Germany used to be q land OF cheap
and good music. The music is as good
as ever, but it is no longer so very
cheap as it used TO be. At Hamburg,
for instance, opera seats cost from 70
cents to $3.50, or on special occasions
So and SO. Concert tickets are not
much lower, 81 being charged even at
chamber-music soirees. An attempt
is also being made in Hamburg to en-.
force the wearing of evening dress in
the parquet, to the great Indignation
Of those who believe that fashion and
music should be kept separate.

Man and tho Mammoth.

A remarkable discovery was made
few years ago in the sandstone rock at
the Nevada State Prison. The Find"
was considered wonderful, not only
from n geological standpoint, but from
an chronological point of view also.
While the convicts at the institution
were unearthing some huge blocks of
stone they uncovered some peculiar IN
donations in one of the slabs. Closer
investigation proved that these queer
marks we're the tracks of some gigan-
tic beast of antediluvian time-per-
haps q mastodon or a mammoth
When the startling intelligence was
announced to the prison officials they
had the sandstone slabs containing the
tracks carefully cleaned, whereupon
another wonderful discovery was
made In the same pieces of stone,
sometimes at the side and sometimes
between the tracks made by the great
prehistoric beast, were a series Of
human footprints, which proved con-
clusively that man and the mammoth
lived not only at the same time and
in the same age, but that the huge
beast and the man had passed that
way during the same year, and per-
haps on the same day. These wonder
full relics Of bygone age we're found
in quarry of depth of about fifteen
feet from the surface and had pre-.
viously been covered with o stratum
composed of hundreds of tons of stone
the accumulation of the ages that
had interviewed between the date upon
which the tracks were made and that
upon which they were revealed to the
scientists. Expert biologists who
have since passed an opinion on the
matter soy that at the time the tracks
we're made that which is now hard
sandstone was ''Inucky" deposit o.
soft sediment probably the border Of
o lake, where the man had been fishing
and where the mammoth had come to
battle or drink.

she was aware OF that same. A girl
may be as good as gold and as inno-
cent as a dove, but she can't help
knowing if she has e good-looking

if she has little vanity on the score
of being able to turn a tune well or

And as she stood there, q brave
young fellow, dressed in green, turned
the corner of the mill with n quick,
light foot. She turned about at the
same time, and they looked at each
other. He had a bit of cap on top
of his red mop of curls, and says he,
laughing out and lifting the cap:

of all Ireland, Brian Boru."
The young man laughed again, and
says he: "My fairy princess, will you
be after giving me the pleasure Of
taking cup of cool, fresh water from
your lily-white hand?"
"The water you may have and vel
come" says she, "barring the lily

Reflections of a Bachelor.
From the New York Press


 Woman was made before mirrors, but it wasn't her fault.
 The best thing about some men is- the stories their wives tell.
 Anyway, man never tells what girls said when then proposed to him. No man of good character wants to thoroughly understand two women. The only people that know much they don't tell are editors and milk meu.
 q woman never feels really helpless tili she gets 3 mosquito bite under her r4et
 e woman cares very much for man who has no brutality in his make ID.
 No man can be entirely free from responsibility So long as he wears sus- penders.
 The longer man is married the less room he finds for his clothes in any Of the closets.
 Kissing is like eating mushrooms. You never can be sure what will hap pen till afterwards.
 When woman can't find anything else to feel sorry for, she gets to feel ing sorry for herself.
 If the flood had lasted few days longer Noah's wife would have made him put in fly screens.
 The average mans idea of faithful wife is one who will put the bone but tons in his shirt for him.
 A man can always tell by the way girl kisses whether she has ever kiss ed man with full beard.
 A woman knows just about as much about politics as man does when to leave off his winter underclothes.
 The people who pray hardest for the millennium wouldn't know what to do with themselves if it really came. When it's himself, man says he has accepted positions when its another man, he says he's found job.
 wonder if any one ever saw a wo- man in q crowded street car get up and offer her seat to man with baby in his arms.
 As soon as woman gets an idea that she is the intellectual equal of man her husband begins to get along with pickup dinners.
 The man who kicks the hardest about the way the city cleans the streets is the small boy that always used to walk in the gutter.
 Women don't generally marry men because they see something fine in them, but they see something fine in them because they marry them.

MILLER CAPTURED.
The Outlaw Found at Jerome and Taken
 to Flagstaff.

