GOSPEL FOR THE INSANE.
Sabbath Services Have Been Started at
 the Territorial Asylum.

Religious services will hereafter be held at the territorial insane asylum every Sunday at o'clock, the public being invited to attend. Last Sun day was the first experiment of the kind tried by Dr. Hughes and probably the first known at the asylum since the inauguration of the institution. It was a success. Rev. Smith of the Baptist church preached, his address being short and impressive. It was evidently enjoyed by the patients, to whom benefit is also expected to come through the change in ideas thus stim- ulated. There are few religious cranks confined, and even these gave no trou- ble during the service All seemed to fully comprehend the sermon and ser vice, though a number were from the violent ward, and the way they all joined in the singing was edifying. "The singing" said one of the visit ors, was really excellent"
 T intend to continue these services Hughes to Republican reporter. ''They get the patients minds running into a different channel and are valu- able aids to cure. People generally do not appreciate, however, that only a few insane persons are continually insane. We have patients who will go along for days with no more indica- tion of insanity than college pro- lessor, and all of sudden they will be crossed by some associate and will break out as wild as a beast. There are different causes for these out breaks and such causes we try to sup press as much as possible It may be, as an associate of mine once said, that all men are insane, the only difference being in degree and that there are more of cranks without the walls than within"
 Mrs. s. D. Ross, the cocaine and morphine fend whose case was con- mented on at length in the Phoenix papers several months ago, was sent off last night from the asylum to her relatives in San Bernardino, Cal. She is entirely cured, and has not had a bit of the drug for weeks. Her fur ther course will be dependent upon herself alone. Her husband is still confined, but it is expected will soon be in condition for discharge

HAVING OVER PLACERS.
A Prayer That Alleges a Large
 Amount of Fraud.

In the northern part of Maricopa county, along the Hassay ampa, are many valuable placer gold deposits, in some cases worked for the past twen- ty years and still productive. The main trouble has been lack of water
 To remedy this several companies have
 been formed to pipe down the precious and essential fluid from points up the Hassayampa. Of these companies the famous Walnut Grove dam corpora tion will live longest in history. An other corporation is in trouble, how ever the evidences appearing yester- day in suit brought in the district court. t.''E
 The corporation affected is the San Domingo Placer company, the works of which were upon Santo Domingo creek, a tributary of the Hassayampa that debouches about half mile above the bridge crossing of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix.
 The suit is brought sby Edward s. Rapello, a resident of New York, and B. T. Cable, a resident of Illinois; and the defendants are the San Domingo Placer company and Wells H. Bates, Dewitt C. Bates, John Flint and s. E. Fuller. The company! it is alleged, March 3, 1894, became through pur- chase from one s. D. tEdmunds and others, the owner of certain valuable claims, that during 1895 three of the defendants constituted the active ma jority of the directors of the company and that they willfully neglected to protect the claims as required by United States law. On January 1, therefore, and through the instigation of such defendants, the claims were jumped by F. A. Tritle, W. w. Wander bilt, J. w. Wilson, D.. A. Burke, M. J. Hickey and C.. B.. Modem. There after such relocations, as shown by the records of Yavapai county, were by the relocators assigned to defendants, the intention being to defraud plain tiffs and the San Domingo company of their property.
 Defendants. it is alleged, were be- sought by the plaintiffs to act in their capacity of directors for the restitu- tion of the property to the company, failing in which the stockholders took it upon themselves to bring the matter to the attention of the court, praying that the relocation of January, 1896, be declared made for the benefit of the San Domingo company and that an order be made compelling s. B. Fuller, the assignee of the claims, to convey legally such claims to the said com Dany

Where Quail Are Plenty.

The effect Of the protection afford
ed quail in this State by the game and
fish commission and by Legislative
enactment has been to increase the
numbers of this game bird in a very
remarkable degree. Three seasons
ago the call of the quail vas seldom
heard in adjacent brush or timber, and
although there has been little respect
for the law in 50 re localities, the com.
bined action of the commission with
that of the sportsmen's clubs through
out the State has resulted in the in
crease of the quail beyond the most
sanguine hopes of its protectors.
There is evidence in the country all
about Lake Minnetonka, where in the
best days of quail shooting IN this
State, the birds were most plentiful,
that all immediate danger of extlnc-
ton of Bob White has become a thing
of the past. Repeatedly during the
last few months reports have reached
the Journal that immense numbers OF
quail have been seen in the vicinity OF
Waconia, the country Whereabouts be-
ing particularly favorable to these
birds. Even in a country where quail
are thick, it is not usual to put up
more than a couple of coveys in half
an hour, but last Sunday in an hours
ride along the Minneapolis and st.
Louis track, between Excelsior and
Victoria, no less than six coveys of
fifteen or twenty birds each were
flushed. -Minneapolis Journal.

