LATEST STYLES
GALLING CARDS.
Marked changes in the style of calling
cards have taken place in the east and
the fashion is rapidly spreading over the
country.
The cards are now rather large and
thick in size, of a delicate pale pink,
green, yellow or blue hue. They are
printed in antique style, very attractive
in appearance.
The News has received a large con
signment of the cards, and is now filling
orders for New Year’s greetings contain
ing any motto or epithet you may de
sire. There is still time to have your
orders filled.

Important If True.
Fairbanks, Dec. 29.—Judge Overfield
lias signed a mandatory order directing
that every man, woman and child in in
terior Alaska buy his, her or its presents
and have all watch repairing done by
tieorge Bemis, the Tanana live jeweler.

LED GAY PACE
UNTIL DEATH

Young Woman Spent $20,000 in
Dizzy, Risque Whirl.
Special to the News.
Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 29.—Mrs. Marga
ret Falcone, aged 21, a member of the
famous Snell family of Chicago, died in
abject poverty here after spending the
last six months in a spectacular round
of merriment costing $20,000.
As she lay on a pauper cot in the hos
pital she gave her last dollar to a little
gill and greeted death with a pitiful
smile on her wan countenance.
Last year Mrs. Falcone became afflict
ed with quick consumption. She came
out here and started in to lead a high
life. When remonstrated with by her
newly-made friends, who were shocked
at her risque conduct, she calmly replied
shi- would soon be dead—dead a long
time.
Her monev began to run low, and re
cently her husband deserted her.
She continued in her glittering spec
tacular whirl, however, but as the fangs
of the grim reaper sank deeper and
deeper, seeking a vital spot, she spent
her money faster and faster until her
funds were completely exhausted.
The young woman died absolutely
penniless, and a subscription was taken
up hereto pay for her burial.
Mrs. Falcone was the daughter of II
A. Snell, Chicago. She was also a rela
tive of Mrs. Grace Snell-Walker-Coflin
Walker-Layman-Lavman-Love, of Los
Angeles, whose matrimonial career has
been the anvy and admiration of Reno
for years.
