Female College Commencement-Outlin

Female College Commencement-Outlin
 of the Baccalaureate Sermon.
 Tuskaloosa, May 25.-(Special 1.-The commencement exercises of the Tuska- loosa Female college were opened today with a sermon by the Rev. Henry D. Moore of Knoxville, Tenn. He took his text from Philippians iv, 8. Among other things the preacher said that what we are today is the result of our thinking in the past. Our thoughts gradually form our characters, for we have no other as- sociates so constantly with us. We all have our favorite lines of thinking, but if we give rein entirely to the themes which are pleasant to us we become mental dwarfs. Specialization of work is necessary, but carried too far 1t de- stroys manhood. The views of scientific men are in many instances of the earth, earthly Because they cannot see or rec ognize anything that Is not revealed by

the microscope orf' a chemical analysis, they see nothing but their own speciality. Favorable environment does not always make high thinking. Out of thes heart proceeds thought, whether it is good or evil. It is the heart that manifests it. self, in outward action. No book of seti- quette can teach genuine courtesy. Good form proceeds from a good heart.
 {Dr Moore's peroration, directed es- pecially to the young ladies of the grad uating class, was most eloquent and ap- propriate No summary of his very able discourse could give any adequate idea of it's excellence.

A VALUABLE MAN.

Tucson Citizen: The Star compI- ments Governor Franklin because of his determination to maintain Co.in Cameron at iah head of the livestock sanitary board, but mum's the word on Dr. Richmond. Colin Cameron is probably the most valuable man in the territory for the position he now occupies in which Governor Franklin insists he he shall be maintained. He was quick to discover the swine plague in the Salt River valley and urged i'm mediate action, but acting under the advise of Dr. Richmond, the veteri- marian, Governor Hughes refused ito act and $1OO,0OO will not cover the loss Governor FrakIn, however, was prompt to apply immediate measures and hope is entertained of the disease being stamBed out
 If Governor Franklin had been ap- pointed few months sooner it would have saved the hog owners of the Salt River valley at least S15O,000.

FAVOR THE PLAN.

The suggestion in these columns yesterday that the city construct and operate its own sewer system meets with general approval. And at the approaching election is good lbime to submit it to vote of the people.
 A good deal of the sickness at pres ent in the city is caused by bad and defective sewage; and on account of prohibitory rates many houses are not connected with the sewer at all.
 If the city would build a sewer sys- tenn it could compel all buildings ito connect with it at very reasonable price to the owners of the same.
 For both economical and sanitary reasons the city should own its sewer system. And now is the time ito build one. It can be constructed for very reasonable price.

A Crew of Deaf Mutes.

The schooner Mary and Belle is prob ably the only vessel in the world that is manned by crew that is deaf and dumb. The schooner is not a large vessel by any means, being about seventy feet long, but she is a neat looking craft and her decks, spars and rigging look in much better condition than those of many other vessels whose crews can speak the language to the queens taste. The captain of this craft, George Bennett, is most intel Igent-looking man, apparently fifty years old. He is alive to all that is go ing on around him and seems to enjoy his silent and speeches. life. The crew. Charlie Malone, is also deaf and dumb. These two deaf and dumb men. manage the stanch schooner Mary and Belle admirably. They are always on the lookout and sleep with one eye open, as good sailors always should. When they are caught in heavy squalls the captain cannot shriek out his commands but simply at tracts his mans attention by a whistle and then tells him what he wants by signs, while he sticks to the wheel.

 The Journal stated that there were but few of the mirrors in existence and they were evidently the remains of lost art. From lthis he infers that the X rays were originally discovered by the Chinese. All of which we do mot believe We do believe, however,

CONVICTED OF FRAUD.

The Republican does not know how t5hd telegram from the anjti-McKinley gang ito Clarkson came to be made public nor does it matter. But the fact fdhat fit was made public convicts the gang of political froud.
 Great pretenses had been made by them that they were for Mckinley and soue of them even now try ito claim it; but the fact remains that as soon as tffe deal had been made with Judge Kibbey by which the regularly elected delegates from Yavapai, Maricopa and Pima counties-a majority of the con- yention-Were disfranchised, a tele- gram flashed across the wires to Clarkson that the fight was won and iule Mckinley men beaten; and from that moment the Mckinley lead CTS were brazen and arrogant in the flush of victory.
 The bargain with Judge Kibbey de feated the will of nine-tenths Of the Republicans of the territory. But for trnately there are a. few things that corrupt politicians fail to do or neglect to do even when they have the ma cffinery and cash at their command. They forgot to organize the convention which they had purchased and they elected a chairman whose incompe- tancy under the umstances was his chief Tecommendation. He allowed the convention to adjourn in spite of the e,rrti-McKinley men, who discovered E,tm: and when 1he convention was finally organized delegates represent ing the party were elected to St. Louis.
 But this is no excuse for the, gang. They are against Mckinley and they m.srepresented the Republicans of Ar CZoQa. me NeleSrdu Wllhlcu uiley 6u unit was sent to Clarkson, conU.cts them of fraud and betrayal and proves tnsm to be tricksters and sharpers Looking only to their own selfish ends
 But the delegation ito St. Louis elect ed by the only organized convention composed of a large majority of ail the regularly elected delegates will ba seated because they are the regular delegates and because they represent the party And the anbi-McKinley men after the convention will, feel very chilly and lonesome.

