said to another:
"How old do you think Miss H is?
"She will never see thirty" said the

''She makes herself up cleverly," said
the first speaker, and just then Miss
H walked up. You may never be-

who was inquiring about her age and
who poses as a debutante, and asked her
if she remembered when the cholera was
here. 1t was positively awful. Then
they gave each other the sweet smile of
mortal hatred, and passed on to new

4 Vegetable Bouquet.

While stood in a Sixth avenue drug
store the other evening an old man,
poorly clad, entered and bought bottle
of perfulnery, which he sprinkled over a
bed Of what lookel like cut flowers IN q
tray he carried upon his arm.
He asked me to buy a bunch. "Only
five cents" he said. Ny bouquet con-
sisted of three roses. The white rose
was turnip, delicately carved; the yel-
low rose was made from a carrot and
the red one from a beet.
The old mans skill in duplicating
flowers in vegetables was certainly ad-
mirable and the perfumed spray made
the illusion complete. New York Her

Timing Ones Turns.

When Captain Duncan Knock asked
Jeanie Deanes the secret of her housekeep-
ing, remarking that the fairies must help
her, for the house was always eean, yet he
never saw her with broom in her hand,
she modestly answered. Much migi4 he
done by timing ones turns" We have all
seen such households where the mistress
was always ready to receive her friends and
her husbands friends; where everything
seemed to move by some unseen rhythm
The secret certainly lies in perfect system,
in timing ones turns" doing the routine
work of the house or seeing that it is done
on exactly the same day and time of the
day each week, and in training the serv-
ants to work so methodically that they al.
ways know what is expected of them. 1t
is fatal mistake to call servants away
from their regular work and send them Off
on all sorts of spasmodic errands at any
time of the day. 1t takes time to pick up
the threads Of piece of work which has
been dropped, and work that is done by
piecemeal is never well done.
Ii housewives were more methodical in
their ways of laying out their servants
work for each day. and in adhering to it,
there would be less trouble with servants.
1t is a noteworthy fact that servants re-
main the longest in families where the
work ls the most exacting and is done in
the most methodical manner.-Exchange

GOOD LOGIC.

THE man who pays no taxes and does his shopping through the post office is generally the one who kicks about extravaganza in office and talks about hard tin es, which he helps to create. If every one would purchase at home it would enable our merchants to keep larger stocks and better as- sortment of goods. know of one woman whose husband is well-to-do in the community ind who makes every dollar out of the Tombstone public. who sends away for every par. ticle of wearing appa,el she uses. I know of another mar who is continu- ally harping about hard times who doesn't pay dollars worth of taxes and sends his shoes back to Boston to got them half soled to save l5 cents. There are many instances of this kind especially among these who ought to act differently. G. X.

 Editor Citizen-While in Tucson yesterday l had chat win MT. Hughes editor of the Star and presi- dent of the press association and he asks why cannot the editors of New Mexico and Arizona meet together at Albuquerque during fair week-have little reciprocity so to speak, and a general change of ideas. He said he would do his utmost to bring this about, have written the Democrat and would suggest that you talk this matter over and whoop it up.

SHALL WE
Lose the Opportunity of
 Having a Hotel.

Shall we lose the opportunity to have a hotel :?
 MT Geo Berrott. president, and Geo H. Carol vice president of the Bank of Tombstone have written to R. w. Wood that if the people of Tombstone want hotel built, and they will show faith in such an enterprise, by taking portion of the stock, they will as individual take the balance in order to insure it's success.
 MT Wood informes us that from four to five thousand dollars is all that is now necessary to go ahead with its construction. If the people will sub scribe this amount, operations will commence immediately. The following gentlemen have al- ready subscribed for quite portion of the stock: E. B. Gage, k. w. Wood M. Costello, L. E. Page, P B Warne- kros, M. D. Scribner and others.
 There is no question but that good hotel built here would be ofincalulable benefit to the community, and as an investment would be remunerative.
 Do not let this opportunity slip u ugh our fingers.
 Those who are sending their money to Savings Bank; in San Francisco, and which is used for investment in real estate there, take a few hundred dollars worth of stock, and build up your own community, do your neigh bors some good and you will get three times the interest.
 Business men cannot afferd to miss this chance of having large amount of money distributed in the town.
 Persons desiring to subscribe for stock from fifty dollars and upwards can do so by calling on R. w. Wood at the Bank of Tombstone.
 The intention is to put up hotel costing about $2O,0O0.

 THE Committee appointed to inves tigate the Insane Asylum, Norma School, University and Immigration Bureau have sent in their report. It is of most flattering nature except in regard to the asylum, which they think might be improved by change of doctors.
 They recommend an addition to the Normal School building and other improvements.
 In speaking of the office of Commis sioner of Immigration, the committed which is composed of two democrats who voted to abolish the office, Duran and Tevis, make the following frank admission;
 "After a careful examination we feel it our duty to say that if this Committee had made the investigation prior to the abolishment of the office they would have most certainly re- commended that the office be main tained.
 The money has been judiciously ex- pended by Commissioner Black and in a manner from which the Territory derived the greatest benefit; and we feel justified in saying that, if the office had been retained the next two years, in our opinion, the territory would most certainly have received beneficial results from the money ex- pended.

