Metal Bank Notes Proposed.

Sir Henry Besserner recommends the issuance for monetary purposes of what may be called bank note made of metal. It would answer all required purposes and would make forgery and fraud next to impossible. His proposi- tion is to take thin plate of aluminium, suitably stamped and engraved, about the size of the iorin, this disk of the strange new white metal" to serve the purpose which the one pound English bank notes now fill; that is to say, it would represent the value of one pound and should be made redeemable on pre- sentation. Its intrinsic value would be small, of course, but by means of a newly invented process it could be made so it would defy all the ingenuity of the forger, which would really make it a thing of great value after all. The metal is so light that the little alumni mum disk could never be mistaken for a silver coin; and it would surely be a much pleasanter thing to handle than a crumpled. dirty bank note, impregnat- ed. possibly, with the germs of many diseases

IT is said that when the Shah of Persia visited England some years ago he was entertained at Stafford House, the town residence of the Duke of Sutherland. So impressed was the Oriental visitor with the magnifcence of his hosts surroundings that he afterward privately advised the Prince O Wales to have the Duke quietly strangled and confscate his estates. Would not this Persian style work to advantage in the more equal division of wealth in our country2-

GIRLS IN A FIRE COMPANY.
Protectors of an English College Building c
 Worth Millions of Dollars.


 One of the most interesting things about the Holloway College for Wom- CT, in Surrey, is the fire brigade of girl students, who are trained to protect the magnificent four-miilion-dollar build ing from the possibility of destruction by fire. From large water tower the hydrant supply is distributed by water mains all over the vast building, and last October the fire brigade was regu- larly organized, with Miss Bishop, the principal, as captain. In describing their methods of work a correspondent of the Philadelphia Press says: The Holloway Volunteer Brigade" formed in three sections of ten students each, these representing the occupants of different floors. They were drawn up in line at Right turn! Quick march! Position!' Then each section went quite through with two full drills A fire in sitting-room No. 10 was supposed At commando: Get to work,' the engine was run down to the doorway, a ''chain" of recruits was formed to the nearest source of water supply, and the buckets were handed in line that the engine might be kept in full play. The pump was vigorously applied by two girls, while another worked the small hand hose quickly and ingeniously, so that the engine was at full speed in less than a minute. When the drill was concluded with the orders: Knock off and Make up!' everything had been put in its own place.
 Then came the ''hydrant drill" which was conducted at the hydrant nearest the point of supposed out break of fire. In this six students from each section took part. Directly the alarm was given one hundred feet of canvas hose was run out and an addi- tional length (regulated. of course. by the distance) was jointed to it. At the words Turn on!' by the officer known as the branch hOseman," the hose was directed so that had there been water in it it must have streamed on to the supposed fire. This drill was also ac- complished in only minute, and at the command Knock off" and Make up.'' the hose pipes were promptly discon- nected. the pipe that is always kept attached to the hydrant was ''slacked down" and an extra one hundred feet ''coiled up" on the blight with astonish- ing rapidity.

NEVER before in the history

NEVER before in the history of the county have the candidates for office felt obliged to contribute so slightly toward campaign expenses as this year The .heriff's office has formerly contributed more money to the fund than all candidates combined will put up this year. still there are certain expenses to be met that require money. The several county commit tees have to provide for meetings, and to pay expenses of advertising, rent, music, etc. The circulation os cam paign literature Is no email item. The printing of banners and carriage hire to bring the voters to the polls all cost money. The spending of large amounts of money on election day will no longer be profitable, owing to the change in the ballot law. The campaign must be one of education. The bar'l is no longer factor in Co chise county. Between 5000 and s7,0O0 has heretofore been raised from candidates by each party committee. The candidate can congratulate him. self this year that the Australian bal lot law is on his side

GOOD LUCK MADE HIM MAD,
Disastrous Result Of Finding Roll O
 Bills in tue Street.

Bills in tue Street
 have a friend. says q correspondent of the St Louis Globe Democrat, who was driven mad by marvellous freak of good luck. He was young newspaper reporter who was just learning the business. aud who had eked out pre- carious existence for year on twelve dollars a week.
 Walking along one day he found thirty-seven hundred dollars wrapped up in a bundle with rubber string around it. Frenzied With delight at his good fortune, he struck bee line for the newspaper office where he was en- Ployed. resigned his position without assigning any cause, and left Nilwau- kee on the first train to Chicago.
 In that city he lived riotously for eight months, and though he read ad- vertisements in the papers of the un- fortunate bank collector who had lost the money, offering one-half of it if the finder would return it, he paid no atten- tion to these appeals.
 At the end of that time he .'blew in" all the money and then came back to Milwaukee. But he was a different mar from what he was when he left in such delirious glee. His old position at an increased salary was offered to him, but this he refused, though he didn't have cent He did no work nor did he want any.
 He put in his time walking up and down the street on which he had found the money. Day in and day cut he trarnped that street with his head bent forward like a man looking for a pin on the sidewalk.
 He kept this up for nearly month Continual and dogged disappointment made the strain too great for him to bear. His mind broke down under it. and he was carried to the asylum a rav- ing maniac. He is in the asylum now, his lunacy is pronounced incurable, and he is the most pitiable, abject creature 1 ever saw.

SPEARS, who shct three of the Dal- ton brothers at Coffeyville is likely to be well paid for his good marksman- ship. The rewards offered by the various railroad and express compsn- ies for the capture of the noted desper- ados amounted to about 5000 on each. If Spears gets s27 900 for his sharpshooting, which seems probable, he will feel that the time expended in rife practice was not wasted.

THE nominations for city officers made last night are before the voters of the city. Both tickets are com posed of good men and the nominees for mayor are well known citizen who have hosts of friends. Mir. Fitts, the Republican nominee. has been a resident of Tombstone for ten years, and has built up business that is monument to his energy and business qualifications. MT. Cohn, our present mayor, having been renominated, can point with pride to the result of two years of labor in behalf of the city on the part of the council and himself. The enemies he has made during his term of office have been made in the line of duty as he understood it. No one ever rigbtiully accused him of bringing his personal grievances into his dealings as a public servant. Messrs. Fuss and Prinderville also be- long to the present council and have made economical and consistent off, cials. Meesrs. Read, Tarbell, Sea- mans, Bartholomew and Hare are rep resentaiiye citizens. and as politics will not enter into the election to any dangerous extent, the men better fit ted for the duties to be performed will be elected if intelligence governs the choice.
