THREE ON A BENCH.
The Boy Had n Future. the Crook a PastI
 the vagrant Had Nothing.


 It was 8 o'clock in the morning Tho electric lights were still blazing in the silence of Madison square. A number of shabby figures slumbered or moved about on the seats beneath the trees of the park. On q bench beside the little fountain sat a group that arrested my attention. Three figures were reclining here with their heads and shoulders al- most touching one another. One was but little more than n boy. A bundle done up in calico handkerchief was in his hand. His sunburned face aRd his sturdy shoulders gave evidence that he wcs from the cOuntry-probably farm hand who had trudged in to try his luck in the city. His boots were covered with red clay. He was leaning against n thin figure clad in somewhat shabby gar mentS.
 This man possessed a dark and sinister countenance. He was restless, and his hands, which were thin and white. twitched nervously in his sleep. His lips moved spasmodically. His was an evil conscience. There was plainly shady side to his past life. Here were deceit and honesty side by side. Next to the dark man slumbered very old and decrepit one. He was clad in linen duster. A battered gray hat sat on his head, and his toes were peeping out from the tips of his worn shoes. The face of this old fellow was scanned with deep and careworn wrin- kles. His hair and beard were snowy white. He was possessed of n palsy that made him tremble constantly as he lay dozing. It was youth, manhood and old age-typical of life.
 These three reclined here in a stolen sleep. A park policeman came gliding along from the distance through the twi- light of the trees. He crept along like a weary souls who were transgreSsing the law by surrcptitious slumber. His eye lighted with satisfaction as he beheld the three figures on the bench. You see that seedy fellow in the middle:" he whispered. That's Tony McElroy, who cracked three safes over in Jersey City last summer. 1 spotted him at once by his mug. He just come out of the pen last Tuesday"
 The officer seized the crook by the col lar and shook him till his teeth rattled. The noise awakened the boy, who grasped the situation at once. SelZlng hls bun dle he skurried like a rabbit across the grass toward Twenty-third street. Once feeling himself safe he stretched his limbs and began to whistle cheerfully. The crook arose and stood in sullen silence few moments until the police man pushed him on. He thrust his hands into his pockets, bumped up his shol- dcrs and shambled up the avenue. The old vagrant tottered to his feet. He was dazed, and it took him quite awhile to collect his senses. He shuffied across the square with bowed head. He scanned the buildings and the streets about him with hopeless, helpless glance that was pathetic to see. Then he, too, vanished in the gray of breaking dawn.
 The boy had a life of hope before him, the crook had past behind him, but the old vagrant had neither past nor future. New York Recorder.

AForcibIe Way of Putting It.

A nautical term comes with kind of a shock in art criticism, but there was a certain pertinency in the remark of the good mayor of Gloucester, Mass, who said, speaking of the picture of prede- cessor in his office, that it was a pretty good likeness, but with q man of his style of features profile view would never be as effective as though it were taken little more "head on."-New York Times.

 Drifting Match.

SANDY Hook, Oct 5.-The official start ing time of the yacht race to-day was as follows: Valkyrie II :45; Vigilant HAS 3-4. At the start the Vigilant gained A decided advantage, the Valkyrie losing the benefit of about all her time allowance. Shortly after the start both yachts shifted their booms to port and spinnacles to staThoard.
 The progress down the bay was tediously slow. The sails Tapped lazily in the wind and the yachts were barely able to butt the tide. The Vigilant easily kept the lead and seemed to increase the distance from the Valkyrie. At l 40 he Nigilant was about quarter of q mile ahead.
 At 2:50 the Vigilant seemed to have q lead of about five boat lengths. It will be no race unless the boats make five knots ar hour.

Work for Everyone

How can we find employment for the people who are compelled to live on short al- lowance? By extending water pipes on the new streets, that you contemplate laying water pipes when you get the new water supply. or replacing the old cement pipes with iron. that you will be compelled to do next summer. This can be done without laying special tax, because the city has power to borrow half million dollars to furnish the people with water.
 KELLY says to the Common Council. "You can put every idle man in Waterbury working tomorrow. because you have the money and the work to do, and you will bring comfort to many firesides that have been wrecked by the present hard times"

GOVERNOR HUGHES.

Private kilograms received yesterday
confirm the report that l.. G. Hughes,
Of Tucson, will be the next governor Of
Arizona, and probably already his name
has been sent to the senate.
Gov. Hughes is a man whose long
residence in the territory and service to
his party made him formidable candi-
date against other good men who also
ssplred to the governorship, and TIKI
REPUBLICAN, lays aside politics and par
tisan prejudice long enough to con-
graduate the new governor Of all III.
people and bid him welcome back to The
territoryoi which he is to be the chief
executive.
The nigh moral character of Gov.
Hughes and his well known aggressive
spirit fit him in peculiar manner for
the duties that will devolve upon him
as the chief magistrate of new and
growing country. His long residence
affords him knowledge Of the neces-
stiles and requirements of the people,
and his observation and training as a
newspaper man qualify HIM to put this
knowledge to practical use.
Again The REPUBLICAN welcomes
Gov Hughes and assures him OF its
cordial cooperation in all that tends to
build and develop the wonderful re-
sources OF Arizona and bring her into
the union, not as an infant, but as a
state rich in all that goes TO constitute
great commonwealth.
