Two Little stories of corot.

We have any number Of anecdotes
about Corot. There is one which ex-
plains the artistic mind He had re-
ported to his employer how success
fully he had sold quantity Of beauti-
full Lyons silks, and he expected some
acknowledgment. On the contrary, the
draper explained to him that there was
no merit in disposing Of excellent goods,
as the real merit was to sell what was
bad, whereupon Corot perceived that
this was exactly what an artist cannot
do, and he decided to quit commerce.
He obtained his fathers consent for
his career as painter on what was to
him large annuity of $500.
He was over thirty years old when
he first began to paint, on the very
day that his father freed him. He
used to show that first picture of his
to his friends, saying: "It is as young
as ever. 1t marks the hour and the

ished to see craven on a tombstone a
list Of feminine names as follows:
Mary L., Elizabeth, Mary IL, Anne,
Katharine l., Katharine II.
Goodness graciousl' exclaimed he
to an old sexton who was digging a
grave not far off. 81 wasn't aware
there were any queens buried in this
part of the country, least Of all in such
an outlying place as this"
"No more there amt as knows on"
replied the old fellow, scarcely looking
up from his work.
"Well, then, in that case" queried
the still surprised tourist, chow comes
1t that the names of several well
Known British queens are to be read
on that stone yonder?"
''Ah, see noww quoth the old grave
digger as he raised himself up and
glanced for a moment in the direction
referred to- Lots of your sort make
that mistake; but, bless your soul,
they bain't no queens of England.

FOLLOWED HER MOTHER
Miss ciiicIa MliIilan, Whose Mother Died .
 Week A4o, Succumbs to the Same Disease.

Miss Cilicia E. Milligan, died at the home of her brother, Dr. M. M. Milli- gan, on Grand avenue, at 2 o'clock this morning, death being due to an attack of pneumonia, the disease which caused her mothers death just a week ago.
 Deceased was born in Pinckneyville, Ill.,, May 9th, 1852 and spent her girl hood days there, going from there to St. Louis with her family where she remained four years, thence going to Galena, Kans. From there she came to this city in 1884 with her mother. In 1886 she was appointed postmis- tress by President Cleveland, making very capable public official and con- ducting the office to the satisfaction of everyone. A devoted daughter, her time since retiring from the postoffice was devoted to the care of her aged mother, and it was constant, ar duous, and loving care which she gave her mother that contributed to her own death. Mysterious, indeed, are the ways of the great Reaper-an aged mother followed to the grave in one short week by the one who was so de- votedly attached to her.
 There were with her when she died her three brothers, Dr. Milligan, J. c. Milligan, of Flagstaff, and w. M. Milligan, the last two of whom were called here to attend the bedside of the mother and who remained to watch at the bedside of the sister who was taken seriously i'll the night her moth- CT died, and who was too i'll to attend the funeral.
 The funeral services will be held at the residence of Dr. Milligan on Grand avenue, tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock and will be conducted by Rev. Moran Skinner. Vegas N. M., Optic, January '.

The Marion Green Concert.

Mr.. Marion Green and the members
of his concert company were greeted
by a good sized house at the Grand
opera house on Friday evening, and
all were delighted with the concert.
Mr.. Green's former friends here were
agreeably surprised in his beautiful
voice, the rare sympathetic quality
and wide range of which. accompanied
by his splendid stage appearance, won
for him immediate admiration, and
his accurate and mastery rendition of
the difficult masterpieces showed the
careful training he has undergone.
Mrs. Geist was favorite as a soprano,
and was compelled to respond to
hearty encores. She has a beautiful
voice and captivating style. Mr..
Lagen's sweet tenor at once caught
the audience, and he was called out
again to the delight of all. Miss
Mueller won added laurels for herself
with her accompanying, as well as
with splendid Interpretation of a
difficult piano solo, which was en-
cored. In fact, each member acquit-
ted themselves creditably, and the
audience was charmed with the entire
program.
