DiSarming an Unseen Foe.

''This was sometime paradox" as Hamlet says. Since, however, the peo pie of America and other lands have been enabled to pit Hostettei s Stomach Bitters against that unseen foe, malaria, it is no longer a paradox, but an easy possibility. Wherever malaria evolves its misty venom to poison the air, and decaying unwholesome vegetation i'm pregnates the water, there, in the very stronghold of miasma, is the auxiliary potent to disarm the foe and assure eff cient protection. Fever and ague, bill ious remittent, dumb ague and ague cake, no matter how tenaciously they have fastened their clutch on the sys- tenn, are first forced to relax their grasp and eventually to abandon it altogether. But it is its preventive force that should chiefly recommend the Bitters to persons dwelling in malaria-cursed localities, for it is certain buckler of defence against which the enemy is powerless. Cures, likewise. dyspepsia, rheumatism, kid ney and bilious ailments.

Few countries have a more brilliant and romantic early history than Arizona and New Mexico, and few countries are so fortunate as to have such painstaking and talented an historian as Hubert Howe Bancroft. For thirty years he has been gathering material and writing his history. He has searched every quar- ter of the world, expended in writing and in the publication of his work life time of toll and a million of money Thus the information contained in 50, 900 volumes was compressed into 39 vol umes.
 And until this volume was published the results of his vast efforts and expen- allure could only be purchased as a whole. But such large number of our people were so anxious to obtain this volume separate from the full set, that the publishers finally consented to de- viate from their former rule, and give this matchless production the widest possible circulation This will prove of the greatest benefit to our people, and of the highest qualification to the world at large, for there are few anywhere who are not interested in our wondrous story.
 The work IS deserving of the most llb- eral support. It should be in the hands of every man and woman throughout the land. AS author and historian Mir Bancroft is second to none living. Says the British Quarterly RevIew, "no his torian has more faithfully painted his heroes, both in light and shade, than Mir. Bancroft. In this he shows the rarest power, for he preserves relations and makes the more marked traits in the one emphasize and relieve the con trasted traits in the other." Indeed, the press everywhere are reviewing the work in the highest terms. The Boston Tray eler, of May 13, 1889, thus closes a col umn article: "The coming States of New Mexico and Arizona are under heavy ob legations to MT. Bancroft for this vol tune, which, without exaggeration, is the most valuable contribution of the year to American history"

folded on his chest, while his right was stretched out. with the pistol still in it's clutch; his thumb on the hammer and forefnger on the trigger. There were a great many other evidences, which we will not enumerate, going to show that Yourgblood had concocted story to suit himself, but was too stupid to make d plausible one. He should have fired Lang's pistol, or rather the one placed in Lang's hand. He should not have moved the body, and ought not to have had the blankets in the yard. when all the indications go to show they were in the house. Altogether his story is ex tremely gauzy and will not bear jnvesti- ga:ion
 Younglood and fellow named Ad- kins had a shooting scrape in Luna Val ley, New Mexico, last year with William in which the latter nearly lost his life.
 Youngblood had preliminary exam ination on Monday before Judge Ruiz, and was held to answer before the grand jury in the sum of $10,00O.

On the morning ot the Sth instant, Ygnacio Bazan, deputy sheriff at Sprin- gerville. came in with J. NJ. Youngblood, who had surrendered to him, claiming to have killed Thomas Lang on the after noon of the Eth, in self-delence. Young blood's statement of the affairis, in sub- stance, about as follows: He stopped at the Cienega, headquarters of the Twen- four-four Cattle Company, on his way to meet the roundup, and work with it from the Meadows south. He says there was no one around when he stopped !; that he unpacked his blankets. took them in the house, unsaddled his horse, hobbled his loose animals, and returned to the house. Had not been back long before Mir. Lang came in. That Lang asked him, what he was doing there. He told him that he wanted to stop over night; that he was on his way to the roundup. Lang told him he could not stop Several words passed between them, when Lang picked up his roll of blankets and threw them outdoors. That he then went to get his pistol and belt, which he had hung on chair, when Lang fired at him. As Lang was about to shoot the second time, he caught Lang's pistol with his left hand, and shot him. This is about the sub- stance of Youngblood's statement.
 Sheriff Creaghe summoned coroner's jury, and together with Alfred Ruiz, jus tice of the peace and acting coroner, re. paired to the scene of the killing, and made an examination of the body and premises. They found that Young blood's statement did not correspond with the appearance of the room in which the shooting took place. Lang was lying on his back, about the centre of the room, with hIs legs strengthened cut, his eyes closed, and his left hand

be bought for money. The only difference
is that the company is invariably made up
largely of persons whose names are familiar
to every boy and girl who reads the news
papers. The groups of the drawing room
are composed of eminent Judges, Cabinet
officers, great Senators,of prominent Repre-
sentatives, old in the service, their names
household words. Occasionally the Presi-
dent and his wife grace one of these assem-.
blies, and the Presidents wife may even at
rare intervals unbend so much as to dance,
as Mrs. Cleveland has done just once dur
ing her career in this city, when at Secre-
tary Whitney's she led in the german with
no less celebrity than the Hon. William
L. Scott as her partner.
At one of these great assemblies, when
the distribution Of cards has been more lib
eral than usual, one may stand in the street
in the small hours of the night, when the
company is breaking up, and hear practi-
cally the roll of all the high officials of the
land called out by the policemen and other
attendants whose business it is to order the
carriages as they are wanted.
FASCINATING SOCIETY.
This it is which makes Washington so-
ciety unique and fascinating, not that the
machinery is different, but that it it made

