Rev. sma.e.s Recitation.

The announcement that Rev. Smale would last evening recite
 Rev. Spurgeon's lecture on Candles
 attracted large audience to the
 Baptist church, the edifce being
 well filled. Mir. Smale had several
 scores of candles. and candlesticks of every color and description from
 the aristocratic, brass and silver, to a plain board, with three nails in 1t, with which to illustrate the lecture. Walter Reese assisted
 him in many of the illustrations,
 The lecturer kept his audience quite interested for about two hours. Many of the illustrations
 were quite amusing, and none were
 without a good point. In listening to the lecture and In witnessing the illustrations one could not but be impressed with the fact that none but a Sturgeon could evolve such an interesting and instructive dis course from such a simple and ap- parently uninteresting subject as Candles"
 Before dismissing his audience, Rev. Smale threw sort of wet blanket over the Episcopahan. Methodist and South Methodist church people present, by announc- ing that his congregation had re- ceived an invitation to worship with the Congregationalists during his absence. This mere annouce- ment. although it would have been more appropriate to have been made to his congregation on Sun day morning. would not have seem ed SO much out of place, but it was supplemented by the advice of the pastor to boycott he did not use that word, but his words meant the same thing all the other churches, as the one from which the invitation was received was more nearly in harmo- ny with the Baptist in point of doc urine, besides, he added, "Rev. De marest will preach you very inter esting sermons, the only infer ence to be- drawn from this remark being that the reverends of the three other churches would not. As his audience was composed largely of members of the three churches against which he recom- mended the boycott, and the min ister of one of them being also pres ent, 1t seemed to many of them that had the speaker intended to offer them direct "cut" he could not have chosen more appropriate language to do so Mr. Smale, how ever, Is very young man yet, and IS very jealous in his work, and while his remarks were certainly out of place on the above occasion, we doubt not that he did not fully l realize the import of them.

How Chicago Is Spelled.

In sorting over the letters for Chi cago a man in the general Chicago office has kept an account of the number of different ways the word Chicago is spelled. Recently the rec ord showed 197 different ways. Some ripe scholar in Finland sent a letter to his brother and spelled the name of the Garden City. Zizzazo. Still another foreigner, possibly with a sinister motive, spelled the word Jag. jago. Hipaho, Jajijo, Scheechacho, Hizage and Chachicho are also prime favorStes. Postal Record.

Three cells of storage bat tery made of slate, so as to prevent the spilling of the solution, can be easily slowed away and supply cur rent to a lantern placed in the bow of the boat.

Democratic papers are endeavor- ing to show that their party is the friend of silver. They give the number of republicans that voted against silver in black faced figures. The vote shows very clearly that neither party, as party, espoused the cause of the white metal, but that the vote was divided. Had the democratic members voted solid ly in behalf of silver they could have carried the question.

GIVE UsA NEW JUDGE.

The United States senate could not confer a greater favor on AriZ- ona at the present time than by re- fusing to confirm the appointment of O. T. Rouse as associate Justice of the territory.
 Mir Rouse, is a genial pleasant gentleman; he is not a rabid or vio- lent partisan in his democracy, hence it is for neither personal or political reasons that the above assertion is made. It is in an honest endeavor to secure a pure, and competent Judiciary. O. T. Rouse is not qualified either from a knowledge of law or a 6rmness and decision of character to occupy the position to which he has been ap- pointed. He demonstrated this during the recent term of court which he held in Prescott.
 In one case he announced a de cision from the bench one day and on the day following of bis own motion reversed it. In another case he made an arbitrary ruling of the rankest kind, and while admit ting while of the bench that it was a mistake, he never rectified it. While Judges are liable to err, Judge Rouse's mistakes on the bench were of too frequent occur renee. Being of too small caliber mentally to fill the position of judge alone he presumed in some cases to be court attorney and jury all. In one case on trial before him, in which a small sum of money was involved, and in which .he de fense, even, admitted liability, the only point in dispute being as to the amount, the case was given to the jury who were deliberating on it and trying to get at an equitable adjustment of it when Judge Rouse of his own motion called the jury into court and arbitrarily instructed them to return a verdict for the de- fendant, when as stated the defend ant did not claim or ask for such verdict but admitted an indebted ness to plaintiff.
 Such high handed proceedings as this. as in many other cases tried before Judge Rouse naturally dis gusted attorneys and litigants as well as citizens generally.
 In the appointment of A. (. Baker
 chief Justice, the present admin istration could not have made a better selection, as he is admitted by all to be a lawyer of superior at tainments. Quick to perceive and grasp a law point he is fearless and impartial in his rulings and emin- ently qualified for the position.
 The appointment of J. J. Flaw kins as associate Justice gives great satisfaction also to the territory. While yet a young man Judge Hawkins is well versed in law, is a close student and is thoroughly honest, although perhaps strong CT partisan than Mir. Rouse. But even with his strong partisanshlp it is believed that he will make good judge and has certainly given good satisfaction thus far. Against these two appointments not a word has ever been heard, but the ap- pointment of MT. Rouse is by no means a satisfactory one, either here or where he lives, and it is sincerely hoped that in the interest of a competent judiciary for the territory his confirmation may be | defeated and a competent lawyer to the position.

