\ Story Of George Peabody.

The proceedings at the first meeting of the Library association were enhvened by Mir. Henry Stevens, the well-knOwn ''bibliOgrapher and lover of books" who related with his usual humor some lit- erary anecdotes, winch, ss he said. were not generally to be met with in pub lished books. One of these relating to the late Mir. George Peabody Is too amusing not to deserve a wider cIrcula- tion. The eminent philanthropist, anx- lous "tO do something in a literary way for his native city, Boston, appl ed to NIT. Stevens for advice. How are 0O0ksH' inquired Mr. Peabody as if they were stocks and shares. "What can get three thousand volumes fOry' Well" replied his adviser, ''yOu can get them at a shilling a volume or a pound a volume" linen l will have them at a shilling a vOlume,' was the answer; end he forthwith commissioned the book savant to procure and have de- livered Co him at Boston, we'll bound, in good condition, and free of charge, three thousand volumes for the same number of shillir0s. This was in due course accomplished, and the munif- ceuce of the donor lost nothing by the fact that a mistaken account of the transaction afterward found its way into the newspapers, describing how the H. brary had been selected and founded at cost of q per Tolume.-Pall Mall Gazette.

The Tramn,s Terms.

A lawyer returned to his home one evening to find that a tramp had forced his way into the house and appropriated property of considerable value. He rushed for the police. and by some un- accountable accident the thief was over hauled ant conducted tO the cooler. "Ahl you rascal, you shall suffer for this" groWled the lawyer. "l desire to engage your legal service to defend me" was the sheet-iron reioinder. T will give you hall of ;he stolen property to clear me of the charge" Wretch how dare yOu?' "Oh. 1T you don't close with me, some other lawyer wlll take all, was the steady reply.

How Jay-Eye-See Eats Sugar.


 Yesterday Jay-Eye- See, the little black gelding, appeared on the track, and with Ed. Bithers behind him, had a nice little exercise jos. Only a few re- co .nized the little wonder when he made his appearance; still, he was greeted with certain amount of ap- plause, and he started off on his Journey with knowing shake of his head, as If he meant to say, Well, I'm not much to look at, but am an awfully good one Co go,' and away he sped, accomplishing hi5 Journey in thoroughbred style.
 In conversation with Mr. Case last night that gentleman said: q do hope ths little horse will win Tn his bout with St. Julien, and I thlnk he will. | have been asked to let him irOt agalnst Johnston for S20OOO. but l do not feel inclined tO do SO, as l think he haf trotted enough this seasOn. | am not afraid of Johnston or any other horse. but I wish to give the little fellow a rest.
 Did you ask if he wal the pet of the family2 We'll, should remark he was My wife and three daughters pet him and feed him with sugar, as If he was a baby, and he is just the most alice tiouate horse you ever saw.

Teller,s Trunk and story.

Secretary Teller seems to have had a novel experience with the road agents during his excursion with the Hast spike" party on the Northern Pacific Railroad. The Secretary and Mrs. Tel Ter, intending to make an extended tup before reaching home agaln, took two large trunks of clothing. By accident the trunks were set off the baggage car at the little station where the spike was driven, and, of course, they suddenly disappeared After a dIIgent search the trunks were found concealed m an excavation near the railroad. They were not entirely empty, for the consld- crate robbers, after taking off the locks and removing the contents of the trunks had carefully placed the locks inside tine trunks and then left them. "SO l have only to send them tp a locksmIth and have them repaired said Mir. Tel Ter to-day. ''I was as glad to get them back as the minister was to recover his hat after sending it on fruitless errand through q stingy congregation. | never think of that story continued the Sec retary. without being reminded of a clause in a miners deed, which | once came across in making a search respect lLE tue tlllc Oi h piCCC VI AAliD4N- kA'f erty in Colorado.

THE PROPOSED TREATY WITH MEXICO

The United States Consul at Meta-
 moras has been at some pains to collect
 6ata bearing on the proposed treaty be-
 tween this country and Mexico, and has
 found that the adoption of the treaty will greatly rebound to the benefit of
 the United States. In his report trans
 mitted to the State Department he says:
 "The State Department tables of the commerce between the United States
 and Mexico, show how tine revenue of each country will be affected by the rat i6cation of the proposed commercial ! treaty, placing certain articles on the free list. It is shown by these tables l that the United States will lose SlI9,O15 by placing on the free list Mexican arti- | cles on which duty is now paid, while Mexico will lose S665,116 on articles | from the United States on which duty is now paid. The Consul shows very con clusively that the ratification of the
 treaty will be of great advantage to the ! United States, and open up most prof itable market for our manufactures. | The Mexican government proposes to admit free Of duty petroleum, car riages, sewing machines, tools, clocks, stoves, steam engines, etc, Iu all of
 which there is practically no competi- ! t1on in Mexico with American dealers.
 He says the whole wagon and carriage
 supply would be in the hands of Amerl- l can manufacturers"

CHICAGO, Oct. 30-Important meet ings of the general officers of the Pacific roads purpose perfecting an arrange ment on the California business. The arrangement recently made ID San Fran cisco IS found to be very faulty, and the whole work will have to be done over again, especially Tn regard to the con- tract system, the Northern Pacific refus- ing to join for continuing thIs obnoxious system. A commissioner Is also to be elected at this meeting in place af Gault who declined. There are number of candidates in the field, most of whom have already been mentioned. The latest is that Mir. Bye, one of COmmis- sioner Finks chief assistants who has had large experience in pool matters.
 WAsHIyGroN, Oct. Delegate Singheiser of Idaho arrived here thIs morning and will not return home until after the adjournment of Congress. He reports that Idaho IS rapidly increasing in wealth and population. The perplex- ing problem in Idaho at the present is that of mormonism; three counties in the terrltOry being under their domln- atiOn. The people east had no idea of the power of this sect and from Observa- tion he felt sure that If needed they could muster 100000 armed and fully equipped fanatics, eager to do battle for their faith. One remedy against the encroschment of the mormoDs would be to disfranchise them, and if this failed, harsh measures should be resOrted to.

