in Esq. Slatten's court yesterday
Smith G. Tomlinson company last sum-

of an experiment by the enterprising
projectors, but it was based on good
judgment, and the meeting may be
put down as gratifying success in
point of attendance and intellectual
fruition. About twenty physicians
from neighboring cities, with large
representation of local doctors. were
present. Two sessions were held, at
which papers on various subjects of
disease and treatment were read and
discussed. The association accepted an
invitation of DR.. West, of Galveston,

the contest for the supremacy in the
raising of grades suitable for the manu-
facture Of high class cigars Will be be-
tween Mexico and Florida.
The only objections we have heard
against Florida Havana tobacco are that
the leaf averages somewhatsmaller than
that raised in Cuba, and the Indifferent
manner in which tits generally prepared
for market The former objection may
be removed by careful cultivation and
the use of proper Fertilizers, while there
is no excuse for careessness in caring
for the leaf after being harvested.
The Mexlcans are just as Indifferent
as the average Florldian, but in Cuba
the planters exercise the mosJ watchful
care as to every detail and the greatest
diligence in the cultivation Of tobacco,
and when once harvested, no nursing
mother could give a favored child more
fond attention than the tobacco leaf re-
celved at the hands of Cuban planters
in by-gone days We understand that
recently, owing to scarcity of labor,
some planters have not given the same
attention as heretofore In the prepara-
tion of the ground, and the same cause has
led to more careless methods in harvest
ing the crop, AMI the result has been a
very material decline in the average
quality of Havana tobacco sent to this
country recently, Here, then is a hint
for Florida planters,
Florida tobacco should improve in
quality from year to year and, with in
creased carefulness as 10 all details Of
cultivation and preparing the leaf for
market, there is no reason why 1t should
not command as high price as the
choicest brands which come from Cuba

THE PEARCE MINE.
A Property From Which Great Results
 Are Anticipated.

Wilcox News: The first payment of S10,000 on the Pearce mine, recently bonded for $275, ,000, has been made and development work on big scale will commence on the 10th of this month. It is thought that about twenty men will be put ito work to start with and this number will be added to as new ground is opened up until this camp will be one of the fore most in Arizona.
 There is no question about the quan- tity or the quality of the ore in this mine and the gentlemen who have the bond on it have an abundance of capi- tai to develop it, and according to the conditions of the bond it stands them in hand to thoroughly explore the ground at once, which will no doubt be done, and at no distant day the hum of busy camp will be heard where one year ago there was no sign of life save occasionally when some lone pros pector punched his burro over the fab ulously rich ledge, never dreaming of the wealth he was treading on.

A FINANCIAL NAPOLEON.
Who Used a Check Book For All It
 Was Worth.

Willcox News: Don Senor E. B. Morales, a Spanish gentleman who wishes to figure as Nepoleon of if nance, stole Ed. Moore's check book on the post exchange at Fort Grant last week, and, no sooner did he strike Wilcox, than he had money to burn. The way he had of acquiring wealth was no trouble at all to him. He simply borrowed a pen and some ink and went into the back room of Paddy Cooper's saloon and commenced to draw cheeks, signing his own, Patrick Lynch or any other mans name that same to his mind He drew them in all denominations so as to fit the cash on hand of the men he wished to cash them.
 After he had disposed of a part of his stock in trade and filled himself so full of whisky that he commenced giv- ing the balance away, people began to think something was wrong, and Sam Apple arrested the financier and placed him in jail.
 At the hearing before Judge Nichols yesterday the facts of the case came out and curious legal technicality also presented itself. Apparently the mans orthography was so poor that he had misspelled the names he had forged on the cheeks, and the question arose as ito whether ''Prtrich Linen" was a forgery of Patrick Lynch or a libel of the English language.
 However, Judge Nichols did not bother himself much about the matter but gave the gay cavalier the extent of the law for stealing Ed Moore's check book, which was $500 or 300 days in jail. Not having the cash MT. Morales went to jail and before he gets out the grand jury will be in session and can make what disposition it sees fit of the forgery case.

The American commissioner of the London Daily Chronicle, who is still in Washington, cables to his newspa- pers that he is "astounded at the depth and character of American feeling on the Venezuelan question. He finds everywhere, among old and conserva- tive men, and those occupying judi cial positions, the same strong and uncompromising National sentiment, and he warns England that it will make a colossal mistake if it disre- gards this sentiment or bases any cal culation upon the utterances of unrep- resentative and alien newspapers like the New York World and the Evening Post. The London Chronicle commis- sioner gives warning of the very dan ger suggested by the Daily Advertiser that the utterances of the pro-British newspapers and traders in New York city, entirely misrepresenting Ameri- can public sentiment, are calculated to misdirect English opinion and lead to the worst consequences,

RRJTa1N'S WANING PRESTIGE.

The news from the Transvaal over shadows in sensational importance to England the grave dispute over the Venezuelan boundary question. This news is coupled with no less sensation al dispatches from the capitals of Eu- rope, showing how English aggression in South Africa is resented by other nations. The message sent by the Emperor of Germany to the president of the Transvaal republic, and the threats of the German press, are lndl- cations of an aroused spirit on the con tinent that bodes ill for the great world robber. Commercial London hugs it's stocks and bonds and wonders anxiously where Lord Salisbury is to come out of the bad business he has involved England in, for the sake ot making the English commercial class still richer. They begin to realize that English greed cannot always count upon the protection of England's naval power. English manufacturers and artisans are wondering what is to be- come of the foreign markets for Brit ish goods that are already largely en- croached upon by the enterprises Of other nations All classes in England are realizing the consequences of the complications on two continents which have arisen under the premiership of Lord Salisbury, consequences so ap- palling that England may we'll lose its sleep. It looks also, as if the Salisbury administration was riding for a fall. It has made tremendous blunder in America and perpetrated a crime in South Africa. English ministries have fallen from causes of trif1ing inn portance compared with this.
