Nearly every man | meet here has some
funny story to tell about Tabor. l was
chatting the other day with a member
of the Colorado Legislature. He recalled
the time when Tabor was supposed to be
buying votes right and left in order to be
elected to the United States Senate. This
was just at about the time that Mrs.
Humphry Wards novel was creating a
sensation. and one of the politicians
asked Tabor if he had yet seen Robert
Elsmere," referring, of course, to the
novel
"EIsmere? Elsmere?" said Tabor.
''No, have not seen him. From what
part of the state does he come? How
much will it cost to get his vote, any

Tabor's Opera house here has long
passed out of his hands and also the
Tabor block, says a Denver letter to the
Buffalo Express. His opera house IN
Leadville is no longer his, and am not
sure that his picture is still left on the
drop curtain: 1t was there for time, at
any rate, and the way in which it was put
there forms the subject of the story, L
heard yesterday. 1t was when the build
ing had been completed and the artist was
painting the drop curtain that Tabor came
in. AS he watched the progress OF the
| work he asked the artist, Whose picture
| is that which you're painting IN the CEN
| ter of the curtain?
"Sha kespeare." replied the artist.
'Who is Shakespeare" asked the fut-
| ure senator.
'Why," said the artist, che is the man
who has written the greatest Of plays =
| the bard of Avon, you know"
"Shakespeare?' said Tabor. Seems to
me I've heard the name somewhere. But
what in thunder has Shakespeare done
| for LeadVilleT
Nothing that 1 know Of" said the
artist.
"Then paint that picture out and paint
me in" And that is the way TabOr's
picture came to be on the drop curtain.

The question why the negro is called
more Sun: "Many years ago, when
supersGitions held greater sway than now
and the influences OF the occult and
weird were most potent, a cunning negro
slave had acquired the reputation of pos
sessing a familiar spirit and of be-
ing able to perform many uncaRny mys-
teries. His fellow-slaves held him in
great awe, and even his master grew to
belief in his powers. This finally led

Whittier NO Lover Of Music,

Mr. Stanton's business took him to
Boston, so he settled his family in Chel-
sea, a suburb from which you can see
the ocean and Bunker Hill monument
also. Whittier visited us there, and one
evening as the ladies were about to sing
for his entertainment Mr.. Stanton ex-
claimed: ''Do not touch note; you
will put every nerve of Whittier's body
on edge" 1t seemed, to Mrs. Stanton,
so natural for a poet to love music that
she was surprised to know that it was a
torture to him.
While visiting the Stantons at Chelsea,
under the influence Of the summer moon
and Mrs. Stantons sympathy, Whittier
opened to her a deeply-interesting page
of his life, "a sad romance of love and
disappointment, that may not yet be told,
as some who were interested in the events
are still among the living. elizabeth

Sept. 10, 1898.
For myself I can say I never
felt better since we got into the
city. We are supposed to be in
barracks, but they are very poor.
We did not have much room in
the beginning, and then they put
20 new men in with us. In the
taking of Manila the Colorado
regiment was in the lead. Com
pany I only lost one man. Our
regiment has been presented with
two 4-inch guns that we captured.
We will bring them back with us
when we come-and l don't care
how soon that is.
l suppose you would like to
hear about the fruit here. Bananas,
oranges and cocoanuts are the
principal ones. Then there are the
bread fruit, figs and mango, the
last of which is a very peculiar
fruit. 1t is shaped like pear,
but has a very peculiar taste. 1t is
very rich and u person dare not
eat many at q time. They also
have a kind of apple called the
Mamie. It is tough and dry
and when ripe the skin is very red.
They also have the slime, which
is somew hat like the lemon, only
smaller. They raise quite a lot Of
sugar cane here also.
When we came into the city ev-
erything was shut down-the rail-
road, street cars and most Of the
business houses, but everything is
running now. There is lots of
stuff being brought in by water
and by rail. When we came in
flour was worth $50 per hundred
and we sold hard tack for Is per
box.
The Natives are causing us a
little trouble. The soldiers have
killed several of them. We were
called out this morning and kept
out all forenoon to keep them qui-
ct, but our old "Long Toms" qui-
eted them iu hurry.
The Insurgents have got the
idea into their heads that we are
going to let Spain have these
islands back again, SO they started
to throw up intrenchments. That
is what caused the row yesterday.
1t is all settled now, for n time at
least.
The natives and Cinnamon make
the majority of the inhabitants.
There are only about 10000 Spain
iards, soldiers and all. Then there
are few English and French and
quite number of Germans. Most
of the foreign war ships have lei'.
The talk of Germany interfering
here is oil newspaper talk. Ger
man warships carry mail for us,
and they could not treat us better.
