COMMENCEMENT.
Enjoyable Exercises at st. Joseph
Academy Last Night,

Yesterday afternoon was enjoyed
by the pupils of st. Joseph Academy.
The commencement exercises drew a
throng, the children themselves in their
very Eprettiest white dresses forming a
good portion of 1t, the rest being their
mothers, and aunts, and big sisters and
friends. The hall-the lower school room
Of the convent-was crowded, and the
exercises began at 4:30 o'clock.
The main feature Of the affair was the
play of Louis XVI, interspersed with
instrumental music by the pupils
and the presentation of gold medals.
The play itself WAS carefully and well
executed, the beheading even being per-
formed. 1t was in three acts.
After the first act "lS hands" made
the building ring with piano music. 1t
was by nine little girls, three to each of
three pianos. The execution was per-
feet, and had the audience been
differently composed the encores would
have been deafening. As it was there
were enough Tucson youngsters there
to leaven the audience, and they made
up for the applause in which the ladies
present did not express themselves.
-Four gold medals were presented. two
as last nights CITIZEN told, to Misses
Maria Proctor and Katie Spefford fer
music being beautifully engraved First
Honor-Music" end Second Honor
Music" the scholarship medal Was
awarded to Miss c. Mejia and the
Christian doctrine medal to Miss Mania
Watts.
Other music by the pupils, one selec-
ton of six hands, little girl at each
piano in particular was greatly enjoyed.

ANTONIO GRANADA HUNG.
In Solomorvil1e Last Friday---He
Meets Death Calmly-A Ten Days
Respite came too Lfte.

Antonio Granada was hung in the
Jail yard on Friday last at six o'clock
p. IN. for numbering his wife and
daughters al biorencI in the summer
of last year. The history OF his case
was recited last week in the Bulletin,
During Thursday and Friday Granada
read his bible constantly, occasionally
ergaDging In a prayer, in which it is
stated by one who heard him, he prayed
that he might be hung rather than
consigned to life Imprisonment at
Yuma.
On Thursday a reprieye OF ten days
was received from the governor for
Frank Nelson, who was also to be
hung on Friday. On Friday morn
ing early it was decided to ask the
governor for a like reprieve for Ora
NADIA. A message was prepared and a
messen ger was started on horseback to
Thomas with instructions to secure re-
lays OF horses and return TO Solomonvi-
lie by 6 o'clock in the afternoon with an
answer; il he got one.
He did not return, and everything
having been prepared beforehand, Ora
NADIA was led TO the scatfold fifteen
minutes before six. He was dressed in a
neat black sultan from all outward ap-
pearances was unconcerned about his
impending doom. A cigar was given
him when lac smoked with composure
and without the least sign OF nervousness
only asking to be allowed to lean up
against one of the posts of the scsffold.
When the fatal moment arrived and he
wac asked If he had anything to say, his
reply was that he did not. as what had
been done could not be undone.
Deputy Sheriff Charles Gooding
sprung the trap and Granada was no
more. The trap was about six feet and
death was intanta1eous, and without a
single struggle. DR.. A. H. Hoeffer, the
attending physician, pronounced the
body lfeless in II minutes when it was
cut down.
Sheriff Onney gave his personal at
tention to ali the details of the exc
cutlon, which was complete success.
On Saturday a dispatch was sent
up from Thomas, having been received
there from Gov. Murphy, resplting Ora
NADIA for ten days, but it was more than

