THOUGHT A SNAKE BIT HIM.
Vivid Imagination of an Eastern Man In
Arizona.


A piano polisher for the Phoenix Mu-
sic company knows what it is to have
a vivid imagination. He recently ar
rived in this city and brought with
him exaggerated ideas of the kind and
character of Arizona reptiles.
Recently he was seated on the floor
polishing a piano front, when sudden
ly other persons in the room were
startled by screams from the rear of
the room where he was at work. Man
ager Zcigenfuss ran TO him and found
him pale and trembling, clutching his
leg. It's a snake" he gasped; its
run up my trousers leg. My God, it's
biting me!'
NJ Zeigenfuss told the victim to hang
on to it, and, after several attempts
to reach ii from below and drag ii out,
he cut a slit in the afflicted mans trou-
sers directly over the place where the
snake was supposed to be. No snake
was found, bu. there was found part
of the mans undergarments. which
had fallen down, forming role which
might be construed to resemble a
snake in diameter.
That's all right" said the polisher,
greatly relieved. you needn't cut any
more; you see I'd been thinkin' about
snakes and watchin' that son of a
gun that's been around on the streets
havin' them rattlesnakes bite him I'm
all right now, thank you."-Phoenix

A Royal Celebration.

II would take more space than is
commonly set apart for comment in "A
newspapers columns to tell. even in
briefest outlines, of the transforma-
ton that England has witnessed since
n June day. fifty-eight years ago, when,
in London. the young daughter of the
Duke of Kent was proclaimed queen.
Yesterday. with customary rejoicings,
the great city of London celebrated the
queens birthday. Not many of these
anniversaries are left to this august
woman. She is seventy-six years old.
For her the shadows deepen. Queen
Victoria's birthdays will soon be me-
mortal days.
The queen is the granddaughter Of
George the Third and the niece of Will
lam the Third. The Duke of Kent. her
father, the fourth OF seven dissipated
sons born to George the Third, died
during Victoria's infancy. and his inn
poverished estate lacked much of fur
nishing money enough to pay his
debts. She was of age in May, 1897; a
month later she was crowned. Russia
has had four sovereigns since then.
France has been, in turn. constitu-
tional monarchy. an empire and re-
public. Three kings of Prussia and
three emperors of Germany have had
the eye of the world since the queens
GROWING. In her time the map of
Italy has been made new and the house
of Hapsburg has reached Its decadence.
She has seen the Bourbons driven
| from the throne OF Spain and then re-
| stored. Martin Van Buren,, dead a
third of century. was president of
the United States when the coronation
of the queen occurred. Her eldest son
was well through the years Of his boy
hood before Englands premier of to-
| day was born.
In England itself the changes that
have taken place during these years
are hardly less eventful than those
which the rest of the world has wit

| Queen Victoria has firmly held her
| place in the affections of Great
Britain's subjects. When she was hft-
ed TO the throne her youth appealed 10
popular sympathy. The good sense
that marked her later years, the un-
doubted chastity Of her private life and
the dignity that has distinguished her
declining days caused her at first to be
looked upon with respect and then to
be regarded with a feeling which has
come at length to be, among her sub
jects, a sentiment which is nothing less
| than generation.

The North Western Railroad company
has sent out the following notice from
Chicago in regard to the payment OF
employees:
EThis is.to advise yon that the com
pany will pay its rolls by checks on Chi
cago banks instead oI currency, as here

this: 1t is no longer possible TO guard
the company when paying in cur. ancy.
The use OF dynamite and other expIos-
ives and murdcrous rocklcssness OF train
robbers are constant menace. Pay
ment in currency not only involves the
loss OF money, which we cannot afford,
but cndangers the life OF everybody con
nected with the pay department. Other
railroads long age abandoned the prac-
tice Of paying In currency. We have
continued il Mt great risk becouse we

An Opinion Of Interest to Those Who contem-
plate the Purchase Of Tax Titles.

An Opinion Of Interest to Those Who contcm-
plate the Purchase Of Tax Titles.
As the day OF sale Of lands delinquent
for taxes in Iron county draws near, IL
may be profitable for those contemplate
inc the purchase Of tax titles to know
that Attorney-Genernl Maynard has
given Audiior-General Turner an Inn
portant opinion relative to the latter's
authority 20 refund money paid for tax
titles under certain circumstances. It
appcars that John Trelevan, of Algcr
county. purchased certain lands for de-
linquent taxes for the years 1887 and
1883, and received tax deed 10 the
property signed by the auditor general
The lands SO purchased were in posses
sion OF the Onota Charcoal company,
and after purchasing tho tax title Trc-
levan commenced an action IN noicctmcnt,
but the Judgment OF the court went
against him. Telcvan's claim for the
return OF his money was based on sec
tion 73 oi act 20G OF the public acts OF
1S93 which says: III a sale nude under
this act is set aside by any court, the
auditor-general shall refund to the pur-
chaser the amount paid at the time Of
the sale. out OF the general fund OF the
state"
Attorney-Genern Maynard declares
the meaning and intent OF that part OF
section 73 is that the sale must be set
aside by court in Il case brought solely
for that purpose. In the action for
ejectment the judgment docs not refer in
terms to any particular origin OF title.
IL simply finds the person not entitled
TO a right in the lands. No one can tell
from the judgment whether either party
relies ON a tax title, and "a single iudg-
ment in ejectment is not necessarily tinal
for any purpose. The auditor-general,
the opinion says, can act only in accord
ance with positive law, and cannot re-
fund any moneys upon the iailure OF tax
titles, except as some statute requires
it. lie insists that judgment in eject
ment does not set aside n tax sale, and
that the auditorgcneral cannot lawfully
refund.
The opinion will control the action Of
the nuditor-gencral in a number OF SINH
lar cases which are constantly arising.
The question il often asked, "How
long after property is sold for non-pay-
ment OF taxes. before the state gives the
purchaser a title that will stand against
the owners deed or title?" The answer
is one year. After the sale the owner
has one year in which To redeem his
property. II he docs not redeem II in
one year, then the purchaser gets title
from the state, which Is good against
any other title for whatever title the
deed calls for, provided always the pro-
ceedings in the case have been regular.
The owner must then make the best
terms he can with the tax title holder II
he wants TO get back his property.

New Gas Lamp.

According to the Engineer, a
French physicist, M. Denayrouze,
claims to have discovered a means
of increasing the Illuminating
power of gas about 10 times. In
his lamp M. Densyrouze employs
a spherical.shaped metallic body,
and a mantle capable Of being
raised to incandesence. In the
body of the lamp is fixed a tiny
motor, which works ventilator,
and which receives current from
a couple of small accumulators.
The electrical energy required is
said to be only 1 volt and lilo OF
an ampere, and to be sufficient to
force a current Of air through the
mantle and to cause the gas to
burn with remarkable brilliancy.
The burner is said to consume
seven litres of gas per carcel, and
lamps have been made having an
Illuminating power Of S00.candle
power.
