Gold In BarnatO's Body.

A German paper is responsible for ihe announcement that Barney Barnato, still more than the legendary king of Peru, who was wont to have his body gilded afresh every morning, deserved the title of Fl DoradO-the Man of Cold'-not because of his wealth or of his connection with gold mines, but because his system actually secreted gold. He was. says this credible au- thority, the victim of q disease called metallitls, his blood being permeated with a powdery gold, as were bis eyes. pose. ears and all of his mucous mem brane. The pain caused by this oondi- tion was SO intolerable that it is be- lieved to have been the cause of his sui ~fda

Mir Anthony Hope Hawkins, the author of The Prisoner of Zsnda,
 proves, on the closer acquaintance which hls visit to this country is now yielding. Do lees attractive a man than a. a writer Ills public read ings from bis own works seem to give his large audiences perfect sat i.iacliou; aud in the busy course of friendly dining through which he has been put since be landed, he has shown himself the kindlIest md most unassuming of guests of honor.
 Mir. Hawkins is now thiTty-four years old. He began life as lawyer, and in 1892 he made a vigorous but unsuccessful canvass for a Liberal seat m Parliament. While waiting for clients, he began to write stories, He mace his way out but slowly at first; he had been writing four pr five years before he achieved a pro nounced success in The Prisoner of Zenda. The Dolly Dialogues" fol- lowed and confirmed his popularity. It IS an interesting fact that while he IS visiting in this country an American magazine will begin the publication of a sequel to the story which was his great success. Me Clure's Magazine for December will contain the oreninG chapters of Rupert of Heutzau." a new Zenda novel which continues the history Of the love and adventures of Rudolf Rassendyll and Princess Flayia. They were extremely engaging peo- pie as they presented themselves in "T he Prisoner of Zenda'; but those who have had the privilege of read ing the new story say that they are still more engaging in it, and that the series of adventures through which it carries them is one to keep readers sitting up all night. The story has been Illustrated for Me Clure's by the authors personal friend, Charles Dana Gibson.

Major T. c. Jordan, commissioner of immigration for MaricoPa county, on Saturday commenced suit in the district court at Phenix, for the recovery of S1,2OO, salary due him for two years services as such com missioner. An effort was made al the last session of the legislature to have this law repealed, but it proved futile, as the testimony of the legis- lators was to the effect that the law was a good one, and its operation WAS beneficial. While they were willing to permit the law to remain in full force, the boards of super yisors Of most of the counties have refused to allow compensation for services to the commissioners. YsE- spai county paid its commissions for time, and appropriated small sum for publishing write up of the mineral resources of the county. For the amount expeaded, the coun- ty received the most extensive write up it has ever received, an edition of 5000 copies being printed and cir- culsted.
 Speaking of the suit ss we'll as the operation of the law the Phenix Republican says:
 The boards of supervisors in q majority of the counties declined to pay the commissioners salaries, and co-operated 10 oppose the law, and cause it to become sdead letter. The commissioners, in the mean time, have continued to perform theIr duties to the best of their abilities, hamPered, as they are, without compensation or expense money, excepting in 8 lew cases. These men have already done excel lent service for their respective counties, and have materially aided in advertising the territory far and wide by their contributions to the governors reports of 1896 and 1897. 1t is but just that they should b. pald for what they have done. In Major Jordan's case, his work foI the coznty has resulted ID much good, and is well worth the amount asked for 1t.
 Now that political and persona prejudices no longer blind the iudg ment of those who formerly opposed the law. it is hoped that wiser coun. sells will prevail. and thst the pro visions of this act will be upheld No law was ever passed by an An Eons legislature that will result ir such ultimate good to the whole ter ritory as the one in question.
 ~fhe one thing that Arizons needs above ali others at this time IS to be properly advertised, SO that capital may be induced to invest II our incomparable resources and people may seek homes upon the fertile acres that now lie idle in this land Of perpetual sun shine. One good way to do this advert sing i, to enforce the immigration commis, sion law.
 Members of the bar generally are of the opinion that the law is s good one; at any rate, the supreme court has never decided otherwise and the fact that it IS not in force, and that the commissioners have thus far been permitted to go nr. paid, is not to the credit of An. zona."

