New York. - There are men in the
morgue to whom death has become sadly
familiar, yet they have their fun, none
the less. 1t is fun Of a gruesome sort, to
be sure, but without 1t life would be I'M
bearable
The echo of their laughter rings back
In hollow mockery, as If the lifeless
bodies stored in tiers were enjoying the
joke. and this weird echo often checks
their jolllty.
Mr.. White, the keeper of the morgue,
has seen many queer things within that
gloomy chamber that would be rich ma
terial for the funny photographers.
Only a few weeks ago he was stand
ing on the pier outside the morgue, when
a small tug came putting up the river.
and made fast to the landing.
SCOT a stiff for YOU" laconically de-
clared the tug captain, leaning out of
the window Of the pilot house.
'AIl right" responded White, who at
once summoned his assistants and they
hoisted ashore the body Of a well-bult
young fellow that was towing astern Of
the tug.
Found him down the bay and made
fast to him." again volunteered the cap
tain, who seemed to expect some praise
White, who is so used to handling moth
ing but dead bodies that a new one only
means so much more work. So the lit
tie tug went steaming angrly away,
and the body was placed in an ice box.
Shortly after, deputy coroner appear
ed to view the remains and was just
about to WELD his instruments in be-
ginning an autopsy, when the corpse sat
up In the box inquiring calmly, what in
h is the matter? 1t is colder than a
cake Of ice here"
Deputy coroner, morgue keeper and as
sistants fell over one another in their
haste TO get away, and the corpse, as
badly frightened then as they were,
jumped up and started after them. He
only reached the office, where he sank in
a chair exhausted.
Whisky and other restoratives were
applied in liberal quantities, and the
resurrected one was soon able to be taken

morgue, and others whom he frightened
on the day of his resurrection.

most an unknown quantity to Jimmy
yet he recently managed to get as much
as he could carry by initiating Cockran's
example. He went to sleep on the string
piece one evening recently. and while in
that condition a wag began to tickle
his nose. He made several passes at the
fly, which, as he supposed. was anonying
him, and at last rolled off into the water.
When he was finally picked out he was
10 all intents and purposes dead.
They carried Jimmy into the morgue
and worked over him IN all the ways Iii
rected by the board Of health. Finally
he was pronounced dead by the doctors.

CABLE AGAINST TELEGRAPH.


George KEENAN, Tells How the Sue
cess of the Cable Affected Him.
Mr.. George KEENAN, writes story for
November st. Nicholas entitled, How
the Bad News Came to Siberia" Mr..
KEENAN, was engaged on the Russian over
land telegraph, and the bad news was
the announcement of the successful lay
ing of the Atlantic cable, which brought
his work to a sudden stop. Mr.. KEENAN,
says:
Early the next morning was awakened
by one of the Cossacks with the welcome
news that there was a square rugged YES
sci in the offing, five or six miles beyond
Matuga Island. l climbed hastily up the
bluff, and had no difficulty in making out
with glass the masts and sails of good
sized bark, evidently whaler. which. al
though hull down, was apparently cruis-
ing back and forth with light southerly
breeze across the gulf. We ate breakfast
hastily, put on our fur kukhlankas and
caps, and started in whaleboat under
oars for the ship, which was distant about
fifteen miles. Although the wind was
light and the sea comparatively smooth
1t was a hard tedious pull andswe did
not get alongside until after 10 o'clock
Pacing the quarterback, as we climbed on
board, was a good-looking ruddy-faced,
gray-haired man whom L took to be the
captain. He evidently thought, from our
outer fur dresses, that we were only a
party of natives come off to trade; and he
paid no attention whatever to us until I
walked aft and said Are you the cap
tain Of this park?"
At the first word of English he stopped
as If transfxed, stared at me for a mo-
ment in silence, and then exclaimed in
tone Of profound astonishment, "Welli
has the universal yankee got up here?"
Yes, captain" replied, "he is not onlv
here, but me has been here two years or
more. What bark is this?"

