He Never Called Again,

A stiff EnSlishman made a formal
call ON an equally stiff English girl
down in Staten Island not long ago.
He called about 4 80 in the afternoon,
and sat In one OF those comfortable
square wicker chairs. About o'clock
he made a motion to rise, but resumed
his seat; the young lady resumed hers.
She had an engagement at haf-past
8, and saw the hands of the clock get
ting near that hour Twice the man
seemed on the point of leaving; twice
he started to rise, twice she rose; then
he sat down again, and she resumed
her seat each time. Finally the hsA
hour struck--then it became quarter to
8. The engagement had not been kept.
Did the man intend to stay to dinneri
He didn't; he explained matters.
''hfiss NJ ;" he said at last, with con-
siderable henming and having, ''the-.
ah-buttons on the tail of my-ah-
coat are caught in the-ah-back Of
the-ah-ehair, and cannot disengags
them. May I-ah-ask your assist
ancep
Miss NJ. came to his assistance and
cut the buttons off instead of taking
them out of the chair back. The
Englishman's leave takings were brief,
and he's never repeated the call even
to this day.-Chatter

HORRIBLE FIND.
TIE Mutilated Body OF q Stranger
F0und Near Thomas.

Last Saturday morning colored SOL
diers of Camp Thomas were fishing be-
low the fort and noticed an object which
attracted their attention. Investigation
showed it to be the trunk of the body
of a man, bloated and foul smelling,
with the head cut off with the excep-
ton Of the lower jaw, rendering the re-
mains unacceptable, floating in three
feet of water. Other pieces OF the head
we're fished out with garden rake, and
q piece of the jaw showed the body to
have been that of light complexioned
man. 1t was dressed in a gray wooden
shirt, and with Indian jeans pants.
The remains were at once removed, AZ
inquest held, resulting in a verdict That
deceased was unknown and had come to
his death by violent means at the
hands of unknown persons, and inter
red.
Questioned as to the parties respon-
sible for the find Deputy Marshal Jack
O'Neill reports that there is suspicion
as to who the guilty parties are and that
DEVELOPMENTS may be looked for. To the
present time no arrests have been made.

Tnoson,s Thoroughbred Horse.

Some time since Mr.. Walter Vail sold
the young horse, known as Sleepy John,
to Mr.. Royal A. johnson, OF the Arctic
ice company. Seon after MIR. johnson
acquired this horse, the animal evldenc-
ed considerable speed, and greatly
pleased those who saw him trot, and it
was prophesied that he had great future
possibilities as a trotter.
Several years ago MIR. Vail bought Sir
Richard, a half-brother of STEAMBOAT,
and Sleepy John is son of Sir Richard,
from bay mare formerly belonging to
John W. Mackay, the mining man. Mr..
Vail was not acquainted with the pedi-
gree of the mare, until few days ego,
when a gentleman looked him up, who
was willing to pay $4,000 for the mare.
Then the fact came to light that the
would-be purchaser had been tracing
the mare for some time, ard that she
was out of the same mare, by the same
sire as STEAMBOAT. The mare died soon
after Sleepy John was born. This makes
Sleepy John half nephew of SIAM
boul on the sire's side, and full nephew
on the dams side. A pretty good horse
for Arizona.
Parties are anxious for Sleepy John
TO be taken to Los Angeles for training
for the coming season.

DEDICATION.
The New Catholic Church at Bisbse
Formally Consecrated.
Prospeceor.

On Sunday morning as the bright
July sunlight came streaming over the
summit of the Mule mountain tops, the
joyous sound Of the bell in the new
Catholic church was heard for the first
time, and called the many worshipers
to their morning prisons.
During recent years Bisbee has made
many rapid strides towards progress and
advancement. but none more notable
than that which took place today, when
the new church was dedicated and
devoted to divine worship. The church,
the plan OF which was designed by Mr.
H.G. Howe of Tombstone, and executed
by Messrs. Stevens and Maxfelds OF Bis
bee, is a very handsome building and
one OF which the citizens OF Bisbee may
be justly proud.
1t is situated on the north side OF the
town and occupies an elevated and COM
handing position. In it's garb of fresh
creamy paint, it presents a pleasing
contrast to the dark and rugged hillsides
adjoining.
Long before the hour for the COM
mencement Of the services had arrived,
streams of people wendell THEN way
towards the edifice, anxious to secure a
seat.
Father H. GranJon, darish priest OF
Tombstone, oficiated, and after ded-
icating the church in the usual form,
commenced the mass which was made
very impressive by the excellent music
and singing that was rendered by the
choir consisting of twelve female and
six male we'll trained voices. Special
mention must be made of the tenor solo
sung by Mr.. z. l.. Eeitzman who also
acted as organist.
After the services were concluded,
Father Granjon, in his usual happy
style, thanked the people CT Bisbee, for
their enegry and liberslity in erecting
such a handsome structure which adorns
and lends dignifed air to Bisbee and
its surroundings.

Copper Market.

Stocks of copper abroad continue to
decrease, and at the present time amount
to but little more than one half what
they were at the beginning Of the year.
AS already pointed out IN these pages,
the statistical position of the metal is
very strong, consumption in Europe be-
ing steadily maintained and production
continuing at lower rate than usual on
account of the troubles 10 Chill and the
shutdown Of the Anaconda mines. There
does not now seem to be any prospect Of
an early settlement of the Gillian civil
war, and as we stated some time ago, the
Anaconda will not resume work this
month, and possibly for a mouth or two
more. All indications point to an ad-
vancing market for copper, and the ad-
vance in most brands has already COM
menced, as we anticipated it would.
The domestic market, which was some
what slow in following the foreign, is
undoubtedly influenced by the general
dullness prevalent in all branches Of
business IN this country. The demand
for copper for electrical purposes has
been by no means so large as was anti
cipated, and with the financial condition
which have existed during the past year
it has been a difficult matter to float the
bonds of local electric lightning and
street railway companies. IL the crops
prove as good this year as they now
promise, there will undoubtedly be a
great increase in the domestic demand
Tor corper,.as we'll as other commodities,
during the autumn, and il Boston cop
per mine management paid more
attention to economy at the mines and
less TO stock deals, the copper market
would undoubtedly be benehted.-En-
gineering and Mining Journal.

up somewhere along the railway and

posted up on the dwelling of said victim.
The next morning he awoke to find him

ed in the new postoffice." He is now
dubbed the "new postmaster OF the new
town" and has frequent calls for
mail matter. though he declined to

while the rest Of the family were away

Pointers for Those with Poor Teeth,

Assessed teeth, especially in the
back of the mouth, and more especially
IN the lower jaw, should not be left in
the mouth after reasonable amount OF
skillful treatment has failed to control
the discharge of pus. Chronic absces-
ses discharging pus, which is swallowed
with the saliva, are too frequently al
lowed To pass unnoticed, and serious
arrangements may arise from this con-
slant assimilation OF a septic poison. Ii
the abscess cannot be cured, extract the
tooth. AS TO when to extract teeth, l
have only to say that once it is decided
to have the the teeth removed, the
sooner it is done the better. II it is de-
cided to take gas, the dentist should not
be visited Immediately after a meal, as
the presence of food in the stomach is
likely to result in nausea and vomiting,
which is unpleasant for both the patient
and the operator. Take gas on an emp
ty stomach.-A Dentist in \. Y. Herald
