Bible Significance of Stones.

The jaws, it will be possibly remem-
bered by many, had a tradition that
when, on the day of atonement, tbs
high priest asked of the Almighty for
giveness for the sins of the whole ma,
ton. if they were forgiven the stones
In the Trim and Thummim shone most
brightly; if the contrary, they became
black. The breast plate Of the high
priest contained twelve stones, each
one of which represented the tribes of
Israel.
Coming down to later time, there
were certain stones which symbolized
the twelve apostles. Peter is represent
ed by the jasper or garnet, Andrew by
the sapphire, James by the chalcedony,
Iohn by the emerald, Philip by the sar>
donyI, Bartholomew by the comedian,
Matthew By the chrysolite, Thomas by
the beryl. Thaddeus by the chryso-
praise, James the lesser by the topaz,
Simeon by the iacinth and Matthias by
the amethyst. 1t is scarcely probable
that these humble men of Galilee, fol
lowers of the meek Nazarene. knew Of
the existence of this symbolism, but it
shows in what valued estimation they
were held by those who had been led by
their teachings.
1t is not to be wondered at, since
these stones were used by divine au-
thority to beautify and adorn the Office
of the high priesthood, that something
of their virtue should be held to belong
to the holy men who taught such beau
tiful truths to humanity.-Sally Joy

At the meeting OF Go. D last night
there was a fair attendance. The late
orders issued by Adjutant Gill were
read, pertaining to the reorganization
OF the company.
The subject OF reorganization was
freely discussed. 1t will infuse new life
into the company. and a new interest
will be taken. Many applications for
membership are made or about to be
made.
1t was decided to keep the present
quarters of the company, and to fit the
drill hall for gymnasium, the plaza ad-
jacent being better adapted for drill
purposes. The gymnasium will be as
complete as possible, with athletic ap-
paratus of various kinds-boxing gloves,
dumbbe Is, bars, ladders, etc, and will
be added to from time TO time. Later a
reading room may also be put in.
Company colors, field flag and new
trumpet will be ordered. to arrive by or

San Pedro Notes.

To rancher residing in Dudleyville
vicinity the CITIZEN is indebted for news
from that part Of the country.
He spoke first OF crops. Crops are
good-could be better, but are thrifty
and green. They consist mainly of bar
ley, wheat and alfalfa, and harvesting
will begin in three weeks. Corn is al
ways light crop in that region and lit
tie was planted this spring.
Cattle look well in Pinsl county.
Throughout the ranges they are fat or
at the least in good order. Sales, as the
CITIZEN has already told, have been nu-
merous throughout the whole valley of
the San Pedro, and bunch Of 60 head
sold at cents a pound, is just in from
San Pedro now for Mr.. PurdY. Feed is
good owing to the rains, but has begun

e PLURIBUS UNUM,
a Conversation Repeated, rs It
Touches One of Tucson's Salient
Eeaturex.

Part and portion of Tucson's capital
is its climate. To the stranger in the
city the first subject remarked is "What
a glorious"-but that's no news. In
stances of its health preserving and re-
storing qualities are so everlastingly
coming up that the CITIZEN must not
refrain from quoting three or four
Specimen Cases." it being no more
than in justice to the old city.
A resident of the city and stranger
sat in front of one of the hotels last
night, enjoying the cool pleasant even
ing. Matters various were discussed,
and this same subject of climate came
up. California was mentioned. Said
the Tucson man:
"The idea Of praising and advertising
the climate of California as being health
giving and bracing! An Improvement
on the East it may be, but have seen
and you have seen those heavy, damp
choking fogs of Southern California
which are hardly bracing and beneficial,
and know of cases of consumption act
ually contra cted there. Such an idea
would be hooted in Tucson. The one
thing not doing justics to this town in
it's sanitarium feature is that the health
seekers all come late-too late sometimes,
but sometimes not. Their condition is
such that once here, here they are-they
cannot live elsewhere. / lived in
California till l had all but quit living.
from pulmonary troubles. have tried
every location: Los Angeles, San Jose
and half a dozen others, and finally did
like the rest came to Tucson as a last
resort. That was years ago, and years /
ago would have turned up my toes, had
stayed in California.
There is a man in this town weighing
200 pounds. He Is rosy and fat and yet
he has only one lung. That man was
brought here on a stretcher, emaciated
and very sick. He could live nowhere
outside of Arizona.
Eight years ago - -, another
of these "last resorts" came to Tucson.
He grew better, strong, and having
money, bought cattle raach. Two
yaars ago be became restless; he was
going back to..New York, as he had
health in plenty then. To New York he
did go, though not for long. He return
ed to Tucson hardly more than alive,
finally recovered, went back east again,
came back worse than before and died
year ago."
The foregoing are cases more or less
paralleled by fair share Of Tucson's
population, The cityIls a veritable health
health resort, and when Hotel de Santa
Rita is built, the invalid population OF
the town will be greatly augmented.

A correspondent who is with the
presidents party telegrsphs his paper
in New York that an escort OF ton SOL
diers was ordered to FL Psso to guard
the party through Arizona but when
the president found what was going on
he gave orders not to allow any soldiers
on mis- train aud remarked that he
would have no soldier guard with him
and that he was not afraid to trave. any
where in the United States as private
citizen.
1t would seem that it was due to the
president that the ten guardsmen from
Huachuca came back behind the presi-
dent instead of ahead Of him.

EDITOR CITIZEN:

EDITOR CITIZEN:
The editorial columns OF this morn
ing's Star contains a covert sheer at the
Republican nominees to the Constitu-
tional convention, simply because they
are not lawyers. 1t is true as the Star
says, that they are not lawyers, but they
are what is far better, to wit: true rep
resentatives of the great industries
which have made it possible for lawyers
here to thive and prosper on their bust
ness interests of this county.
"a banker, granger and stockman
as against three lawyers" is the mourn
full slogan Of the Star. If that is to be
the battle crv, so let it be, for it is we'll
to let the producers Of Pima county
the business men, the farmers and the
cattlemen-now determine whether 1T is
best to elect as delegates intelligent rep
sentatives of their several industries, or
to meekly crawl under the arrogant heel
of a profession which proclaims divine
right to everything which is worth hav
ing.
