DEATH BY IMAGINATION.
Instances In Which the Prick of a Pin
Was Followed by Fatal Results.
From the NNa In rtnr, Ctnr


From the Washington Star.
In my opinion" remarked the col
lege professor. who rose from the ranks
during the last war to the position of
colonel, "the Imagination of men does
more injury to the cause of courage
than all the applications of war yet
discovered. In other words, If a man
didn't think he wouldn't be afraid OF
anything. l had a remarkable case
happen to me during the battles around
Richmond. That is to say. 1t happen
ed to another man, but / was part of
1t. 1t was on a skirmish line and / was
lying behind log with two other men
I was only private then-one OF
whom was an inveterate joker, and the
other was one of the imaginative kind
of soldiers. In fact, he was so imagin-
alive he was almost scared out of
his wits, and when the bullets and
shells began flying through the woods,
cutting off saplings. slipping limbs all
around US and barking the top of the
log behind which we lay, l thought the
fellow would burst a blood vessel or
go crazy, or do some other fool thing
unbecoming a soldier. Tom. the joker,
noticed the mans terror and called my
attention to II.
Then he reached out and dragged in
a stick cut from the tree above us by
a bullet. and, fixing a pin in IL, pro-
ceeded to have his fun. The man was
at the far end of our log, ten feet from
Tom. and l was just beyond Tom on
the other side, and. / am free to con-
fess, was nervous to wonder at Toms
manner at such a time. However,
couldn't help watching his movements.
and actually laughed to see him sliding
the pin-pointed stick along toward the
unsuspecting victim. Having got IL at
the right distance, he waited for a
smashing volley of bullets. and just as
il came he prodded the soldier in the
funny TO see the chap jump and yell
and roll over. and we both fairly howl
ed. But II wasn't so funny when the
man didn't move otter the first startled
action, and Tom looked around at me
in a scared kind of way. His sur
prise found expression in an oath. and
he called to the man. There was no
answer. and he called again. with the
same result. Then he crept over TO
him and gave him a shake. That
brought no response. either, and Tom
dragged him around 50 he could Sc
his face. II was an ashy blue, with
the eyes staring wide open. and the
man was as dead as Julius Caesar. with
never a mark on him, save, perhaps,
that one pin scratch in his back"
Il should think your Joking friend
could never have forgiven himself for
that cruel joke" suggested the report
er
I'm sure he never would have"
concluded the professor. because Tom
was a good fellow and a brave soldier,
but he never had much OF a chance 10,
for when the next volley came he was
on his knees beside his dead comrade,
trying 70 do something for him. and

They were fotent Tor Centuries aud Live
In Honorable History.
From the Plttsburg Dispatch.
We hear much to-day about the
twentieth century woman, the coming
woman and many other things that
would lead one to imagine that woman
Is really a novel element as a ruler.
Now this Is by no means true for. to
say nothing of the Amazons, the part
OF woman In many things was exceed
ingly prominent many centuries ago.
When the great university of Boz
logna was i'm its glory. some 700 years
ago. with its list OF students as great
as those of Harvard or Yale combined
to-day women took their places among
It's students and received their degrees
In medicine, theology and in other
branches. and were quite as prominent
in their studies as are the women stu

women. This refers TO a long time
ago. for as early as $50 this kingdom
discontinued its tribute to the Chinese
authorities.
According to the accounts some TO-
600 families were included In this king
dom. which was ruled by a woman.
whose husband had nothing to do with
the government OF IL. The queen lived
in a house of nine stories and had sew

was also a little queen" who assisted

The men titled the soil and did the
lighting and were employed In house

faces of their employer ladies with the
black clay which Is still used for this
purpose or plating their hair. The sue

ton OF two new queens on the
death OF the reignlng one. They
had a system OF taxation and a politi-
cal system. the council of state meet
ing every fifth day. IL certainly was
an ancient example OF a kingdom ruled
by women.

