cAsIN's STRANGE DEATH.


A letter from Guatemala dated March
IL: says: Calvin Casin, an American
friend OF Ezeta. the dethroned mon
arch OF Salvador, walked over the clif
few days since near the port OF AGA
Julia, and was dashed to pieces on the
rocks below. Nobody believes that the
act was suicidal. though he declined to
take food for couple Of days prior
to the occurrence. 1t will be remem-
bered that Casin made a fortune In
Salvador variously estimated at from
$500. 900 to 81, OO0. 900. He shared Eze-
ta's exile. and participated in the ex-
pense of sloop on which Antonio
Ezeta and he sailed for California q
couple OF years ago. Ezeta died In
Panama in poverty. and the same rate
overlook Mr.. Casin."

The Cripple Creek correspondent OF
the Denver Republican says:
The number OF mills in the Cripple
Creek district will. before the end of
the present year, be increased by at
least three, two of which are now in
course of construction. and the plans
for the third are understood TO be rap
idly assuming shape.
The addition TO the milling capacity
can only be regarded as of material
benefit TO the district, both as an as
surance OF its promising future, and as
n greatly increased production. Fur

low grade. should be the means

vogue, and hence enable operators TO
market ore of lower grade than is
possible at present
There are now three mills in opera
tisn in the district-the Gillett Reduc-
ton Works, the Brodie and the Arequa.
The last mentioned has the greatest
capacity-l35 tons-but is small COM
pared with at least two of the mills
contemplated. The smallest of the new
mills, the Murphy, is now nearing
completion and should be in operation
in short time. Its location is TO the
south of the town of Victor, and the
process is an entirely new one for the
district. This process has been thor
oughly tested in Denver, and consists
of crushing the ore 10 n forty-mesh.

ONE BARoN'S ILL LUCK.

Baron Brunnerboum has finally been
arrested in St Louis upon charge
OF vagrancy. because no other COM
plant seemed to be strong enough to
premise a conviction. He has spent
his brief term in the ST. Louis jail
very philosophically. He seems to be
not at all ashamed Of himself, but
when he heard the sentence lining
him 800 for vagrancy he bowed
grandly to the. Judge and asked air
lily for a stay of execution long enough
to give him time to leave town. He
speaks flippantly of American women.

whom he met literally threw them

expense and constant annoyance to
his people. The baronial estate, OF
which he talks SO pertly, is stin In
existence, but like many such ancient
holdings, it has passed from the con-
troll OF Its hereditary owner to whom
it was never anything but an expen-
sive burden.

John Wanamaker. the multi-million-

A 1o0-ton concentrating mill arrived a
day or two ago at Woodland Park sta
ton on the Colorado Midland road and
was unloaded to-day. 1t will be ship

where recent developments in the sand
stone deposits of that region have at
tracted attention TO the mining of gold.
Mr.. q. w. Templeton. one of the pio-
neers of mining in this county. came
down to the city to-day and was au-
thority for the statement made above.
He said that gentleman who is we'll
known to Mr.. Wanamaker gave the re-
port its start.
The mill will he taken to Manitou
Park and put up Immediately. An or

placed for the mill. and work on the
erection will begin within a week. The
capacity Is 100 tons day, and 1t is
proposed to treat low grade ores by a
concentrating process.
There are already two mills In the
region, one for fifty tons and one for
100 tons day. They were taken In

After having sung for fifty years in
the same church choir continuously,
missing very few services, at Reading,
Pa., says q correspondent Of the New
York Sun, Daniel Shaaber, Jacob Shaa-
Der and james Hill sent in their resig-
nations because their voices were posi-
bly, not as good as the large congrega-
ton had a reasonable right to expect.
These singers are now nearly 20 years
old, but are still young and active in
mind and body, and they still Gun sing
In a manner that Is wonderful to those
who hear them. The brothers Shaaber
say that the vocal organs of the throat

the eyes, ears, arms or limbs Of the
human body If they are properly exer-
cised and taken care of. They expert
ence no difficulty in singing right along
with the younger folks in the choir, but
they now desire to quit because they
imagine the congregation may want to
hear new voices.
They have sung to five generations
In the church and have kept 1t up so
regularly that thousands of people
have been more than surprised. The
Shaabers sang tenor and Mr.. Hill bass.
Besides singing in the choir for half a
century of years, they also sang at
church festivals and private gatherings
of the congregation, always without
charge, as the church had no paid
choir, and the singers officiated as q
labor of love. Being comfortably stu
ated in life, they desire no reward from
the church.
The church officers held a meeting,
refused to accept their designations and
consented to relieve them of active ser.
vice in the choir, but reserving their
places MS long as they live, SO that

Through the Leading Newspapers.
The few remedies which have attained
to worldwide fame, as truly beneficial in
effect and giving satisfaction to millions
of people everywhere, are the products of
the knowledge of the most eminent ply
s%icians, and presented in the form most
acceptable to the human system by the
skill of the worlds great chemist; and one
of the most successful examples is the
Syrup of Figs manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. Unlike n host CT
limitations and cheap substitutes, Syrup of
Figs is permanently beneficial in it's e.
fects, and therefore lives and promotes
good health, while inferior preparations
are being cast aside and forgotten. In
olden times IL n remedy gave temporary
relief TO individuals here and there, it was
thought good; but nowadays a laxative
remedy must give satisfaction to all. II
you have never used Syrup of Figs, give it
a trial, md you will be pleased with it,
aud will recommend it to your friends or
to any who suffer from constipation, or
from overlooking, or from colds, head.
aches, biliousness, or other ills rcsultin.
from al inactive condition Of the kidneys,
liver and bowels.
In the process Of manufacturing The
pleasant family laxative made by the Cal.
ifornia Fig Syrup Co., and named Syrup
of Figs, figs are used, as they are pleasant
to the taste: but the medicinal properties
of the remedy arc obtained from an excel
lent combination of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and to act most bcnc.
ficially. AS the true and original remedy,
named Syrup of Figs, is manufactured by
the California Fig Syrup Co. only, a
knowledge of that fact will assist in
avoiding the worthless limitations manu-
featured by other parties. The company
has selected for years past the leading
publications. of the United States through
which to inform the public of the merits
of it's remedy, and among them this
paper is included, as will be seen by

Deafness Cannot Re Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the

way to cure Deafness. and that is by constitu-

Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have u rumbling sound or imperfect hear
Ing. and when 1t is entirely closed Deafness is
the result; and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out n this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed. forever;