THa APACHE RENEGAnEs

The location and number of renegade
 Apaches, IS now more of a mystery than ever. They tell us in vague way, that battle has been fought ID Chihuahua
 between the Mexican forces and the Apaches dnder Geronimo, and that a number of men were killed on both sides and surgeon was sent for 10 dress the wounds of Mexican soldiers. Soon after the battle near Casas Grandes was reported to have taken place, and long before the Indians who were en- gagged in that battle could have reached Silver Creek, news reached us from a semi-ofiicial source, that Geronimo and hls followers were coming ID, and wanted to return to San Carlos. There seems to be discrepancy-av void to fill a missing link to supply to make con- nectiOn between the two stories. If Geronimo and his band have come Tn to surrender to general Crook, the battle reported as having taken place in Chi huahua did not take place at all, or if it did, was fought by but portion of Ge- ronimO's followers, or by some other band of renegades, as the distance could not possibly have been made from Casas Grandes to Silver Creek in the five or six days intervening between the date of the reported fight and their arrival at the latter place. It is badly mixed up affair, which cannot, at this date, be un- derstood, or any definite conclusions ar- rived at.
 If 90 to 100 Apaches have come in to surrender, and the fight really did take place in Chihuahua as reported, there ars many more renegade Apaches al large than was hitherto supposed to be. We shall have to await further and more specific information before we can tell much about the true sipation of the renegade Apaches.

TIE CITIZEN of Monday contained a very complete description of the Quijo- toa district and properties, but 1t con- tained some inBccuracIes relative to owners. For instance, the report stated that NIT. Mckay 6 Co. owned the Finer ald mlne, when in fact Mir. Mckay has nothing to do with that property. Messrs. Aaron Mason, Fred Adams, So- lon Mason and Mir. Weldon own the Emera,d.-Euterprise.
 The CITIZEN did not state that Mr. Mckay X O. owned the Emerald mine, but "Messrs. Mckay, Weldon and oth' CTS" The statement was in error so far as the ownership of Mir. Mckay IS con- cerned. As to the other mines referred to, the CITIZEN did not attempt to give ownership except to the Crocker mine and that only in part.

FARMING IN ARIZONA.

The Alta California rldicules the idea of profits from small farms in Arizona, hut the rIdicule of that journal will fall s.ill-born, on the man of sense and fuicmeut who has investigated the sub- isct or has given the question any thought. The Alta seems 10 be ID ignorance Of the large tracts Of rich bot -am lands along the Colorado. Gila and Salt rivers, and many other smaller streams throughout eastern and south srn Arizona. We assure the AIta, that ue have as good, or better grain and fruit lands in ArIzoua, than can be '7ual In Caiitorus A-izona beng la--elya mining country, the consum- ID, portion of OUT population is large, and will continue to be for genera nsns to come. This being the case we shall always have a good market, and uatil such time as a surplus is produced ths na1k. price of all fruits and grain n-5iucad in Arizona will be the market price Of the same commodities in Cali iornIa with the freight added. We claim that Arizona produces fruits and cereals, in all respects equal, and in uauy respects superior to those pro- d1cs3 in California. Oranges, lemons, piuesppies and bananas do better here than In California, while our peaches and apples Tn the higher attitudes are far superior to those grdwn in that state, and bring higher price in our markets, while the grain product of Ari- z0ua is in euery way equal to that of California and is a sure crop. It would be well for the Alta to post up on the resources of Arizona before 1t pokes too much fun at Arizona cactus farms"

SOME Of the best and most substantial men of Tucson, men who have the well fare of the town at heart, and whose interests lies in its future prosperity and success, complain that no public enter prise of any importance can be in8ug- urated in Tucson, without number of dead beats as they term them wiring ID, and become drags to such enterprises in which they have not a dollar interest, nor a dollar to put in; they only 'wring in for the purpose of getting hold to sell out for few paltry dollars. Some of the best men in town in their efforts to advance the material interests of the city, refuse longer 10 associate with such men. They are tired of putting up their money and character against the cheek and assumption of men who have neither money or in- huenee, and who care nothing for the town outside of the few dollars they ex- pect to make by swops and trades of stock they have never paid for nor never will. This is certainly an unfor- tunate state OF affairs. But are not the representative men of the town some what to blame for allowing such men in orgauizations which if carried ont are calculated to benefit the town and Ter ritory? II undesirable men sneak n who amount to nothing and repre- sent nothing, they may be disposed of without much delay and 1t seems to us that the sohd men of the town who alone are able to inaugurate successful enterprises, should take such matters in their own hands and weed out the bar nacles. The citizens of Tucson have for some time noticed that some of the men who took the lead in such matters were not Of that class who were calcu- lated inspire confidence. either at home or abroad, and We are glad to learn that there Is a disposition on the part of the representative men of the town 10 get rid of them. If the mOneyed men of the Tucson will go to work in real earnest, with full determination to do their duty, the drones and nonentities will be forced to make room for them. If ad- venturers take the lead 1t IS because they are allowed to do so, and not be- cause they are called upon.
