Postmasters Disagree.

The Tucson postofflce will be in new
hands tomorrow. Postmaster DEG rolf
is about taking possession, without
awaiting the 1st of December, as origi-
nslly intended.
The change OF time is due to a disa-
greement between the incoming official
and the retiring one, over occupancy OF
the office by parts OF the two forces At
the same time. Mr.. Corbett has said
that until he goes out he will retain the
Office and permit no one there but his
force, in accordance with postal regula-
tons. Mr.. DeGroff asked that he and
his assistant be permitted to learn the
run of the Office between now and
Dec. !. This Mr.. Corbett refused. The
outgoing postmaster also asked a
stipulated compensation for instructing
the new force In the ways of dlstribut-
ing Tucson mail matter, making out
money. order business, registry and the
like. This Mr.. DeGroff refused
His force will now Set about the work,
and being competent people will probab-
ly soon have it to perfection. eff it
takes longer we can learn nights"
said Mr.. DeGroff.
Another change has befallen the
office. Emma Smith will also be retired
from the delivery window. She says
she would have been retained but a
short time anyway. Mr.. DeGroff says
had she continued satisfactory she
would probably have been retained.
Her father wanted raise for her, how
ever, and years contract, which was
refused. Master Lautero Roca will
therefore be installed at the corner
window.
Young ladies will hereafter stand
about the window instead of young

A MEXICAN BUNKO GAME.
American Travellers Are Forced to Pa
Bogus Board BiIls to Sharpers

American Travellers Are Forced to PAY
Bogus Board Bills to Sharpers.
1t is said that favorite method that
Mexican rascals have of swindling
American visitors is to watch for them
at the railway stations. and having Sc
lected victim and ascertained that he
or she preferably she) means to take
a certain train, to approach just before
train time and demand money, repre-
sented to be due as board bill at such
and such hotel, says the New Orleans
Picayune. The victim will deny owing
the bill, but the sharper insists, threat
ening to call the police and to have the
matter settled before a justice. As
the amount asked is usually for not
more than two or three dollars, the vic
tim commonly prefers to pay it rather
than to have his journey delayed, espe-
cially if he understands the peculiar
ity of Mexican law, which always
throws the burden of proof on the
American. However barefaced tbs
accusation, if it be urged by nativs
against an American, the chances are
that the victim will have to spend
some days in Belem prison before he
can satisfy the authorities that he is
innocent, and in the meantime the ras-
cally accuser disappears.

DISEASES OF MINERS.
They Are Caused Mainly by Poisonous


The alarming prevalence of miners
consumption has directed attention to
the necessity for a scientific and
thorough inspection of mining
methods, so far as ventilation is con-
cerned, the disease, which is of
modern origin, being declared to be
due to inhaling poisonous gases aris-
ing from the use and combustion of
high explosives, in which nitro
glycerine is the powerful constituent
This substance, discovered in 1916, has
come into mining use only within the
last twenty-five years, previous to
which black powder was employed. So
far as can be learned from study OF
mining and medical records, it is
stated, such disease as miners con-
sumption was unknown until very
lately; and it is for this reason that it
is supposed to be due to the gases
arising from the use of nitroglycerine,
The subject is one calling for the most
wildly extended and well-directed in
vestigation by physicians whose prac-
tice is in mining regions, and if
definitely determined to be due to the
cause named the simple but urgent
desideratum will be that of better
mine ventilation and how to secure it.
The disease is said to be one that is
closely allied to consumption, appears
to be impossible of cure, and, so far as
known, attacks none but veteran
miners, who are naturally those who
have been most and longest exposed to
the influences presumed to be the
cause of it.

