CITY AND COUNTY,

At Tucson, one day last week MT. Frank Proctor had in his possession the ear of slaughtered beef. Mid way of the upper edge of the ear is horn. It is about one and half inches long by an inch broad, and has a cor rugated surface like that of deer. So far as known this is the first instance of the kind on record, in which such freak has occurred.
 Col. Robert Williams of Florence, concluded negotiations with pr. Good fellow for possession of the Cosmopo- Titan hotel at Tucson, which is now being thoroughly remodeled. The hotel will be modernized and will be thrown open in about two months. Property owners in that part of town believe that the reopening of the Cos mopolitan will have the effect of re- yiving real estate values on north Main and lower Pennington streets.
 The Citizens Building & Loan asso- citation, at Tucson, has during the past eighteen months paid out as fol- lows:
 For new homes and business
 houses. ..................... sl5, 200 To improve property. ... 3,140 Topurchase homes already built 2.9OO To satisfy mortgages and other
 claims. ................... 6,96O
 Total. ............... BPS, POO
 The Tucson Building & Loan asso- citation has about sl25, ,OOO out in loans, which have been expended in building new homes, business properties and improvements on buildings.
 At Tucson burglary was commit ted on a house on Mccormick street some time on Thursday night of last week. Two women living in a section of the streetin which almost anything is liable to happen went home at late hour and found that the house had been entered. A trunk had been broken open but the only article miss ing was worthless revolver which had been carefully wrapped up in a cloth. Some money and jewelry lying carelessly around had been singularly overlooked. The thief evidently thought the package he stole contained gold or else he had been frightened away before he had time to make a thorough examination of the premises.
 According to the Tucson Star two strangers, one of them professional base ball player late of Phoenix won a big slice at Congress hall one night last week. The players switched dice and craps were never thrown. The nearest approach had been Little Joe, dat little flock O deuces," Little Phoebe, 1" Big Liz," eight, nine, ten, leben, but never the fatal "seben. Nobody could have such luck as that and remain with his head above suspi. cion. The proprietor thumped one of the players and captured their dice. One dice had two aces and two sizes while the other had neither. Num- bers were so arranged that seven, twelve, two and three were mathema- tical imposibities.

a republican standpoint concerning ex-
listing conditions, and he expressed
them very freely. But then you must
understand that when public men are
thus conversing with newspaper men
on the basis of personal friendship it
is exceedingly improper to quote what
they say.

Pennsylvania avenue a great many peo-

so that he is constantly returning salu-

down the avenue.
Speaker Reed, who boards at the
Shoreham, which is within Il block of
the Normandie, where the vice presi-
dent resides. always walks down the
avenue to the capitol, and he overlook

Tenth street. He is a very large, heavy
man, and walks slowly. He is as bright
and entertaining in private conversa-

fairs and in the management of the
house. Among other things, he said:

respects this morning, and | presume

that the papers will have all sorts of
stories about "A conference between the
president and the speaker of the house.
They will probably say that M. Cleve-
land ard myself made arrangements
TO secure all manner of legislation.

walked with Speaker Reed to Peace
monument, where Pennsylvania avenue
runs southwark around the capitol, and
we there boarded cable car which
took us up TO the top of Capitol hill.
A great many of our public men walk
down Pennsylvania avenue and also
walk up the long marble staircase on
the terrace west of the capitol; but il
is pretty hard climb, and when it is
not desired it is much better to ride up
Capitol hill ON the cable cars. In the
car we found Congressman Joe Cannon,
of Illinois, chairman of the house COM
mittee on appropriations; Congress
man BouteIle, of Maine, chairman CT
the committee on naval affairs, and eN-
Speaker Crisp. OF Georgia. Attached
TO the rear of the cable-car train was

their letters 10 the city post office and
having them carried from there to the

said: "The robbers and thieves in

termined to enrich themselves and keep
the people poor. l will fight them as
long as | live. | wish you would read

After leaving Senator Stewart pro-
ceeded to the room of the senate com.
mittee on territories, of which commit
tee Senator Davis, of Minnesota. is
chairman, and there ] hung my coat
upon the hatrack and made myself per-
'nctly at home. Senator Davis sat at a
little desk which stood in the corner oil
ing to his stenographer. He merely
looked up and said good morning.
He went on with his dictation and |
went over to the room of the committee
of pensions. to see Senator Gallinger,
of New Hampshire, who is chairman
of that committee, and makes his head
quarters in that committeeman.
After transacting little business
there, coming out into the corridor
met Rev. DIR. Milburn, the blind chap
lin of he senate, who was being led by
his niece, a mild-Inannered little lady
who always accompanies him. To-
gether they go to the elevator every
day, ascend to the floor of the senate,
and then go to the room of the vice
hnx al he

Then. as the vice president arises to
enter the chamber and call the senate
to order, a little page boy comes and
takes the hand of the blind preacher
and leads him to the raised platform in
front of the desk of the presiding Off
GER Vice President Stevenson does not
ascend to his place, but, standing be
side the blind preacher, he takes the
little ivory gavel, raps once and says:
''I'he senate will be in order" Then,
bowling his head, while all the senators
and little page bows also bow, respect
full and reverent attention is given
while the holy man raises his sightless

AS soon as the chaplain's prayer was
concluded the secretary of the senate,
Gen. Cox, of North Carolina, proceeded
to read the journal of the preceding
day. When that was concluded sena-

and bills. This is done during what is

really it is between the hour of noon
and one o'clock p. N.

The story of Cinderella is substan-

Elan, is that while Rhodopis was bath

is occupied by the house of repre-
sentatives. When we got on the tle-
yator we found there Congressman Me
MILAN, of Tennessee; Congressman
Clark, of Iowa; Congressman Boatner,
of Louisiana, and Congressman Dal.ell,
of Pennsylvania. In fact, in every turn
of our meanderings we came upon
statesmen of every degree, all of them
nien of more than ordinary ability, and
many of them occupying places of great
distinction and honor at home MS well
as in the national capital.
Just few feet from the elevator is
the speakers room, and at its door sits
Neal, the colored man who has acted
as messenger for the speaker of the
house of representatives for the past 20
years. He arose and opened the door,
and Speaker Reed entered his special
apartment, turning as he did so, say
ing: Il bid you good morning, gentle
men," The door closed and the speaker
was thus safe from intrusion of any
kind. When he enters that room he
finds upon his desk from fifty to hun
dred and fifty letters, all of which have
been opened by the clerk and spread
cut upon the desk Tor perusal and con-
sideration. He picks up the letters one
by one, reads them, and then, without
raising his eyes, he begins to talk as
though he were answering the letters
10 the persons from whom the letters
are received. His stenographer sits on
the side of the desk opposite the
speaker, and rapidly takes down every
thing that Mr.. Reed says, including
addresses of letters. 1t usually takes
Speaker Reed about an hour to read and
answer these letters. BY the way, that
fact gives rise to the reflection how
changed are conditions during tile past
generation. The art of shorthand
writing has been SO perfected that ex-
perienced men can write down as rapid
ly as any mar cares to talk every SEN
tence, every word and every syllable
that is uttered. Only by the means OF
shorthand writing could public men

bled. On the way over there met Sen
ator Stewart, of Nevada, who is great
champion of the cause of free coinage
of silver. You do not know, and the
people throughout the country do not
know, but the people of Washington
are well aware of the fact that Senator
Stewart has become SO imbued with the
one idea of which he has taken posses
sion and which has taken possession Of
him, that all of his conversation is con
