The Public Schools or Arizona.

Extracts from the very voluminous
forth coming report of Hon. G. NJ. Strauss,
for the year ending December 81, 1888,
is now before us, and from which the fol-
lowing interesting substance is given. The
progress made within the past two years,
and the present prosperous condition Of
the public schools in Arizona are subjects
of congratulation To all friends Of educa-
tion.
During the last six years the number Of
schools have increased about eighty per
cent, the average daily attendance has in
coeased about fifty per cent, and the num-
ber OF teachers employed has increased
one hundred per cent. The superinten-
dent says, "the increase in the number Of
schools being solargely in excess of the
number Of average daily attendance is
certainly an evidence that the people have
intended to furnish facilities necessary for
q common school education to all locali-
ties without reference to the number OF
inhabitants.
The entire number OF schools In the ter
ritory are put down at 1S4, with an aver
age daily attendance Of 6,617, of which
1894 are boys and 3,l52 are girls. Odd
as it may appear, the boys outnumber the
girls by 81. This is contrary to the gen.
eral custom but we presume the differ
enee is chargeable upon the climate for
which Arizona il so famous. II this ex-
PLANTATION is not satisfactory then credit
Dame Nature with wisely providing sur
plus of males to meet the larger death rate
common to that sex in the frontier terri
tories. "

swindled by sprinters.

A peculiar sprinting contest, by which
M. l.. Boner, young cattle-raiser OF
Arizona, was neatly duped, was brought
to light yesterday by the arrest of William
Ross and Charles Ellsworth, on charge
OF grand larceny. Boner made the ac-
quaintancc Of Ellsworth and Ross soon
after boarding an Atlantic & Pacific train
at Kinginan, A. T. During the trip TO
this city the three young men became the
best OF friends. Ross was bringing the
remains Of bis brother to this city for
interment, and Boner's sympathy for
him was quite manifest. Upon arrival
here Boner and Ellsworth became
chums, and took rooms at the st. George
Hotel. After they had taken in the town
for several days Ellsworth impaired the
information 10 his companion that Ross
was so anxious to run him race that he
was willing to bet s400 against si25.
Ellsworth said he did not have any money
Of his own, but he was certain Of defeating
Ross, and il was a sure bet il Ross would
put up the money. Boner accordingly
placed 1925 in the hands of Ellsworth,
and a I00-yards race was arranged. Last
Wednesday the contestants, Boner and
several men who are unknown to Boner,
assembled at the Bay District track.
The preliminaries were soon arranged,
and the young cattle-raiser felt highly
fattered and delighted when he was
selected judge. At the word "go" Ross
and Ellsworth started off well together,
but Ellsworth had not covered ten yards
of the course before he fell down, and
Ross skipped merrily TO the finish. Ross
claimed that he had fairly won the con-
test, while Boner was certain that he
had not. The sprinters finally decided to
declare the race "no CO." and agreed to
meet at the track at 10 o'clock the next
morning, and run 1t over. 1t is needless
to state that Boner was on hand ut the
appointed time and impatiently awaited
the arrival Of the others. They did not
show up, however, and after cooling his
heels for nearly two hours, he started in
quest Of his friend Ellsworth. At the
hotel he was surprised to discover that
Ellsworth had departed. with bis valise,
the night before. After searching two
days for the foot-racers, it suddenly
dawned upod Boner's mind that he had
been swindled. He then proceeded TO
the Police Court and swore out warrants.
From the description given by the young
Arizonan, Detectives Handley and Silvey
recognized the sprinters on Market Street
and locked them up on the charges stated.

MINOR MATTERS.

Ex-Secretary Endicott Thinks We VIII Need
an Extension of Civil-Service Rules.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-Ex-Secretary En-
1icott. in company with his successor, Sec
rotary Proctor, called on the President this
afternoon for a few minutes. He after
wards talked quite freely with q Star re-
porter. He said he felt relieved at being
once more a private citizen, and added: Il
feel as any handwriting man would natur-
ally feel when his load has been lifted or
his task taken away from him. The Presi-
dent does not seem TO be looking very well;
he evidently needs rest. / had not seen
him since the morning of the 4th of March,
and be has the appearance of a man thor
Oughly tired; he necessarily must be so.
The American people put too much strain
on their Presidents. The work ought to be
delegated, and the time is near at hand
when it VIII have to be. Dur great need is
a more extended civil service. This is the
only government where there is a scramble
for otice-undigniied, ,unpatriotic-7and
until the tenure is made secure and the
places filled with good men, the President
will be overburdened. Look at England.
There Is a free government, and there the
men who desire TO enter the employ of the
government are tested thoroughly, and if
found competent are offered every induce
ment to stay in the service. Within the
lifetime of the generation now being born
there will be In this country all army of
officials 800, 900 strong. Then the civil serv-
ice will be a necessity, and then the Presi-
dent will have to be relieved of this drudg-
cry of appointments by heads of depart
ments and bureaus, because no one man
will be able to do the work. The reform
would not commence too soon If it were put
into operation at once"
