the public. When Senator Teller resigned from the senate to take the secretaryshfp of the interior in President Arthurs cab inet in 1881. Tabor was appointed senator to succeed MT. Teller His term of ser vice was short It lasted about thirty two days The legislature refused to elect him for the remainder of the unexpired term Tabor gained great fame during his months career in the senate, by buying three night shirts. for which he paid s250 apiece. Among other things he did dur ing those memorable thirty-two days, was to marry his second wife. His first wife he had married when he was poor. He had made money and was many times a millionaire. It was then that he went to the senate. His plain wife of his early days was not good enough for him then He put her away through the dishonesty of divorce court. He procured divorce by fraud, his wife not even knowing that a divorce was contemplated. He married his second and young wife in willard's hotel, in Washington. After his thirty two days career in the senate he returned to Colorado. Bad luck followed him from the day he procured his fraudulent di- yorce For the past three years he has
 
 story house 15xS2 feet square. His for tune is gone. He is getting old now, and it is impossible for him to dig with pick and shovel either silver or gold from the vast richness of Colorado's soil, in which manner he made his first start. There fore he sought the office of postmaster of Denver Tabor deserved all the bad luck that has followed him. His conduct in divorcing his first wife without any cause was about the lowest thing that man could be guilty of. He perjured himself in order to secure the divorce. His wit neses did the same thing.
 From the present indications the pro- posed national quarantine at Mobile does not promise much. I read a few days ago In a Mobile paper the program of the con Ventlon. It consisted of nothing more than the reading of lot of papers by men in all Kinds of business, from the quack doc tor to the jack-leg lawyer. Mobile seems to be greatly elated over the fact that a number of prominent men are to attend the convention and in that way Mobile will get great deal of advertising. Such ad- vertising does not amount to a continental The convention will not, dare say, be of any benefit toward providing a perfect sys- tenn of quarantine. It bids fair to be a high class oratorical contest. It has not developed yet that any man who is going to attend this convention has any matured plans as to what will make genuine quar- antine system. It is to be hoped, of course, that the convention will do some good There is no disguising the fact that a large majority of the people of the south are in favor of national quarantine. The people are tired of so many kinds of quar- antine that no one feels safe. Florida has one system, Alabama, Mississippi, Louis jana, Texas and Georgia all different kinds Whats good in one state is not good in another. This affords little protection against epidemics. A national quarantine will do a great deal of good throughout the entire south. The people of Mobile may say that the disease of last year was not yellow fever. No matter whether it was yellow fever or not, it killed people just the same. The doctors down there say that if it was yellow fever it was a mild type That made difference The people died from it. The general government is in position to handle epidemics to the best interests of everybody. There is no states rights question involved in a national quar- antine It will appear to any sensible man that the health of the people of the country is of more consideration that all else. The bill introduced by Senator Vest, which is a substitute for the Caffrey bill, provides that all physicians employed by the general government shall be residents of the state in which they are assigned to duty. The bill does not in any way abridge the rights of the people, but it will do much toward proecting their health against yellow fever epidemics.
