Fatalist. but Cautious.

Most men who profess belief in des-
tiny and an Indifference to fate, when
brought face to face with danger or
placed in a desperate situation, seek to
avoid rather than embrace the inevita.
BILE result of the event regarding which
they have held such philosophical opin'
ions.
A case in point is related by traveller
returning from the south and hinges up
on the experiences of minister of the
REORGANIZATION school of belief on Mis-
sissippi steamer in the good old fashioned
days of river racing, when a negro sal
on the safety valve and the furniture
and woodwork of the boat fed the fire.
The captain, seeing rival boat half 8
mile ahead, began to curse in true ole
time style and ordered tar pine knots
naval stores, bacon, etc., to be thrown
in to kindle the fire as hot as possible
AS the steam got higher and higher and
the old boat trembled and groaned un
der the pressure, the preacher drew
nearer and nearer to the stern.
Noticing this, and never losing an OPP
portunity to crack a joke, the bluff cap
tain tapped the fatalist on the shoulder
and said: "Hello, Brother Blank, what
ailing you? l thought you was one O
them fellows what believes what is tx
happen will happen no how"

ing himself up. $50 do, but want Il

, A JAPANESE LAWN GAME.
IT Is Known as Tema and Is n Modified
Form of Our Polo.
r-o,,,, 20 +ba napa piven IN n neyv lawn


Tema is the name given to new lawn
game. 1t has been adapted to play on
foot from the japanese form of polo
called alphabetically striking balls"
This game is played on ponies in rec
tangular Enclosure rallied in by stout
bamboo post and rail fence about four
feet high, except at one end, where
boarded fence or screen about eight feet
high replaces the post and rail.
In the center of this screen is a circu-
lar hole about IS inches in diameter, be-
hind which is fixed Melted bag rather
longer than an ordinary landing net.
This is the goal. Eighteen feet in front
of this goal screen another post and rail
fence is fixed across the Enclosure. This
is the goal barrier, which prevents the
players from getting any nearer to the
goal. At the other end attendants stand
with supply of balls and rackets.
The number of players is generally
seven q side, but sometimes fewer. Each
side wears distinctive badge, generally
white and red. The balls are also of two
colors, white and red, and are unlimited
in number The object of the game is
for the white players to sling white balls
and the red players red balls into the
goal. When either side has put seven
balls into the goal net, it reaches the
second stage of the game. 1t has then
to play with single ball. white or red,
as the case may be, with black zone or
some other distinguishing mark upon it.
The side which first succeeds in scor-
ing its zoned ball wins the game. The
racket, or wand, as it has been called,
used for singing and carrying the ball,
has light bamboo handle some feet
inches long. At the thinner end a
crook of split bamboo is fixed. Across
this crook loose silk net is fixed, thus
forming shallow spoon or scoop. Some
dexterity is required in picking up the
ball and retaining it in the crook. To
do this successfully the wand must be
continually kept in motion.
The lawn game is of course played on
foot instead of on horseback. The in
closure is reduced to about the dimen-
sions of lawn tennis court. The wands
are the same as those used in the Japa-
nese game, and the balls are of the same
weight. A more sociable lawn game car
hardly be imagined, and as there is plen
ty of exercise it can be played at al
times of the year when the ground is no
too wet.-"Things japanese"

DEVOURED OF REMORSE.
The Cause of Inspector Waterbury, s
 DeCay

w y Decay.
 l Postofice Inspector Geo. H. Water bury came to town yesterday. The
 most intimate friends of the genial in- spector had to look at him the second
 time to recognize him. His old-time
 bright features were wan shrunken and
 clouded and his hearty laugh had dwin- dled to painful croak. If any are curious as to the cause of the inspector s dilapidation and they should ask him in
 the reprehensible slang of the period,
 Whats eatin' you?'' the inspector would probably reply that he was being devoured of remorse. Nobody would
 believe that he would willfully commit crime which would breed troubled conscience and he has not done so, but he has been the instrument in the hands of circumstances, if circumstances may be said to have hands, of inficting wrong, the memory of which will haunt him as long as Colonel Bissellis at the head of the post office department.
 It happened when Inspector Water bury was in Phoenix the last time but one. He was detained here several days by the strike, and had lodgings in the Commercial hotel. A few days be- fore Inspector Waterbury arrived there came man from Kansas City, con- sumptive, in the last stage of that terri ble disease. His physicians had told him that he was beyond the reach of human skill. Even the dry and health ful atmosphere of Arizona could not save him or. indeed, prolong his life. It could, though, make death less painful. So he came here to die amid peaceful and quiet surroundings and with the greatest possible degree of comfort.
 But luck was against him and he found himself face to face with death in it's most violent and vociferous mood.
 Inspector Water bury was assigned a room next to him. It is an open secret among the inspectors most intimate friends and all the hotel keepers in the half dozen states and territories ill his district that he holds the Police Gazette belt as the champion snorer of America.
 The second morning after his arrival the consumptive called on him with tears in his eyes and told him that he was intensifying the agonies of dying man and begged him to leave the coun- ty. The inspector prepared to leave the following morning, but the con- sumptive died the night before.

