Late TelegrnmS.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Upon the re- commendatiOn of the second comptroller of the treasury. Secretary Folger has referred to the Court of Claims for trial the case of General Adam Badeau, a retired army officer and now consul gen eral at Havana. This case involves the question of the right of a retired army officer employed in the consular service to receive pay for both offices. 1t also involves the general question of whether the acceptance by a retired army officer of a position in another branch of the government servlce IS not equivalent to B resignation of his commission in the army.
 GALVESTON, June 26.-An associated press representative to-day interviewed party who possesses particularly fav- orable opportunities for obtaining the latest and most trustworthy information from Vera Cruz and learned that an es- innate of death rate of fifteen per day at that port from yellow fever is exceed ingly cautious It is probable that the correct figure is even higher than the one given. The fever IS of B particularly fatallty, the percentage of deaths among the unfOrtunates stricken with the dis ease being much greater than usual. The nasty denlal on the part of the state quarantine officers here and from the ship Haytian, recently from Vera Cruz and now under quarantine in the outer roads of Galveston harbOr regarding the startling reports received, IS exciting more or less comment, one individual going SO far as to assert that it would not be surprising If three or four cases of the malignant type were developed on board the Haytian.
 WASHINGTON, June 2S.-At cabinet meeting held day or two ago the ques- tion considered was relative to the al- ! legged shipment of pauper immigrants to this country from Ireland by the British authorities. The result oi the delbera- | ton on the subject IS shown in the sub sequent action of the secretary of the | treasurer, who telegrsphed instructions | to the collector of customs at New York | to cooperate with the commissioners of | immigration at that port tO prevent ali | immigrants landing found to be paupers
 within the meaning of the law. In the ! event of such pauper immigrants having | already landed, as ia reported to be the
 case with large number shipped on
 tbe steamer Farnesia, the collector is in
 structed to take all practical measures to
 have them re-shipped to tine port from
 whence they came.

An ola sculptor Relates His Romantic

 Policeman Smith, of the Tenth Pre- ciuct. brought before Justice Patterson at Essex Market yesterday morning, on a charge of intOxication, prisoner who describes himself as Charles Lafayette, seyenty-three years old, and 6 sculptor bv oeenpat.oa. He added that he was fine nephew of Marquis de Lafayette of Revolutionary fame.

The Fascinating Game.

A New York letter says: Draw-pOker, a distinctiyely American game, Tor many years confined to the southwest, and re- gently imported into the old world, Is growing more and more prevalent here every month. Club-m and well-tO-dO wUrldlings were formerly Ils nam ad- herents, but 1t has now become sOclal feature of number of fashionable houses, and ladies Of distinction have grown to be expert. They know all about "bluffing," "seeing," calling "Jack-pots," raising the ante" divided pools," sequence flushes," and all the mysteries of the hazardous sport.
 I have been told, thOngh l do not vouch for 1t, of graceful and accom- plished girls winning large sums from their fathers, and sons making the "gov- ernor come down handsomely on an unexpected strong hand. Extravagant wives. who cannot persuade their hus- bands to give them all the money they want, are reported to get II out of them by superior dexterity Tn securing kings queens and aces. Draw-pOker IS bad enough for men ot wealth; but played as 1t now IS, by men dependent on limit ed salaries, 1t Is a grievOus vice. Think of astriplIng who has to work hard for S70O or $500 year "seelng" his antago- hist and going"SiO0 to $500 better Ambitious youths of this sort cannot, of course, always pay cash; they have re course. therefore, to any number of I. O.. U's. I heard that salesman of2l, Tn n downtown jobbing-house, on a salary of SG0O has gwen 5000 or S6,0OO of these evidences of indebtedness. Four or five years ago poker was never mentioned m what was understood to be polite so- ciety, bat one may hear of 1t now m the form of remarkable experiences and el- aborate discussions almost anywhere be- tween the North and East rivers, or Washington heights and Bowling Green. Poker assuredly spreads like a pestilence. It was first played in the southwest not more than forty years ago, and played then with but twenty cards. Very soon the more modern game of draw-pOker with a full deck was evolved. and draw-poker Is to-day the favorite diversion in every large town. both in this country and in Eu- rome

Result of Better Selectlons.

The discovery was recently made by MT. Eliot Mccormick of Brooklyn, that the boys who attend the Polytechnic Institute in that city read many more aud much better books than the boys of the same age who attend one of the best public schools in this city. Indeed, nearly all the positively evil reading, Mir. Mccormick ascertained. was done by the pupils of the puclic schools. He shows very satisfactorily that the amaz- inc difference between the characters of the books read bJ these two sets of boys cannot be accounted for by the infiu- ence exerted at the schools, but by the kind of reading the boys have put be- fore them at home. In this there is a lesson for Mir. Mccormick to learn. The list of authors which are the favor ties of these boys likewise is suggestive. Dickens is by far the most popular nov elist with those who read the best books -a singular confirmation of fact that would have surprised the critics of twen- tv years ago, that Dickens is really a juvenile writer, and inevitably became SO when Thackeray and especially George Eliot lifted the novel mp to the plane of mature readers. It is credit able likewise to the taste of these boys tbat they read Scott and Cooper more than their elders read them, nor has Washington Irving lost the place ID their appreciation which he no longer retains in the appreciation of older readers. .-ChlcagO Times.

