Superstitions Fishermen.

The snackmen who supply New
York with it's Fridays fish are al.
most as superstitious as the African
negro. The carrying of q big black
bag and OF black articles of wearing
apparel is, they consider, q sure sign
uf i'll luck and not iufrequently they
will refuse to ship man so equipped.
Men who have been on three or four
trips in succession when expenses
have not been paid are regarded as
"Jonahs" and find difficulty in re-
shipping.
The presence of a Jonah" on a
smack is sometimes thought to be
shown by an unusually email catch
of fish and various are the expedien is
employed to discover the individual.
The cook will, perhaps, put bit OF
charcoal in the bread, aud the one
who is unfortunate enough to get il In
his slice is looked upon as the cause
of theiIl luck. Fumigation is the only
means by which the Ouium and it's
consequences. The bedding of the
offending smackman Is taken on
deck and, after being arranged so
that 1t can be safely ignited, is burn-
ed, while the smack man fumigates
himself with the smoke When q

alone can make 1t prosperous again.

How Russia Recruits Her spies,

London Telegraph.
Females play an important lie not
predominant part in the army OF Rus
sian spies, all of them belonging to
the eO-called educated classes. The
way in which they are recruited is
very simple and Ingenious; the
method was described to me once by
one of the pillars of the Secret section,
and was confirmed later on by lady
spy with W hom had conversation
Ca the subject.
An official dies NINETY mine out of
a hundred educated Russians are OIL
ficials) before he has served long
q nugh to entitle him to a pension.
His young wife petitions the ministry
for ali allo vance, and she receives Il
sum varying from 100 TO 500 rubles.
Alter the lapse of some months she
petitions again and is told to call at
the police office, where about ones
fifth of the former sum is given to her,
and she is encouraged TO hope that in
two months time something may be
done for her again.
When she next returns, she is In
formed that, as her husband did not
earn q pension, she cannot expect to
receive auy further assistance; that
the authorities, in fact, possess no
funds for the purpose, but that they
are willing to give her little light
emp ioyment which will entitle her to
q monthly allowance, sufficient to
save her from social shipwreck. She
generally catches at the straw and
seldom has leisure or calmness

q straw. but q golden chain that
drags her down to unfsthomab BILE
depths. She is then introduced into
various families, visits the semi-pu o.
lie balls aud places of amusement,
and forwards regular reports to the
Third section, and visits the depart
ment periodically to answer Questions
and take fresh orders.

Band Concert this Week.

Band concerts at the city park are
again to be feature of musical Tucson.
This time the music will have patrl-
cite tone, and the throng, instead OF
slowly meandering around the walks
in hap-hazard uncertain manner, will
fall in sharply and promptly, by twos of
course, and with hay-foot, straw-foot,
keep correct time to Star Spangled
Banner, Marching Through Georgia,
Tramp, Tramp, the Boys-etc.
The new militia band will make its
appearance Saturday night Respondent
in blue cloth and brass buttons. They
have done faithful practice since or
ganization, and now play very we'll for
the time they have bsep together.
Col. Martin gave orders that the
band was first to play the national airs,
music for which he furnished after which
they might learn the Mexican national
hymn. They are now engaged on the
Mexican air, in preparation for the 10th
of September.
Additional membership and new in
struments will follow later.
Next year Col. Martin will insist that
band concerts be held every week. So
Tucson will be sure to have music
wherever she goes.

Caught in the Tolls

OF thai lurking foe, chills and fever, we
often struggle vainly to free ourselves
from its clutch. Pallatives there are
without number, but if you want a real
remedy, as of course you do if afflicted
with this abominsbe malsdy, hasten 10
to procure and GERS silently use Hostel
ter's Stomach Bltters. If you follow
this suggestion, permanent restoration
to health will reward you. Every form
of malarial disease is permanently
eradicated by the Bitters, which is like
wise a reliable safeguard against mala-
dies OF this type. Not alone on this
Continent, but throughout The tropics. it
Is justly ega!ded as complete antidote
to miasma poison in air or water. No
less effective is ii for disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels, rheumatism,
kidney complaints and nervousness. No
one scjourning IN malarious region or
who is subjected to outdoor exposure
in rough weather, or to excessive mental
or physical strain, should be without
this fine defensive tonic.

Games of Cards.

