PIGEON WHISTLES.

was walking about the streets of Peking with my boy Chang, when 1 heard Emusic in the air''-some far away and some near; some shrill, some melodious. I inquired: "Chang, what's that?" He replied: "Oh, that am pigeon whistles"
 "What is pigeon whistle ?" "I show you," he said, and he ran into a little store and for about dozen cash bought a dozen little bamboo sticks about three inches long, made into whistles, just as our boys make them at Whitsuntide.
 The Chinese tie the whistle between the tail feathers of pigeon, with the whistle end towards the birds head, and throw the pigeon up in the ar, and as the bird flies the air sounds the whistle according to the velocity. There were thousands of pigeons soaring in the air with pigeon whistles, making all kinds of music.
 Any smart boy with a penknife can make pigeon whistle from a piece of cane, or bamboo, or hollow reed, and tie it with string between the tail feathers of pigeon, or any other bird, and have Emusic in the aIr." CD. P.

THE FIRST MILE STONE.

With this issue TIE REPuBLIcAS passes the first mile stone and enters upon the second year of its existence, To place before the public detailed ac' count of the work it has performed in this time would require more space than it would be possible to devote to it. TIE REPUBLICAN was born of two pro- positions:
 CD The necessity in the Territory for a straight-out, answering Republican paper, recognizing no clique or faction, nor clan, but owning allegiance to a united Republican party and Republi- can principles. We have found no req son to recede from this position.
 (2) The demand for a Territorial news paper which would give all the tele- graphic news and do away with the ne- cessity for Los Angeles and San Fran cisco papers. To accomplish this TIE REPUBLICAN negotiated and secured the FULL report of the Associated Press the most powerful news gathering agency in the country. The service con- sists of from 6O00 to 5000 words nightly and TIE REPUBLICAN enjoys the distinc- tion of being the only newspaper be- tween Galveston, Texas, and Los An geles, California, carrying this expensive report. That the business judgment of the founders of the paper was sound is amply proved by the large and constantly increasing patronage &C., corded this paper. In the principal cities of Arizona TIE REPUBLI- CAN is delivered by special car riers, and there is not a hamlet nor mining camp in the Territory where it is not extensively read. From the date of inception, down till now, TIE REPUB- LIcAN has pursued the one consistent course of newspaper. It has been en- terprising on all occasions. It has not hesitated to fight on any public proposi- tion where the public needed a cham pion, and it has not, neither will it in the future, be swerved from any line or policy by fear or favor.
 As business proposition THE REpuB- LICAN enters it's second year with fatter- ing prospects. The trials and the cares incident upon the birth of a newspaper and the swaddling clothes period are behind. The little annoyances which have been sometimes given by open enemies and too we'll trusted friends have only strengthened the paper in the hearts of the people and it's own self confidence.

LITERARY NOTES.

There are two interesting articles on Sarah Bernhardt in the Argonam ol May 4. In one of them "Parisina' tells about the great French trage. dienne's home life in Paris, and in the other "G. B." criticises her perform. ance in "Cleopatra."
 Helen Gardener, whose novel, "Is This Your Son, My Lord ?" has created such a genuine sensation, reaching q sale of 25, 900 copies in five months, is a descendant of Lord Baltimore. Her mother was grand-niece of Sir Robert Peel. The gifted author IS a native of Virginia, her father being well-known clergyman in that State.
 A story of unusual power and strange plot appears in the May CosmOpolitdn and will run through three numbers The story of man, who three times in in his life undertakes to paint Jesus. As young painter full of health and life, full of joy, he puts on his canvass, a Greek ideal of strength and beauty just as the picture is on the point of com plexion, he learns to love beautiful woman who returns his passion. After weeks at her feet he returns to his studio one day, and is filled with disap- pointment when he gazes upon the face of the Christ. It is the face of a beauti- ful heather god bearing no impress of that divine love which the painter now knows must belong there. His canvass is turned to the wall, and inspired by love he sets to work upon the image of new Christ, who would be God of Love. Again his picture is completed when the second great change comes

THE DOLLAR LEFT OVER,

Hon. J. P. Deliver, of Iowa, made a good point when he revived Wendell Phillips aphorism, "The main factor in civilization is the dollar that is left over from the weeks wages after the expen' ses of the family living have been paid That, said Mir. Deliver to the banquet CTS of the American Protective Tariff League, is the dollar that buys books takes the family to the theatre, is laid up for summer holiday or for the pur' chase of piano or for the purchase oI pictures or elegant furniture, or that goes into the savings bank or into the building association. That is the dollar that raises man from the condition ol drudge to that of monarch. There are more dollars left over in the United States of America than in any other country of the world; more, almost, than in all other countries put together. The reason whereof is that we have pro- tected the American producer.
 For example, there is, as MT. Deliver reminded his hearers, the great State of Connecticut, which has million of people, but which of itself does not raise enough farm stuff to feed them for ninety days in year. AS they cannot raise enough food for themselves the United States protects them in produc- ing things which they can exchange for food and by virtue of this protection the Connecticut wage earner gets plenty to eat and wear, and has his "dollar left over." Connecticut manufactures. Iowa is great State that raises more than it can consume; Kansas is another such State. The United States policy of pro lection says to the Connecticut wage earner: "As you have been protected in producing things to exchange for food, so now the Western farmer must be protected in raising food for you to eat. As protection has created Vest ern market for your manufactures, so it will maintain an Eastern market for Western farm produce. As you have been protected against the importation of French silks and English calicoes, so the Western farmer must be protected against the importation of Canadian wheat or Nova Scotian potatoes. And thus it comes to pass that the farmer also has a "dollar left over." Protec- ton to the producer may be defined as the art productive of "a dollar left over from wages, after the cost of living has been paid"

Williams Hotel, MaricOpa.

