NO NEwsBoYs IN BERLIN.
Papers Are Delivered by Women In the
Capital of Germany.


Capital of Germany.
Newsboys are unknown in Berlin.
Who could fancy Londoner or a New
Yorker on the omnibus or the elevated
without his newspaper? In the Ger
man capital it is different. Every day at
a stated hour the newspaper is brought
to ones door (be it that of rich man or
poor by a newspaper woman, and read
lcisurely at the morning "freuhstueck"
or evening meal. This so-called "abon-
nement" plan is far wider practiced in
Berlin than the habit of buying at the
newsdealers' stands. The latter are,
nevertheless, well known here, and are
in themselves popularity of the Ger
man capital. Small stands are erected,
generally on the corner of some prom
inent street, such as Inter den Linden,
the Friedrich and Potsdamer, well
stocked with newspapers, magazines
and often drinks of all kinds, and pre-
sided over by men and women. Each
newsdealer has, besides the chance
buyer, his or her own private patronage,
and it would be considered grave Of
Tense for one of these "stiddys" to buy
his paper at any other stand.
There are many odd types among the
newsdealers. In many instances their
individuality is striking enough to give
them celebrity. "Bulow Marie" for in
stance, is known the world over. She
was loved by the great musician, Won
Bulow, and was familiar with all the
masters of Berlin.
All who have visited Berlin must re-
member the little wooden booth at the
Potsdamer gate, where, be it summer,
when the chestnut trees on the nearby
flowing canal are in full bloom, or in
winter, when the bleak winds are blow
ing, over which a stout, motheTly look
ing woman, with bright red cheeks and
CHEEKY blue eyes, is nearly always pre-
siding. "Bulow Marie" loves music.
Dulow made her oenspicuous by his
fiattering attentions. He often stopped
to chat with her at the Thor.
At the end of one of his last conceI Is
"Bulow Marie" testified her deep adj
miration for him by kissing him heart
lily on both cheeks as he was about to
get into his carriage.
The composer Moszkowski is another
of her friends, along with many of the
Berlin opera stars. The youths and
maidens of the neighboring conserva-
tory regard her with considerable awe.
Any new bit of musical gossip over
some famous composer or director the
latest opera, or composition, the death
of some great pianist, criticisms of
Sarasate, D'Albert and Mascagni, any
thing, everything musical, must be dis
cussed with "Bulow Marie" She al
ways knows where Moszkowslli is TO be
found, whether Joachim is at home, and
how Frau Sucher is singing.
There is locally celebrated anarchist
at another paper booth, and at another
a genuine baron of most aristocratic
connections, points his mustache and
twirls his cane while dealing out news
papers to passing purchasers.-Berlin

be willing TO take the responsibility OF
recommending that the work be taken
up and honestly completed.
That Is only a sample of the methods
employed by INSCRIPTIONS men to get
money from the treasury without rem
dering an equivalent for 1t. We recent
ly have found another little steal going
on; and it is OF such petty nature that
nobody would have suspected it. We
are not surprised when we see men
reaching for hundreds of thousands or
millions; but we never expect men 10
undertake little jobs for few thousand
dollars. In other words, little thieves
do not abound among men who have
attained positions and secured reccg-
milton before the executive depart
mcnts, or who have the privilege of do
ing business on Capitol hill. The lest
discovery of corruption involves only
the sum of Ss,OO0; and out of that the
contractor could not have made more
than $4,000, although he might have
made at least 81, 1000 If he had done his
work honestly.
Opposite this city, on the Virginia
heights, there is a cavalry post called
Fort Myer. 1t is near Arlington ceme-
terry, and in plain view of Washington.

aggregate appropriations amounted to
nearly $2,O00,000. About ten years ago
the tunnel was ready for use, and be-
fore turning the water into this viaduct
the qunTtermaster general caused an
inspection, and he made an honest re-
port. Everybody was amazed TO learn
that the enormous sum of $4,000. 900
had been actually thrown away. The
tunnel was useless, and had been con-
structed not for the purpose of carry
ing water, but for the purpose of rob-
bling the government. The hole in the
ground was there, but the brick work
lining was ar awful botch. Common
plaster instead of cement had been
used. Great holes above the brick work
were left unified; and the pressure Of
water would have broken down the
brick lining almost Immediately. The
contractors cared nothing for that.
All they wanted was 10 have the tunnel
accepted by the government, so that
they conld draw their final moneys
from the treasury, and get away from
Washington as soon as possible.

