MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

Talk about the curiosity OF
women, they are not in it with the
man whose nose is an interroga-
ton point. Such man can give a
New England sewing society points
every day in the year. Heis born
to ask questions as the sparks are
born to fly upward, and the masher
to get into trouble when he makes
. break at the wrong woman, mis-
taking for fiirt the member Of an
athletic club. Somehow it Is ex-
pected that a woman will ask ques.
tions, but q male interrogation
point Is the meanest and the nasti-
est and the most disagreeable thing
in the whole human menagerie. 1t
is to point out the evils OF such a
character and to suggest correct
ives that this discourse is addressed
to the LIGHT congregation this hot
Sunday morning, a morning so hot
that it ought to be a relief to do
nothing, not even to mind the bust
ness of your neighbor.
IfitIbe true that to everything
there is q purpose and time un-
der the sun, then it is true that
there lie a time in which to mind
your own business. This is the
first duty, for it is the nearer home.
It will be time enough to mind the
business Of your neighbor after
your own is attended to. II you

is no sign that you oEsht to attend

JOHN DAVIS, COLORED.
Two Ugly Stories Told About
 Him.
He Claims to Have Had WhItecap Notice and He is in Jail for
 Safe Keeping.

John Davis, colored individual, finds himself in the county jail with a serious charge booked against him. that of threatening to murder young girl named Susie Pool and of afterward making an indecent proposal to her.
 Davis had been arrested the evening before and locked up. The charge was dismissed yesterday morning and he was rearrested. He was arraigned later n the day end his examination was postponed until next Monday on account of the inability of District Attorney Millay to be present before that time. He was put under a bond of $1 ,OOO, which he could not furnish.
 The commission of the offense charged against him might not have gotten him into jail. His incarceration is due directly to the pU blicity he him. self gave to the affair.
 On Thursday he went before Justice Johnstone with document torn into a score of pieces and said it was mys ferrous order directing him to leave

Story of His FriendlineSS
 to Restoration
Laughed at in Diplomatic Cir
 cleS at Washington.
The Report Had It's Origin Two Months Ago in a Rumor From
 the Island Of Maui.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON, May 17.-The story coming from San Francisco as to Min ister Lorin A. ThIrston being in favor of the restoration of the Hawaiian monarchy, although given out as ema- hating from "private information re- ceived at San FrancIsco.' is not new in Washington. as similar story came in the mail advices ten days ago and was regarded as canard.
 The Honolulu Adve rtiser of about a month ago had letter from the Island of Maui, one of the Hawaiian group, in which It was mentioned that a report had got abroad among the natives that Thurston was for the restoration of the ex-queen. The Advertiser dismissed the report in two lines.
 When it came to the attention of the oficiale here they regarded it as joke and one of them said that the intelli- gence and information prevailing among the natives of Maui was such that they would accept es true report that Thurston had married Queen Victoria.
 The story now reappears as private advices although the officials recoe nize ear marks of the old story from Maui.

YAVAPAI COUNTY.
The Big Fourth of July al
 Prescott.
Property In Ash Fork Commands a Coed Price-The Water War
 Still Continues.

From the Prescott Courier.
 Wm. Bunte and Miss Mary Ferguson were married last evening at the resi-. dence of the brides parents in Prescott. Both are most excellent young people who have the best wishes of all Pres colt in their new departure. The Courier people were remem bered with large chunks of wedding cake and other good things.
 The fact that town the size of Pres colt has raised $5,000 by private sub scriptioh in three days for Fourth of July celebration speaks well for Pres. colt. Most of this money was volun- tarily subscri bed in few hours from the time the committee started out. Nothing now remains but the arrange ment of the program, apportionment of prizes and preparation to receive and entertain visitors.
 At probate sale at the court house yesterday there was some lively bid ding on an unimproved Ash Fork lot having frontage of twenty-five feet The lot was finally knocked down to W. E. Hazeltine for $475 which shows that city lots in Ash Fork are fairly good property. The lot belonged to the estate of the late H. c. Casey. A piece of Prescott property situated in the lately flooded district was knocked down at low figure. W.J. Mulvenon was the auctioneer.
 1 Prescott's water war may be now said to be we'll on, and those opposed to the lease ordinance will fight same in the courts. The gentlemen who have taker the lease in good faith, will, without doubt, hold up their end of the matter The whole affair seems to hang on the powers of a city council in such mat ters, and the opposition will attempt tC show that Prescott's city council has exceeded it's legal authority in the
 premises.

ASYLUM IMPROVEMENTS.
Preparations for Letting the
 Work by Contract.
Purchase of Tract of Land to Be Used as Dumping Ground
 for the Sewage.

The board of control was in session yesterday in the matter of the pro- posed Improvements at the asylum. It was resolved to let all parts of the work by contract and the board will at once ask for bids for the construction of the verandas. Architect Heinlein went out yesterday to the asylum to prepare plans and specifications for bids on the plumbing contract.
 The board has decided that by the employment of asylum labor the cost of the foundation for the new structure may be reduced below the estimate by about $1 ,0Oo.
 The question of sewage has also been solved. It had been decided to con struct sewer to the river but so many objections were received from persons living below the proposed point of de posit that the board set about the con sideraton of other plans. It has now decided to buy twenty acres Of land in the vicinity of the asylum and use il as dump for the sewage.
 The cost of the land and itt reparation will be considerably less than that of 6 sewer. The land will also be used as garden for the growth of produce and fruits for the i institution. This plan offers another advantage. The soil of the asylum farm is of decided adobe and unpro ductlve whereas the land upon whicE the board has secured call is rich and capable of raising all the produce re qulred by the institution.

