If you can conscienti- ously do so. 1 would ask you to deny the statement made in the Tribune in regard to the matter. l have aeyer denied the authorship of tile article for the simple reason that DO living person ever approached ne on the sub. feet, and 1 could not assume that it was credited to me, and interlard

Thursday, Sept. 2o, %, 1894,
For The Leglsla ture.

Hon. A. H. Emmanuel, late clerk Of the district court in and for Cochise county, has authorized presentation of his claims for nomination by the republican convention as representa- tive from Cochise in the next legisla- tive assembly.
 MT. Emmanuel has resided at Tomb stone fourteen years, and all that time has been prominently identified with the business interests of Tombstone and Cochise county. In business way he has long been an employer of labor, always paying the highest wages and ever prompt and regular in payment of wages due. Not only has that been his record at Tombstone; but it was his record at Pioche and Virginia City, Nevada, and San Francisco, in all Of which places he has conducted large business operations. His record as a business man on the Pacific coast goes back to 1852, when he established him. self in business in San Francisco and in the mining regions of California, continuing there until the outbreak of the Washoe excitement in ls59-6O.
 Remaining at Washoe ten years he then went to Pioche where he passed another ten years, coming thence di- rect to Tombstone.
 As republican MT. Emmanuel's record goes back nearly as far as his residence on the Pacific coast. In 1856 he was the only man in mining camp where he was then located to cast vote for John c. Fremont, the first republican nominee for the presiden- cy of the United States. As party worker he has always been proficient and successful, his time and his money always going freely for the cause. In 1888 he was chairman of the republi- can county central committee, and in that year was the sole and only cam paign in which the entire republican ticket was elected in Cochise county.
 In public position he has always shown the same energy and proficien- cy as in his own business affairs; and he asserts that he is willing to rise or fall right on his record as clerk of the district court.
 One Of the greatest difficulties in the territorles is to find men of capa- city and intelligence who will spare the time to attend to legislative af- fairs. In Mir Emmanuel the repub- iIcan party is offered candidate who will spare the necessary time and can and will afford the necessary expense, which all we'll know is nowhere near met by the emoluments of the posi- tioa. His friends confidently look to his nomination and as confidently pre- dict his election.

by invitation: but it is not true that 1 compromised, by one single word, my sense of loyalty to the Republican par ty. and I do not intend to do so. Grave charges bearing upon my integrity, have been whispered about the streets. To speak my defense upon tise stump and seek my vindication at the polls is largely the purpose of my independ- ent candidacy. As to the outcome l am without fear or doubt. Ordinarily man who submits his name to a con vention is, if defeated, bound in honor and conscience to support the ticket, just the same as if he were nominated. This is the rule and the.oniy commun- ity, that l know of, where departure from it is justiiable, is this one in which 1 live. The obligation to sup port the ticket nominated is recipro- cal. It binds the member of the con- vention as we'll as the candidate. This is the rule also; but this community affords an exception to 1t. Men go in- to party convention; come out and openly work against the ticket. have stated that if eight members, out of thirty-One, of the late Republican con- yention could be found, who would support the ticket and say openly that they intend to do so, l would not run, but would on the other hand, get out and work for every candidate. The people here do not draw party lines and care nothing about them. In the last general election both parties had full tickets in the field, yet only twen- ty-tive straight tickets were cast in the entire county. The best men in the county, and supposed to be the best republicans, have gotten up in republican convention, accepting at it's hands a nomination, but stat ing that they were pledged to support the democratic nominee for sheriff or some other office. A. J. Doran did this; Dan Stevens did it; others have done it.
 I have gone into these details out of my high personal regard for you and because, toOne who is not familiar with the conditions which exist in in this county, it may seem irregular for one, claiming to be a republican, to stand as an independent candidates; but of course, do not expect, or sOli- cit, your support.
 Yours Very Truly.

both sides of the front breadth were seved

inches from the bottom, and from there it
extended all around the skirt Stimulating an

The corsage to this was extremely dainty
and quite new. The front was pointed at

straight, and the edge was finished with a
piping. The velvet ribbon was placed along

There has been much talk against tea

UNCLE SANS WARsHiPs.
Fitting Ono Of Them For a Cruise Costs a
SNAIL Fortune.


Furniture and supplies for Uncle
Sans new war vessels cost mint of
money. To fit out one of these ships for
u cruise is a bigger job than equipping a
first class hotel. Here is floating for
tress as long as two city blocks. with all
modern cOnveniences and complete res
taurant facilities, lighted throughout by
electricity-a gigantic fighting machine
and military barracks combined. Her
Steel walls, brstling with guns shelter
small army of men. The New York
for example, has a crew numbering 455.
besides 40 marines and Al officers. To
feed them all for a twelvemonth at the
governments rate of allowance costs
100000.
On going iuto commission such shin
must be furnished throughout, from the
kitchen, which is as complete as that of
great city hostelry, to the captains
cabin. She carries large stocks of sta
tionery. hardware and apothecaries'
goods. and is provided With tools for all
sorts of trades. Everything conceivable
that may be needed for purposes of war
and peace is supplied, because on the
high seas no shops or factories are ac-
cessible. Usually the vessel is pro
visioned for only three months, because
there is no room to stow more. The ra
tions are purchased by the navy depart
ment and comprise such necessities as
hard bread, cornmeal, oatmeal, hominy,
flour, salt pork, beans, peas, rice, pre-
served meats, butter, coffee and tea.
Every man in the navy, from the last
boy shipped up to the admiral. has an
allowance of 80 cents day for rations,
which he may draw either in food or in
money. The paymaster of the ship has
charge of all the provisions, which are
dealt out by his 'yeoman,' who is in
turn assisted by the jacko'-dust. The
person last named attends to opening the
barrels and packages. Coffee and sugar
are served out once in 10 days, flour ev-
cry four days and meats daily. While
in port fresh provisions are furnished
each man receiving one pound of fresh
bread, II pounds of fresh meat and one
pound Of fresh vegetables per diem
THESE take the place of the ordinary IA
tions. only tea and coffee being provided
in addition. The allowance is at all
times so liberal that the enlisted men
cannot possibly consume the whole Of it.

