A Sheriff at the Feast.

Among the letters found in the eff
fects Of the late Emery A. Storrs, the
Chicago lawyer, was one from Chaun-
.cey NJ. Depew asking for an account
OF the dinner Storrs gave the Lord
Chief Justice Coleridge, OF England.
The dinner referred to is one that be
came famous in Chicago because OF
the presence OF a remarkable skeleton
at the feast in the person Of a con-
stable sent by one OF Storrs creditors
to stop the festivities until his claim
should be paid. The presence OF the
man Of law. caused CONSERVATION at
the banquet. Storrs had no moneY

The Great Prestige of Royal
Baking Powder envied
by all competitors.

The envy shown by other baking powder man
ufacturers of the great prestige of the Royal
Baking Powder is not at all surprising.
For thirty years the Royal has been the stand
ard for purity and strength in baking powders,
and has been placed at the head by every board
of official examiners whether State or National.
The Royal Baking Powder Company controls its
own cream of tartar factory and the processes for
making the only absolutely pure cream Of tartar;
it sends it's product to millions of homes all over
the world, supplies the Army and Navy, the great Z
transatlantic steamers, the finest hotels and res
taurants, and is recommended by the best chefs
and authorities on cuisine in every land Its
sale is larger than that of all other cream of
tartar baking powders combined; it has more
friends among housekeepers than any other
similar article.
These facts are bitterness to the makers of the
inferior baking powders; hence their advertise
ments, filled with malice. envy and .fasehood,
against the Royal,

ramrod vlclously attacked his perse-

AS fate would haveit the business
mans friend, being nearest, was the
first to catch it. The hawk lighted on
his wrist and the way he stuck there
was a caution. One claw sank deep
into the hunters wrist and he called
loud and long for mercy.
The business man, seeing that some
thing must be done, at the risk OF his
life finally went to his friend S rescue.
He got a. good hold on the sunken
claw, braced his feet against a rock,
and was successful in pulling it out.
AS the claw came out the hawk fell
back and in a moment was still in
death. They found that the birds
wings measured three feet and ten
inches from tip to tip.-Lewiston Me-

Dangers in the Athletic Lung.

"Athletic lung is a medical term
used to designate the abnormal de-
velopment of lung possessed by some
athletes. The condition is produced
by those forms of exercise that call
for the constant use of the lungs at
their highest power. The result is an
enormous development of lung capa-
city. Such men, upon giving up their
active athletics and taking to sedent-
airy pursuits, are peculiarly subject to
pulmonary complaints. The override
vcloped lung is only used in part, and
the unused cells easily fall a prey to
disease when once an athletic lunghas
been restored to health. The wise
physician forbids any violent athletics
on the part of the patient, for a sec
ond attack is likely to be followed by
collapse. The term athletic heart is
applied to similar condition OF the
heart produced by like causes.

remedy.

At home 1 never was trusted to
play, but often better players could
not afford the time or money to visit
other places, and so I who had both
leisure and funds, was frequently en-
abled to crafty the darling ambition
of all the young men Of Wapanseh
and figure in the nine.
The fourth Of July had almost been
reached; and we were engaged to play
g. match at the town Of Sonerville,
some hundred and twenty miles away.
Somerville boastsd Of it's club, Of
course, for there was not town or
village in the country that has not
its base ball club and literary society.
It was a famous club, and players
almost with awe of it's members, who
gssM.ad graduated into professional mines
5Xtndwere winning and selling-historic
ssyames daily in sight of all men. And
5had it not been recorded in the World
shat once the Actives of Somerville
had defeated the mighty Mutuals by
3 to 2? We had often played with this
club, but never defeated it, though
once or twice victory had barely elud-
thanks to me whom the irate Excel
siors would certainly have lynched
had not their disgust been too excess
sive for deeds as we'll as words.
,s,gs5 The eve OF the great match had ar
rived and was sitting gloomily in my
n bedroom. The door was locked, for
n it was nearly midnight and l was
about to retire. A heavy thunder
storm, with ftful dashes OF rain, was
raging without I was meditating, I
need hardly say, Of next days game.
"Just my luck, Of course, said, half
aloud; ssthe biggest match we ever
played in, and l have no chance Of
playing. Butt" I continued. bitterly,
Elf played I should only play badly.
Upon my word, / think I'd give my
soul to be a crack, player for one
{ year
There was at that instant a fearful
crash of thunder and a blaze Of light
ming so intensely vivid that for few
seconds I was blinded. The little
clock on the mantelpiece tinkled IL.
i At that moment / heard voice say
ing Excuse me-, and felt a hand laid
lightly on my shoulder. Looking
around, l saw q stranger.
He was quiet, elderly man, grave
of aspect, soberly dressed in black.
B noticed that he had two club feet, but
gave this no more than momentary
Rattention. He had a long paper-coY-
cred parcel IN his hand.
Excuse me, he repeated; 81 knock
ed twice, but y on must have been deep
in thought; possibly too, that last
peal Of thunder. drowned my tap.
L was too much surprised at his
sudden appearance to speak for a mo.
ment, and he continued:
Thinking that pro badly you might
want something IN my line, have
ventured to call on my way through
your town." " So saying he removed
the wrappings from the parcel IN his
'hand and disclosed to my view g base

