vh. Would Be 1n.ururated.

Query.-Whether Levi P Morton, vice president-elect, can take the presidents chair, If Harrison was to die to-morrowi
 If the president-elect should die before In- auguration Day, the vice president-elect would be inaugurated, and act as president, but if the qualified electors had not cast their votes, the case might be different, as the cleo tors can vote for whom they please. In the case of Horace Greeley, congress decided that the electors could not vote for a dead man and so the three votes for Greeley from Geor- gia were not counted. The other Democratic electors divided their vote thus: For Thomas A- Hendricks, 42; for B. Gratz, Brown. IS; for Charles J. Jenkins, g.; for David Davis, 1. Accepting this precedent it follows that if Harrison should die before the electors act in February, the Republican electors could choose Morton or any other man; and if they should divide. the election would,fall to the house of representatives. In other words, the people do not elect . president; that is done by the electors

The Lower GiIa.

From W. A. McGinnis, who is the engineer in charge of the construction work for the St Louis company, now owning the Mohawk canal, the South Gila ditch, the South Gila canal and the Agua Caliente springs, the report CT has gained considerable information. MT. McGinnis spent several days in this city, visiting his family, and re- turned to his work last night. He states that the South Gila Ditch will be completed for a distance of 25 miles by the 10th instant. It has bottom width of 10 feet at the head and for several succeeding miles, and of feet at the end. It will carry 10000 inches of water, and considering that it is in the Gila river bottom it is thought that it will reclaim 10000 acres of land. The colony which recently ar rived has prepared large area of land which will certainly be brought under cultivation the present season. A number of nice houses have been put up. The town of the colony will be Christoval, which will shortly be sur veyed.
 The survey of the South Gila canal which will be B miles in length and cover about 140, GOO acres of mesa land will begin in few days.
 The company also contemplates the erection of fine resort hotel at the hot springs on this side of the river at an early day. This is a fine show ing for the western end of our county -Arizonan.

A Disgrscefu. Scene.

A Washington dispatch of March 3d, gives the following particulars of disgraceful scene in the senate that has no parallel in the history of that dignified body. It says:
 Senator Riddleberger of Virginia was elected from the Senate Chamber to- night. The thronged galleries ap- plauded vigorously as the sergeant-at- arms of the Senate and one of his principal deputies seized Riddleberger at the command of the President pro tenn, MT. Ingalls,, and forced him from his desk, to. which he chung, and push ed him into the cloak-room whence he was taken to a safe retreat Riddle berger has been under the influence of liquor for some time. Tonight h was unusually ugly and kept the floor almost continuously objecting to the transaction of all kinds of business Ingalls, ignored his interruptions and several bills were discussed and passed. On Riddleberger hiccoughing his ob' iections, Ingalls, announced that he declined to recognize the Senator from Virginia further, and Riddleberger sank back into his chair and was quiet for a moment. In a short time he was again on his feet obstructing bus mess.
 The crowds in the gallery were amused st the spectacle. A number of Senators went to Riddleberger to calm him. Butler of South Carolina spoke to him and urged him to be in order Vest of Missouri next tried to quiet him. Then Sherman made an effort to bring him to his senses. Eoar tried little New England persuasion. Then Teller of Colorado whispered q few words, but Riddleberger paid no heed to these friendly counsels.
 After Ingalls, refused to recognize him further, he telegraphed to Govern or Lee of Virginia his resignation and then took the floor again to interrupt business. Ingalls, then directed the sergeant-at-arms, Colonel Canady, to remove the Senator from Virginia from the chamber. Canady and a deputy advanced. Canady placed his hand on Riddleberger's shoulder and whispered word. Riddleberger shook his head, and then Canady pushed him slightly toward the cloakroom Riddleberger then seized his desk ana clung to that. The sergeant and his stalwart deputy then forcibly ejected him from the chamber, and took him tc some safe place to recover hls senses The Senate proceeded to transact 1t! business as soon as this disgracefu scene WAS ended
 Riddleberger, when removed to tn, cloakroom, quieted down, and afte about quarter of an hour left thu Capitol for his hotel in the compan, of friend.

