The use of hollow spars for boats de-
signed to attain great speed has intro
duced a new and novel industry requir-
ing workmanship of the finest charac-
ter. The stick for this purpose is re
quired to be of exceptionally fine and
straight grain, and after being roughly
shaped is split lo~ngitudinally from enc
to end; the center of each of the halves
is then followed out, and a greater OF
less amount is removed, according to
the intended location of the spar, the
upper spars being much the lighter.
These hollows run nearly the length 81.
the spar, great care being essential tc
have them follow the taper of the out
side of the spar exactly, to insure uni
form thickness at every point-ot coErs,
when this has been done and the two
halves of the spar replaced in thei-
original position, a circular hole Is lett
in the center of the spar. running neal
ly the whole length, and following it,
taper from end TO end. After this the
two halves are fastened in place again
by means of wooden bowels, which fas-
ten the split together, being placed al
ternately on either side of the central
hollow, and both bowels and split are
carefully glued. These bowels vary in
size with the size of the spar, but are
usually as long as they can be made
without piercing its outside surface.
They are placed slightly nearer the cen
ter hollow than the outside, in order TO
give them all the length possible. In
small spars the glue and the bowels
suffice, but in large ones metal bands or
the outside are added.--New York Su

eggs are merely boxes for holding a
substantial souvenir, in the shape Of

appear that the presenting Of tokens

tabooed in an Easter offering this
year. This rule is rigid. By senti-
ment is meant anything approaching

As A matter of fact the majority of women do not want to vote ; they only desire the right to vote. This will prove itself to any one who will take the pains to watch the polls at the school election next Saturday.-Prospector.
 fBro. Bagg had been in St. Johns on the day of our school election, we are under the impression he would entertain a different opinion. We are informed that fully one-half of the 248 ballots cast were depos- ited by ladies. In fact they appear ed to take as much, if not more in- terest in the election as the men.

It IS noted in our Washington dispatches that had May been as hot as June is, the Tariff bill would have been passed long since. But everything is relative and De Witt Warner was quite right when he said that if the House did not stay in Washington to fight the senate's bargain with the Sugar Trust, the members would find their own districts good deal hot ter than the National Capital in dog days.-New York Times.

Newspaper Subscription Law.

Few readers or publishers of pa
 pers fully and clearly understand the laws governing subscriptions The decision of the United States court is:
 1. Subscribers who do not give express orders 10 the contrary are considered as wishing to renew their subscriptions. : 2. If subscribers order the dis continuance of their periodicals, the publisher may continue send ing them until all arrearages are paid.
 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the postoffice to which they are direct ed. they are responsible until they have settled bills and ordered them discontinued.
 4. If subscribers move to other places without informing the pub fishers and the papers are sent to the former address they are held responsible.
 5. The courts have decided that refusing to take periodicals from the office or removing and leaving them uncalled for. is prima facia evidence of intentional fraud. 6. If subscribers pay in advance, they are bound to give notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking it; other wise the publisher is authorized to send it and the subscriber will be responsible until an express notice with payment of all arearages is sent to the publisher.
 The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can ar rest any one for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this law the man who al- lows his subscription to run along for sometime unpaid, and then or rlrrs it@diseontinuer. or orders tho postmaster to mark it "refusedD and has q postal card sent notify ing the publisher, lays himself liable to arrest and fine, the same as for theft.

THE HERALD has no particular objection to any labor organization instituting a strike, whenever they have, or think they have, sufficient cause. Naturally, our sympathies are always on the side of the weak, and we want the strikers to carry their point, when they are in the right. But, this thing of getting along without communication from the outside world, is becoming just a little monotonous. We may be able to stand it two or three weeks longer. If, at the end of that time Mir. Pullman does not come down from the high horse he has mount ed, we would advise the American Railway Union, to go to Mir. Pull man and swing him up by his great toes until he comes to his right mind.

Thomas Gallagher, who murder ed Constable Hawkins some time since at Jerome has published a notice that he lis about to apply for a communication of sentence" The murder which he committed was wholly unjustifable and with out a single mitigating circumstance, and if ever a man deserved the full penalty of the law the man who murdered Hawkins did. Governor Hughes will give encouragement to the commission of murder if he in- terferes in any way with the sen tence imposed, as the sentence was inadequate to the crime.-Journal Miner.

Falling silver lowers the prices of our principal exports-wheat, cot ton, etc.-in the markets where we have to sell. Therefore the correct thing for us to do is to pile up tariff taxes and still further raise the prices of the goods which our farm CTS get in exchange for their falling wheat, cotton, etc. When we are forced to sell cheap ''it is evidently no time to lower tariffs" so that we may buy cheap; it is time to raise our tariffs so that we must buy dear That is the Tom Reed political econ omY. This might not be so utterly bad if there were any hope of bring ing Great Britain and other Euro pean countries into a bimetallic union by the means proposed. But MT. Reed knows very well that those countries cannot be coerced by hos tile tariffs. He hasn no real thought of coercing them. What he wants is to fasten McKinleyism, or some thing worse, upon the country for an indefinite period by appealing to the supposed hostility of Ameri- ans,and especially American farm CTS, to Great Britain. That is all there is of the Reed-Lodge scheme of coercive duties leveled at Great Britain.-Chicago Herald.

