Too Long in the Business.

One day, in Sixth avenue chop
house, well-dressed young man sit
ting at table not far from me finished
his lunch and asked for his check, but
as it was brought to him he suddenly
rose up and hurried to the cashiers
desk, which was near the door, and
said:
"Sir, have dropped $50 out of my
pocket in this place: Let no one go
until make a search.
'Where's your check?" he was
asked.
"Here it is. L had two twenties and
a $40 bill"
''Will you pay this check of $1.5O?"
asked the cashier.
81 can't till 1 find my roll" "
''Thomas, call in an officer"
"What fOr?" asked the victim.
''To arrest you if you don't pay.
That's an old game-tOO ancient to
work here"
"But have dropped $5O!"
"Guff! Will you pay?"
''I'll pay if L can find my money.
1 know had it when came in here. "
Call the copper, Toni
Two minutes later an officer hustled
| IN to see what was wanted. The cash
ier was telling him that he had dead
beat to be cared for, when a woman
rose to leave and the young mans $50
was found on the floor, where it had
covered by her skirts.
''Didn't 1 tell you SOP" he exclaimed,
as he returned to the cashier to pay
the check. "Nice sort of man you are
I'll sue you for damages before I'm
through with this"
The cashier looked tired but made
no reply. When the indignant yOuns
man had departed, said:
'"Then he wasn't beat, after ALP"
"The slickest kind" he replied.
''But he lost his money, and it wal
fOund?"
Don't you believe it! The woman
was his pal and gave it up only whel
she saw that he would be arrested

Scorching bicyclists who have paid
little attention to the small fines hith-
erto imposed upon them for breakneck
riding, will slacken their pace on learn
ing of a decision by the Court of Spec
ial Sessions, in New York, Wednesday.
A young man named Samuel Goldberg
was found guilty of scorching and fined
fifty dollars. The pleasure of humph-
ing ones self and skimming along the
avenues at a two-forty gait may be
worth the price of bicycle lantern or
two, but 'tis doubtful if it is worth the

SANTA TERESA.
she Is the Innocent CAuss ct Trouble ai
 N0galss.

NoEaIss.
 Santa Teresa, who is the innocent cause of the recent trouble at No gales, is a young Mexican woman about 25 years of age, quite beSuti ful according to the Mexican idea. Her long, heavy auburn hair and dreamy eyes give her distinguished sppearence. She IS quite intelligent, very modest and unassuming, and laughed heartily at the idea of be- ing called saint. She only claims to be a Christian healer, and her sole aim in life seems to be to cure the in6rmities of those who are afflicted. Her treatment is given grAtuitously, as she believes that to receive pay would destroy her power to heal. She seems to want but little of the worlds goods, and the young lady of divine power and her aged father, who generally re- mains with her, live from donations given by those who believe in her healing powers, and they are always we'll supplied.
 When l hSd the pleasure of visit ing this far famed young lady. she was living ID s tule hut about eigh- teen miles from Nogales, on the road leading toward Tucson, and was surrounded by many sdmirng friends and also many suffering patients, to whom she WAS, as usual giving gratuituous treatment. She chstted pleasantly in her own Ian. guage, and seemed to appreciate the mAgnanimity of the Americanos who allow her to remain in their country since she has been banished from her native home, which is a little town called Alamo Bonito. in Sonora, from which place she was escorted across the line at Nogales, on June z, 1892, by Mexican troops, and ordered not to return to Mexico. She seems to take much pleasure in obeying thlS order, which has given her so much fame.
 The action on the part of the Mexican government was caused by fear of rebellion among the Yaquis, a very powerful nation of Igdians, over whom Santa Teresa had ob- tained complete control on account of her healing powers, so much so that they regarded her as a super natural being and fairly worshipped her.
 Their recent action in attacking the town of Nogales, with such weak force show to what extent their fanaticism has carried them, and possibly, the end is not yet. However, the recent action of Presi- dent DiaZ, when he sent a deputa- ton to invite her to return to Mex leo, shows that he believes a mis- take has been made. The young lady very heroicslly spurued his 10 return so long as he president, and the situa- ton at present, with the Mexican Indians on the wsrpsth, coming into he United States in search of their 1 dol, is quite interesting.-Ex.

POLITICAL MURMURs

 The name of Judge Fall, the en- teTprising merchant of Congress, is finding some consideration m the political talk of the dSy as a desira- ble person for member of the board of supervisors on the republican ticket.
 A letter received at this office from Capt. W. H. Hardy conveys the information that Judge Hawk ins is much talked of in Maricopa county for delegate to congress. The captain will be in Kingman in about ten days.-Mohave Miner.
 On Monday night the silver peo- pie of the territory are invited to attend the mass meeting in this city. Marcus A. Smith, W. H. Barnes, Wiley E. Jones, J. C. Herndon, T. c. Norris and J. F. Wilson have been invited to speak on that occasion.- Phenix Gazette.
 Hon. A. E. Davis, at one time a representative in the territorial leg islature from this county, and for many years in the early days of the county, district attorney, is canvass ing Los Angeles county for the office of supervisor. Lon Davis many friends here wish him success.- Mohave Miner.
 The first gun in the campaign of county republicans Is sounded, and with 1t two prominent men of that party announce themselves for the offices they seek. The first is that of John s. Ross, for the office of sheriff. The candidacy is an i'm portant one, but no more So is it than is he entitled to the considera- ton of his party. Back of this gen tleman and his desires there isevery thing good to say and nothing bad to conceal. He is not an office hunter, neither IS be . politician of that character that every campaign m YSyApai sees staring its people m the face. Mr. Ross simply yields to the general sentiment of republi- cans in the county, and if chosen can be depended upon to make 8 strong and fearless fight, and we believe this Is the first time in a residence of over twenty years he has presented hIs name to go before the people for any office. The sec ond gentleman who submits his name Is that of e1-6overnor Tritle, for the office of recorder. There is back of the governor 8 clean cut and pure record for his party to look into. as we'll as the people generally to consider. He will probably be chosen, for in his aim to again serve the public, there is back of the sentiment which prompts bis an- nouucement, a feeling of pride in his short official career and that de- cree of gratitude winch republican, ism can never shake of in its princi- pies or regard. Both announce nents are excellent, and others should not hesitate, but come out and show their hand.
