The Art of Getting Rid of People.

High class restaurants, in order to
preserve their regulations, must keep
Objectionable people away, and to do
this without constantly having
''scenes" that might disturb the
serenity of their regular patrons is a
very important matter. One New
York proprietor has solved the
problem in unique fashion. When an
undesirable customer enters, the wait
er is instructed to take his order, go
off and not come back; and when a
second garcon is Indignantly sum-
moned and sent after the first, he too
is swallowed up in the depths of the
kitchen and returneth not again.
Finally the customer grows indignant,
gets up and leaves the restaurant, VOW
ing never to come back-which is of
course the very end the proprietor
desires to bring about.
This reminds us of the device to get
rid of leisurely eaters that a woman
has had patented and which con-
temporary thus describes:
1t consists of table and stools, both
OF which run on an endless chain. The
diner comes in, takes seat on stool,
pays his twenty-five cents for q meal.
and it is set before him. The table
then begins to move, and the mar
moves along with it. 1t continues tc
move him along until he gets to the
other end of the room, and by thi.
time he is supposed to have finished
his meal, for his dishes slide off arount
a wheel and his stool slides out with
him. There is an endless chaiu O
these stools, and the procession o
diners and dinners goes on continually

Custom In Which the Japanese Hon or

Once year a beautiful spectacle
can be seen along the ocean coast and
on every lake-of which there are
many-in Japan. 1t is the feast the
Japanese make to the spirits of their
departed friends. None are so rich
and enlightened that they do not join
in this, and there are none so poor in
goods and the old faith that do not
claim their portion. Every family
brings to the waters edge at nightfall

casion with boats twenty feet long
These boats, in addition to their sweet
and toothsome cargoes, are rugged with
gay Japanese lanterns, and with these
all alight at a general signal the fleet
is launched. No more beautiful spec

Thousands of Japs join in this who
have not the slightest belief in its

in its tender, sentimental beauty. AS

4 CORRECT REPORT.
Of the D ,ings at Benson
 Last Night.

MT. T. J. White came up today from
 Benson and brings with him some
 bits of information, concerning the | presidents reception there. The train arrived an hour late and it was dark when the salute announced the arrival of the party.
 President Harrison came to the rear platform and shook hands with all who cared to and also said a few words. He said that people of Ari- zona should ask for what they wanted and it would be given to them. Ee had long labored for the land grant coult and at last decision %as to be reached as to whether t!le settlers or claimants owned .i,e best land in Ari- zona. Secretary Rusk was introduced by P. M General Wannamaker. who said that he always made it point to give dollar to each baby who kissed him and invited the mothers to come up with the infants. MT. Tarbell of of Tombstone who was on the platform wanted to know whether it was a sil- yer dollar he gave away, at which the party laughed and to which MT. Rusk answered "Yes it is silver dollar" He then introduced MT. Wannamaker | saying: This gentleman is in the clothing business in Philadelphia and he gives suit of clothes away to every man who shskes him by the i hand. This brought fourth peel of laughter The Htachnca band played national air and the train pulled out after romqining at the station b minutes.

THE LATEST SCHEME.
What They Say About the Tombstone
 Mines at Water Level.

