Henry Labouchere makes recent is
sue Of London Truth the medium for n
tribute to the American woman. He
says that In the United States woman
enjoys a position which some myth
illogical goddesses might envy. For
all practical purpose she has become a
law unto herself, and for her men work
and worry. almost without ceasing. She
is queen at home and conqueror
abroad. He leaves the question as to
her success as wife and as to her per-
manency on her present pedestal open
for further study. And doubtless when
he has done this he will write another
article giving her the entire wreath of
supremacy and thus making mere man

play .Zaza'' at the Duncan opera
house tonight, arrived from the north
ON No. 1. The company has won a
high reputation for cleverness, and
Miss Roberts in the title role is con

has shone in the theatrical armament
of the west in years.
On one matter. a considerable
crowd which happened to be at the

is agreed no mistake has been made.
Somewhat extravagant praise has
been sounded regarding the attractive
appearance and good looks OF the
feminine portion of the company. AS
the verdict was unanimous that the
ladies' who stepped down from the
train, hungry and travel stained,
were decidedly pretty, it is beyond
question, hat in their elegant cost
umes. favors of nature accumulated
by the skill Of art. they will present
a beautiful appearance before the
footlights tonight. Indications are
that the Duncan will be crowded to-
night. The city is especially favored
in securing the company, as it plays

SUDDEN DEATH.
Frederick Herzog succumbs to Heart
Disease While About His Work.

The news of the sudden death of
Frederick Herzog came as a consider
able shock to the city last night. All
day the gentleman had been engaged
in his work at Ghering's hardware
store, apparently in his usual health.
A little before six he went down into
the basement of the stOre.As he didn l
return, some one went in search Of
him and found the body lying on the
floor. Hastily, a physician was
brought. but the spirit had fed. Ac-
cording to the belief of the physi-
clans, death came almost without
without warning. Just before Mr.. Her.
cog went into the basement. he was
| seized witi a severe coughing spell,
and brough up a little blood. lie re-
( marked that he never had such a
cold before in his life. These were
! probably the last words he ever ut
tered. There has been considerable
| discussion concerning the case among
the physicians. All agree that heart
| failure was the immediate cause, but as
to ~predisposing causes they are not
| so clear. 1t was thought for a time a
| post norton examination would be
| held. but the idea was given III This
| morning. For several months deceas-
ed had been suffering with pains In
| his back, but whether these were
| caused by kidney disease, lumbago
! or muscular rheumatism. was not GER
| tain. 1t is more than likely a compli.
| cation of diseases led up to the sud
den end.
Mr.. and Mrs. Herzog had both been
advised hat a change OF climate
would be beneficial, and they were
arranging their property affairs with
q view of leaving for Roswell to re
main indefinitely.
Deceased was born in Hamburg
Germany. He was Sc years of age. Six
teen years ago he came to Las We
gas, where two years later he was
married. He leaves a heart broker

her home here. MI. HerzOg was a
member of the A. o. U. w. lodge. He
was highly esteemed in the city and

the latter deep sympathy will be felt.
