Thirty-Nine Charter Members Make
 Good Start.

Mesa Lodge No. fl, l. o. O. F., was instituted last night at Mesa city. This new lodge begins its existence un- der the most favorable auspices and being the first secret benefit lodge or ganized in that thrifty town will take exceptional pride in making first class showing to the other Odd Fellow lodges in Arizona. The lodge will meet regularly every Saturday night,
 N. A. Morford acted as instituting officer and he was assisted by members from Phoenix and Tempe. The char ter members numbered 3o and they are all active men who take delight in making their lodge work successful and attractive. The officers are:
 Vim, A. Kimball, N. G.; C. B. Lew IS, V. G.; L. c. Teney, Sec; F. Mil Ter, Treas.
 About midnight a banquet was spread with seventy-five covers. The display and quality of the viands dis cussed and dispersed would do credit to any city lodge in the land. The Mesa people know the art of entertain ing and they are generous in their hos pitality and courtesy. The visitors who cared to remain all night were hand S0melv corad for Hara1d

ODD FELLOWS GUESTS.
Dined, Danced, and Diverted Them
 selves Diversely.

The Odd Fellows yesterday proved themselves to be good fellows as we'll. Their picnic at Fort Lowell was thoroughly enjoyed by merry gather ing of young and old. All the afternoon free busses ran out to the old fort for the accommodation of all who held in- vitatioas. A constant stream of private teams conveyed others. By o'clock the grounds were the scene of festivlty and mirth making. The young ladies in their summer gowns tripping joy ously about added much to the moviny grace of the scene while not a few stately matrons in more sty ish costume promenaded the wIde old plazzas, and thronged the spacious halls Of the long abandoned quarters. There was some trap shooting by the boys, with swing irg and other passimes by the girls.
 At 6 o'clock a generous collation was provided by the managers of the affair of which ali who had not brought their own lunches parto0k. Or he latter many little parties found secluded places in the yards of tha old buildings, built their fires made their coffee and enjoyed their excluslveness.
 The evening was devoted to dancing. Mntijo's striDged orchestra furnished good mus c and plenty of it anu 10 late hour with waltz and quadrlle and polka and scho5tische delightful even- ing was spent.
 The Odd Fellows all exerted them selves and did their duty as hosts nobly. Especial praise is due MessTs. Judd and Reid by whom most of the details were managed.

FreshInen's Rhetoricals.

Y sterday the first section of the Freshman class appeared at the regular bi-weekly rhetorical exercise s. Their work shows an advance over previous performances.
 Raymond Sstterwhite spoke of the Needs of Our Army and Navy" The equipments of England, France, Ger many and Spain were briefly stated, and a comparison made of their respective power to damage thiscountry, If ocea- sion re equired. Our owR means of offence and defence by laod and water were re- viewed, with brief references to ne, ded additions to our military and naval resources.
 'The Annexation of Canada" was ad vocated by William Cooper, who showed how little improvement had been made under British dominion, and argued that Hawsii could not be half as needful to the United States, as the border country, which included a larger area than We now possess.
 Brewster Cameron, Jr., ably prese nted the main facts connected with the Louisiana Purchase" and showed whal advantages have accrued from it. Some parts of this essay were particularly good.
 "Woman's Suffrage" received almost a new aspect in it's treatment by Miss Clara Fish. Her essay would have done credit to a much older head, and none could doubt the seriousness of purpose underlying the tersely expressed senti- ments which she pronounced with ex- cellent effect.

The Quarantine Station

It seems to be pretty well settled that the California State Board of Health will not maintain a quaran- tine station near Yuma this season. A comittee of the board made a visit here in February and recOm- mended that a permanent station be established at Fl Rio. This met with so much local opposition that it was abandoned pr, Cotter, who was inspector last season, also op- posed Fl Rio as a site for the station. The California authorities then de- sired to establish the station fourteen miles east of Yuma on the Arizona side. Governor Murphy refused permission for such a move. The difficulty of obtaining water east or west of Yuma has also been a great drawback. At last accounts the California board had about decided to place an inspector at the railroad bridge, who would stop and inspect all west bound trains and if any suspicious cases were on board the trains would not be allowed to cross into California. This would be a most undesirable state of affairs for Yuma, and it is to be hoped no such contingency will arise. The rail road company IS especially anxious that no detention shall occur to trains and will do all in their power to assist the health authorities. We sincerely hope that the whole busi- ness will be turned over to the U. s. Marine Hospital service, which will obviate all danger of any conflict or friction between State authorities. The matter should not be trif1ed with or the health of a community as large as ours be en- dangered.- Times.

