Mrs. Caroline Williams, of Sill

liams of this city, died last Satur-
day, aged 81 years, one month and
10 days. She was buried on Tues
day. She leaves four sons. She
came to this country from Mich
igan 80 years ago.
Boyd Bros. state that last Sun
day they did an unusually good
business, the receipts for the day
exceeding the average for several
months past by about 80 I3 per
cent. While business for some
time has been fairly good, still the
improvement has been so marked
in the past few days that they are
led to believe it permanent and an
indication that Idaho Springs, as a
whole, will soon be as active as be
fore the labor difficulties of last
spring.
A young son of ]. NJ. Culley
while playing at the family home
in this city a few days ago, fell in
such a manner as to sustain seri-
Gus injury to his head. 1t was
thought for a time that the injury
was but temporary, but as the boy
made such slow progress toward
improvement that physician was
called who decided that the skull
had been slightly fractured. The
patient was taken to a Denver
hospital Monday where he will re-
ceive treatment.

MAYOR SELECTS LIBRARY BOARD.
To further show that Idaho
Springs is in earnest in the Carne-
gle library matter, Mayor Riley
this week appointed the following
to serve with him upon the board
of direction:
Mrs. Geo. Z. McC1elland.
Mrs. Lafayette HanChett.
Mrs. Margaret Robins.
Mrs. John G.. Roberts.
Vim. L. Bush.
Jas. L. Lindsay.
As we announced last week, the
mayor is eX-officio chairman of the
board, and naturally he devoted
much thought to the problem of
selection. 1t will be observed that
the ladies are well represented
in fact, they are in the control.
This we consider speaks well for
His Honor's delicate appreciation
of where honor is due, for the IL
brary of today and the magni6-
cent fruition to follow owes its
creation to them. The self-sacri-
ficing interest of the past will now
be intensified, if possible. In the

While here last Wednesday w.
J. Morgan reported that the Alta
mine in which he is heavily inter
ested at Telluride is now shipping
about $1,000 worth of ore each day.
We acknowledge the receipt of
the Georgetown High School Re
cord, a very creditable production
published by two high school boys
of that place. One of them is a
son of County Judge Crist and
used to live in this city. The
paper is published twice a year
and is devoted entirely to school
matters, as the name indicates.
The cave in the Gem upraise,
which we mentioned last week,
proved worse than the contractors
thought. All this week has been
taken up in emptying the chute,
and at this writing it is not known
how long it will take to catch up
the ground in the breast. Two
bulkheads had to be put in the
ladderway to stay the rock that
had burst through the sides of the
chute and came very nearly crush
ing the life out of one of the work
men. 1t is probable that the great
body of water that caused the mis-
chef may come from a big Chin
ney of ore in the vein.
A petition was circulated this
week and signed by sundry prop
erty owners of Sunnyside calling
upon the city council to condemn
that portion of the Newhouse
property lying east of the Bradley
property and between Wall and
Virginia streets. The object is to
secure an exit east from Wall
street, as that thoroughfare is in
danger of being closed up. While
the signers of the petition, or many
of them, know that the street funds
available are not of sufficient dim
ensions to warrant any great ex-
pense at this time, still they deem
that action in this case should be
taken very soon, as the Newhouse
dump is growing rapidly and en-
croaching upon the tract in quest
ion.
One of the pleasing events of the
season was the surprise party ten

many similar functions, the matter

otherwise ordained, however, for

had arrived a few moments prev

On Tuesday last nine trains of
Endeavorers passed over this div
ision of the c. & S. Fully 2,5oo
tickets were sold in Denver. The.
rush was so great that all freight.
trains were held back and the ex-.
cursionists were given the right of,

zens were at the depot to meet
friends and relatives that had.
taken advantage of the low rates

We see by the Rocky Mountain
News that Nicholas G.. Brauch /
who with his father has been rum
ming a tunnel on Fall river, near
Clear creek, is being sued by his
wife for divorce. The father
Henry Brauch, is joined with the
son in the suit, as Mrs. Brauch is
after an interest in the group fo1
alimony. The Brauchs were mari

young dream was apparently of
short duration. Living in a noun
tain gulch, away from society and
friends did not suit the young
bride, it seems, and differences
arose. Young Brauch has disap1

CAUSE OF FIRES EXPLAINED.
How Spontaneous Combustion May Easily Be the Result of .
 Little Carelessness.

