him, but all had passed from his pos
session before his death. Going to
Washington, he married there the
young woman for whom he left.h
wife. The marriage was made famous
by Eugene Fields poem Of the $4,000
nightgown, which was alleged to be
part of the mine-king's troussea.
From that time he became the butt of
the western newspaper paragraphers,
a sore trial to him. He had been in
politics and had been elected Lieuten-
ant-Governor Of Colorado, and had run
for United States Senator, but had
been defeated. Subsequently he was
appointed Senator to fill an unexpired
term Of one month, but his public life
was embittered by the enmity Of many
men who had known him in Leadville
and could not forgive him for his
treatment of his wife.
Tabor built opera houses and hotels,
but lost money on them. There is
not space here to tell Of the steps by
which he was reduced to beggary, but

Left with nothing. At the age Of So
he took pick and went to work. His
second wife stood by him in his mis-
fortunes as the first had done, and
they lived as other laboring people do.
For year he worked thus, declaring
with unbroken courage that he would
dig out another fortune for himself
and his family. Then Winfield Scott
Stratton, the Cripple Greek mining
king, gave him $4,000 to start life
with anew. President Mckinley ap-
pointed him Postmaster of Denver,
and there he finished his life; but to
the end many Of his old friends of the
mining days would have nothing to do
with him.

The Making Of Glass Eyes.

The world of manufacture contains
many departments shat the public
knows little about; take, for example,
the glimpse into glass eye factory,
given by the Pottery Gazette:
One Of the quaintcst and most in
teresting Of industriesiis the manu-
facture Of glass eyes. The demand
for these counterfeits of nature is so
great and constant thata large factory
employing scores Of hands, is kept
busily engaged in their supply. They
are produced at the rate Of over eighty
a day, or twenty-six thousand a year,
and range in price from FIVE dollars to
fifty dollars each, according to the
care demanded in their production.
For practical purposes and scanty
purposes a glass eye valued at five
dollars meets every reasonable require
ment, and, considering that the aver
age life Of these eyes is only year,
the replacement is an appreciable item
in the year 8 estimate. For this pur-
pose tears are luxury to be avoided,
as they destroy the enamel more
quickly than any other form Of wear
and tear.
Thousands Of these cheap, ready
made eyes in every tint of gray, blue,
brown and even green are kept in
stock, and form rather CHASTITY array
in the large partitioned trays in which
they are exposed for selection. The
regular customer is spared this ordeal,
for sample eye is invariably kept, so
that the worn out optic mag be re-
placed by the next post.
The modern glass eye is distinctly
work Of art, requiring great skill in
its production, and is very different
from the crude and expensive substi-
tutes used in remote ages. The
Egyptians, in the days Of the Pha-
raohs, wore eyes Of gold and silver,
and, at later period, Of copper and
ivory. The Middle Ages introduced
porcelain into their manufacture, and
a century ago it was thought 6nality
had been reached by making them Of
glass. Now, however, enamelis used,
exclusively, and from this material
eyes are made which, even to close
scrutiny, battle detection.
In the first stage of manufacture
the eye is in the form Of long, thin
stick Of enamel. This is subjected to.
intense heat under a blow-pipe, and
gradually moulded into an elliptical
shape--an elongated sphere. A little
colored enamel is then placed in the
centre of the oval and by gentle heat
and skilful rotation, the iris is formed;
poins of darker enamel being added
to represent the pupil. A layer Of
crystal forms the cornea, and when
the eye is cool it is skilfully followed
out to form a concave oval. After
careful polishing it is ready for the
wearer.

The bill which was introduced in the

OLD CUBAN STAMPS FOR SALE.
Havana Brokers Want to Do Busines
With Uncle Sam.

There is a firm of bankers in Havana
anxious to sell Uncle Sam job lot of old
Cuban stamps and postal supplies. One of
the firm called upon the Postmaster Cen
eral yesterday and explained how his house
had been the agents of the Spanish gov
eminent, and handled on a small commits
sion all the postal supplies on the island.
In this way the Spanish government was
relieved of the expense incident to SUBJ
agents of the firm, and made pretty good
thing out of the arrangement.
The barker was informed that Uncle Sam
had stamps enough of his own, and did not
require any of the old Spanish variety. II
vas explained to him that the order of the
President in relation to this matter was, in
effect, that nothing but United States
stamps be used in the territory either ac-
quired by the United States or which came
under its military jurisdiction. The banker
was given to understand in no uncertain
language that the United States did not
propose to either buy these stamps or to
countenance their use.

After some further remarks by Messrs
Dr1ggs (N.Y.) and Dinsmore lark in favor
the bill was read for amendment under the
hVe-minute rule.
Rank of Staff officers.
Mr.. Foss offered the following amend
ment to the section giving staff officers
positive rank, and it was adopted without
division: But officers whose rank is so
defined shall not be entitled, in virtue of
the rank, to command in the line or in
other staff corps. Neither shall this act be
construed as changing the titles of officers
in the staff corps of the navy"
Mr.. Bailey (Texas) objected to the aboli-
ton of the rank of commodore. Our great

modore and he was opposed TO its aboli-
ton TO meet the social distinctions of for
eign powers and foreign courts. 1t might
be only a sentiment, but he preferred an
American sentiment to the etiquette of
foreign court. (Applause.)
Mr.. Dayton explained that the title of
commodore was unknown abroad. and that
on state occasions they did not know where
to place a commodore.

American commodore at the dance" inter
posed Mr. Bailey, but they know where to

Without completing the consideration of
the BILL the committee rose, and, at 3