PREscoTr, Ariz., May 15.-Deputies Fletcher, Fairchild and Cade Selvy of coconino county succeeded in capturing c. Miller, one of the men who escaped iail with Parker Sunday. He was caught at Jerome, where he has been in hiding for day or two. While wounded twice he states that he re- ecived them from Jailor Meador's pistol as they were getting away from the jail. and says further that the third shot 8fad hy Meador struck Cornelia, passing tirougb his body, basdie not strike vital spot He says he Left the others fifteen minutes after the escape and hid in g bushy canyon just east oi town till night, hence was not in the fight Sunday night with the deputies. Miller says six prisoners were in the plot, but refused to divulge the names of the other three.
 Their plans were laid for the day pre- vious and they intended to hold up the county treasurer and take all the money in sight and shoot every one in their way. Parker was particularly anxious to get a shot at Sheriff Ruffner. The opportunity for carrying out the plans did not present itself and on Sunday only three succeeded in getting out. At Miller's request he was taken toElag- staff to remain until the excitement here subsided. Miller's brother was released from custody as there is no evidence whatever to connect him with the es- cape. Miller confirms what has been apparent from the first. No one outside knew of the plans or aided them in car rying them cut.

Col. Vim. Breckenridge, who has been the Southern Pacific detective on this division for many years, was in the city Monday. The detective depart ment was abolished the first of the year and the Southern Pacific concluded to get along without the Colonel's valua- ble services. For three months the trains seemed to run as usual, but in April the claims department discovered that to pay for the increased number of cat tie killed by the cars would take as much money each month as would pay the Colone's salary for ssa year. When this fact was reported to MT. Hunting ton he immediately instructed the auditor of the claims department to negotiate with the Colonel and secure his reconnection with tbe Southern Pa cific. When this had been accomplished MT. Huntington issued an order to the effect that the Tucson division should not attempt to do business in the future without Col. Breakenridge's presence -[I,ordsburg Liberal.

from the Lordsburg LiberaLl
 The Liberal man was in Fl Paso Sun day and had series of experiences which may be of more personal than public interest. He began the day by getting shaved, and the barber tried in vain to sell him bottle of hair dye. Then a friend invited him to attend the Presbyterian church, which invitation was accepted Before church began he was talking with another friend who is an oeulist, who remarked "Presby- opia is quite apparent in you" Con- fession is made that the word presby- opia was not understood, but it was re- membered that negrophobia meant hatred of the negro and he wondered if the fact that he had accepted an invita- tion to attend the Presbyterian church had such an effect on him that friends would notice it. Later in the day he came home and read in the Headlight that all the old timers in the county had known hin for years. The word presbyopia still bothered him and he consulted a dictionary and found that it meant farsightedness incident to old age. Then he saw a light. The barber's endeavor to sell hair dye. the friend invitation to attend church, the presbyopia, the being chased with the old-timers, all indicated beyond doubt that he was growing old. With these facts staring him in the face he will not deny it. Nevertheless it need not be expected that he will step one side and quit. He has consulted therecords and finds he is not half as old as his father, who is strong and sturdy and able to vote the Republican ticket every time an election comes around. He gives notice that notwithstanding the marks of age he intends to keep right on pub fishing the Liberal and exposing crook ed and incompetent office holders fol years to come.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Back Salaries Must Be Paid in Maricopa
 County.
From the Phoenix Herald.1


 Judge Baker this morning rendered decision in the case of Jerry Millay against the county of Marieopa, in which the plaintiff asks that a mandate issue requiring the Board of Super- visors to pay him back salary under the law passed by the last session of the Legislature, the Board of Super visors having refused to do so on the ground that the law was unconstitu- tional and of no effect.
 The case had been hard fought one and several important points entered into it. It was contended by the attor- neys for the county that the Harrison Act barred the claims for back salary, and also that the Legislature had no power to pass such law.
 In rendering his decision this morn ing Judge Baker showed that so far as the Harrison Act was concerned Mari copa county had not yet reached the limit of indebtedness established by that law. He also held that it was within the power of the Legislature to pass such law, and ordered that judg- ment be entered for the plaintiff and a mandate issue requiring the Board of Supervisors to pay the claim.
 This case was test case, and the other officers of the county entitled to back salaries will also be paid on pre- sentation of their claims.

Thomas Cocannon was fatally shot at Congress late on Saturday night by Mamie Bonn, prostitute who used to live in Phoenix. The shooting occurred in saloon and so far as an intention to kill Cocannon was concerned, was accidental. He died just the same in twenty minutes. The shot was ac- tually fired at another prostitute named Nina Losey. The ball took effect in Coeannon's stomach. He was buried on Sunday afternoon and the woman is in jail in Prescott. Two things are proveds~by the incident. Oneis that Yavapai county $ reputation for disorder is being c,,nscientiously and regularly sustained, and the other is that Cocannon was destined to enter eternity by mistake. About year ago he was stabbed and nearly killed one night by man who-thought he
 was somebody else.-[ Phoenix Republi can.
