The population OF the town was re-
duced by one last night. That one is
A. 4. Chapman, young man who
came here some weeks ago to take the
opium cure. The cure was successful,
that is The opium habit was removed,
but its removal disclosed lot of other
cussedness and mental obliquity which
had been over Swallowed by the in
fuence of tine drug. Mr.. Chapman
celebrated his emancipation by getting
drunk and creating a disturbance, for
which he was locked up. He was given
10 days yesterday morning, but the
court entered into stipulation with
him by the terms of which he was to
leave town. He went last night and
Deputy Marshall Hickey went with him
to the depot to bid him an affectionate
farewell.
The oldest white man now in the

is Mr.. B. P. Alderman, whose age is

has been in Phoenix is Col. R. W.
Thompson, ex-secretary of the navy,
who spent some time here last spring.
This matter of longevity in the Salt
River valley has not been considered
and many will learn with surprise that
so few persons of advanced age live
here. 1t may be easily accounted fol
by the fact that settlements are usually
made by men of middle or under mid
le-age, so that since settlements were
formed in the Salt River valley, the
settlers have not had time to grow old

COURT MATTERS
Mrs. Holland Pulls a
String to a Gift.
The Crowned King Case
Heard in Chambers.
A Motion to Dissolve the In
junction Is Allowed.
AS the November Term Approaches
Lawyers Are Beginning to Get
Move on Themselves.

There is growing activity in district
court circles as the next term ap-
proaches. Comparatively few cases
have yet been filed, circumstance
growing out of the proverbial dilatori-
ness of lawyers. Within the last three
days, however, several suits have been
entered and there is prospect of a
Cherokee strip rush in the district
clerks Office, which will be terminated
only by the limit of time within which
cases may be filed.
Among yesterdays cases was one by
Ellen Holland of Phoenix, against
Richard Williams, of Honolulu, Sand
witch Islands. The defendant is a
nephew of the plaintiff, who on April
II. 1890, executed a deed to him
to lot 4 in block 20, of Phoenix.
Her purpose not fully determined upon
at that time, was to make the property
future gift to Williams. The deed
was placed in escrow and was to be de-
livered to Williams only upon writ
ten order from the plaintiff. She had
not concluded to make the gift, but in
some way Williams, on January 20,
1892, obtained possession of the deed
without her knowledge or authority
and had it recorded.
She now brings suit to annul the
deed and obtain possession of the title
to the property. The plaintiff is repre-
scented by Messrs. Fitch & Campbell.
Suit was brought against Thomas
Davis and R. E. Sloan by J. E. Walker,
assignee of the Hartford Banking com.
pany, to recover about 5000, the amount
OF an overdraft.
The case of the Crowned King Min
ing company VS.. Harrington ct ais,
was heard before Judge Baker in cham
bers. The plaintiff was represented by
Messrs. Morrison and Baldwin and
johnson of Prescott, and the defend
ants by John G. Herndon and I. G..
Norris. The hearing was on a motion
to dissolve an injunction, though the
real action appears to have been an eff
fort by the attorneys to decide which of
them represent the corporation. The
motion was allowed.
The case of the San Francisco Bridge
company against the South ella Canal
company. entered last Monday, was
dismissed upon the motion of the plain
tiff.

The occupation of the other two,
however, was what most attracted the
gentleman's attention. One of them
was pulling a tooth for his companion,
who had had a bad night of it. The

A Singular Wedding Custom.

Thh Mandingoes, who inhabit tract
of country in Africa, are strict Mo-
hammedans in religion, but, curiously
enough, they still retain many of the
s1perstitions of the African races from
which they sprung. Consequently
their marriage ceremony is mixture
of the two, and, although it is per-
formed by marabout, or holy man in
the mosque, it contains one very ridic-
ulous element. Next in Importance
to the marabout is the bridegroom
sister, and when the marriage cere.
mony reaches the point where the visi-
BILE bond, usually typified in civiliza-
tion by the ring, this sister steps for
ward and in place of the ring presents
the lady with pair of trousers, which
are Immediately donned. The cere-
mony is concluded by mournful song
sung by the companions Of the bride,
who then conduct her again to the
home of her parents, as, owing to the
extreme probability of one or the other
retracting Mt any moment by reason OF
an unfavorable omen, no house is built
until the ceremony is completed. Poly
gamy is the rule, but each wife has her
own house, to keep her from quarrel
ing with the other wives. They are
the most tyrannical wives in Africa
and, hating each other, band together
against their husband and rule him
with rod of iron.-New York Com
mercial Advertiser.

A Canal Prepared by Glaciers.