There Are Few Inconvenience Which
Can Rufiie Him.
The author of sunny Manitoba"
says that the typical Canadian is char
acterized by most unusual content
edness with his lot. An old man
who was living with his wife in the
poorest shanty on the prairie, con-
structed of one-inch boards, unplas-
tered within, and whose homestead
was mortgaged, heard that by the
death of a relative in England he had
inherited large fortune.
The information came to him in the
some friend. Two or three months
later an acquaintance offered him con-
gratulations.
Il suppose it's all right" said the
Canadian, ''but l don't know"
''Have you no legal adviser?"
''No," was his reply. eff they bring
the money to us we shall be glad of it,
but they must bring it! l sha'n't
botherr'
The marquis of Lorne has amusingly
related how he tried in vain to discover
grumblers in the great northwest. One
settler who was asked whether he had
anything to complain of remained for
some moments meditatively silent.
Presently his face frightened, and he
exclaimed:
Eyes. it is cold in winter and hot in
summer, and the dust makes me wash
myself twice q weekr'
To a similar question Scotch woman
answered.:
We'll. no; that isl have not the
English-but / wud say that the milk

TAUGHT HIM A LESSON.
An Overbearing Railroad Conductor Taken


Down Peg or Two.
A friend of mine tIavC ling toward
Racine, Wis, on the Chicago e North
western last January had his mileage
book retained by conductor, says
writer in the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. After asking him few questions
the conductor put the book in his
pocket and said: ''See you later. !"
After half an hour my friend asked
him for the book. The official de-
clined to give it up. My friend then
asked permission TO copy something he
had therein, which was also refused.
At the next station the traveller stepped
eff the train into the telegraph ONCE
and sent a message 10 TIA chief of po-
lice at Racine asking for policeman
70 arrest a thief upon the arrival OF tie
train.
The policeman was there, and my
friend stepped up and introduced him
self and pointed out the conductor as
the thief who had his property in his
possession.
After much persuasion the conductor
was taken uptown in hoodlum wagon
to a Judge, who took up the case at
once. The charge was made and the
conductor admitted having bool,
taken from the man making the
charge. The case was soon concluded.
the book returned and the conductor
was fined, having in addition to pay
the costs, amounting to two dollars.

A year ago an operator was working

while fine man at the key would have

NO WASTE.

Useful.

Useful.
When Bishop Berkeley wrote his ia
nous treatise on tar water, claiming
it as A universal medicine, curing all
diseases, he little dreamed that the
time would arrive when many
medicinal preparations would be made
out of it. Important narcotics and
febrifuges have forced their way into
medicine from this source, and are
much valued by physicians, says the
North American Review.
The most curious of the useful prod
ucts of coal tar is saccharin, a sub
stance so sweet that the sensation on
the palate is disagreeable from its
cloying persistency. A grain or two
grains give the sweetness of one or
two Jumps of sugar, and it can be
taken in food without producing the
dyspeptic and equity results that real
sugar produces on some persons.
Of all living things rats seem to be
among the most repulsive, and when
dead what can be their use? But even
they are the subjects of production in
the industrial arts. The fur is valuable
and finds a ready sale. The skins
make superior glove, the CANT de rat,
and are especially used for the thumbs
of kid gloves, because the skin of the
rat is strong and elastic. The thigh
bones were formerly valued as tooth
picks for clubs, but are now out of
fashion; while the tendons and bones
are boiled up to make the gelatin
wrappers for bonbons.
Chemistry, like a thrifty housewife,
economies every scrap. The horse
shoe nails dropped in the streets are
carefully collected, and reappear as
swords and guns. The main ingredi-
ent of the ink with which l now write
was probably once the broken hoop of
an old beer barrel. The clippings of
the travelling tinker are mixed with
the parings of horses hoofs and the
worst kinds OF WOODEN rags and these
are worked up into an exquisite blue
dye, which graces the dress of courtly
danes.
The dregs of port wine, carefully de-
canted by the topper, are taken in the
morning as a sedlitz powder, to re-
move the effect of the debauch. The
offal of the streets and the wastings
of coal gas reappear carefully pre-
served in the lady's smelling bottle, or
used by her to favor blanc manages for
her friends All this thrift is an imi-
tation of the economy of nature, which
allows no waste.

that the queen has been restored to