THE SOUTH A GOLCONDA.
Its Mountains TEEN with Precious

large mining company has just returned

through the south in the interests of his
organization, and, in speaking about the

tells this story of Amos J. Cummings, which he says was told to him by Amos himself. During the last cam paign Mr. Cummings tried to say as little about free silver as possible, though he was running for congress as a free silver man. Secure in the friendship of every policeman and let ter carrier in his district, he got on swimmingly till almost the very last speech he made. It was in a great hall, and he had large audience. He talked about national honor, and the flag, and the equality of man, and the rights of the masses with twist or two of the British lions tail by way of variety. It was great speech. Sud denly it was interrupted by man down in the front row. Tell us about l the ratio!'' he cried, and he pronounced the first syllable to rhyme with hash. MT. Cummings paused, perplexed. Just | then his eye caught the eye of an es- pecially frienly policeman. No words
 were exchanged, but an instant later the strong hand of the law descended
 on the collar of the enquiring man.
 He was yanked clear out of his seat
 and hustled to the door, ''rl have you
 understand said the policeman, as
 he jerked him down the aisle, that
 we'll have no such language used
 here"

 General Baratieri, who was in com mand of the Italian troops at the bat tie of Adawa, when about 1000 were taken prisoners by the Abyssinians, has broken one of his legs in the Ty- rol.
 Bishop Spaulding of Peoria, H., ar rived home on Wednesday from Flu rope. He said that rumors that he was to be appointed rector of the Cath olic University at Washington, to sue ceed Bishop Keane, were false.
 Jerome B. Uhl, the oldest actor in Chicago, died on Wednesday in that city. Twenty years ago MT. Uhl re- tired from the stage after long ca reer, during which he appeared with such men as Booth and Forrest. He was the first Thespian to go to Chicago and was a member of the McVicker company.
 Governor Holcomb of Nebraska re- echoes the assurances given by the l victorious silverites will not ruin the business and credit of the state by the passage of laws by which the value ot property would be endangered and the rights of people holding mortgages in fringed or violated.
 General Henry B. Darlington, on the retired list of the United States army in letter relating to the results of the presidential campaign, quotes the fol lowing as his exact language on June g, 1862, in an appeal to the people O Ohio, published by hin. in the Cincin nati Commercial: This is war O. the people, by the people and for tht people, and it will triumph The gen eral suggests that this sentiment wa: endorsed by high authority on another occasion; and the similarity is certain ly remarkable between his language and the words with which MT.

We direct attention to an article in another column written by Whitelaw Reid descriptive of Arizona as a winter resort We do not recall a more sat isfactory description of this sun kissed land. MT. Reid came here last year, remained five months and be- came thoroughly acquainted with the nature of Arizona's resources and ad- vantages. His views, made public at this time, when many wealthy people in the east are thinking of a suitable winter climate, cannot fail to increase the tide of travel in this direction. Ar izona is certain to be we'll advertised by those who, like MT. Reid, have found health and enjoyment here

THE REVENUE DEFICIENCY.

The report comes from Washington that Secretary Carlisle has not yet de- cided to admit that the deficiency of the revenue is responsible for the larger portion of the sales of bonds during the present administration. We'll, what difference can it make whether he admits the point or ig- nores ita The fact is there, all the same, and it has become SO plain that there is no possibility of disputing it's existence. Speaking roundly, one may say that two-thirds of the money received through the bond sales has been used by the treasury in meeting the deficiencies of the revenue, and in |redeeming the Pacific railway bonds as they fell due.
 If the revenues had been equal to the expenditures, sale of bonds to the amount of S50,000,000 would probably have sufficed for all the exigencies con- nected with the gold reserve, and, as- suredly, a sale of $1OO,O00,0O0 bonds would have furnished very ample provision for the maintenance of gold payments The effective work of bond sales in the protection of the reserve l is done through the contraction of the currency With a balanced revenue this contraction operates in full force but when the proceeds of the sales are paid out again for the expenditures oi the government, the contractive power is diminished in proportion. As re- gards the sales made by the present administration, two-thirds of the con traction has already been lost, and the remainder is steadily dwindling. From this point of view, an increase of rev
 enue is really and badly needed fol the protection of the gold reserve. II the present year nearly $40,000,000 O the contractive effect of the last bono
 sale has been annulled through tn, use of the proceeds to meet current in
 debtedness. This is grave condi tion of affairs and in all courtesy w
 suggest to MT Carlisle that it will b far safer to acknowledge it frank.
 than to shut his eyes to it's danger.