Sister Fannfe's Marriage.

Charles McAbe, aide-de-camp, and Lieutenant annie Lawson thereupon arose, and accompanied by Rev. Thomas Lawson. the brides brother, and by Capts. Finally and Miss Keefe, stepped forward. The clergyman per formed the ceremony in few words, but the gallant officer proved sorry bridegroom, for when told to put the ring on his brides finger he did not know which was the correct member, and to add to his dereliction of plain duty he was so ungallant as to neg lect to salute his bride. Nor did the clergyman act any better. At one juncture it looked as though the bride groom had screwed up his courage to the kissing point, but it failed him and the fair bride took her seat un- saluted.-S. F. Chronicle.

 And the day Is like the night For their vision is of other kind than QUITE. They do neither sing no- sigh

 But they rest within their bed,
 Leaving all their thoughts unsaid Deenfng silence better far than sob or song. No. theJ neither sigh nor sing,

Rank If Generat-

Washington, in the army register of 17so. Is set down as "commander-in-chief,n while in the register dated Jan. l, 1782, he is de- scrioed as general and dcommander-in-chief." !" The rank of general was revived by the act of July 24, 1868, under which Grant was pro noted on July %. Grant had previously, March 9, 1864, been promoted lieutenant gen erai, under the act of Feb. %, 1894 Sher man was promoted lieutenant general on July 25, 1866, when Grant ob- tained his generaicy; be was pro noted general March 4, 1869. Sheridan was promoted lieutenant general on the same day. As the grade of general had been limited by an act of congress to Sherman, and that of lieutenant general to Sheridan, the latter was not promoted when Sherman retired. In June last, however, a law was passed reviving the generalcy of the army, which was signed by President Cleveland at once; under it Sheridan was promoted on June 9, 1888. The rank became extinct on his death last July, the rank of lieutenant general having become extinct on his pro- motion. The highest rank of our army now Is that of major general commanding th g army

A cure for Round ssou,dsr..

Annie Jenness Miller, of dress reform fame, tells that she has seen a stepping figure and halting gait, accompanied by the unavoid- able weakness of lungs incidental to mar TOW chest, entirely cured by the very simple and easily performed exercise of raising ones self upon the toes leisurely in perfect per pendicular several times daily. To take this exercise properly one must take a.per- feet position with the heels together and the toes at an angle of 45 degs Then drop the arms hfelessly by the sides, aI.imating and raising the chest to its full capacity muscu- lnrly; the chin well drawn in. and the crown of the head feeling, as our professor used to put it, as if at tached to a string suspended from the ceiling above. Slowly raise upon the balls of both feet to the greatest possible height, thereby exercising all of the muscles of the legs and body; come again into the standing position, without swaying the body back ward out of the perfect line. Repeat this same exercise, first on one foot and then on the other It is wonderful what straight ening out power this exercise has upon round shoulders and crooked backs, and one will be surprised to note how soon the lungs begin to show the effect of such expansive devefopment

We are in receipt of letter from Geo. Scott, correcting a statement made in our columns. several weeks ago, about cotton growing wild on the San Pedro. MT Scott informs us that the boles left at our office by Mr. Red man were plucked from plants grow ing in his garden, and that he has raised cotton which produced 72 boles to the stalk, the stalks six inches apart. The plants were irrigated but only in- differently cultivated. MT. Scott adds, "I was raised where cotton is king, and I believe that the lands along the Colorado, Gila, Salt and San Pedro rivers produce as fine cotton as is raised in the Southern States, and as much or more to the acre.-Silver Belt.

Three G.x.rnnrs ato Once.

