His remains will be burled in this city. Mr. Cushman was a man of high personal character, of great energy and varied ability. He was at one time one of the editors of the Central City Register, aud was a vigorous writer, especially on mining topics. But with him newspaper work was only a side issue.

He was a miner by profession, and was fond of the active executive duties that it required. He was con nected with the mangement of- several properties In Gilpin and Clear Creek counties, and was at one time the manager of the Caribou mine, in Hon' der county, when it was one of the Bieat producing bonanzas of the state In 1876, jjst prior to his departure, foi the Black Hills, in connection with J.

His career was ono long service and much hard fighting, and his advancement had been won invariably his merit.

As an Indian lighter he was without a superior. To lawton belongs the credit of hunting the outlawed Cleronimo and making him captive.

Called to the front at the opening of the Cuban war, he again distinguished himself, and it was the dash and steadiness of hlb biigade which carried the enemy's woks at El Caney. His service in the Philippines had itlread heightened the popular esteem and admiration for Ibis ardent fighter. I'ndoubtedly the lessons the Filipinos have had were lecelved at bis hands, and there is reason to believe that, If left free to follow his own plans of campaign, be would have brought the war by this lime much nearer Its close. Ills death at this time, when he was about to receive his promotion to the rank of brigadier general of the regular army and while he still had eight years of active service before htm, is doubly pathetic. His memory will endure the annuls of the army as that of an absolutely fearless and tireless soldier an indomitable fighter and a mill tary leader of genius.

He had no su perior among the generals In the service at the time of his death, and, in some respects, no equal. The rate combination of pluck and Judgment which he possessed marked him as the best type of American soldier.

H. WHO MADE IT? The second burning of the old frame building known as the Gem theatre, kaa brought out the usual amount of moralizing about the "wicked place'' and the great number of men and wo-women who have been dragged down to hell. The fact is that Deadwood ow and always has had worse places than ihe Gem theatre. The Gem was jast what the patrons made it no worse, no better. Everyone who went there knew just what kind of a place It was.

They knew or soon learned it was necessary to employ the best specially talent in the country in order to draw. ThcBe "artists" were muny ot them men and women of national reputation, far above the people who travel with legitimate companies, la point of ability, intelligence and refinement The patrons of the place could pay 25c admission to the par- auette and hear a first class entertainment without further cost or molestation. Boys and girls were in uttend ance to execute orders for drlnkB or clears, but the patron could order or leave it alone. The price of admission apstalrs was usually 50 cents, and 1 man could sit in the balcony or in a private box. In addition to the salary paid, the female artists were given per cent on the sales of wine.

They were usually attractive girls, good entertainers and often induced men spend more money than they could afford, but it was done openly. There weic no hold-ups or pockets picked. Many of the girls supported aged mothers or younger sisters and others were accumulating property. With I hem it was a business and they took to the variety because there was money In it. There were a few instances of drunken men being robbed b.u tho manager was not responsible for it, or did he share in the spoils.

The tal-aot was, as a whole, do more depraved than those with the legitimate bows, but the latter are required to on their good behavior. True, It was bad enough, but never 4 One 12-H. P. Firebox boiler. One 10 H.