wealth and intellect, and that the personnel
is known to every one. Who cares to read
reports of society doings in any other city of
the country? In these familiar name Of
some lord of railroads or of the Stock Ex-
change, or of the grand bazaar, may occa-
sionally meet the eye, but here report of a
reception or dinner is a dash into the
inner life of man in whom every other
man, woman and child of the land has a
personal interest and claim.
Go to the theater in Washington. A
President and his friends occupy box. In
other boxes are Cabinet officers, diplomats
or other high officials. In the orchestra
chairs are others of the same set. Scat
tered about are many members of Congress.
Here and there is a white-haired Senator,
or member of the House of national renown.
An aged and digniied Judge of the Su-
preme Court laughs at the absurdities of
1.-The Henrietta, :" or weeps at the woes of
LA Tosca." When one whom we know,
famous person, Colossus of the forum, the
palace or the bench, is moved to weep, we
small persons must needs be interested and
laugh and weep with him. In the United
States you can have that pleasure brought
TO your door only in this Capital City.

mother would rather have her SON educated
for the army or navy than for the bar or the
church. Mothers with manageable daugh-
ters endeavor to make match with young
man of the army or navy. 1t does not make
any difference whether he has cent or not.
They have the money and the young man
will have the social standing and a sure
thing on society all his life, provided he be-
have himself half way decently, if he does
not get drunk too openly or too often carry
on his Illicit relations in the very eyes and
ears of his social circle.
The reign of the Cabinet circle is neces-
sarily brief, and its members must make a
brilliant sortie for fame. They rub up
close to the right side of the "first gentleman
and the first lady of the land" they are not
forced to have their every movement
scanned, and they cut great figure at the
head of the social circle of the first class.
CABINET DAY.
The Cabinet Day is the most important of
the social days of the week, and is reported
with the greatest of particularly by the So
ciety correspondents. Next in order comes
the day of the Supreme Court, then the
Senatorial Day, and common Representa-
tives are so low in the social scale that they
are not allotted any special day, but al
lowed to choose as individuals what time
they Will receive, which day is graciously
and conspicuously noted in the society col
umns of the local press. The Cabinet cir
Gle takes in the high-up foreign diplomats,
the flower of the army and navy, citizens Of
wealth and blood and the pick and
choice of the Court, Senatorial and House
circles.
But there is fast growing tendency to
crystalline the various classes, and it is
plain that il will not be long before IL will
be as difficult for those who are not bred to
fashionable society Of the most ultra kind,
with that conspicuous veneering than can
not be mistaken, to penetrate to the upper
class as it is for the rough and ready En-

GORGEOUS TURNoUTs.

GOhGEOUS TUHNOUIo.
It is brilliant scene that one may see on
the streets on days of formal calls. Mag
niicent blooded horses draw the most mag
nifcent of carriages, many OF the latter
bearing coats of arms. Some of the coats
of arms are on the carriages of Lord Smith
or Count Jones, of the leading foreign lega-
tions, but many are also seen on the panels
of the carriages of citizens not in Office,
blooded officers Of the army or navy, or rep
resentative officials who have Joined in the
fad of late years to trace their lineage back
to some family which was entitled to armor-
ial bearings. On many of the residences of
these people coats of arms are conspicuously
displayed, and on their walls hang family
trees far-spreading as the cedars of Lebanon.
Magniicently clad ladies lounge in these
carriages, languidly alighting here and
there at dwelling where society DEGREES
they must pay their dues or be counted out
of the swim. Gorgeously dressed liveried
footmen open the doors of the carriages and
ring the bells of the elegant residences, and
coachmen tricked out with gold belts and
gold lace and cooked hats almost as daz-
zling as the unequaled majordomos who
stand in front of the old palaces of Genoa
and Rome, sit up stiff and naughty on their
seats, superior even as the coachmen and
grooms of these splendid people. to the
open-mouth citizens whose nearest approach
to society is to see these street movements of
the queens of the highest social circle.

dozen different points, and looking the

but to tell what direction from the Capitol

The Future of the National Caplrnl.,


If the past of Washington is interesting,
if the present is absorbing, the future must
assuredly be maker of concern and curios-
ity. 1t is now called the prettiest city of
the world by visitors who profess to have
seen the cities of the world. 1t is certainly
pretty in its wide, smooth streets, it avenues
of trees, which flourish as trees do not in
any other city have seen, the broad rivers
that almost surround it, the picturesque
scenery of its suburbs and the variety of Its
architecture. This last is not particularly
superior in its artistic qualities, generally
speaking, but its very variety lends the city
at large pieturesqueness that is not found
elsewhere, except in some of those rare old
cities of the East, quaint in projecting stor-
les, oriel and dormer windows, and rich in
that color which can only come with age.
One forbidding feature, however, is the
broken and struggling character of the
edifces which line the streets The older
shanties, novels and cheap dwellings,
especially north and west, are being rapidly
uprooted by the better class OF dwellings,
ranging from the comfortable house worth,
with its lot, 81, 900 or 5000, up the edifce
which ofitself is worth 800, 900. But the
streets are not filed with these.
SIDE BY SIDE.
Beside the mansions of the wealthy are
often found the novels occupied, If not