State Of Montana.

building and furnishing fund became ex-
hausted and in order to complete the
building the plaintiff and others who as
signed their claims to him entered into
written agreement with the trustees
to complete the same and wait until
there should be sufficient money in the
fund from which to pay them. An cleo
ton was called to vote authority to the
trustees to take sufficient money from
the general fund to pay the Indebtedness
but the proposition was defeated by two
majority. This suit was then instituted.
Among other things ii was alleged that
enough of the money of the building fund
was applied to the payment of other ex-
penses than building and furnishing the
school house, to pay this Indebtedness,
and asking that the court order the
money so misapplied to be transferred to
said fund to pay the judgment. The
verdict was general and no finding of
fact with reference to whether or not
any money was misapplied was made by
the jury. and as yet the court has made
none. The attorney for the school dis
trict now contends that unless 1t is found
by the court that sufficient money was
misapplied and judgment or decree or
dered entered. no legal way by which the
judgment can be satisfied except through
an election authorizing the trustees to
transfer money for that purpose from the
general FUND, or to levy special tax to
raise the necessary funds. What is done
will be awaited with interest by the peo-
pie of Basin.

LITTLE, BUT LIVELY.

The news of the riot in Delaware leads the person of an Investigating turn of mind to wonder why such a little state should be inhabited by so many turbulent citizens. It is really remarkable how intensely political the atmosphere of that locality is. Rhode island, though the smaller state, had a population of 345,506 in 1S90,. while Delaware contained only 16S,493 peo- pie. Yet the largest total vote cast in Rhode Island is less than 55000. Della ware has been showing totals of 36,00O to 5000 for number of years, and on November probably cast over 42,- 900. It is common idea that the Ad- dicks faction in the Republican party has developed the voting strength of the state. There is some basis of fact in support of that notion, but the in creasing total votes made their appear ance some years before he was notori- ous.

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.

Although less than fortnight has passed since the polls closed on cleo tion night, people find that, as if by magic, mills, furnaces and factories are resuming operations, thousands of idle men are again finding employment, millions of hoarded gold are being brought to light and put into banks, and in fact throughout the land conf dence had been at once restored
 It is but natural that Wall street should feel this first. For the first time in months the outside public is plainly in evidence in the stock mar ket. Commission houses have been literally supplied with buying orders, the execution of which in a market suffering from paucity of offerings has naturally had the effect of causing prices to rise sharply. Withal, it has been healthy market, with no sensa- tional "whooping up'' of prices, but a gradual, steady rise, with hardening values throughout the list.
 l It is now reasonable to suppose that the country is about entering upon one of those great cycles of prosperity which return in about so many years.
 The conditions which attach to both speculative and legitimate trade are to- day almost identical with those which existed in 1879, when we were entering
 upon one of the greatest eras of pros
 perity in our history. As one observer
 well puts it: With a wealth of Ma
 tional resources superior to those ot
 any other country; with seventy mil
 lion people inspired with belief ir
 better times; with s7O,OO0,OOO in gold
 already in hand from foreign shores and more coming; with mills starting up on every hand; with our farmers tens of millions better off than they
 were two months ago by reason of tht
 great advance in wheat, corn and oats
 with an enormous tonnage in sight fo
 our railroads; with stocks of goods il
 the hands of dealers so small as to in ) sure enormous calls upon manufactur CTS; with personal and corporate econ omy inculcated by the stringency of tn past two years; with over and above al decisive victory for sound fnancia policy and the assurance that the mex congress will be safe to maintain tha } policy, we stand at the threshold o a period of National prosperity"
 : In the light of facts like these would appear that the stock market l, active and strong as it is, had hardl begun to realize, much less discount the abundance of good times that ar
 surely coming.

