LAST MONDAY was the day for taking the
vote Of Arizona for and against the pro-
posed state constitution. 1t permits corpo-
rations TO sell water for irrigation. and
allows unlimited loaDs-clauses which are
said TO be unpopular, but the sentiment for
statehood * so overwhelming that the con
stitution viii probably carry, in spite Of its
defects.
MARCUS AuREL1Us SMITH, the Congress
sional delegate, has arrived IN Washington
ana says Arizona viii be a state before his
Nebsterian head shall be denuded OF its
hirsute glory, as he puts it-meaning before
he has his hair cut This cheerful Arizonian
further remarks:
One Of our counties is worth oil Of Idaho and
wyoming put together. Even far-famed
Southern California is inferior in many re-
spects. We raise better grapes than can be
raised in California. and we make better wine.
a great many Southern Californians have uur-
chased land in our territory-the territory
which, as a state, will be soon known as rhe
Italy OF America; the place where the one

The REPORT OF the superintendent OF the
Dead Letter Office, just sent in 10 the
postmaster general, shows a very large
increase in the amount of correspondence
forwarded there from the cities as being
undeliyered. The fact that 20 per cent of
The letters were afterwards delivered
shows that something other than carleess-
ness in the direction was at the bottom of
the trouble. Much of this sort of mail
goes to the Washington office for want of
proper attention at the carriers division
OF the postohices in not keeping up with
removals from place 20 place. Another
cause Is the failure to supply postohices
in each city that has the same name rs
Others in different states, with the direc-
tories Of those other cities, whereby the
error Of address could often be corrected.
OF course the great cause of the crowding
of the Dead Letter office viii continue to
be carelessness in writing the superscrip-
ton

THE FIELD DISASTER.

The family of CYRUS w. FIELD will
think these days of the familiar saying,
ut never rains but it pours." Two weeks
ago the FIELDS were among the presum-
ably wealthiest and supposedly happiest of
Americans. The head of the house. the
venerable CYRUS W., was bright of mind
and physically strong and active for one of
his years His wealth was believed by
him and others to run into the millions.
His wife, his companion and helpmate for
nifty lone years, was with him. His son
was at the head of a big and what was
thought TO be prosperous financial con-
Germ His daughter was the happy wife of
man who stood high in social and bust
ness circles. There would seem to be little
more inthis world that the FIELDS could
desire. In less than two weeks all has
been changed, and one of the most
/ disastrous wrecks ever recorded has been
wrought. The aged wife and mother has
| been laid in the grave. The son, the pride
ana boast of all the others, has been shown
10 be the colossal thief and migrate Of the
age. He has pauperlzed himself, his father
and relatives, and robbed friends and those
who trusted him, and is now seeking re-
fuge In an insane asylum from criminal
prosecution. The daughter is on her death
bed. and the aged father is swiftly dying in
home which belongs to another, dis
tracted and broken hearted by the grief
and shame and poverty which have come up
on him so suddenly and with such terrific
force.
The suec1scla is indeed nitiohla ooa
and when one gazes upon it he is forced to
ask OF himself, at least. why such things
should be, why such awful distress should
be visited upon people who cannot have de-
served the infection.

charities as the majority of them might
determine. This portion of the will has
been in the chancery and equity courts
ever since, and lately it has been decided
that it is void, on the ground that there is
no beneficiary by whom it can be carried
out This is substantially the decision
arrived at in the appellate court of the

MR.. WINDOWS LIFE.
Long Career of Public Service In the
House, Senate and Cabinet.

