A Daring Robber Smiles Over a Six Shooter at
 Seven Men in Line.
ARM0UR'S CONFIDENTIAL
 MAN,
Gets Away With Enough to Last
 Him For a Few Years,

FL PAso, Nov. 25.-Gast night shortly after dark, man robbed Jasper Brolls, merchant and banker of San Marcial, of something more than thousand dol lars. MT. Broils and SIX of his custom CTS were sitting around the stove at the time the robber stepped into the store, with a six-shooter in his hand, and com- manded "hands up." Seven pairs of hands were immediately raised toward the ceiling. The free-booter made the seven stand in line. Another customer entered at this juncture, and taking in the situation, obeyed the order 10 ''fall in line"
 MT. Brolls was then forced at the point of a revolver to run the combina- tion on the safe. The unknown helped himself to the contents, amounting to about one thousand dollars. Keeping an eye on the crowd, he backed to the door, mounted hls horse and rode away. The Tobber had handkerchief tied across his face at the time, and was not recog- nized by any of the party, although MT. Broils is of the opinion that he sold tue stranger a bill of goods few days pre- ylous.
 The boldness of the individual had a paralyziDg effect on the crowd, and no effort was made to prevent his escape. They all agree that the man isno novice in his line, judging from bis business like methods.

A Word About SIiIIet.

The common millet requires 8 dry, light and rich soil and grows from two and half to fO';r feet in height and may be sOwn broadcast about one bushel to the acre CT in drills one half less. Hun garian grass is q species of millet grow ing less rank and with smaller stalks. Both are annU.ls and require to be sown every season. On good, well prepared soils millet furnishes an abundant crop of green forage, and for this purpose may De cut during it's various stages of growth. The seeds are fine and not we'll adapted to heavy soils. There are several varieties, but the common millet, the goICIen --d Hungarian grass are the ones most usually grown. Like the corn plant, 1t requires warm soil and warm weather for it's best growth, and should not be sOwn until these conditions pre- vail. In its green state it has a nutritive value equal to timothy grass, but if left until the seeds are rrpened the stalks be- come hardened and their nutr1tive value Is lessened; consequently it is better to cut it for hay before the seeds are ripe and there will be less danger from over feeding the ripened seed. It is esteemed chiefly for soiling, or as a supplementary crop when the meadows are light and the corn crOpslim. It should be cut and cured while the weather is warm. While many of the annual plants are valuable for forage, none are in all respects equal to timothy and other perennial grasses for hey.

THE Pima democracy is a party of candidates, but the warm, dry shelter of a fat Federal office will be enjoyed only by few. The great majority will have to hump their backs like hungry porkers on cold day before an empty trough, and see the favored fed while they serve. The milk of expectation will become sour and the microbes of jealousy will get in their deadly work on Democratic harmony. But no office IS too high for the hnmblest to aspire to, nor IS there one too small for the migbtiest to look down upon. Eight years ago a proml- nent Pima county Democrat fanc-ed that he had lost the governor hip of Ar izona, but by miste ka he fell in with a line ridership and ell-ped it to his heart with a more intense fervor than he of the parable did his prodieal son. Re- port Las it that this same individual has filed a mortgage on the Custom Collec- torship and is waiting for Christ to turn over the key, but at the same time he wishes it to be distinctly understood that his old situation on the line will not be sneezed at if it floats to the sur face for immediate or future delivery.

THANKSGIVING
Entertainment by the 4. 0. U. w.
 at the Opera House.
Trotting Race at the Park. Large
 Crowd. Good Time.

The entertainment furnished on Thanksgiving Eve by the A. O. U. w. drew an immense audience to the opera house.
 A very neat introductory speech was made by Bro. Hilzinger, who among other things said: Some people are fools upon occasions and some are fools all the time; we will endeavor to show in the performance of these two sketches by our altered manners that p'e are not fools all the time." And re- ferring to his own very apparent cold said, "for my own part you may see have not lost my Grlp.'"
 In spite of these discouraging remarks both farces passed off well, Mess. Reid and Odermatt both acquitted themselves creditably Mr.R tragico-con.ic dying scene in the first piece and MT. Oder matt's delin cation of Mrs. Bouncer the managing landlady in the last were es- pecially commendable. The audience was kept in rOars of laughter all through both sketches. Miss DTachmRn looked pretty and her voice though sweet was rather low for the size of the hall.
 Mss Matas accompanied by Mrs. Strauss sang If Thou Dids't Love Me" and wss recalled by loud applause. The The performance on the mandolin of young Alr. Feldman accompanied by Mrs. Strauss aLd Mir. ErLst was thought by not few to be the musical gem of the eN eJI1g.
 Mrs F c. Smith sang "The Ship wreCk,anG for an encore" Annie Laurie" in way that left absolutely nothing to be wished for Mrs. Smith reaches the hearts of her listeners invariably. She needs however as "ApnIe Laurie to lay herself ''doon" and "dee" every time and never lie "down."
 The piano duet by the two Miss Slew erts and piano accompaniments of Mrs. Ainsa Were excellent performances upon that instrument.
 In reviewing the evenings entertain ment the male quartette Mess. Ohman, Holman, Mahafiie and Prince must not be forgotten. Their number "Row Boatman Row" was wildly encored and they responded a with less serious piece which also took well.
 The A. O.U.W. are decidedly entitled to the thanks of the large number of theIr friends who were thus enabled to pass most enjoyable Thanksgiving Eve,
 KENO WINS THE HORSE TRoT.
 At the Park yesterday afternoon the honors were captured by J. O'Brjen's Keno. Four heats were trotted Keno capturing the first in 2:5434, the third in 2:49, and the last in 2:59. Dan Ming drlven by Billy Reed won the second heat in 2:5214. A big horse owned by Neal started in each heat but really was not ia any one of them. The winning horse was well handled by Jack Blenk horn and logged down the home stretch in the third heat at an easy pace which showed clearly he could have made the mile in 2:35 had he been pushed.
 The excitement was not so great as it would have been had there been single close finish in any one of the four heats. There was not. In the fourth heat Dan Ming was away ahead at the half mile. but broke badly coming almost to stand still and letting Keno pass him with ease.

