Three or four years ago one of New

aristocratic quarter toward which the
tenement population is ever, ever ad-
vancing, began to notice on her daily

for with all the solicitude and tender
ness Of motherhood Inquiry showed
that the nurses and their charges come
from the homes Of the tenement districts,
where the real mothers were compelled
by the necessity of their labors to shift
part of the household burden upon those
of their children who were too young
to go out as wage earners. Hardship,
wrong, temptation, evil, lay behind the
not wholly unpleasant pictures. The
fathers and mothers Of these groups, it
could be supposed, were as well provided
for in life as could be expected, perhaps
as well as they deserved to be Or cared
to be- The infants were faring much

When an Elephant Is Crazy.

Some men of long experience of ele-
phant keeping say that the must" con-

and treatment, be averted; but, without
presuming to contradict those better in

vowels In tho Hawaiian Tongue.

The Hawaiian language is composed
mainly of vowels and few consonants
put in to vary the monotony. And the
beauty of the system is that there is no
waste. Every vowel is pronounced. For
instance, when the American eye winks
at the appearance of the simple word
''naauao," the glib native rolls out the
five syllables with neatness and dispatch.
This means "enighten." Double VOW
els are very frequent, hut never diph-
thong. Three vowels are not uncom-
mon, and, as above, four and sometimes
more are found unseparated by cOnso-
nants. In the mouth of the uneducated
native the language is apt to be explo-
sive, but the higher classes speak it with
afuent grace that surpasses the French
or the Italian. In sound it somewhat
resembles the general flow Of the con-
tinental European languages, for the
vowels all have the French quality, and
the accents are not dissimilar Wash

DIED IN THE MIGHT.
Matthias PotSch Found Cold
and Stiff Yesterday Morning.
A Mar. VIC Thought He Was of nc
Use to Himself or Others and
Might as Well Be Dead.

Matthias Potsch. an Austrian, was
found dead on a cot Yesterday morning
at Frank Kay ranch, nine miles north
west Of the city. A messenger came tc
Phoenix and informed Justice Kincaid
A coroner's jury was impaneled and a
visit was made to the ranch. The body
was brought to town and the INQUEST
was held IN the afternoon.
1t was developed that Petsch was an
Aus trian by birth, that he came to Ari-
z1na about TWO years ago from 60 one
knows where. He was suffering from
lung trouble. He lived with several
families IN the valley and became
pretty well known. Last Saturday he
went out to Kay's ranch and was en-
gagged as cock. On Friday night he
retired as usual to a cot under a tree
not far from the house. When Mr..
Kay went to awaken him yesterday
morning he found him cold and dead.
There was thought, not a suspicion,

but it was dispelled during the examin-
alton. One witness had heard Potsch
say that he was of no use to himself
or anybody else and might as we'll be
dead, but he had never said that he
intended to invite death. He never
kent morphine or opium. or any other
medicine but whisky about him. The
jury returned d verdict Of death from
natural causes.
The deceased has father and two
brothers living in Austria, but no rela-
tives in this country. So far as known
he had never written nor received a let
during his residence in Arizona.
Papers found among his effects
showed him to be an Odd Fellow, and

UNJUSTLY PUNISHED.
Pardon of Frank Howard, Sem
fenced for Perjury.


Frank Howard, a convict at Yuma
sent up from Pima county in July,
1898, for perjury, was pardoned yester-
day by Governor Hughes. The pardon
was RECOMMENDED by the board oil
prison commissioners and the applica
ton was seconded by most of the grand
and trial jurors in the case and by
nearly all other court officials of Pima
county.
Il ID shown that the appeal was dis
missed by the supreme court on an
alleged informality and that serious
errors alleged to have been committed
W. -. - I'd.
All the circumstances point to the
conclusion that Howard became vic
tim of INSTRUCTED justice. His trou BILE
grew out of his testimony in the case of
s. T.. Sparks, who was on trial for kill.
ing a COW which did not belong to him
The witness was arrested for perjury
If his testimony could be shown to be
true Sparks would be acquitted. 1t is
said that parties interested in a convic-
ton visited Howard in Jail and told
him that if he would confess to perjury
they would procure discontinuance OF
the proceedings against him. He re.
fused to do SO, saying that he would
undergo punishment rather than swear
away the freedom of an innocent man.

He was tried, convicted and sentenced
to three years.
Sparks was subsequently acquitted
OF the charge against him and
the testimony ON which he was
acquitted corroborated the testi-
mony for which Howard was sent to
the penitentiary. This testimony has
also been more strongly correborated
by the discovery Of new evidence so
that the governor remarks in issuing
the pardon: mo one can honestly say
that his testimony is not true"
