The house is generally pre- sided over by a student, sometimes by 6 man and wife, who for period of six months or year give themselves up to the work of thus counseling and helping the poor. These university set dement's are strictly nonsectarian. They have been established in England, Chicago, San Francisco and New York, and in every instance have demonstrat- ed the wisdom of their existence.
 The University of California has a number of scholarships endowed by Mrs. Hearst, who first gave five, then three more, and has increased the num- Der to twelve.
 So much for the character of the woman and the work which she has made the main object of her life. Now let us turn to the magnificent and taste full home in which she so delightfully."- entertains her friends in Washington It'is substantial building of red brick, intermingled with brown stone, and stands few paces south of Dupont cir cle. When Mrs. Hearst became the pur- chaser it was extensively added 10 and remodeled. Up a broad flight of brown stone steps on the terrace one passes to the massive entrance portieo, the roof of which is supported on stone columns artistically carved. This ex~ tends some distance across the east front. The front door of heavy oak is studded half way up with massive iron bolts: the upper half is of plate glass, before which is an interlacing of fancy iron finished at the top in mimic spikes The flooring of the yestibule and hall- way is of white mosaies. Carved oak is the woodwork of the hallway, the somber tone of which is relieved by a large lamp of fretted ironwork hang ing from the center of the ceiling, also of oak. This lamp throws light on all sides from under stained glass of most brilliant co1ering.
 At the end of this hallway, facing the
 entrance, is the dining-room, screened off by a portiere formed of costly piece of tapestry. On the left of the entrance are two drawlng-rooms, the walls of which are hung with pale blue satin demask. Beyond, on the south front, is the library, in which is gath cred collection of rare and valuable books. In charming little alcoye stands a rare old inlaid spinnet, over the keys of which once strayed the magic hands of Mozart.
 On the right of the entrance, the hall- way widens through a broad archway into square apartment, directly fac ing the Moorish stairway, which with a graceful turn leads to balcony over looking the large music-room, one of

IMPROVING A BAD MEMORY.
Certain Rules by Means of Which Those
 Affected May Profit.

Certain Rules by Means of Which Those
 Afected May Profit.
 You can cultivate your memory just as you can cultivate your music, and it will improve steadily up to a certain point The science of mnemonics, as it is called, has recently been studied anew in Europe, where some surprising results have been achieved in the exper iments that were tried.
 1t has been found, for instance, that a man who had a poor memory from youth was enabled to so strengthen his niind by assiduous cultivation that he could, without the slightest appar- ent trouble, recall minute facts, giving dates and names. He could recite whole passages, word for word, after once reading a book. A French scientist, however, has pointed out that this is done at the expense of the other intellectual powers, and that the whole of the mans mental energy had been diverted to single channel. He was so busy remembering dates and names in history that he forgot his dinner. It has also been claimed that a memory TOT minute IdCbS IS cu1IlNaIeQ at the expense of the judgment, and that due sense of proportion of large events rarely accompanies the recollec- ton of names and dates.
 Here are four fundamental facts to be borne in mind by those who would improve a bad memory:
 1. That our remembrance of any thing depends principally on the force, duration or iteration of attention we devote to it.
 2. That the habit of attention in creases with acts of attention.
 3. That ideas are recalled by ideas which by likeness, contrast or other. wise, are adapted to suggest them.
 I. That the faculty of remembering is strengthened by the effort of re- membering
 Some men have remarkable mem- ory for names. Others can as readily recall dates or numbers. There are others who can neither recall names nor dates. but who never forget face. IN. Y. Journal.

