A Step Onward.

For some time past, the complaint has been quite general among the prop erty owners of Tucson, that real estate was almost valueless, there being absolutely no demand for even the choicest property. This inactivity to a great extent has been due to the lack of an energetic real estate firm who are not only willing but competent to point out to capitalists the solid worth and large profits ofinvestments in realty, in we'll established and prosperous business town like Tucson.
 This want has however, been supplied by the efforts of the well-known firm of real estate brokers, Messrs Manning & Oury. They are kept continually busy attending to real estate transactions, and the several important sales of Tue son property which have lately been con- summated through their efforts augur we'll for the future prosperity of our city and have had a marked effect in in- spring the confidence of our business men in the success of city possessed of the substantial merit and varied resour- ces of Tucson.

A Sad Accident.

This morning at 9:15 o'clock, q young man named Ed. Spofford, who switches on the yard engine, was killed instantly
 He was letting down box car into the eattlepen's switch, using a club in the brake wheel, when the club slipped, letting him fall in front of the car, and under the wheels. The fall itself was enough to stun him; the wheels crushed him through the middle, severing his body, and his arms below the elbow.
 Spofford was 19 years old, and we'll known and well-liked in the city. He was an only son and lived with his parents, who have the sincerest sym pathy of all who knew their son. His loss is a terrible blow to them, HINT. Spoffard being nearly crazed with grief. This morning he left home in the full vigor of young manhood, but little thinking that never would he go forth alive from there again. In two short hours the terrible news comes that he is no longer alive, strong and happy, but dead-killed instantly. An only son, and a great support to his parents, his loss will he a sad one in more re- spects than one.
 The funeral will take place to-mor row, at 10 o'clock, from the residence of his parents.

Probably to be Exonerated

4 special dispatch from Washing tor to the San Francisco Chronicle says Much indignation is felt in army circles here over the court-martial of Major Joseph w. Wham, Paymaster, and Cap tain A. c. Miltimore, at Tucson, A. T. Major Wham was a leading candidate for the position of Paymaster- General of the army, to succeed General Rochester against him were trumped up only to injure his canvass.
 The offense alleged was that he con spired with Captain Miltimore to rent an office for himself at an eXorbitant rate. Captain Miltimore was an assistant quartermastsr, and was tried practically on the same charge. The Court didn't deliberate more than five minutes before it reached verdict which is said to have exonerated both officers.
 The Department Commander severely censured the Judge-Advocate of the court-martial for considering charges based on such fiimsy pretext. Major Wham, in his statement before the court, said he disbursed in little over seven months S1, 100000 in money and supplies to about 22,000 Indians and every cent had been satisfactorily ac- counted for, yet here he was charged with entering into conspiracy not only with Captain Mlltimore, but also Charles R. Drake, the receiver of public moneys, President of the Territorial Senate and an old and honorable citizen of Arizona, to steal the enormous sum of S35 per month from the Government.
 The papers in the case are now before the Secretary of War and will probably receive prompt atteRtion. It is under stood that the findings of the court full ly exonerate the two officers and cen sure those officials who were responsible for the trial.

The Worlds Most pov.rfu, Tr,hnno,

The highest court of the United States holds a unique place in our form of government and one not found In any other governmental system. It wellds power greater than is exercised by any other judicial tribunal in the world. In no country of Europe or the east has any court authority to make or unmake the supreme law of the land, to limit the prerogatives of the sovereign, to control the powers ot the legislature, to shape the form of government.
 These functions are exercised by the supreme court of the United States. It holds power above that of the chief magistrate of the nation, superior to that of congress, higher than that ot any state, and equaled only by that which made or can amend the consti. tuition. It can enlarge or limit the pre- negatives of the president or the powers of congress. It can change the relations between the state and the nation. It can extend or restrict either the central power or state sover- eighty. In short, it can make or un- make the constitutional law of the country. It can introduce radical changes into our form of government. Not only can the supreme court wiel5 these vast powers, 1t has long done SC and may long continue to do so.- eaton 5. Drone In Forum.