A Long Career of Public Service In the
House, Senate and Cabinet.
William Window was born in Belmont
county, Ohio, May 10. 1927. He received
an academic education; afterward he
studied law at Mt. Vernon, O., and was
admitted to the bar in 1850. Being of
genial disposition and possessing consid-
cradle legal talent. he was made prosecut-
ing attorney in 1852, which position he
held until 1855, when he removed to Min
nesota, where he continued the practice OF
law. Soon after his arrival in that state he
became identified with politics and in
short time became very prominent figure
in the ranks of the republicans. In 1853
he was elected to the house OF representa-
tives OF the Thirty-siXth congress by his
party. During this term he served as a
member of the committee on public lands
and on the special committee OF thirty
three. In the Thirty-seventh congress be
served on the committee on public ex-
penditures; IN the ThirtY-eighth as chair
man OF the committee on Indian affairs
and OF the special committee to visit the
Indian tribes OF the West in 1865; in the
Thirty ninth he was one of thecommitteeOn
the death of President Lincoln was again
chairman of the committee on Indian af-
fairs and chairman of special committee
on the conduct of the commissioner OF
Indian affairs. He was also delegate to
the Philadelphia "Loyalists convention"
in 1856. He was reelected TO the Fortieth
congress, where he served on the same
committees az he had previously. In 1870
after a period OF eleven years service in
the house of representatives, he was APP
81 20
the unexpired term of Daniel s. Morton,
deceased, and was subsequently elected
to the senate for the term that ended in
1877. During this term he served as
chairman of the committees on enrolled
bills and on transportation and as a menu
Der OF the committee on appropriations.
In 1877 he was reelected for the term
ending in 1883, but resigned in March,
1881, to accept the portfolio of the secre-
tary oil the treasury in President Gar
fields cabinet. On the accession OF Presi-
dent Arthur he retired from the cabinet
and was reelected to the senate to fill the
vacancy caused by his own resignation.
For the five years after he left the senate
Mr.. Window made New York bis head
quarters, giving his attention to his law
practice and other business, having little
or nothing to do with Minnesota politics
In 1889, after Senator Allison had declined
the post OF secretary OF the treasury, ten
dered him by President-elect Harrison,
Mr.. Window was brought forward as a
prominent western man acquainted with
finances, and was appointed as secretary
of the treasury by President Harrison, in
which capacity ne has served ever since.
Mr. Window was the author of the bill
creating division OF internal commerce

tainment came to an end and the guests
dispersed. The president and Mrs Har-
rison had started home a few moments
before the sad news came, only TO be ap-
prised OF it when they reached the execu-
tive mansion.
The announcement gave almost as great
a shock TO his official friends and asso-
ciates as did the shooting of President
Garfield to the members of his official
household. 1t was so terribly sudden
and unexpected that all who heard the
news were profoundly shocked and so
overcome as TO be unable to express the
grief they felt. AS soon as the tele-
gram, bearing the sad intelligence
was received by the Associated
Press, its contents were immediately
the white house. He was in the library
at the time talking with Mrs. Harrison,
and when the message was read
to him he wss greatly distressed
and almost completely overcome. He
Immediately ordered his carriage and
went at once to the house of the postmas-
ter-general, but few blocks away, where
a cabinet dinner had been in progress
and from which he had returned but few
minutes before. 4 reception had
followed the dinner, so the guests had
not all dispersed. Mrs. Window and her
two daughters and Mrs. G. Colgate of
New York, who is visiting her, we're
among those present at the reception.
As soon as the president arrived he had
a hurried conversation with Secretaries
Blaine and Proctor and the postmaster
general, and told them of the grief that
had befallen them. They then pri-
vately informed Mrs. Colgate of Mr..
WINDOWS death and she, without
exciting the suspicious of Mrs. Window
and her daughters, succeeded in getting
them into their carriage and home. The
rest, Secretary Proctor and Postmaster
General anamaker, entered a carriage
and followed directly after. When Mrs.
Window and her daughters reached
the house, Mrs. Colgate gently
broke the dreadful news to the
bereaved widow and her daughters.
Mrs. Window was completely overcome
and had to be assisted to her chamber.
The shock was terrible one as when the
secretary left Washington this morning
he seemed in the best of health and
spirits. The president and the members
OF his cabinet who were present extended
their sympathies TO the stricken family
and offered their services 10 them.
The funeral services of the deceased
statesman occurred quietly at Washington
last Monday.
