Tn. oid Hom. of Jesss James.

The Libby Prison war museum is soon to have an acquisition of a curious char. acter. It is the identical frame house in which Jesse James lived the last four months of his life, and in which he was killed by Bob Ford. Since 1882 this house has stood unoccupied on bluff back of St. Joseph, Mo. The bullethole in the wall is still to be seen and the blood stains on the floor have never been effaced. The house was sold to the agent of the Chicago museum for the sum of S1 300, and it is to be taken down in sections, removed hence and set up again in the big building in Wabash avenue.
 An equally interesting relic would be, we think, the old James house still stand ing near Liberty, Clay county. And if old Mother James is still living she should be engaged to come along and serve as ''guide" or illustrator. !" The old lady, when we last saw her, nine years ago, was full of fight and en- ergy, and it would be hard to find a handsomer woman than she was. Chi cago News.

srudents' Credit in Paris.


 The Parisian trsdespeople who have to do with the students are not lenient The lower French classes. every enc knows, are grasping. In Paris they are spurred on by what Alphonse Dsudet 30 graphically calls 'ia peur de nc pas arriver"-the fear of not getting there. |" In the Quartier a student is allowed 150 francs credit; in other words, thirty dol lars. If any expenditure is run up above that limit, or rent permitted to stand beyond that sum, the hussier appears and the student is literally turned out on the pavement. have recently heard of several cases where this limit had been reached within franc or two, and where the student, man or woman, had been reduced to keeping the vital spark alive by one or two cups of coffee a day.
 In one instance the person was New England girl from small village, who, entirely without talent, had come over, as have described, with about S200, out of which, her passage being deducted, she had been able to live, after fashion, for time. The last cent was now gone; she was friendless, without means to get home, and probably too proud to make her destitution and failure known to her family, against whose instincts of con- mon ssnse she had probably undertaken this venture, lured by all manner of wild and unfounded hopes. And this case is really one of many Milwaukee Wisconsin.

The Speed of That Yankee Meteor.

Professor H. A. Newton, of Yale, writes the following letter with regard to the great and wonderfully brilliant meteor which was seen here in Hartford:
 The brilliant meteor that you describe in your issue of Feb. 24, and which WAS heard to explode with tremendous noise in many places in Maine, appears to have been moving northward. nearly over Portland, Me, perhaps from as far south as Boston, and to have disappeared some miles above the surface of the earth over the middle or northern parts of Franklin county, Me. So far as known no stones have been secured from the meteor. If this is the true path, the body entered the air with tremendous velocity.
 The earth was at that time moving eighteen ruiles second directly toward the point from which the meteor was coming. According to accepted theories, the meteor was moving faster than the earth, and the stone entered the air with the sum of the two velocities. This makes a velocity of more than forty miles & second. In most of the cases where stones have been secured the ve- locities have been not more than tw,mty miles a second. In one instance, low ever, in Stanhem, Moravia, there were secured large number of stones from a meteor whose velocity was as great as that of the meteor of Feb. 23.--Hartford Courant.

General Bouianser In New Yorit.

Don't be startled if tell you secret. General Boulanger, the deposed hei.d of retrograde movement, is in New York. So, at least, a Frenchman tells me who claims to have called upon the general at his secluded lodgings on the east side. My informant asserts that Boulanger has shaved his face clean and is desirous of remaining unknown in the metropolis until his country calls him. In this case his residence here is likely to Do long one.
 There is strong probability that my Gallic friend has given me "a straight tip in this matter. Boulanger took a fancy to New York when he was here at the time of the Yorktown celebration. He likes the life of large city, and has been bored on the Isle of Jersey. Lon don did not treat him well and Paris is denied him. What is more natural than that he should come to New York--the refuge of so many soiled foreigneIrs!-- Cor. Chicago Herald.

