We earnestly hope that Chief Jus tice Howard will arrive ia this terri tory in time to hold Court here before the Prescott term opens. An imme- diate session of the District Court iL this county Is an imperative hecessi ty for many reasons. We have some five persons in jail awaiting the ac- ton of the Grand Jury in their cases, and it would be unjust to them and to the county to keep them there up
 til the September term. In addition to this the civil calendar is larger than ever before, numbering some thirty cases, all of which are ready for trial. Several of our best and most productive mines are tied up in the meshes of the law awaiting the assistance of the Court to set them free. Besides the damage done to the property itself in beng thus tied up there IS the damage done to the community at large, by keeping these mining suits in court. An immediate session of the District Court would set many men, and teams at work here and everyone would be benefited thereby. h at1Taaition addition t8 this there are many witnesses here from afar who have been awaiting the sittir g of the Court for a month and are still waiting. We insist that the business of this county is as important as that of any in the territory and that in law and in justice we are entitled to an immediate session of Court even if the Yavapai county term should have to be put off a couple of weeks in consequence.

A Good Word for the ssBnllhead.v

The United States Fish Commission
ers, while doing all that they can to
distribute German carp among farmers,
recommend, at the me time, the
stocking of ponds, natural or artificial,
with native fish. Among others, they
speak very favorably of the ~bullhead"
horned pout or small catfish. 1t is
well adapted to shallow and somewhat
warm water, is perfectly hardy, not
liable to disease, and propagates very
rapidly. IFS food consists chiefly of
acquatic plants that grow without Guilt
vation on the borders of streams and
ponds. 1t also devours many insects
shat are liable to be source eff annoy
ance. 1t costs very little to prepare a
pond for raising these fish, or for stock
ing it. The flesh OF the catfish is re-
garded as great delicacy in places
where it is difficult to obtain it, and is
now becoming popular in several East
ern cities. 1t resembles the flesh of
cells, which is far more nutricious than
the flesh OF most kinds of fish. 1t re-
quires to be cooked for some time in an
abundance of hot fat. Many condemn
this fish who have never eaten it or,
held it in very low esteem, because it
is common.-Chicdgo Times.

Evolution i'm Buckwheat Cakes.

"Buckwheat cakesl" said man in
down town restaurant. wheat cakesP
said another man by his side. In q
short time the waiter brought three
broad, thin disks, that were white
within and crisp and brown without, to
each man. In looks the cakes were
exactly alike. A man with a sensitive
taste could have determined after one
or two trials that they did not taste
alike.
Il ordered buckwheat just because
the name brings up pleasant memories,
said one. Here Is O case In which
evolution has ruined the thing evoluted.
When / was boy my father used to
carry buckwheat to mill and bring
back grayish flour. Ny mothLr mixed
it up at night, and the next morning
sat down to breakfast before heap
but no matter. We won't talk about
it."
"Yes, but you said something about
the evolution spelling the thing
evoluted ?"
~The buckwheat flour. The buck
wheat of my youth was cleaned and
then ground between the stones Like
any other grain. Not long ago a man
who wanted to make beautiful flour
to look at, concluded that he could do
so if he could entirely remove the shuck
from the kernel of buckwhet. To do
this he made machine that consists of
four serrated or corrugated rollers.
Two are PLACED at the end of screen
over which the grain passes, and as the
grain passes between them it ge,s a nip
that breaks it up and separates about
oil the meat from the husks. Then the
meats drop through short screen. and
the husks pass on through the second
set of rollers They are further broken
up and the remaining meats are
separated The meats are ground and
this white, tasteless stuff is the result"
"That was only the complaint of
man who thinks there are no times like
the old times" said q -four dealer 10
whom the above was related. IF he
wants ground husks instead of clean
-four he can get it. and for less money.
Few mills now grind the shucks and all
together, but the -four il to be had. II
the new-process flour were not better
than the old, 1t would not now be
taking the lead. "-Ne,o York Sam.

MarlOMe.

Do we not too much neglect Marlowe
in our reading, of late years? going to
Lambs selections rather than to the
original works of the free souled Christie
pher? Marlowe was the one poet of
Shakspeare's time worthy to be named
with him; and the greatest loss En-
glish literature has had in so young O
poet until Keats and Shelby died in
our own century. Like them he was
under 30, having been born two months
before Shakespeare tFeburary, l564),
graduated at Cambridge in 1853, and
began to write plays so N after he left
the university. He was killed in o
tavern brawl by Francis Archer in
June, 1898, when in his Both year, and
before Shakespeare had written many of
his plays. They were not schoolmates,
for NARROW was born and educated at
Canterbury before he went to college,
while Shakespeare, who never went to
college at all, picked up what Lat n he
had in o little school at Stratford,
which he may have attended, though
we do not know that he did. But they
met in London theaters, no doubt, in
their hot youth. = Boston letter ie
