He was born in Bourne, Lincolnshire
in 1925 and was early apprenticed 10 a
printer.
He didn't like typesetting and fed to
London where he went into a dry goods
store, studying French in the mean
time.
At 81 years of age he set out for
Paris, entered a dry goods store there
and eventually became partner in
the concern.
The present establishment of which
he was the head employed 1000 people
to whom il is reported Worth was al
ways very kind and generous.
He never made a dress for Queen
Victoria. but she is the only reigning
woman in Europe who has not patron
lied him az one time or another.
Two sons survive him. one of them.
John Worth, follows his fathers foot
steps in creating dresses. The other.
Castor Worth, is business manager Of
the concern.
He often made dresses costing but
500 and he often said that he made
more dresses costing less than $3.50
than he did for more than that price.
-
The most expensive dress he ever
made was for a Peruvian woman. 1t
cost s24 600 but it had $23, 900 worth OF
lace upon il.
He had room apart for the recep-
ton of actresses. These women would
appear before Worth and act their parts
in forthcoming plays and he would
select dresses appropriate to the parts.
Every costume made in his establish
ment was photographed and numbered
and filed in it's proper class.
The only vacation he ever took was a
yearly sojOJTn at the sea shore. There
he always met the fabric manufacturers
and discussed new goods and textiles
with them. His goods were made ex-
clusively for him.
He had a strange dislike for per-
fumes. This antipathy was decided
and he would not permit in his estab
lishment any strongly fragrant bios
soms-even roses being prohibited.

which appeared in to-day's Standard
The fire was discovered soon after z
o'clock in the second story of Schoen-
feldt's lodging house, and 1t is sup
posed to have started from a candle
in a miners candlestick. Once started
the flames spread with .frightful rapid
fty and. although all the men from the
Iron Mountain mine turned out to fight
the blaze, 1t was not stopped until the
buildings on one side OF the street had
been destroyed. One after another the
buildings caught fire and were rapidly
in flames Else's store. Pete Sharret's
saloon, the Mcdonald building (empty),
Brabazonis store, ellis & McDonalds
saloon. were all destroyed. Nothing
was saved except the stock and fix
lures from Babazon's store. which the
miners removed to a place of safety.
All the buildings were frame, but were
well built and the loss on the buildings
and stock is estimated at about SO, 500.
None of the owners carried any insur-
ance whatever.
IL Will De remembered tnat Wlulam
Brabazon lost his hotel, store and stock
about a year ago. The present store
was a new one and was well stocked.
Mr.. Brabazon's friends will be glad to
know that he saved his stock. When
the miners had removed the stock
from this store. the building was
blown up in the hope of preventing a
further spread of the fire, but a small
shed in the rear. which was filed with
wood. carried the fire around to ellis
& McDonalds.
Directly opposite the store Is a hand
some new hotel, built last spring by
Mr.. Brabazon. The front of this was
badly scorched and the windows all
broken. 1t was on fire several times.
but the miners threw snow upon IL
and kept the fire down. The loss on
this building will reach several hun
bred dollars. Nothing more is known
of the origin of the fire than is stated
above. 1t Is supposed that some of the
men who slept in Schoenfeldt's house
left a candle burning when they went
to work. and that the candle either
burned through the candlestick or else
the latter fell down, dropping the fire
upon the bed. There is no fire protec-
ton in the camp and no company
would insure the buildings. Hence, the
loss in all instances Is total.

pears to be long way off. The Ives
people and the Farmers Loan & Trust
company fixed I'D a little scheme to
suit themselves and tried to carry 1t
through the United States courts in

did not work. The Judges who did not
take a hand and appointed receivers are
rather tenacious OF their judicial rights

appointees to the receiverships. The

MORE CONVICTIONS.
The State Has Been For. innate In Making
It's Cases Strong.


Its Cases Strong.
Missoula, Nov. 23.-It took the Jury
In the grand larceny case against Fred
b. Wyman just half an hour to decide
that Wyman was guilty. A verdict
was thus rendered this afternoon, and
the punishment is left to the court.
Tuesday, at p. m, was fixed as the
time for sentence. The case has al
ready been fully stated in the Stand
ard and the evidence developed moth
ing new. The defense sought to show
that the value of the horse, saddle
and chaps which Wyman stole from
A. b Tyler was not OF sufficient value
to constitute grand larceny, the object
being to secure conviction for petty
larceny. This failed. however, and
Wyman will be the guest OF McTague
& Conley for a while. At the close of
this CAGE the Jurors were discharged
for the term.
BY agreement of the county attorney
and counsel for Mrs. Glenn her trial
was continued for the term and she
was commanded to appear with her
counsel in court on Nov. 20 to have
her case set for trial at the next term
of court.
Nathan Wylie, the negro who fired
Ed HATS house on Oct. 81, and who
was supposed to be insane until his
recent examination, appeared in court
this afternoon and by his counsel en-
tered a plea of guilty to the charge OF
arson In the second degree. He will
be sentenced at 10 O'Clock Monday
morning.
Judge Woody issued an order for the
sheriff to deliver to ex-Coroner Porter
of Butte $40, the balance of the money
stolen from him by Jack the Ripper"
and found ON the latter when he was
arrested.
The criminal business for the term
has all been disposed of and County
Attorney Dixon has made a remarka-
bly, good record In every case except
that of Mrs. Glenn, which is continued,
he has secured a conviction of the ac-
cused. and in two cases the evidence
for the state was weak. 1t is an ex-
cellent showing.
