Prehistoric Arizona.

A fascinating interest will cling about
one part of the exhibit of Arizona at the
Worlds fair, This Is map of prehis-
toric Arizona, as the fragments science
has picked up show it to have been.
The preparation of the map is under the
direction of Professor +, w. Putnam, of
Harvard.
1t will be the largest relief map ever
made in any country, 1t will give a
birdseye view of district embracing
nearly thousand square miles, cover
ing the valleys of the Salt and ella
rivers, Enough remains to reveal that
in these valleys once dwelt mighty
and prosperous people, numbering not
less than 100000 certainly, and prob
ably reaching 100000. Yet this vast
multitude Of human souls has vanished
like the baseless fabric of dream.
Who they were, of what race and
what their progress in civilization, not
the most learned scholars of our time
have been able even to conjecture. We
do not know so very much after all in
our time.
Some traces show great system of
irrigating canals which no modern en-
gineering can excel or find any fault
with. There were cities with 1000
inhabitants at least, but the names of
those cities will be hardly known unless
souls should come back from the silent
realm to reveal them. There are indeed
remains of gigantic volcanic eruption.
with ashes and'lava deposits still in the
bed of the canals, but this is only hint
of how the civilization was destroyed
not of how it was built up.

Doubtless some persons are surprised
to find that Americas greatest band
master, Patrick S. Gilmore. was an
Irishman. 1t is nothing strange, how
ever, for the Irish are capable of any
thing outside of their own country.
But in his native Ireland Gilmore was a
music teacher at the age of fifteen. At
the time of his death he did not begin
to look his sixty-two years of age. AS a
military bandmaster, as the organizer
of great musical "jubilees," at which
10000 voices sang in chorus and fifty
brass bands played all at once, Gilmore
had not his equal in his lifetime. Now.
too, after he is dead, it will do no harm
to let the public know he wrote the song,
"When Johnny Comes Marching Home"
He was SO loved among people who knew
him in private life that even his hired
girl wept like child when she heard of
his death. No higher tribute can be
paid to man.

Tho FlowerIess CITY.

The pet name of Chicago is the
Garden City, or at least it once was,
and the legend ON its coat of arms is,
"Urbs in Horto." 1t therefore seems
strange to read of a monthly or weekly
flower show in cities like Boston, when
an annual flower show is all we can
boast of. If we except the public parks,
there are fewer flowers in Chicago than
in any great city in the world. The
late James Wick stated that he sold
more towering plants, shrubs, and
flower seeds in Rockford than in
Chicago, There are few private green
houses or Conservatives in the city, and
the flower trade here is very small, and
is chiefly confined to the demands of
funerals and weddings. Chicago Jour-

A Chicago Social Settlement.

Four years ago in September some
college bred women established Hull
house settlement in the heart of the
poorest, most villainous and crowded
locality of Chicago. Between shipyards
and stockyards the residents of the ward
lived-people of every nation and kindred
and tongue. There are 10000 Italians
in the district and so many Bohemians
that Chicago ranks as the third largest
Bohemian city in the world. 1t out
Bohemians Bohemia itself in some re-
spects. Here the villainous sweating
clothing houses got their work done by
the filthiest of the filthy, in cellars,
easements and garrets, amid disease
and foulness that scares the one who
stops to think Of it.
There is in the ward in which Hull
house is situated one saloon to every
twenty eight voters. There were 6,976
school children, with public school ac-
commodations for only 1876. The poor
people who lived there did not know
enough to make their educational wants
known to the school board, and when
the citizens of ward do not make a row
about their civic needs nobody else will
supply these needs. That is one of the
things rich American citizens know
which poor foreign citizens do not.
Hull house has succeeded in teaching
the poor people their civic rights to
some extent, SO that now the board of
education is theoretically making pro-
visions for the young Americans who
were growing up in ignorance and
crime. Other things, too, that Lull
house has accomplished are related by
Miss Jane Adams in The Forum. To
read the story impresses one powerfully
that here is the true road to the millen-
mum. Hull house was established purely
and simply to practically carry out the
doctrine of the American republic that
all men are equal, and that larger,
sweeter doctrine still-that all mankind
are brethren. This is to be taken liter
ally and truly. There is no detestable
suggestion of charity about the thing.
Miss Adams calls it 'san effort to-
ward social democracy" She repudiates
root and branch the idea that it is a

