Why Fowl Should Not be Eaten ImmedI-
atey After They Are Killed.
Peopleaccustomed to fowl and other
meats bought in the mar kets are apt to
be disappointed in the quality of the
chicken they raise themselves with
gs<sts0re and expectation. To their
srprise they find it not so tender and
oiess delicate flavor, and pleasant an
ticpations of rewards of country or
suburban life are to this extent cruelty
crashed. The principa! reason is, the
unipe condition in which home
dressed fowl is almost invariably
cooked. Caterers who appreciate the
advantage Of pleasing their customers
donot serve theinwith recently slaugh-
tered meats. Epicures prefer that all
meats, especially fowl and game, be
kept as long as possible without be-
coming actually tainted.
i lady will provide a suitable re-
frigerator and ripen the meat before
she cooks it, she will learn with expe-
rlehce tnaJ an old fowl well rlpened Is
a dalntier morsel than the finest chick
unjust slain. One reason, and very
potent one, why Western-dressed beef
iscrowding domestic meats out of our
local markets is that it is more thor
ougnly ripeued. Our local butchers
do not provide themelves with
the means of perfecting their
meats before putting them into
the retail markets. while the others
come to them already much improved
by time. Immense quantities of meat
were formerly sold the same day it
was slaughtered, and while still unfit
for food for any body but savages.-O.

A PALACE OF SHORES.

Architect utter Piled On the Art on Mr.. John
A. Morris's Bedroom.
New York Sun.
About seven years ago John A. Morris
hired architect Manly Fl. Cutter to add a
bedroom to his summer cottage at Throgg's
Neck. The contract was that the addition
should be made while Morris was away in
Florida. and the singular feature was. so it
is alleged, that Mr.. Morris required that the
room should be so constructed that it would
be impossible for any body else In the house
to hear shores, in case the occupant of the
bedroom should happen to snore. The only
means of access to the room was to be q lit
tie door leading from the bathroom, and
the walls were TO be deadened. He wanted
the room finished artistically, and, so he
says, agreed to pay 5000 for the complete
job.
Architect Cutters first work was to in
vent a sort of a conductor contrived to
carry snores out through the roof. The
work wasn't nearly completed, SO Morris
found that $4,000 had already been ex-
pended on the work. A new structure of
brick and stone was Icing added to the
cottage, with an arched facade, supported
by solid pillars. A chimney nifty feet high,
with q hearth-stone weighing two tons. was
one of the details of the addition. Morris
also found. so he alleges. that the architect
had arranged for a carved frieze to the bed
room, and windows of Venetian stained
glass, Win aiieRoIlcai pictures Inc Datn-
room was to be domed and finished in
~hand-painted embossed leather, with win
dows of opalescent ieweled glass. Incl
dentally there was to be a closet with q
tiled floor and a shoe-box CT polished slate
in one corner. In the wall was to be built
a cabinet wardrobe. with wall ornaments
of hammered brass and antique bronze.
The whole alterations would require an ex-
penditure of S27. 600.
Mr.. Morris ordered further artistic work
stopped, and directed that the job be
finished with the materials already at hand.
Then he ordered his lawyer to sue arch;-
tect Cutter for $4,000 damages. This suit
Cutters counter suit for 81, 200 for fees was
pressed. He set up the defense that Mrs.
Morris had insisted upon the artistic trans
formation of the cottage. The suit dragged
through the courts for six years, and now
the Court of Appeals has decided that it
must be tried over again. Cutter got a
verdict at the first trial.

Robert Kissack. the thirteen-year-old boy
who disappeared from his home. 1923 Chest
nut street, ON Monday morning, has re-
turned after q series of stirring adventures
in the far West. Unfortunately his ardoT
was very much dampened on the first night
by the heavy rain.
The story of his adventures. in substance,
is as follows: On Monday be set out 10
school with his books under his arm and a
pair of shoes, which were to be left al
Twenty-ninrh and Olive streets for
repairing. The lad took the shoes
there and asked the shoemaker how soon
they would be finished. The man told
him the next day. Kissack said. "All right;
i will leave my books here for awhile"
and away he went. From the shoe shop he
drifted down town with his $50 of savings
in his pocket. After knocking about the
streets he went to the Simmons hardware
store and bought himself a rife for So and
some cartridges to go with it. Then be
to Grand avenue. Then he took a train and
went to Creye C9ur lake. Upon arriving
at the lake he went into the woods to hunt,
and killed some rabbits. but. during his
wanderings, got lost. All of Monday nigh,
he was out In the rain, n Tuesday morn
ing he DUN q farmhouse. where they
dried his clothes and cleaned his rifle,
Then he tramped off again until he reached
Union City, Mo-, where he decided that he
would just as soon come home, so he did,
arriving this morning.
The trip cost him 81. as he had $23 of his
money when he got back.