The fathers of this republic built wiser than they knew when they con structed the Declaration of lndepen- denee. They represented 13 small col onies, having scarcely 100000 of peo- ple, and merely banded together for mutual defense against common foe, one of the most powerful nations ot the earth. The colonies had no navy, no treasury and but small, ll-patd and inexperienced army. They had not been accorded belIigerent rights by any country, and the men who signed the Declaration were guilty of treason, ac- corcing to English law, and might have been hung for their offense. These de- voted patriots fully realized this fact, vet not one voice trembled when the Declaration came up for adoption on that memorable Fourth of July, 17l6, not one hesitated when the immortal document was placed before them for their signature.
 It was a declaration to the world that a new star was to be added to the galaxy of nations. It's breathings went out all over the land inspiring the pee- ole with new hope and courage, plainly showing that the day of compromise had forever passed. They, the signers of the Declaration, knew they were opening the way for a new nation, born in liberty, but they could not possibly have foreseen the growth in area, pop ulation, wealth, power and influence of the young republie-the problem Of ''government of the people. for the peo- pie, and by the people" had been prae- tically unsolyed. They had to build along new lines and to explore new fields. But if they could not previse the coming glories of the republic their wisdom, judgment and disinterested patriotism combined to set the founda- tions so well that they have admirably met all the varying conditions, and bid fair to be as enduring as the eyerlast- ing hills.
 What man could have dreamed f00 years ago that the little struggling col onies, whose nationality was just pledged in the Declaration of Indepen- dence, would develop into a matchless republic of 7o,00o,oo0 of people, leading all other countries in wealth, in re- sources and in general prosperity? Or could he have possibly foreseen this same republic throwing the aegis of it's protection about the smaller repub- lies of this hemisphere and boldly say ing to the powers of Europe that this government will not permitany further encroachments upon the domain of the two Americas?

 Washington, D. C., C.,June25.-Far more than merely a factor In the fashionable world of to-day is Mrs. Phoebe Hearst; she is an active agent in the betterment of the world. By reason of her vast for tune she has been enabled to carry out her ideas of philanthropy and charity upon a scale rarely attained by private generosity; and while in the ultra-fash- ionable society of Washington, where she now makes her winter home, she is known mainly as one of the most charming members, there is another side of her character, knowledge of which is studiously kept from the ac- quaintances of the gay world. Her colossal charities are conducted so quietly that their extent is scarcely re alized even by her intimate friends.
 It is well known that the dispensing of hespitalities from the handsome house at the iuncture of New Hamp= shire avenue and Twentieth street is one of the most prominent factors in the success and brilliancy of Washing ton winter. But it is not known to many that at the very time when the fashionables are feasting in her win ter residence, there go up daily from ten of the poorest houses in the city prayers of thanllfulness that the mill lions of the late senator from Califor- nia have as their almoner this gentle, thoughtful, efficient woman, to whom the poor of Washington, no less than those of San Francisco, owe debt of gratitude for food aud shelter and cloth ing. Many a. poor family Mrs. Hearst literally supports each winter, paying their rent and supplying them with food and shelter. All such cases are under the supervision of her house. keeper, to whom Mrs. Hearst necessar- fly intrusts the task of personally in vestigating the worthiness of such cases of destitution as are brought to her at tention.
 Three kindergartens, two for white md one for colored children, are en- tirely supported by Mrs. Hearst in Washington. The Kindergarten for col ored children is at present in what is known as Snow court. neighborhood

given up almost entirely to a eolored population of the very poorest class. 1t will, however, soon be moved to q larger building in another locality, in order to secure a site with sufficient grounds for the starting of kitchen garden and flower garden in which the children may be taught to work. To the Columbia kindergarten, now in op- eration in one of the public schools, Mrs. Hearst is one of the largest con tributors.
 In addition to these llindergartens in Washington she maintains no less than go in the city of San Francisco. These have been established for 15 years, and accommodate in all from 5000 to 4,ooO children. Each has a principal and six teachers, with aver age classes of 15o children.
 Though primarily growing out of love for children, Mrs. Hearst's deep in- terest is due to the fact that the expe- rience of many years has fully con vineed her that 1t is impossible to hope for much in the way of permanently re- claiming criminals and confirmed drunkards. She believes that the hope for the future for the whole human race lies in educating the children.
 The efficacy of her system was dem onstrated in the case of one of the first kindergartens established, located in the very worst sections of San Fran cisco. At first the parents would not allow their children to attend the school-hid them away, in fact, when the teachers went in search of the poor little waifs. Gradually, however, the children were brought into school In about two years it was noticed that there was a very pereeptible falling off in the attendance Investigation dis closed the fact that the parents of the pupils, insensibly influenced by the teaching given to their children, were moving away from the sinlI-hole of in- iquity in the midst of which the school had been started, desiring to have their children brought up in better neighbor- hoods.
 The Methodist university of Wash ington is indebted to Mrs. Hearst for a recent gift of S1o,ooo foi. the College of History. This gift was made in mem ory of the late senator's mother, who was a Methodist.
 For the building of the girls school of the Episcopal cathedral in Washing ton Mrs. Hearst has given the sum of $l75,o00. This will be paid in install melatsa of S35 ,000 a year for five con secutive years, as the estate is not at present in such condition as to allow of tsAentire sum being given at one time. 5ne q isss IT..

