DENVER. Oct. 3o.-The proposed
state legislation isolating both resi-
dent consumptives and those coming
here has led to the incorporation Of

sicians, and combines isolation with
the Amick treatment, which each con-
sumptive is given opportunity of test
ing with medicines furnished these
physicians by the Cincinnati doctor
without cost. The Boston company for
the colonization in Colorado of is
olated consumptives has applied to
the state land commissioner for two
sections of land, which will give out

DEATH OF PHILO HALL.

Philo Hall, aged S7 years and four months old, departed this life on Tues day, February II, after an illness of 8 week. His mind had been greatly im- paired for long time, that rendered him great care, in his later years, to his companion, who ministered to his neces- sities with faithful tenderness to the last. In 1884 he was married and the union was blessed with three sons and three daughters, all but one son and one daugh- ter being married. During this long union of nearly 60 years, death has never invaded the home, fact most unpreced- ented. Mr Hall was one of family of eight children, all of whom passed be- yOnd the three score years and TO-. There is still one surviving brother, aged about 72 years. The deceased was na- tive of the town of Easton, having been born but few rods from his late resi- dence, and in which vicinity he always resided. He was probably the oldest resident of the town, and was much es- teemed as a neighbor and cti"en having at one time represented the town at Hartford. His funeral services were held at his late residence on Friday, Feb ruary l7, Rev J. F. Dunkerke officia- ting, and his remains were buried in the Easton. The pail bearers were Messrs Austin A. Hall, Edson W. Hall, Charles K. Booth, and c. w. Blakeman.