A Charleston, West Virginia tele- gram, dated March 4th, says:
 At noon to-day General Golf, the re- publican candidate for governor, and the claimant of the office, took the oath in one of the rooms of the State House set apart for the use of the governor, and about the same time, in another apartment, President Carr, of the Senate, also took upon himself the prescribed oath, and prepared to tran sact the business of the office, while in his private office F. w. Wilson, who hls filled the office for the past four years, continued to discharge his ac- customed duties, and in and about the State House there was gathered a tre- nlendous crowd of people, about equal ly divided between the two political parties.
 About 12:30 o'clock General Golf and several friends came into the Cap itol and proceeded to the private office of Governor Wilson, who was also sur rounded by his friends General Golf mounted a chair and addressed the OlONO hbICil Iltttt lSoClilOlCO III CliC room. He claimed that he had re- ceived clear majority of the votes cast, charged Speaker Woods of the House of Delegates with having failed in the performance of his constitution al duties in not declaring the result, and said: q am now ready, in the presence of these people of my state, to kiss the holy bible and commit my self to the destiny that awaits me by virtue of the partiality of my fellow citizens"
 The oath was then administered by H. c. McWhorton, after which General l Golf proceeded to Governor Wilson's private office and demanded possession Governor Wilson was surrounded by dense mass of his friends and party leaders. In reply to the demand he said he was of the opinion that the legislature, as coordinate department of the government, in joint assembly had exclusive jurisdiction to ascertain and declare the result of the election and no title could come from any other source. He felt it his duty t( continue in charge. President Car made a similar demand after taking the oath, and was similarly refused and thus matters stand.

Arizona Land Decision.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Commis- sioner Stockslager of the general land office, has rendered an important land decision in the Tumacacori and Gala bazas private land claim in Arizona, holding there is authority for restrain ing the survey of such claim for two reasons: First that the land being within Gadsden's purchase of 1853, is not operated upon by the act of July 22nd, 1884, and of the treaty of Gau- dalupe Hidalgo; second: that the preliminary survey" of private claim does not of itself operate as with drawal of surveyed lands from settle ment, and the entry in the cases in cured by said act of 1853 are legal, the withdrawal being only of lands actually claimed or which shall be legally claimed. Under this holding nearly three million acres of land in New Mexico and Arizona are in a state of unlawful reservation from settle ment. Nearly all private claims in Arizona are within the Gadsden pur- chase.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE

As Much Danger of Contagion from Diph-
 theria in Mild Cases as in Severe Ones.
 That diphtheria in all its forms is conta- gious seems to be an undoubted fact, and i'll se- were cases every precaution is taken to pre- vent it's spread. But the danger in mild cases is quite as great, from the fact that fewer precautions are generally taken A physician claims that what Is commonly called follicular tonsilitis in one patient may produce the severest kind of diphtheria in another member of the family.
 On this point Dr. Jacobi is quoted as fol- lows:
 What has been called follicular tonsilitis is mostly diphtheria. It is seldom dangerous to the patient, as the tonsls have but very little lymph communication with the rest of the body, but it is contagious. This form Is ire quent in the adult in whom it loses nothing, however, of it's contagiousnesa Diphtherla in the adult proves dangerous to the com munity, mostly because it does not restrain the patient from communicating the disease. It is apt to last long; First, because most cases occur on a surface covered with pave ment epithelium ttonsls); secondly, because of the constant exposure and neglect on the part of the patient Even without 1t. diph- theria may last weeks and more; with It, it Is subject to sudden relapses As long as 1t lnsts it is contagious As diph- theria Is but a mild affection in many adults, who disregard it and ire quently do not care to mention its existence, pain in swallowing and moderate malaiss be- ing the only symptoms the question of trans mission by means of clothing, etc., on the part of third persons is capable of becoming more difficult to answer than it ever was Many a case which has been believed to be thus carried is probably one of direct con tagion from 8 patient to 6 second person, from this second to a third.
 Another authority explains that the con tagion of diphtheria, scarlet fever. whooping cough and measles is due to microbes given of from the skin or breath of the patient They either float in the air of the room, or become attached to the furniture walls and bedding Infected rooms and persons should, therefore, be avoided; while attendants are advised to keep their stomachs in an active condition with digessible food, but should not overload them. Most microbes are digested and rendered harmless by vigorous stom- | ach-

Frank Cushing's find of vast cem- etery in Arizona bids fair to be of greater importance than was at first supposed. Over one hundred skulls being examined all prove to be the broad or round type and not one of the long or dolicho cephalic sort There are fragments and remains of arts and industries in the graves which enable scientists to reconstruct quite fairly the state of civilization of the natives of that land when the ceme- tery was in use. But most important of all, those who were sent on from Washington to aid MT. Cushing have discovered that in the jaw there is in- variably peculiarity almost unknown to our race. The problem of the an- cient population of our southwest now seems near solution.-St. Louis Globe Democrat

Horses For Sal
Our Desert Lands and Irrigation.

