Jerome Kwata Jerome has in hif time played many parts. writes Fred erick Dolman in The Ladies Home Journal. lie has been railway clerk. an actor, newspaper report CT, schoolteaeher, Q shorthand writer and a solicitors clerk. Sur. prising as some of these changes of occupation must have been to his friends, probably none surprised those who knew him best so much as his latest change of all from the ease of literature to the hustle of journal ism. During that period of Mir. Jer- ome's life, when he was everything by turn and nothing long, it is to be feared that he was not always able to consult his own choice, for, when but lad.

4 Bond Decision.

PHGN1x, Nov. I3.-The Republi- can will publish tomorrow the substance of a recent decision by the Supreme Court of the United States, which invalidates the terri torial indebtedness, amounting to S750,OO0. The decision was in the case of Charles Edward Lewis vs. Pima county, to enforce the collec- ton of 2250 coupons attached to l50 bonds issued by the defendant county in 1888, under an act of the legislature of that year, directing the board of supervisors to issue bonds to the amount of $200.000 in favor of the Arizona Narrow Gauge Railroad. The legislature con- strued it's authority to enact such law in spite of the restriction which confined its appropriation of public money to the necessary adm nis- tration of its internal affairs"
 Suit was brought against the county three years ago, and a yer dict was rendered for the defend duty lAlc tiAoA lA0SCs O OuNSO 0AOAA' holding that the legislation creating bonds was special and contrary to the Harrison act. The United States Supreme Court takes no account of this view. but declares that the legislature was restricted by a clause which confines it to this species of legislation only in favor of improvements which facilitate the administration of internal affairs.
 The decision closes in the follow ing language: "We are compelled to hold that the bonds in question create no obligation against the county which a court of law can enforce" This decision affects an issue of S2O0.0O0 by Maricopa county in favor of the Maricopa X Phoenix railroad and an issue of $2500O0 by Yavapai county in favor of the now dsfunct Prescott & Arizona Central.

Tom Wallace, a young rancher we'll and favorably known in Flag staff, met with a most distressing accident last Friday. He horse was carefully picking his way down a precipitous ledge of the Coconino Basin, when the barrel of his gun, which hung in his belt, became sntangled in the undarbrush. The weapon was discharged and the ball struck the riders right leg, a little below the knee. Although suffering untold misery from the pain of the wound, Wallace pluckilY rode four miles before meeting one of Jerry Woodbridge's sheep herders. The latter made an impromptu bed on the ground for the injured man and hurried to his employers ranch, where he procured a wagon, in which Wallace was brought to the ranch. He was subsequently, brought to Flagstaff, and is now resting comfortably, under the care of pr. Cornish, at the house of R. Gibson. The leg was broken and badly splintered, but as the patient is young and hardy, he will pull through in good season.-Coconino Sun,
