HThe Arizona, in its time the fastest
steamships gfioat, has been retired from
service. She was built in 1879 and
was then considered a marvel in marine
architecture. She cost f150000. She
was the fastest vessel afioat till her
companion, the Alaska, was built two
years later, which lowered the ocean
record across to seven days. Each
steamship line has a system of naming
their vessels, and it is altogether likely
the Guion line used the names of the
states and territories for their vessels.
Thus the Arizona got her name because
it began with A.
Last night the frolicsome element of
the Tucson boys were out, at the park.
They marched into the park gravely, up
the steps of the band stand, and around
in the order usual with the band. There,
without smiling, they had a band con-
cert. The r6t-tRt-tat for attention was
beat. The boys attended. Then with
wave of stick beating time. they started
on the everlasting Cadets March" OF
which the band never fails of presenta-
ton. The music was vocal, bass, cor
net, from bones and all. When il was
finished they applauded themselves.
Presently they had vocal number
it was very vocal in fact. They had a
half-dozen concerted efforts to "Bring
Back Bonnie from over the Sea" that
should bring back any number of Bon
MES over any number of seas. Then
they formed themselves into a militia
squad and had some tactics. The whole
frolic was slyly and intensely funny to
the neighborhood.
Last night sad sight could be seen
seer on the Silver lake road, A young
Pspago, about eighteen years old, had
been in Tucson with a LOAD of wood.
He was returning, perched on the high
seat of his wagon, hanging to the seat
with one hand, and to a bottle
of whisky with the other. He was very
drunk. Ola sudden he lurched for
ward, and fell to the ground, striking
on his head. The fall skinned his fore
head fearfulIy, but he evidently felt
nothing. He gravelled in the dust there, |
his horses patiently waiting for the word |
to start. The travellers on that road |
were all Levites. They looked at the
drunken, bleeding boy, expressing the
opinion that such fall was enough to |
sober him, and passed by on the other
side. No good Samaritan came along
with stomach or muscle enough to boost !
him into his wagon and start him on,
80 he probably put in the night in the
dust beside his wegoD.