Maricopa is town of about 300 inhab- itants. It is situated at the junction of the Southern Pacific and Maricopa rail- roads, 892 miles from San Francisco, and 37 miles from Phoenix, the terminus of the Maricopa road. The most import ant institution in the town is the Will Hams House. It is the eating house for both roads, besides being a regular hotel with twelve sleeping rooms and large dining-room with capacity for seating fifty people at one time. A fine bar and billiard saloon are attached to the house, where guests waiting for trains can pass the time pleasantly. The proprietors, Messrs. Perry M. and Cyrus M. Will Hams are both clever and accommodate ing, and see, in person, that all their guests are made comfortable.
 Besides keeping the only hotel in town they are large land owners, owning ,000 acres immediately surrounding the town. They are also largely interested in the mining and stock industries, being the owners of no less than twelve mines within thirty-fve miles of Maricopa, some of which show ore equal to any in

the Territory. They buy and sell cattle, fruit and vine lands, and have large assortment of Indian curios always on hand for the inspection of tourists.
 The hotel is 8 frame structure 44x50 feet, two stories high, and, being new and well equipped, is a pleasant place to stop.
 Both the proprietors are natives of Wisconsin. Perry M. came to Arizona seven years ago and Cyrus M. three years ago. They are thoroughly inden- tified with the business interests of this, their adopted, home, and are ever ready to do anything in their power to ad- vance it's interests. Their business has been a success from the beginning, both being well known, in and out of business circles, as honorable and reliable gentle men. Their future success in thus fully assured,

SOCIETY NOTES.
Tennis Games and Picnlcs--CommencIn
 of the Dull Season.

Tennis Games and PicnIcs-- Commencing of the Dull Season.
 On last Thursday there was most enjoyable picnic at the park. Mrs. A. M. Williams was one of the chaperons, and, with such lady at the head, how could they do anything but enjoy them- selves.
 The several tennis clubs here are aourishing. Friday evening quite an interestingly contested game was played at the home of General sherman. The players were Miss Kemp and Mir. Burtis on one side and Mrs. Frank Nicholson and Mir. Pratt on the other.
 AS the summer weather approaches the amusements become fewer and there is less interest taken in dances. During the past week very little has been going on in the social world and ladies, all who can, are preparing to make summer trips off and those who cannot, or who do not want to, are getting ready for the warmer weather.

THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE

The report of the Legislative investi gating committee published this morn ing, shows that the committee has beer painstaking in their labors. They pay an especially high compliment to ex Commissioner of Immigration Hon John A. Black by stating in conclusion
 After a careful examination we feel 1t oui duty to say that If the committee had made tn, investigation prior to the abolishment of the of flee we would most certainly have demanded that the office be maintained. The money hal been judiciously expended by Commissioner Black and in manner from which the Territor! derived the greatest benefit; and we feel justi fed in saying that, in our opinion, if the office had been retained the next two years, the Ter ritory would most certainly have received bene ficient results from the money expended.
 The committees report on the Insane Asylum was somewhat contradictory while exhonerating Dr. Toney from the absurd charges made against him, and stating that the affairs have been con- ducted with prudence and economy they recommend change of manage ment. As to the cause of the change in face of the above the public are left in the dark.
 The committee speaks highly of the work of the Chancellor and Regents of the Territorial University, and justly so, Few institutions of the Territory can show more persistent or efficient work. They also note with an infinite degree of pride" the prosperous condition oi the Normal school. Referring to the examination of the books and accounts of Territorial Auditor Hughes, the com. mittee says:
 We found them well and neatly kept that the records are carefully preserved, and alto gelher found that his duties are being dis charged intellgently and properly in every re- spect, so far as the committee is able to judge
 We believe on the whole that Messrs. Doran and Tevis have been careful and conscientious in their investigation, and the results will put an end to the inuen. does set up by certain members of the Democratic press. There is no jobbery in it, gentlemen.

The "doctor' was born and christened as Arthur Mer- ton, and was at one time a professor of Oriental languages in Harvard College.

RECENT political events on the south east coast of Africa give renewed inter- est to the theory that the famous king dom of Ophir, from which came much of the vast wealth of Solomon, was To- cated in this vicinity. Not only is the name Coiala, which is at the head of a bay opposite Madagascar, possible corruption of Ophir, but travellers have found an astonishing quantity of gold in the hands of the natives, while several explorers have met with most remarka- ble ruins in the interior. These remains

These works must have been built by foreign invad- CTS, probably representatives of one of the great commercial powers of the an cient world--Babylonians, Hebrews, Ph9nicians or Egyptians-an add strong confirmation to the belief that here was the kingdom of Ophir.