GUS HEYMAN'S MASCOT.
The Unlucky Number Has No Terrors
 For Him.

One of the most popular of the knights of the grip who make Arizona their occasional tilting ground is Gus Heyman It may be half pint bottles of samples and itmay be collars and socks, but his constant companion is a small valise to which is attached a tag 'No. 13," issued by Jake Abraham of Clifton to his commercial visitor.
 This tag is notable among the road sters as indicative of Heyman's natural bravery and contempt for superstition. ':Why do you know" said Abraham, "I tried to run out those valise tags ac- cording to number, but when I got to 13 I stuck. No IA went all right and. though I offered the 13 to every man, over hundred went out before I could work off the supposedly unlucky num- Der. And Heyman was pleased to take it.

A NEW HOTEL.
The Cosmopolitan Being Put in Con
 dition for Occupancy

Tucson Citizen: For some years past the Cosmopolitan hotel, which at one time was the principal place of en- tertainment in Tucson, has been closed and had become stamping ground for spiders. But change is to be brought about
 Dr. Geo. E. Goodfellow, the owner of the property, has decided to put it in repair, and work is now in progress. The improvements and repairs, which are under the direct supervision of MT. W. c. Davis, are of an extensive na- ture, and when completed will make the practically new building one of the most complete and commodious hotels in the southwest. The improvements consist in the laying of new floors in the lower story, the arrangement of the front portion and thorough rem ovation of the guest rooms in the lower story. The second story will be di- vided into large, comfortable, well lighted, well ventilated rooms. Around the two outside fronts of the building there will be erected large double porch. All the rooms facing on the porch will be provided with French windows, thus enabling the occupants to step out at will and greatly adding to their comfort during the warm season.
 It is probable that the hotel will be leased and conducted by Robert Will Hams, at present conducting a hotel at Florence Mr. Williams has had long experience in the hotel business, and has always made success.
 Owing to the extensive nature of the repairs and improvements the hote will not be ready flor opening until about the first of June.

 The Odd Fellows also have in view the erection of building, three stories in height, embracing business quarters and lodge rooms. The location was correct, but the lot was too narrow for the project of hall. A wider lot will be secured on an eligible corner and the new hall will be in substantial evil dence before the close of the year.

Ouashing of the Noted Case of Fur ney Against the City of
 PhCenlx.

The supreme court yesterday spent the greater portion of its time on the suit of the Gila Bend Reservoir and Irrigation company ct al, against w. H. Linn ct al. The case covers long range of legal controversy and was argued during the morning by J. B. Woodward for appellants, and by Judge Stephens of Peoria for the ap- pellee. Argument was continued until today.
 In Luke vs. Allen motion to sus- tain judgment was temporarily passed
 Motions to affirm judgment were sustained in the cases of Ohnick vs Sherman and Hancock vs Pemberton both from the Maricopa county district
 In Gila county vs. J. H. Thompson Q: motion to dismiss was granted.
 In Mutual Life Insurance company vs. Artelger, administrator, a motion to dismiss was denied and the case was set for hearing today.
 Turney vs. City of Phoenix promised to become one of the famous cases of the session, as trial by the supreme court meant the adjudication of a number of legal questions concerning the organization of the city of Phoenix
 The origin of the case was far back in a personal controversy in which figured Maj J. w. Evans and Dr. J M. Ford. Dr. Ford had a personal en- counter with O. A. Turney, an em- ploye of Evans, and Turney had one with Dr. Ford's son and then Turney was arrested by the city authorities and fined $50 for carrying a con- cealed deadly weapon
 A writ of habeas corpus was sworn out and on nearing before the su- preme court it was proposed to attack the style of the criminal warrants o1 the city, in that they give the terri tory of Arizona as plaintiff, instead oi the city, further that the city has nc right under its special charter to leg islate against crime already provided for in the general territorial statutes and generally a picking over of the incorporation was promised.
 But the habeas corpus was denied and without any reference to these complex points. It was denied as soon as the court was informed thai Turney is not in jail deprived of his liberty" but is breathing the atmos- phere of comparative freedom secured by a recourse to a bail bond. Under such circumstances, it was agreed, nc application in habeas corpus could be entertained