THE Treasury situation has been the central object of interest during the week. Attention was drawn sharply to it on Saturday by the announcement that Secretary Carlisle had directed the sub-treasuries throughout the country to issue no more gold certificates at present, under provision of the law of July F, 1882, requiring the Secretary to suspend the issue of gold certificates whenever the amount of gold coin and bullion in the Treasury reserved for the redemption of United States notes falls below the sum of s1OO,0Oe,000 This an- nouncement was followed by the report that orders had been issued to stop the redemption In gold of the Treasury notes of 1890. Later on thIs report was denied. The lack of precise informa- ton as to the exact position Of the Treasury and the disinclinatIon of the Secretary at first to discuss the existing eituat on or the probabilities of the future, left the matter in 8 condition of uncertainty which statement made by him on Thursday night has not entirely removed.-Bradstree

THE DENTAL BOARD.
The Governor is Ready to Make the
 Appointments.

Governor Hughes will, within few days, appoint the board of registration in dentistry under the provisions of the law passed by the Seventeenth LegiSla- tnre. This law affects every dentist in the Territory and those who may come hereafter. The requirments may not be fully understood by the profession. Briefly it requires the procuring of li- censes before practicing dentistry.
 These licenses may be obtained upon to the registration board. The applicant must within 90 days from April 2, 1893, send to the secreta- " of the board an affidavit setting forth his or her name, place of business and State wher and when graduated and the length of time engaged in the practice. The fee for a certificate to practice IS $. If any should fail to make such application they will be oblig- ed to submit to an examination which will cost them $25.
 The board will be composed of five dentists who have been engaged for ten years in the practice. No applica- tions for membership of this board have yet been made. It IS suggested that the dentists take some action in the matter of presenting names to Cover nor Hughes for these appointments Herald.

HON. GEO. W. CHENEY.

Geo. W. Cheyney, who represented Cochise county in the Council of the Legislature during the session just closed, is in the city from his mining camp at Gro Blanco in southern Pima.
 The CITIZEN man called his attention to several articles in the Phoenix Repub
 lcan in which that paper calls the Councilman from CochIse some hard names and pretends to have exposed his hypocrisy" "demagoguery" and ex- travagance in legislation by reason of d certain vote cast on the last day of the session. As that vote was given in open session, in the presence of an unusual number of visitors, and with all the newspaper men of Phoenix in atteRd- ance, and its propriety maintained for some two hours, MT. Cheyney rather smiled at the enterprise of the Repub- lican in upesrthIng it as an exposure.
 It appears that the appropriation bill as prepared by the committee and passed by the House provided that the sum of 5000 each should be paid to the Phoenix Republican and the Phoenix Gazette for publishing the daily Legis- lative proceedings, ignoring entirely the services rendered by the other daily paper-the Herald.

temporary account of the affair, ''they entered the house armed with dead mans hand, with a lighted candle in it,
 believing that candle so placed will
 not be seen by any but those by whom it is used, and also that if a candle in a dead mans hand be introduced in a house it will prevent those who may be asleep from awakening. The inmates however, were alarmed; the robbers fled, leaving the dead mans hand be- hind them"
 Many similar stories are told of the use of the dead hand by thieves, one communicated by Rev. S. Barring Gould being worthy of notice. Two men, hav- ing come to lodge in a public house with a view to robbing it, asked per mission to pass the night by the fire, and obtained it. When the house was quiet, the servant girl, suspecting mis- chief, crept downstairs and looked through the keyhOle, when she saw the men open a sack and take out dry, withered hand. They anointed the
 fingers with some unguent, and lighted them Each finger famed except the thumb, which indicated that one of the household was not asleep.
 GrOse gives a full account of this charm as used by French housebreakers, and variation of the same belief pre- vailed in Belgium. Not far from Bail leui, in West Flanders, thief was cap- tured on whom was found the foot of man who had been hanged, which he used, when engaged in his robberies, for putting persons to sleep. Similar in- stances are quoted from Spain and Ger many. and it is noteworthy that Mex ican thieves have been known to carry