Every day the subject of irrigating lands for the purpose of cultivation is becoming more important. The gov ernment lands capable of cultivation without irrigation are being rapidly taken up by settlers, and the necessity of redeeming the arid plains is press ing upon us. The trials which have been made indicate that cultivation under proper system of irrigation is SO much superior to that which de pends upon the rains and dews of heaven that it is only question of time when the lately called desert lands will bloom,. blossom, and fruit beyond the hope of the yalleys'which wait upon the clouds. Many thous- ands of fertile acres are only waiting water to fit them for the plow of the | husbandnian. There Is pfvrTty vf- wa ter going to waste among the. noun tains and in the valleys. The only question is how shall 1t be saved and distributed. Private enterprise is do- ing much in this direction, but in many sections the expense involved is so great and the results to be obtained so large that it is believed that the na- tional government will have to under take the work or at least assist in it. As inhabitants multiply and consump- ton increases, the nation cannot afford to hold idle and useless lands which at comparatively small expense can be made productive, adding to the wealth and happiness of the people and to the strength of the nation.
 The question has already attracted attention in Congress and will doubt less occupy much thought and time in future legislative assemblies-Chi cago Inter Ocean.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Minor Morals of society-Unpunctuali

Minor Morals of Society-Unpunctual
 Causes Much Discord.
 Mrs. Sherwood discusses in The World some of the minor sins against the etiquette of good society, and among other things she says: Nothing Is more common than the i'm morality of keeping ones friends waiting. It Is tho privilege of few people In this world to be so fascinating and so worth wait ing for that we are all willing to be sufferers in this cause. The anticipated pleasure of seeing them when they do come is so great that we are willing and anxious to have that anticipated pleasure put off until they arc ready to appear. But the rest of us are not so fascinating It is a birth right of which we have been defrauded- and we find if we do keep people waiting thst we grow decidedly unpopular. and people can do without us very we'll Perhaps we keep a friend waiting who Is nervous about her horses; they take severe cold, be cause we are not ready at the hour appointed Does she call for us againi No; not unless we are unusually fascinating. We promise to play the accompaniment at 8 friends house for a singer. We are not punctual, and 250 people sit with the added anxiety which a postponement causes, and the whole music becomes discord because we are tardy.
 We intend to go to a reading, but we arc late and enter after the silence has fallen on the crowd. Perhaps we overturn a chair, and all the company is disturbed We promise to be present at 8 business meeting, where six or seven ladies, all as busy as bees, are waiting for us. We are late, and the six other ladies are defrauded of a day of time which is more precious than diamond dust The sands of the hour glass in our crowded lives are all diamonds We cannot afford to lose one of them.
 Among men tho business of being 'on time" is peremptory one, but in society and among ladies there is very decided and em- phatic wrong committed by inattention to this minor morality on which hangs so much. Rardworking people are apt to be irritable. and who works so hard as fashionable womens Therefore people who keep these hard workers waiting are apt to irritate.

Tho Abu.. of MIX in the Diet.

The advantages of using great deal of milk are very generally urged, but a Cana dian physician now claims that there may be an abuse of this usually healthful beverage It is especially contra-indicated in cases of acute rheumatism. In a number of cases cited, all the patients had been large drinkers of milk and their respective temperatures were over los. The pain was also extremely severe. They were put upon a diet of thin water gruel favored to taste and mixture containing ten grains of salicylate Of soda to be taken in half tumbler of weak lemonade every two hours till relieved. Inside of thirty six hours the symptoms had, in every case, almost entirely disappeared.
