EVERY mail from Southern Arizona brings the news of one or more deaths by the hands of the Apaches. Why General Crook does not call some of the slumbering soldiers of Northern Arizona into the field. is a wonder. Camp Verde is garrisoned with three companies, who do nothing but re- cline in the shade and eat rations while our citizsns are being slaugh- tered. Every available soldier should be put into the field. The public good demands it.

Boston supports 500 insane, says Mr..
I. b. Sanborn, not 75 Of whom will recov-

This is frightfull Insanity has increased
40 per cent in . decade and most of the
cases are incurable. Whatever the indi-
vidual cause may be, the fact remains
that uric acid blood sets the brain on fire,
destroys its tissues, and then comes some
form Of fatal lunacy.
Nothing Is 80 pitiable rs q mind dis
eased. Most brain troubles begin in the
stomach then If the blood is filed with
uric acid, caused by failure Of kidney ac-
tion, and the consequent destruction Of
the blood life-albumen-you have the
fuel and the fame and brain in full blaze
as when ones raves, or in slow combustion,
as in milder forms of insanity. Rev. E.
D. Hopkins, of st. Johnsbury, VT, q few
years ago was confined in an asylum. He
took terrible cold while aiding in put
ting out a fire in q neighbor's burning
house, and for twenty-five years that cold
was slowly filing his blood with uric acid
and finally the deadly work was done.
The case hooked helplsss- hut he happily
used Warmers Safe Cure and recovered.
That was three years ago, and having rid
den his blood of all surplus uric acid, he
has remained well until this day.
1t is indeed terrible thing to lose ones
mind, but it is more terrible thing to
suffer such condition when it can be so
easily prevented.

The LeConte Pear.

Editors Montgomery AdCertiscr: The LeConte
pear takes its name from an uncle of Prof.

LeContes let Liberty county their property
was bought by Mr.. William Jones, an uncle-iu- :
law of Prof. Joseph LcConte Mr.. Jones was
the first person to conceive the thought of
propagating these trees from cuttings. He had
observed that the seed would not mature in this
country, and he made an experiment with
cuttings, the result of which was encouraging.
and he continued to experiment until he had so
perfected his methods that large majority of
cuttings would take root.
The tree and its fruit were first probably

Miss Mary E. Bryan, a bright faced,
styllshly dressed young woman, appeared
at Jefferson Market yesterday as a COM
plainant against William Minnerly and
wife. Miss Bryan resides at No. 254
West Fourteenth street, and is under en-
gagement to Norman L. Munro as a Sc
rial story writer. She also writes for the
Lippincots and does other literary work.
On the evening Of Monday last she took
Bleeker street car to ride up town and
placed satchel containing $lO5 on the
seat by her side. There were only
two other passengers on the same
side of the car. After riding for
several blocks young woman who sat
upon the opposite side crossed over and
took seat beside her. At Fourteenth
street and Ninth avenue Miss Bryan left
the car and had walked half block be-
fore she missed her satchel. She hailed
the next car and told the conductor of
her loss. The driver whipped up his
horses and soon overlook the car ahead,
but the conductor informed her that a
young woman in black dress had left
the car at Seventeeth street, with bas-
ket and small black valise. Miss Bryan
reported her loss to Captaina McElwain,
of the Sixteenth Precinct, and set out
herself to do little detective work. She
hunted all the houses in West Seventeeth
street, but without success. Friday she
made another attempt, and learned that
woman answering the description of the
one she suspected lived on the fifth floor
of the tenement at No $50 West Seven
teenth street. Ascending to the rooms
she met little boy who told her that his
mamma and papa had gone out.
Has your mamma got a satchel ?" in
quired the amateur deteative.
"No, ma'am,' responded the boy.
"Let me put this on your neck" said
Miss Bryan, as she held up satchel the
counterpart of the one she had lost.
"How would you like one like that p
Oh, mamma bought one to-day just
like that" said the youngster.
Where is it p asked the lady.
"In the wardrobe" piped the boy.
"Oh, do, like nice little boy, show it
to me and see if it is as nice as this one p
pleaded Miss Bryan. The boy entered
the room and took out the satchel Miss
Bryan had left in the car. The lady took
a seat and remained in the apartment un-
til the man and wife returned. When
they entered, the father of the boy, who
is a truck-driver, had new rubber coat
and a new set of underwear, while the
wife had a lot of dry goods and household
supplies. Miss Bryan identified the wo-
man as her fellow-passenger on the car.
When charged with having taken the
satchel and money the woman at first de-
MED it, but after some sharp questioning
her husband acknowledged that they had
the satchel and produced $50, all that was
left of the $lO5.
Detective Schmidt, of the Sixteenth
Precinct, arrested the couple. In court
Miss Bryan said that she could not swear
that Mrs. Minnerly stole the money.
The young wife said that she was I'D
artificial flower maker. 81 picked the
satchel up from the seat Of the car" she
said. Miss Bryan then said:
81 do not wish to prosecute these peo-
pie, as this womanihas returned $50 of the
money" Justice Reilly discharged the
accused.-M Y. World, Oct. Is.

We need no special grace to see
The sweetness that around Us lies

In birds and brooks ana summer skies:

In dumb perristence by our hearth,

Make beautiful the earth,
And thrill responsive to the sense
or every lovely influence.
But oh how family we are stirred
BY things divine, whose voices seem
As Intellectually heard
As voices In . dreami

That ought to glow our soulswithin;
