Horse Thief Caught.

The arrest of Ernest Stedman last | night was the culmiDatIon of a good | piece of detective work by Marsha al Blankenship extending over a period of three months.
 Some tune last April valuable stai-
 lion was stolen in Yavapai county, and
 it was believed that Stedman had con- | cealsd him. Soon after that Stedman
 left the cou ntry and the authorities
 notified Marshal BiankeDship and gave him printers by which he might con-
 nect Stedu an with the theft. It turn ed out that SJedman did not come here | but went to New Mexico. He is jock
 ey and the marshal having learned this | traced him along the course of the cir cult to Silver City, through Like county and 10 Tcc0rro. There, it
 Is sud, he stole another horse. Recently he came to Mesa and though his whereabouts were well known it was still difficult to show that he had stolen
 the stallion. Last Friday be came to the city in search of work and that he
 might keep him under surveillance the
 marshall got him a job having in the
 meantime located the stolen horse. He at once notified the Yavapai authorities by wire, and pending their action kept close watch upon Stedmal.
 Yesterday Stedman drove the Mesa stage out and the marshal seeing how easy he might escape if he once took alarm determined to arrest him on in- formation and suspicion immediately upon his return. It appears though that Stedman was not suspicious aLd when he returned last night he was met by the marshal who broke the news to him as gently as possible but took him in all the same. He was turned over 10 the county authorities and the Yava- pal Cfficials were notified of the arrest. The horse is also cared at the Monihon corral--Republican.

The Manufacture of Cripples a Common
 Practice in Spain.

The Manufacture of Cripples Common
 Practice in Spain-
 The Paris gingerbread fair, as it is called, which is held every spring in the faubOurg St. Antoine and Place de la Nation, is notorious for the number of natural and artificial phenomena ex- hibited there to the public. This year, says a correspondent in the London Standard, their number has been great ly increased by the arrival of about twenty culs-de-jatte, who are wretch edly lodged in huts on piece of waste ground in the cour de Vincennes. These cripples, whose minute, shriveled-up legs are curled up on the boards on which they sit, form a colony, which calls to mind the cour des Mir acles of former times. Every morning they all issue forth, prOpelling them selves with their hands, to take up their places at the fair, there to await the pence which may be thrown to them by the compassionate passers-by. Their as pect is so pitiful that it is said many of them make a rich harvest, which, how ever, of course goes to the beggar farmer" It appears that twenty or thirty years ago the culs-de-jatte were almost unknown in France, and that these deplorable looking cripples are the product of what may be called an industry. Almost all these numerous de- formed little creatures come from Spain, and more especially from TOlosa. or the neighbOrhOod situated at about fifteen fn hn nf They are the outcome of the abOminable practices of beggar farmers" who seek their victims among the children of the peasants. When there is weak ly boy in the family they persuade the parents that he can never be anything but a burden to them unless they con- sent to have him transformed into a cul-de-jatte, and promise to- pay them a triflc a day so long as the cul-de-jatte is left with them. The operation to which the unfortunate creature is sub jectcd is as effectual as it is simple The legs of the child arc so tightly compressed that the circulation of the blood in them is stopped. Little by little the legs wither away, and the cul- de-jatte is manufactured In 1887 Waldeck Rousseau, the minister of the interior, prohibited the introduction of these Spanish euls-dc-jatte into Franco. but it is estimated that recently three or four hundred of the poor creatures cross the frontier every year. They are now seen in almost every town in France, and have got as far north as Belgium. To be a cul-de-jattc must be a profitable trade for the beggar farm CTS who manufacture them and bring them from Spain, as these traders pay the parents of the poor cripples pit tance of only fifty centimes to one franc a day for their hire.

A WICKED KICK.
Tucson Schools and School Teach
 CTS.
TUCSoN, Ariz., July 20.

