Thoughts for the New Year.
BIZ MRS. ]. b. FARR

How strange it seems to add another
unit to the date of the year, How many
of us have thoughtlessly penned the old
figures, 1888, as if 10th to let them go!
1t takes time to train our hands to use
the new ones. There is a sadness about
it all, Tor it seems as if an old friend had
been wrested from us, and we feel like ex-
claiming:

'1'm sorry for the accident but that

A Prestidigitateur Works.

Only of late years has the talent OF
the prestidigatateur been recognized by
society and the public. A successful
professional does an amount OF work
and undergoes training that is a
marvel. To do trick, and do it we'll,
demands years of the hardest practice.
Dexterity is acquired only by continual
and ever repeated experiences. The
musician who plays and replays mis-
pieces for hours every day, and the
engraver who spends month upon a
picture hardly an inch square, are the
only ones who may be compared with
the magician as to daily toll. For years
l practiced for ten hours day before
a mirror and even at the present mo-
ment devote some time every day to
keeping my hand in good shape. Herr

Indian Scalps in Demand.

A Chicago hair dealer says: eff you
know where I can get any Indian
scalps shall be obliged to you for that
Information. Indian scalps, like buffa-
10 heads are becoming mighty scarce.
You never can account for peoples
tastes. Now, about the last thing in
the world that some people want is an
Indian scalp, and yet there are people
who want just that sort of curiosity. I
had an Indian belt not long ago which
had nine scalps hung to it, and I sold
it to a man on the north side for $35. /
have bunch of hair here-it isn't a
scalp, as there is no skin attached to it,
just handful, as it were. It is worth
S.. Indians are not scalping as much
as they used to, and that is why scalps
are high. In fact, everything which
Indians used to mike is becoming
scarcer and more valuable. Take the
common Indian basket that used to
sell for So dozen, now you can't get
one for that money. There are two
reasons for this. One is that travellers
buy them first hands as curiositles and
pay the Indians just what they ask.
Another reason is that since the gov
eminent has got to taking such inter-
est in Indians taking care of them, the
Indians are lazier than ever and make
less than formerly.

THE ARIZONA KICKER.

~ q SAt -
Have Got Few.-A correspondent
inquiries if The Kicker has any libel
suits on hand, as the result of its indie
pendent and outspoken course Well,
yes, it has a few-about four dozen,
we believe, but we are not worrying
any. They have all been instituted by
second-class ducks, who haven't any
character to be damaged, and the
whole batch will probably be thrown
out of court in a lump some day. In
the beginning of our career libel suit
used to give us the collie for three DAYS
and nights, and we'd wake up from
troubled sleep to fluid our cheeks wet
with tears. but we soon got sunburned.
Indeed, we rather prefer to see them
come 1t looks like business.
Might have been the professor.
Ever since we took possession of our
Office on Sioux avenue certain people
have taken a malicious delight in
heaving rocks at the doors and
through the windows at midnight We
put up with it the first six months be-
cause we were afraid, and the next six
because we liked to see people enjoy
themselves. Then we warned the pub
lie to let up or somebody would get
hurt. Last Wednesday night rock
weighing three pounds came through
window and barely missed our head as
we lay sleeping on our cot. AS we got
to the door with a shotgun some one
could be seen making off over the COM
mons towards Elkins' Saloon. We
drew on him and pulled trigger, and
something uttered a yell.
Yesterday the body of Prof. jenkins
was found in the sagebrush about two
miles from town, and it was plain that
he died of a dose of buck-shot in his
back. Just as likely as not he was the
chap we fired at in the darkness. We
didn't owe him any particularly grudge,
and we didn't know that he did us, and
we are willing to foot half the burial
expenses at Il venture.
A base coward. -The item in the
Chicago press of recent date that we
had been fatally wounded by a Judge
for publishing a SANDER was not ex-
actly correct. In the first place, the
individual was a cowboy named Rose.
In the next place the article was true,
and in the third place, after he had
fred five shots at us without touching
hair, we knocked him silly with a
squash which we picked up in front of
Snyder's grocery. Then we stood on
him for about half an hour, and when
he went out of town, our brindled dog
was chasing him at speed of twenty
miles an hour.

A Promising Son.

Texas can claim the championship
for the most precocious child. Tim
Kennedy, jr., the infant son of an Aus
tin gentleman, asks the most perplex-
ing questions, although he is only a
little over two years old.
Eat what o'clock, papa, was born?"
asked this infant phenomenon.
"About one O. clock in the afternoon,
my son.
''Why, pa, that's not possible. You
are always down town at that hour of
the day."
The bewildered parent did not reply,
but made up his mind to enter the boy
at the University of Texas as soon as
the session opens.-Ie1as Sytings.

WEIGH TURNS UP.

