\. A. Sargent, family and friends,
passed through Tucson, Arizona, recently,
en- route 10 the east. On their arrival
they were met by number Of citizens,
and we're rendered the freedom of the city
by the Mayor and City Council, which
time prevented them from accepting. 4
Star reporter interviewed the Senator on
the Presidents veto of the Chinese bill
He showed great chagrin at the Presi-
dents action, and felt deeply concerned
as 10 tie effect the veto would have upon
the Pacific Coast. He said il WAS a sore
bow upon the Republican party, He
said the battle had Just begun, and that
the Pacific coast would be solid, irrespec-
tive Of party, and would force the issue.
In regard to the reasuus ass gned for the
veto, he stated they were most trivial,
and was sorry the President allowed HIM
self To be carried away by New England
sentimentalism; that he ought TO have
been governed by the representatives of
the Pacific coast and people, and not by
crazy humanitarians that ii he we're now
in congress be would Immediately intro
duce and advocate bill to appropriate
sufficient money to remove all the Chinese
from California to the eastern states and
distribute them among their friends. He
doubted very much the ability OF Con
gress TO pass the bill over the veto.

What a Dog Did.

One Of the many tramps whc visited
the city dispepsary, seemingly for the
purpose Of annoying the physician in
charge recently, TO infiict upon DR.. Dorset
a present In the shape OF a noisy, whin-
Ing pup. The present was not made in
the usual way, so that the doctor might
have chance TO return thanks; but slyly
was II thrust\in at the door, after which
the donor disappeared expecting the
Blessings Of the medicine man, II any
ware TO follow, to come by telephone
The pup soon made himself acquainted,
and developed remarkable tact for getting
his tail and toes under peoples feet.
D0rsett put the dog ont several times,
but Just as often as he did somebody
brought h;nl back Jack, the present Of
the Mayor to the driver of the ambu
lance, finally interested himself in the
pup. Jack, Scotch terrier, is fine old
dog, and his attentions TO the helpless
young cur are said to have been very pa
thetic. Whenever a new patient called
at TIE dispensary and introduced himself
by stepping On the small dogs tail, Jack
was 10th to excuse the indiscretion on the
ground of accident, and, though he never
bit anybody, many newcomers thought
themselves fortunate when they escaped
scar
DR.. Dorsett is responsible for the bal
ance Of this story: 'iJack dId not only
protect the pup from humanity The
other day when the Health Commissioner
vent out to get in his buggy, at the close
of office hours, Jack, who Is fond Of hi1,
went along to wag his tail III token Of =
pleasant good-by. The pup followed
Jack. While the horse pranced up and
down before starting, the attention OF the
small dog was attracted by the horses
hind legs. Evidently the dog had never
seen a horse. In his aMazemcnt he was
about To go Up and nose the fetlochs to
see what they were Iaade Of. Jack uu-
derstood the reckless curiosity, and hav-
ing learned by experience the rashness Of
such an undertaking, watched him close
ly. When the pup was within foot Of
the legs OF the horse, Jack, who had fol
lowed him several steps, seized him by
the ear and pulled him away from his
peril. The little dog did not understand,
and when he got loose he made another
move in the direction Of the dangerous
hoofs. Jacks attention being directed
elsewhere, lie did not notice the young
ster until he was within two inches Of the
fetloc6s This was a moment If great
emergency, and Jack was the dog for the
occasion. SprinGing forward with all the
speed he could muster, Jack took the pup
rescIutely by the tail and dragged him
safely beyond all danger, pushing him
over on his back, holding him down, and
complacently awaited hlr Franels' de
parture-
At first Dorset did not know what TO
do with the pup, but he finally laid a
dark plot to vaccinate hin, whsreupon
the cur disappeared as mysteriously as he
had come. st. Louis G!oJc- Democrat

some thirty years ago Mr. Green, an
aIniable EDglishman seeing rather shah
by old man looking for a seat in church,
opened his pew door, beckoned TO him,
and placed him in a comfortable corner,
with prayer and hymn books. The old
gentleman, who carefully noted the name
IN these latter, expressed his thanks
warmly at the close Of the services. Time
had effaced the incident from Mr., Green's
recollection, when he one day received an
intimation that by the death Of gentle
man named Wilkinson he had become en-
titled 10 thirty-fve thousand dollars
year Mr. Wilkinson was a solitary old
man, without. relatives Green's act pre-
possessed him in his favor; he inquired
about him, and found that he bore the
highest character. There was a marve-
lously courteous hospitality in the matter
Of pews for some time after that bequest,
but no one else has yet got thirty
thousand dollars year for a seat.

Of affairs exists in New York, as Is evi-
denced by the following, from the y. I.
Sun: The struggle of five thousand op-
eratives against two and half million
dollars of capital still goes on at Lawrence
"A struggle begun by girls on 80 cents a
day, who didn't want to be reduced to 6e,
and who were joined by other workwomen
and workmen, who had been treated to q
ike bitter dose. The women who struck
first do - as individuals, having no or
ganization which could order them to
strike. Nevertheless, when, without any
such protective organization, they chose
committee of mill hands, who selected
delegation of three messengers, not of
strikers, nor of employees of any sort,
but the Mayor Of Lawrence, the cashier of
one bank and director of another, to
visit the treasurer and plead with him for
jrstice, he turned back this embassy TO
the local superintendent as being the
proper officials to deal with. These super
intendents, fulfilling their part in the ar
rangement, refused to treat with anybody
but their own work people Finally,
when the latter sent committee OF their

+" Jumbo

Mr.. Barnum's purchase Of tie great
elephant OF the London Zoo has suddenly
becomea burning question. Ihavemore
than once referred to Jumbo as one OF the
special attractions at the Geological So
ciety. You have known for some time
that his Elephantine Majesty has been
purchased for $4,000 by Mr.. Barnum.
This fact coming out in the papers was
received with q mild kind of regret.
Many Of the Fellows mentior-d the cir
cumstance TO me (as being one Of their
number), with the view IF using friend
ly influence to prevent the bargain being
carried out. The society is rich, it does
not want money, and the transaction was
regarded as evidence of a hucksteriny
spirit that ought 10 be put down. No
action, however, was taken. / argued
that the Council knew their own business;
that Mr Bartlett, the Secretary, and
famous naturalist, had No doubt very
good reasons for the sale, and further.
more, that II is one of the business prinei-
PIES Of the Council to sell anu buy and
exchange animals On inquiry l found
that Mr. Bartlett considers Jumbo a grow
ing difficulty Although the largest
known elephant in the world, he is des-
tined TO increase still further in bulk, and
possibly at maturity TO go mad. At all |
events Mr.. Bartlett thinks that the time
viii come when the gardens will not be |
large enough for Jumbo unless under |
certain restraints that might seem cruel !

Barnum would think of this explanation, |
