Poor Rosina Vokes! Death upset plan
of hers which was in thorough keeping with
her sweet nature. l heard the other day
that when she was obliged to abandon her
tour on account of illness she was firmly
convinced that trip to England would
speedily restore her to health. No one could
make her believe that she had consump
ton, and she was wont to pooh pooh the
suggestion that her life was in danger So
firmly convinced was she that she would
return to America that she had declared
that she should re engage every member of
her company for two seasons at an advance
of so per cent upon their salaries. Thus she
hoped to reimburse them for the loss sus-
tanned by reason of the abandonment of her
tour. 1t would have been just like Rosina
Nokes to have paid her people for the whole
tour, despite the two weeks clause in their
contracts, before sailing for England, but
those in Il position to know say that she
was not pecuniarily able to do it.

There is no satisfactory explanation of it,
but it is certain that since the first of the
year theatrical business generally has pick
ed up wonderfully not only in this city,
but all over the country, and contrary to
the usual practice a number of excellent at
fractions will be put on the road during
this month and March. One manager who
has several shows on the road-none of
them of particularly high grade-told me
the other day that his average nightly TAX
ings since New Years day had been nearly
Is per cent heavier than before that time.
While this has been particularly disas-
trous season, the nature of the manager is
so irrepressibly hopeful that several o z lem
have already predicted that next year will
be the best theatrical men have known since
1880. These assertions are not based upon
any actual condition which would warrant
one in believing them. 1t is simply case
of the wish being father to the thought.

AN UNLUCKY VENTURE.

William Varnum Goes Into a Law
 suit Handicapped.
 The case in equity of Juan Lopez vs. William Varnum. colored, was tired before Justice Johnstone last night. It took about ten minutes. Suit was brought to recover balance of $45 on a contract to build $1G0 house.
 The itemized statements submitted by both parties were made up chiefly from memory and it unfortunately hap pened that the memories of both were defective. MT. Varnum's cross exami- nation of Senor Lopez drifted into a submission of his own testimony and finally became an argument on the side of the defense before it could be stopped. Said he: "I'se had bad luck wid dat house from de stat; I'se been wo'kin' like dawg to git hit finished and has had loh O Mexicans hired an all ov lem has done beat me. I paid one man $17 an another $10 an another $5, an made a contract wid him (pointing to the plaintiff to finish hit up fer $9O; hit aint done yit. 1 got beat on de foundation an I got beat on de walls an I'll git beat on de rufe.

E. R. PoWells Acquires $25 Worth
 of Legal Information.
 It cost MT. E. R. Powells $25 yester- day to learn that the duties of landlord over delinquent tenants do not neces- sarlly embrace those of justice of the peace and constable; that he cannot on his own authority forcibly enter the houses of his tenants and possess him. self of their effects in satisfaction of claims for overdue rent. MT. Powells was the gentleman arrested on Wednes- day night for forcibly entering the house of Letitia Watkins and taking away wearing apparel to cover an in- debtedness of about $6 for rent. He knew this amount was due him, so what was the use of resorting to the interme- diary offices of constab bles and justices to attach the goods of the delinquent tenant? By doing it himself he would save costs and time. He was astounded to learn that Justice Johnstone and Constable Garfas felt hard toward him for springing up into competition with them. If every man could be his own magisterial and executive officer, where's the use of going to the expense and worry of an election?
 Mir. Powells was SO confident of his position that he swore by the sacred precincts of the tenderloin district that he would hold the attached clothing at the point of his trusty rife.
 He was his own lawyer and insisted on doing all the talking with the result that he was given $25 or twenty-five days; he was also served with an order to return the complainant's clothing, and it was turned over with promp- tjtuda

Probable Removal of Chief Pearse a
 Matter of Regret.
 Many Phenix people are taking a deep interest in the proceedings at Denver on account of the probable re- moval from the head of the fire depart ment of Chief Julius Pearse, who, it appears by yesterdays dispatches, is to be sacrificed to the senseless claims of Governor Waite's popular friends. During Chief Pearse's visit to Phoenix three months ago on the occasion of the funeral of his brother-in-law, Julius Scheick, he made many friends who will be sorry te hear that he is deposed from the office which he has filled so long and so efficiently. No better evil dence is needed of his superior guali- tications for this place than that the insurance companies of Denver have been among his chief supporters and his friends here yesterday found hope in the belief that the influence of the companies, together with the unani- nous support of the business men of Denver. might possibly weigh with the governor yainst the demands of his impractical political friends.

The Nickel Plate here referred to is neither a railroad nor a solution for brightening skates but restaurant and a good one. It is called the "Nickel Plate" not because beans and wheat cakes are nickel plate. they are twice that amount in price and well worth it in quality, but becanse it had to have some name and "Nickel Plate" seemed suggestive of all that was fresh and bright and clean which is most appropriate to the case in point. Just now the Nickel Plate is making a speciality of pastry. It's fried chicken tickles many palate every day.

A few moments later Gen. Collins stuck his head in the door and said "Fickas, that's the handsomest design in wall paper 1 ever saw" Before Mir. Fickas could find word to express his in- dignation the general had gone out of hearing. N. A. Morford was the next caller. "Ah 1 see," said he, squinting at the walls. 'you are having the place kalsomined; that'li look better" "I guess you're spectaeles are getting to young for you," retorted the manager. "You'd better see an optician and never express an opinion about things you don't know anything about" There upon MT.