Indian News.

Hon. Claud M. Johnson, agent at Sac aton of the Pima agency has been in PheniI for several days trying to un- ravel the murder of the Indian Louis, some days ago near Tempe, and hopes, through the Indians themselves, to dis cover his murderers.
 To Phenix reporter he reports affairs at Sacaton in a prosperous condition. The Indians have this year large crop of wheat, with considerable barley, mel ons and pumpkins. Some of their pro ducts are sold at Florence and Casa Grande, the United States government furnishing some fifteen to twenty wagons yearly for use of it's wards.
 Altogether some 110O0 Indians are in- eluded within Agent Johnson's jurisdic- tion; $500 Pimas at the Gila reservation, 400 Maricopas on Salt river and over 1000 Papagos scattered from New Mex ico to California, south of the Gila river. In looking after so many widely dis persed Indians the agent is compelled to take long journeys about the desert, but he always tries to go wherever any dis turbance is reported between stockmen, miners and Indians. At the agency headquarters, an Indian court, consist ing of three Pimas, settles their petty disputes, generally to the satisfaction of all parties. During the school season there are thirteen employees at Sacaton. The boarding school burned last Noyem Der will probably be rebuilt this year, when TO or more children of both sexes can be instructed. At the Tucson school eighty-five Pimas are taking a three years course, while ninety more are at Albuquerque.
 Agent Johnson considers the Indians capable of great improvement. The children are willing to attend school, and, during his administration of about fourteen months, he has noticed an in creased interest in agricultural effort and ip the attainment of better modes of living.
 The agency now has an effective sys- tenn of water works, operated by steam.
 Drunkenness is the great evil to be re- sisted. The Indian is gregarious in his bibulOsity, and a crowd wants to fire itself with whiskey altogether. At such times several are generally killed, and white people, if isolated, are liable to be attacked and outraged. Agent Johnson thinks the press should endeavor to arouse public opinion that no one would think of supplying alcohol to these poor savages, who can be so much bettered if only that enemy IS withheld.

DEMOCRATIC F1NANCIERING.

On examination of the Treasurer
 books it was ascertained that there were
 s74,o GOO of outstanding warrants against
 the General Fund and that the fund
 itself was overdrawn S2.400, which. talk ing into consideration the interest due
 on these warrants, would make the in
 debtedness fully sS0,OOO in access of in- come.
 AS shown by Treasurer Buffers re- port of December 31st, 1886, he turned over to his successor Foster S57,000 in the General Fund-this Fosters report also shows-and there were no outstand- ing warrants. ByFoster's report of date of Deer. 31st, 1888, the warrants outstand- ing were s36,025, with s12, ,8S3 cash in the general fund, thus leaving the Territor- ial floating debt less than 1000, yet in three months 1t ran up to S74,0O0. De cember 31st, 1886 the general fund held to the credit of the Territory was s57.- 200. March 3l, 1889 this same fund had been oyerdrawn to the extent of s84 900 | a cool difference of s131 200.

Governor.

THERE is not much tin on the Ameri- can continent, but in the midst of the Sierra Madres is a mountain called "Estaneros." meaning the tin workers. On that mountain the spaniards worked tin lodes for upwards of 175 years. That region alone with the stream tin found each rainy season, furnished re- spectacle supply for export to Spain, be- sides supplying all the tinsmiths at that time in this country. The spot of the location of Estaneros mountain is con- spicuously marked on an old map made from surveys of 1895 to 1713. This map divides Mexico into vice-royalties or Military departments.-El Paso Herald.
 There IS not only tin there but quartz veins carrying free gold, veins of pure metallic silver abound, and lead and iron ores are in great abundance. The greatest plac CT diggings ever known are there, and within the heart of this great range who knows what other riches may exist only awaiting the com ing of American brawn and muscle to tear it from its rocky embrace. The railroad from Deming will skirt along tho eastern slope of the Sierrs Madres and will open up the miners and pros pectors of Grant county an opportunity that has long been looked for and will be eagerly taken advantage of.-Dem- ing Headlight.