} THE ARIZONA SUGAR COMPANY 0

The farmers who may subscribe to the stock of the company will have vital and personal interest in the production of sugar beets.
 Farmers and capitalists can estimate the chances of loss and gain as we'll as the directors of the company, but it may be promised that agricultural land free from taxation forms safe investment, and that machinery which can be im- ported free of duty and enjoys immu- nifty from taxation, is only subject to loss by fire, which can be covered by insurance.
 Land in Arizona will produce at least twenty tons of sugar teets per acre, twice annually.
 The market price will depend upon the quantity of saccharire.
 Sugar beets require neither bagging nor storage; but are cash at the mil, and the company might even be able to ad- vance money on unencunibered land de- voted to their cultivation.
 It is matter of consequence in some parts of Arizona that sugar beets ex- tract alkali from the soil better than any other production.
 After supplying the home market in Arizona with sugar, molasses, confec- tions, etc., transportation is the most serious question, and the, smaller bulk the production of the country can be reduced into the better fer the producer.
 Sugar will bear transportation better than hay, grain, or ores.
 A sugar mill at some railway depot with capacity of 100 tons per day, at $5 per ton for sugar beets, would be 8 great benefit to the farmers and mer- chants of Arizona.
 "he cooperative system of offering the farmers one-half of the capital stock payable in the productions required for the mill has worked we'll in Germany and France, and in fact the cooperative system in every country is the out growth of civilization.
 The farmers interest in the company will be guarantee to the nonresident shareholders of vigilant watchfulness over the management. and by united ef- fort a staple production may be intro duced in Arizona which will enliven the source of all permanent prosperity AGRICULTURE.
 It is not to be overlooked that after the saccharine matter is extracted from sugar beets the residium forms excellent food for sheep, cattle, hogs, poultry, etc., and nothing that comes from the soil is wasted.
 The cultivation of sugar beets may be carried on by the least intelligent labor. Indians, Mexicans, children may all be employed in transplantins the beets and gathering the crop. Only the mill re- quires intelligent labor.
 Sugar industries are being started in many States of the Union less adapted by nature to the growth of saccharine products than Arizona, ard an effort on the part of the residents may encourage assistance from abroad.
Arizona republican., 1891-09-04

The capital stock of the company is one hundred thousand 100000 shares of ten ($10) dollars each.
 s One-half of the capital stock will be sold in the Territory of Arizona, payable in land adapted to the cultivation of sugar beets, sugarcane sorghum and sac charine products at the market price.
 The other half will be sold for cash, at not less than par, for the purpose of pur- chasing, importing and erecting machin- cry adapted to manufacturing domestic sugar.
 The fifty thousand shares reserved for the farmers can be paid for at any time within five years from the date of the organization in land or it's saccharine productions, such as sugar beets, sugar cane, sorghum, etc., etc., and the sub scribers will be entitled to draw divi- dend pro rata on payments made.
 The fifty thousand cash shares must be fully paid on delivery, and will be entitled to a full dividend semi.annually.
 It is reasonably expected that the company can declare dividend of 25 per cent per annum on current business, and have some land left.
 After the capital stock shall have been disposed of and one-half fully paid in cash, the colnpasy will be authorized to issue equal to one-hah of the capital stock, bonds secured by mortgage, upon all the property of the company, pay able in twenty years, with interest at the rate of percentum per annum, payable semi-annually, for the purpose of devoting the proceeds to the purchase of land, and for no other purpose; pro- vided, always, that these bonds cannot be issued nor mortgage on the prop erty executed without the approval of a majority of the shareholders. The Government of the United States offers to pay a bounty of two cents per pound or 40 dollars per ton on domestic manufactured sugar, and to admit free of duty, until the first day of July, 1892, all machinery required for its manu- facture.
 The Territorial Legislature, at it's last session, passed an act exempting all land used in the cultivation of sugar beets. as we'll as the plant and machin- cry employed in the manufacture of do- mestic sugar, from taxation for ten years.
 We imported from foreign countries during the last fiscal year, sugar, mo- lasses, candy and confectionery to the value of $1O1 ,293, ,S26, or sent away up- wards of one hundred million dollars, which can be retained at home by en- couraging the manufacture of domestic sugar.
 The average yield of saccharine matter from sugar beets in France is only per cent, in Germany 10 per cent.
 In California the average yield is 15 per cent.
 It IS confidentlybelieved that the soil and sun of Arizona will yield @ much larger polarization from sugar beets than France, Germany, California, or any other country; and if these premises are correct, the profits will exceed that of any other sugar factory in the United States.

In Early Spring.

Bright days are with us, heightened and seacne, The clods grow mellow, and the forest hath Its budding pleasures; yet of Winters scath Some drear memorials here and there are seen, For, though the wind no moro breathes frosty .. keen, .

"Algebra!" cried Ben. his eyes sparkling.

but five minutes afterward he was speeding