old Age Then and New

am afraid that old people found h6 rather dull business in the time o King David and his rich old subjec, and friend, Barzillai, who, poor man, could not have told a teal from can. vas back, nor enjoyed symphony con. cert If they had had those luxuries in his day. There were no pleasant firesides, for there were no chimneys. There were no daily newspapers for the old man te read, and he could not read them if they were, with his dim eyes, nor hear them read, very probably, with his dulled ears. There was no tobacco, a soothing drug, which in its various formo is a great solace to the many old men and to some old women-Carlyl and his mother used to smoke their pipes together, you remember.
 Old age is infinitely more cheerful, fol intelligent people at least, than it was two or three thousand years ago. It is our duty, so far as we can see, to keep it so. There will always be enough about it that is solemn, and more than enough, alas! that is saddening. But how much there is in our times to tighten it's bur. densl If they that look out at the win dows be darkened the optician is happy to supply them with eye glasses for use before the public, and spectacles for their hours of privacy. If the grinders cease because they are few, they can be made many again by a third dentition, which brings no toothache in its train. By temperance and good habits of life, prop CT clothing, well armed, we'll drained and we'll ventilated dwellings, and sufficient, not too much, exercise, the old man of our time may keep his muscular strength in very good condition.-Dr. Holmes in Atlantic

Looking on the Bright Side.

Uncle Billy Dawson, who lived in the house where Mir. Crounze was reared, was kind hearted man, who never lost . chance to hold out hope to the despair. ing and sympathy to the suffering. He was always ready with the proof that however hard a neighbor's lot was, il might have been many fold worse; and his ingenuity at finding a accompanying gain for every loss that any one migh. suffer was a matter of local wonder. ment.
 One day somebody told Uncle Bill, that his neighbor, Thomas Darrow. had fallen under the cars and lost leg.
 Uncle Billy stood in silence severa, minutes, looking at the ground. Then. raising his eyes, he said:
 "Well, I'm awful sorry for poor Tom but there's some consolation in tie thought that pair O socks'll last him twice as long they ust to, and to $ man ,s po. ss he is that's good deal. ["
 The next day Uncle Billy called on the injured man, and to his surprise learned that Tom had lost both legs. A little disconcerted, Uncle Billy stood by the bed in solemn consideration. Presently, however, his face frightened, and he said:
 "Well, Tom, if you had to loose onk leg it's mighty good job that you lost two."
 70, Uncle Billy" said Tom, "how can you say such a thingy"
 "Cause it's true, Tom, true as gospel. You see if you'd only lost one leg you'd be thinkin' about it an worritin' about it all the time, but now, you see, the lozs of each one'll serve to keep your naind off'E the loss of the other. It's gress sseskn' you lost 'em both, Tom, 'steat 7 sx<z enc Washington Post.

Something New and Good
Casa Grande, A. T.
 July 13, 1890

Col. .Durr has again madea step for ward as a public benefactor. It had come to his ears recently, that some of the ladies of Tucsen were complaining about the beer sold ir this city being bitter. Being on confidential terms with his grandmother, famous old lady who has spent her lifei studying the likes and dislikes of her sex, he wrote her, explaining what was the matter with the ladies of Tucson. The grandmother knew at once the remedy, and straight way sent carload of the celebrated Extra Pale Erlanger Standard Beer This beer arrived yesterday, and has been sampled by the best judges in this city. and pronounced the best family beer in the West. It is just the thing for the ladies, and no bitter taste is car ried with it. The Colonel asks that every family try few bottles of this beer, and feels confident that they will have no other afterwards. The grandmother has never made mistake about the wants and needs of Tucson, and will answer for the satisfaction given by this new beer with her reputation, which is good.
 The Colonel has been instructed to sell this beer at SIP per bbl. and s2.20 per doz., so that all may share in the luxury nd benefits afforded by Its use.

Silver.

People often ask what is bi-metallism, what is mono -metallism, and what is meant by the ratio between gold and sil- yer?
 The money metals now recognized are gold and silver Formerly copper was regarded as money metal and used for small coins, and while it is still used for small cOins 1t is no longer regarded as a money metal. Those who think both gold and silver should be used as money are called bi-metallists, or two metallists. Those who think but ono of the money metals ought to be employed are called monometallists, or one metallistS. Those who think gold alone should be used as the legal-tender money of the country are called gold monometallists, and those who desire to use silver only are called silver monometalists.
 The gold mono-metallic countries make gold legal-tender for the payment of all debts, while silver is used only as subsidiary coin. Silver mono -metailists countries make silver the only legal tender. Great Britain, since 1916, has been gold mono-metallic country, sil- yer being used for small money and as a legal tender to the amount of Sl0, or @ India Is silver ono-mettallic country. gold being an article of merchandise. and not legal tender. France is a double standard or bi-metallic country. and has gold and silver in almost equal qualities, having S900O00OO0 in geld. while Great Britirn has only S550, 100000. Great Britian has sl00,O00,OOO of silver. and France has between S7OO.OOOOOO and sS00,O00,000 and some claim even more than that amount The pop- ulation of Great Britain is 35,24I,S42 France has a population of 38,2lS,oO3.
 The United States has always been a double standard country, except during the period between February I2, 1873, and February. 2S, 1878, The United States has about S684, 100000 of gold and about S435, 5,000,0000 of silver.
 About one hundred and thirty to one hundred and forty millions of the people of the globe .are inhabitants of mono metallic countries, and the rest of the world either belongs to the silver mono metallic countries or bi-metallic coun- tries. So it will be observed that about nine tenths of the population of the world that use money use silver or sil- yer and gold as legal tender. Many of even the gold mOno-metallic countries must use silver as subsidiary money, gold not being fit to make small coins of, like half dollars, quarters and dimes Review.