THE DEMON BAT.

had not come to that yet-but an
amateur nine that used to visit neigh
boring towns and villages on Satur-
days and there engage in play with an
equal number Of maniacs similarly af-
fected, beating and being beaten. The
members OF the Excelsior club-all
amateur clubs are called either Ex-
.celslors or Unions-were proud OF their
record, proud of their uniform, proud
OF their village, and their village was
proud of them. Indeed, think that
when one of our number had put on
his white hannels and cOlored stock
ings and star-bedecked cap, and had
.slung q bat carelessly over his shout
der, what with the admiring chances OF
the women and the audible enthusiasm
OF the awe mitten small boys, the
heart that beat under the big E on his
breast throbbed so proudly that he
would not have exchanged his position
say at second base-for that of al
derman or chief marshal OF the fourth
OF July procession-and any one who
has ever lived in a. country town
knows what that means

! was a. member Of the club, at times OF
the nine-an unworthy member, never
a brilliant player, and at ali critical
stages OF close games a nervous one.

Pima Cattle Notes.

Col. r. G. Wood is IN the city after a
months visit to his ranch in the Babo-
quivari.
The large circular stone tank, 30
feet in diameter and feet deep, with a
capacity of $1,000 gallons was completed
last week andis filling with water. This
tank, probably the largest in Arizona,
unlike the bulk of chem, is filled from a
living stream in the mountains mile
and half distant, being piped down in an
115 inch pipe. 1t is the property Of the
Baboquivari Land & Cattle Company
consisting mainly Of Tucson capital
The range Col. Wood reports is splen-
did and Of the brightest hues. Stock
look well and are gaining. There are
few offered for sale in that region.
The roundup from Maish's deep
well to the Baboquivaris vas so un-
wialdy as to necessitate its division,
and about 5000 head of ttle,principally
belonging to Maish & Driscoll and S.
Otero, were returned to their ranches.
A rodeo is now in progress, working
from B. Robes ranch directly south to
the Baboquivari ranch.
Frank Proctor has finished sinking
his well, and is now casing it. 1t will be
complete in three days.
j. Quinlan is down three hundred
feet on his well, opposite Silver Bell,
80 miles west of Tucson, and has strucs
hard rock at that depth, delaying the
progress OF sinking.

Social Notes.

A farewell party to Miss Ethel Ed
munds and Mr.. Ed. Holbrook took
place at the residence of Mrs. Phil.
Drachman on Monday night of this
week. That Miss Edmunds and Mr..
Holbrook are popular among Tucson
young people was most amply testified
by the large company present to wish
them safe journeys and pleasant futures.
Dancing in the large hall was succeed
ed at midnight by table load of good
things to eat, and most enjoyable even
ing Is reported by all. Miss Ednunds
is now en- route for Ogden, Utah, and
Mr.. Holbrook leaves soon for San Fran
cisco, where he intends studying med
icine.
Last evening a reception was rendered
Rev.. Bovard, OF Indiana. the new
Methodist divine, at which his future
flock ssembled and made the acouaint-
auce Of Rev. and Mrs. Bovard. Their
future IN Tucson promises to be a very
pleasant one il so far as lies in the
power of the Methodist people of the
city to make it such.

Hail Chief

The following arcostic was written by
VIM. Zeckendorf--the poet Of the
Santa Cruz in honor of the visit Fl
President Harrison to Tucson. The
letters forming the acrostic were beau
tifully painted by Miss Loretta Lowell
each letter being represented by one OF
the many varieties OF cactus common to
Arizona, and was presented to the presi-
dent when here. AS the CITIZEN man is
not a poet he is not competent to pass
judgement on the amount OF poetical fire
that is supposed to bum everlastiDgly
in such creations:
Hail, chief of our glorous land,
Arizona ioyfu.ly clasps thy hand;
Re-echoes united peoples shout,
Rolling onward DER now historic route.
It greets YOU to our talmy air,
sun kissed hills. with flowers fair;
Our hearts swelling with patiotic pride
No sectional strife can now divide.

The CITIZEN is in receipt of a sample
copy Of the st. Louis Weekly Medical
Review paper devoted to the discuss
ion of interesting surgical operations,
the study of diseases peculiar to their
nature, ,..and the general scientific prog
ress of medicine and surgery. 1t is a
twenty page pamphlet Of neat typo
graphical appearance and is edited by
DR.. George Wiley Broome, a surgeon
distinguished by many years usefulness
in public life in many capacities. The
writer remembers Dr. Broome, when he
was professor of anatomy and clinical
surgery in the ST.. Louis College of Ply
sicans and Surgeons and the consulting
surgeon of the Wabash railroad company.
He has contributed many valuable
papers TO the literature Of medical science
and the fact that he has accepted the
editorship Of the Review will be suffici-
to give it wide circulation in the west
and southwest, where he lie so we'll and
feyorably known.