Damp 1ampblack will ignite from the suns rays, according to writer in Cassier's Magazine The same can lard or other animal oil. Lampblack and a little oil or water will under cer- tain conditions ignite spontaneously. Nitric acid and charcoal create spon- taneous combustion. New printers ink on paper when in contactwith a hot steampipe will ignite quickly. Boiled 1inseed oil and turpentine in equal parts on cotton waste will ignite in a few hours under mild heat and will in time create. enough heat to ignite spontane ous1y.
 Bituminous coal should not be stored where it will come in contact with wooden partitions or columns or against warm boiler settings or steam pipes. This coal should not be very deep if it is to be kept in storage for long period. If piled in the base ment of a building it should be shallow and free from moisture and under good ventilation. That, liable to ab- sorb moisture should be burned first. If on fire small quantity of water showered on this kind of coal cokes it upon the top and retards any great supply of water reaching the fire, thus necessitating the overhauling of the pile.
 Iron chips, filings or turnings should not be storedin shop in wooden boxes. The oily waste which is not infrequent- iy thrown among them adds to the danger of fire from this source. The sweepings from the machine shop, if kept on hand, should never be placed over iron shavings. The mass of disin- tegrated iron is enough to incite heat and combustion. Iron and steel ffl- ings and turnings when mixed with oil will ignite spontane ous1y after becom- ing damp. A steampipe against wood will cause the latter to ignite spon- taneously after being carbonized, par ticularly if superheated steam enters the pipe, thus increasing the heat tenn Jerature.

The ball stuck there all right and ''Rossy'' was the hero of the hour. The Meridens played dopy game. The men didn't seem to have any life, and the only reason they didn't make any errors was that the Paper City sluggers put them right into their hands or so far out of reach that there could be no hope of getting them. At the bat they could do nothing at all. One clean hit and three exceedingly scratchy ones are all that can be re corded.

ROMANCE IN VARIED GUrsE.
Definition of the SIuch-Used word x4 Susceptible of a wide
 Diversificatfon.

What is romance? Even the co9s 1oquial use of the term is varied, says Harper's Magazine. When we sau .1you are romancing'' or call anything romantic as distinguished from whasP is real or what is true we mean ones thing, but quite another when we ap-4 ply the term romantic toA natural scenery. And in this application wes mnst distinguish between the effect upon us of that which we call roman-ss tic because of human associations with. certain sights or sounds and that wild-. ness of nature which we call rom antio. because of it's absolute dissociatioR from anything human i,
 Keeping out of mind for the present. the use of the word in artistic and iit4 eraTy criticism, let us try to find what. element of reconcilement. there is ilAl the diversities of colloquial usage.
 :, in all that is generally called romano tic in the eases above mentioned thern Is the. common element of strangenesss We easily revert to what must have been the original sense of the word. in it's connection with those medieval notifications Of the Latin tongue, known as the romance languages. The Saxon or Ce1t would have found his native tongue sufficient for all or. dinary needs, but if he caught the Roman air in any way, by travel or refinement of taste and habit, ha would, to meet the newly developed need, borrow the graces of the Roman speech-that is. he would romance.

 Jockey Thrown from a Motor Gar in

 London. July 11.-While Danny Ma. her, the American Jockey, was return ing to London from the Lingfeld races last evening in one of Lord Carnar. von's motor cars the machine collded at Caterham with another motor ve hicle
 Maher and Lord Carnarvon's chauf- feur were thrown out and badly hurt Both were unconscious when picked up and were taken to Caterham Cot. tage hospital.
 Maher has fracture of the base of the skull. 1t is not known yet wheth- CT or not he is fatally injured. The chauffeur is not expected to live.
 The matron of the hospital, tele- graphing at $50 o'clock last night says that Mahers condition is very serious. A private dispatch says it is doubted that he will live. His mother, who is in Connecticut, has been cat bled for.
 Lord Carnarvon, accompanied by a specialist, went to Caterham last even ing. ''Skeets" Martin, Jockey Cannon and Charles Ballard, Maher's particu- lar friends, have also gone to Cater ham with another. specialist. @
 Maher regained consciousness late at night. A more extended examina- ton of his injuries led the physicians to have hopes of his recovery. They have little hope, however, for the chauffeur.
 Lord Carnarvon's automobile is a fifteen horse power Panhard, capable of making fifty miles an hour. Maher was driving the machine. When near Godstone another automobile, occupied by a man and a woman, approached. Maher turned to the right instead of the left, which is the English rule of the road.
 The cars smashed together, head on, and both were wrecked. The man and woman escaped with few bruises. Maher and the chauffeur were thrown out, landing heavily, and lay as though dead
 Major Sellar and the Honorable Robert Beresford, who were follow ing in another automobile, picked up the jockey and his companion and sped with them to the hospital, seven miles distant.
 This was almost the first time iR q year that Maher had ridden in pc troleum motor. He sold his three cars last fall and bought small electric machine, which runs twelve miles an hour.

