HEALTH AND BEAUTY.


 Too tight shoes gre always worn at the expense of health, for their wearer gives up walking exercises on account of the suffering and difficulty it involves. A
 Everybody lcnowsA how valuable few drops of household ammonia are for all cleansing purposes, but not every one knows how refreshing a tablespoonful of it is in the daily bath. @
 For one who loves a dainty bath there are many simple ways of medi. eating or pertaining it. Almond meal is always nice: oatmeal sewed Tn bag of cheesecloth and then thrown in the water for few moments IS good for the complexion.
 For bathing the face to remove sunburn, milk, buttermillS or lemon juice are all good. Very good, too, is the water, cold, in which cucum- Der has been boiled. Equal parts of rosewater and glycerin, with few drops of benzoin, will work wonders on a rough skin. This should be dabbed on nightly.
 The nutritive value of any fruit de pends chiefly upon the starches ane sugar which it contains. Dates, plan tains, bananas, prunes, figs ane grapes contain the most starch ane sugar, and therefore are the most nutritious foods. Cherries, apples entrants, strawberries and grapes contain considerable vegetable acld making them valuable as blood purl fiers.
 Here is lotion for the woman who is troubled with freckles: One ounce vaseline, two tablespoonful strained lemon juice, half a pin elder flower water, one ounce whit wine vinegar, one ouiiee Jamaic' rum and one ounce alcohol. Spong tie face with this every night afte washing, let dry on, and then rub il a very little good cold cream. Ihi lotion will fade the freclSles so tha they will be scarcely noticeable

True Story of the Mine Which Has
 Stockholders Here.

Stockholders Here.
 The Commercial Bulletin is authori- ty for the following story in connection with the affair of the Cobre Grande Copper company, in which some Wa terbury people are interested:
 On the application to the supreme court made by Axel w Hallenberg, member of the firm of Armstrong, Schriner x Co bankers, to have re- ceiver appointed for the Cobre Grande Copper company. located at Sonora, Mexico, Justice O'Gorman rendered decision yesterday wherein he held that Hallenberg was entitled to the relief sought by him and that the actions or William c. Greene, the majority stock holder in the Cobre Grande Copper company, and his associates have been in violation of Hallenberg's rights as stockholder.
 The affairs of the Cobre Grande Cop per company and the Greene Consoll- dated Copper company have occupied the attention of the Mexican courts and have also been in litigation in Arizona and in New York for some time past. MT Halienberg is owner or  many. He asserts that in October, 1899, Mir Greene, who was at that time di- rector of the Cobre Grande Copper company, and who had formerly own ed mines which are situated in the Canean Mountains, Sonora, Mexico, by pretended order of Mexican judge, written in Spanish, so terrified the American superintendent of the mines, who did not understand Spanish, that he gave up possession of the property, which Greene still retains. Proceed ings were subsequently, instituted, Nil Cruikshank, the plaintiffs attorney said. by the officers of the Cobre | Grande Copper company to regain possession of the mines, and these pro | ceedings were still pending, the most important of them having been begun | in Arizona last November.
 Greene a month later, in order tC bring all the suits pending against hin to an end, bought the majority of the l stock of the Cobre Grande Copper com | pany. had himself elected president o1 l the! corporation, and then had all tho actions in which he and his associates had been involved dismissed, as was al legged. 'sby collusion.'', Counsel saio there was no question as to the finan cial condition of the mines, and th' Cobre Grande Copper company, whicl was originally sold by the defendant | Greene. for $25,0Oo. was now worth a least $2J0.O0O Hallenberg ayerret that he was entitled to recover oye $40,0OO. and that he was entitled t' l have certain stock made good to him
 The application for a receiver wa opposed by Max E. Harby, counsel fo Greene and his fellow directors, win denied the allegations of bad faith ant collision made against Greene and hi associates. Justice 0'Gorman will ap point the receiver when the forma order is submitted to him by Mir Al

BIG TOBACCO CROP.
Farmers of Hampshire County Are
 Rejoicing.