FRANK PROCTOR of this city is cendi-
 date of the office of United States mar shal. Petitions to that end are circu- lating throughout the country, and are being numerously signed. We have no idea that any change in the office VIII be made in the near future, but when one is made the honors of the office cannot fall on better citizen than Frank Proc tor. The CITIZEN was in favor of w. K. Meade for the pla and if MeRdeis still i3 the field the CITIZEN is still in favor of Meade. He made an excellent mar shal under trying and peculiar circum- stances and won the respect and cont- dence of the law abiding portion of the community. He has been tried and demonstrated safe man, but since hls appointment as superintendent of the Terri orIal prison he is said to be no logger in the field for the marehglship. If such is the case then the tow line IS out for Frank Proctor. Mir. Proctor is at present under sheriff of Pima county. He is good citizen and good officer and if he gets the marshalship when the present incumbent quits, the honors will be worthily worn. No mistake can be made ID signing his petition.

SAN DIEGO & PHOENIX.
The Company is Now Ready to Be-
 gin Work.

As briefly stated in the HERALD yesterday afternoon the San Diego x Phoenix railroad company filed its incorporation papers under the laws of Arizona to build the road from Phoenix to Yuma. The filing be- gin made at five o'clock 1t was i'm possible to give the names of the fficers aud incorporators, but which are here given:
 D. C. Reed, president; NJ. E. Col lins, first vice president and G. H. Merrill, secretary; H. E. Kemp, Wm. Christy, E. F. Kellern. James A. Fleming and H. Story, incor- porators.
 The capital stock is placed at $3, ,5oo,ooo of which 35o,ooo has been subscribed. This organization places things in shape to begin business on this end of the line i'm mediately. The survey will be made as soon as the men can be got into the field and the blank deeds for the securing of the rights of way will be presented along the line. It is estimated that there will be no obstacle in the way of the lines as the owners of land along the line will be as anxious for the road to be built as are any of the citizens of Arizona.
 MT Reed and Mayor Carlson will return to Phoenix in about two weeks when the active survey work will have been started.

A PRESBYTERIAN clergyman-a Rev. pr. Dickey of Philadelphia-has aston ished the people Of his faith by uphold ing the old creed of infant Galnnation. The fellow probably has 10 faith in his pratings, but like common blatherskite is seeking notoriety at the expense of his church. He declared that if the presbytery were to strike that clause from the creed and accept the doctrine that infants who die before being bap- tized are saved mothers would feel justified in killing their babes to save their souls. Mothers, he said, would regard infanticide as 8 service to the Lord. Is it possible that there are mothers in Philadelphia who will accept such vulgar, csnting wretch as teacher and guide in matters spiritual? If there are such they deserve the stigma he places upon them.

THE fellow Bently, at one tine Court House gardener in this city, but who subsequently went to Los Angeles and married wealthy Spanish wiGow-a woman old enough to be his mgther- has been sentenced to the penitentiary for life, for poisoning the cd girl in order to get her money. Ben Goodrich, one of the bsst lawyers in the country, assisted in defending him, and Judge Anderson, formerly of this city-another A. l assisted in the pro sscution. Bently's guilt was clearly proven and the verdict was life imprisonment. It transpired during the trial that even as he gave the old lady her daily dose of strichnine he was fostering loves fond dream of a conquest in this city, and but for the in tervention of the law was ID fair way to succeed. But the lover's knot slipped and the hsngman's moose dangled too uncomfortably close to be conducive of pleasant dreams. He goes to penitenti- ary for life and society is fortunate in being thus rid of human wolf.

 Then there is the corpse-candle, a
 weird implement of the robbers trade,
 which, although common throughout
 Europe, seems to have been more gen.. eral in Germany than any other 'coun- try. Not so long ago, it may be remem- bered, four peasants in the south Rus sian government of Kursle murdered a girl in order to make candles of her body, the notion being that such a hideous light not only renders the per petrators of robberies invisible, but actually throws the victim or victims into state of sOmnolence. In the Ger man criminal codes of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries we find ex- press mention made of penalties against a crime the motive of which was the making of thieves" or ''sleep-produc- ing candles" This superstition has fig ured in many trial, and seems to be, even to the present day, implicitly believed in by the criminal classes. h. deed, it was suggested that the White chapel murders were instigated by this idea-a theory which the celebrated Dr. Bloch, member of the Austrian reichs- rath, was induced to support.