A BILL authorizing cities to extend their limits and granting additionaN powers to the council passed by the last legislature, gives to that body al- most an unlimited power. They are empowered to make local improve. ment of any nature, and levy a spec ial tax for that purpose. It gives them the power to make a general assess ment or to assess the improvements to property benefited thereby, or both. The bill further provides that the t shall not apply to any city until the city shall have adopted it at special election.

BILL IS.
Chief Justice Gooding Says
 it is d Good Law.
And Gives His Reason for
 Thinkino So.

|, In Phenix on Monday last, (day before ye sterday) Chief Justice Good ing rendered decision in the case of the National Bank vs Supervisors to restrain transfer of monies from general fund account to the new county expense fund created by Coun Gil bill IS of the 18th legislature. The injunction prayed for was denied.
 THE DECISION:
 My theory is that no statute can be held to intend to put it beyond the power of the authorities to keep the courts open. As have said before, un less the courts are in operation, mort gages are not worth anything, notes are not worth anything and life is not secure. The courts are the protection to life and property, and any statute, general in its terms cannot be con. strued as intending to close the doors of the courts. Neither can it be pre- stunned that the officers are going to perform their duties at their own in dividual expenses without receiving any compensation. I think the nec- essary expenses of operating @ court and carrying on the government of a county, are preferred claims. l think when tax is levied for a current year the money collected is appropriated by the levy, first to the necessary compul sory expenses of the county, and after that any surplus may go to discharge the previous indebtedness of the county. I do not think the Board of Supervisors have the power to take the money that is necessary to pay the operating expenses of the county, the running current expenses of the county, and to appropriate it to the payment of old debt and leave the treasury without any means for carry. ing on the courts of the country. If so, if they have that power there Is no compulsion that sheriff shall pay the money out of his own pocket to pay h fare of prisoners from Phenix to Yuma. There is no law requiring the sheriff out of his own pocket to pay the board of the prisoners in the jail in Phenix, and it cannot be presumed that he will keep them located up there and let them starve, and if it were in the power of the Board of Su pervisors to appropriate the money collected for the purpose of the opera ton of the government of the county to the payment of old debts and leave the treasury empty, that would be the result. I cannot conceive that law ever contemplated result of that kind
 "My theory is that the necessary current expenses, that is, the com pu!sory expenses must be first paid when they are paid thed ebts of previous time should be paid, and if they are debts of 8 character, that they are necessary expenses, that they do not come within the contemplation of the Harrison act and are therfore valid debts and must be paid sooner or later and I know of no reason, unless there is some reason growing out of the facts set out in the pleadings, why the war rants should not be issued by the board of supervisors; but not to interiors with the payment of the current ex' penses."

IN uioOuooiuS ehO St"hu JuAy AOPoA0 there is but one part to consider and that is the report of the committee, of which Mir. Storer was the chairman. Now, the PRosPECToR takes the ground that half way of investigating county affairs is worse than no investigation at all and county officer is entitled ojust as much respect and fair play as the people, whose servants they are
 In the first place, reflection is cast upon Sheriff Kelton by asserting or insinuating that he is in the habit of making rebates on licenses, which means that g man can take out c saloon Incense for three months and pay the amount of $5O.; desiring to go out of business at the end of one month, he goes back to the sheriff and gets back the money which he paid for the two months following. Now any school boy can go to the sheriff's office and examine his books, which are as plain as A B 0, and he can see at a glance that no such instance has occurred in the sheriff's office and the report does that officer a great in justice in 80 stating.
 The other point against the sheriff is not we'll taken viz: that he should collect all licenses in advance. They might at least have made the same recommendation in relation to the tax collectors office and have rounded him up for not collecting all personal property taxes in advance, which the law provides shall be done. "What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander" and yet the PROTECTOR does not mean by this that politics played any part in MT. Storer's committee report.
 As to the charges made by the District Attorney for his services on behalf of the county, it is simply a a question of whether they were ex- orbitant or not. The committee says yes. It would have been proper thing to have done to have submitted he question to the judge and leave the decision to him. Lawyers come high, that is if they are capable of fil- ling the position of District Attorney. MT. English's predecessor presented g bill for $l3,OO0 for attending to the business affairs of mining company, during a foreclosure suit. The bill was presented to the court and allow ed, and it is fair to presume that the court would have allowed MT. English the amount asked for his services. The PRosPEcToR does not mean to in- sinuate that this is the reason that a suit for the recovery of the money was not recommended by the commit, tee.
 Of the House Bill IS, which the district attorney drew up and had pa 'sed; the injunction suit; the hold. ing out of $1, 900 to pay feed of pris, Oners etc., the PRosPEoToR has had much to say in the past, and has shown how the expenditure of $45O. in the passage of this bill saved the county $2,000 in interest alone.
 As to the legality of these acts, on the part of the Board of Supervisors the opinion published in another column, and given by Judge Goodine last Monday in Phenix, will determine It is not only complete vindicat.or of the course pursued by the Super. visors and District Attorney, but is { high compliment to the latter gen tleman's legal ability.
