Early in 1879 the rush to Leadville began.
There was no railroad to the camp from
Denver. The reckless men and women
who rushed to the new camp had to stage
IT. over the toughest OF mountain roads.
Every pound of produce consumed in the
camp had to be freighted by wagon, and
men who were able 10 resist the lure OF
tho mines made independent fortunes in
this business, as the freight rate was -
cents a pound. Passenger rates were IN
proportion, and the stage proprietoTs waxed
wealthy in carrying the adventure-seeking
thousands TO the new camp As II by
magic, a city of $500 people was born
among the clouds. nearly u,OO0 feet above
sea level. Leadville merits the name, the
Cloud city" which was given it in early
days. Al such an altitude pneumonia is
almost invariably fatal. and soon the death

Job for Widow to Atone for Injustice

death he was survived by a widow
and two daughters.
Maj. Darlington came under the
Jurisdiction of the insular courts as a
result of his transfer for temporary
duty from the Twenty-first infantry
to the command of a battalion of
Filipino scouts. He commanded this
battalion at the time it was brought
to st. Louis in 1903, to take part in
the exposition.
The charges against him were
based on financial operations which
took place at that time. Many of his
brother officers insisted that the diff
ficulties in which he became involved
were the result of carelessness rather
than criminal intent The evidence
against him, however, was sufficient
to cause his court-martial and conse-
quent dismissal from the army. His
conviction by the courts of the islands
was followed by Imprisonment in
Bilabid prison.
During his incarceration, Mrs. Car
rington and her daughters, through
the efforts of influential friends, Sc
cured positions in some of the gov
eminent departments in Washington.
The order issued by the president
places the widow of the convicted of
ticer in the classified service.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch we're used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so. much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great

Cabinet Vetoes "More Daylight" Plan

the president and his advisers that
the welfare Of the clerks and the
business interests of the government
ume of work was concerned, by regu-
lating the hours of labor according to
the rising of the sun, it was found
that the plans which have been ad-
vanced by organized movements in
Cincinnati and other western cities
and are to receive parliamentary con-
sideration in England are not feasible
short of revolution which would dis
turb banking and commercial condi-
lions generally and be widespread in
its effect upon the railroads.
Advantages to be derived by per-
hitting government clerks all over
the country to commence work in the
cool hours of early morning during
the summer season and discontinue
labors in the early afternoon, with
ample opportunity to enjoy the sun
light in daily afternoon vacations, ap-
pealed to the president. However, in
view of the fact that the government
could not compel financial and COM
mercial houses to adjust themselves
to the proposed change, and the
further consideration that the bust
ness of the post Office department
would be vitality affected, entailing a
change of schedules upon all rail
roads, caused the administration to
decide not to attempt to encroach
upon the prerogatives of Father Time
and for the present at least there will
be no change in the daily routine OF
the government clerks.
