Eastern people who come to Ari- zona are, for the most part, used to good roads. They cannot be expected to take kindly to mud reads such as we have in Phoenix as the result of unscientffic sprinkling. We are try ing ito interest rich customers in this section. Why should the city au- thorlties tolerate practices that make this a mud town? It is time to change the meehod of laying the dust, gentlemen of the council.

The discussion as to whether the massive lump that Lieut.. Peary has brought home with him is a meteor ite or a tellurite starts off in a way to indicate that it is likely to last all winter. The debate will be interest ing, if not exciting, and ought to con- tribute somewhat to the popular dis semination of scientific knowledge.

The fact that $900,000 fire in St. Louis was caused by a smouldering cigarette will probably be made the A occasion for many newspaper filings ht the much maligned little roll of to-
 go. But the cigarette has enough to answer for without having to bear this additional reproach. The St. Louis confagration seems to have been due to the rank carelessness of clerk, and carelessness was very much in evidence in the world before the first cigarette was manufactured. If the moralisEs must dilate on this incident let them preach on the evil results of thoughtlessness.

BEAUTY AT AUCTION.

An interesting light is thrown up- on the social conditions which pre- vail in Georgia by an episode reported from a town in that state. There is at Lagrange, it seems, a southern female college and Lagrange female college. Both institutions are de- scribed as "very exclusive" their stu dents mainly coming from the first families of the neighborhood. Fur thermore, it was a ''social leader' who devised the scheme of the beau y sale" destined to make Lagrange fla that this extraordinary affair took place among coarse or commonplace people, or that it was foreign to the tastes and habits of high life in Geor- gfa. In a town where there were two female" colleges a woman's li- brary was deemed an essential re- quirement; and it was to raise money for this noble purpose that the beauty sale was held Much will be done for the benefit of some object that few persons would think of doing for themselves The end justifes the means is the motto of charitable en- thusiasts, from the promoters of church fairs up. Complete moral ir- responsibility is the result of their generous impulses. So beauty sale by the workers for the woman's h- brary at Lagrange, though perhaps somewhat more revolting to the or similar cases, is really only the logi- cal outcome of apron and necktie parties and poverty sociables.
 -~ The beauty sale seems to have been fine demonstration of the self-sac- | riicing way in which the young wo- men of Lagrange threw modesty to the winds for the good of the cause. Upon the stage,' we are told, "sat the beauty of the two colleges of fair young girls. Fourteen of the fairest of notably fair daughters were to be sold under the hammer to the high est bidder MT Wisdom and Col. Moon acted as auctiuueers, and each ! in his inimitable way portrayed to those present the varied attractions of each young lady offered for sale. :" We judge from this that the occasion must have been highly humorous. MT. Wisdom and Col. Moon doubtless "chaffed' the beauties thus auctioned off with easy fluency We do not know how far they went in their de- scription of the charms thus pre- scented to the public gaze; but a very little way should be more than enough to young women conscious of the in escapable suggestiveness of such an episode.
 'The excitement reached it's height the veracious chrOnicler adds, when Miss Fannie Belle Strong was presented. She proved to have so many admirers in the audience that the price was run away up. The young lady won the prize offered for the one bringing the best price" It does not appear that among all these admirers there was one conscious of the degradation of the scene. If there was he made no sign. And so- ciety in Lagrange, composed of the

GROUND UP IN A VAT.
Horrible Fate of Dough Mixer
Peter DOggett.

New York. Dec. 2O.-The Herald says:
Circumstances pointing to a murder of
unusual horror We're recently brought to
the attention of District Attorney Olcott
and Captain McCuskey of the detective
bureau, the alleged victim in the case
having been Peter Doggett. so years old.
who, if his relatives are justified in their
stories, was thrown into a dough mixing
vat at No 427 West Fifteenth street on
August 2S last and literally cut to pieces.
DOggetts sister, the police have been
told by her and her lawyer, has received
u letter from her mother in ireland. in
which the writer says the only witness OF
the crime is now there. The letter sets
forth that this witness was in the factory
of the New York Biscuit company, where
Doggett was employed, on the morning
of August IS. and saw another man shove
him into a mixing machine, the bottom
of which was swept by fanges moving
at high speed.
That Doggett was ground to pieces in
the factory vat is known, but coroner s
jury November 10 last decided that his
death was due to accident.
The letter. which is now in the hands
of the district attorney. alleges that dur
ing a quarrel with another workman Dog
gett was pushed into the boiling mass be-
low.

The Conditions Which Invite FOOthOld
of This Dread Disease.
The germs of this disease cannot OBJ
tain foothold until the resistive pow
ers of the tissues have been reduced.
There must be not only the seed, but the
soil This impaired power of resistance
may be the result of heredity, and this
influence i'll the causation Of disease is
seldom shown to better advantage than
in the history of consumption. There
have been instances in which a single
case introduced into a long and sound
ancestry has initiated the stock forever.
How unfortunate that such matters
are so little considered i'll marrying and
giving in marriage! 1t is not that the
disease is inherited, but the vulnerable
tissues, the feeble resistive powers, rem
der the offspring an easy prey to the
ubiquitous bacillus. This weakness often
shows itself by a tendency to become i'll
from slight causes, a sickness not by
any means to be COMPOUNDED with merely
a lack of robustness or strength. One
organ or part of the body, frequently
the mucous membrane, is usually more
prone to become affected, and the begin
ming of the disease can often be traced
to an attack of some slight ailment
Not only the children of consumptive
parents may show these characteristics,
but also those Of parents generally en-
feebled, or whose ages are widely sepa-
rated, or who are closely related by blood,
or of a mother who has previously borne
number in quick succession. Even
when heredity is sound the same condi-
tion is sometimes induced by coddling,
by improper feeding, by attacks Of acute
disease or by want and distress In
growing children a bad carriage of body
may act injuriously by contracting and
deforming the chest. The stopped posi-
ton which boys sometimes assume in
bicycle riding should be discouraged for
this reason. William L. Russell, NJ.

Why Not

Insure your property with the
Guardian Insurance Co? 1t is purely
home company and the money
which you pay in is kept right here
in your own State. Besides this, by
chartered right they guarantee to
every policy holder participation in
their profits and it is the only COM
pany in Tennessee which does il.
Its policy holders are free from all
liabilities as with any other stock
companies, which return you moth
ing.
The value of this Company to the
people of Tennessee can only
properly be measured by the fact
that it has saved to them in the last
two years an average of about $780,
10000 annually, in preventing a
general increase in rates, which
would have been enforced by the
other companies but for the interpo-
sition of the Guardian; and to this
extent, at least, this company has
proven benefactor to the citizens
of Tennessee, and is therefore GER
tainly entitled to the cordial sup
port which it has received, and OF
which we respectfully solicit a con-
tinuance.
