The Old Lrhertr R.ii.

The old liberty bell now rests in Q handsome new case in the east room of Independence hall, Philadelphia The case is made of selected quar- tered white oak, is feet 10 inches square and 10 feet high. On each of the four sides is a large plate glass over { feet wide and z feet high in the center. At each corner is a bronzed pillar surmounted by neat carved work. while over each of the glass sides is an arch with the names of the 1S original states carved, that of Pennsylvania being on the key stone. Facing the doorway, lending down from the top, is a carved model of "Old Abe, the famous war eagle, the wings measuring 54 inches from tip to tip.
 Beneath, on the top part of the case, is the inscription copied from the bell, Proclaim liberty through out all the world to all the inhabitants thereof" On each corner of the top is a polished bronze torch. The bell is suspended within the case from the marred old yoke on which it hung when it made its historic peal. The yoke itself was made from tree just back of the hall This is supported by columns of bronze. and its col umns rest on a truck, which fits snugly inside the case, and appears to be simply floor. Beneath are four rubber tired wheels, which will per init a quick removal in case of fire. The new case complete cost $1, 500. Philadelphia Letter.

Music Composed While You w.ls.

It would certainly appear that when a man may run in and have a song set to music while be waits for 50 cents or S1 the end of the century is getting pretty close at hand. There are places in New York where this is done daily. By the side of and in competition with this modern com poser the late Beethoven, Chopin, ct al, would not be ''in it." Musical composition at these places is a mere matter If time. You rush up stairs with yoJr verse or idea, the composer looks at the clock, seizes pencil and blank score. mounts the piano stool and goes at it. When he gets through, which in a measure depends upon the difficulty or ease with which he can satisfy you, the time is taken, you pay your money and depart with the composition. The time charge is about that of a bricklayer, printer and other notable arts.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

died at the good old age of eighty three years. He was born on Green River, State of Kentucky, August 26, lsll, dying on his eighty-third birthday. At the age of 12 years his people moved to Illinois; he lived there twenty-seven years, married in that state, and moved to Texas in 1851, living there until after the great rebellion. After the war he moved to Kansas, lived there a short time and then went to Arkansas, and from there came to Arizona. He has been all his life what might justly be called a frontiersman, probably taking this kind of a spirit from his father, who was a Revolutionary soldier, having served one year in that gallant little band, fighting for the liberty of his coun- try. Grandpa Strahan was a model man, always beloved and respected by all who knew him, and had no enemies, but scores of friends. His wife, children and friends all unite in saying that under all circum- stances he was a kind and indulgent husband, father and neighbor. He and his aged wife have known each other since birth, he being several years her senior, has often trotted her on his knee when she was a child; they have been married a little over ffty-one years, probably the oldest married couple in the county. It seems that he was fore warned of his death. The day before he died, calling to his wife, he said: Mother, come and sit down by me, want to talk to you" She did so. He then told her that he was going to leave her, and that she must take good care of herself and live easy. He left her financially so she can we'll afford to do so, he told her. In this community he was like land mark in the midst of desert ; his advice was good for any and all; he and his aged companion have raised large and respected family of children to mourn his loss. The attendance at the funeral was the largest we have ever seen on the Verde, Beaver Creek, Oak Creek, Jerome, Lower and Middle Verde, all being we'll represented. and the verdict of all was, "we will miss him." Grandpa Strahan has left us, but his memory still remains, and pleasant hours spent in his company will always be remembered and now grandma, remember tha, all join you in your great bereavement, and may Heavens richest blessings be yours through the rest of the journey of life is the wish of the entire community, and to the child ren would say, go through and do as he has done and yours will be the Kingdom of Heaven.

LONDON POLICEMEN.
They Cost the English Metropolis Ten Mil
 lions a Year For Their SerVicea.

They Cost the English Metropolis Ten Mn-
 lions Year For Their Services.
 It costs close upon Sl0, O0O, 900 e year to police London. There arc in the metropolitan police force IS, 040 men of all ranks. and their pay, cloth ing and equipment alone cost the taxpayers of the big city fl, ,943, 959 a year. Then there is the pay of the commissioners, doctors, clerical staff and workmen generally, the mainte- nance or stations and offices and the thousand and one miscellaneous items of cost in the operation of the de. partment, which brings the total cost of the machinery for guarding the peace of the British metropolis a few pounds short of e2, GOO, 900 a year.
 There are 12, 5S5 ordinary police men on the force. They are called "constables," there being only one grade below that of sergeant. The pay of a constable varies between 24 shillings a week, the pay of new re- cruit, and ESS 12s. lid. a year, the maximum pay of an ordinary con stable. There were last year l 1,099 men on the London police force re- ceiving 24 shillings a week, which Is scarce $6 American money, although the mere comparison of money value is, of course, no criterion of the ade- quacy of the pay for the police Clothing Is supplied to the constables free, or if, from any reason of special duty, the constable does not draw his supply of clothes from the govern ment stores he receives e5 a year m place of the clothing.
 The matter of allowance is an i'm portant one in the remuneration re- ceived by every member of the force. Constables, for instance, receive an allowance of coal money when they are not living in the stations. Mar ried men get fourpence a week and single men threepence halfpenny e week. Married men living in sta tions receive 40 pounds of coal Q week the year round, single men AO pounds Q week in winter and % pounds in summer. This item of coal allowance amounted to 914, 4,O50 last year.
 The London policeman has by no means so good a job as far as remu- neration Is concerned as has the New York policeman, making all allow ance for the difference in compara, tive values there and here. Nor has he nearly so fine a place in com parison with the lot of the average Londoner as the New York police man has compared with that of the average New Yorker. Indeed the London policeman is poorly paid, even as pay goes in England.-New York Sun.
