1t is learned that s. Quale. who died
at Eau Claire a few weeks ago and left a
wish, but no will, that when his estate
reached the value Of 81, 900, 900 1t should
be used in erecting and maintaining in
Madison a hospital for ~cripples, said a
hort time before his death that he then
owned property which, If he could only
live to dispose of it, would net him
100000, but that If sold by others
would probably not bring more than
$500, 900. Thus it seems that some years
are likely to elapse before the cherished
hope Of the dead humanitarian will be
realized. Mr.. Quale's wife voluntarily
and with a perfect understanding signed
the deed before the death of her hus-
band, by which he conveyed all his
property to three trustees for manage
ment in accordance with his known
wishes, and it is given out thai not only
she but the other relatives are earnest
in their intention to see that the desires
Of Quale are carried out.-Milwaukee

Mrs. Arthur Stannard, the English
novelist and the author Of 'Bootles'
Baby" writes for three hours a day in a
little room which, with a bookcase, a
table and three or four chairs, leaves lit
tie space for intruders upon the sanctity
Of an author s den. At one time she had
a passion for china, and by the bookcase
there is some valuable crown Derby and
blue white. With the fiotsam and Jet
sam of friendship and acquaintance
photos and autographs, drawings and
cards-the mantelpiece is crowded, while
on the walls are some clever sketches
OF soldiers in the various uniforms of
British regiments. In a small cardboard
box is placed the manuscript of the novel
Mrs. Stannard is now writing, some of
the thick foolscap sheets having just
been filed up by her neat flowing calig-
raphy.
On the average Mrs. Stannard writes
about three pages a day, and several odd
sheets of paper lying on the table give
Indications of her method of work. She
never corrects a faulty sheet, but always
rewrites it. Before beginning a story
the plot is briefly written out, while on
another sheet Mrs. Stannard makes ex-
periments with the names of characters,
those names being finally chosen which
are most expressive and euphonious. At
Mrs. Stannard's elbow as she writes are
placed two well used volumes of Tenny-
son and Longfellow, her favorite poets.
With almost every line Of the bard of
''Hiawathn" she is familiar, and for
every feeling of depression she always
finds the antidote in his pages.-Ex-

1t is announced that st. Johns school,
which was founded a good many years
ago by DR.. Theodore Irving, anephew Of
Washington Irving, is to be removed to
THE Castle" at Tarrytown, In sight of
Sunnyside and the Sleepy Hollow Gem
etery. and very near to the old church
where Washington Irving used to wor-
ship and where he is buried.
The Castle is n lovely place, and
Mrs. Theodore Irving, who has con-
Quoted the school since her husbands
death, will be a charming chatelaine.
Mrs. Irving, by the way, was the founder
of the original order of Kings Daughters,
that great Christian organization which
has literally spread over all the earth.
1t began as "A little society among the
girls in DIR. Irving's school in Canada
seventeen years ago, and membership in
it was a strong tie. binding them to old
associations in after years when they left
their alma mater and went their several
ways in the world. They adopted the
little silver cross for their badge, and
their motto was, ''In His Name"
The name, symbol and watchword
were not copyrighted any more than the
good works which these first Kings
Daughters were pledged to, and SO when
the larger organization was projected, a
few years ago. and they were casting
about for asuitable designation, emblem
and phrase to express their spirit,
body at the first meeting held to deter
mine upon these points suggested Mrs.
Irving's Girls society as a model. 1t had
then n membership of about 500.
Mrs. Irving has been one Of the CEN
trail council of the Kings Daughters,
but when a controversy arose touching
the ~expediency of calling it a Christian
order-which it was believed would give
offense to the Unitarian contingent
three OF the council, one Of whom was
Mrs. Irving, resigned for conscience
sake. Mrs. Irving is also the president
of the New York branch of the United
States Indian Observation-Disclosures.

