Society Luncheon.

A scene of varied beauty greeted the guests of Mrs. B. NJ. Jacobs and Mrs. s. NJ. Franklin at their residence, on Saturday last, the occasion being a luncheon in honor of Mrs. 1. P. Tich- enor, of Milwaukee, who is visiting her sister, Mrs. w. c. Davis, of this city.
 Tables, five in number, so arranged as to make the guests tete-a-tete, were strewn with trailing vines and flowers in color to harmonize with the colored lights and other decorations, each table being in different tint. The dining room was darkened, and over all was shed the softening effect of an outer circle of banquet lamps in yellow; while ID an adjoining room Prof. Ronstadt slowly swung hIs baton to "Vida del Alma" and other seductive arias for which Rosas has become famous.
 Twenty ladies sat down at one o'clock to "a hest syllabubs, iellies and other such ladylike luxuries," and at four came back to earth from their delight ful sojourn in faryland, each bearing, as a souvenir, silvered oyster shell.
 The guests were Mesdames l. r. IIch- enor, Goodfellow, Pomroy, Stelnfeld, Davis, B. w. Tlchenor, Shibell, Gully, Ormsby, Stolbrand, Collingwood, Heney, Fenner, Nicholson, Tenny-Williams and Brown, and the Misses Pomroy and LiEdley

BURNED HIS BODY.
Murder of smuggler and the Burn
 ing Of his Body0Papagos Blamed.
Yours Truly
 EUGENE SYKES.

The murder of a smuggler ard the burning of his body and that of his horse is reported from the Fresnal county Mexicans in from there. There is no certainty as to the original owner of the bones, but they are supposed to be those of Mexican named Figueroa. The murder is laid to Sonora Papagos and the motive drunken deviltry.
 Last December Figueroa came to Tue son from his home in Sonora, to pur- chase goods for his family. He bought his stock about town, left, and was seen no more. A few weeks ago the discovery of the bones was made, and they are believed to be those of Fgueroa. A great fire had been built and the bodies of both man and horse consumed. No inquest has been held.
 The Souora Papagos are much feared by the Mexicans of that region, when they have partaken of mescal, which is easily procurable. Cases are cited of where they have pursued Mexicans on horseback, and 1t is positively danger- ous, so they declare, for man to travel alone among them. A year ago some Of the Indians pursued and killed man, and the relatives took their trail. The result was capture. They were taken to Sonora, tried and punished.
 Another scrape laid to their door oc cured five years ago. when two pros- pectors were killed. Then the swift re- tribution of the law followed so closely tkat a good effect upon them was mo- tIceable.

ADDRESS OF WELCOME.
Mayor CampbsIl's Address to the
 Arizona Press Association

For the second time the representa- tives of the press of this territory have conveLed in the capital city for the per- formance of the matters pertaining to their organization. Upon behalf of | Phenix I welcome you within our gates.
 There IS no craft CT profession to which the people should feel more kind ly than to the press of Arizona. From the shadow of San Francisco's white robbed mountains; from beside the great red river that skirts our western bound ary, to the border of our sister repub- l lie, the press of Arizona has labored hard and long for the material benefit of our territory. From the time Ariz- ona was bound, like Prometheus to the rock, with the vultures of disaster prey ing upon her vitals, until today, as she stands with outstretched arms towards Washington yearning for the sparkling diadem of sovereignty to be placed upon her sunkissed brow; whatever proi ress and advancement Arizona has made has in great measure been due to the press of this territory. Individuals have earnestly labored in her behalf; the press has labored more, and has achiev- ed better results. The individual, how eyer influential speaks necessarily to a limited audience. The press to a com munity infinitely larger and wider. It bring to itself to wonderful power of diffusion, and there is no limit, save the limits of human civilization, to which the utterance of the press may not go.
 sometimes think of the striking fig ures that the dreamer of Patmos drew in the Apocalypse when he saw a mighty angel coming down through the parted skies; his clothing was as a cloud; there was a rain bow about his head; his face was as the sun, and his limbs were as pillars of fire; he set his right foot upon the land and his left upon the sea, and he cried and his voice was as lion when he roared, and seven thunders answered with their voices. That great vision saw no utterance wider than the thunders as they roll around the Armament.
 And so with the utterance of the press It brings to itself the forked lightning of heaven, and borrowing the wings of steam there is DO limit in hu> man space that binds it, but every- where it speaketh as the voice of seven murders rolling round the heavens.
 For good or for evil, the press is all powerful, and with pride and pleasure can We say that from the time the star of empire along the westward pathway illumlned the confines of this territory, our press has alway arrayed itself, with rare exceptions, upon the side of right, of justice, and of progress. It IS true that here, as elsewhere. for brief while individuals have obtained control of newspapers, and from their rightful mission have turned them into weapons of malIce and diabolical islander for personal ends. Those who have done this belong not now to the press of this territory; it has been purged of the mil dewed presence of these hypocritical vigorous Ieprous mountebanks.
 I welcome you to your labors at this convention, and l cordially hope that they may be consummated with pleas ure to yourselves and with profit to your guild,

