The Churches of Arizona.

While Arzona's ratio of churches and adhrremts thereto does not com pare with those of older settled com mumitics, it must not be forgotten that but few years sInce ihis territory Was under the control of the Indian. and that a large part of the population has hut recently come and established homes, and that in q measure this population is not yet nodded and fixed to their new conditions. Nolwith- standing all this our church interests are making encouraging progress. There are more than 100 church cdi- fees, several demomina,ional, cduca- lional and other institutions, which evidences the fact that our people have brought with them from their homes the teachings and religious convictions of their fathers.

ARIZONA has a few newspapers that are given to publishing fakes, padding and the sensational news instead of publishing straightforward, clear. con densed news. Charles NJ Shortrdye of the San Francisco "Call" recently said: 1.-The press may he divided into what would term the legitimate and the illigilimate in journalism. We have, in various parts of the country, noble examples of the legimate news paper. By this l mean the straight forward, carefully edited, clean. con densed, thoughtful journal, which has mission, a purpose to perform, and g 'es about it with directness and d pre- cision of action calculated 10 arouse the admiration of all thoughtful men and women. In standardization to- this we have the faking, the padGed, the sensational and the premium-giv- ing newspaper. which furnished the example of what termed the illegili- mate. The legitimate newspaper strives to put value into it's pages and offers the same for sale upon it's merits. The other appeals to all the prcjudices and lower passions of the people, and in addition to it's cheap wares it offers cheap premiums as a means of gaining subscribers. :"

In 1893 the territorial legislature of Oklahoma appropriated &l0U,000 fol- advertising the resources of that sec tion. and since that date sl25, ,000 more has been expended in the same line. As q result the population of Okla h0ma has been increased in the mean time from SO.0O0 to PIT, ,000 inhabii- ants. If it pays to advertise the re- sources of country like Oklahoma, where they have nothing that is not in common with all their neighbors in the rain belt, how many more fold it should pay here in the land of per prtual sunshine, where the rarest fruits are the earliest in the country, where he country teens with herds of fat cattle and the mountains are filled to overilowing with the precious metals.
 Ariz ma is the fairest of the sub divisions in the west. and the people here should make mighty effort to let these facts go abroad rather than keep the light of intelligence hidden. With a little effort Arizona might be made to advance with an even .uore rapid tread than has her ambitious sister, Oklahoma, where the men of means z" down deep into their pockets to say, "Comc aud share with Us the bounliful gifts of nature.'

MUNICIPAL DISGRACE.
Only in Hoboken Could a Man
Like Griffen Escape So
Easily.

Fireman Stephen Griffin of Hoboken
demonstrated again last night that ne
is bigger man than his masters, the
Fire Commissioners. Although he plead
ed guilty to atrocious assault, petty lar
ceny and being drunk and disorderly,
the board, rather a majority of them,
bowed their heads as the slaves in Anti
Bellum days used to bow to the over
seers' whip, and kept him in the depart
ment. His only punishment was a fine
of twenty-five days pay. President Ben
der voted no. There is some question
as to whether Commissioners Kuper and
Lally, who voted to keep him in, are
not liable to prosecution for violating
the. law which provides that no. one

Griffin on the night. of May 80, went
to the fruit stand at First and Washing
ton streets, Hoboken, and helped himself
to several oranges for which he. refused
to pay the Italian woman who kept the
stand. She called on Special officer Muir
ply to compel Griffin to pay. Griffin. who
was considerably under the influence of
lia11or. 10y threw !. an orange peel at Murphy R
who is at least foot shorter and twen-
ty pounds lighter than Griffin, told him
pecially as he was in uniform.
ASSAULTED TWO POLICEMEN
The foreman became boisrerous and
laid hold of the little officer. The lat
ter then told Griffin that he was under
arrest and attempted to take him to the
station house, which was only across
the street. Griffin wrenehed his stick
away from him and began to club him
numerically. Some one ran to the sta
ton house for an officer, and Rounds
mand Hammond went to Murphys as
sistance. The Roundsman also got hit
in the attempt to arrest Griffin, and it
was only after a hard struggle that the
officers succeeded in getting the drunken
foreman lodged safely in Jail.
Next morning Recorder McDonough
held Griffin in $500 to await the action
of the Grand, Jury. Griffin was indicted
and during the latter part of June was
tried. While out ON bail he boasted that
his pull would pull him through. He
was only fined S. and COSTS He then
hoasted that it would be all right with
the Commissioners.