Chas. NJ. Remand of Wilcox. Ariz, to
Miss Soledad Appel of Les Angeles, Cal.
The largest attendance of any wedding
ever taking place IN Wilcox was that of
Mr.. Remand and Miss Appel, who are
most popular and estimable young
people. The ceremony was announced
TO take place at the residence of P. B.
Soto, but it was decided to hold it in
the more spacious home Of @. w. Pugb,
which itself was soon crowded to its
utmost capacity.
The decorations were in evergreens
and flowers and were beautiful. The
large number of friends present were
just assembled when the bridal party
entered. The bride looked her sweetest
in white Japanese silk, with pearls and
the usual orange blossoms. Miss Louise
Rusk was bridesmaid and MIR. Sam
Appel best man.
The solemn and impressive marriage
ceremonies of the Catholic church were
soon over and Neutrality-suspicious. friends
particularly-crowded forward to kiss
the bride, also to wish Mr.. and Mrs.
Remand all earthly connubial felicity.
The CITIZEN regrets inability of kiss
ing the bride, but certainly Joins them
IN very best wishes for the young couple.
Mr.. and Mrs. Renaud have taken rooms
for the summer in the Pugh residence,
where they will be coy and comfortable.

Col. Corbtn " III Leave for the Field
Today.

Col. Henry G. Corbin was seen at army
headquarters yesterday afternoon re-
garding the rumors of an outbreak
among the Moqui Indians in New Me-
xico. He stated that there are no new
developments, and he does not expect 10
learn anything until he reaches the vii
lagos where the trouble is supposed to be,
as the villages are seventy or eight miles
from the nearest station. He received
orders from the secretary OF war to
proceed at once to the seat OF the alleged
trouble with sufficient men TO quell any
outbreak, and he will start at noon to-
day for Holbrook, where he will be met
by two troops OF cavalry, one from
Wingate and the other from Fort Apa-
che. He will have about 200 men and a
couple of field pieces. AS near as be can
learn the trouble has grown out OF the
refusal of che Indians To al ow their
children to go to school.
Col Corbin will louk up the Indian
teachers as soon as be reaches the re-
servation. and will DO all in his power TO
set things right, and he thinks he can do
it without ight; but he will be prep
AIRED for war if it must come.
The same trouble WAS experienced
about year ego, when the children
were given vacation, and their parents
refused to allow them to return to the
schools.--L. A. Times.

FOR HITTING THE PIPE
Two Celestisls on Trial, Resulting
in Disagreement OF the Jury.

The war on the Chinese population
clandestinely engaged in smoking
opium is again revived.
The trial of zee Nee and zee Wo, on
such charge took place yesterday be-
fore jury and Judge Culver, resulting
in an even division Of the jury. six for
and six against CONVICTION. The celes-
tials made plea of not guilty, and no
witnesses were sworn except the officers
arresting them. They we're arrested
last Monday night by Deputy Sheriff
Cannon and an assistant, showing their
characteristic cuteness in evading the
officers, though not altogether success
fully. The officers saw them engaged in
their ill-smelling process OF Turing
slumber from an adjoining building in
Chinatown, and Immediately made for
the door. 1t was of course locked, and
on demands and knocks OF the officers
finally opened. OF course the parapher-
MALTA was nowhere to be seen and there
were no vestiges of their very late
smoke except the odor. They were
arrerted however. and with the fore
going result.
Another trial will be given the China

The Cana Agr;a Tanning Root to be
Shipped to Europe from Arizona.