HERMAN WOOLF AGAIN.
Heard from at Flagstaff Less Than
 a Week Ago.

MT. Phil. Brennan yesterday received letter from his brother, Dr. D. J. Brennan of Flagstaff, in reply to an in- quiry made concerning Herman Woolf, the Indian trader. Dr. Brennan writes that Woolf had been seen at various points ln the vicinity of Canon Diablo at different periods ranging from ten to thirty days previous to the date of his letter and that only the day before an order for merchandise had been received from him by firm in Flagstaff so that there could be no doubt that he was still alive. Dr. Brennan also says that he had been told by Woolf that he had a brother, an officer in the German army, thus leaving no doubt that the Canon Diablo trader is the man con- corning whom the German consul at San Francisco had made inquiry in the interest of Maj. Gen. Woolf of Dr esden, Germany,

TRANSPORTATION DENIED,
Members of the Fire Department
 Explain.


 Members of the fire department called at THE REPUBLICAN office yester- day to correct an impression that the alarm described in THE REPUBLICAN Of yesterday was planned for the purpose Of interfering with the fiesta parade.
 They say that the alarm was unwar- ranted and that if the department or those members of it who took part in the run had known the circumstances no run would have been made. The greatest care, they say, was exercised during the run down Washington street and they deny that any person was struck and knocked down by the engine or hose carts as was re- ported. Chief Goodman says that he investigated the rumor that the alarm

had been planned and is convinced that it was not He explains further that Washington street was chosen for the route for the reason other parallel streets are so rough that passage at a great rate of speed is dangerous, and he cites the circumstances that two men have been injured during the past year by being thrown from the engine while running on those streets.

AN ALL-ROUND CROOK.
New Evidence Secured Against
 Ferguson.
The Prosecuting Witness Against Him Explains Her UnWilIlngness
 to Testify.

It has been esta blished that W. H. Ferguson the sneak thief arrested at the Gregory house last Thursday is more thorough crook than he was then sus- pected to be. Among his effects there were discovered yesterday implements for converting stolen jewelry into un- recognizable masses of metal. They consist of blow pipe a mixture of charcoal and English walnut shells lines with substance resembling plaster of paris. The shells were used to receiving the drippings from the melting metal. A gold button was found in one of them.
 There were besides numbe of gold rings which he had evidently not had time to convert.
 Miss Lichtenstein, now Mrs. Kirchoh, whose room he had burglarized yester- day explained to Justice Kincaid the cause of her apparent unwillingness to testify against Ferguson at his prelim- mary examination the day before.
 She said that when he returned to her room to tell her that he would restore her watch if she would not appear against him he told her that if she did make him any trouble he would kill her if it was the last act of his life, She was intimidated by the threat and would willingly have accepted his terms. Beside, she was to be married that night and so had another reason against appearing in court. The matter had gone so far, however, that she was unable to prevent his arrest and was forced to become prosecuting witness.

Exposure to Changes of Tempera-

Public men are constantly liable to danger arising from sudden changes of temperature; sometimes from heat to cold, sometimes the reverse.

 II desire to bear my testimony to the value of Allcock's Porous Plasters. have used them for pains in the back and side arising from rheumatic and other causes, never without deriving benefit from their application. They are easily applied and very comforting. Those engaged as I am in public work which involves exposure to sudden changes Of temperature, will do well to keep 8 supply of Allcock's Porous Plasters in their portmanteaus."
