Trusting Newspaper Subscribers.

People who have subscribed for news
paper will do we'll to bear In mind that the
only way to stop their paper is to pay up
all arrearages and order their paper dis
continued. A paper in Newbaven, Conn.,,
sues a man for forty three dollars for pa
pers furnished. The defendant set up the
plea that be had several times ordered the
paper discontinued, but the Court held
under the laws of the State and of the
State and of the United States publisher
may continue to send his paper until all
deliaquencies are settled mp, and that the
parties to whom the papers are sent are lia-
BILE for all papers so sent. and Judgment
was rendered for the amount and costs.
In conducting certain lines of business it
Is impossible To avoid giving trust TO pa
irons. One of these lines is that of giving
instruction. A. teacher who demands pay
In advance will get no pupils. Another
line is that OF keeping eating house. He
who refuses to allow men to sit at his table
until they have deposited their coin will
fiud h,s victuals untasted. A third line is
that of running country newspaper. No
such enterprise IN any part of the United
Stat can make legitimate living with
out trusting It's patrons. Thousands have
tried it and all have failed. The giving Of
credit can be restricted, but never wholly
cut of. II is weak and dishonest pre-
text to refuse payment for a paper con-
stantly taken because the time for which
1t was ordered has expired and the paper
was afterwards continued by the Publisher.
The law so regards it, and II the publisher
chooses to put his law into execution he
will get bis pay, provided the debtor has
property upon which the Sheriff can levy.

The Name OF Tombstone, Arizona.

What's in name? A good deal We are
told, and how came Tombstone, Arizona,
TO have such name? IL was not borrowed
or stolen from any other place on the globe,
nor ever suggested by novel or gazetteer.
The story goes and It 10 true, that two
young men, brothers, when about to start
from Tucson on q prospecting tour into
the dragon mountains, Sonora, or some
where else, were advised to give up the
undertaking, for IL they persisted, they
would find neither mine nor fortune. but
their ..tombstones instead. The boys
bravely babe good bye TO their friends,
though warned that they would never come
back alive. The prospectors went of and
following "that blind trail already re-
ferred TO, came to this plain and made
their camp. On looking about they saw .
ledge Of ore cropping out several feet, all
marked and rich with precious metals.
9 We have found our tombstone" they
exclaimed, and no other name would do
u designate the camp. The town has
adopted the name, which, II not poetical
or classical, 10 certainly original. A valu-
able tombstone too, IL must be confessed,
for these Scnieffelin brothers recently sold
their half interest In the mine for n, OOO,-
900 to parties In Boston and Pniiadslphia-
Nov that 10 many mines are located IN this
Tombston district, the first discovery ID
known at present ~ " The Tough Nut."

cUsTER's MONUMENT.
a Protest From the Generals Widow
Against Fraud.

A bill has been introduced In the House
for the erection In Washington of q monu
ment TO the memory OF Gen. Custer and
the officers and men Of the Seventh United
States Cavalry who were killed by the Sit
ting Bull band cf Indians IN the fight on
the Little Big Horn River. The bill di.
rects the Secretary OF War to contract with
Wilson Mcdonald, OF New York, for the
erection of the monument, which shall iD-
clude duplicates of the sculptor's eques-
trian and pedestrian figures Of the late
General Custer, and also the liksnesses of
the principal officers ond the names Of the
men who were killed In the battle of the
Llttle Big Horn.
1t seems that the widow OF Gen. Cus,er
is not satisfied with the statue of her hus-
band erected Al the West Point Military
Academy by Wilson Mcdonald, and in .
letter protesting against the passage Of the
bill now pending she says that Mcdonald.
in erecting the West Point statue, did not
consult her or any Of her friends about her
lase husband. Mrs. Custer DOES not object
to the erection of a statue in Washington.
but protests against employing Mr.. Nc
Donald as the sculptor.
Commenting on the Custor monument at
West Point, Mrs. Custer says in a letter to
Representative Daggett, of Nevada:
"The statue could not be worse than 1t
is. The face is Of a man of sixty, and his
dress 10 unmilitary that his brother nffi ,ers
shudder IN looking at it. He is represented
With full dfess coat and top boots, that only
belong to undress uniform. The whole
costume 10 incongruous and ipcerrect.
Thep, he IL armed like adesperado. in both
hands. while some Of the Generals best
charges were made with no fire arms about
him. realize that am the last one on
earth to be satisfied with any representa-
tion Of my husband. Nothing could por-
tray to me in any form my idea Of him.
But his friends in civic life, bis comrades in
the army, and artists all have but one story
to tell-that the statue is failure as q
likeness, as a representation of soldier
and az work of art. You know what in
tense individuality General Custer had :.
His quick movements, his active step, his
riding, the very way he wore his clothes,
were so totally unlike anybody else /; he
could not fail to be well represented II q
man Of genius once tried to represent him.
1t seems as If could not bear the thought
of this wietched statue being repeated, and
hope that your voice may influence those
upon whom the decision rests"