Mirrors OF CeIiui0:d.

Superstitious persons who would
walk q mile rather than break a
mirror have for rejoicing. A
German genius has come to their res.
cue with q mirror which accurately
reflects every object, and yet has not
in it's composition an atom of glass.
He simply employs c~elluloid where
glass was heretofore used and has OBJ
tanned unlocked for results, which de-
monstrate the success of his invention.
A perfectly transparent, we'll polished
celluloid plate receives a backing OF
quicksilver, as does the reverse side OF
q mirror. Great care has to be taken
that the celluloid is absolutely devoid
of flaws, as a single defect would ruin
the mirror.
After the first plate has received Its
coating of quicksilver, another plate
similar in size and finish is fastened to
the back to protect the exposed plate.
The second piece of celluloid also
mirrors, so that practically a double
mirror is furnished.
The advantages are many. IL Is uu'
breakable, though, of course, not in
destructible, and could not be well
used to stir up a backward fire in the
CRATE. 1t is lighter and will wear
longer, and is infinitely cheaper. Good
mirror glass is expensive, but the in
ventor of the celluloid mirrors claims
that he can place them on the market
OF an astonishingly low figure.

Phenomena in the BAD LANDS.

The geological surveying party
which recently lett Vermillion, South
Dakota, under the direction of State
Geologist J. E. Todd, of South
Dakota, is sending back interesting
reports of its Investigations in the
bad lands near Hermosa, where it is
now carrying on its work. A careful
survey is being made of the dry lake
beds and valleys in that locality, the
geological formation of which is so
peculiar that even Professor Todd
confesses himself puzzled by il. An
other remarkable discovery of the ex-
ploring party is that Of a tract near
Pine Ridge, on which are numerous
dunes which appear to change their
location and appearance with every
movement of the wind.
Probably the most peculiar forma-
ton, however, to which the invest1ga'
tors have yet turned their attention ls
that of a hill some eighty feet high
| situated near the junction of Sand

Female Bird Dingy.

It is we'll known that female birds
are everywhere las a general rule) Of
adingy and inconspicuous hue con-
trasted with the brilliant-colored Or
namentation of their mates. The rea-
son seems to be pretty clear. The fe-
male bird is forced by its maternal
solicitude to spend a considerable por-
ton of it's time on the nest, engaged
in the important duties of rearing the
young. It is practically helpless dur
ing this Period, and were it conspicu-
Gus by its color and readily distin-
guished from the nest and its surround
ings, would fall an easy prey to
enemies. The best proof of this is
that where the male sits on the nest
and attends to the nursery it is he who
is dingy of hue and inconspicuous, and
the female who is brightly colored.
Even the g%orgeonsly tinted male wild
duck turns a dingy, decawhd reed

Marvel of Surgery.

A wonderful surgical operation
which prolonged a young mans life a
year has just become known at San
Diego, Cal. William H. Young, a
barber, aged thirty-six years, died a
few nights ago of aneurism of the
aorta. In plain English this means a
rupture of the great artery leading
from the heart. The artery was rup-
tured 80 as to allow the blood to dilate
the outer coat, forming a tumor filled
with blood, which ~obstructed %circula-

Young, who was a resident Of Den.
yer, consented to undergo an opera
ton about a year ago, which was novel
and interesting. He was placed upon
the table and his breast barred for the
knife. An electric battery of great
strength was at hand, provided with
gold wire of thread.like diameter. A
surgeon opened Young's breast, found
the tumor and inserted thirty inches
of gold wire in it and turned on the
electric current. The result was such
An intense heat that the blood in the
tumor was forced back into it's proper
channel. Young rallied and came to
San Diego for change of climate. He
suffered fatal relapse this week.
A. post norton examination was
made, and it was found that the coag-
ulated blood had entirely departed
from the tumor. Surgeons regard the
operation as wonderfully successful,

owner has baited the hook and cast it
