oughly unlike all the rest, belonging as
they do to the Monaghan race, that they
live a life apart. Their manners, GUS
toms and ways of living are not at all
like anything either American or Eu-
ropean women are accustomed to. Then
there are the American women who have
married foreigners. While each Of
them has spent most of her time abroad,
yet there is still q something that di-
vides them from the others, and they an
nounce the fact that they are Americans
with certain degree of pride that seems
wholesome and quite as it should be.
The few remaining ladies of the lega-
ton who are natives either of Europe or
South America are in way different
from all the others. The one who holds
first rank among them since the going
away of Baroness Fava is Lady Paunce-
fote, wife of the British minister. She
is charming type of the English ma
tron. Although her daughters are all
grown to womanhood, she has lost none
of the freshness of her youth. There is
not thread of gray in her brown hair,
nor scarcely wrinkle in her comedy
face, and her figure, like that Of most
English women, is wonderfully well
preserved. Whether it is her residence
in America, or whether it is her natural
manner, she certainly lacks much of the
reserve common to English women.

Examination Free to All.

Although the doctor is in many cases
compelled 20 use expensive instruments
and chemicals in making analyses. micro
scopic and other scientific examinations,
yet he makes no charges to anyone, beheV~
ing It to be part of the physicians duty
to ascertain the patients true condition
without expense to the sufferer When
ever and wherever DR.. Humphrey decides
to locate monthly visit crowds flock to
see him, and no wonder, for by the first ex-
animation, and often without asking a
question, he tells the invalid what the
trouble Is, and the prospect Of cure, and
most wonderful of all he values his FIRST
impression and first look at patient more
than all else, and DR.. Humphrey is never
mistaken In his diagnosis in any case.
The doctors methods differ markedly
from the general practitioner IN all re-
spccts. Following the plan OF ST. Georges
Hospital OF London, he registers every
particular as 60 the PATIENTS physical con-
dition and mental state. The condition OF
each organ, location of any and ell dis
eased parts. and whether sympathetic or
organic, together with the amount and
nature of the disease. In this way the en-
tire amount OF vital energies are readily
computed and the restoring power of the
body measured against the force and en-
Crgy and destructive capabilities Of tho dis
ease. Thus knowing the actual condition
OF the tissues and the effect OF specific
medicines upon every structure of the
body, unlike most doctors, he Is enabled to
cay positively whether any given case is
durable or not and can also give the APP
proximate time ami expense of treatment,
and would here point out the utter de-
fusion cherished by many patients that
they ought TO get well in few days or
weeks, Notwithstanding tho fact that they
have suffered for years.

WHEELS OF JUSTICE CLOGGED.
County Vault Tempered With-Re
cords Unobtaina ble-No Court.

Court failed to try any cases today.
The lawyers and half dozen criminals
were on hand and the gentlemen of thu
jury were obtainable, but one thing was
lacking the court had no records. The
indictments were not forthcoming,
nor were other necessary documents and
books locked in the county's vault
last night.
Deputy Clerk Bowman this morning
started to turn his combination lock,
so many times to the right and
so many to the left, but found it would
not turn. Inspection showed dents on
it. The combination had been tempered
with and a hammer had been used.
The lock could not be turned and the
wheels Of justice were clogged.
Word was at once sent to j. M.
Berger, the agent at San Xavier, a safe
expert, who worked in the Hall factory
for years. On his arrival the vault will
probably be put to rights. Mr. Berger
has put the safes of the banks of this
city in order on several occasions.
The motive for tampering with the
safe might have been robbery, though
little of value is kept there beside the
records. Or 1t may possibly have been
for the purpose accomplished, though
nothing is immediately to be tried but
small criminal cases.

He made a series of short addresses
between his cups, in the course of which
the word Tucson" was caught three
times. After the talk came the tea ard

An Early Religious Rite.

The Friday fasting of the early
Christian church was simply modifi-
cation of the Jewish weekly fasts. the
custom of observing which grew up
probably in the most post-exile period
of Jewish history. These fasts, said
to be in commemoration of Moses as
cent to Sinai and his descent there
from, were not obligatory on the Jews,
but were observed pretty generally.
The early Christians did not cease to
be Jews because they followed Christ,
so they maintained their old customs
and HASTINGS. So, too, the Catholic
church obtained the fast day; and in
keeping with its custom of retaining
the heather or non-Christian ceremo-
mics under Christian conditions, the
church soon proposed the Friday fast
in memory of Christ's death. The Gus
tom of Friday fast was maintained by
the early Christians without any es-
pecial idea on their part, so that it is
probably impossible to say when it
ceased to be relic of Judaism and
became mark or duty of Christianity.

ACTOR CURTIS.
The Jurors in the Trial Said to Have
Been Bribed.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 18.-The Exami-
ner publishes a statement of charges
that have come to light of bribery OF
four jurors in the recent trial of M. B.
Curtis, the actor, for the murder of
Police Officer Alexander NJ. Grant of
this city. The statement is based
principally on the declaration of j. N
E. Wilson, Curtis attorney, and the
men who are accused of trying to de
mand money from Curtis on the ground
that they paid jurors to vote for his
acquittal, are Frank McManus, COM
monty known as liking" McManus, a
local politician, and State Senator
William j. Gum.
According to Wilson's statement
these men have since Curtis acquit-
tai made several efforts to induce Cur
It's and Mrs. Curtis to pay them $500,
saying that by agreement with Curtis
by which they were to receive $4,000,
they paid four jurors $500 to vote for
his acquittal.
Thomas McFarlane and O. S. Coy
are mentioned as two of the jurors
bribed. Wilson denies there was any
attempt to bribe jurors as far as he
knows. and Curtis, McManus and
Gum also deny it. But Curtis is now
living on his ranch near Fresno and is
guarded by a deputy sheriff, as the
actor has made a demand upon the
sheriff of Fresno for protection stating
his life had been threatened by McMa-
nus and others, though he did not say
the trouble was on account of Jury
bribing transaction. Attorney Wilson
relates an interview he had with
McManus and Gum in which he says
they tried to get money from Curtis to
brlbe jurors.