Games of cards have been the rage,
have declined in popular favor, have
faded into virtual extinction, and have
been suddenly revived over and over
again Lansquenet, piquet, vingt-et-
un, ecarte, triumph, prime, flux, matri-
mony, basset, boston, spadille, MANTLE
and basto, together with ombre, which
was only an ancient form of whist,
with many more games than even the
voluminous Hoyle dreamt of, succeeded
one another in society, and by turns
enjoyed their epoch of patronage; but
the cards themselves have scarcely
changed pictorially for more than two
hundred years

Soldiers of the Sultan

Gen. Lew Wallace says that the
Turkish cavalry is admitted to be the
finest in all Europe. The soldiers of
the sultan's Circassian body-guard,
whom Bull Run Russell called 1.-The
most picturesque scoundrels in the
world" are, Gen. Wallace says, blood
thirsty and treacherous, recklessly
brave and exceedingly beautiful. Even
among the meanest of them you see
noble, well-set heads of finest mold :"
The sultan himself is man of kingly
bearing, but with thin face and
colorless eyes, keen as a falcons
When he appears in public on cere-
monious occasions he rides a milk
white Arabian horse, which ne man
ages very skillfully, and his manner is
most gracious as he bows right and
left to the people. This commander
of the Faithful, according to popular
Turkish belief, has never signed a
death warrant, and doubtless the
reputation is deserved, for such mat
tiers may easily be attended to vicari-

A POPULAR CHARITY.
Bricks of Glass.

In Switzerland there is now being
manufactured a glass brick or brown
building block, formed or nodded flask
shape with short neck at each end,
eight inches in length, six inches in
width and two and one-half inches in
depth, with an air chamber through
the center. The edges of the brick are
covered, recessed or ribbed and
grooved to receive when laid suitable
cement of plastic material of such
character that after it has hardened it
will constitute suitable frame or
setting to keep the entire mass, roof
or wall, solidly together. The form or
molds-there being two different
shapes-are pleasing to the eye, the
lines or ridges being clean and smooth
and of sufficient thickness or strength
to stand a pressure of one hundred and
fifty to two hundred pounds to the
square foot.
Arizona weekly citizen., 1893-09-16

they performed their work with greater
expedition, so that during the last hour
of business, from until 6 o'clock, over
200 were issued. The record for the
day was $50.
By a simple arithmetical calculation
it can be readily seen that at the pres
ent rate all those seeking to register
here will not have the opportunity. The
officer in charge states that he has au-
thority to increase his force, and if more
rapid work is not done tomorrow, and
homeseekers continue to arrive in such
great numbers as they did today, he
will establish another registration booth
here. The prospect that all will not be
able to secure certificates by Saturday
noon is causing many boomers to go to
other booths along the line. Great suf-
fering Is experienced by the immense
crowd lined up waiting for certlficates,
as water is very scarce. Many OF the
men have already been on the line
thlrty-slx hours and a dozen or more
tainted today from exhaustion.
IN Line FOR THE RUSH.
The booths, three. in number, with
nine clerks, were opened this morning
on the line of the strip, at sixteen min
utes before seven o'clock. The first
man registered was John B. Cameron,
Kansas City. Mo. The first lady regis
tered was Miss Kate Durand, of this
city, at TOP, her number being 4O2. 1t
is estimated that in the three lines there
are between 5000 and 1000 people, who.
with hands on their nelghbor's should
ers, make lock step according to peni-
Tertiary discipline.

a Vain and Foolish Preacher.

LONDON, Sept. 13-The sensation of
the day is an attack made upon Glad
stone by Rev. Frederick Davis. Glad
stone attended services yesterday at
the Episcopal church at Blairgowie,
and the sacred editice in honor Of the
premier was packed with people anx-
ious TO see the great liberal leader.
On previous Sundays it would seem
that the church mentioned has not
been crowed with worshippes. Rev.
Mr.. Davis, who was to preach the SER
mon, publicly insulted Mr.. Gladstone
by refufing to shake hands with the
venerable statesman before the ser
vice. Ia addition, during the sermon
the Clergyman vehemently condemned
the people present for as he claimed,
coming to church for an unworthy mo-
tive, to worship creature rather than
the creator. The remarks OF the rev.
erend gentleman caused much indig-
nation among a majority of those pres
ent.

of the Union Pacific was found dead this
morning in his stateroom on the steamer
Pilgrim on her arrival from Boston. He
left Boston last evening to attend a

cause of death entirely different from

He is reputed to be worth S2o,OOO,OO0
He held immense interests in railroad

THEN AND NOW.

When the glorious G. o. p.
huled this land of liberty,
Everything around ps then was bright and fair.
Now the democratic crew
Stopped The mills-there's naught TO do
But TO tramp around and try to live on air.
Chorus:
Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are tramping,
Hundreds OF thousands on the road;
You can hear their weary tread
AS they hunt for work ana bread.
In these good times" by democracy bestowed :,
Peace and plenty did abound.
Work enough and money sound.
With no cruel hand to lay protection low;
Now is heard the poor mans wall.
Which his voting did entail.
Reaping now what then in error he did SOW.
Chorus.
But the tramping. idle throng
Won endure such actions long,
For they zee they have been robbed and cheated,
too;
But with ballots turn them out
And with rush and mighty shout
Place again In power the gallant "toys in blue. Z"
Chorus.
Better times will come again
For our poor deluded men.
When the q. D. 2. will take the helm of state;
When the sturdy sons of toll
From democracy reco1.
And with vote and vote and voice Will seal its
well-a arned fate.
