I've reason, and good one, for feeling
proud tonight,
For all the world is smiling and all the
world is bright,
And everyone about me the pleasure seems
to share
In the contingent of Kitty-my daughter,
Miss O'liare.
Six years or so ago, twas a day in winter
bleak,
With hope staked claim on the soil of
Cripple Creek.
And now? Well. now. a million l think
that could spare
For the contingent" Of Kitty-my daugh-
ter, Miss " Hare.
1t all came with whirl, too; at daylight
not shine
OF earth that paid dollar. At night, the
world was mine!
And will spend lot now, without shred
of care,
On the contingent" of Kitty-my daugh-
ter, Miss 0'IIare.
The gloves, they came from London; the
lace think from Berne;
The slippers are from Stamboul Il give the
world u turn;
American Beauty roses in her corsage she
will wear,
Oh, how proud I'll be Of Kitty--my daugh.
ter, Miss o Hare.
I've spent thousands for the diamonds /;
from Paris came the gown
And TO fill the house with elite, I've ram
sacked all the town.
When the vision breaks upon them |
know they all must stare.
At the 'coming-outl of Kltty-my daugh-
ter, Miss O'Hare.
such welcome to a dinner the Creek did
never know.
Therell be Chambertin and Sauterne,
topped with NeuNe Gliquot
Oh, well will be remembered the dainty bill
of fare,
At the "comng,out' of Kitty-my daugh-
ter, Miss O'lIare. ~

A MOONLIGHT night on Cripple Creek, dia-
monds in the sky,
(As collateral miners ought TO rate them
very high.)
! The shadows from the mountain DER all the
valley creep;
'Tis the coming of the morning, and all the
camps asleep.
So man will dream, to waken and find the
glory gone,
That tinged his thoughts all golden before
the daylight's dawn.
There's no ''coming.out for Kitty until
some other day
For his partner got the nuggets and o. Hare
still digs in clay.

MOTHER AGAINST SON.
Particulars OF tho Suit OF Mrs. bloomfield
II. Moore Against Her son.


II. Moore Against Her son.
The attorneys in tho case OF Mrs.
Bloomfield Ii. Moore against her son,
Clarence b. Moore, appeared Friday
at the office of George L. BiBpham, the
court of Philadelphia to take testi-
mony. The attorneys entered their ap-
pearances and adjourned TO date not
yet fixed.
The suit which viii now be heard
by Mr.. Bispham was occasioned by
the filing, on November Both last, of
a petition by Mrs. Bloomfield III. Moore
in the orphans court in Philadelphia.
In the paper she asked the court TO
remove her son, Clarence b. Moore,
from his position az co-eXecutor OF his
father's estate. She said that the son
did not consult with her as to the
management Of the estate, refused to
see her or receive any communication
from her, and that the interests Of the
estate ARE being ieopardized and its
moneys wasted -
Directly after this petition, in which
the serious charge was made, the son
filed his answer. This was on Decem
bor l1th of the same year. He declared
that he had not been incapacitated
from doing his duty as ono OF the OK
ecutors of his fathers estate and pre-
sented facts to the court which showed
that his management of affairs was an
exemplary one. Then, while defend
ING himself against tho attack of his
mother, he made charge against that
lady, and told Of things which had
never before been suspected.
He admitted that he had not con
suited with his mother as TO the affairs
OF the estate for nearly eight years, hut
added that its finances were in much
more prosperous condition than ever
before. He said he had been the sole
! executor Of his fathers estate since
1878, and that the principal is now
much larger than ever. The bulk OF
the property is invested in the Jessur
! Il Moore Paper Co. Of this State, 81
which he is president. This corpora
ton has capital stock OF q, 440 600.
OF this the Moore estate holds 81, 972,
500, and on it Mrs. Moore mad beer
paid 81, 10000 in cash us dividends
since Mr.. Moore died. He denied that
the stock held by the estate was moi
voted at the annual elections of the
company or that his attorneys had even
refused to receive any and all com.
munications which might be sent hin
by his mother.
Then he gave'his reasons for having
refused TO hold any intercourse what.
ever with his mother. He declared
that for several years his mother had
been insane. She had Sarried on a
system of persecution which had he
come unbearable, and, as it had at lasi
eliminated in an attack upon the good
name of himself and the estate of his
father, he felt constrained TO give the
details, although he felt loath to do SC
after having suffered in silence fol
many years.
He further says that the petition
was filed as the result of threat tc
have him dismissed as executor unless
he would undertake the charge OF hel
Keely motor matters, and that his only
surviving sister, who signed his moth
er's petition, has been insane and il
confinement for many years
