Death of wm. C. stahle.
From the Tombstone Prospsotor ]

-tSAaA tAc -oiAbSsyAc htSP1Sbb4s
 Last night about F o'clock, Wm. c. stahle passed to the beyond, having re ceived stroke of apoplexy the day previous, from which he did not revive and death came as he wished it-s painless one. The deceased has been resident of Tombstone for many years and perhaps as familiarity known in this section as any citizen of the county. lnstinctively and intuitively gentleman and as naturally of jovial disposition, he won the friendship of legion of acquaintances. Though his own greatest enemy, he was incapable of inhicting upon others wound or a harsh and unkind word, leaving no scar behind. The deceased was schol- arly and well versed in law and cur rent topics. He served one term by election as district attorney of this county and twice as city attorney. h Montana and other states he also held official positions which he cre.litably filled. In the death of one who was so universally well liked, 1t is pardonable in the charitable condoning of fault and emulation of the virtues and noble traits of good character which are lessons that should not be lost. De- ceased has relatives in Illinois who were notified of his demise. The funeral is set for 5:90 p. III. to day from the undertaking parlors and friends and acquantances are respect fully invited to attend.

The rains have come at last and the drought which has caused so much havoc and consternation for over two years is thing of the past. The fall and winter of 1899 were unusully dry and the spring of 1900 opened up with dismal prospects. Cattle were dying, feed was scarce and water was still scarcer. The summer came and nearly passed without any relief. It was not until the latter part of August last year that the rains appeared. The fall and winter witnessed copious precipita- tions. A great many cattle were ship ped out last winter in anticipation of the continuance of the drought. The ranges in many places were almost de- pleted. But the overstocked sections received a much needed rest and gath cred new life and strength in the res pite. The grass roots were in splendid shape this spring and summer; all that was necessary to make them bud out again in their primitive glory was moisture.- Range News.

Several Mexicans were arrested Saturday on complaint of Special Agent S. J. HoIsinger, of the interior department, for digging up and selling prehistoric relies. Deputy Marshal c. F. Smullin made the arrests and took the prisoners to Prescott. There are not great many white people who are aware of the existence of this law, and these poor people. who can neither speak, read or write the English language, were entirely ignorant of it. Further, they had been taught by attaches of the Smithsonian Institute where and how to dig for these relics, and presumed they had a perfect right to do So for their person. al benefit. They are poor and their arrest and taking to Prescott, to be turned loose, worked quite hardship on them, as it left them in that place strapped, without cent to pay their way back, but the officials got their mileage and the pottery Winslow Mail.

English literature than from the
nediaeval French and German rom
ances. Since then he has devoted him
self mainly to historical or semi-his-
torical subjects, with an occasional ex-
cursus into portrait painting. His
most famous recent pictures in the
former line are Richard, Duke Of
Gloucester, and the Lady Anne"
1896; "Hemlet" Qs97), and king
Lear's Daughters" 1888. Among the
best known portraits are water colors
of Andrew Carnegie, j. w. Harper and
R. G. Dun.
Mr.. Abbey was elected member of
the Royal Institute of Painters in
Water Colors in 1883, and member of
the Royal Academy of England in 1896.
He won . secondclass medal at the
Paris Exposition Of 1883 and a first
class medal at the Paris Exposition of
1889.
When the present king was married,
IN 1863 the commission to commemor-
to the most popular painter of the
period, W. P. Firth, R. A., who is still
living. In his Autobiography and
"reminiscences" Mr. Firth has given an
amusing account of the difficulties that
confronted him. Similar difficulties
will doubtless, have to be met and
conquered by Mr.. Abbey.
Mr.. Firth had great trouble with the
bride, Princess Alexandra, herself. She
did not seem to realize that she must
keep her face in one position if the
painter was to catch resemblance of
1t. He appealed to the Prince Of
Wales. "You should scold her," said
he. Firth was not hero enough for so
heroic a measure. At that time Glib
son was making bust of the same
lady. Firth hoped he might get
hint from the unfinished bust. He
found, however, that it was not a good
likeness, and said SO. WELL" said
Gibson, "the princess is delightful
lady but she can't sit bit" At this
moment the prince and princess en-
tered Gibson's studio. The prince
said:
How do you find the princess sits
Mr.. Gibson?"
Gibson looked in dead silence at the
prince, then at the princess, smiled,
and shook his head.
There, you see," said the prince.
you neither sit properly to Mr.. Glib
son nor to Mr.. Firth"
II do! 1 dol" said the lady. you
are two bad men!" And then every
body smiled, "and never again did Glib
son and I have to complain of our
beautiful sitter"

EDWIN AUSTIN ABBEY
THE ARTIST WHO is TO PAINT
THE CORONATION.
He Is . Graduate of the Pennsylvania
Gallery of Fine Arts-Hs Went to
England and There Became a Subject
Of the Crown.