CALABAsAS ROAD BONDS.
Eugene Sykes Writes, Stating His Fathers Position7Some Explan- ations.

Hon. Ben Haney IS in receipt of the following letter regarding the proposed Calabasas road:
 CALABAsAs, Ari c., Feb. 26, 92. HoN. BEN HENEY, Tucson, A. T.:-The time of fulfilling the contract on the railroad bonds with the county expires on March l. My father has written to MT. Lacy and Thos. Hughes in regard to the matter, and ask them to do all they can to get an extension of time. My father expected to be in Tucson by March lst, to present his matter before the board of supervisors, but his long illness kept him so confined to his room that he vas unable to make hls ar engagements in time.
 am sure that the road will be built in fact a great part of the money has already been promised-but it is contin gent on the subsidy. If you will read the letter to Thos. Hughes from my father you will understand the situa- tion. If the extension cannot be ob- talped, then my father wants action postponed until he can present hls mat ters-papers, etc,-before the board in person.
 You knew as we'll as I that my father has worked long and faithfully on this project and it would be very hard in deed if now, when success seem near at hand, the county should fail him.

PURE FOOD IN CONGRESS.
Official Determination of the Best Baking Powder.

The act of congress authorizing the examination of the baking powders has resulted in a most unprecedented com pliment to the Royal Baking Powder The tests were made m the government Ia orat " at Washington, and official report shows that he Roy al is superior to all others in leavening stren sth-be- ing over thirty per cent, above the aver age. The report also shows the purity of the Royal P ,wder an the wholesome ntss of I:s iugrt dents.
 This Is probably tie highest complI- ment of an official character ever paid to it proprietary article, though no more than the great army of baking powder consumers would expect in behalf of their old friend and favorIte.
 The result of the official examination, as thus determined, will, of course. make the Royal" the standard for govern ment purchases.

A Hard Corner,

OThe age of 30 is a hard corner for a woman to turn, and B is still harder. She feels that she is fast leaving her youth behind her. But there is no reason why a woman should be faded and passe at 8. or even at 45 The chief cause of the early sfading of American women is found in the fact that many of them suffer from some form of fe- male weakness or disease which robs the face of its bloom, draws idark circles about the eyes, brings early wrinkles and sallowness. and stamps the face and figure with signs of i'll health. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will cure all these troubles, will bring back the lost bloom, and remove the pains and ailments which make women grow old before their tima.

"Some of our best business men jump at conclusions, in discussing a subject with which they are not entirely con versant, and heEce fall into error Probably the most common 'bone of contention" as we'll as the most fruitful source of misunderstanding is the ex- pense fund Of many national associa- tions. National associations that de- duct ten cents fro n every sixty cents of the daes paid in are freely charged with taking out 1893 per. cent. of their re- celpts for expenses. It will be at once conceded, however, that nothing is talk en from the receipts on interest &C., count and the remaining source of profit incidental to these associations. Now, if the accumulations equal the principal in eigbt years this would be equivalent to eight per cent of the to- tai receipts for s years, or two per cent per appum on the average receipts.

A Pure Baking Powder.

A baking powder that can be depend ed upon to be free from lime and alum IS desideratum in these days of adul- terated fool. $ far as can be judged from the official reports, the 'RoyaP' seems to be the only one yet found by chemical analyses to be entirely without one or the other of these substances, and absolutely pure. This, it is shown. results from the exclusive use by it's manufacturers of cream of tartar spec ally refined and prepared by patent pro- cesses which totally remove the tartrate of lime and other impurities. The cost of this chemically pure cream of tartar Is much greater than any other, and 1t IS used in no baking powder except the Royal" the manufacturers of which control the patents under which it is re- fined.