Homework is healthy, and many ply
sicians recommend it to women who
need exercise. Walking is not enough;
1t exercises only the legs, while busting
and sweeping bring an entirely different
set Of muscles into play. Many girls take
more interest in their homes if encour-
aged to assist in the care of them. House
hold duties, If properly planned, need
take but little time out of a long day.
To be systematic in the discharge of such
duties is the only way to properly accom-
plish the right amount of work.-New

South Gila Valley News.
ICorr. Yuma Sentinel. 1

Barley hay is being harvested on the North side of the river, and thus the returns for labor and seed are coming in bonntifully.
 Work has commenced on the Farmers canal, and soon it will be able to supply all demands for water along the line.
 A number of the ranchers are get ting ready to harvest their barley hay ; and some of them are enjoying early fruits from their gardens.
 If any one has doubts as to what the bottom lands along the Gila river can do, when once water is at com mand, let such take a look at the lands upon which the river spread it. self at the late high water, and such will think they are lost in a forest of grass and flowers. The fertll- ity of the soil on the Gila river bot toms is as wonderful as the legend of Alladin's Lamp. It beats the world for productiveness.
 Last Friday evening, the young peo- pie in the South Gila valley were royalty entertained at the residence of Mir. and Mrs. J. c. Obert. It is need less to add that the light fantastic toe was ripped till the wee wa small hours called all to fine collation. af- ter which trip homeward was in order.
 A May-day party is on the tapis among the good people of the South Gila valley, and good time is looked for. Base ball, pitching quoits, and May day games will no doubt be or hand to make the day enjoyable.

Nearing Statehood.

There seems to be disposition on the part of congress 10 admit Ari- zona and New Mexico by way of compromise, the indecent haste used in the admission of Wyoming and Idaho has evidently brought this body to sense of their responsibilities in the matter. The people of Arizona are almost q unit for statehood, and the sentiment is growing as time demonstrates the necessity of gen uine home rule for our pople. The very word "territory" is sug- gstiye of crudeness, an undevloI- ed condition of affairs where the system of government is not in ac- cordance with the American principle, in fact the very opposite of all that is just and equitable Hence our ad- mission into the family of states is one of the most forward movements that could possibly be inaugurated in her behalf. Let the world know that Arizona has all the necessary qualif- cations for statehood, and the people will see at glance that she has made rapid steps in advancement the past four years, and must necessarily pos ses very superior advantages, and the result will be wonderfully beneficial to every part of Arizona, and on these grounds, if no other, could be develop ed. We are in favor of the admission of this territory. Arizona Is and has been dumping ground for eastern partisans and now when an oppor- tunity is presented whereby our cit, zens can free themselves from this tryannical system of government, do not permit the opportunity to pass by nheeded.-Phenix Gazette.

Arizona.

Ii the sunlight of prosperity now casting before it the shadows of many grand enterprises ill Arizona, is not dimmed by some vast and unexpected confusion of the elements of it's con struction, our fair land is destined to enjoy something akin to the marvel ous growth and activity that has marked the wonderful progress of California during the past few years. Had it not been for the Indian ques- tion-now happily settled for all time Arizona would have today been a formidable rival to the Golden State. As 1t is. we are but in our infancy, and industries of all kinds are but in the bud of their prosperity. The news from all quarters -Af ;j;ir Territory is full of golden hone, and no one DOT tion seems to be sighted by the favored hand of fortune. The mining inter- ests were never in more satisfactory condition; and the new bodies of high grade ore that have recently been developed, indicate particular ly lively season ill this branch of in- dustry. Irrigation canals in various parts of the territory are just now flooding the fertile soil of our mesas and valleys. Happy homes and pros porous farms now dot the hills and dales that but a few years ago afforded a recluse for wild animals, and the commercial interests of OUT territory have now grown to such vast propor- tiOns that thrifty little towns and stations are now assuming an embryo metropolitan aspect. In Tucson the effect of this unexpected revival of affairs is already felt, and more hopeful confidence exists The turn in the tide, so long and anxiously awaited, has come. Capital seeking investment is daily pouring into our
 territory, men with families, in search of new homes, are constantly arriving
 in our midst and it is safe to predict that but few short years will elapse when the once despised territory will
 be revived ill her new light, when she
 will rival the most prosperous state in the Union, and at the same time add another star to the old flag that
 will shine with credit to America Citizen.

