TAXES ID BE REM|TTED IN BURNED DISTRICT
County Supervisors Decide Sufferers by Fire Need
 Not Pay Taxes.

County Assessor Charles R. Hcwe is expected to arrive in Bisbee the first part of the coming week to go over the burned area of this city and check up the houses that were burned with a view of having the assessments that were made against the property strick- en from the rolls. This matter was decided upon by the members of the Board of Supervisors at their recent meeting. The Board of Supervisors could have let the assessment stand ' and it would have been a lien against the lots or any other property that tht property owner might have had. bui with the ruling of the Board the un fortunate owners win now be saved that expense of paying the taxes.
 While a technical view of the law would have justified the Board in al flowing the old assessments to stand a sense of justice forbids that the sui
 ferers by the fire shall pay tAxes ol property which they dc not now own land it was on this construction of thl law that 1t has been decided to remi
 the taxes on burned property.

tragical unhappiness of the ThaWs,
the Coreys, and the Hartjes, and Ger
tainly no other cases have caused
greater distress to Cupid, the deity
of all true lovers. 1t would seem that
the CLEAN of suddenly acquired mil
lions, as seen through the smoky at
mosphere of Pittsburg, is sufficient to
blind the eyes of love.
William E. Corey was ruined by Mr..
Carnegie, so Mr.. Corey's uncle is re-
ported to have said. This was be-
cause Mr.. Carnegie put Mr.. Corey IN
the way of becoming rich. The head
of the great steel trust, looking for
pleasure and thrills" in the byWays
of life, found only unhappiness. AS
the familiar saying goes, he couldn't
stand prosperity" All the world is
familiar with the story of Mr.. Corey's
spectacular rise in the world OF IL
nance and of the alleged ~escapades
which caused his wife to leave him.
She obtained a divorce last summer
after living in the state of Nevada
long enough to acquire citizenship
under the liberal laws of that state.
In her bill she charged her husband
with desertion, but it generally was
understood that the family happiness
was wrecked by Mr.. Corey's public at
tentions to Mabelle Gilman, an act
ress.
The Hartje case of Pittsburg made
the whole country gasp, 1t involved
grave charges against Mrs. Hartle
and her coachman and counter
charges On the part Of the wife thai
she was the victim of a conspiracy
in which her husband-the mar she
had loved and with whom she hac
liv~ed-sought to blast her reputation
by hired and perjured testimony. Thl'
was one of the most notorious domes
tic tragedies ever aired in any cour
of any land. 1t was worse ever thai
the Tagagrt case. Alone it was enough
ia make the year memorable in thu
matter of divorce.
In contrast with this the trouble o
Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes and Wilson
Miner were almost farcical. MI
Yerkes, the traction magnate, die
in New York in December last unde
circumstances that called the after
ton of the whole world to his widow
Although they had not been living tt
gether tremendously during the late
a of his life, Mrs. Yerkes declare
that her husband had never cease
to love her, and that she was devote
to his memory.

Chicago.-Surely New Years day
must have been the saddest that Gu
pid ever has spent. When the little
god balances his books for 1906 he
will be compelled to sit down and
weep, for the list of the matrimonial
wrecks of the year shows an awful
number of disasters. There have
been enough domestic jars to shake
the continent worse than the earth
quake shook San Francisco, if they all
had occurred at one instant. The
tears that have been shed would make
a salty sea if they could be collected
in the desert basin of Sahara.
Indeed, it has been a bad year for
Cupid. Divorces have been more
numerous than in any other twelve
months since marriage became an IN
stitution. Princes, dukes, counts,
statesmen, magnates, and millionaires,
butchers, doctors, grocers, lawyers,
and laborers have come to grief in
their love affairs.
In the good old days people married
and lived happily ever after" Now
the problem Of the novel begins in,
stead of ending at the altar. People
get married and then get divorced.
Chicago still leads the world in di
vorce population, and perhaps In the
facility with which divorce is grant

or desertion and tells the story to the
court in a business-like way. The
uniformed stranger, strolling into
the courtroom, easily might think the
dispute was over a grocery bill or a
ruined gown, rather than a ruined
life. The law says she may have a
divorce, and she proposes to get It,
That is all. If her husband has a
good position or a bit of property, she
asks for alimony. The struggle for
some form of maintenance sometimes
becomes strenuous, showing that the
woman regrets the loss of the man
who has been her support rather more
than the loss of the man who has
been her husband.
All this is like a comic opera, but it
makes Cupid weep. He has been tell
ing the world for thousands of years
that marriage is a sacred institution,
and now he first discovers that it is
