A POstOfiiee Complaint.
TUcsoN, Sept. 24tb. 1888.

EDITOR CITIZEN:
 am not man accustomed to run to newspapers with my con- plsints or to ar my grievances through the public press, unless the public themselves individually, be as largely concerned therein as myself. The case in point is surely of this class, hence I seek your columns.
 The United States postal laws and regulations state Tn no ambiguous terms, that the money order department of a money order office shall be opened and kept open in common with the general delivery-which must be open during the usual hours kept by the principal business houses. This is the law as understand it, and the law by which other offices are regulated. Now, why is II that Tucson IS made the exception to the rule as it surely isg Is II done with the oognizsnos of the Department ct Washington, or does Postmaster FL liott set up laws of bis own?
 The general delivery of the Tucson office is open from 7:30 a. m. to 6 p. 10. but the money order department Is not opened till g a. m., one and R half hours later, and then to the infinite dis gust and annoyance of business men and public generally, is again closed st D. m., three hours earlier than the general delivery, thus leaving but hours in the middle of the day ID which to transact business through the medium | of the mails, Now. if this is not s gross violation of the law l would like to know what is. Give the public an an swer if you can Rs thIs inquiry will be carried further unless the shortcomings of our honorable P. NJ. be sbsted. Yours truly,
 A BUSINESS MAN. The above letter was received several days since but was withheld from publi- cation pending Rn interview wish Mir. Elliott which was had yesterday. Mir. | Elliott states thGt although the door
 leading to the money order and regis
 tration department has been closed be- fore 6. In., it has never been locked. | nor has he refused to do business vi hin | he prescribed hours. It will however, be great boon 10 business men and ths | public at large, to know that they cau transact business in the money order | and registration departments of the post office, during the hours the general de hvery is open-from : 30 a. no. to 6 P. m.

Even the Arab Loves his Desert
 Home,

In Alaska the life of the hardy miner and prospector is one of continuous toll and privstios. Here Tn AIlzona the burning sun, the desert sands and inc knife of the muTderous Apache have al been successfully faced, but m Alaska an almost eternal winter stands on watch and her great treasures remain securely locked in its icy clasp. Deserts and Indians may be annihI .Gted but the icy fields of Alaska will stand through the cycles of time.-ArIZOna CITIZEN

 Red and violet do not accord we'll
 Orange and yellow accord iucomparably better than red and orange.
 Green and blue produce an indifferent ef- fec-, but better when the colors are deep.
 Black never proluess a had effect when it is ass5ciatel with two luminous colors-
 Llae, when placed by the side of orange, inc-lases the lat-ers intensity, aud vice versa Green and violet. especially when light, form a combination preferable to green and blue.
 When two colors accord badly together, i: i5 always advantageous to separate them by white
 Red and blue accord pssssbly, especially fl the red incline rather to a scarlet than a crimson.
 Orange and green do not accord well Orange and violet accord paSSably, yet moi so well as orange and green
 While gray never exactly produces bad effect in its association with two luminous colcrs, yst, in most cases, its asSortments are dull
 Red and yellow accord pretty vel, e. pecialy if the red is purple red, rather than scarlet, and the yellow rather gresnish than orange
 Yellow and green form an agreeable eez- bination- The arrangement of yellow and blue Is more agreeable than thAt of yellow and green, but is les lively.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. / Ernest Nolde
the young man who attempted to destroy
himself at Atlantic City on Monday
night by putting 9 bullet through his
lungs, was brought TO this city last night
and taken to the Pennsylvania Hospital.
DR.. G. L. Bower dressed the wound and
found that the bullet had penetrated the
lung little above the heart. He found
II impossible to remove the ball.
"Who shot you'll" asked the Doctor.