VICIOUS.
THAT is WHAT ABE RED
SAYS OF ALBERT
SWALLEY.
But Albert says Abe wants
to Evade his Obligation
Under the Contract
of Apprentice
ship,
And that Seems About the
Size of 1t.

For nine years Abe Red has kept
an orphan boy named Albert Swal-
ley.
This boy in some way has been
a thorn in Abe's body, mind and
soul, just how, nobody seems to
understand. The boy is 10 years
old, of slender and light frame, ,and
Intelligent and does not seem to be
bad. Fv
Abe says he is no good and has
complained times without number
to magistrates, and courts that the
boy is incorrigiblp, and has made
numerous threats and assaults on
him with pen knives, butcher
knives, stovewood, iron pokers,
club, &c. The boy denies these
things and says that Red is hot
headed, peppery, dyspeptic, nerv-
Gus and irritable and jaws and
growls without cause, and threat
ems, and on several occasions he
has made threats in retaliation
that if Red would do or attempt to
do what he said, he would do GER
certain things.
Two or three months ago Red
had the boy arrested for assault.
When the matter come before the
Justice, they dropped it, the boy
agreeing to stay away from the
place. When the boy went for his
clothes they made up again, large
ly through the instrumen tality of
Mrs. Red, who seems to have Il
motherly interest in the hoy, and
every thing was lovely again till
Jan. 80, when Red came to town
and swore out warrant for the
boy charging him with threats to
make an assault with IL buther
knife on him that day.
Constable Win Green brought
tiiO IVY III again pClOlo clulie
Brehm. Red came in but failed
to prosecute the case, and the ac-
ton was dismissed.
Red and the boy had confer
ence, the result of which was that
the hoy will leave for good. The
boy says he will go to Allen county
where he expects to get work.
He says that he was put in the
Childrens' Home when that insti-
tuition was here ia Logan, that he
was taken to man named Kellar
in the edge of Perry county, where
he stayed year, and then went
to Reds. He also claims that Red
was to give him when p years old
horse, saddle and bride, and
either $25 in money or a suit of
clothes as he might choose, and
that Red now wants to get out of
it. Red says this is not true, and
says it pretty violently.
The boy declares he will investi-
gate the records of the old Child
rens' Home and see about it be-
fore he goes to Allen county.

The newest craze or fad with
the school children is map draw
ing with view of showing the
work at the Worlds Columbian
Exposition. The work is like any
other map drawing, except that the
scholars are required to locate gold,
silver, copper, grain, cotton and
other productions by pasting or
gluing sample on the appropriate
spot on the map. For instance a
pieSe Of coal is pasted on Pennsyl-
vnnia and other coal producing
states, a wad of cotton on Georgia,
Louisiana, &C., q grain of corn and
wheat on Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and Iowa, u bottle of whisky on
Kentucky, a grain of rice and u
lump of sugar on Louisiana, II So
gold piece on California, a silver

so on. The heather who assembla

thousands wrecked the most fright

fiendishness of Il depraved brute,
outraged and cruelty murdered lit

torture, and then burned the pitt
able wretch at the stake.
All day trains had brought peo-
pie by the hundreds to this city,
white and black alike, to await the
arrival of the guards who were
bringing the prisoner back from
TeXarkana where he had been
captured. The country from miles
around had become wildly excited
over the crime and the hunt for
the brute murderer. When the
news came that he had been
caught and identified by members
of the searching party, the people