which opened over an inner dress draped
Greek style, with a loose gold girdle. The
inner dress was of shell pink china Grape.
The sleeves were immense bishops of green
velvet bordered with ermine. Another had
the outer part nearly the same, but had a
border of coon down fur, and the under part
was. of heavily beaded green Grape studded
and fringed with mock pearls. The whole
front from the neck to the feet was almost
covered with these pearls, which showed up
exquisitely on the soft green Grape.
Magenta and solferno in all their raw
shades are to be the favorite reds of the
coming season, and one may see them in
every line of goods. Few flowers have those
hideous colors, and so we may be spared
some agony. The aniline dies have produc-
ed the two shades in fast colors OH many
cotton fabrics, among them some zephyr
ginghams and sateens. The most of the
ginghams, however, are very delicate and
dainty notably the striped ones These
last are so silky and soft that it will be
delight to possess three or four of them. |
noticed among the new percales and ging-
hams that at last apple green is made a fast
color This shade of green is so delicate and
combines so we'll with almost every color
and with white and looks so cool and fresh
on a sultry day that it is a matter for re-
ioicing to know that it will not fade out
with the first washing.
Percale and pique are to be worn as dress
goods this season, though they have been
RELOCATED to the children for many years.
They will be made quite simply, with
French yoke or surpice waists.
Speaking of children reminds me of the
new suits for wee laddies of and g. One
was suit all in one piece of plaid, shetland
brown and white, cut on the bias The
suit was cut like "A loose sack, quite flaring
at the bottom. 1t was beted with a leather
belt. The collar and cuffs were of brown
cloth, feather stitched with white. The
other was "A sailor, of dark blue storm serge,
with long trousers, not nearly as wide rs
usual The blouse gathered around the
waist with an elastic. The V shaped piece
was of thick ribbed flannel.
| notice among the new garments for
children, both boys and girls, a simplicity
rs great as can be achieved for all ordinary
clothes, while for dress occasions they are
much more trimmed than they have been
for several years. This is very sensible
movement. We like to have our children
feel free and untrammeled to romp and
play, but there are times when the gar
ments that are intended for such rough
wear are not those which would set off the
childish beauty we are all so proud of in
our own youngsters. So now, fond moth
ers, you can berufile your boy to your
hearts content and sew as many yards of
fancy braiding as you like on his little
suits, and You can make your mite of girl
into a thing of rufus, fuckers and flounces,
for fashion says so. MATE LEROY.

Language Giants.

The publication of Lady Richard Bur
toms Life" of her husband recalls some
interesting facts concerning the linguistic
career of that distinguished traveller. Like
many other language giants, he owed his
love of strange tongues to the cosmopoli-
tan education which he received. He had
his own peculiar way of mastering Ian
guage, just the same as he had a pet
theory regarding Latin pronunciation
which, by the way, got him into hot water
at Oxford. Much of his immense stock of
knowledg' he boiled down into dialectical
grammars. During the first seven years
of his residence in India he passed exami-
rations, 1t Is said, in Hindoostani, Guza-
rati Persian, Maharati, Sindhi, Punjab,
Arabic, Telugu, Pushtu an Afghan
tongue-Turkish and Armenian.
Hans Conon Won der Gabelentz was re-
puted to be acquainted with nearly 100
languages. He compiled grammars Of the
Finnish and Monaghan tongues.-Lan-

Remarkable stalactite Caves In Utah.

Two Of the most wonderful stalactite
caves in the world are located within the
territory of l'tah-one five miles south
of Toquerville and the other % miles
west Of st. George Neither is remark
able on account of size, and to the best
of my knowledge the dignifying title of
cavern has never been bestowed upon
either of the two. They simply come
within the category of the wonderful be-
cause of the immense number of stalac-
titles of various sizes and colors which
depend from their roofs. The first. the
one near ToQuerville, is known as La
Virgin. and the other by the name of the
Black Warrior.
The Virgin was discovered few years
ago by the contractor of AN irrigating
company. who was engaged in driving Il
tunnel through a mountain called La
Virgin Bench" for the purpose of tap
ping the river beyond. When the light
was first let into this wonderful under
ground chamber, the effect is said to
have been startling, the roof and floor
glittering with cubes and points of crys-
tai alum and the roof studded with mil
lions of rain cOlored stalactites.
The BLACK Warrior" cave is "a coun.
terpart of the Virgin and was discovered
by miners at a point where their tunnel
was 800 feet beneath the surface. st.