Still He Was Happy,

At one of the sessions of the st. Louis
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church Rev. DIR. Shumate, of Glasgow,
Mo-, related the following anecdote,
which brought down the house: "Some
Methodists of an emotional type were
holding an old fashioned meeting in a
grove. Under the inspiration of hearty
singing and fervent prayers they became
shouting happy, and jumping up and
down like plantation negroes at revi-
val made the woods ring with 'hallelu-
iahs.' One man who was more demon
strative than the rest, and who wished
particularly to emphasize the fact that
religion agreed with him, kept waving
his arms in the air and exclaiming,
Glory to God; I'm happyr
''In one of his sky sweeping gestures

something on me. But, glory to God, I'm

Margerita Rivera, who died at Mon
terey, Mexico, recently, was undoubted-
ly 1872 years old, the time of her birth
being duly recorded in the Spanish ca
thedral at Madrid. One would like to
know little more about her-whether
she was spry and could see and hear
well, and whether it flattered her to be
told that she looked twenty years
younger than her real age. Because if
she was blind, deaf, bent double, far
gone in that senile childishness which is
SO distressing and looked like dried up
old Egyptian mummy, then it was GER
tainly no boon to either herself or her
family that she lived to be 182.

BERLIN. June 2S.-Ihe article against
Prince Bismarck which appeared in
yesterdays edition of the North Ger
man Gazette is almost the sole subject
of conversation on every hand tonight.
Public opinion in regard to the matter
is almost unanimously on the side OF
the government.
Tonight's Issue of the North German
Gazette says: prince BSmarck's ut
terances throw a cloud on his great his
toric figure which is calculated to injure
both the state and the empire. Unless
he intended solely to thus vent his i'll
humOr. his action can only be explained
by his desire for personal changes in
the government; and it is feared that
the means used TO achieve this end will
give serious shock to the state. The
question, therefore, is whether he has
not abused his right of criticism. We
don't remember case of similar con-
duct on the palt of retired Statesman
of any country.
''Prince Bismarck'S statement, that
on his departure from office all personal
influence over the cZar ceased, is most
singular case of self-deception." The
paper in refutation of this statement
then refers to the defensive treaty with
Austria in 1879 against Russia. and the
decree of 1887. forbiddng German
loans on Russian stock, and quotes arti-
cleS from the Russian press declaring
that the downfall of Prince Bismarck
was happy event for Russia.

MAI. CAMPS WILL.
Why His Daughter Claims It
Should Not Stand.


Should Not Stand.
There will be legal fight over the
will of the late Maj. George A. Camp.
All doubts on this score were set at rest
yesterday by the filing of a notice of
contest. Mrs. Lucy Won Wedelstaedt is
the objector, and her attorneys have
fled the following objections to admit
ting the late majors will to probate:
First-That said instrument was never
legally executed, Witnessed nor atIeSted, and
was never published nor declared as his last
will and testament by said deceased, as re-
quired by law.
Secondhand said George A. Camp. at the
time said alleged will purports 10 have been
executed. was not of sound and disposing
mind and memory, but was weak-minded
and mentally incaDacitated and unfit to make
and will or disposition of his property.
Third-That said George A. Camp was un-
duly influenced and induced to execute said
alleged last will and testament through un-
due influence ard persuasion, used, exer-
cised and practiced upon him while in a
weak, diseased and unfit mental condition,
which incapactated him from executing any
will or testament whatsoever, and that such
undue influence was practiced and exercised
upon said deceased by Jessie d. Carr Searles.
of Salinas City, Monterey county. California.
and by divers other persons whose names are
now unknown to this contestant.
: Fourth-That snid instrument propounded
as the alleged last will and testament of said
George A. Camp is not his last will and tes-
lament, by reason of his mental incapacity
10 make such will, and by reason of the
undue influence used and practiced by
said Jessie D. Carr Searle upon him at or
about the time said instrument purports to
have been executed. and because the same
was never legally witnessed attested or de-
clared to be the last will of said deceased.
Wherefore, contestant prays that said al
legged last will and testament be not allowed
or probated as the will of said deceased, and
that his estate be administered ss Of one