That Edwin Austin Abbey has been
selected as the official painter OF the
coming coronation is a tribute to great
artistic achievement. Mr.. Abbey is
one of that considerable colony OF
Americans who have taken up per-
manent residence in England. Whist
ler, Sargent and Henry James are
among his fellow exiles All have won
honor abroad.
Born in Philadelphia in 1852, MT.
Abbey studied at the Pennsylvania
Academy of Fine Arts In 1871 he be-
gan drawing for Harper's Magazine
and other publications Of the Harper
Brothers in New York He soon rose
to be the favorite illustrator in black
and white for both books and peril
odicals. His methods were especially
adapted to the Interpretation of the
quiet idylls of the old time country life
and to portrayals of the beruffied, gay
" dressed cavaliers and danes in
quilted petticoats, who wnirled through
the Mayfair of eighteenth century Eng
land. His first successes were won, in
fact, by illustrations to Herrlcks S
poems and Goldsmith's comedies. But
it was not until after he had taken up
his residence in London, in 1878, that
he discovered the true bent OF his
genius. His greatest achievements of
this latter more ambitious period are
permanently placed in the country of
his birth. These are the five mural
paintings illustrating THE Quest of the
Holy Grail" now in the delivery room
of the Boston Public Library. Mr..
Abbey drew his inspiration less from

The Foot That Stands.

keep your strength, use it. If you want
to get tired, do nothing. AS matter

TRICKS OF SILK WORKERS.
Making of limitations of This Fabric
Briefly Explained.

Making of limitations of This Fabric
Briefly Explained.
Pure silk, when 1t has been through
all the processes necessary to bring
out all its good qualities. ID worth its
weight in silver, said an expert the
other day. Therefore the women who
expect to buy pure silk at bttle more
than the price of cotton must expect
to be fooled; and there are lots OF ways
by which the manufacturer gets even
with them. They make stuff that Is
called silk, and passes for 1t with cred
ulous persons, who don't know any bet
ter, out of nearly any old thing now.
One favorite imitation silk is made OF
celluloid treated with chemicals. 1t
isn't good material to get on fire
in. Then there are South Sea Island
cottons and some mercerized cottons,
which, after treatment, look something
like silk, though, of course, they wear
very differently and their silken ap-
pearance soon vanishes. But it is in
adulterating goods which really have
some silk In them that the greatest
skill is exercised to deceive the buyer
To obtain the required rustic and body
rough floss is often used for the woof
of the material. This soon causes 1t
to wear shiny. Another trick is to IN
crease the weight and apparent sol1dty
of flimsy silk material by using me-
tallic salts in the dye watts. Pressing,
with some kinds of silk, increases the
weight also, but at the sacrifice or
strength. Cheap, crackly, stiff SILK
which has heavy cords is good silk
to avoid. 1t won't wear. There are
several tests which reveal readily the
purity of piece of silk. The micro
scope, of course, will show 1t at once,
even to an unpracticed eye. Pure silk
has the appearance of fine smooth
tubes. Another good test is by BURN
ing. Pure silk burns slowly, with a
slight odor cotton flares up quickly
and would throw off decidedly dis
agreeable smell. Then the tongue VIII
readily reveal the presence of metallic
salts. There is no mistaking their
taste. But all these may be Disregard
ed, said the expert, when silk Is offer
ed for the price of cotton. You need
not bother to test that stuff.-San
Francisco Call.

What Makea HappIness.

Margaret Deland has delivered sever
al lectures of late before various Bos-
ton clubs on the Duty of Happiness"
There are" she said, "as many opin-
ions Of happiness as there are people
In the world, but the first and most
important distinction which we must
make is this: happiness is spiritual
possession and is independent of ma
terial things. Happiness is thinking
straight and seeing clear and having a
true perception Of the value Of things"
Mrs. Deland declared that young girls
just starting out in life should not
have . grievance, and asked: 'Is the
world any better or happier for our
grievances? Poverty Of the mind or
cowardice Of the soul is shown By q
tendency to throw on others the trivi-
alitiss cf our own discomfort"

GHOST OF THE CAGE.
Optical Illusion Rssponsibis for Many
Fatal Mine Shaft Accidents.

Fatal Mine Shaft Accidents.
Every year there are hundreds of ell
evator accidents, said the old inspector.
and very few Of them are from the
breaking OF cables of brakes. The ma
jority of the cases on record can be
traced to this one fact: The victim
stepped into the shaft. Now, why on
earth would a sane man do such
thing? Why, he simply thought he
saw the elevator car in it's accustomed
place, and when he stepped on what
he thought was solid floor he went to
his death. The first of these remark
able elevator accidents that was ever
noticed came to light in the mining
regions of Colorado. Years ago l was
out in that section of the country en-
gineering for different companies, and
in regard to these accidents l speak
from what l actually saw. The first
accident of this kind l ever heard of
was in one of the deep silver mines Of
Leadville. One of the oldest men in
the employ of the company, a man
who had been following mining for
half of his life and knew this mine as
he knew the streets of Leadville, ran
a car of ore over the edge Of the shaft
on the third level and was dragged
down to the bottom with it. He was
mortally injured, but before he died
he told the doctor that he saw the
cage" at the shaft. Since that time
there have been any number of acci-
dents of like nature in the mines out
west. Some times the victims were all
killed at once, but those who survived
always swore that they saw the cage.
I have talked to old miners, and they
say they dread nothing more than the
ghost of the cage" They say that it
comes to men who have worked all
their lives in the mines. In fact, the
longer a man has worked in mine the
more apt is he to see the ghost Of
the cage" So, taking it altogether, l
firmly believe that those who lose their
lives by stepping into open elevator
shafts really see the elevator car. 1t
is one of the most fatal optical illu-
sions in the world, but such 1t must
be. The victim has become accustomed
to seeing the cage at the shaft when
he needs it, and the picture Of 1t is
fixed in his brain. When the fatal
step is taken that sends him to death,
he really sees 1.-THE ghost of the cage.