nIurderous Science.

Ine American Analyst tells of the heartless treatment a young woman recently underwent at the hands of some so called Christian Scientists, ' in Boston, Mass, which resulted in her cruel death, and says: In Brook lyn a temporary stop has been put to this peculiar phase of fanaticism by the incarceration of several of its hom- icidal adopts in the penitentiary. No more fragrant case, however, has been brought to the public attention than this one in Boston, and it is to be hoped, Tn the interest of reason and humanity, that the authorities in that center of culture will interpose their authority so as to, at least, prevent the likelihood of repetition there of such an enormity.
 A young lady from Chattanooga, Tenn, suffering from consumption, was induced to place herself in charge of an aunt, who is an enthusiastic disciple of tine Christian Science" faith, as expounded at the Eddy col lege in Boston. The so called doctors told her that nothing was really the matter with her; that her malady was chiefly imagination, and that prayer and faith in God were sure panaceas. |" She bore up heroically and followed the treatment to the letter. She helped in the work round the house, did part of the cooking, and got out of bed at daybreak, all because her doctor so recommended. The unhappy invalid used often to ask for something to eat between meals, but this was strictly forbidden. At lunch she frequently asked for bit of meat ana fowl, but this was also strictly forbidden. To wards the end she failed rapidly and often said: Tn belief I'm dying. In belief have the most dreadful pains" The day before the doomed girl died she prepared her own breakfast Her aunt was away all the afternoon and she slept alone that night.

A Few Days Since.

Pedro Miranda respectable resident of Arivacs, stopped from his horse to take up his Winchester resting against the wall of Bernard & Co.'S store, when the hammer striking the wall the rifle exploded; the ball took off the tip of his left forefnger, then plouged through the fieshy part of the hand, then entered the arm above the elbow and passed clean through. Under the care of Dr. A. N. Noon, the wounded man is making rapid recovery, but these frequent accid- ents should serve as caution to others, to be always careful in handling loaded firearms.

NAMES OF FABRICS.
Most of Them Were Derived From Those
 of Eastern Cities.

Most of Them Were Derived From Those
 of Eastern Cities.
 Every thing connected with ones business is of importance. Very few dry-goods men know the origin of the names of many of the goods they handle They may seem trivial points, but they are of interest to the man who seeks to be thoroughly familiar with the mer. Ihandise in which he deals. For the in- formation of such we give the deriva- tion of the names Of the following goods: Damask is from the City of Da mascus; satins from Zaytown in China; calico from Calicut, town in India, formerly celebrated for it's cotton cloth and where calico was also printed. Mus lin is named from Mosul in Asia. Al. paca, from an animal in Peru, of the llama species, from whose wool the fabric is woven. Buckram takes its name from Fostat, city of the Middle Ages, from which the modern Cairo is descended. Taffeta and tabby from street in Bagdad. Cambric from Cam Brai. Gauge has it's name from Gaza; baizs from Bajac; dimity from Damietta, and jeans from Jean. Drugget is de- rived from city in Ireland, Drogheda. Dufk comes from Torque, ir Normandy. Blanket is called after Thomas Blanket, . famous clothier connected with the introduction of woolens into England about 1S40. Serge derives its name from Kerga, Spanish name for peculias woolen blanket. Diaper is not from D'Ypres, as it is sometimes stated, but from the Greek diaspron, figured. Vel, Yet is from the Italian vellute, woolly tLatin vellus- hide or pelt). Shawl is tfe Sanscrit sala, floor, for shawls were flst used as carpets and tapestry. Ban- dana is from an Indian word to bind or tie, because it is tied in knots before dyeing. Chintz from the Indian chott Delaine is the French ''of wool. Trade Iournal