CHRISTMAS.

Christmas has come and gone.
Ever since the close of the fourth
century December 25 has, by COM
mon consent Of all Christian count
ries, been made season for renew
al of friendships, reuniting of fam
lilies and the giving Of charities.
The carol is of religious origin.
Formerly the Bishops and clergy
sang carols on Christmas Day, in
imitation of that first hymn of the
angels sung to the shepheards of
Bethlehem.
Christmas sports in the good old
days were regularly presided over
by a specially chosen director.
This mock sovereignty was some
times very costly, for in 1875 the
'Lord of Misrule" for the Inns Of
Courts, in London, expended from
his private purse no less a sum
than $4,000.
The present holiday season was
the season for revelry, even among
the pagans. The Romans had
their Saturnalia, the Mortimer
lighted fires in honor of Odin and
Thor and in the British Isles the
mystic Druids cut the sacred mis-
tletoe with sacrfcial rites.
The yule log, probable relic of
the fires to Odin and Thor, was
brought in from the neighboring
forest on Christmas Eve in ancient
times. Music and song preceded
its bearers, and it was solemnly
lighted with the charred relics of
last years log, which were care
fully preserved.

A MORMON COLONY.
One May Be Established on the Buckeye
Canal

One May BE Established on the Buckeye
Canal.
1t is understood that negotia-
tions are going forward looking to
the requirement by the Mormon
church of the Buckeye canal and
of a considerable area of land ly-
ing under it's scope of irrigation.
Brigham Young, Jr., one of the
apostles of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, has
been in Mesa for over week, and
he is understood to be represent
ing the probable purchasers.
The stock of the New" Buck
eye canal is largly in the hands of
w. H. Barnes, of New York, W.
o. O'Neil, of Prescott and J. L. B
Alexander of this city, the last
named being secretary of the cor
poration. Great improvements
have long been heralded, but the
cash would appear to have been
lacking.
The canal heads about twenty
five miles down the river on the
Gila below the mouth Of the Aqua
Fria. Here there is an especially
fine flow of water at all seasons.
The land irrigated is of excellent
quality and over 100000 acres can
be brought under the canal by an
extension across the Hassayampa,
Republican.

The Bulletin last week said 1t
knows little about the revocation
of Ed. Fosters teachers certificate
and then goes on to charge theGUAR
DIAN with attacking the Presbyter-
ian church and the board of ex-
aminers because 1t published reso-
lutions adopted at a public meet
ing. 1t is plain to be seen that
the editor of the Bulletin does know
little about it, and the article In
dicates that he knows little more
about journalism, for if he knows
anything about newspaper work he
knows that 1t is not only the priv
elege but the duty of newspapers
to publish the proceedings of pub
lIc meetings when asked to do so.
The GUARDIAN did not attack the
Presbyterian church nor the board
of cx ,miners. 1t simply published
the resolutions as they were sent
to us. We do not trump up reso-
lutions neither do we forge letters
and publish them.

NEW YEARS.

The year Of '96 has just dawned
and the year of '95 has gone, never
again to be recalled. Every man
and woman should be able to look
back over the past year and say,
we'll done. Then firmly resolve
to do better and nobler work dur
ing the present year than in the
past. Resolve to have it said that
the world was made better by your
having lived in it. Resolve that
not a day shall pass without your
having made some advancement,
andthen live up to these resolutions.
The old year has been prosper
Gus one for the people of Arizona
in general, and to those of Graham
county in particular, and never
has year dawned, bringing with
it brighter prospects for our peo-
pie than the present one if we will
only embrace the opportunities
presented. A country blessed
with more agricultural and mineral
wealth does not exist on the face
of the earth, and at the end of '96
our people can not only be better
people but also weather people.

THE Sun may be just little be-
hind the procession, but it would
like to know just what the ter
ritory or the state Of Arizona, if
you please, can do with the mil
lions of acres Of arid lands that so
many of our newspaper brethren
want Congress to give us? In its
present condition the land that
does not lay where it can be ir-
rlgated cannot be given away, al
,ffb8ugh with water it would be val
liable. Inasmuch as the govern
ment has given millions of dollars
for the purpose of building canals
and deepening rivers in the eastern
states. would it not reasonably be
supposed that Congress could just
as legally aid the building of res
crvoirs for the reclaiming of the
arid lands of Arizona? 1t is certain
that when these lands have passed
