Denver Letter to Utica Observer. A tal], fine-looking,well-dressed woman was sitting near the fare-box in a broail-way atreet-car as Ientered it. She liad a high forehead, dark-brown hair, black eyes and remarkably intelligent feathres. A frienct s-at beside her and to him she talked pleasantly. Her tones were low and her English was of the purest. She wasapparently about forty years of ae, and ray i attention was first attracted to her I by the fa't that she had ovorpaid her fare, putting in a dime íor a nickel. I ' made this even by giving her my fan; instead of putting it into the box. As she left the car I leanied she was a woman with a history, and that she was no other than ex-Senator Tabor's first wife - the woman who made his big strike tor him by taking boarders and keopinp! the store which supplied tlie feed for the prospectors who struck the Little Pittsburg mine. This was the woman h-om whom Tabor got his divorce, and it was this woman he left to marry the present Mrs. Tabor, whom he lirst wedded at St. Louis, afterward another marriage ceremony was solemnized at Washington. She does not look like a disappointed woman, and she is by no meaus one of the (rail reeds of the fair sex. I don't think she would have disgraced her husband at Washington, and I find that here at Denver her standing ia very good. She is in good circumstances, the property which Tabor gave her havinglargely increased in value. She is worth at least $500,000 to-day, and she lately sold sixteen lots out of a piece of forty which Taborga ve her for $60,000. She has left twenty-four lots and a heuse upon them that cost $45,000, and she still owns the La Veta property. This last consists of fomteen threestory houses, built in the best nianner, and forming good renting property, worth about $200,000.
