His wife and mother sent him west to Denver, thinking that perhaps he would brace up here. He began traveling with a fast set here and soon was worse than ever.
His wife made him a visit here to see how her cure was working and when she discovered his condition took the next train back. Several days after her arrival In New York, she died, supposedly from a broken heart. His mother next came out here. After selling the magnificent mansion she brought the children and all his household goods to Denver. Finding her boy in the last stages of drunkenness, she soon tell HI and died, also ot a broken heart.
The children were left without a mother, or anyone to care for (hem, and at the order of the Humane society were placed in the Denver Orphans' home, where they have been ever since. Last night in front of his home, 37 West Ellsworth avenue, Mr. Coffee waa arrested on a complaint charging htm with failing to support his children. When arrested he was nearly dead drunk and had to be carried into the patrol. The Humane society preferred the complaint because Coffee has an income or more than $500 a month and does not give one cent of it toward the support of his children.
All is spent for liquor. When his mother died she left Coffee an estate valued at $30,000, and this, combined with his own, gives him enough money to keep his children in some respectable boarding school, instead of an orphans' asylum.

Kans. All kinds of hauling done. I Chicago, June 19. Wilson Mlz-ner and his Mrs. Yerkes-Mlz-ner, are believed to have left Chicago last night or early today, reconciled and happy.
Both are missing. According to the statements of the servants at the Mlzner home, Mrs. Mizner has gone, leaving no word of her whereabouts. Clerks at the Auditorium hotel, where Mizner stopped during his brief stay in Chicago, were equally ignorant as to his movements since he dropped out of sight. Mizner arrived in Chicago yesterday and registered at the Auditorium hotel.
Mrs. Mizner has been here several weeks at her home on Michigan avenue. Both disappeared at the same time. Mizner, when asked what his destination was, said with great solemnity: Mizner's latest appearance in Chicago has every appearance of a Lochinvar spectacle, and his acquaintances declare that they would not be surprised to learn that he had gone to the Yerkes home and carried his wealthy bride off bodily and sped eastward or westward with her In real frontier fashion.

An interesting case has been decided by the Commercial court. The judge had to determine whether a girl employed as a clerk in a dry goods store could go to work exhaling an odorf' perfume. An employer who has a large store in the Landsberger-srasse discharged one of the girls because, despite his warnings, she persisted in appearing at the store in a sweetly scented condition. He declared that her mania for perfume was great that the odor permeated the whole establishment Not only were the other employes inconvenienced, but customers refused to be served by the young woman. The girl, who brought an action for wrongful dismissal, maintained that she only now and then used perfume.
For instance, when sne went, to the theater she would put a tew drops on her handkerchief and her blouse. She contended that the perfume was not disagreeable, but on the contrary It waa a flne extract. In order to substantiate this assertion she put a small bottle of the per fume in evidence. Some twenty of the girl's follow clerks gave testimony and the judge ruled in her favor, finding her employer and giving her $75 damages. by nearly everybody in Leavenworth and was popular among bis acquaintances.