Why all women are not beautiful and all men not strong may be hard to ex- plain; but it is not so hard to say why more men are not strong and more women not beautiful It is because they need to have their blood purified and invigoratd by the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla- good old medicine which not only has stood the test of half a century, but was alone consid- cred worthy of exhibition, by the Worlds Fair Commissioners, out of all the preparations purporting ito be blood purifiers and nerve tonics. It is a fact, we'll known to medical men and testified to by thousands that the effect of using this medicine is to i'm part strength ito the muscles, vigor to the mind, brightness to the eye, bril- aiance to the skin, and bloom to the cheek. What more can be desired? Ayers Sarsaparilla does this for oth- CTS, it will do so for you It does this by driving out of the veins and arteries every particle of diseased blood and filling them with a pure and vigorous circulation. This is the secret both of beauty and of health.

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE
 WORLDS FAIR.

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair. Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rllla is not patent medicine. It does not Belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on it's merits."

that when the Tartars pressed down from the north into what is known as China now, there WAS magnificent, civilized race there. John advanced with a pole on his shoulders, bundle on each end of the pole and a non cumulative smile on his face, and the lordly inhabitants said: Let the poor devi, alone" They began by doing the laundry work for Ithe people; then some of them got to be cooks and dish washers. They came in such mum bers that tIhere was enough of them to do all the inferior work of that world. Then the native boys and girls grew up and could find nothing to do because the Chinese usurped their places, and they wandered off west, probably into Persia or Chaldea. The men that owned the land were left behind and John worked for them. One after an other was sold out or died until those that remained could not bear the aw- ful loneliness. They sold out to John for what they could get and they, too, went west, and John possessed the country.
 It is very possible that that old race invented the famous mirror described above. Perhaps it was the same race that fused glass and gold in the old days, so that looking on one side of dhe substance it was pure glass, and on the other, it seemed like pure gold. But "a race does not lose its inventive faculty. Rather, that faculty is in creased the longer it exists
 The Chinaman of today does not show any symptoms of belonging to am inventive race He is an initiative as a monkey, but he has no attribute of mind which makes of him an in- ventor, outside of the fact that he can invent more excuses for being a rogue and then he can look more innocent and grieved when delivering his ex- cllses, than any other creature in all this world.

LOST AND FOUND.

Graham Guardian: Last Monday evening Waiter Barney left the cour'. room at So1omonville ito go to his home about "a mile and a half this side of the county seat. But next morning the news was taken to Solomonvil,e that he had not reached home. A search was immediately instituted, but failed ito reveal his whereabouts. It was thought that he had accidentally fallen into the Montezuma canal; the water was therefore turned out and the channel dragged, but his body was not found; then Watermaster Pace went to the Barney residence and soon became convinced that he was not in the canal, and then had the water turned back i'm again. After being lost about forty-eight hours MT. Bar ney suddenly turned up safe and sound in Solomonville. We have mot learned the cause of his disappearance or where he went to, but it is generally supposed that he was suddenly trans ferred to some higher sphere and then sent back again.
 Now that the weather has settled and the sun has began to shine in the old familiar way, the men folks are looking around for the proper kind of a shirt, one to counteract the weather. We'll, Alkire's have them already, hay ing taken time by the forelock and bought only for May delivery. In shirts as in everything else they got the latest and best going in eastern markets and of course bought them away down, knowing that even Ari- zonans appreciate that kind of prices. The shirts now being unpacked are just perfect gems in silk and megligee, latest colors and figures. They are we'll worth seeing and better worth buying and still better worth wearing Tn a climate like this where surplus clothing is not desirable during a good portion of the year, the necessity of the right kind of a shirt is apparent. Aikires can suit everyone just at pres ent in this particular article of cloth ing and the opportunity is one not ito be overlooked.
