Demonstration That Corsets Are Help to
 woman's Development.
 In recent series of athletic feats in young ladies' seminary in England says Chatter, the opposing sides were taken by the girls with stays and the girls who wore no stays. The girls who were for tified with that extra garment won the tourney; at least they claim the vic- tory. This is what a witness writes in an English paper:
 1.-The high jump was won by the 'ar- mored' ones, and the high jump, of all things, is about the only event, or rather an event, in which the corset would se- riously interfere.
 "In the tug of war, which fell to the 'unarmored' ones after long struggle, one of the successful sides strained her self rather seriously (which by the way, caused great merriment among the 'armored' warriors), and am rather in- clined to think such thing would nev- CT have happened if the young lady had been 'armored'.
 ''If the sixteen competitors again went through the same trials, but this time vice versa--viz., the different sides to change, the 'unarmored' ones to buckle on armor, and the others to throw it off am quite sure the result would be just the same, so sure am 1 that the corset is the impeachment"

Fred scofield's Very Pretty Little Build ing.
 On his lot on Maricopa street, facing the plaza, MT. Fred Sco6eld has just about completed the erection of the handsomest one-story brick business house in Phoenix. The building is small, twenty-five feet front by seventy-fve in depth, but is elegantly finished. It has been leased for three years by Photo grapher Hartwell, and was especially designed for gallery. The front is very ornate, with handsome galvan- ized iron cornice. The interior of the building is divided into reception room 20vlS feet, from which open the retouch- ing and operating rooms-the latter large apartment, 40xl7 feet, fitted with skylights and with all the modern con- veniences of the photographers art. The developing and plate preparing rooms open from this, and are also sup piled with every convenience.
 The building was put up by contract by Corlett x Phillips, and will cost when completed $2,0O0. MT. Scofield will not let this be the end of his im- provements in Phoenix, as eerlv in the fall he will put up three-story block on his lot on Center street, opposite the Commercial Hotel,

 The Funding Bill.

"All things look well for Arizona"
 That is the remark with which Hon. N. O. Murphy, Secretary of the Terri tory, greeted REPUBLICAN reporter who strolled into his office yesterday after noon. Mir Murphy returned from Wash ington, where he has been looking after the interests of Arizona before Congress and in the Departments, on the train yesterday afternoon, and he was look ing remarkably well after his journey Evidently the climate of the National Capitol, and his treatment there, had agreed with him.
 "Yes, all things look we'll for Arizona there," MT. Murphy repeated. "The north and south railroad bill is on the calendar in regular order for Saturday, but there is possibility that it may be called up and passed tomorrow. Oh, it is sure to pass. We have already made certain of that by count of noses in the Senate, having more than enough to put the measure through, and you can assert positively that the measure will be signed by the President. speak by the card. There can be no possible doubt of it."
 "Did you see Diamond Joe Reynolds while you were absent?" questioned the reporter.
 'I left him in Chicago, and he is more than enthusiastic on the north and | nat I.,t the bill would assuredly become law. Still, as you know, there is possibility of q hitch somewhere that could not have been seen nor provided for. Should such hitch occur, the road will be built whether the bond bill receives the approval of the National government or not. Phoenix will have railroad connec- tion with Prescott just as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow"
 "And about the funding bill?"
 That measure is all right, too, I think. You see the action of the Sen ate upon the measure restored it to it's former status, and it is now in the hands of conference committee that will very probably report the bill favor ably. The main trouble about the mat ter was that the bonds should have been given such a long time to run and I went before the committee upon that point. 1 had considerable difficulty in making clear to the members of the committee the difference in the condi- tions prevailing here and at the East, and in convincing them that in order to get money at low interest it was abso- lutely necessary that the bonds should run for a long period. We could not dispose of a short term bond, and the passage of a bill providing such bond would leave us practically no better off than we are now. They will, fancy, finally settle upon 20-40 bond, which will be satisfactory all around"
 MT. Murphy has thus, it will seen, with most distinguished energy accom- plished the work that he went to Wash. ington to perform, and he comes home as the bearer of news that will be most agreeable to the people of the entire Territory.

YUMA COPPER CAMP.

 Out at the Mine.

