a ew Thing.

Miss Helen NJ. Todd of Orwell, this
county, has Just received through her
attorney, A, +. Glascock of Washington,
d. c., letters patent for her improved
skirt or train litter.
The object of this invention is to pro-
vide device adapted to raise and drop
the back and side breadths of women's
skirts without the necessity of using
the hand on the side breadths, thus
raising the dress above the dirt of the
street without undue exposure and
avoiding the Objectionable features in
cidental to using the hand for holding
the skirt up, and at the same time leav-
ing the hands of the wearer free,
The invention consists primarily of "A
wire frame adapted to be attached to
the back of the skirt. said frame having
suitable loops, through which pass tapes
or cords. the upper ends of the tapes or
cords either passing around the waist
of the wearer. or adapted to be tied to-
gether i'll the front of the waist The
lower ends of the said tapes or cords
support "A second set of cords which are
attached AT their lower ends to the
lower portions of the skirt.
1t will thus be seen that when it
is desired to raise the skirt, the wearer
grasps the cord at the waist. and by
giving it a pull elevates the lower edge
of the skirt. The cord can be tied and
the skirt will be held in its elevated posi-
ton. The device is light and simple
and does not in any way interfere with
the comfort or movement of the wearer,
and it can be applied to any dress in IA
few seconds.

DEATH ENDS DEsAUcH
Hiram, Coles Drank to Excess on Ac,
 count of Troubles


 After a debauch of about three weeks, during which he has taken but little nourishment in the way of food, Hiram Coles died yesterday forenoon about S:30 o'clock He came to his death in bed in lodging house. where he had been taken about three hours before by friends.
 The deceased is well known in this city. At odd times he has been em- ployed in the gambling houses. For the past three weeks he has done lit tie but drink. He is also known in the San Juan country.
 Coles recently lost a son. This preyed on his mind to such an extent that he tried to drown his sorrows in drink. Friends who saw him on the down grade tried to rescue him but he refused to listen to their advice.
 When found dead yesterday morn ing, an inquest was ordered by Cor oner Mcdonald. The verdict of the jury was th4t the deceased came to his death through excessive drinking
 The deceased was a member of the Knights of Pythias. His remains are now at the International Undertaking pariors, awaiting the advices from 8 son in Colorado. He will be commun icated with today

THOSE PEST HOUSE EXPENSES

County Ready to Pay its Share When
 Legal Bill is Presented
 This county has no desire to shirk it's share Of the expenses of the Bis pee pest house, which was kept up turing the small pox epidemic several months ago." said J. J. Bowen, chair man Of the board of supervisors yes -erday.
 The matter was brought up at the meeting of the city council last Mon day evening. and resulted In a warm argument between the supervisor and members of the council.
 The fact developed that Reay and York, members of the old supervisors, made 8 verbal agreement with the the then city council of Bisbee, where by the county was to pay for all pa tients who were cared for here, and who had come to the city from some outside point.
 At the meeting Monday night City Attorney Miller stated several times that he is not and never will be able to present legal bill for the amount due. All he can do is to depend on the supervisors to make some kind of an equitable settlement.
 'l see no reason why the superTis- ors are any better able to tell than the city of Bisbee how much should be paid. The city has what little | little data there is, and if is not in a position to arrive at some kind of an estimate, why should we be any bet ter able without even that small amount of data at our service" re- marked Supervisor Bowen. ! He stated afterward that he thought ! the matter will be settled to the sat I isfactiol of all concerned. If the | city is granted a portion of the bill l it will probably mean about $2OO for the municipal treasury. Marsh al Henderson has sufficient data at his | command to make out a legal bill.

Olympia Opera Company Has Made
 Hit in Bisbee
 It is the impression of those who have attended the two performances of the Olympia Opera company that Bisbee has not in many a day had such an excellent company at the opera house.
 Monday evening everybody went away satisfied. Those who were seen after the show, were either still laughing or praising the chorus of pretty girls, who entertained them.
 Edward Eagleton, the comedian, can always have his way with a Bis. bee audience. He combines the art of fun making with a refinement that is refreshing. All of those who saw him in Said Pasha" say that he can make even deaf man laugh.
 It is interesting to note the i'm pressions of Bisbee that are gathered by theatrical people in our midst This is what Miss Lottie Kendall has to say:
 T wish I could stay in Bisbee all the time. 1t is a novel experience tC me to be in a metropolitan city that is supported by mines. Most people think that mining camps are rough and without culture, but have found that the people of Bisbee are much better of intellectually than many other cities that make more preten sions.
 T know how hard it is to please people, and I hope that we will not disappoint the audiences in this city This week We are putting forth oul very best effort. It is our first ap pearance in Bisbee and We do no want to go away leaving the people dissatisfied
 Miss Kendall is a winsome little lady, and all who have seen her or the stage declare that she never feal but that Bisbee has a, warm place il | its heart for her.
