BENJAMIN Durfce, through his attorney.
Edmund French. has filed bill in equity
against Georgel II. Siebel, joseph J. Nc
Nally. Edward d. Easton and Frank Dnian
to restrain and enioin them. and each of
them. from taking any steps toward dis
posing of or in any manner transferring
500 shares OF stock in the American II GraDho-
phone Company. Deposited with defendant
Siebel as collateral security for the pay
ment of n han.

THE PRESIDENTS RETURN.

Vague reports come sitting through the
Nnlurky atmosphere of the swamps of Cape
.Hattsras chappel, that the President will,
within day or two, order government
steam to be pM upon the government
steamer Violet that he may return at gov
ernment expense to the performance OF
those government duties for which he re-
ceivcs sniunifieent-iaily paI.
This Is cheering, news indeed. and yet one
cannot reflect upon it without a feeling OF
sympathy and regret that Mr.. Cleveland
must SO soon be divorced from his ruling
passion TO engage in bloody conflict with
fish and ducks to retucn TO the mGnotony OF
official life, and especially to contemplation
of such Insignificant things as letter of
the premier of Great Britain upon the SUBJ
Ject of an antique "Reminiscences called the
Monroe doctrine.
1t is a suLs stantial fact that no coun-
try in the world exacts so much OF its
chief officials as the United States. The
Prince OF Wales oscil!ates between Lon
don, Paris and Monte Carlo. King Leo
pold of Belgium finds Inspiration In the
atmosphere Ol lUe l-OuuoU anu L
coulisse. Each foreign ruler induiges his
personal fad and is encouraged 10 play
it to its utmost limit; but practical Amer
leans, ubaceasiomed TO the maintenance OF
idle, sportive and ornate officials, find
it difficult to convince themselves that
fishing ann >nuck shooting are worth fifty
thousand dollars year.
Apparently we are nation without SEN
timent. The shades OF Izaak Walton have
not hypnotized the Yankee impulse. Amer
leans haye not YET abandoned The convic-
ton that /; President is servant and not n
ruler. They do not stop 10 think that great
bodies move slowly and that Cleveland
must have time for reflection. and that he
thinks most when killing ducks or fish.
Bat cvelI duck shooting must have an end.
Slaughter must pail finally upon the most
bloodthirsty temperament. Mr.. Cleveland
VIII be with Congress very soon, and then
the Country wal-reaiiZe what an important
part tie assault, upon ducks plays in the
diplomatic economy of the most extraor-
dinary administration of government the
world has ever Witnessed.

stone in 1856 with contingent of the Sal
walton Army of Los Angeles. While there
he met disbeartened miner named Gatrell,
who had lost several thousand dollars in the
collapse of the Cocbise comfy bank. CAT
rell joined the army. but soon gave up the
contract of trying to save sinners in the
city of the graveyard name. He proposed
to Brother Donnelly 10 seek consolation in
the seciUSiOn of the Huacbuc3 raoge Of
mountains. These two men. with indomita-
be pluck pursued their daily search for
hidden treasure. until rewarded by finding
an aba ndoned mine which had been given
up by less persevcring prospectors. For
three years they worked together on their
claim. hauling little ore now and ibeu TO
Bisbee. After a short time they took in two
other deserters from active service in the
Salvation Army. The ore. which carried
rs per cent copper. was rich enough to ship

One of the wealthiest battalinns OF the
Salvation Army is 'Halielujah Camp" in
the mountains uc Arizona. This branch OF
Commander Booths forces consists of
thirty-five persons, eight ''uf whom are
women. There are several children there
also. The men work the copper Glance
Mine in a canon of the HuaChuca Noun
t;tins, about forty miles from Tombstone.
Each week Il ear load uf ore is shipped from

that check for $1,000 is. drawn on the
face OF the shipping receipt without the

With such an income it might naturally
be expected that the camp would be sup
piled with nearly all OF the comforts of life.
and il is, if the stories uf visitors To the
place are true. Members of the Salvat ton
Army do not insist on having as many COM
forts or luxuries Of life as do persons in
other walks IF life. but they spend their
money as they see fit, and doubtless it goes
wisely. ....

NO WONDER IT GROWS.
ElemenfS Which Have Contributed 10
the. Success of The Times

That The Times is above all other papers
tae newspaper of the people of the District
of Columbia is sgaiu demonstrated by the
remarkable increase of circulation during
the mast veei. shown in the attached state
meut. Advertisers who have during the
rast year made contracts with The Times
on the basis CT the circulation which IL
had at the time made, are continually reap
inc the benefits OF its steady and astound-
ing growth.
THERE are excellent reasons for thfs IN
crease il popularity which The Times has
enioved. Ii has continued to speak hon
estly, openly and fairly on every pubic
question lis dc.ractors and enemies are
only those whose selfish interests have been
attacked for the public good.
The cxpcrirG cnL absolutely unique In
journalism. Of publishing a sixteen page
paper in two parts for less than the price
of any other ore Washington newspaper has
b4eu a wonderful success. The news OF
the day is delivered fresh from the presses
and reaches readers within one 10 twelve
