AT TWO o'clock on the afternoon of January 8, 8 meeting of the Phoenix Benevolent society will be held at the opera house. The society has been re- gently formed and is not yet of large mem bership. It is the desire of the promoters that it's working force be greatly increased and for this purpose the meeting is to be held as we'll as to outline campaign. Until now practi- cal charity has had 6 comparatively narrow field for operation ill Phoenix and considering the extent of destitu- tion in other cities the field is yet com. paratively narrow. Still there is much to be done. The fact that there is great deal of privation in Phoenix re- sulting from the same causes which have produced it elsewhere, cannot be disguised and there is now an oppor- tunity for the exercise of an active charity which exceptionally good for tune has go long compelled to lie dor mant. The benevolent society is not under the auspices of any church or number of churches. It is a spontane- ous movement of warm-hearted and well-to-do or comfortable people in and out of the church.

ZULUS ARE FATALISTS.
Royal Servants Allowed Themselves to Be
 Strangled on Their Masters Grave.


 strangled on Their Masters Grave.
 "Kings of the Zulus must not go to the place of the dead alone" This has been national saying of the Zulus in southeastern Africa for centuries, says writer in the African News. And they have seen it carried into effect, until prohibited by the British, who now dominate their country.
 On the death of king, certain per sons were killed, generally strangled, and those were the immediate servants of his majesty. One would suppose that individuals suspecting their prob able fate would endeavor to escape, but l have been told that rarely if ever was this the case. A sort of fatalism at taches to them, and they say, as ZuIus often do when anticipating calamities: I've can't help ourselves; we are the victims of fate" Possibly some of them comforted themselves with the belief that if they accompanied their sovereign to the unknown world, they would be supremely happy.
 Their dead bodies were so arranged in the grave that the royal corpses 1y- ing upon them might not touch the earth. A large flat stone was placed above the kings head, and into his grave were thrown all his belongings mats, ornaments and robes of state, consisting chiefly of the skins of wild animals, of the most costly kind. Then the national dirge, used only at royal funerals, an exceedingly pathetic one, was chanted by the thousands of Zulus assembled. A large mound of earth with stones and thorns upon the top marks the place of the burial, which is watched closely for weeks and some, times months, to keep witch doctors from stealing any part of the body, which is supposed to have power tc work charms and even miracles. Zulus have sacred regard for the graves ot

AN ALL ROUND FAILURE.


 The same kind of misery that usually evertakes and overwhelms the "smart aleck" has gathered about the state de- partment. What was intended to be coup q etat has resulted in the most ab- feet failure in Hawaii and covered the administration with shame at home. The moral and legal character of the project to re-seat the queen has already been sufficiently discussed, so that it is superfuous to add more than this: no man has had word to say in defense ot it. Many Democrats who have re- trained from condemning it and have endeavored to shield the administration thus far have admitted that they are acting not in support of the policy but in the interest of the party.
 Next to the character of the project the awkwardness of it's attempted ex- ecution is thing of which Americans have to be ashamed. Had the despica- ble scheme been neatly and diplomat ically carried out, that would have been something which might have offset national disgust to the scheme itself, but even the method adds to the chagrin of the American people.
 The incorrect information on which the state department proceeded was obtained from an incom- petent man, selected by unconstitu tional means. The start certainly could not have been worse, but even with this disadvantageous beginning prompt and decisive methods would have obtained success or quickness tc recognize a mistake would have avertec disgrace.
 Blount's work had to be gone ovel wholly or in part and before this wal accomplished the Hawaiians, who al ready had keen perception of theil own rights, learned that the state de partment was unlawfully pursuing il the dark policy which was violentl, opposed by an overwhelming majorit! of the American people.

LARGE number of sporting gentle

A LARGE number of sporting gentle men of the higher order have just con- cluded a meeting at that saintly host elry, the Hoffman House, N. Y. Their object primarily was to purify the turf, to inject more morality into the busi- ness of horse racing. While all will ad- nit that the turf will stand considera- ble elevation without attaining an altl- tude whose rarefied air will seriously af- feet the breathing of it's frequenters, it can easily be seen that these sporting gentlemen are confronted by gigantic job. They have not detailed the plan of purifcation, but those sanguine souls who imagine that 8 result of the meet ing will be that all races held under the auspices of the new jockey club from and after the present date, are to be opened with prayer and closed with benediction, will be doomed to bitter disappointment. Even a less radical change, however, will be gladly well comed by those who love sport for the sake of sport.

 Drugstore Humor. sT
 Drug clerks often derive amusement from the prescriptions that are left with them. A prescription whicf called for certain tablets, and which was written by a Chicago physician was put up in a downtown pharmacy the other day. The directions were as follows: "One tablet every two hours for five days, skip four days and com mence again." The pharmacist smiled when he wrote the label, and profes- sional etiquette alone prevented him from asking the customer, who weighed about 1SO pounds, if he thought he would survive after so much skipping Another prescription caused the pa tient himself to laugh when he read the doctors directions, which were: Flake fifteen drops one hour after eat ing in a little water" q don't eat in water" said the man, although I did chew an apple once when I was bath ing at Long Branch" Strangely spelt communications are often brought to the druggist. A woman handed a slip to clerk recently, and said: Gimme ten cents worth of that" The clerk read, ''Grocer's Supplement-" ''I guess you mean corrosive sublimate." he said, ''but that is poison, and we can't sell it to you" The woman went away after declaring that she wanted it to sskill boo0s with 5

STATEHOOD NOTICE.

Owing to the fact that the act admitting Arizona passed the house of representatives by very large majority, and the further fact that the senate is undoubtedly in favor of our early admission, we concluded that it was unneces- .sary to re- convene the statehood convention. This conclusion has been submitted to various of the committees of the convention and they have all concurred therein. We therefore announce that the meeting of the statehood convent )n that was to have been held on January Il, 1894, is indefinitely post pOned.
