tiful girls together, without single one VINO
could be called plain. They did not seem in
the least conscious of their beauty, and it was
real pleasure just to look at them AT the
school in the Mission Chapel, 1t is very dlf'
ferent, the children there are from the lowest
and poorest, and the faces, while not bad,
were certainly not pretty Tuesday morning
we took "coffee" at Mr.. Ladds at O'Clock.
This consisted OF oranges and other fruits
oatmeal, toast and coffee. ] went mp to the
Mission with Mr.. Montgomery and visited
the school there. l wish you could have
heard those waits sing. They sang "There
is a Happy Land" Wonderful Words OF
Life" and other hymns with vim and vigor
which our own Sunday Schools would do
we'll to initiate.
Al 10 o'clock Miss Smith came up and
took me through several of the poorer streets
of Barranquilla. The houses are of mud,
covered with thatch, many Of them in
tumble down condition, and the people nearly
naked, and oh, so dirty Other parts of the
city arc very pretty. Nearly all the houses
are one story, huilt of brick and plastered
inside and outside. The floors are of stone,
brick or cement. ceilings high, and the wholc
very pleasant and cool. The windows have
iron bars, like JAIL but no glass, and are
closed with solid wooden shutters. The
streets are of pure sand, anywhere from two
to six inches deep. There are palms aud
other tropical trees In the back yards, Qhe
houses are built right on tie s,reets) and as
they are much higher ,han the houses, the
effect from second story balcony Is very
pretty indeed.

THE GREAT HEAT-The great heat Of the
past two weeks, and the dry weather of the
.ast three, has paralyzed the energies OF the
people in many industrial pursuits Every
person has been trying to lie quiet and keep
cool. This has been found impossible. With
the thermometer 1907 in the shade, and the
sultry Sirius raging with pros'ratlng effect,
the mountains and the low lands perforated
with the rays of"oLD SOL" we feel like keel,
ing over and giving up the ghost.
A NICE PREsENT.-We are indebted to
Mr.. John II. Chew, of the firm cf Chew Il
Stocksdale for the present of basket full OF
splendid Carroll County peaches, raised on
his farm near Carrolton that county. These
were of a superior quality of sweet cling
stone, finely favored, juicy, and were eaten
with pleasure
We are informed that fine peaches grow
near Mechanicstown and vicinity but MS no
person as yet has sent us basket full, we
haye no means Of judging of their quality.

work that way now.]
A LUNAR RAINBOW appeared in the West
Tuesday evening about 8 O'Clock. 1t was An
exhibition of marvellous beauty. twas very
brilliant, the colors Of the prism being dis
tinctly seen. The moon was at its full and a
slight mist was falling. Along the western
horizon and reaching nearly to zenith lay a
heavy bank OF clouds. The rainbow was
thrown upon these dark clouds, making one
of the most grand and beautiful sights We
ever saw. 1t lasted about fifteen minutes
This summer has heen prolific of events
out of the common, such as hurricanes and
tornadoes, and it has given us many exhibi-
lions of the strange freaks Of lightning as
we'll IS remarkable auroras, but of them all,
the rainbow of Tuesday evening was the
rarest, most beautiful and most wonderful.

SAM JoNEs.-Many people understand
Sam Jones to be an ignorant man who makes
use of harsh and uncouth sayings because he
is untutored and natural in his discourses.
Nothing is further from the truth: Sam
Jones is an educated man, having fitted him
self for the practice of law and his mounte-
bank style is all assumed. He has adopted
it for the notoriety that it brings him and
when he INDUCES in the cheap slang Of the
day or when he transgresses the laws Of de.
cency he is no more pardonable therefor
than would be Revs G. A. w Whitmore, Z. G.
B. Castle, NJ. II. Courtney or M. F. Oerter.
Were any one of these men to use the Ian
guage in their pulpit next Sunday that Sam
Jones used last Sunday at the Emory Grove
Camp, he would be asked to resign, on the
grounds of having desecrated the Temple of
the Lord. The fact is that no one OF them
could be DIR ven or induced to indulge In such
language outside of the pulpit; on what
grounds then is any christian body ofpeople
justified in having them uttered from pulpit
Something should be conceded to good
taste in religion as in other matters and if
Sam Jones indulgence in slang and his
coupling of coarse jests with sacred words in
the same sentence is not vile IN the matter of
taste, our judgment is most decidedly off

A LONG JOURNEY
From Middle California to Middle
 Mexico by Wagon Train.

