Another Enterprise.

The Arizona Consolidated Bottling
Co., Smith and Smyler, proprietors, have
established their factory ON the south
east corner of the depot park property
near the railroad depot. Their machin-
cry is all in position ard they arc only
awaiting the arrival of consignment Of
bottles TO commence operations. They
expect 10 have the business of manu-
featuring their several brands of soda
water under full headway by early
next week. This is one of the largest
of the kind south of San Francisco, hav-
ing factories, besides here, one in Phenix
which is managed by Mr.. Smith, and
one in Florence operated by Mr.. Davis
Mr.. Smyler having charge of the bust
ness at this place. Mr.. Smyler claims
that Tucson is the most favorable loca-
ton for their business of any IN the
territory, as they have been able to
effect more favorable freight rates from
here than from any other point.
This company have Tufts latest i'm
proved soda plant, which has two double
purifiers, equal to four single machines,
used to purify the gas. Mr.. Smyler
knows of no other company in the terri
tory who use these purifiers or any kind
so efficient for the purpose. He also in.
forms US that his company is pioneer
IN the use of pure fruit juices for the
fiavoring, others clinglng to extracts or
oils to accomplish their purpose.
There should be no doubt from the
foregoing explanation of their thorough
and approved methods and superior
facilities for the business in hand that
this company will produce an extra
article and very soon command an ex-
tensive trade through this territory and

MERIT REWARDED.

No one can or will deny that merit
should be rewarded, let it be in duty we'll
performed or in private or in public life.
Every youth in our broad land of the
free realizes the stimulus afforded by
recognized appreciation OF what he at
tempted to perform as the conscientious
discharge Of duty. How his heart pal
pitRted when encomlums were uttered
by either parents or teachers! How he
has treasured mementos Of alluslon to
his efforts to excell all subsequent
years will he remember them as a solace
in his darkest hours. And when the
history Of our country shall be elabor
ately written the names Of many, whose
circumstances have compelled them to
follow an humble and obscure path IN
life will be ranked with noble heroes.
Let none despair. Honor and shame
from no condition rise, act well thy
past, where all the honor lies" Let en-
couragement be extended TO all. The
whole is comprised Of individuals. No
one can accurately predict the destiny
OF that youth guided by the impulses of
an ardent desire to perform his whole
duty as a citizen of great free nation
with the example before him of Wash

said: He was first in war. first in peace
and first in the heart Of his country

Silver.

Silver has appreciated IN value. The
cause which has lead to this advance is
attributed to the operations Of French
trust. Permanent good will not result
from this source. The French combine
realized that England had about ex-
hausted her supply of silver in her an
nual transmission of silver to India and
seeing an opportunity of forcing high
er market profted by it. This, however,
will be poor consolation to American
silver miners who disposed of their pro-

Gold.

A certain degree Of uneasiness exists
in this country owing to the large
volume of gold which is leaving our
shores for Europe and pessimists pre-
dict direful results. We see no room
for fear, however, for it is easy to per-
ceive that this drainage OF our gold is
due to the uneasiness which prevails in
the old world and the critical condition
of the finances of several nations who
in virtue Of the existing financial situa-
tions are realizing upon their American
securities. But when our cotton, corn,
wheat and other products commence to
move the gold will return to us and
quiet the feeling of insecurity that now

The Wrong Place for Lovers,

1t is not difficult to imagine that the
Goddess of Liberty smiled gently and
indulgently as they made their way up
the walk to the Capitol. And when
they entered the hall where the whis-
pering gallery is the sight-seers all
seemed to pause as if they had heard
Cupid flap his wings. The points of in
terest didn't seem to attract them much,
and at last they found cozy nook be-
hind in a corner where the crowd could
not jostle them, and where they were
safe from even the stare of the stair
ways marble eyes.
Darling" he whispered, ''we are at
last alone. You have told me often,
but I want to hear it again. Tell me
that you love me-"
Her lips parted, but as he awaited
her reply there came the words in q
hoarse, british voice:
"You can bet your life do.''
They looked once into each others
startled faces and fed
They had struck the whispering gal
lery and there was an audience at the
other end of the Washington

Chinese Ladies at Washington.

When the ladies of the Chinese Lega-
ton at Washington go out on the street
for walk, they are objects of univer-
sal attention, says the New York
Ledger. Their poor little feet are
mere scraps, and they can not walk,
but hobble along like cripples, clinging
to friendly fence or post if they are
jostled, and sometimes tumbling ali to-
gether like a row of bricks They
never go singly, and rarely extend their
walk beyond sight of their own home.
A servant stands in the front of the
Legation house-be is an Irishman, by
the way-and keeps watchful eye on
all their movements so long as they are
in the street. They do not walk
abreast lest one should fall and upset
the others. They are ruddy of cheek,
and bright and pleasant to look upon,
and they appear to be cracking stipend
Gus Chinese jokes about the passers by
who stare at Thorn too rudely. These
aristocratic ladies are so clumsy, with
their fat hands and little feet, that they
are quite unable to dress themselves,
but require the constant service of a
maid. They appear to greatly enjoy
the freedom of their American life.

The Land of Suicides.

Germany is the classical land of sui
cides and Saxony is its most suicidal
province. To every 1000, 600 of Saxons
there are 400 suicides, although the rest
of the empire has an average of only
$50 to 100 to 1000, 900. In Leipsic the
ratio is the highest in the civilized
world, $50 to 1,OOO 900, or SO more than
in Paris. In London the number per
1000, ZOO is So; in st. Petersburg, 100:
in Berlin, $50; in Vienna, 285. In Prus-
STA the number of suicides increased be-
tween 1850 and 1878 from 1, 1856 to A, $50.
In France, fifty years ago, the annual
number of suicides was l,739. In 1878
it had increased to 6, 434, and in 1886 to
S,1S7. Of the suicides of 1886, 1880 were
committed by men between fifty and
sixty years of age and 924 by men be-
tween forty and fty.-Chicago News.