Amherst. Mass, Aug 9.-The farmers of Hampsire county, who are the larg- est raisers of tobacco in the state, will begin in few days to harvest the larg- est crop raised by them for some years.
 Last year was the best year for a long time, but this season will eclipse even that. The acreage is larger, the crop is looking better. and there is every prospect of putting it in the barns in good shape.
 There are fields of thirty acres, and many farmers have from ten to twenty acres. The sum received from q yield of this size represents small fortune to the farmers. The crop has not suf- fered from hail storms or winds. The outlook early in the season was not good, owing to the lateness of the spring. but from the first of July the crop had rapid and fine growth.

KING EDWARD Is
In POOR HEALTH
Much Alarm Is Felt in Great Britain Over
the Rumors Which Originated in Oopen-
hagen About the Kings Health.
1T is ONLY A CASE OF LUMBAGO

London, Oct. 4.-The coincidence Of
the announcement of King Edwards
indisposition with the publication Of
revived rumors, regarding the cancer,
in the newspapers of Copenhagen, from
which city his majesty had just re-
turned and where the secrets of the
British court are more likely to leak
out than elsewhere, is causing some
commotion here, and the fact that the
customary court circular does not ap-
pear in this mornings papers adds to
the uneasy feeling. The story in cir
culation among clubs, purporting to
come from titled members of the late
Queen Victoria's household, is giving
color to the cancer story and saying
that court circles are discussing the
possibility of no coronation next year.

LIFE CONVICT
ATTEMPTS ESCAPE
ShreWd Plan of James Chambers to
Gain Liberty Frustrated by Pen
itentiary Authorities.
WAS AN INGENIOUS SCHEME
The Convict Hid for Two Days ia Cham
ber he Had Made in Brick Smoke
Stack While Building 1t
Last Year.

One of the deepest and shrewdest
schemes to attain liberty that was ever
devised by prisoner was discovered by
the pententiary authorities yesterday
afternoon, and again goes to prove that
Superintendent Bursum has the right
men around him, for never since he has
been Superintendent has any one but a
'strusty" effected his escape and nearly
all of these have been returned to the
prison.
James Chambers, sentenced by Judge
McFie to life imprisonment from San
Miguel county on the United States side
of the court. for highway robbery, is a
brick layer by trade, and for the last
ear has been at work building large
new smoke stack. Tuesday afternoon
he was seen on top of the stack little
after O'Clock p. M, and when the even
ing count was made AT 4:45 he was miss
ing. The prison authorities being GER
tain that he was hidden somewhere in
the yard put on strong extra guard
and instituted a vigorous search which
was kept up the next day, wednesday,
but to no avail. Mr. Garrett, the ctf1-
cent yardmaster, concluded he would
investigate the stack, which he did by
going to the very top some eighty feet
and sounding it all the way down. lie
reported that some places sounded hollow
and as soon as work was over for the
day, Mr.. Garrett, Mr.. Martin and Pedro
Sandoval procured some lanterns and
went to work along the inside OF the
stack, but after digging in several places
without any favorable result quit for the
night and an extra guard was put on to
watch the stack. The search was re-
sumed with renewed effort Thursday
morning and continued until about 3
o'clock D. M, when Chambers was loca-
ted, and dug out.
The stack is about IA feet square at
the base, and hole for the tlucs was
made about 20 feet from the bottom.
The key brick, in the arch of the hue
hole, had been cut to nicety and laid
in so that they could be easily punched
up and out of place. This Chambers
did and replaced the bricks after having
entered. This leads into hole which
runs up to the side of tho stack, nearly
half way round, and here is where he
was found. He had built this place
more than year ago, and was simply
waiting for an auspicious moment in
order to get away. Had this plan worked
surely other would have attempted the
same means of escape. The hole was
large enough for him TO lie in comfort
ABLY. He had can of water and a
small sack Of bread and meat almost in
putrid condition, which he had evident
~ been saving little at time for quite
o while.
Mr.. Martin was seen this morning by
a New Mexican reporter and said: "We
wouldn't have had Chambers get away
for anything in the world

Small Boom at Lake Valley.

Since the visit of John Hayes Ham
mond to the Lake Valley mines, Sierra
county, the citizens of that camp ap-
near to have learned a thing or two
and have located the townsite and the
flats below the townsite as mining
claims. Very little prospecting has
ever been done on the new ground To-
Gated and it may be that few deer
shafts sunk there would reveal an err
ratio spur or stringer from the famous
Bridal Chamber. If not that. then the
shafts might at least furnish gooo
supply of water for the town.
