NEARER, my God, TO Thee. ,,

Inns language Is the heart -utterance
of Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams, who was
born in Cambridge, England, in Febrtt.
AIRY, 1905, and whose history has been
but very slightly known to the great
public, who have cherished her HYMNS
as one of their most sacred treasures
for nearly half a century. Her father
was the editor of a weekly Cambridge
paper. Her mother wa a woman of fine
gifts and culture, and she herself was
the Youngest child. She was noted in
carly life for the taste she manifested in
Literature, and in maturer years for great
zeal m earnestness in her religious life.
She contributed prose and verse to the
periodicals of the day, and her art crit
cisms were valued. Married at an early
age, and of frail constitution, she still,
amid many bodily ~sufferings, kept her
pen busy, her thoughts and writings al
ways tending upwards. At what time
and amind what circumstances she
caught the inspiration from which was
evolved that wonderful hymn which has
ever since echoed round and round the
globe, is not known but it was proba-
bly, during some period of peculiar trial,
when her spirit was uplifted through
sorrow almost above its earthly body.
She little dreamed that her hymn, like
those of Toplady, Charlotte Elliott and
Ray Palmer, would be heard through
the ages.
1t was first published in 1871, in a
of sacred lyrics issued by a Mr..
Fox, of England, just eight years before
death of the gifted authoress, who
only lived to the age of A, and thus
never knew the fame which was to at
Lach to her hymn and her name.
The hymn soon began to appear in
various collections, and was everywhere
received with delight. It was given the
.une Bethany" which became very

Population Statistics.

The permanent dissemination of pop
ulation statistics is of the first impor-
lance. To aid in this, Mr.. A. Watson,
Of Washington, ID. G., inventor and in
PRODUCER of the stamped newspaper
wrappers, on sale at postollices for
twenty years, proposes that all newspa-
pers keep the population of the cities or
towns whero published standing per-
manently at the editorial head. When
this plan is generally adopted, then
wherever a newspaper is seen the popu-
lation of the city OF town where pub
lishod will be known, which will be of
general use to the public, to all persons
at q distance having business with such
city or town, and also to all newspapers
in their exchanges, AS the population
OF any city or place is the most impor-
tant information, especially for strang-
ers, ii is singular that this has not been
adopted before. For the same purpose,
Mr.. Watson also proposes that the post
Offices at all principal cities and towns
keep the figures Of the population per-
manently standing in the bottom of the
place and date stamp, where there is
of room and then, whenever a
letter or postal card is received, the size
the place will bo known, And the
great advantage of both of these sugges-
tions is that they will cost nothing,
while they will be of universal utility.

A Splendid Illumination and Successful Cels- bration of the Seventy-6rst Anniversary of Mexican Independence.

The celebration of the anniversary of Mexican independence began on Thurs day night by the illumination of the stores and residences Of most of the Mexican citizens of Tucson, and various great and small salutes, ranging from the ringing anvil firing to the frecracker fusilade. The morning of the I6th was ushered in with music and the national salute.
 The ceremonies of the occasion took place at the Park last evening. The grounds were densely packed with peO- pie at an early hour, and every available seat on the grounds was occupied long before the exercises began. The Park was lighted with numerous Chinese lan- terms Tn addition to the usual torches, and occasional red, white and green lights added to the picturesque appear ance of the place.

Hughes, Santiago Ainsa, His EIcellency, J. J. Gosper. Acting Governor of Arizona, Sheriff R. II. Paul, Mir. A. J. Hancock. Professor RiOr- dan, F. P. Thompson, Councilman Le- win, Dr. Del AmO, Mir.

Andrade, who were Miss CarrillO, Miss Hancock, Miss Fereda, the Misses AlcalOr, the Misses Amado, Mrs. Ainsa, little Miss Ortez and others.
 The Act of the Independence of Mex leo was read by Hon. Vicente Morales, after which Don Carlos l. Velasco deliv- cred a stirring oratiOn, which elicited frequent and loud applause. The na- tio al Mexican hymn was rendered in splendid style by the glee club, and the solos by Miss Hancock and Miss Car rillo were loudly applauded. NIT. l.. c. Hughes made an address in English, and several choice selections of music were rendered by the glee club, after which the pyrOtechnical display at the rear of the Park attracted general attention. it was very successful celebration, and one that will be long remembered as one of the best of the periodical publications of Tucson.

attitude of an object makes in the makeup of a photograph. If you saw her on the street you would not notice her. She Is insignificant looking and not at all pretty, and Is the last one in the world one would suppose to be a professional sitter. But she is, and she goes everywhere. She Is not paid now for her sittings. She used to be, it Is true, but Tn very small sums. She snow given certain number of pictures, and she derives an income from the sale of them. She makes up extremely well, and Is fair object. She Is becoming passe now, and Is not nearly as popular as she once was. l couldn't tell you how many BranscOmbes we have sold, but were 1 to tell you the number you would be astOnished. The persons who buy her photographs are youths who hang around the square or sentimental girls who like the pose.
 "The best selling pictures we ever had were those of Fanny Davenport. They sold very rapidly at one time-in fact they do now, but not as formerly. Her features were very handsome, and she took an excellent photograph The greater portion of Fanny DavenpOrt's popularity Is due to her pictures, for there Is no doubt that she was once an extremely beautiful woman. The favor lte of next season will be young act ress, who will appear at one of the thea ters during the coming season. She is tall and beautiful, with exquisitely nodded form and clearly cut features. She Is an English woman, and when she appears she will make a sensation.

