THE “JEK8EY LILY” HERE JUDGE CROSBY AT REST
MRS, LILLIAN LANGTRY PASSES
THROUGH EL PASO.
While Here She Expreesed the Deep-
est Regret That She Was Unable to
Stop, and Tells of the Reception
Given Her By the People of Langtry,
the Town Which Was Named for
Her.
FUNERAL OF PIONEER CITIZEN
HELD'YESTERDAY.
DIED IN WASHINGTON.
MAJOR CHALMERS PASSES TO
GREAT BEYOND.
Large Number of Old Friends and Ac-
quaintances Pay Their Last Re-
spects to One Identified With the
Early History of This City.
Mrs. Lillian Langtry, now the wife
of Gerald de Bathe, son of Sir Hugo
de Bathe and at one time said to be the
most beautiful woman on the stage
if not in the world, whose sensa-
tional relations with the then Prince
of Wales, now King of England, was
the gossip of the civilized world
twelve years ago, was the guest of
El Paso for several hours yesterday
morning.
Mrs. Langtry is on her way to San
Franciseo in her private car “Topeka
with her company, which will play to
several California cities in the near
future and will join her young hus-
band in San Francisco when she will,
with him. visit the ranch which she
owns in Lake county, California and
rest a while. „ „
Mrs. Langtry arrived on G. H. No. .»
yesterday morning and was held here
for several hours awaiting the repair-
ing of the regular Pullmans on the
train and did not arise until the train
was about ready to start.
When interviewed on her private
car yesterday morning She expressed
the deepest regret that she was unable
to stop off in El Paso and go over into
Mexico. She said that she had heard
so much about El Paso and the prog-
ress that it had made since she was
here twelve years ago, when she play-
ed in “Seen in a Looking Glass.” She
says that at that time the town was
nothing like the city that has sprung
up and she has the keenest curiosity
to see the place, hut her bookings
were all made and in such a mannei
that she would have to play in San
Uornidlno tonight. .
She told in the most enthusiastic
manner of the reception that was ac-
corded her in the town of Langtry
yesterday evening, the 'own which the
famous old Judge Bean named for her
when she made a tormer visit to Texas
and the southwest years-ago. She told
with great interest of her visit to the
"Jersey Lilly'' saloon also named by
the late lamented judge in honor of
her stag ' sobriquet.
While in Langtry the reception that
was tendered her included a visit to
I he school and a reception of the
school children in which one of the
little school girls delivered an ad-
dress of welcome which was respond-
ed to by the great actress in a very
gracious speech in whicli she said
said that she hoped that the next time
that she passed through Langtry that
the Southern Pacific's limited would
stop not because of a special request ,
put because that the town would be
so lug that it would have to pause
Tliis was greeted with an outburst <u
enthusiasm, during which one cow-
boy was so carried away with his
exuberance of feeling that lie em-
braced the famous actress, and attei
emitting several typical whoops shot
off his guns several times, which per-
formance so startled some of the pas-
" sengf-rs that, they made for the train
and could not he induced to come out
for the balance of the reception.
During tier stay in Langtry the 'Jer-
sey Lilly” was given the black bear,
which was the particular pet and groat
pride of old Judge Hoy Bean, who rul-
ed so long as the "Law West ot the
Pecos.". The gift, however, she was
forced to decline on account of the
lack of transportation facilities, but
upon the donor, who was Sam Bean,
the son of the old judge, urging the
gift, she filially accepted and arranged
that, the hear be sent to her England
home. , . .
From the passengers on the tram i
was learned what Mrs. Langtry did
not tell herself, and that is that while
at tlie school house in Langtry sb*
presented to the school children $1""
to tie used toward their education. She
was very enthusiastic over the intelli-
gence displayed hv the children at the
town of her name and says that they
came forward and shook hands with
her without apparently the slightest
shyness or backwardness.
She lef El Paso about 11 o clock,
bound for California.

Yesterday morning the-remains of
one of the most prominent pioneers
of Western Texas were laid to rest
in Concordia cemetery. The funeral
was that of the late Judge Josiah F-
Crosby, who for many years was a
respected citizen of this city.
The funeral took place from the
residence of the deceased on Myrtle
avenue, Dr. G. H. Higgins officiating,
who read the beautiful Episcopal bur-
ial services of the Episcopal church
The courts adjourned out of respect
to the memory of the late judge, and
the bar association, the city, county
and state officials joined the long pro-,
cession that accompanied the body to
the temporary vault which will serve
as its resting place until a more suit-
able tomb can be prepared for its
reception.
The obsequies were also attended
by a large number of sorrowing
friends and representative citizens of
El Paso and vicinity.
The funeral was one of the largest
and most impressive that ever took
place in El Paso. The pall hearers
were chosen from among the lab-
judge's most-intimate friends during
his long residence in this city and
were Charles Richardson, l)r. M. Sam-
aniego, U. F. Campbell, Dr. W. N.
Vilas, Dr. A. L. Justice, C. B. Eddy.
R. C. Lightbody and IS. F. Hammett.
Judge Crosby was not only one of
the pioneers of Western Texas, but
one of its most noted citizens. He
was admitted to the bar in 1848 by a
special act of the legislature remov-
ing his disabilities of minority. He
at once entered into the practice of
law at Brenham and when barely ot
age, was appointed district attorney

Good Qualities of Chamber-
lain’s Cough Remedy
Ashbumham. Ont., April 18,\1903.—-I
think it is only right that 1 shdmld tell
you what a wonderful effect Cniamber-
iain's Cough Remedy has produced.
The day before Easter I was tso dis-
tressed with a cold and cough 1 that I
did not think to be able to taii.e any
duties the next day, as my voiae was
almost choked by the cough. { The
same day I received an order frosn you
for a bottle of your Cough Reineldy- I
at once procured a sample bottle! and
took al>oiit three doses of the medlicine
To my great relief the cough ami cold
had completely disappeared and a was
able to preach three limes on Blaster
Day. I know that this rapid anld ef-
fective cure was due to your Clpugh
Remedy. I make this testimonial lwith
out solicitation, being thankful to i^ave
found such a Godsend remedy.
Respectfully yours.