Another confession has turned up m the Durrant case. This time an old Texas farmer uamsd Utts, kho was in the jail with Blanthef al Meridsn. Texas, has just discovered the alleged confession. The con. fessed murderer is none other than Blanthe-, the murderer of Mrs Langfeldt, of San Francisco. who committed suicide in the Meridian Jail. The authenticity of the con- fession IS doubted, but i it is genu. inc, Chief Lees, of San Francisco. says it Is untrue, as Blsnther vas in Georgia when the Immsnuel church murders were committed, and he did not go to San Francisco until after Durrant was in jail. It is startling the number of people 2 ho have confessed to these murders. while that query, "Who struck Billy Pattersoni" goes laundering down the ages unanswered.

What was a substantial, we'll occu-
pied row of business houses on High
street last Monday evening, was a
heap of smoldering ruins when the
sun rose Tuesday morning. The
stores of Martin & Toay, w. J. Pen
hallegon, Miss Wearne, milliner,
Brewer d Penhallegon and John r..
| Toay, are no more where they We're
when the TRIBUNE of last week was
! issued. All of these are totally
swept away and the vacuum left on
our main business street spreads
gloom over the city.
Parties returning about | o'clock
from an Odd Fellows gathering at
Dodgeville, were the first to discover
an odor of smoke on entering the
central part of the city. Fred Wv
ian and Fred Penhallegon, of the
party, made investigation, and found
the basement of the double store of
Brewer & Penhallegon to be on
Z.
Vivian procured three or four hand
grenade eXtinguishers, and entering
the burning building by force at the
rear, dashed them into the fire,
almost invisible because of the
denseness of the smoke, but with
little effect. The smothered flames
had evidently been eating at the
floor of the store, as they soon there
after burst up into the store.
The city hall bell was vigorously
rung by Mr.. Vivian, but before the
denisens Of the town could be reused
from their slumbers and get to the
scene for action, the whole interior
Of the building was mass of fire
and smoke. From this store the fire
soon attacked the Allen building on
the west, occupied by j. r. Toay as
a grocery store, and the Francis
building on the east. The buildings
of w. j. Penhallegon and Martin d
Toay on the east, and Of DR.. j. II.
Vivian on the west,were soon aflame,
and it seemed that the entire block
from Vine to Chestnut street was
doomed. But by the heroic efforts
of a few, supported by an irregular
"bucket brigade the fire was
checked at the Vivian building,
which, though considerably dam
aged, was saved. There being but
very little wind, and that from the
east, there was not much difficulty in
preventing the fire from crossing
Vine street to the Fielder building
on the east. The wooden cornice of
the city ball, on the north side of
High street. opposite the Allen
! building, took fire several times, and
/ but few had hopes that the city
property would escape; but it did.
An ordinary stream Of water turned
upon the fire within reasonable
time after its discovery would have
eXtingui-hed it, and at any time
within an hour the flames could have
been kept within the building where
they started by two inch stream Of
any kind to apply. Following is
list of losses estimated and amount

tanned at this writing:

Miss Kate McIlhon Dead.

| When the TRIBUNE last week men,
toned the illness of this young lady,
il was without thought that this issue
would bear the sad record of her
death. But thus it is Thursday
evening her condition changed for
the worse, and Friday morning her
pure spirit tluttered out upon the
breeze that fans the shores of Para
disc.
Deceased was a native of Mineral
Point, having been born here about
3S years ago. As child and woman
she was among the best known and
most loved in the community. and
her sudden demise saddens many
homes, and the widowed mother
brother and sisters, have the conso-
lation of knowing that they have the
sympathy of Il large circle of friends
who, from personal knowledge of the
worth of their daughter and sister,
can the better estimate the magni-
tude of their loss.
Miss Mcllhon's main life work had
been that Of a teacher in our public
schools. And this work she did faith
fully and well, winning the love and
respect Of her pupils while ably dis
charging he duties as instructor. 1t
was therefore fitting that all school
work should be suspended during the
hours of her funeral, that her sor
rowing associate teachers and pupils
might attend.
The funeral on Monday morning,
with services at st. Paul's Catholic
church, was one of the largest and
most impressive ever known in the
city. Rev. Father O'Keefe's sermon
was eloquent and appropriate; gra-
cious tribute to the virtues of the de-
ceased, full of hope and comfort for
the mourners and of christian admo-
milton for all hearers. The song SER
vice was we'll adapted to the solemn
occasion and admirably rendered
expressive of tender regard for the
departed sister, and consolation to
her heart-sore friends.