Now camped at the Fowler ranch west of the city is wagon train, the property of D. M Murphy, a well known San Jose, California, million aire, consisting of five wagons, loaded with household goods and eighty head of the finest class of mares, all of Nor man Percheron or Clydesdale blood. They arrived May "A, having accom- plished the distance of 900 miles from San Jose since March g. The way was entirely awheel, save for the ferriage across the Colorado river, and no mis- hap was had till the crossing of the Colorado desert in California The heat was terrific and fourteen head of horses, nine of them colts, succumbed to the heat and lack of water "At one time matters came to such a pass, D said one of the party, "that we ranged along the railroad track with the in- tention of stopping freight train and compelling a supply of water The outfit is under the charge of Jas. F. Reed, one of the old-time frontiersmen of California, and possibly the only surviving member of the Donner party. It is bound for Durango, Mexico, near which city, 600 miles south of Fl Paso, is located principality of 3,O00.0OO acres, the property of the Murphy fam fly, and where the owner proposes to establish himself in the near future. On the property, which is located well up in the mountains, is at least 300, 900 acres of magnificent timber and saw mill is cutting lumber for the res idence and other buildings, the timber awaiting the arrival of this outfit to haul it to the selected spot.
 The brand of the horses is familiar one in Phoenix It is a diamond A, and till lately was common in the val ley. Seventeen years ago the father of D. M. Murphy came through Phoenix bound for Durango, with herd of 5000 head of cattle and horses, with which he designed to stock his then newly ac- quired possession. The year was dry one and he left trail of cattle and horses behind him. The cattle all were of excellent blood, mainly Hol- stein and Devon, and from the cattle sold in Phoenix by the owner were several of the nearby ranges stocked. Murphy never reached Mexico with his great band, selling in Arizona all that did not die.
 Next year a similar drive will be made of Holstein cows and little doubt is expressed but that the long trip by way of this valley, will be made with entire success.

The Murphy outfit will stay several weeks longer. The horses, lean from their trip, are now all fat, many of them having gained 200 pounds on the alfalfa. The teamsters are patriotic lot and want to participate if there be any Fourth of July celebration in Phoenix. They can bring in a couple of decorated wagons, each drawn by twelve great mares that will run as high as 1,700 pounds weight, one team of matched blacks and the other of bright grays. With the stimulus of their California enthusiasm it is prob able that something more substantial than bicycle races and a militia parade will mark the Fourth.

of Arizona and the choice of the masses of the territory for the nomination but it cannot be disguised that the plat form and the utterances for gold at the convention much dampened the local enthusiasm.
 Rev. Preston Mckinney, pastor of the Presbyterian congregation of Phoe- nix, a few days ago had conferred upon him the honorary degree of doctor of divinity, the honor being from the fac ulty of Hanover college, Indiana, he being a graduate of that school. It is believed that Dr. Mckinney is now the only D. D. in Arizona and news of the distinction has been received by his congregation with the sincerest pleas ure.
 $. D. Ross and wife, who were given a chance for reformation from their overindulgence in cocaine and nor phine, were yesterday again arrested and in the afternoon were committed to the insane asylum. Ross states that he was tor three months an inmate of the California insane asylum at San Bernardino, and that for four months after his release, cured, he did not touch the drug Both are aware of their awful state, but are unable to quit.
 A negro is now reposing in the tank at the county jail on charge of burg lary and held by John Doe warrant. He lives near Tempe and in his house were found number of articles stolen from various houses and especially an assortment of hardware, taken several months ago, from the Arizona Hard ware company at Tempe. Among the spoil was a box of Du-sock, the tire healing compound, stolen about the same time from Ziba Brown in Phoe- nix. The fellow will probably have his examination today.
 The hot weather seems to stimulate the Good Templars to activity instead of causing them to relax their efforts From one to three members are added at each meeting, and the attendance ranges from forty to sixty. On next Monday night after lodge, ice cream will be served in the hall. The ladies will each bring a necktie which will be placed in sealed envelope, she wearing a bow of the same material. The gentlemen will then pay 10 cents for one of the envelopes and thus se- cure a partner for the evening, with whom to feast on ice cream and cake The money realized from these enter tainments will be used to buy a piano for the lodge or else carpet for the hall
 There was activity yesterday in the executive appointment mill. Beside the appointment of T. D. Parish to be territorial treasurer, the governor took turn in the militia. On the retire. ment of Governor Hughes the govern OTIS personal staff went out of place with their chief. To fill a number of the numerous vacancies yesterday were selected: To be judge advocate gen. eral with the rank of colonel, Frank Cox; to be aide-de-camp, with the rank of lieutenant-oolonel, Prosper P. Parker; to be paymaster general with the rank of colonel, Byron M Jacobs; to be inspector of small arms practice with the rank of major, H. F. Robin son. Colonel Parker is a Grand Army man, resident of Phoenix and most popular; Colonel Jacobs is the Tucson banker; Major Robinson is reappointed to the post he has so long filled with high credit to himself and with benefit to the service.

EARLY CLOSING.

All or nearly all of the Phoenix grocerymen now close their stores at ' p. m., while with perhaps one excep- tion, all other business houses keep open as late as ever, although all claim willingness to close at or earlier if someone will make the start. Hor- ace Greedy said the way to resume specie payments was to resume. Let this principle be tried with the early closing movement.