"You have made the biggest strike yet" said an old time miner yesterday, "you have strcuk the right idea regard ing the best method of draining the mines. If you can get down to the level in the Contention, where l worked when the water drove us out, you will have no trouble in getting capital to go into any pumping scheme you may wish to advocate. worked in her from the grass roots down and l don't think prettier showing was ever left alone as long as this one has been. Over half the value Uf the ore was gold and there was one streak of about two feet against the hanging wall that wonlG mill $150 gold and silver. l don't think the depreciation in silver will affect the Tombstone mines below water level as It has above. The ledge is as pretty contact as you ever saw Don't worry about the quantity or the quality of the ore below water. It is there unless the earthquake dropped it out of sight,"
 "I was in San Francisco last No- vember" said prominent mining man "and while there I heard that a company was beiug formed to pump the water from the lower levels of the Tombstone mines. I investigated it and found it true. became acqnaint. ed with one of the prominent hank managers there and he assured me that $500, 900 had already been sub scribed but that they would not start till there was half million to start with. They thought this amount would be sufficient and expected no set back in getting it but it seems to have dropped out of sight for some reason. I only mention this to show how necessary to have an organization in any camp to clinch such offerings when they show up. With $3OO, 900 already subscribed, a slight effort on the part of the people of Tombstone would have brought forth the balance. Organized effort is necessary in all successful battles"
 II calculate" said a we'll inform ed citizen, "that there are improvements in the Tombstone district which show above ground on mining properties costing eight million dollars. A care full estimate of the output above the water level or in other words from the 500 level to the surface. has amounted in round figures to fifty million dollars. The cost of prohibition is estimated at twelve millions which leaves the enormous profit of thirty millions, most of which was realized in five years between 80 and 'S5. What stopped the production? Why water, of course. We know that the best ore was taken from the Grand Central, Contention and other properties the month pre- ceed- ing the burning of the pumps.
 The goose which laid these golden eggs is not dead: she only needs a lit. tie nursing to start her in again and the best thing Tombstone can do is to hire out q. the nurse.

BENSON, 5 80 p. m.-The train con- taining the presidential party arrived at 5:l5 this afternoon. Great prepar- ations had been made for their rec-p- ton. The troops from Huachuca had been drawn up and fired salute as the train drew in. A break was made for the Virginia hotel by the presiden tial party as soon as the train was brought to standstill. Mine host Castaneda had expected them and af ter regaling themselves upon one of the justly celebrated dinners they re. turned to the depot. The president being called upon for speech said:
 "FELLow SOIDrsRs: The hard-hips which you suffer in this country must he terrible. have heard of the ba'- ties you have fought and the victories you have won over the murderous Apaches. The blood you have spilled has been in the interest of the people of Arizona and they do not seem to appreciate your efforts. see by tine PRosPECroR that the people whom you protect are talking of putting in pumps in a place called Tombstone This is wise plan. I swallowed fly myself at Fl Paso and had it not been for the one Mrs. Harrison carried in her valise it would have been on my stomach yet.
 I also see that new hotel is to be built at Tombstone. I am heartily glad, as after the next campaign Mrs. Harrison and may wish to retire from public life and bani>h ourselves from this earth. We shall bear this place in mind. The protection affor- Jed Us in crossing Arizona has been ample. Nothing has transpired to mar the pleasure of our trip but we will breathe easier after we pass Yu- ma."
 At this point in his speech cow boy with big hat and six-shooter came up to get glimpse of the prcsi- dent. Mrs. Harrison saw Iim and pulling the president into the car. closed the door. Wannamaker crawled under seat. It was ten min ites before the latter could be persua- Jed to come out from under the bed and it was not until he had been as. sured that the "bad man" was the Tombstone agent for his Philadelphia clothing house that he condcscended to come to the front.
 The recognition of each other was most touching. Mir. Wannamaker said :"My friends, l am glad to he able to take by the hand one of my 'wn. recognize in this vast assem. hlage many persons dressed in my suits. This is a pleasure I Was unnre. pared for when 1 came to your terri tory. Never have felt more at home than do this minute. The trim fit ting garments which the soldiers wear who have just saluted us are walking aevertisemt nts of our house. We hope to get an appropriation next year to dress the Apaches in civilized clothing. If this is done can assure you that I will be better than ever prepared to give prize with each suit ordered from me by my fellow citizens. read in the Tombstone PRosPECToR that I was heavy stockholier in the Louisiana Lottery ana that opposed it for advertising purposes"
 "Gentlemen, am placed in pecu liar position. The editor of that paper buys his clothes of my house. Busi ness is business"
