A Phenix lady yesterday received letter from a friend living Tn Chi cago relating the following heart rending affair: In the neighbor- hood where the Chicago lady resides lived a poor woman and six children. Not being seen for several days, the neighbors becoming alarmed enter ed the impoverished home, and there in deaths embrace lay the mother and her six children, all frozen to death. The room disclosed the fact that the poor mother had cut her bed, chairs and all her scan- ty furniture into wood and burned it, and then herself and little chil- dren lay down on a dilapidated mattress and froze to death. There, in the midst of great city of up- wards of one million of people, this dear old mother, who had toiled that her children might grow up useful men and women, surrendered up her life in the midst of plenty.

An Arizona paper that copies the libelous hog wash concerning this Territory from the Arizona Kick CT" department of the Detroit Free Press, must be hard up for copy. It is fact, however that an occasion al paper is found which endorses this stuff by republishing it. It is devoid alike of both sense and humor and it is certainly not cal culatcd to give good impression of our Territory.-Prescott Journal Miner.

There Must be a Comparison.

If for no other reason, 1t would
 appear but natural that present higl
 prices, and continuing upward ten dency of hog products must certain
 ly make marked difference in the price of other meats, such as beef and mutton. Receipts of hogs al our great market centers continue light and quality poor, with large percentage of unmatured pigs andia considerable sprinkling of breeding sows. One writerin referring to the shipment of hogs says everything old and strong enough to squeal is being sent forward, and the pros poets are that the farmers of the middle or Mississippi valley states will make so thorough a sweep that the breeding stock remaining will be inadequate for raising of a full hog crop later on.
 4 report from the Cudahy Pack ing Company of Omaha, prominent in the handling of hog products says stock provisions will proba- bly, show a decrease for the month of January being the first time in the history of the business that this has occurred, and says again that it is safe to say that the packing for the winter season in the west will close with three million hogs behind last year, which would indicate a decrease in the manufacture equal to about five hundred million pounds of hog meats.
 With a very good home trade for this line of meats the export ship ments have been quite liberal the European demand keeps up wellin the face of the steady advance, and England continues an anxious buy CT.
 is hard to estimate at this time when and where the present upward movement in prices will stop, but it is safe to say that prices are already at or beyond that point where 1t Is economy to use hams, shoulders and sides in lieu of beef and inn mediately when this point is reach ed it must have a decided effect in the price of the latter.
 The people of the southwest are unfortunately, not in the hog busi- ness to any extent, and consequent lY cannot realize on the high prices, but that this turn must of necessity advance the value of their cattle possessions looks entirely within reason. A depression cannot al- ways exist and we believe that bet ter day, long promised, and anxious ly waited for is close at hand. If not, there is nothing in the signs of the times.-Willcox Stockman.

Mexican POlque.

"Doyou know" asked A. Plucry at the Great Northern yesterday, whether the century plant at the Worlds Fair grounds is from Mex leo? I hope it is, for it is what is called the maguey plant from Mex ico it is the real century plant. The plant is the greatest gift nature has bestowed on the Mexicans. Ittakes the maguey about seven years to blossom. When 1t does bloom a stalk from ten to twenty feet tall shoots from the center of the clus- ter of leaves and puts forth large flowers, which vary from a bright red color to deep purple. Just as it is about to flower the plant has reached the proper stage for the use 1t is most frequently put to-the making of pulque. To get the pull que the leaves and stock are cut off a little above the ground and the trunk formed by the joining of the roots, which is often a foot in di- ameter, is hollowed out. In this bowl, the sap which was intended to nourish the flower accumulates and is drawn out every day. After it is taken out it must stand twen- ty-four hours to ferment. All efforts for preserving pulque so it could be have failed. Pulque is shipped in barrels made of pig skin and forty carloads of it are taken to the City of Mexico every morn ing. Pulque is sold in all the bar rooms and in it's distilled form is very fiery. Pulque has very gentle properties, and it is claimed will cure ,Bright's disease. It is the color of skim milk, and strings" like molasses.
 The last use this cactus is put to in climate like Mexico's, where ice meyer forms of itself, except on the mountains, is most remark able. The leaves of the maguey have great power of absorption Two large ones are selected, bound together so as to be almost air-tigbt then they are put out in the fields after sun-down. Evaporation is so rapid that the water in them freezes readily. y."-Inter- Ocean.