Politicians who are extremely anxious to have understood that they are with "the people, have always affected a great hostility to the Army. and United States Sena- tors, before Peffer and Allen were ever heard of, talked like anarchists about the crime ofstationing troops near large cities with the view of shooting down 'the people" in the event of strikes and like diversions. So far as we are aware, the troops have not been used agalnst "the people" on any occasion unless "the people" were doing something in violation of law, but the real people in our large cities, peaceful, law abiding, industrious, thrifty people, feel a little more comfortable, be- cause, in addition to the police and the National Guard, there are with in reach a few companies of real soldiers. commanded by real off, cers and armed with real guns New York Journal of Commerce.

Of the 120 customs districts of the United States, the Arizona district ranks twentieth in the magnitude of import business and forty-third in exports. The imports for April, 1894, were $S1,754, as against $148,754 in 1898. The ex- ports for the corresponding periods respectively were s31 ,249 and 25,. 969. The falling off in imports was largely attributable to the fact that most of the dutiable ore from Sonora last year came through this port for reduction at American smelters has recently been going to San Francisco via Guaymas.-V1- dette.

Alexander Dumas is as unasham- ed as was his father of the negro blood that runs in his veins. The Bishop of Autun having recently delivered an address on the aboli- tion of slavery, M. Dumas wrote him sympathetic letter, in the course of which he said: "A reader like myself, who has only to go back four generations to find negro slaves among his ancestors. could not re- main deaf to the eloquent appeal. It is, therefore, not only for our brothers from the Christian point of view, that I thank you, Mon- seigneur, but perhaps also for some real relatives whom I may still have on board the slave-traders' vessels.h New York Evangelist,

THE Prescott Courier very truly remarks: Every citizen of the Uni ted States in the enjoyment of that liberty outlined in the declaration of independence and vouchsafed by the constitution has a perfect right to quit work when it suits him so to do. If several thousands of citi- zens conclude to quit work for any corporation at a given time, no il- legality can possibly attach to such action. On the other hand, any citizen has a legal right to work for any wages and on any time he may choose, and the law of the land must protect him in such action.

BLAND, the silver champion in the lower house of Congress, used the following language to news paper reporter short time since, in reference to Tom Reeds effort to make tariff and silver one question, in order to compIicate matters and still further hoodwink the mass of the people: There is no need of uniting the tariff and silver ques- tions. They are wholly indepen- dent. If the United States will coin silver it will force England and other foreign countries to re- cognize silver without threatening with discriminating tariff duties. They must sell us their goods, and if We insist on offering them silver 1t will soon become their interest to make silver valuable. We must ac- complish the end at home, and not adopt Mr. Reeds plan of going abroad and securing free silver by threats of higher tariff. It is prob able that his main desire is not so much to aid silver, but to establish higher protective duties against Eu- ropean countries" ]"

The Padre Mine.

Yavapia county has rival to the
 lost Nigger Ben mine, "where mug
 gets lay on the ground as thick af dead leaves under cottonwoods ir winter" This other mine is known
 to tradition as the Padre mine and a correspondent of the Prescott Journal-Miner gives the story of it as follows:
 Years ago, priest, with two Mexican guides, coming from the Sandy to the Santa Maria ran out of water. He stopped in the can yon, tied the animals to tree, and sent the Mexicans out in the hills in search of water, himself going in an opposite direction for the samej purpose. He turned in the first gulch he came to, and going up about 300 yards, picked up a piece of quartz, and looking up, saw the ledge cropping out on the opposite side of the gulch, about 200 lyards saboye. In the gulch was lone cottonwood tree. H The Padre put the piece of quartz i'll a pouch that he carried with him, and finding no water, went back to where he had left the animals. He found the Mexicans had returned without finding any water, nor did they find any until they got to Santa Maria. The priest went to San Francisco, and there had the rock assayed. It asayed S4,000 in gold to the ton. Since then, the Padre has made many trips to the Santa Maria in search of the lost mine. He had man prospecting for it for six months; last year he was here himself, and with two Mexican guides, went out to hunt for it, but he failed to find it. He said the trail the Mexicans took him oyer was not he trail he came, when he ran out of water and found the mine

Senator Teller turned the table neatly yesterday on his Republican colleagues who were denouncing the income tax. He quoted strong indorsments of the tax as ''just and equitable" from Republican leaders in the past-Morton, Sherman. Morrill, and others-and showed that the tax was repealed in 1871 by only one majority in the Senate, every vote against repeal being Re- publican. It was not of "war measure" but of a just principle of taxation that John Sherman said in 1870: "Why, sir, the income tax is the only one that tends to equalize the burdens between the rich and the poor.