TUCsoN, Ariz., July 20. EDITOR STAR:
 You have done the teachers employed ln the Tucson public schools a manifest injustice by publishing to the world that number of them are incompetent to teach and control the children in tEe respective grades of said schools. The charge, besides being absolutely untrue, IS mace in a manner, which, although It has another character, 1 will be charitable enough to qualify 1t as un- fair.
 You have excepted the undersigned from the charge of IncOmpetency, but even that exception carries the charges in sort of irony, for I cannot conceive now principal could have been in the right place and allowed incompetent teachers to impose on the parents and the public for whole year without re- porting such fact 10 the proper authori- ties. 1 am sure that the charge of iL- competency can not be sustained against any teacher employed in the public schools of this district. How ever, if my judgment is not correct, then 1t can be very easily ascertliDed whetherthere is any truth m the charges made, or if 1t only means that someone who has a new ax to grind Is trying to give the editor of the Star the unprofit- able job at the crank.
 The board of school trustees will at all times be ready ard willing to hear any complaints against any teacher or employe of the district, when presented in accordance with law ard decency. But parents must not shield themselves behind the newspapers, neither must the newspaper editors be too anxious to shield themselves behind the parents or the imaginary Eve have heard it sald," etc.
 How can the readers of your paper decide upon the truth or falsity of your statements when the three essentials in any accusation are no: given, name ly: the names of the parties charged, the specific nature of the charge, and the names of the parents who complain.
 h justice to all concerned 1 respect fully request you to name the teachers and also to state if you or any of the parents are ready to appear bsfore the board of trustees to verify what now has the character of a vague accusation and useless attempt to gratitiy per sonal spite by unfair means and by which the school teachers are to be made the victims.
 Very respectfully,
 c. H. FULLY,
 Principal of Tucson Schools.

The Dried Fruit Outlook.

A look about the markets of San Francisco and talks with some of the heavy dealers in dried fruits lead to the conclusion that there will be good prices and plenty of buyers before lCng.
 Some samples have been sent to San Francisco and few carloads have changed hands. Buyers are net offering more than ten cents for apricote, and seem to think that eight cents is about the right figure for peaches. These fig ures will both be "a sed before six weeks rolls around, or else all signs fail.
 Our advice is not to clean up ID hur- " on dried fruits. Prices are stltfening and the market will absorb very large quantity.-Citrograph.

Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for
 August.

The Midsummer (August) number of Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly has an appropriately breezy and outdoor tone throughout. The leading article, Sum mer Outing by the Midnight Sun," by Ann M. Reed, IS admirably written in thIs spirit, and occupies fresh fields by describing the voyage to Norwsy's won derland and the North Cape. h aroth- ar charming descriptive article, "The Tuscan Coast" IS visited. This paper with its rich and profuse illustrations, has peculiar timeliness, inasmuch as it was Ott this same Tuscan shore, between Leghorn and Spezzl4, that the poet SEe.ley Che centennial anniversary of whose birth is being celebrated in Eng land this summer) was drowned in July 1922. Some French Women of Let
 ers,' including Mme. Adam, SeveriEe, "Gyp." Carmen Sylvs," Judith Gauth- fer, and others are interestingly charac- terized by Arthur Ho-nblow. Other notable illustrated articles are: "Domes, Towers and Spires" by Peter Macqueen; "Oxiord in the Lorg Vacation" by N. w. Metsalfe; Canal boat Life and the Coal traffic" by Thomas Murphy; and Cane Culture" (nOtes from Sugarland) by w. Jennings Warrington. A new serial story, of the detective type, entitl- ed "The Great Caantry Diamonds" by DanIeI Dane, begins ia this number.