From the tone of letters received at this office in the last month we infer that there are many honest, but poor, young men who would like to come to Arizona and "grow up with the coun- try" To all such we would say that this is a good country for one who has means to start in business of some kind. It is not a particularly desir- able region for people without means. Hundreds come with impaired health and slender purses who are glad to accept most anything in the way of en- ployment in order to enjoy the benefits of the incomparable climate. There are plenty of opportunities in Arizona, but as in less favored places money is re- quired to make the mare go."

It is pointed out that most of the of flee holders at Washington who have made offensive partisans of themselves during the late campaign and who have, in some cases, even been stump ing the country for Bryan, are pre- cisely the men whose appointment was the most discreditable. They re- ceived office not because of their abil- ity, but just because they had done po- litical work in the past What more natural, then, than that in their en- thusiasm for Bryan they should for get all the proprieties? Probably most of them will now be turned out but that does not alter the fact that they ought never to have been ap- pointed.

PARISIAN WOMEN AND TIGHTS.

Parisian wheelwomen are wearing tights. Not the knit woolen tights which American women have sensibly adopted, but silk tights which are the very counterpart of those worn in the ballet. It is no wonder that the Paris ian public is diverted by the spectacle of it's daily cycling parade when such novelties as these are of frequent oc- currence. The public has proclaimed these tights effective and success, and consequently they have become we'll established as fashion. The young women who have led the inno- vation in Paris have worn bicycle boots of precisely the same height as the ordinary boot. They have been

WHAT M'KINLEY REPRESENTS

Of the 4,875 ,519 savings bank de- positors scattered throughout the Union, less than per cent, or about 10000, reside in the Bryan states, and all but $12 ,9SS, ,044, or about 99 per cent belongs to persons in the Mckinley states. According to a recent official statement, there are 5,S38 building and loan associations in the republic. Of this number 4,749, or near ly five-sixths, are located in the states which voted for Mckinley. On the pension rolls of the federal government are the names of 970,524 persons, and out of this total only 19S,340 are residents of the Bryan states. Ohio and Pennsylvania alone have virtually as many Union pension CTS as the combined twenty states which declared in favor of repudiating one-half of the stipend which the Ma tion has decreed these pensioners should receive.
 Mckinley represents the great bulk of the population of the United States, the great bulk of it's intelligence, the great bulk of it's farming industries,
 the great bulk of it's manufacturing
 industries, the great bulk of it's thrift
 and wealth and the great bulk of the surviving defenders of the flag. For Bryan to assert, in the face of this ar ray of facts and figures, that his defeat
 constitutes moral triumph for him
 and his cause requires a degree of ef-
 frontery which it would be difficult te

Apropos of the disinclination of the English courts to recognize such a mental infirnity as kleptomania, it is recalled that many years ago counsel in a similar case, addressing the late Justice Byles, said: You know, your lordship, that the medical profession now generally recognizes kleptomania as definite nervous dis ease" "Yes,'' responded the judge land I am sent here to cure it."

 It is announced from Rome that the Rev. c. F. Thomas, of Baltimore, has been appointed bishop of the Catholic born in Baltimore, and began his priestly career in Washington.
 Bishop Curtis (Roman Catholic), for merly of Wilmington, Del, says that he once went on a yachting cruise, wear ing a rough yachting costume. An Irishman, observing him change his clothes as the boat drew near shore and discovering that he wore scapulars, said, in a rather gratified tone: "Oh, 1 see that you are Catholic The bishop nodded and said, indifferently: "Oh, yes; I am Catholic" The man continued to watch him, and he gravely put on his Roman collar. 'Oh," said the Irishman, q see you're a priest D 1 The bishop, who had difficulty in main taining his gravity, answered.: ''Yes, I am priest" The man fixed his eyes upon him with more interest than ever,
 and Bishop Curtis then proceeded to
 put on his purple scarf The Irish
 man started with astonishment and
 exclaimed: Why, I see you are a
 bishop!' The bishop said quietly
 Yes, am Bishop Curtis and the man
 fell on his knee and asked the bishops J blessing.