America tho Chief Source of Supply of
Grain for Germany.
WASHINGTON, D. g., Feb. 26.-The
United States is the chief source OF
supply from which Germany draws the
deficit in her domestic breadstufTs.
Such Ia the information contained in n
report to the state department by Frank
II. Mason, consul at Frankfort, Of the
statistics OF grain importation into Ger
many for the year 1892. They show an
enormously increased volume OF both
wheat and rye imported from the
United States
From fourth place in 1890, the United
States rose to first place in 1892. The
amount Of wheat purchased from tho
United States rising from 1902, ,772
bushels in 1890, to 23,o65,7B bushels
last year.
The importations from the United
States in 1892 were nearly half of tho
whole amount imported-i6,509, ,7l0
bushels. Tho importationB OF ryo from
the United States increased from 7G5,-
1888 bushels in 1890 to 4,965,335 bushels
in 1899. Russia's contribution Of that

JERSEY Cry, N, j., Feb, 26.-The reg
ular services OF the Congregational Tab
ernacle, OF which the Rev, John l. scud-
der is pastor, were omitted this evening
and an anti.race track indignation meet
ing was held instead. Pastor Scudder
denounced the legislature for passing
the bills and also denounced Governor
Worts for vetoing the bills before their
opponents had an opportunity to work
up public sentiment against them.
Ex-Mayor Gilbert Collins said he
could not endorse Mr.. scuddor's re-
marks about Gov. Werts. He believed
the governor had acted in good faith.
It was his habit in all matters OF i'm
portance to act promptly when once he
had made up his mind. Public senti-
ment was against these bills. 1t de-
mandod that they should be vetoed and
he had vetoed hem.
In bringing the meeting to close
Mr.. Scudder said he had been informed
that an indignation meeting would soon
be held in Trenton, and he asked all
who wore willing to go to the meeting
to stand up. Twelve persons arose.
The platform was decorated with strips
OF muslin on which were printed the
names of the legislators who voted for
the bills.
The congregation OF tho Hedding
Methodist church and the Summit
avenue Baptist church also adopted
resolutions denounolng tho race track
bills and the persons who voted for
them.

WASHINGTON, D, c., Feb. 26.-Mr. Paul
Nouman, the envoy OF Queen Liliuoka'
lani to Washington, to-day expressed
his confident conviction that the treaty
Of annexation made with the commits
sloners Of tho provisional government
of Hawaii was practically defeated. lie
said that the senate would bo asked
this week to appoint a commission to
visit the islands and investigate the
condition OF affairs there, Ii this were
done, he said, the senate and the coun'
try would learn tho conditions under
which the people OF Hawaii would
almost unanimously support a move
ment for the annexation OF the islands
II it were then determined that that
was the best thing for both countries,
The political treaty, Mr., Neuman
said, gave the people of Hawaii prac-
ticaily nothing and the otier OF the Is
land came from u body OF men who had
nothing to give. He asserted that the
queen had not been deposed but had
simply retired to her private residence
in order to avoid o conflict with the
United States troops. He asserted that
Minister Stevens had been compelled to
raise the United States flag over the
government buildings in Honolulu to
protect the provisional government
from its own partisans. Having estab'
lshed the protectorate, however, Mr.:
Neuman said Minister Stevens should
have been amply supported by this gov
ernment. Personally he hopes the pro-
tcclorate would bo maintained until
tho future course OF the islands was set
tied.
Mr.. Neuman criticised tho action OF
Mr. Davies in starting to the United
States with the Princess Kaiulani, and
also his reported proposition to Minis.
ter Lincoln in London to accept n United
States protectorate over the island with
tho princess on the throne with regen'
Cy for three years.
"Why for three years% ho asked.
"The princess will be OF age next
year and if she is ever qualified to
reign it will be then"
Mr.. Davies acted, l believe, without
authority. The friends OF the princess
in Honolulu opposed the project Of
bringing her to this country, but she
seems to have been started oil before
letters from the islands could reach her.
do not believe the officials OF the Uni
ted States will be inclined to receive
with kindly snirit the intermmed-
ding OF this Liverpool merchant"
