HALLOWEEN.

The world is a fairy ring which tra-
 dltlonally, as such, took it's birth 0ctO-
 Der 3lst, A. D. 6O7, which day IS re-
 garded as & christian festival and is called Halloween, because of its being
 the eve of All Saints Day, and takes its origin from the conversion, by
 Pope Bonefacio ", of the Pantheon, at Rome, into & christian place of
 wsrshlp, and it's dedication to the Vir- gin Mary and all the martyrs.
 Halloween possesses its manners, customs and traditions, as well as All Saints Day, although they are now seldom observed, and many of the nest quaint practices are almost fer gotten. Goldsmith tells III h,s "Vicar ot Wakefield" that the country folks rellSlously observed thls festival. In English-speaking countries one of the most common customs Is that of duck ing for apples The passion for prying into tuturity was one of the striking characteristics of our ancestors, and it was custom when the young wemen would know if thslr lovers were faith ful, to put nuts in pairs in front of the lire on this night, naming the nuts af- ter their lovers. If nut cracked or jumped the lever would prove unfalth- ful;df it began to- blaze or burn, he had regard for the person making the test. If the pair of nuts burned to- gether marriage of the couple would be sure to follow. Burns, Tn his poem of Halloween" has mentioned this custom. In the Isle of Man the festi- val of Sauin was formerly observed on this night by kindling fires, with many accompanying ceremonies to prevent the baleful influence o1 fairies and witches. In the north of Wales and Scotland there was a custom upon Halloween of making a great fire by every family, about the hour of mid night, in the most conspicuous place near the house, and when the fire was almost extinguished every one threw a white stone into the ashes, having first named it; then, having sand their prayers, turning around they went in to the house and retired. In the as soon as up, they searched for the stones, and if any one of them was found wanting it betided ill, pos sibly death, to the one whO threw it Tn before he sees another All-Saints' Eve.
 These are mere moioty of Hallo- ween observanees. They differ in diff ferent countries and are as varied as a dream.

A California judge has decided that a person can register up to the day of election in that State, and vote by a certificate. The election laws of Cali fornia are almost identical with those of Arizona and if the ruling above re- ferred to is sustained by the higher court there will be nc obstacle to the registration of voters up to the day of elect1en. The arbitrary law now in force sometimes works an injustice by depr1ving properly qualified voters of their right of suffrage when unavoid- able circumstances have censpired te prevent their registration within the time prescrIbed.-Florence Enterprise.

Arizona Is a Democratic Territory, and as far as our observation has gone, a large majority of our stockmen are of that political persuasion. Are they free-traders? Well, perhaps, as far as blankets, clothing, groceries and other necessary supplies are concerned. But how about cattle and other live stock which they ralse-do they want all restrictions on importations from Mex ice removed? Well, hardly! They have just succeeded in securing a quarantine proclamation from the Bureau of Agriculture against the ad- mission of Mexican cattle into Arizona, because of tbs alleged fear of the ln- troduction of splenic fever. We den t think there is much danger to be ap- prehended on that score, but at the same time are in favor of shutting out cheap Mexican cattle winch fetch the price of their hides and tallow, only. Good cattle are cheap enough for any body, in Southeastern Arizona, and there is no reason to go Inte Mexico fer scrub stock.
 The farmers of the Northeastern States feel the same way about com peting with Canadian products, admit ted free by the Mills bill.

THE NEW COPPER CONTRACTS.