THE BOND QUESTION.

There has been a good deal said of late concerning the Prescott & Ari- zona Central railroad bonds. In some quarters the assertion has been made that the bonds should not be funded and paid unless the court of last resort shall leave no other course open. From our brief survey of the situation we are convinced that some of the people who are advising against the payment of the bonds are not we'll informed as to the merits of the controversy.
 | It is a matter of record that the peo- pie of Yavapai voted the bonds and paid the interest on them for several years. In the face of these facts it will be difficult to convince most peo- pie that anything short of the payment of the principal and interest will be honest. Some who are opposing the payment of these bonds are among the most earnest advocates of railroad eX- repudiation and railroad building to go hand in hand? It seems to us that the time has come when we should hear less of repudiation and more of plans for the good of the territory
 Arizona needs money to develop her magnificent resources. There are de- sirable mining and irrigation projects in this territory which will amount to
 nothing so long as capital shall be withheld from them. The money upon
 which Arizona depends is held in the east. The men who possess it are now

Certain newspapers that persist in exploiting Bryanism object to our con- tinued reference to the outcome of the campaign. According to the reasoning of these newspapers. it is perfectly proper to keep up the free silver agi- tation. but improper to refer to the overwhelming popular majority re- ceived by Mckinley. So long as the Bryanites continue their efforts to re- tard the wave of prosperity, so long shall we prod them in their tender spot. It's poor game that two cant play at

WORK FOR WHIPPLE.

We are glad that our recommenda
 tion in favor of a concerted movement
 in the interest of the rebuilding of
 Fort nipple on an enlarged scale has met with hearty responses in this city and in Prescott. Any person who
 has lived in the vicinity of a large army post knows what an advantage it is to the surrounding country. Fort Leavenworth is a good example. Many troops are quartered there and the ad- joining city of Leavenworth is bene- fited in various ways. The social life at the post is enjoyable, and the con- tracts for supplies are not without Whipple, Arizona generally would ben eft by it's enlargement. The producers of the Salt River valley especially would find their opportunities for profitable contracts increased. With thousand or more men stationed at l the fort large sum of money would be expended annually. Arizona would get the major portion of this What | if Prescott should receive the most good?

However much our sympathies may incline toward Cuba in her struggle for freedom, it is impossible not to ad- mire the patriotism of the Spaniards in coming forward and subscribing to the latest war loan to the extent of $118.000,000 The Spanish treasury is practically bankrupt Out of an an- nual expenditure of S15O O00, 900, s60,- 100000 is absorbed by interest on the national debt.

turning their eyes in this direction. They have heard of our rich possibili- ties and are bound to investigate them. Does any man imagine that a capital ist will walk blindly into new field? !? Will not he examine the conditions governing past and prospective in vestments? Is there a promoter of en- terprises in Arizona who can say that eastern holders of money do not look into the financial history of a terri tory in which they are invited to in vest? We say to the people of Yava- pal that an attempt at repudiation by them of debt entered into with open eyes will reflect upon the credit of the entire territory. Eastern people look upon Arizona as a whole. A single act of repudiation will do more to injure the chances of getting necessary money for development than any other agency. Capital will fight shy of state or territory which has lax sense of honor Better far for the peo- pie of Yavapai to acknowledge that in voting the bonds they got the big end of a bad bargain and stand up to it, than to declare their unwillingness to pay. Since the
 election the word ''repudiation" has
 become unpopular in this country Arizona, of all the political divisions can least afford to adopt it.
