A TOUCHING SToRY- A story comes from St. Petersburgh which is pretty enough to bear repeating. Not long since govern ment functionary died in utter Restitution, leaving without friends or relations two small children, one of whom was a boy about seven years old. Alone, moneyless foodless, with his little sister crying foI bread, he wrote on piece ofpaper as last resort the petition "Please, tod, send me three copacks to buy my Ii tie sister a roll. 7 This he carried tO the nearest church tC drop it into an aims box and start it on its way to heaven. X passing priest seeing him trying to put ihe paper in the box took il anu read it, wher, unon he carried the children to his house, fed them and cIotbed them. The next Sunday he preached d sermon on charity in which he alluded tc the incident. The collection that followed amounted to nearly thousand dollars

A PROPOSED MONUMENT TO GENERAL AsHINGToN.-Probably one of the oldest societies in the country is that of the CIn- cinnati. It was formeu shortly after the Revolutionary war and General George Washington was Its first President. On his death the members of the society resolved to honor their illustrious chief by a suitable monument, and in the year 1910 sub scripti0n for that purpose was started in the Pennsylvania branch of the general so- ciety. Though thus early planned the pro- ject has not yet been realized, but II Is cx- pected, however, that work will shortly be commenced. Several well-known artists, both in this country and in Europe, are preparing designs for the proposed monu ment, and Thomas Ball, the sculptor, now in Rome, has sent tn the trustees of the s0- ciety in this city photographs of his design, which are expected to arrive in few days. The funds are safely deoosited and The amount now in the possession of the State Society aggregates nearly $l30,000. The site of the mOnuInent will be m thIs city, probably in Fairmount Park.-Philadelphia Ledger.

SUMMONS

In the District Court of the Third Judicial District Ter

From Tuesdays Daily.

THERE is a marked movement among the legal fraternity, and they may be said to have been pretty well routed from their former quarters on Congress street. Although pOpularly supposed to be very grasping and well-to-do profession, it is nevertheless true that lawyers can not stand the high rents which other branches of business can readily pay. In fact, the want of an upstairs to this town is an embarrassment to the fraternity, for they are accustomed to inhabit the upper chambers. We note of late the removal of Messrs Stanford & Earl to Mesilla street; Farley & Pomroy, to the corner of Meyers and Pennington streets; Mr Buell., to Meyers street, opposite the Palace Hotel; MT. Price, to Goldtree's building, upper Congress street, and MT. Stiles, to the corner of Pennington and Warner streets, oppo- site the Cosmopolitan.
 MARSH & DRIscoLL, of the Palace Hotel, are again improving. They broke ground this morning for an eX- tension of the dining room, and the of flee and billiard room westward across the court so as to nearly double their present size. And they also cOntem plate building a second story for rooms to correspond with the front portion of the house. This change is made purely because the increased patron age of the house demands it, and the proprietors always stand ready to meet demands of that sort.
 SAMANIEGO's train will leave for Casa Grande tomorrow with 15,000 pounds of wool from Lord & Will iams'.

4 Mde-uWake Grand Jury.

The Maricopa Grand Jury has made its report, and has been dismissed. The report was a stinger. It says that an examination of the books and accounts of the Board of Supervisors shows them to be in state of crimin- al neglect and confusion; showing no system whatever, but a general license to the Clerk to do as he pleased. War rants have been drawn without regard to special funds, and nobody knows for what the money has gone. The county debt is estimated at $1OO,000
