DESERTED VILLAGE.
Few Landmarks Left in Once Pros
porous Mining Town.

Tombstone, Ariz., July 25.-The
Bird Caae opera house, the Can-Can
restaurant, the Red Light saloon anG
the Tucson stage office remain as rel
les Of Tombstone's one time glory as
a mining camp but are now occu-
pied by bats and are slowly falling
into decay.
The Bird Cage opera house was the
most famous in the territory. 1t is d
rambling, two-story structure with the
glass in the rough board front broken
by the elements. A long bar occu-
pies one end of the building while the
piano players raised platform faces Ii
at the opposite end. 1t was on this
platform that the famous sign hung
which read: do not shoot the piano
player. He is doing the best he can.
A gallery extends around three sides
Of the opera house and the stage oc-
cupies the fourth side On this stage
the most famous variety performers
from San Francisco appeared in the
old days Autographs announcing
thel, coming still hang on the walls
of the opera house, the ink still bright
upon them. A dumb waiter CT ecfs
the bar with the gallery above =
drinks were served at tables placed
in each of the little rooms which open
onto the big dancing floor. Many
killings have occurred in the Bro
Cage and it has been the scene Of a
number of western stories of frontier
life.
At the Can-Can restaurant steaks
once sold for IS each and men waited
in line to be served at the height OF
the Tombstone gold boom. The Red
Light saloon was gambling house
and the discarded roulette and faro
layouts may be seen stacked in the
rear of the big building with its brok-
en- bar and mahogany fixtures. Inc

that the stage from Tucson pulled IN

The threats have, however, had ef-
feet. In Munich, it is reported, th1r-
teen thousand complete suits have
been given up although only 1l,5Oo

Berlin is still hopelessly behind and
many complaints of unfairness are
made about the number of suits re-
uuired from the metropolis, eight
times more than was demanded from
Munich whereas Berlin is only four
times the size of Munich.
Complaints are manifest Of hara-
ships on the lower and middle classes.
Radical newspapers accuse the au-

the wealthy classes.
On the other hand. one of the En-

a good suit with the lining somewhat
damaged but it was refused and he
is now wearing it himself daily.

GERMANY FINDS
NO CHEER FROM
WILSON SPEECH
Huns Look in Vain For Com
forting Word or Place
at Peace Board

Berlin, Dec. THE summary of
the address delivered by President
Wilson before Congress last Monday
which has reached here is presum-
ably inadequate and hence there has
been little comment on it in the
newspapers. Germans seek Na.nIy
for com fort in the message and in
Mr.. Wilson's program, in which it
is supposed that America and the
Allies have pledged themselves that
Germany will have only shadowy
existence at the peace conference.
A large majority of Germans be-
lieve in Pre- sidCnt Wilson's good in
tentions and all their hope are CEN
Gered in him, but there is a general
fear which amounts almost to a
settled belief that he will te unable
to force his program through. The
Neitung Am Mittag says:
1T is almost unimaginable optim-
ism for one to hope that Wilson's
Intervention will mitigate the de-
structive conditions of peace"
Other comment seem to recognize
that President Wilson may not be
the dominating figure that Germans
have expected him to be. Some pa
pers declare he approved of Amer
ica's imperialistic naval policy" and
has failed to check the Entente's
"piratical economic plans"