 Jerry Connel Reinstated in New Haven Team-Umpires' Salaries In
 creased-Results of Games in All
 Leagues Yesterday.
 New Haven, July 1.-The directors of the Connecticut Base Ball league met in this city last night The game forfeited by Holyoke at MeEiden was put over until the next meeting.
 Bridgeport, Hartford and Meriden di- rectors brought up the HoIyoke case concerning Rube Vickers, claiming that he was farmed to Holyoke from the Brooklyn team, and that all games won by him should be thrown out Hol- yoke claimed that Vickers was given to them outright by Brooklyn, al though there was no written agreement. The vote on the question was a tie, which Chairman Danaher (President Whitlock was absent) dissolved by vot- ing to throw out the games won by Vickers. Holyoke protested that Can avan's proxies for New London and Springfield were Illegal because they were verbal, and they also protested dSdluSL Ibo Volee CdSI Dy hdILS1SSF NCh- nedy of Meriden. claiming that he did not have the right to vote in a direc- tors meeting. The matter was then postponed until the next meeting.
 The directors had intended to pay the league umpires ST a game, $10 for double-headers. and $2 for expenses on rainy days The umpires had sent in a request for $175 a month and this was granted them.
 Last night Reilly brought the matter up again and Springfield was instruct cd to deduct $60 from Hardesty's sal ary and send it to Canavan. The New Haven manager notified the directors that regardless of the action that Springfield may take he will look to the league to reimburse him. The suspen- sion of Jerry Cornell, right-felder of the New Haven team. for assaulting Umpire Dolan, will be raised, The di- rectors voted to instruct President Whitlock to allow the player to return to the game on the ground that he has been sufficiently punished.
 Vickers pitched twelve games for Holycke winning eight and losing four He lost one game to New Lon don and three to New Haven. He won three from Springfield, two from Meri- den and one each from New Haven, Hartford and Bridgeport. With the games he won eliminated from the standing. Holyoke will still lead the league, but with eight less games won. Meriden will rank slightly above Nor wich, and Springfield's tie with Hart ford will be broken. The standing, re- vised according to last nights action, is as follows:

Good Playing in a Scorching Sun Yes
 terday Afternoon.
 New Haven, July 1.-The finals for the amateur golf championship of Con- necticut were played yesterday on the links of the New Haven Country club. The day was the hottest on record for the state tournament. The morning events comprised the first eighteen holes of the thirty-six hole match for the championship between c. H. SeeAey of the Wee Burn club and H. H. Fay Tor, Brooklawn; the first half of the thirty-six hole match for the consola- tion cup between J. s. Jackson of the Arawana club, Middletown, and W. B. Wheeler of the Brooklawn club, Bridgeport; and the semi-ffnals of the foursomes. The morning gallery showed decided inclination to remain on the club house piazzas within easy reach of the magical electric button, but a moderate number of enthusiastic golfers were well repaid for the risk they took of sunstroke by seeing one of the closest and most brilliant matches ever played in Connecticut.
 The card for the first eighteen holes was: Out-Seeley-4 345444
 Taylor-5 5-seeley i
 up.
 In-Seeley-5 54643445

 In the afterr1on play the card was: -Seeley-4 345444
 Taylor-663555535 In-Seeley-4 44734
 Taylor-3 43745
 The finish of the foursomes showed that Fl. M Martin and F. s. Bronson, New Haven, had defeated H. H. Pease and T. B. Hart of New Britain 3 up and to play.
 J. S. Jackson of Middletown won the finals in the consolation, beating W. B.. Wheeler Of Bridgeport 2 up and l to play.