The rBmered new agreement be- tween eths French copper syndicate and producers-partiss to the original contract-whlle lacking official confir- nation, Is believed to have been con- summated, although the details have net been definitely ascertained. The length of time that they are te run is variously stated at from nine to thir- teen years, which feature of the agree msnt would tend to give great strength to the copper situation, were it not fer the fact that the price to be paid pro- ducers has been advanced one-half cent per pound, or from 13c. to 135c. This would indicate determination on the part of the syndicate to firmly maintain, and probably advance still further, the price of copper.
 The curtailment of output is de- pended upon to prevent the further accumulation of stocks of copper which the syndicate must necessarily carry, and now estimated at 10000 tons, and which at present prices rep resents the enormous value of $40,- 100000 or mere, on which the month Iy loss in interest, at 4 pelBeent., is S133 333. This accumulation of cen per becomes each succeeding month of more serious concern, and it is evident that unless 1t can be prevented, the collapse of the corner, at ne very re- mote period, IS inevitable. The reduc- tion in the output of mines controlled by the syndicate is depended upon to remove this impending danger, and doubtless it will meet the emergency for time, but the high price of copper will continue to stimulate the devel- opment eff new mlnes; many small producers will begin to send forward thelr driblets of copper, which while of little consequence singly, yet com bined might become a serious menace to the syndicate's success.
 Phe present price of copper Q75O) has not been equalled since February, 1883. In June, July and August, 1886, and May and June, 1887, Lake copper sold in New York at 10c, the lowest price yet recorded.
 It is the opinion of many persons we'll informed on the situation, that it weuld be wiser in the syndicate to gradually reduce the selling price of copper to 12c or 12Ic, thereby encour- aging consumption, and checking the opening of new mines. At the same time the syndicate have conducted the corner fer year with marked success, in the face of the most positive pre- dictions of failure, and their command of the Situation is complete. Their plans have doubtless been worked out in detail for several years Tn advance, and every contingency considered. Therefore we are not disposed ts view the situation with alarm, but draw encouragement from the confident front presented by the syndicate.

organs We're undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly and could not
sleep. She bought of us bottle of DR..

it is possible that such conditions may,
in certain cases, originate it.
Insufficient nourishment, the NAL
arial poison, and insanitary surround
ings are predisposing causes to the
disease. Those suffering from scarlet
fever, measles, whooping cough, and
tuberculosis are also especially liable
to be attacked. AS in the case of
scarlet fever, mild cases, which in the
absence Of others more pronounced
it would be difficult to recognize as
due to the diph,herctic poison, may
give rise to malignant diphtheria in
more susceptible individuals, or in
those whose vital resisting power is
reduced by any of the causes men
toned.
Prophylaxis will demand complete
intercourse with the sick, avoid
ance of infected localities, and care
to exclude all persons and articles
coming from such houses from contact
with yourself or children. The dis
ease is often spread by though,less
persons who visit the sick room, and
even kiss the infected patients, and
then, without any precautions in the
way of disinfection, fondle healthy
children in other places, and perhaps
transmit by kiss the infectious ma
terial which has adhered to their lips
The possibility of transmission by pc,
animals is also to be borne in mind.

THE BAIRD MINSTRELS.

They Played to q $500 House Last
Night-Tho Troupe Not as Strong as
Last Year.
Baird's Mlnstrels appeared in Hal
ley Theater last night. The reserved
seats were all taken, and some were
even reserved twice. This caused
some confusion-whlch the manage
ment regrets and promises to avoid in
future. There was about $500 in
the house.
The troupe is not quite as strong in
ability as last year; but this is said to
be due to the fact that some special
lists who will be added soon have not
completed their contracts with other
shows. The band is really the best
part of Baird's Minstrels as at present
constituted. The expenses of the
company while on the road, exclusive
of hall rent. advertising, printing,
rent of accessories at show. towns,
ETC., averages 5000 per day.
1t is stated for fact that all these
big shows either actually lose money
on Wood River, or carry off small
profit indeed, as it does not exceed
80 to $50. In Bellevue and Ket-
chnm to "keep even" is the best the
troupes expect, but in HALEY is where
they make their profit. Strange as it
may seem,it costs from SO to $50
more to play in Bellevue than in
Haley, while the audiences at the
Gate City are usually one-third
smaller.
Most of the travelling combina
tons simply make convenience Of