ACCUSED OF ARSON.
Three Queer Fires in Rrockfe.s
Rooms Lands Him in JafI.

On July & laSt f1re occurred in the
apartments of Joseph Brockie, alias Boil
inski, at No, 404 Adams street, Hobo
ken, which was said to have been caused
by the explosion of a lamp The fire de-
partnIent was called out and when the
firemen arrived they found small fires
in each one of the three rooms. The
flames were soon ext.nguished and the
damage did not amount to $25
Brockie was insured in the Toronto
Fire Insurance Company for s., 500, and
he offered to settle with the company
for $50. Adjuster S. C. Swartz visited
the house and when he examined the
premises he became suspicious that
Brockde had attempted to set the house
on nre. Swartz called upon Police Cap
tain Hayes and told the Captain of his
suspicious The Captain detailed Detec-
tive Nelson upon the case, and Nelson,
With the assistance of Acting Chief
Stanton of the fire department, paid a
visit to Brockie's rooms during the lat
terS absence and made a diagram of the
fires.
In the first place they discovered that
the, lamp had never exploded, but that
a hole had only been knocked in the
bottom. When lamps explode they in
Nariably leave a blacks mark ON the ceil-
ing directly over where they stood or
the slightest sign of a mark.
The lamp stood on a table in the centre
of the dining room. Six feet away was
a. bureau, behind which there was a fire
Five feet from the table was a closet in
which was a quantity of old dried wood
A fire had broken out there also. In
the Kitchen was another fire, and in the
bedroom, distance OF sixteen feet from
where the. lamp stood. behind a trunk
was the signs of another small fire
In the same room behind a sofa some
three feet away they. discovered where
came to the conclusion that even if the
lamp had exploded the burning oil could
never have gotten into the closet or the
bedroom.
Upon making these discoveries Desec-
tive Nelson had a warrant issued foI
and the accused incendiary was taken
into custody last night.
He was commltted for trial by Recorder
MCDonough this morning. Upon the
strength of the above facts the in

FOOL TREASURE SEEKERS.


CANANDAIGUA. n. Y, Aug. 81, 1885,
Two Elmira men are hunting for gold
ON the E. Smith fruit farm ON Seneca
Lake near Lodi. The first came to
Geneva and spent a week studying the
subject, and then left town with a divin-
ing rod and other essentials. They
claimed that a certain man. whose name
they decline to give, a few days before
his death, told how he helped rob a
Geneva hank forty-seven years ago of
$4,000. and further, how the money was
hidden in an iron box, inside of one of
the oaks and buried in a certain ra-
vine on the east shore of the lake. The
description tallies with the Lodi farm.
The searchers are at work turning over
the ground in the most likely places.
Several years ago a clairvoyant 80
Gated" a great fortune on this farm and
another party dug. for the same at
later date. They obtained naught. how
ever, but experience. There has been
no robbery of a Geneva bank at the
time mentioned. nor since, as far as
known.

TORIES FAVOR TURKS.
England VIII Not Help Queil the
Armenian Prosecutions.
Dy Cdble to the United Press

LONDON, Aug. Il, 1S95.-In the course
of the discussion of the Foreign Office
estimates in the House of Commons to-
day, James BrycA President of the
Board of Trade in the Rosebery Minis
try, said that the reforms which the
government asked to have instituted in
Armenia were the least that could re
accepted. The position of Christians
throughout the East. he declared. was
extremely per.lous.
Mr. T. G. Bowles. Conservative, de-
MED the existence of any obligation ON
the part of Great Britain to introduce
reforms IN Armenia. He complained al
length of the extraordinary change
which the policy of the Tory party had
undergone, declaring that it amounted
to reversal of the best traditions of
English policy.
Sir Ellis A. Bartlett. Conservative, ex-
pressed regret that the late government
had not taken action to save Japan
from coercion at the hands of France
and Russia Referring to the Armenian
agitation he described it as injurious and
unjustifable. The Turkish people, he
said were moderate, temperate and cour-
ageous.
Mr. T. NJ Healy. criticizing the speech
es of Messrs. Bartlett and Bowles, sar-
castically expressed regret at seeing di-
vision already in the ranks of the Con-
SeryatiVeS.
