GIROUX MINE
MANAGEMENT CONDEMNED

An Ely dispatch says that the
coroncr's jury, impaneled.t to- inquire
into the cause Of the death of Ed.
Walsh, M. r. Foley and Dan Drae,
three Of the miners in the Giroux
shaft, who persisted in the mine
fires have returned a verdict that
they came to their death through
inhalation Of fire, smoke and gases
on the twenty-tnird day Of August,
1911.
The jury did not state the cause
of these deadly vapors. but it
found that the Giroux Consolidated
Mines company had been extremely
negligent in caring for the safety
and welfare of its emp. oycs.
Another verdict was found in
the matter Of the death Of John
Wilhclmy, Timothy Gilmore and
Tom Odalovch in the Alpha shaft
of the Giroux Consolidated on the
same day. 1t was practically the
same as the preceding verdict

SILVER WEDDING PARTY

The home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Willis Was the scene last
evening of very enjoyable
surprise party. September
fifteenth was the twenty-fifth
anniversary of the marriage of
Mr.. and Mrs. Willis, and twenty
Of their friends joined together
to make the event one to be
remembered by our highly
respected commissioner and his
most estimate wife. The party
took the Wills hume entirely by
surprise early in the evening and
until late hour, pleasure reigned
supreme. A person is no older
than he feels and in this case all
present entered into the spirit of
the event Of appropriate com.
moration of the happiest time in
the lives of two of Elko's most
popular people.
The company played viii and five
hundred after which refreshments
were served. Judge +. j. l.. Tabcr
then presented Mr.. and Mrs. Willis
with beautiful set of hammered
silver spoons. the gift of the
CUES S, and Mr.. Willis with very
pretty smoking set, the gift of Mr..
and Mrs. Abe HessOn.
During the evening the anouncc-
ment Of the Willis wedding as il
was published in the Sonoma Index.
Tribune was read aloud. Miss
Gertrude Enos was the daughter
Of Senator EnOs of California, and
was very p ppiuar young lady as
was evident from the attention
shown her at the time of her
wedding to William Willis. 1t is
seldom that one reads a list of
more carefully selected presents
than were given to this couple by
their friends, ans it must he much
satisfaction to them to know that
their friends are no less numerous
now in their present surroundi' gs
that they were a quarter century
ago.
At the close Of the vrey pleasant
evening, each guets warmly con-
graduated Mr.. Willis and his
prou wife and expressed their
sincerest wishes for many years
Of continued happiness for the
genial friends.

SHE SNUBBEO MONROE

A striking incident in the later
life of Mrs. Alexander Hamilton,
who survived her husband fifty
years is told in the words of an
eyewitness in Allan McLans
Hamilton's Intimate Life Of Alex-
ander Hamilton"
Mrs. Hamilton could never for
get the behavior of Monroe when
he with Muhlenberg and Venables,
accused Hamilton of financial
irregularities at the time of the
Reynolds incident. Many years
afterward when they were both
aged people Monroe visited her,
and an interview occurred which
was witnessed by a nephew, uho
was then lad of fifteen. 81
had he says "been sent to call
upon my aunt Hamilton one after
noon. found her in her garden
ard was there with her talking
when a maidservant came from
the house with card. 1t was the
card of James Monroe. She read
the name and stood holding the
card. much perturbed. Her
voice sank. and she spoke very low
as she always did when she was
angry. What has that man come
to see me for?" escaped from her.
why, Aunt Hamilton said |
don't you know it's Mr.. Monroe,
and he's heen president and he is,
visiting here now in the neighbor-
hood and has beeh very much
made of and visited everywhere
and so suppose he has come to
call and pay his respects to you"
After q moments hesitation Il
will see him. she said.
1.-The maid went back to the
house. My aunt followed, walking
rapidly, | after her. AS she
entered the parlur Monroe rose.
She stood in the middle of the
room facing him. She did not ask
hi u to sit down. He bowed and,
addressing her formally. made her
rather set speech-that it was
many years since they had met,
that the lapse of time brought it's
softening influences, that they
both were nearing the grave,
when past differences could be
forgiven and forgotten-in short,
from his point of view a very nice,
conciliatOry, we'll turned little
sp't ch. She answered still stand.
ing and looking at him: Mr..
Monroe, if you have come to tell
me that you repent, that you are
sorry, very sorry, for the mis-.
representations and the ISLANDERS
and the stories you circu lated
against my dear husband-if you
have come to say this, under.
stand it. But otherwise no lapse
OF time, no nearness to the grave,
makes any difference. She stopped
speaking. Monroe turned, took up
his hat and left the ROOM"
In this connection it may be said
that the oft repeated story of the
meeting of Mrs. Hamilton ard
Aaon Burr many years later on an
Albany steamboat is a fiction, but
it was probable suggested by the
Monroe incident.

APPEALS FOR CONsUMPTIvE.
Anti-Tu berculosis Society to Aid

Anti-TubercuIosis Society to Aid
Aged Woman in Sanatorium.
The committee on special relief of the
Association for the Prevention of Tuber
culosis is asking for funds to help sup
port a tuberculosis patient, an elderly
woman. at a sanatorium. The only near
relative is daughter, under twenty years
OF age. who is working and doing all
she can TO make the last years of her
mothers life as comfortable possible.
Out OF a meager salary of less than so
month she gives nearly half toward
her mothers expenses, and refuses to
consider her own comfort. if only her
mother may be made happy. Moved by
the daughters devotion, the committee
has tried to help her in the burden which
she has voluntarily assumed. and has de-
cided to appeal to the generous citizens
OF Washington.
All contributions for the special patient
and also for the Association for the Pre-
vention Of tuberculosis should be sent to
| the secretary. at 923 II street northwest.
| Out OF an estimated budget OF S6.l23 for
the work Of the Association for the Pre-
vention of tuberculosis, S2,9i5.50 is still
needed.

WOMEN WELCOME
MIRRORS ON CARS
Easy Now for Milady to Fix
Her Headgear.

In order to test the several devices
being used to prevent street car acci-
dents, the Washington Railway and Elec-
tric Company recently installed on a
number of the P. A. Y. E. cars plat
form mirrors to enable conductors to see
passengers to be picked up before start
ing the car.
The presence of these mirrors on the
platforms has been welcomed by women
as being put there for their special ben
eft, it being easy now for them to fix
their headgear. The mirrors also serve
to allow the brushing up of the stray
locks that March winds pull out of place.
That the male passengers are opposed
to the use of the glasses is evidenced by
the fact they are frequently forced to
wait for the women to finish their inns