JUn. THE OUTCAST.
How the Great Chiricahua War Chief Was
 Fired Out by Ills People.

Much speculation has been indulged
 in since the return of General Crook concerning the whereabouts of the noto-
 rlous Juh, the willy Chiricahua chieftain.
 He was known co have led many of the most daring raids from his Sierra Madre stronghold into both Sonora and Chi
 huahua, and his numberless tiendish
 atrocities had caused his name to become
 a synonym with the Mexicans for all
 that was hateful and terrible. At the
 time the Chiricahuas surrendered to
 General Crook lt was stated that Juh
 and his band were absent on a maraud- ing expedition, and such was generally
 believed to be the case; but from lnfor- nation recently obtained by an EpitRph
 reporter II seems pretty certain the dreaded savage, ID addition to being at
 war with the entire white race, IS also an Outcast from his own people. The story, as told to an army officer by one of Crooks caDtives who was formerly en- listed as scout and stationed at Fort
 Bowie, is about as follows: Some time last fall Juh and hIs band made de- scent from their mountain fastness upon a small foot-hill settlement in the state of Chihuahua. The village was sur prlsed by the savRges, and the fighting portion of the inhabitants either killed
 or put to flight After the red devils Ob- tained possession they burned and pill laged the town, outraged the women and
 murdered defenseless children, as IS their usual custom. Among the plunder was large quantity of mescal, and the savages, deeming themselves safe from af Frs... indulgence in the favorite beverage of tine Mexicans. The result was debauch which would have been worthy of Satan and his imps. Meanwhile the inhabi- tants who had fled at the time of the at tack returned to the scene. They found the savage marauders nearly overcome
 by their excesses and in no condition to defend themselves. Realizing that their turn had come, the Mexicans were not slow to exact vengeance upon the mur- derers of their families and destroyers of theIr homes. An attack was made, and only four of the band escaped, among whom was Juh and the e1-scout. They ruturned to their mountain strong hold, where the families and friends of the exterminated warriors were awaiting their coming. When the result of the ill-fated expedition and the cause of its failure were made known, howl of in- dignetion was raised, and Juh, as the leader of the band was held responsible for the disaster. His past successes and popularity were not sufficient to with stand the storm of indignation and the discomiitted chief was forced to flee for his life, several relatives of the deceased bucks taking a shot at him as he disap- peared. Since then the once powerful Juh has had nO1communication with his tribe, and Is doubtless still wandering about the Sierra Madres mourning for his departed greatness.-Epitaph.

Mines AbOut Phenix.
Phenix Gazette.


 The mining industry of thIs section of the Territory is being prosecuted with considerable energy, notwithstanding the excessive hot weather. This mOrn- ing a large lOs of provisions left Tor Cave Creek, sufficient for two months work, and nearly every day similar amounts are shipped to other districts. The ore being taken out of the mines shows very rich in gold, silver and copper, and the ledges are well defined and growing larger as depth is attained. In a short time the smelter of the Indiana con- pany, at Castle Creek, will be pouring out its treasure by the ton, the only cause for delay-as the smelter Is now ready for it's work-is the non-arrival of the man who will make the first months run. He Is expected in few days. Con siderable interest is felt in the success of this plant, as Il will be test for many mines in it's neighborhOod. But there can be DO doubt of the result. The owners of the mine are men who intend to develop the property for its worth, and not as has been too frequently the case, for merely speculative purposes. Should good returns be had from this smelter, 1t will cause owners of mines In other districts to take steps for the cree ton of iurnaces on their properties. We have often called attention to the wants of our miners, and we will again reiterate. Let mining experts visit the mines of Cave Creek, Winifred, Maga- zine and Surprise Districts. and we feel confident that they will cause the cree tion of reduction works. The ore IS there, but the owners are poor men. un- able to stand the expense of such works, without outside help. To secure this, owners Of good properties must not ask too high figure. Such will drive away instead of inviting capital. Better by far accept a smaller sum than let the property remain idle and unremunera- rive. We claim, without fear of contra dictiou, that the mines of Maricopa county are as rich as those of other favored sections, and to verify the pre- diction, all that IS necessary, IS the cree tion of reduction works, the same to be worked honestly, for both mines and

Rubio was arrested three years ago on the charge of murder. There were several persons stopping in a house where an American was murdered and Rubio is said to have committed the crime. It happened so long ago, and the witnesses are so far scattered that it will probably be difficult case to get conviction. Rubio IS troubled with spasms, averaging two and three times a month, and occasionally so many times day, and the guards at the iail think he will not live long.