ON TIP TOE. The Public with Respect to the Grand jury. A Final Report is Ex-
 pected Today. Patricio Morales Easily Con-
 victed of Rape.
Other Verdicts on the Criminal Side Yesterday-The Trial of B,
 A. Hadsell Today.

The grand jury of the May term of district court is expected to conclude it's labors today after continuous ses- sion of nearly two weeks. A report was anxiously looked for yesterday but nothing came except the announcement that the usual investigation of the county officers and buildings would be taken up and that whatever had been found or had not been found would be included in final report to be sub. mitted this afternoon. There are three or four subjects in which more than that many persons are interested Said g lawyer Something will happen tomorrow. The jury has been setting three days. There has been sus picious quietude and there will be a hatching."
 The body has been unusually discreet and the doors of the new grand jury room ave been so architectually con structed that there has been no leak.
 Three cases were tried and decided in district court. One of them was the next most important on the crimina calendar, that of Patricio Leon indicted as PatrIcio Morales for rape. The crime was committed near Tempe less than two weeks ago. The victim was Ra mona Garcia, who testified that the crime was accomplished by threat o death and with th2 point of a knife al her breast.s She positively identified the prisoner ss her assailant.
 Leon said it was case of mistaken identity, but he could offer nothing in support Of his statement. Against 1t, too, as the fact that the assailant was traced directly from the scene of the crime to the place where he himself was found and arrested.
 Carlos Aldai, indicted for assault with deadly weapon, was convicted o aggravated assault.
 Juan Valenzaela, similarly indicted was acquitted by the instruction of the court. He was defended by Messrs Evans and Flannigan and owes his freedom to technicality and the laws of Arizona, which construe an assault to be an action and not an expressed pur pose. It was shown that he had gone into the saloon of Harry Bernard o Tempe and had said he was going to cut his heart out. He also displayed g knife, but before he could use it he was disarmed. Bernard, who was on one ! side of the bar with Valenzuela, on the other was, according to law. in danger at nc time. However much MT. Der nard may have been aggrieved by th' result of the trial, he must admire th' consistency of the court. He himsel was released upon the same theory les than month ago on a writ of habea corpus.
 The case of B. 4. Hadsell, indicted for incest, is set for today. The gravit, of the accusation and the prominenc ) of the defendant make it by far tn most interesting case of the session ant one of the most interesting crimina cases tried in this district within recent years.

PHGNIX BASE BALL.
Reorganization and Strengthening
 of the Club.

Reorganization and Strengthening
 of the Club.
 The base ball season has commenced in Phoenix. After several meetings a club has been organized and active practice has begun. The first game will be played at Fort Whipple on Decoration Day. The Phenix team has been so thoroughly reorganized that the names Of only four of the old players appear in the list. The new members are all proficient players, having acquired skill on college teams or in eastern clubs. Phoenix sports believe the reconstructed team will outclsss any other the territory and it has appropriately taken the quickest way to prove it, for the Whipple team has long been regarded as the cham pion.
 The names and positions oi the Phoe. nix club players are, 6. ". Stewart, third base and catcher; Wm c. Mar. tin, third and catcher; L. B. Street, pitcher; Harry Pinnev, first base; Smith Sutton, second Porter Fleming, shortstop; Lowell, right field: Harry Reynolds. center; Carl Grof, left; :; Warren McVey and Andy Homap, substitutes. The box work of Street has been the feature of the Phoenix team, but he has never been able to secure proper support. With Stewart or Martin behind the plate the battery of the team becomes its strongest point.

 "John Davis-We only give you 24 hours to get out of Phoenix, and if you don't go your neck will stretch hemp Sworn to by 20 men,"
 The document was unsigned. Davis said he found it in an envelope at the place where he was at work. He saw no one leave it, but he wanted war. young lady who subsequently, made complaint against him.
 The justice declined to issue the war rant. Davis volubilit concerning the causes which he said had probably led to his notification to emigrate, created 8 suspicion that he only wanted to gain notoriety and it seemed possible that he had written the warning note to him. self. He called on the district attorney who did not encourage him in the pros ecution.
 The story related by the complainant against Davis IS as follows: On Tues day afternoon she left the place where she was at work to go to adressmaker's. On her way she was overtaken by Davis who persisted in accompanying her. This familiarity by the way found ex. cuse in the circumstance that both were working at the same place and that he had taught her to ride bicycle. Arriving at the house of the dressmaker Davis accompanied the complainant in- side and waited for her in an adjoining room. After transscting her business at the dressmaker's she hesitated to leave having become alarmed by the conduct of Davis. He finally grew tired of waiting and said, Well, come on." ''I'm not going with you," she replied. "Yes you are" he said Tor your dead body will lay here on this foor." Though intimidated by the threat she still refused to accompany him. He seized her by the arm and dragged her in spite of her struggles | from the house to the sidewalk and along the street.
 It was here that he made the inde- cent proposal. The girl at last managed to break away from him and returned to the house of her employer. She did not visit her own home and she told no one of her misadventure with Davis. That came out later. The girls father learned on Thursday night of OdflS dttGIupG u pTUCuIo ulb dII ICoG. He called at the place where his daugh- ter works and for the first time heard of the negro's conduct. He then made com plant against him. That night as he was returning home from neigh bor's he met colored man in the road near his house. He was holding re. volver ia his right hand. MT. Pool went into the house and the colored man turned back, entered the yard and walked around the house. Mir. Pool believes this was Davis, that he was looking for him, but failed to rec ognize him until he turned into the l house.
 Before going before Justice Johnstone with the scraps of paper Davis met Justice Kincaid on the street. He showed the paper to him and said some one was trying to run him out of town. He wanted legal protection, but in the event of a failure to get it he said he would not be in hurry about leaving. In his other hand he had something wrapped in newspaper One end of the package was open and the justice saw the muzzle of six shooter.
