TO her family made her domestic life
peculiarly charming.
She was one of the most consistent
and devoted members of the First
Baptist church, having been member
of it from the time of her baptism by
Rev. Mr. Wood, May. 1865. In her death
the church experiences very great loss.
She leaves a hallowed memory. Her
long sickness for over year, though
very distressing. was borne with the
greatest of patience and Christian cour.

happy one, her death gloriously
victorious one. Her death occurred a.
most exactly upon the anniversary OF
her birth, marriage and baptism.
Though it was known that death was
liable to occur almost at any time, yet
it came as great shock. After sleepie g
for several hours quietly, she suddenly
breathed her last.

mother has been so tender and constant
from the first of her sickness, was con

The Humidity Meter.

The amount Of moisture present or
the humidity of the air is determined
by a comparison of dry and wet bulb
thermometers. They are both ordinary
thermometers, but the bulb Of the latter
is covered with muslin that is wet. In
the latest form of instrument the Their
mometers are mounted on arms carried
by shaft that is rotated by crank
which is geared to the shaft. The mo-
ton of the shaft rotates the thermome-
tiers in vertical planes and causes the
water in the muslin to evaporhte more
or less rapidly, according to the amount
of moisture in the air. This evaporation
lowers the temperature of the thermom
eter, and from tables constructed after
long experiments the degree of moisture
can be determined by the difference in
temperature between the two thermom

FRANK RUBY STEPS OUT
Retires From F. & c. c. Staff to
Attend to Private interests

Frank Ruby has resigned his
Office as chief storekeeper of the
Florence and Cripple Creek rail
road and has been succeeded by
j. G. Simmons, of the Denver
and Rio Grande superintendent's
office at Salida. Mr.. Ruby retires
on account of temporarily impaired
health and his desire to give his
attention to his personal interests,
especially the stock business, in
which he is engaged in the south
eastern part of the State. Frank
Ruby opened the first station on
the Florence and Cripple Creek
road and went out on the first
train over its rails. He was the
first agent of the company at
Victor and was appointed chief
storekeeper about four years ago,
which position he has since held
to the eminent satisfaction Of the
company, which, in losing his
services, is deprived of one of its
most painstaking and generally
useful employees.
Mr.. Ruby is known personally
to every man connected with the
Florence and Cripple Creek and
is a very general favorite. He has
made a large number of friends
during his residence in Florence
which began in September, 1894.
They will be glad to know that he
expects to remain in his pretty
home in this town. He was form
erly in the hardware business at
Antonito and Alamosa and is
widely known over the State.