FREE SILVER ISSUE A LIVE ONE,

There IS one feature of the results of the election, says the Chicago Capitalist and investor, that enfcrces attention to its importance, and that is the attitude Of the so-called silver states in respect to free coinage. It Is a notable fact that the press of these states do not take any stock in the forthcoming international monetary conference nor do they be- lieve Its deductions and results will benefit their interest and the cause of silver in any way. It is certain that they have spoken In no uncertain voice and in view of ali circumstances their action is not surprising. By moving together ID an independent action they have at once brought the silver issue to the front in such a manner that neither of the older parties can longer ignore or avoid it.
 While this is the case it is undoubt- edly true that the older States, the money oenters and the conservative financial, commercial and industrial cen 
 ters do not want free silver and will de- mhnd that their representatives see to it that no legislation is adopted that will flood the country with cheap silver cur rency. But the interests of the silver States are of so great importance and the question of the ultimate fate of silver of such consequence that the wisest and most careful statesu anship and fnanciering abilities may well be employed n devising ways and means of satisfying the demands of the silver pro- duclng States and at the same time con conserving the interests of the high standard currency of the conntry.- Pueblo Ore Review.

Blaine Keeps Them Guessing.

WAsHNgToN, Nov. 25.-Blaine's con- dition was again the subject of univer- sal interest today. Ii was made so by the publication of statements of his ill., ness taking turn for the worse and his life being in imminent danger. If the physicians and members of the family are to be believed, such statements are misleading and not warranted by facts. As near as can be learned, the attack from which Blaine IS now suffering is similar ana no more dangerous than those which preceded it. He caught cold and was imprudent in diet. Some con- gestion followed. Ills stomach was made torpid and it was difficult of diges- tion. Notwithstanding reports to the contrary, it can be eaid that Blaine has shown no signs of IF Fental alteration or delirium. There has been much diff culty encountered in the effort to get re- liable news as co his condition. It is learned that Blaine is soon to be re moved to some point in the South, with the hope that warmer climate will be beneficial to his bronchial troubles, which are aggravated slnce the cold spell set in.

 A swell Englishman arrived at Bur nah during the water feast. He went to call on one of the leading men oi RangOOn in a tall silk hat and black clothes, and was met at the door by a girl with bucket of water. The girl asked him in Burmese whether he was observing the water feast, and he sup posing that she wanted to know whether he had come to see he- father nodded his head, and with that nod this whole bucket of water went over his silk hat and down the back of his collar, co.is- pletely drenching him. During the same time another party of Englishmen were told that some girls were coming to throw water on them. They had the servants bring out the bath tub ;nd put it on the veranda, and when tie girls caIno they'got possession of tie bath tub and splashed the Englishmen until one of them rushing in seized one of the maidens and lifting her up dropped her into the tub. This was considered very iInpOlite, and the young man who did it suffered by receiving no further attention from the Burmese beauties. ies.-Philadelpliia Press.

fine Baropet at the rs.romcs.

Some time ago Sir Reginald Barn well, an English baronet, visiting this coun- try, directed his correspondents to send his mail to the general delivery at Balti- more. Reaching Baltimore, he went to the pOstOffice and inquired of the clerk at the general delivery window if there was any mail for Sir Reginald Barnwen. After looking over the letters in the boy marked "B" the clerk told him there was none. He returned the next day, and still the next, but always received 8 negative response to his inquiry fol letters. lie thought this very strange, as he knew his correspondents must have written, and that his mail should have reached Baltimore even before he got here himself. All this he explained to the clerk, but the looked for letter was not given him.
 Finally, one day after his usual in quiry had been made with the usual re- suit, he said to the clerk, If am not LOO officiOus, might ask to be allowed to look over these letters?' They were handed him, and as he ran over them he kept throwing some aside uDtll ne nad pile of twenty or twenty-five beside him. He then gave the package back to the clerk and commenced berating that of fcial for his carelessness in forcing him to come to the office four or five days excessively for mail that had been waiting there more than a week.
 The clerk then asked to see the letters Sir Reginald had taken out. They were handed him, and on each he read ''Su Reginald Barnwell, Bart" "Why, sir, |" be said, 'these are not your letters; they belong to Sir Reginald B&lnweu Bart, while you asked for the letters of Sir Reginald Barnwep." The baroDet took his letters, not knowing whether to be angry or amused. d.-RaltimOre Sun.