4 SHAKESPEAREAN RELIC.
A Piece of Wood from a Tree Planted by
 the Great Poet.

A Piece of Wood from a Tree Planted by
 the Great Poet.
 F A gentleman visiting Stratford-on- Avon, E. B. Watts, a railroad manager, has just had the good fortune to meet with and acquire, in one of the neighbor- ing towns to Stratford, slab of wood cut from the veritable mulberry tree Shakespeare himself planted in New place garden, where he resided and died, writes a correspondent. This mulberry tree was cut down ruthlessly by Rev. Francis Gastren in 1756. and so irritated were the tOwnfolk of that time that some of them smashed the rev erend gentleman's windows. This slab of mulberry wood has been traced back, beyond all doubt, to the possession of Miss Davenport, the only daughter of the vicar of Stratford-on-Avon in 17ST, a period when the cutting down of the tree would be fresh in the memories of persons then living. InJ. O. Halliwell- Phillipp's Outlines of the Life of Shakespeare" page 3S0, we find: ''Rev. MT. Davenport, observes Malone, in- forms me that Hugh Taylor, who is now Q79O) eighty-ive years old, and an alderman of Warwick, says, when boy at the next house to New place, that his family had inhabited the house for almost 300 years, that it (the fact of Shakespeare planting the tree) was transmitted from father to son dur ing the last and present century," Miss Davenport married Rev. John Pegler, who was vicar of the neighboring parish of AlvestOn, but re- sided in Stratford-on-Avon. Rev. John Pegler gave the slab of wood to a Mir. Bannister, his solicitor, residing in ShiptOn-On-StOur, near. StratfOrd. At his death it passed to his sister. Miss Bannister, who lately died, and at he sale of her effects in 1889 at ShiptOn-On- Stour a resident there purchased the slab, from which it has been acquired by Mir. Watts. The slab measures 1O]5 inches diameter lengthways and 8 inches diameter crOsswayS. It is , inches in thickness and weighs 1415 pounds, rather surprising weight for the dimensions of the slab, but the wood is very dense. The bark has been removed and the slab is free from cracks and quite solid Either to be cut up into veneer sections, polished and framed. or to be cut up for mounts, to be set in jewelry, it would be worth its weight in gold. Taking the weight at 1411 pounds, or 174 ounces, and at the price of standard gold, e3 IFS 9d per ounce, the slab of wood might be appraised as worth, say, s3.400. This interesting relic of Shakespeare has been deposited in the care of Richard Savage, Esq, the secretary and H. brarian of the Shakespeare Birthplace trust, Stratford.on-Avon.

ENGLISH MANUFACTURERS. !
Fully Awakened to the Importance of
 Exhibiting at the Worlds Fair. ;.

| Fully Awakened to the Importance of | Exhibiting at the Worlds Fair. | Hon. Robert :. Mccormick. the of | ficial representative of the exposition. in | London, writes that on Saturday, May f 21, on wh,sh date it had been announced
 that the time for applications for space
 in the British section would expire,
 there were seven hundred applications | on the books of the secretary of the royal | commission, or an increase of three hundred and thirty in number since the
 early part of the preceding month. This
 increase is undoubtedly due to the ! abolition of the charge for space. as | well as to the energetic work in the : 7 manufacturing towns, in which the United States cOnsuls have taken very
 active part Mr. Mccormick alludes to
 the fact that the trade journals very
 generally have copied the address made
 by him upon the Columbian exposition
 at Chicago before the Society of Arts,
 and they have, without exception,
 urged the manufacturers throughout
 Great Britain and Ireland to send
 worthy cxhib bits to Chicago. Mir. B. Maple, in a speech re-
 gently made before the furnishing
 section of the London chamber of com
 mcrce, advises all the representatives
 of that great. industry to exhibit at Chicago notwithstanding any restric- tiOnS that might be made, because there would certainly be exhibitors in the trade from other countries. This shows that it is at last beginning to dawn fNf they must protect their trade in other parts of the world than the United States, and that to make good exhibit at Chicago Is an important step in that direction.
 Mir. Mccormick, in writing upon the subject of the Irish village, says that an agreement has been entered into for uniting the interests of the Donegal Industrial fund, represented by Mrs. Earnest Hart, and the Irish Industrial association, over whose operations the countess of Aberdeen presides. The Irish village will be constructed, pro vided satisfactory arrangements can be made for the concession. It is intended that the Irish village shall be regular stall or bazar for the sale of Irish goods, and the profits, after paying the cost of the village and the expenses of it's main tenance during the exposition, will be divided equally between Mrs. Hart's Donegal fund and the Irish Industrial association Information as to how far these ladies can carry out their inten- tlOns of establishing such a bazar for the sale of Irish products has been re- quested by Mir. Mccormick, and upon receiving it he will forward more ex- plicit details concerning them. In some instances samples of Irish laces, linens, and other fabrics have been sent to Mrs. Potter Palmer
