purchaser finds any wool in them. The
general range of prices is from S3.oo TO
$40, but the greatest demand, we are in
formed, is for class of goods ranging
from $40 to SIS. 1t is astonishing, too,
what really superior garments are offered
at these figures. The material is of a
class that can be recommended, while the
cut and makeup is unexceptionable.-
The fact is that an establishment like Mr..
Goldman's can be relied upon to sell as
modish or fashionably cut garments as
can De supplied by the merchant tailors,
and at merely nominal cost. This is ac-
complshed in very simple way. The
manufacturer, to sellhis goods, must keep
abreast of the fashions. He makes up
immense quantities of raw material with
out any perceptible loss of time or labor,
and the retail dealer who, like Mr.. Gold
man, buys direct from the manufacturer,
secures his goods at a very slight advance
over the actual cost of the raw material
and the cost of making. To realize how
extremely low-priced really good goods
are nowadays, enc ought to visit the
Philadelphia Store and see for himself.
Mr.. Goldman is evidently here to stay.

to make this mention of the success OF
the house, and wish it well for many
year to come.

A Travelling AGENTS Suit.

A Travelling Agents Suit.
The Trenton Times states that Mr. A. d.
Westbrook, formerly of this city, travel
ing salesman, late in the employ of
Whitehead Brothers, manufacturers of
rubber goods at Trenton, appeared in
the County Court, Thursday, as plain
tiff in suit against his late en-
ployers to recover $1,254,50 as salary
due him. On the witness stand he testi-
fed that he went into the firms employ
in August, 1880. On the first of January,
1882, he alleged contract was executed,
in which the firm agreed to employ him
for one year as travelling salesman at a
salary of 5000. In August, 1882, after
serving under the contract for about
eight months, trouble arose between him
and Alfred Whitehead, the correspond
ing clerk of the firm, which resulted in
his receiving notice from his employers
that his services were no longer required.
He testified that Alfred Whitehead had
been sending out low figures to small
jobbers and that this action had injured
his trade. The contract in question was
offered in evidence and corroborated the
witness as to the amount of salary he was
to receive and the term of service fol
which he was employed.
The defendants claimed that West
brook would not always obey orders, and
that viii he was IN the West they re-
ceived a letter from him stating that IL
was impossible for Alfred Whitehead and
him to remain in the employ of the same
firm. Upon his return he wanted an i'm
mediate decision and the firm discharged
him. They held that he had broken his
agreement, and furthermore that he had
threatened TO injured their business.
They testified in cross examination, how
ever, that his services were satisfactory
to them, and that they did not want to
part with him at the time. Edward W.
Evans appeared for the plaintiff, and f.
G. Lowthrop for the defendants. The
case was given into the hands of the jury
and the court adjourned.

ham D. Westbrook VS.. Whitehead Bros,

very artistically arranged with gentle

worth an inspection. Both windows were
arranged by Willard L, Adams, of New
York.

THE Globe Chronicle says: I've would undoubtedly rejoice with other good citizens of Arizona to see the whole horde of Apaches removed from the Territory, or if necessary, absolutely ex- terminated. We dislike very much the attitude taken by portion of the press towards Agent Wilcox, whom we believe intends to do his whole duty. It Is hardly fair to accuse an officer of stand ing in with the rowing band of murder CTS who were starved of from the reser- vatlon by his predecessor; especially so when there is no proof nor belief that any Indians have left the agency since he took charge" We agree with the Chronicle. It is not only unfair, but un- just. Agent Wilcox is no more respon- sible for the late raid than the Prince of Wales. There are a few newspapers in southern Arizona which take great credit to themselves for having predicted an outbreak of the Agency Indians a few days before the renegades entered Ari- zona rear the Huachuca mountains. They knew all about it-were expecting it, and had been for some time. The facts are that they knew nothing about it. No Indians had at that time left the agency, nor has it been shown up to this time, that any have left. They have ''cried wolf" lustily, but no body, save themselves, could see the animal. Their predictions amounted to nothing. The outbreak should have emanated from the agency, in order to make their pre- dictiOns worth anything, and how they can figure up any credit for sagac- ity and shrewdness we are at loss to understand. It sounds very much like the old man who boasted about his "bid- able dog" He said that "he had the best dog in the world; he would do any thing he required of him." Pretty soon his dog came into the house, when the old man proceeded to prove to the com pany present how well tOwser would mind. "Go out of doors" said the old man. Towser did not go out, but start ed in another direction, he then amend ed his order by adding Well, go under the bed them Whereupon the old man took much comfort to himself for the remarkable qualities of his "bidable dog" This is a very ancient dog story but 1t answers to illustrate the comfort certain newspapers are taking for the predictions they have made. They bid the Apaches "go out of the agency" but they came in from Sonora. Yet they continue to say Il told you soF' and hold agent Wilcox responsible for the action of Juh's band whom he never saw in his life, that had just returned from a marauding tour in Chihuahua, e00 F,rlas avyay