Harqua HaIa Mines.

The manager of the Harqua Hala
mine reports for August to the English
directors: The mine throughout looks
well, and promises to fully bear out the
expectations predicted as valuable
dividend producer. The mill started
work at 6 o'clock on the evening of the

morning of the 18th we ran all the
stamps till the morning of the 3Ist,

subservience of the constitution.

republican government" said he,
shat the majority shall rule. Now
for majority of the senate to concede
for any reason that rule of practice
in the debate or of senatorial courtesy
making 1t possible for minority to
prevent legislation by indefinitely pro-
tracing debate, is equivalent to revo-
luton. 1t is as much revolution as

The attorneys on both sides of the

THE PANTANO MURDER.
Ramirez Probably told the Facts, of
Its Being in Self Defense.

The Pantano murder, wherein Laurc
Ramirez killed fellow vaquero
who according to witnesses
were on the ground soon after the
affray, was not done as the girl witness
in the case told. She told of the man
having been killed while asleep, under a
tree. This story, say those at the place,
could not have been true, as the evil
dences were against it. No traces of any
struggle at the tree, or blood there were
seen. The knife wound, says DR..
Spencer, would have killed instantly.
The blood from the. deceased was all
about the door, confirming the first
evidence, that the man had been killed
while breaking into Ramirez house
There was no trial from the tree, aud
had Ramirez carried the body he would
have been much more bloody than he
was.
A threat was also made by the
deceased, saysa party who heard it,
that he would kill Ramirez and make
away with Ramirez wife.
The story of the defendant, that the
deceased smashed in his windows and
had broken in the door and was entering
when killed is probably the fact of the
matter. The direction of the wounds,
both from the knife and the bullet,
confirm this.
The girls story it is alleged was from
motives of spite

A HUNDRED TRAMPS.

at Great Rate-Not Allowed Here.
Tramps as never before went through
Tucson last night. Sixty of them came
in, as their predecessors, from the west
by fast freight. They were fed sixty
loaves of bread and were not allowed to
get of. The tramps for the most part
are not ugly in their actions, though a
few are inclined to be, and want to get
off, "to look for work." as they explain
to the police. They are not given this
privilege, however.
At FL Paso the Tucson plan is meet
ing approval. There the tramp problem
is momentous.
By special tests made in Ell Paso aid
San Antonio it has been pretty well as
certained that of the hordes of tramps
but three to four per cent are laboring
men actually desiring to obtain work,
Sc to 81 per cent being professional
tramps banded together to tour the
country by rail and feed on the public. In
| Ell Paso but two out of sixty-three would
accept situations when offered, and when
a section boss at San Antonio applied
to a gang of sixtytramps to get SIX
section hands he could get butthree.
In consequence of the heavy arrivals
of the past two days, and the reports of
| thousands more to come, action by the
city authorities is being taken to dis
pose of them. Ell Paso will make a
special ordinance for the benefit Of the
| fraternity.
In the past two weeks in Tucson, says
| Policeman Estrella, 300 tramps have
passed through east bound.
at midnight Monday night a
gang of twenty arrived on freight.
They got some bread from the city
authorities and hied them eastwardsa
hour later. Sunday afternoon an
other instalment went through. One
of them complained of his lot. He
knew the city had been gone over
ahead of him, and that he could not
ask a man who had not been ''struck
before. With nothing to eat in forty.

Acebedo, Frank Oury's Supposed
Slayer, Likely to Stay in Mexico.
The sheriff's force, while approaching
the kindness intended in the arrest of
the man Acebedo, charged with being
implicated in the murder of the late
Frank Curry, regret that he was net let
alone.
They say that in that event they could
have gotten Acebedo in Arizona far
quicker than they now will. Their plan
would have been to send a man after
him, to fall in With him, carouse and
become chummy with him, confess to
some crime or other for which he was
fleeing from the land of the gringo.
Then when the time had come he would
suggest that the two rob some rich
arastra which he would locate in
Arizona. saying it would be a nights
work and they could be back in the
land of the manana by morning. Once
in the trap his capture and trip to the
Tucson Jail would be short work.
As it is, however, it is more than
likely he will not be brought to Arizona
at all. If he is it will be long process.
In 1888, at the time Judge Rouse was
United States attorney for Arizona he
applied to Washington for papers to
release from Sonora Manuel Verdugo,
a Mexican citizen, whose doings since
have made work more than once for
the Pima county sheriff. The reply was
to the effect that the United States
government had uniformly refused to
surrender American citizens to the au-
thorities of Mexico, and that in the case
at hand it was out of the question to
suppose that Mexico would not do like
wise.
Nothing has occurred since to change
the attitude of the countries relative to