MEMORIAL.

To the Senate and House O. Represen- tatives in Congress assembled: Tbe un- dersigned, residents of the Territory of Arizona, i'll view of the present condition and past experience of our people, re- spectfully and most earnestly ask that all the Apache Indians in this Territory and western New Mexico, be removed at the earliest practicable moment to the Indian Territory, and the reservations set apart for them be placed under the direct care and control of the military authorities of the United States.
 We make this urgent request behev- ing that permanent peace and safety cannot be secured to our people under the present system.
 That the frequent alarm, as well as the actual danger to which a portion of our Territory Is exposed, retards immi- grafton and flinders the development of our resources and the prosperity of our people.
 That the reservation system is in this Territory q failure, not only in se- curing peace and a sense of security to our people, but also in securing to the Indian the benefits intended.
 That if the system itself be right, which We do not admit, the character of the country does not favor 1t.
 Agriculture Is not possible without ir- rigation and skilled labor, and only small portions can be irrigated, while mountain canyons furnish secure re- treats for the small bands which will not remain upon tine reservations.
 That the education of the Indian can not be accomplishpd uutil he has learned the peaceful pursuits of agriculture, and becomes accustomed to local habitatiOn.
 That the reservation system m this Territory must for all time continue to be practically q prison system Tn which the Indians are confined, at large eI- pense to the government and without benefit to the Indians.
 And finally, that placing the Indians in the Indian Territory has proved not only a measure of vast economy to the government, but the most humane and beneficial to the Indians of any that has yet been devised.
 Remarks were made by several gen tlemen present upon the feasibility of the removal of the Indians, after which the report of the committee was unani- mously adopted.
 Messrs. W. $. Oury, John Haynes and Geo. H. Bowker were appointed a com mittee to have the report printed in pe- tition form and circulated through the Territory for signatures, and when a sufficient number of names are append ed to hand 1t to Arizona's Delegate for presentation to Congress

Thoroughbreds for Arizona.

Upon the return of MT. H. c. Hooker from the east, the CITIZEN stated that a shipment of thoroughbred cattle would soon follow, for NIT. Rockers Sierra Be- nito Ranch. The Kansas City Commer- clal Indicator of September lst speaks ot Mir. Rockers purchase as follows:
 During the past week u. R. Platt, pro prietor of the Dyke Creek herd" sold and skipped to MT. Hooker, O. Arizona, twenty-One graded Hereford and four thoroughbred Short Horn yearling bulls Among the Short Horns were TWO by the celebrated Oxford Yinewood the Third. (9962 s. R. R. and in all probability the best bred Oxford now living, as there is now standing offer of S7000 for him. There was also one very finely bred ami nal, bred by the Bow Park Association, and got by the Thirty-eighth Duke of Oxford f32,712L This cali has fine, straight Duke tops" Either of these bulls is fit to head almost any herd in America, and in fact there is nothing bet ter outside of the Dukes and Duchesses. Mir. Hooker, the purchaser of the cattle referred to above, IS the pioneer cattle raiser of Arizora, and numbers his cattle by the thousands. He seems to appre- ciate good stock, and judging from this purchase he knew just where to get them. Mir. Hooker IS also very fond of good horses, and has at his ranch 100 brood mares and many of them thor Oughbreds.

TREACHERY FEARED.
The Settlers Along the San Podro Excited Fears
 that Es-Aim-in-zia Means Mischief

From reliable party who went out to the San Pedro at the same time Es-kim- in-zin left Tucson for his home, it is learned that the old chieftain was met about fifteen miles from this city by Q mounted Indian courier, and after a few minutes conversation E.s-kim-in-Zin left his wagons and started with his courier for the San Pedro in hot haste. Relays of fresh horses awaited them at proper points and they pushed through as rapidly as possible. Before reaching his home. he was met by one Of his wives. and they all doubled their speed. The cause of this undue haste has not been developed. but the suspicious ac- tions of the willy old Apache have creat- ed a feeling of uneasiness and alarm among the settlers, most of whom Lave removed their families away from that neighborhoOd. The fact that Es-kim- in-zin has recently made large purchases of arms and ammunition, and that he has about forty able warriors at his con- mand, coupled with various ill-omened actions, lead the people who know him best to keep double vigilance over the Indian developments in his neighbor- hood. They do not feel at all safe, and although they have organized and armed for mutual protection, their various call ings keep them scattered over a large section of country, and some time would elapse after an alarm to collect them for battle.
 These reports must be based upon very apparent facts. for tine feeling that Es-kim-in-zin means treachery and mis- chief is almost unanimous among the farmers and miners along the San Pedro and Gila rivers.
