The Sleeping Room.

Sunlight is good for everything but
feathers.
The best number Of persons to each
bed is-one.
Away with heavy hangings either
above or below the bed.
Beware of a dusty, musty carpet !;
better sweetness and bare floor.
Do not fail to provide some means
for ventilation during the night.
Keep the head cool while sleeping,
but not by draught of cold air fall
ing upon it.
If a folding bed must be used, con-
trive some way to keep it aired and
wholesome.
Let the pillow be high enough to
bring the head in a natural position
no more or less.
Thoroughly air the sleeping room
every day; air the beds and bedding
as often as possible.
A dark, out-of-the-way, unwhole-
some corner is no more fitted for a
sleeping room than for parlor.
A feather bed which has done ser
vice for generation or two is hardly
a desirable thing upon which to sleep.
Good Housekeeping.

SILVER LEAGUE OF ARIZONA.

The first annual meeting was held in Phoenix May 18th. Permanont officers are; E. F. Kellner, president; Calr. John MeCasey, secretary. Messrs. A, Buck, R ". Wood, Thos. Cochran, Frank Cole and J. Hafberb committee on resolutions, recommended the adop- ton of the resolutions passed by the Pan-American Silver League, which was agreed to. Tho resolutions are at follows:
 ''Resolyed, That we are unqualified, l ly in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver upon the ratio of to l6, and pledge ourselves to do all in our power to bring about such free coinage of silver.
 "That we disapprove of the policy of of the treasury officials which refuses to reeoghize silver in payment and re- dsmption of treasury notes issued and the purchase of silver bullion.
 ''rhat the refusal of the Secretary of the Treasury to coin the 4,000,O ounces of silver authorized to be pur- chased RRd coined monthly, is contrary to the spirit of the law, and is an out rage upon the people of tho United States at large.
 ''That our bi-metallism consents iR recognizing silver and gold upon an equal basis at tho hints, and that such recognition is the only way that a parity can be maintained between gold and siyer bullion.
 That the people of Arizona in con vention assembled, do hereby reccm- mend that the next Congress which as semble pass free coinage silver bill, and that the chairman of this convon- tioH, be requested te appoint com mittee of two from each county to cir culate petitions for signatures praying Congress to pass such free coinage bill at its next session
 The following resolution was intro duced by Judge Buck and adopted;
 Resolved, That this convention heartily endorse the plan of General Warner, president of the bi-mOtallic league at Washington, and of Col. A. c. Fisk, president of the American Bi-metallic Association at Denver, in calling upon the governors of the Vest srn and Southwestern States to ap- point committee from each State to represent to the President the wish of the silver producing sections eoacsrn- ing the silver question and also to pre- sent the same before Congress.
 The convention adjourned with reso- lutions of thanks to the newspapers for the publication of the call and with request that the proceedings of that body be published.

It is taken as significant fact that the British representatives in the Beh- ring Sea arbitration should press tbe question of the right of the Tribunal of Arbitration to assess the damages for illegal seizure, in the event of the ques- ton of jurisdiction over Behring Sea being decided against the United States It suggests the belief that England con siders her case as good az won In reply to Lord Hannen's inquiry wheth CT the United States would not be com pellod to accord damages if the Fri buual so decided, American Counsel E. J, Phelps said that he would give no guarantee in behalf of the Government of the United States. The treaty stated that the arbitrators must carefully set tie the facts of the seizures. Tho fur ther questions of liability and the amount of damages must be settled by negotiations between the tive Govern ments The arbitrators had nc right to fix the liability personally. Said Senator Morgan: It would be impossi- ble even for the President of the United States to give guarantees regarding the result of future negotiations, As when such negotiations arc completed they must be confirmed by two-thirds vote of the Senate in their favor. Lord Hannsn exhibited much warmth and declared: Then the whole arbitration is useless The mistake made by the United States, of submitting the Beh- riRg. Sea question to board of arblira- ton composed wholly of representa- tivss of European nations, is now geA- enally recognized.

Boards of foreign missieAs are great ly exercised by the enactment of the Geary law excluding Chinese and de- porting those that are illegally in the United States They expross the fear of retaliation by the Chinese govern ment and, more particularly, the assas- sination of missionaries there by irro. sponsible mobs. They have appealed to President Cleveland to interpose for the safety of missionaries there. The Methodist Foreign Missionary Society has recommended to make decided appeal to the higher power to avert the approhended slaughter, and appointed Sunday, May 28th, as day of special prayer throughout the United States in
 all the churches Shat such solution of the pending question may be reached as shall save the missionary interests in China from disaster and secure just treatment to the Chinese in this coun-

CHINESE TO cLoe ruE corrrs.

'There Is no danger of the Chinese being deported at once, " said prom inent gentleman to a representative of the s. F. Chronicle, If the tactics sug- gested by Lyman L Mowry should be carried out"
 Mir. Mowry is reported to have said, there will be no deportation of Chi nese for long time at least. Every Chinese arrested under the law will be entitled to jury trial, and it will take four or five years to try them all; besides they will have the usual right of appeal.
 ''The result will be that the courts will be clogged, All other litigation will suffer, or the Chinese cases will have to be postponed from time to time Imagine what howl would go up from lihgants in the United States courts of this State if their time should be given up wholly to the adjudication of Chinese cases. Yet that is exactly what would result There would be no avoiding it. The Government could not make special rules for these cases and would be powerless to prevent the delay"
 Mir. Mowry intimated that when the Geary law got to this point it would be in the nature of a "soft snap, for the Chinese. Before deportation could be really begun thousands of Chinese would have earned and saved enough money to be ready to return to China to spend the rest of their days in luxu- rious living. Just as fast as they got ready to go they would walk into court, he suggested, plead guilty and be sent to China at the expense of Un- cle Sam.
 'It does seem," added the Chroni- cle's informant, 'as though Mir. Now ry's prophecies were about to be real ized. There appears to be no doubt that in his predictions he outlined the policy Chat the Chinese will adopt, and there seem to be reasons for fearing that an effort to enforce the law would result, just as he prophesied it would"

An unnecessary quantity of printer s ink is wasted in the McInsrnay case which is soon to be presented to the grand jury of Yuma county for inyesti- gation, and If a true bill" is found a trial jury will pass upon the guilt or innocence of the accused. It is not the province of newspapers to invade the temple of justice, as was the case of Maricopa journals in preiudicing the cases of John Rhodes and Ed.

The Presbyterian assembly, al its May session in Washington, D. C., through the president of the United Christian Commission, submitted a statement to the effect that the com- mission must discourage the enlistment of sons of christian families into the army, unless some safeguards, now lacking, are threwn round them. The architecture of barracks is not exactly suited to clerical taste, for the reason that christian soldiers are placed at fearful disadvantage, exposing them to the vices and indecsncies of the ire hgious of the rank and file. The christian commission has iR its minds eye and asks for the benefit of soldiers that religious teachers may be pro yided, but not word is suggested about pay and subsistence of teachers; it is, therefore, presumed they are ex- pected to live on wind pudding.

 The above confirms the charges made in the BElf of April 29th, that ''the library is in deplorable condition, :" The loaning of books is not in accord ance with law and the regulations governing the library.

 We are gratitled to learn that the present librarian is alive to the abuses that have prevailed in the Territorial Library and hope he will take immedi- ate steps to correct them.
