traordinary and regular nnnctuality.
This very day, the second OF October,
Fhileas Fogg had dismissed James
Forster this youth having incurred his
displeasure by bringing him shaving
water at eighty-four degrees Fahren-
heit, instead of eighty-six--and he was
waiting for his successor, who was to
make his appearance between eleven
and half-past eleven.
Phileas Fogg. squarely seated in his
arm chair, his feet close together like
those of soldier on parade, his hands
resting on his knees, his body straight,
his head erect, was watching the hand
of the clock move-a complicated
mechanism which indicated the hours,
the minutes, the seconds, the days, the
days of the month, and the year. At
the stroke of half-past eleven MIR. Fogg
would, according to his daily habit,
leave his house and repair to the Re-
form Club.
At this moment there was a knock at
the door of the small pagfor in which
was Phileas Fogg.

ant, appeared. 1.-The new servant, "

Death OF Judge wm. wilkes.

On last evening, too late for an
nouncement in the evening paper,
we learned of the death of Judge
Wilkes, on the preceding night in
the County Hospital, and moreover
that he was not only dead but buried.
For many years Judge Wilkes was a
leading citizen of Sonoma county,
California, where he prac;iced law
at the Santa Rosa bar. He was a
prominent Odd Fellow, AMI Past
Grand of the Santa Rosa lodge: a
man who was able and respected
among his fellow men. and of a
broad, noble charity that was only
limited by his mems, AMI quick,
k, en- sympathy that exhibit, d III
humanity within him. His habits
of life were generally good, but it
was his misfortune to be poor, and
in his old age, worn out by the bur
dens of busy life, he has passed
over the mysterious barrier to an
other life where it is Hoped the cold
and heariless charities of men, as
well as their -lfish avsricc, VIII

lie was Il native of Kentucky and
sixty years of age. A number of
the Judges friends are much grieved
that the announcement OF his doath
was not made in time for them to
give him decent burial, of which,
rs man and brother, he was so
hig hly worthy.

PHeNIx, Feb. 10, 1888.
EDITOR HERALD:-The death of
William Wilkes appeared in yester-
days paper rs having occurred yes
terday and that his funeral Won
take place yesterday afternoon.
The funeral, if any there was, took
place hours before his death was
announced, having died in the Coun-
ty Hospital. buried at the counties
expense, nith doubtless scarcely
enough following to cover his grave.
He did not die of any contagious
disease, and as II humane person l
tru-t such undue haste will never
occur again. 1t is the greatest office
of chart Y, in my creed, to dc honor
to the deal, and because a man is
poor is no reason that he should be
hurried into pauPer's grave, with
out giving acquaintances an oppor-
tunily, who know. the unfortunate
dead entitled to a more decent burial.
it is certainly unchristianlike, as l
believe they, by their creed, hold the
solemn funeral rite il some rever-
ence. I myself, would gladly have
paid all of the expenses of decent
funeral 10 the late VIM. Wilkes rath-
or than know him laid in a pauper's
grave.
There are others besides myself
here who knew him from his early
California home, and all that could
be said of him is that he was por,
but an honest AMI upright man, who,
in his better days, ennobled his life
by many ats Of true charity to have
merited more decent burial.
/ regret that this occurred, and
trust that it may never occur again;
that as a community at least we will
maintain that dignity and charity
that should characterize American
civilization. In speaking of his
death kindly ask Santa Rosa and all
Sonoma c,un;y papers, where he was
we'll known, to publish it.
Yours truly,
j. 81. ELLIS.

PHGNIx, A. T., Feb. II, 1888.
EDIToE HERALD:-I saw in Satur-
days HERALD notice of the death
and burial of Judge Wilkes, by J .
NJ Ellis, in which he misrepresented
the matter so grossly that in justice
to myself, 1 propose, by your leave
to correct
judge Wilkes was admitted to the
hospital On January 18th. January
Goth you were kind enough to an
nounce in the HERALD that he was
sick in the county hospital, and any
one who really wanted to administer
to his wants would have respond ed
to the call. February 9th, at half
past P. M, he died. spoke to some
fifteen men, asking them To follow
his remains to the grave. l also got
a clergyman to officiate. Judge
Wilkes remains were inferred on
February 10th, at 3 p. II, twenty
four hours after his death, which
left ample time for any preparation
that any friend of his cared to make.
Now, Mr.. Ellis calls that a hasty
burial. He would also lead the pub
lie to think that no one tried to have
a respectable burial. Now, since l
did all in my power in The matter, 1
don't propose to have the public
mystified by these statements. 1t
has been represented in the HERALD
Office and elsewhere lately that the
sick in the county hospital have not
proper care. Such conclusion has
been hastily drawn by casual Oh
servers, who say that one man can
not wait on so many. But be it ua-
ders;oud that there are always from
one to five inmates who are able to
assist in nursing and other work.
Now, we invite all who are concern
ed to visit the hospital, and to stop
and see for themselves how 1t is coz
Quoted. Crittcise as much as you
please, but don't rnlsrepresent US any
more. There has been enough of
that. CAPT. JOHN KING.

Concerning the Hospital.
PHOENIX. Feb. 9. 1888.


Ed HERALD:- Il read in last even
ing papers a communication in re-
gard 10 our County Hospitil. II is
formed of very high sentiment of
that charity which is engraved in
ineffaceable characters upon the hu-
man heart, and of which our Savior
made a new commandment for US.
If the citizens of Pheaix will assist
me, L will send East for the Sisters
of Charity to come here and take
charge of our hospital. The citizens
of Tucson and Prescott, of every
creed and denomination, generously
aided in establishing hospitals and
placed them under the supervision
of the Sisters, and of those hospitals
the citizens are justly proud. If the
people of this place will follow the
example of Tucson and Prescott, we
also can have a good hospital
Whenever the citizens are ready to
begin the good work, l will send for
the Sisters. Respectfully,
l. BLo.sE, Catholic Pastor.