A FEW years ago, it was the custom of people who came to Tucson, to say they came on business, or for a short so!ourn in the Territory. In tine meantime-if professional men, they would hang out their shiIgle, OF if business men would soon drift into active business life. Under these conditions Tucson has grown to be a city. Those who came for a short stay have invariably become permanent settlers, and now begin to consider themselves real citizens of Ari- zona. Instead of seeking temporary quarters as was the case a year or two ago, they are nov hunting up building lots, and seeking advantageous building sites for future homes. Formerly 1t was believed that nothing but doby houses and earthy wrlls could be brought into use in Tucson. Cur people are beginning to learn that good houses can be built in Tucson as well as elsewhere, and that pleasant homes surrounded with grassy lawns and basuufuI evergreen trees can be had here by the investment of req sonable amount Of money. We are glad to note the change; 1t inspires our peo- ole with new life; gives confidence and permanency to our town. Not only IS this change going on in Tucson, but in every portion of the Territory. It Is the old California phase of life over again; and the more our people see Of Arizona, Ihe better they like 1t.

WHILE all the talking has been done by the Isthmus canal companies, they have gone quietly to work down in Flor ida-not to dig ship canals, but canals to drain the swamps, and make the land valuable The land sought to be re- claimed is as rich as the valley of the Nile, and all that is necessary to redeem it is to begin the canals near tide water and extend them interior, at the same time raise the grades so as to give them sufficient fall to carry off the stagnant water and thoroughly drain the sur rounding country. The land has been so long submerged with water that it requires some time after the lateral ditches have been run to drain the land SO as to render it fit for the blow. The Atlantic and Gulf Coast Canal and the Okeechobee Land Company has issued on interesting statement of the results thus far attained by that company i'll its efforts to reclaim 100000 acres of low lands in the Florida Everglades. The drainage problem means simply the re- hevlng of the land from surface water. This is done by running main canals, or what they term opening up a rlver bed. Then lateral canals are extended out on either side, which assumes the form of small streams, taking the Place of creeks and branches; or in other words doing the work as nature would have done it had the surrounding country not been formed almost like dead sea level. The work already performed has resulted in the reclamation Of 3SO,OOO acres of land, for which the State has donated 190,O00 acres to the company, in compliance with their contract with the State. The work contemplated by the company will necessitate the digging of a number of large canals, with scores of small ditches leading the water into them. The work will require the expenditure Of seven millions of dollars. It will prove a profitable investment both to the com pany and State. Without the expen- diturc the land is worthless, and the State can well afford to give halt of the swamp land away for making the whole valuable, all of which will soon become taxable property. Owing to the char acter of the work, laborers are much ex- posed, are n the water a greater portion of the time, they pay no attention to rainy weather, the work goes right along, yet the men have retained their health. It is believed this land, when all reclaimed, will be worth from ten to fifty dollars an acre. and will add s35,- OO0.0O0 to the real value Of the State.

IT has been stated that General Sher- idan is in New Mexico, and will visit Ar izona with view of establishing mili- tary posts at more advantageous points. It IS estimated that some posts will be reduced and others built mp and en- larged, and that he may possibly estab- fish an important fort in southern Ari- zona, which will be made headquarters for the Territory. There can be no doubt that the headquarters for Arizona should be nearer the San Carlos Agency, or at some point where the commanding ofii- Ger may be Of some service in prevent ing the semi-annual raids of Juh's hand ful of renegades. Either this should be done. or the troops removed altogether SO that our people would not look to them for protection.

NcCOmas, shot through both legs and in the left side, and his right arm WAS shot above the elbow. The blood on the ground coming from McComas could readily be followed by moonlight e where the Judge was found. He was perfectly naked too. No trace Of the child was found anywhere, nOtwltE- standing the ground was thoroughly searched for radius of one mile from the place of the massacre. An empty cartridges box were found near Judge McComas' left hand He was evidently making a running tight at the time Le fell dead. IL IS supposed that the cnl.I was taken by the Indians.

THr uncles Of Jesse and Frank James have sued the Louisville Courier-Joun- nal for hbel, and have placed the dam ages at $25,0OO and S50,OOO. The Jour- nal saw fit to publish the facts on the occasion of the death of Clarence Hite, who who was pardoned out of the Mich igan penitentiary short time ago, and who died a few days afterwards. The Journal went to trial on what the law yers call a plea of confession and avoid ance;" in other words admitted the pub hcation of the article complained of and sad 1t was true. A large number of witnesses have been heard for the de- feuse. who have substantially sustained the truth of the article. The trial has attracted great attention in kentucky, on account of its connection with the James family.
