A writer in the New York Tribune makes an almost incredible statement about Queen Taitus of Abyssinia, who, according to him, if 46 years old, a cousin of Menelk, and Qike hfm) descended in direct line from the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. She and Menelik fell in love about thirty years ago, but the Emperor Theodore forced her to be- come his wife and gave his daughter to Menelik Taitus second husband, Gen eral Gabriel. was killed in battle from her third, General Glorghis, she was di- vorced; her fourth, the governor of Eglou, was executed by the Emperor John; her fifth she fled from. Finally she met Menelik again and married him in 1885. Ever since then she has exer- cised a marvellous influence over her hus- band, who consults her about everything, and invariably follows her advice. It was due, to her clever and sagacious counsels that he formed an alliance with the late Emperor John which had the result of assuring to him the succession to the latter's throne And the astonish- ing shrewdness with which he has man. aged for ten years past to oppose all the efforts made by the Italian government in the shape of intrigue and of armed attack to obtain possession of his country is justly ascribed both by his people and by his foes to the remarkable cleverness of his dusky consort, Empress Tatui, the "Queen of Queens.' and the sun and light of Ethiopia"

Sold Whisky to Indians.

Omicindo Guerra and Rosario Mar tinez, the former in charge of Stephen Aguirre's team, loaded with merchan- andise tor Globe, were brought in un- der arrest on Wednesday by Thomas Armer, Indian farmer, charged with selling whiskey to the Indians on the reservation.
 Amongst the merchandise was a bar rel of whisky for W. T. McNelly, which Guerra tapped by forcing the hoops up and driving gad through the barrel, making small hole through which the liquor escaped and was caught in bot ties. Guerra appears to have done a good business as between eight and ten gallons of whisky is gone from the barrel and several of the Indians at the camps on the San Carlos river were gloriously drunk.
 Mir. Armer came in again yesterday from the reservation with four Indian witnesses, and Guerra and Martinez were given hearing before Court Commissioner Al. Kinney. Guerra was bound over to await the action of the U. s. grand jury at Florence. Mar tinez was discharged, there being no incriminatirg testimony against him.

The farce of issuing annuity goods to the Indians on the heel of winter was re-enacted on the White Mountain res ervation this week. We may expect to see the Governments wards in Globe within few days, selling two dollar shoes for six bits, and exchanging 75 cent flannel for 6 cent calico, yard for yard. Blankets, woolen shirts and socks and other articles of apparel is- sued to the Indians are likewise dis posed of for song. Why is this? Be- cause the Indians have no use for these goods after the winter is over. It is time reform were instituted in this annuity business.

Kid Thompson Must Hane.

The Supreme Court of California
 has affirmed the judgment of the Su
 perior Court of Los Angeles county fir
 the case of Kid Thompson, the Roscoe train robbcr, convicted on the charge
 of train robbing and murder. The
 appeal to the Supreme Court was
 mainly based upon the legal point thai the complaint against the Kid charged two offenses, when in order to be valid
 1t should charge only one. That this point is strong one is evidenced by the fact that the Supreme Court stood four to three, the division being upon this question.
 Kid Thompson was convicted of wrecking and robbing a Southern Pacific passenger train at Roscoe sta tiou, Cal, about two years ago. He had acoemplices. Kid himself turned the switch which sent the engine into the ditch and Engineer Haley to his death.
 Through the information of an associate, one Etzler, the crime was fastened upon Kid Thompson and Alva Johnson. Thompson fled to Ari- zona and was captured near Reno, in this county, by Billy Moore and party. The reward of $i6OO for Thompson's capture was recently paid to Moore.
 When informed of the decision or the Supreme Court, Kia was unmoved and said: 'If it has got to come off, and l reckon it has, I hope you will not delay matters. Hurry it up and don't koep me laying around here any longer than you have to. I am no good to myself nor anyone else, and the sooner get off the earth the bet ter it will be. am tired anyway of laying around here in jail. That of itself is just about as bad as being des.d.n
 The Los Angeles Herald says: ''It is the unanimous opinion of the jail au- thorities that the Kid is one of the most cold-blooded, brutal characters ever kept within the confines of the county bastile."
 The death watch was set on him and it is the intention of the Sheriff not to permit the Kid to be alone for one single moment. either night or day, as long as he Is kept in the Los county jail. Within the next thirty days the remittur will arrive md the prisoner will then be taken to San Quentin prison to be confined un- 'il date is fixed by the Supreme Court 'or his execution.

The officers and members of Company A, National Guards, attended in uniform and the ladies, not to be outdone by their gallant attendants, were attired with exceptional good taste and looked even more lovely than usual. There was mettle in the heels of the dancers as they whirled through the mazes of the waltz and cotillion, and animation and pleasure depicted on every coun- tenance. It was late hour when the sssemblage reluctantly dispersed.