Out at the Mine.
 John Earle returned yesterday from a visit to the camp of the Yuma Copper Mining Company, about forty miles northwest of Vulture.
 Matters are little quiet at the camp just now" MT. Earle said in con versation with a reporter for THE RE PUBLICAN yesterday, "there being only seven men at work in the mines. They had force of twenty up to a short time ago, but they cut the force with view to making run as soon as they can get sufficient water. The men now there are taking out ore with view to this run, and no mining is being done. The trouble with the water supply is that they blasted in the wells and succeeded only in burying their tools, the wells not being cased. There are three sets of tools buried in one well, which will probably be lost, as work has been alto gether abandoned in that hole. The Cond well is down about 800 feet, but there is also cave in this about half way down, although no tools have been stuck yet. The engineer at the mines told me that he believed that once this cave was penetrated, there would prob ably be found water supply sufficient to clean up the ore now in sight"

Profits of the Paris Exposition.
 London Standard.

NJ. Neymarck has communicated to the Paris Chamber of Commerce table of the profits which accrued to France by the exhibition. The deposits at the Bank of France were G3,0OO,000 in ex- cess of the normal total.
 Between May and the close of the ex- hibition 600, 900 English and American tourists arrived; the Americans had let ters of credit and cheques, for which they obtained gold amounting to E14,- OOO,OOO, and there were l 1,5OO,000 other foreign visitors. Deposits in private banks rose by sum of E3,OOO,OOO. The railway companies increased their usual income from passenger traffic by f260,- 900. The Seine River steamers gained e3,OOO. What wagonettes and other wheeled vehicles earned seems incred- ible. M. Neymarck knows the owners of wagonettes which did thirty-three double journeys day, conveying at each journey eight persons at franc apiece, thus taking in about G2O day.

Novelist ZOla's Kxtravagance. I

The celebrated romancer, Emil Zola, declares that he is poor man, although he has no children and his wife displays no especial extravaganza. Without the 20, 900 francs which the papers generally pay him for novel, he would have to go hungry. These facts appear more strange, as the estate of the romancer in Meadon alone represents an immense fortune. Zola has certainly carried on a remarkable as well as expensive sport. He has in his castle, as well as in the surrounding park, introduced electric lights. He has also expended large sums for numerous paviliOns and such buildings.
 In fact, it is thought Zola's passion for building has consumed his colossal for tune of several millions, which within the last fifteen years his books have brought to him.-From the German.

 And on behalf of the woman?"

Surplus Plate at Windsor.
From the London Truth.

The papers are full of accounts of silver center-piece which is being manu- factured for the Queen, and which con- tains 2,OO0 ounces of silver. Consid IT, ing that there is already plate at Wind- sor Castle which is valued at upward of two millions, it is difficult to conceive what the Queen can want with another center-piece, especially when so very few entertainments of any kind are given by her Majesty. During the reign of George ", gold and silver plate was purchased by his Majesty, for which the country had to pay, to the amount of nearly G300,000. In the private apartments at Windsor there is punch bowl and laddle tor which alone the bill was 10000 guineas.

 May l6, 1890.
 HOS LEWIS WoLFLEY, PhGniX, Arizona-My dear Governor-The President desires me to write to you and say that after full and thor. ough consideration of the matter between him self and the Secretary, the appointment of MT. Christ as collector at Nogales has been deter. mined upon. He has made an exhaustive in. vestigation of the charges effecting his moral character, and he believes them to have been fairly met and disposed of by MT. Christ He understands and appreciates, of course, the lack of personal harmony between you and MT. Christ; but he has little tolerance for that sort of quarrels, and hopes that the efficiency of the administration of affairs in Arizona will not in any wise be imperilled by reason of this.
 Certainly in your official conduct, If not in your personal relations, it will be a great advan- tage if the difference between you could be com posed, or at least forgotten for the time. The President wanted me to write you about in this way, and to let you know that the appointment had not been made to embarrass you, but on the contrary that better state of feeling and better results to the public and party might obtain from the determination that he has reached. am quite certain that MT. Christ himself will be ready and anxious to meet you more than half way in having an amicable and satisfac- tory conduct of public affairs.

 Flagstaff has organized a militia com pany, which will be known as Company C, First Regiment, N. G, A., and has elected Harry Kislinger captain. Yes terday Governor Wolfiey received re- quisition for uniforms and quartermast- CTS stores, which was duly honored, and the boys will receive their supplies in due time.
 The Arizona militia seems to have taken remarkable start during the past few months, and there is talk of or ganizing several additional companies in the near future.
 Then there is the Phoenix artillery, which it is intended to reinforce by a like company at Tucson, if possible, and third at Prescott, thus forming com plete battery of six guns. The Phoenix company is now nearly complete, as the roster will contain only twenty-four names, of whom the larger number are already signed. This will give two guns here, with two in addition at Prescott and two at Tucson.