Explanations To Entrymen.

Hereafter the settlers having filed claims in the land office upon which there is delay will have an opportunity to learn at least the reason of such de- lay. In the past the office has refused to give settlers any satisfaction what ever The attention of the Commis- sioner of the General Land Office was directed to this fact and from a letter from Assistant Commissioner Stone we make the following extract which explains itself:
 'In regard to cases suspended by this office under Rules and 8, Cir cular of July IT, 1889, * it is directed, Tn the Rules referred to, that local officers shall make an ex- planation of the cause of the delay in the issuance of final papers, and in the letters addressed to you from this office, you have always been directed to make this explanation before cal ling on entrymen. If your records fail to show the cause of delay, this fact should be stated to this office the presumption being, under such circumstances, in favor to the entry men. You will, therefore, immedi- ately make proper report to this office in each case.
 Very Respectfully,
 W. M. Stone, Asst. Commissioner" :"

Neat Expressions.

Speaker Tom Reed, is one of the brightest and most progressive men in the nation. During his California trip one year ago, he passed through Arizona over the Southern Pacific rail road, and in a speech he used the fol- lowing language;
 The loftiest motives often brings smallest returns. It is hard thing to say, but it is the truth, that an honest persistent desire for six per cent interest, with willingness to take 20 has done more to civilize the world than all the courage of the Crusaders. And on this continent what world it has won. Did you ever look at the map hundred and twenty years ago? There lies the mar row strip close by the margin of the inhospitable ocean which is the germ of the great republic of to-day. The province boundaries go back few miles and then lose themselves in the vast unknown. To-day few spots unexplored lie under the daily patl- way of the san from ocean to ocean.
 What vast empire it is. I say it with no thought of boasting, but iii simple wonder. Most of it lies be, yond the Mississippi. The Mississippi is west no longer. Ohio has ceased to be western state except at political conventions. The great plains which stretch towards the sunset, we have carved into states and territories su immense that we have utterly dis guised their greatness from ourselves. Much of the west remains unconquer- ed. Away off beyond Mississippi and beyond the turhid waters of the mud dy Missouri, you may travel day after day and night after night over plains without human habitation, watched over by the melancholy mountains. As we whirled across the arid plains of Arizona, the early home of Amer ican civilization, could but marvel at this olden land, what it was cen turies ago, when peopled by thrifty busy men and women, and what it will be in the future, made so by the brawn and brain of western push and and energy.
 No man comes back from such travel to-day without an abiding cer- tainty that the third century of the republic will see these treeless, water less plains which lie out so lonely, swarming with millions of rich, hap py citizens of this republic, made stronger by successful battle with nature, and freer and more steadfast by faith in themselves which has been tried often and never found wanting.

Zuni Indians Attempt to Murder.

It was reported few days since that one of Patterson's men by the name of Ross, came near being killed byZuni Indians. It appears that Ross was sent out to gather in some stray cattle. He had stopped to get him meal, and while eating some Zuni Indians approached He paid little attention to them, but after little maneuvering one of them struck him on the head with a hatchet. He fell but drew his revolver and fired two or three shots at random. This frighten- ed the Indians who ran away. Ross recovered sufficiently to saddle his horse and mount it, and started home
 When he arrived he was q ghastly looking object. Blood covered him self and horse from the bleeding wound. He was taken from his horse in an exhausted and almost unconscious con dition. It was found upon examin- ation that the blow from the hatchet had crushed through the skull and his brains were oozing from the wound. He is perhaps fatally hurt and now lies i'll critical condition at the post hospital at Fort Wingate. Zuni In- dians came into the post day or two later, so we are informed, and admit ed that Zuni Indian committed the deed, and done it for the purpose of robbery as he supposed Ross had money on his person.-Gallup Elk.