In recent lecture before the Chi
cago Geological Society Ossian Guth-
rie, civil engineer, who has been
engaged in making surveys for the
proposed drainage canal, said that in
ages long past immense glaciers had
opened natural channel for the canal
from Chicago toward the southwest as
far as the Mississippi River. He ex-
hibited large number of boulders
gathered along the path of the glacier,
which, from their meteorological struc-
ture, evidently came from far up in
Canada, and showed how the tremend-
ous pressure exerted by the ice fields
of the Hudson Bay region had pushed
immense foes of ice southwark over
Michigan and Illinois, opening the
most feasible way for the proposed
canal New Orleans Picayune.

There are 5552 benefces in England
and Wales affording less income to
the incumbents than $1,000 year.
There is great complaint at the poverty
OF the clergy. 1t is almost as grievous
to-day as in Sydney Smiths time, and
the New Orleans Picayune suggests
that the witty and sarcastic jibes of
that reverend satirist on the policy
that permits such conditions might be
reproduced. If England is to have an
established church she should not give
princely incomes to bishops and leave
the humber clergy to abiect poverty
and misery.

sEAsoNABLE RECIPES.

Liver-A very nice and tasty way Of
cooking liver is to cut it in slices about
an eighth of an inch thick, and to
make the dish look nicely stamp the
liver in rounds with pastry cutter
and season it with pepper and salt;
then entirely cover with eggs and bread
crumbs and fry in clean hot grease un-
til nice golden color. Fry some very
thin slices of bacon and arrange them
between the liver, and pour thick
brown sauce round the dish, and un-
less you prefer the sauce plain, you
will find the addition of alittle chopped
gherkin and capers will improve IL
very much.
Palm Pancakes - Well beat three
fresh eggs, then mix three tablespoon
fuls of dry -four with pint Of new
milk. Pass it through sieve into the
eggs. Put one-half ounce of lard into
clean frying pan, and when it isquite
hot pour in little batter as thin as
possible. Scatter over il some finely
minced candied citron peel then cover
with batter as thin rs before. Fry q
light brown; drain dish and serve very
hot with half lemons. The pancakes
must be not larger than the palm Of
the hand.
Peach Short Cake-Use canned
peaches and prepared flower for this
dish. Chop quarter of a pound of but
ter into quart of prepared -four,
quickly stir into it enough sweet milk
to make soft dough; put this into
two round cakes upon buttered tin
plates and bake them in a hot oven.
Meantime open can of peaches, re-
serve the finest for the two top layers
and cut the rest in small quarters.
When the short cakes in the oven are
done and cool enough to handle, tear
them open with the aid of a fork, but
ter the insides, divide the cut peaches
upon the two bottom layers, and ar
range the fine ones on the others;
thickly dust all with sifted powdered
sugar, lay the tops upon both under
pieces and serve the short cakes with
more sifted sugar and sweet cream.
The juice of the canned peaches, well
sweetened with powdered sugar, can
be used instead Of cream.

How Parrots Shaped Americas Destiny.

A flight of birds, coupled with
sailors superstition, robbed Columbus
of the honor of discovering the conti-
nent. 1t is a curious but historical
fact. When Columbus sailed westward
over the unknown Atlantic he expected
to reach Zipangu (Japan). After sew
eral days sail from Gomera, one of the
Canary Islands, he became uneasy ut
not discovering Zipangu, which, ac-
cordlng to his reckoning, should have
been 216 nautical miles more to the
east. After long discussion he yield
ed to the opinion of Martin Alonzo
Pinzon, the commander of the Pinta,
and steered to the southwest. Pinzon
was guided in his opinion solely by
flight of parrots which took wing in
that direction. It was good luck to
follow in the wake of flock of birds
when engaged upon a voyage of dis
covery - widespread superstition
among Spanish seaman of that day
and this change in the great navi-
gators course curiously exemplifies
the influence of small and apparently
trivial events in the worlds history.
If Columbus had held to his course he
would have entered the gulf stream,
have reached Florida, and then prob
ably have been carried to Cape Hat
teras and Virginia. st. Louis Globe

The war games best calculated to
yield really useful results are those
which are sometimes played in antici-
patton of some field day or series of
maneuvres. 1t is surprising how
often there is total disagreement be-
tween the probable issues arrived at,
severally, by real men on real ground,
and those brought about by lead pieces
upon the map or model. Ground fea-
lures, SO apparently insignificant that
their existence is undiscovered even
upon the largest scale maps, will some
times suffice to alter the entire situa-
ton. Speaking generally, the com
mon result of much playing of war
games is to inculcate the mistaken idea
that, given certain data, combat has
a fixed issue. An ounce of practice is
worth ton of theory. One of the
first things which it is essential to ap-
rrsciate is that in war there is no such
thing as certainty, and that it is the
unexpected which very frequently hap
pens. All that the best general can do
is to insure the desired result as far as
he is able, and make proper prepara-
tions for meeting the difficulty in case
of failure. Broad Arrow.