SAN FRANCISCO, CaL., July 12.-
Steamer Acapulco arrived here this af-
ternoon from Panama, having on board
number of officers of the steamer
Greneda that was wrecked south of
Matanzillo, Mexico, June %. The cap
tain of tine Grenada, the first engineer,
seven of the crew and two passengers re-
manned near the scene of the wreck.
The officers decline to give asdetailed ac-
count of the running down of the
steamer, but by statements made by
passengers it is not learned that any
trouble arose among the latter during the
wreck.
On board the Acapulco was found
Maurice WEIGH, former friend of Dill
lon s, and who shipped as a sailor from
this port on the last trip of the steamer
South A recent Chicago dispatch stated
that it was a picture of WEIGH that had
been identified by several persons there
as the suspect Simonds, who appeared in
the Cronin case as the man VINO bought
the Carlson cottage furniture. WEIGH
manifested marked interest IN the re-
cital of the Croniu case. but he denies
that he had any connection with 1t.
BEGGS MUST STAY IN JAIL.
CHICAGO, ILL. July I2.-Judge Hor-
ton of the criminal court to-day heard
arguments for and against the issuance
of writs of habeas corpus looking to the
release of John F. Beggs on bail. Beggs
is chief officer of Camp 20, Gamma
Gael, and is under indictment for con-
spiraoy to murder DIR. Cronln. The ar
guments were concluded this afternoon
and Judge Horton declined to issue the
writ, holding that the Indictment was a
sufficient presumption of guilt to war
rant holding CT the prisoner without bail.
He did not require the state to disclose
the evidence On which the Indictment
was found. 1t was claimed that the ap-
plication was partly with view to learn
what evidence the state has in order that
it might be used to assist Martin Burke,
now held for extradition at Winnipeg, in
his fight against being returned to the
authorities here.
BURKE WILL BE EXTRADTTED.
OTTAWA, ONT. July 12.-It is now
settled beyond doubt that the govern
ment will grant the application of Presi-
dent Harrison for the extradition of
Burke for the alleged murder of DR..
Cronin. The report of Judge Balm has
not vet arrived at Winnipeg and it is
open for Burke's counsel to apply for a
writ of habeas corpus, fifteen days being
allowed for that purpose in order that
Judge BAN IS decision may be reviewed.
1t is rumored that such action will not
be taken.

an inferential reflection on the manage
ment of the American commissioners
Office at the Paris exposition. Secretary
Tracy, from his new home, so conven-
lent TO the presidential mansion, called
to assure the president that he had not
yet received any official report of the diff
fculty between Admiral Kimberley and
Capt. Mullin of the Nipsie.
Secretary Noble had several matters OF
Importance in regard to the new states,
and also with respect TO sundry severely
criticised appointments in his depart
ment, about which he wished to speak.
Their way naturally led them through
the operators room. It was not their
fault if some whisperings of the result
of the contest reached their ears, and
probably none of them was much shocked
if he did learn something about the way
the Boston slugger got away with the
Baltimore pet.
But what Wanamaker was doingfthere
was an interesting problem, which none
of the White House employees seemed
able to solve. Monday is the president 8
off day. No postoffice matters were be-
fore him. The only assumption Tentured
upon is that WanamakeP called to in-
quire If the president had quite recovered
from the fatigue of his trip from Wood
stock, and if he accidentally heard any
thing about the fight he probably stored
it away as ammunition to be used on his
next Sunday -sohooEtrip to Philadelphia.

WEDDING RINGS.
Why They Are Not Worn After the Days Of
the Honeymoon are Over

the Honeymoon are Over
New York World.
If marriage is not a failure there ism It
a question as to the Indifferent regard in
which the wedding ring is held. Even
the jeweler has semi-contemptuous way
of presenting the tray of plain gold bands
and a tantalizing preference for dismal
tunes, which he huns or whistles softly,
but none the less significantly, as he
makes a note of the initials to be in
scribed. Very young brides wear the
yellow band, but in swell circles young
married ladies have the bravado to lay
aside the emblem of undying love as soon
as the honeymoon is over.
Among the older wives the ring is dis
carded altogether, and if you inquire
about it the matron viii calmly tell you
It'll such an questionable piece Of jewel
~ to be obliged to wear, and as a result
the Young lady daughters in the family
are married with seal ring, not one of
which can be procured for the paltrJ 81
the price of the yellow band. Emeralds,
rubies and turquoise, set in small but
brilliant diamonds, are popular as we'd
ding jewels, and not few bridegrooms
have welded their ideal with mar
quise of diamonds. A bride of
month ago was married with a serpentine
ring, composed of two snakes exquisitely
carved, each with a precious jewel in its
head. To show the low degree of entEu-
siasm for the time honored symbol of

WONDERS OF A MIRAGE.
Professor WiIloughby of Alaska Produces a
Picture of an Aerial City.

Professor WiIlOughby of Alaska Produces a
Picture of an Aerial City.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. July IA won
derful photograph of an Arctic mirage
has just been received from Professor
Richard d. Willoughby, the pioneer
miner scientist of Alaska. 1t was taken
at Glacier Bay and represents a mysteri-
Gus aerial city. The view is apparently
taken from some spot on a hill.
In the foreground is a graveled walk,
a stone fence, rustic seat and child at
play. Beyond the stone wall are the
roofs of houses with clumps of trees at
the sides. In the distance are the half
completed towers of a cathedral and sew
eral tall public buildings, while far
away, enveloped in what appears to be
cloud like atmosphere, are tall smoke
stacks aud towers of churches. The style
of architecture is decidedly modern.
A hundred people or more were shown
the photograph yesterday. Some re-
garded it as a fraud, while others be-
lieved it the genuine Photographic result
of mirage. The mysterious town has
been named the Silent City The best
informed people in San Francisco say the
picture may be that of Victoria, b. c.,
Halifax or Montreal-most likely the
latter, as there is a cathedral there re-
sembling the one in the view. Some
Photographic experts think that the pic
ture was produced by trick similar to
the So called spirit photographs. This,
however, Is stoutly denied by those who
know Professor Willoughby. He was
the first American who found gold in
Alaska, and for fifteen years has been
prominent resident of that territory.