SHERMAN NOTES.
A morning contemporary says:

A morning contemporary says.
 The Sherman notes are paid for silver bullion, and nothing is faIrer than that the should be redeemable in silver coin, at the convieniepce Ot the Government.
 The Sherman notes are issued in pay ment of silver bullion at its gold valua- tion. Consequently gold should be paid for bullion so purchased. The government says to the holders of sil- yer bullion. "We will give you GO cents in gold for 100 cents worth of silver valuation" Having bought this silver at 40 per cent discount, by promising to pay in gold, It is proposed that the government pay the 60 cents in silver. While it is stipulated in the notes is sued ID payment of silver that they may be paid in gold or silver, the clear un- derstanding Is that silver should be kept at parity with gold. So long as the dollars of the two metals have equal debt-paying and purchasing power it makes a difference in which kind of money the notes shall be paid. But if the gold dollar and the silver dollar should part company the notes issued in payment of silver at its gold valua- tion must in comon honesty be paid in gold. The payment of greenbacks in gold is less obligatory. When green backs were issued they were made pay able in coin of either metal. As they have always been paid in gold, there is an implied understanding that they al ways will be. Even If the country should reach the single silver standard it is probable that bonds, greenbacks and so-called Sherman notes would be pald in gold.-S. F. Call.

been represented at all. Mir. Cheyney
 very properly insisted that if the print
 ing of the proceedings was a proper | object for Territorial remuneration tt al
 no selection should be made in the re-
 cipients of payment. Especi lily should
 that payment not ignore services that had been faithfully rendered while
 rewarding a paper that had rendered none.
 Possibly the exposure vas on the other side and the Republican feared that an examination of its copy might show not the hand writing of reporter but the scissored columns of an evening
 contemporary that had really done the
 work.
 But the true animus of the attack seems to be explained by the failure of little bit of proposed business earlier in the session.
 MT. Cheyney for the past four years h filled the office of Superintendent of
 ubIlS lbSli bhO pun POoC OA printing there is appropriated to that office the sum of 5000 annually. Mr. Cheyney says the editor of the Republi- can came to him asking him for that printing for the year 1893. As the law places DO re- striction upon the time of the year the ,r,pt-ro p,or h. oop4rootad for ar tho time of year in which the whole appro- priatioR may be expended, this might with perfect legality have been done. As, however, the change of administra- tion had made it certain that MT. Chey- ney would serve but one quarter of this year, and that three-quarters of the ap- propriation should, in all justness be at the disposal of his successor, MT. Chey ney's refusal to comply with the requt st of said editor was as eminently fair as the attack upon him by the Republican in conseou uence is the reverse.
 This exposure business is always an ascertain one, and in this instance by an unsuspected side light assumes very different aspect. A newspaper always lowers itsef in public estimation when it descends from criticism to abuse, ard Impugns the motives of men when called upon to comment on their actions.
 When in addition the cause of such criticism is but petty private grudge through disappointment of pecuniary gain, the newspaper column ceases to fill either of its vacations, the reflector or moulder of public opinions. It becomes simply common libeller and the object of its petty abuse is but compiimented by the source.
 There was no abler representative in the Seventeenth Legislature than MT. Cheyney, nor one who worked more faithfully to honestly represent not only the people of his own county but the interests of the Territory as a whole. His good, common sense and unblemlshed record as public official are matters of fact, which can neither be hidden nor exposed. With more men of the cahber and standing of George Cheyney in the we would have better laws and better government, less blundering and less plundering.

Hard Characters.

The coach "Grand Central" that will be in use at the Worlds Fair with Charley Meaeows' Wild West show, was purchased from the Earp brothers by ]. D. Kinnear. They brought it from California with them and it was first run as an Ariz ona stage in 1880 when the railroad had reached Pantano. It was put on between Pantano and Tombstone and was the coach upon which John P. Cum was riding when the cow boys raided it and made John foot it over the hills to Benson. It was the same coach upon which Bud Philpot rode when he was killed by highwaymen a short dis tance from Tombstone.