From Frying Pan to Fire.

But one case-that of Chas. Wright
was before district court today.
Wrights Indictment for today's case
charges him with assault with pistol
on George Eaton near Crittenden on the
22nd of October 1890. There is In con-
nection with the case the making of a
bad matter very much worse by Wright.
The case was originally taken for trial
before Justice Of the Peace Vanderlip at
Crittsnden for trial, resulting in his get
ting a sentence of 6 months imprison-
ment. Wright obtained his release on
haoeas corpus, and this morning the
case come up in court. The jury were
not long out and brought in a verdict in
accordance with which Judge Sloan
sentenced him to Is months imprison-
ment.
There is another indictment against
Wright OF arson, he being charged with
burning Judge Vanderlip's house subss-
quent to the first trial for assault.

GOVERNOR HILLS LETTER.

Governor Hill having been invited to
attend free-trade meeting in New York
at which Congressman "Jerry" Simpson,
of Kansas, was to be the bright particu.
| lar star declined in a letter which Is
worth quoting. Said Governor Hill: Il
cannot attend the meeting, because L
have no sympathy with its profeseed
purpose. supposed my opinions on the
tariff had been so frequently expressed
that nobody could expect me consistently
to attend meeting intended to promul-
gate the doctrice of free trade. AS
a democrat 1 must respectfully decline
to support any movement, no matter by
whom instigated or chsmpioned, having
for its purpose the adoption OF any
suicidal policy as is sought to be pro-
NOTED by the meeting to which you have
invited me-"
When Mr.. Cleveland sent to congress
his famous message in 1887 be was
lauded by his party for his dauntless
courage in speaking his sentiments on
the tariff question, though to tell the
truth, he masked free trade behind tariff
reform. II that was an act of courage
on Mr. Cleveland's part what shall be
said of Governor Hills action? Does it
not require more courage to come out
and denounce a policy to which the
democratic party is generally believed
to stand committed than to dodge
around behind brush fence of tariff
reform which conceals free-traGe bat
terry?
AT all events this letter OF Governor |
Hills will force MIR. Cleveland's hand. 1t |
will not be possible for him to take any |
middle ground in view Of the positive |
declaration that free trade is suicidal |
policy for the democratic party. He
must meet the issue squarely and plant
himself on free trade platform or sur-
render the ground to Governor Hill.
1t is TO be remembered, too that Hill
is a senator-elect from New York, and
though in minority will doubtless ex-
5rt no small amount Of influence in that
body. Taking it all in all, Governor
Hill has put Mr.. Cleveland into some
thing of dilemma. He cannot advo-
cate protection without an absolute re-
,antation Of every political opinion
who has expressed heretofore, and if
1e adheres to free trade he cannot ex-
oect the support OF Hills followers,
which means the democratic machine of
he state of New York. Governor Hill
las burned his bridges, but is ques
ion Whether he has not cut off MIR
Ileveland's retreat at the same time

ADULT emigration to the United States
has 80 far been larger this year than
last. Eight thousand men and women
have left Liverpool this week for New
York and Boston, and a majority of
them seemed TO be in comfortable cir
cumstsnces. According to reports cur
rent at Liverpool, however, the superior
quality of these emigrants is accounted
for by the fact that many OF them are
mechanics who have been engaged to
settle In America in connection with the
establishment Of British mills and fac
tories brought about by the Mckinley
tariff. The engagements are said to be
ct variance with the United States Con-
rsct-lsbor law; but this can best be de
cided on the arrival Of the Cephaionia
snd Boston for these two steamers carry
most Of the suspects. Emigration
agents report that Boston is growing in
favor Of debarkstion, owing to the ease
with which people can get from the
wharf to the rairload, instead of being
landed, as in New York, considerable
distance from the railway termini. y

THE democratic hand that is p8nipu-
lating the Farmers Alliance third party
movement becomes palmer every day.
1t is not pretended by even the most san
guine advocate OF the third party idea
that there is the remotest probability
that such ticket can be elected. Even
il the Southern States in which the Al
lance predcminates were TO cast their
ELECTORAL votes for a third part ticket,
which they Will not do, it would not
change the result. The democratic
leaders, aided and ahetted by the men
who control the Alliance in the south,
are using the Alliance in the states that
have been heretofore republican to pull
the presidential election in the house of
representatives, which they control. If
the Alliance approves of this sort of
thing it is none of our funeral, but we
must say that we should prefer seeing
that organization come out square and
above board for the democratic party.
The result striven for would be precise
ly the same, and there would be no sail
ing under false colors.

that the bodies were subjects of medical
students but the coroner professed to
believe that they are the evidence of
murder.