The resources of Arizona are unlimit-
ed and most varied. Another and not
exactly pewlS discovered source of its
wealth is TO 10 profted by in Tucson
vicinity socn, III the clna agria tar
ming root, with which tie surrounding
mesa abounds.
Last summer a Mr.. Kerr made test
shipment of about ten tons OF the root
to England, accompanying it there. The
shipment arrived in bad order, being
improperly packed, and was much of 1t
mUuldy or black, and unfit TO-. expert.
ment.
+. A. Hartmann, of Chaplain, London,
for Levinstein Bros. agents fer various
Ianneries in England, is in the city and
gives details OF the plant, which are
highly satisfactory. Said Mr.. Harh-
mann:
The curing and drying of the root is
particular process II should be
sliced lengthwise of the root, which
averages Six inches long, and thoroughly
dried, after which it is put up in sacks
of about hundred weight. Its tannin
qualities are at their best when the
plant is two or three years old. The
first year il contains little tannin and
after the third year it loses its tannin.
Its average Of tannin is high, about %
per cent, while oak bark contains but
20 per cent. Two and half tons of
green roots will dry to one ton. / am
in Arizona for the purpose OF making
arrangements for shipping the root in
considerable quantities. and Messrs
Manning &c Curry of your city will prob
ably supply our house, which pur-
chases the root, selling it to the tan
neries. Messrs Manning & Curry will
require certain machinery for slicing tie
root, and also wish to make rates with
the railroads. The probable route of
shipment will be via New Orleans.
The price we expect to pay, delivered in
Liverpool, is eight pounds ton for the
dry root.
Il visited the outlying district with
Mr.. Gulley OF the university and found
the plant growing in abundance on the
prairle. 1t also grows in New Mexico
and western Texas in abundance, but |
do not expect to ship from anywhere
except Arizona. l think the plant
might be cultivated with profit. It grows
from the seed, and anywhere on the sur
rounding waste ground, requiring no
irrigation. twenty-five tons, green, of
the root could easily be grown to the
acre, and may be plowed up and very
easily gathered. We expect to receive
considerable quantities, but just the
amount is not definitely arranged"
Messrs Manning & Curry say little
regarding the matter.
"When we get to shipping it will be
time enough to tell OF it." says Mr..
Curry.

Work to be Renewed and the Canal
Completed by September 1st.

Irrigation canals in Arizona are the
source Of the future and solid prosperity
Of the territory, and now comes the news
of the opening of one more, meaning
more farms, more population and more
prosperity.
1t is known as the South ella Canal
and is in charge Of Capt. Woodwork
The canal is by no means a new one be
ing begun two years ago, but for some
time work has been standing IN an in
complete condition, owing to lack OF
funds. The sum of $4,000 has been ex
pended on it, and about as much more is
requisite for it's completion in first class
shape. The ST. Louis parties who put
in $4,000 have now formed a new COM
pany in New York city, embodyirg the
whole of the present work, and have is
sued the bonds, in the sum of Sl50,000
The canal is situated on the south
side of the ella, west of ella Bend, and
below the Wolfiey canal.
1t will embrace the thousands of acres
along one side of the ella for % miles
The work done on 1t is considerable, the
headgate and supplemental work being
lacking, and with the additional $4,000
will be finished inside of 60 days from
time of beginning work, which will
be about July 1st.
The population of the colony at pres
ent is mainly from st. Louis, aud there
is small town, DoanviIle, four miles
from Aztec on the railroad. Arizonans
to a goodly number are also settled
along the canal. The work done by the
settlers is considerable and they have
many fruit trers and vines set out, and
crops now growing. That they mean to
do their farming in business way is
shown IN that of the $4,000 acres now To-
Gated almost all of it is in uingle quart
er sections. They are just recovering
from the damage done them by the
floods OF last winter.
The expectation Of the farmers there
is that the works on the canal will be
completed in time for the fall crops.
After the. canal is in working order
many more settlers will be sent from
the east.

Sunshine,

Light is necessary to health. People
who live in gloomy places, say state
prisons, for example, are always peakish.
Owls affect the twilight and the dark,
and what miserable mopes they are.
Eagles love the sunshine, and how strong
of wing they are and how exultingly
they soar. 1t is true that one may have
too much sun, but it is cheering to see
the sunlight, even when it is necessary
to sit in the shade. How it enlivens US
in winter, exhilarates US in spring, en-
hances our appreciation of the shade in
summer and charms us in glorious au-
tumn.
In September, when Old Sol seems to
have stolen few pale rays from the
moon wherewith to temper his fiery
glories, and all through gorgeous Oct
ober - nay, even in November, and
sometimes up to mid-December, and
often in windy March-how delightful is
the sunshine of our happy latitude.
A blessing on the sun! "Of this great
world both eye and SOUL" source of life
and health and beauty, type of the light
that shall be, symbol of the smile Of
Godi-New York Ledger.
