A Heavy Failure

CHICAGO February "A morning
paper has published the following par
sgraph: "The Union Iron and Steel
company has made to Addision L
Griffia a mortgage for 81, COO, 600,
payable In ten years with interest a.
z per cent, subject to mortgage Of
$500, 900 to the Connecticut Mutual
Lite Insurance company, and gives a.
security all Of It's property of every
description. This doubtless led to .he
rumor On tho streets that the company
had failed. A, + Stone, the presl-
dent, made the following statement:
"We may have to suspend and place
the company in the hands If re-
ceiver for the best interests of all.
The circumstances which brought
it about are large amount
of material on hand, the do
cline III price of rails, and more than
ali tho unressonableness tf men who
are disposed to control capital and de-
mand 80 to 40 per cent more for their
work than paid by the EASTERN mills.
The eff ,ers decline in advance of q
definite action to make any statement
of the assets and liabilities.
The following figures are tho most
reliable obtainable. The value of the
plant "a, 900, 600, the capital stock is
81. 600, 600. the annual statement last
year showed a surplus of $6 .0lO. GOO
besides two mortgage liabilities esti.
mated at 81 900 600. At the close Of
navigation the company had on hand
50, SEQ 900 worth of ore for which ii
was in debt. This has been reduced
to $l,7O0,000. How much ID due
on it is MT known. The controlling
interest Is held by A. B. Stone Of this
city and Amssa Stone Of Cleveland.
A. L. Griffin, to whom the million dol.
lar mortgage is made, Is one of the off
GERS. At 6 o'clock this evening the
men were informd that the mills would
be closed tomorrow. Two thousand
men are thrown out of employment
and many of them have no money
ahead as they have been on strike
recently. Probably receiver will be
appointed tomorrow. The company
has no paper with the banks, and 1t il
not believed the failure will embarrss
any one else. Amasa Ssone is th'
heaviest creditor. One of the cause
of the failure Is the completion o
heavy additions to the mill at cost o
nearly million just before the fall II
iron and the commencement of thu
tariff agitation.

An Old Church In Arizona.

The most interesting of all sights is
the grand old mission church of San
Xavier, nine miles from Tucson, on the
Papago reservation. This mission was
founded in 1864, when the Papago Cor
Pima) Indians were supposed to have
accepted the Christian religion. The
church of San Xavier was begun about
the year 100 and finished in 1898, ex-
cepting one of the towers, which is yet
unfinished. The style of architecture is
Moorish. The lines are wonderfully
perfect 1t is in the form of a cross, 20
lis feet, and has well formed dome.
A balustrade surmounts all the walls.
The front is covered with scroll work,
intricate, interesting, and partly decay
ed. Over the front is life-size bust of
St. Xavier The interior is literally
covered with frescoes. The altar is
adorned with gilded scroll work.
The Statues are as numerous as the
paintings. The thing on the floor is
much defaced and but little left. That
of the roof is nearly all as perfect as
when laid. Its manufacture is one
of the lost arts There is chime of
four good sized bells in the tower that
have a soft, sweet sound. Ascending
TO the roof, you walk up long, narrow
stairs in solid walls. But one can go
at time The same is true in going to
the gallery of the church.
1t is marvellous that so long ago, and
in such a place, such architecture, orna-
ments, painting and sculpture were so
well executed. You are admitted by
two of the Papago signiors, who have it
in charge, The admittance fee is SO
cents for each person. -DenUer Tribune.

And the sunlight kissed il at its birth.
Far up in It's azure realms of sky,
The clouds OF summer are passing by,

As it saw the glory overhead

To move IN the shining ranks of heaven!"
