A PRETTY BAD MIX UP.

1t Was ThriNingly Realistic, but 1t Seems
It Wasn't Art.
The old property man seated him
self on a moss covered practical"
stump while waiting for the play to
begin, and, in response to my ques-
ton, said:
Mistakes will occur and things
will get mixed up in the theatrical
business as well as in any other. l
remember one season when I was
with The Country Farm every
thing real, you know-real COWS,
horses, chickens and all that sort of
stuff. One act was in the city, and
there were real fire engines, cable
cars, ferryboats, policemen, and
such like; good play and took in
money by the barrelful, but hard
work for me; had to buy fresh
vegetables for the cows to eat in
full view of the audience and look
after raft Of other things.
lone night out at GAINESVILLE, o.,
just as the curtain went up, the bay
mule, who appeared in the first tab
leau, kicked the brass cannon used
in the Fourth of July scene He
was powerful kicker, having been
practicing on me for about three
months, and the heat generated by
the striking of his shoe against the
cannon set off the charge, and it
blazed away right among the real
COWS and other animals. The whole
caboodle of 'em stampeded straight
ON to the stage The real chickens
also flew on, and the fire engine
horses likewise naturally charged
in, the racket being right in their
line. The stage hands and most of
the actors rushed on to try to
straighten out the tangle.
About this time a water pipe
burst, and something set off the
thunder machine, and it began to
thunder worse than had ever heard
it before in long and eventful life.
This Jared the snow department,
and the paper fakes began to futter
down pretty lively, while a box of
red fire in the wings caught from
he smoldering cannon wadding and
cast a lurid and ftful glare DER the
general cataclysm, as may call it.
The real Durham bull tossed the
heavy villain on his horns, and the
real old Southdown ram butted the
comic man across the footlights and
back into the neighborhood Of the
fifth row, landing him in the lap Of
his honor the mayor. It was
scene long to be remembered, with
the chickens flying up into the pro
scenium boxes and cackling like
mad, and the orchestra trying to
play the whole thing down with
redhot selection from Wagner. But
we got it all Strengthened out at
last"
But what about the audience2''
inquired an innocent listener.
Wasn't there a panici''
Not a bit Of it. That the funny
part of the whole thing. They were
very intelligent audience, right
up to date on the realistic drama,
and they thought 1t was the first
act. Never heard such applause in
my life. The manager wanted to
repeat the thing every night in
place of the opening scene, but the
author wouldn't listen to it. He
said it wasn't art = Harper's Mag

Catholic Children.

A dispatch from Chicago says that Information was obtained today that Rome just transmitted to the Catholic church of the United States the most significant ruling in recent years bear ing on ecclesiastical matter in America. The decision is as follows:
 1-ChilGren born in America or of for eign parents whose native language is not English, are not obliged, when of ago, to become members of the parish to which their parents belong; but they have the right to parish in which the language of the country-thati is Engl- ish, is used.
 2-CathoIics not born in America, but knowing the English language, have the right to becoming members of parish in which English is in use, and they cannot be compelled to submit themselves to the jurisdiction of the rector of church built for people who con tinue to speak the language of a foreign country.
 The evident purpose is to make Eng fish the language of the American ch urch.

Depleted Ranges.
Range News ]

The closing out of numerous herds, both large and small, in the various range districts of Arizona, gives rice to the question, What will be the out come? Will the ranges now vacated remain unoccupied until the natural increase of other herds makes up the shortage, or will new herds take the place of those now being shipped from
 the tertiary?
 Both methods of ofrestockIng the range will doubtless obtain in the various localities. While ranges Tn the vicini- ty eff the Papago reservation will pro- bably continue vacant, there is now too much promise in the cattle busI- ness for desirable pasture lands to remain long unoccupied. In many saces ranches carrying valuable water rights will undoubtedly be secured by neighboring stOckmen whose growing herds demand additional range and water.
 This epidemic of selling out cattle herds under the temptation of high prices is certain to end in a violent reaction. Present prices are not due to war news or temporary excitement, but arise from a genuine shortage, which all live stock authorities now admit. The pendulum will presently swing back. Many who are now selling out will within year reinvest, and those who have held on to their cattle will want to get more. When available ranges can be obtained, men new to the business will probably embark in cattle raising; for it is the Invariabls rule in human history that when con- modities are high i'll price every body wants them.
 It's a matter for congratulation that | outside of the Geronimo range district, few large herds have been sold outright | in Graham and CochIse counties, and | in Pinal county there is not likely to be greater exodus than was necessary | to relieve the over crowded ranges.

IT IS M'CORD.
He Is the Successful Applicant for Governor of Arizona
 Territory.
Hen. Charles H. AkerS, of Pres cOtt, Nominated for
 Secretary.

The following special from Washing ton to the Phoenix Gazette tells of the end of the agony in regard to the Arl- zona appointments:
 WASHINGTON, May 19.-That which has been looked for for weeks has hap pened to-day. The name of NJ. H. Me- Cord, of Phoenix, was sent to the sen . ate by President Mckinley for governor of Arizona. Along with MT. McCord's s name also was sent that of Cbas. H. Akers, of Prescott, for secretary of the territory, and H. J. Cleveland for agent at the Sacaton IndiBn agency. An op- position of very bitter nature was de- veloped against Colonel McCord by the various candidates for governor of Ari- zona, and charge upon charge has been made against him, both to the presi- dent and Secretary Bliss, but all to no avail The charges were so numerous and so far-reaching in their effects that It began to look as though there were something beside the territory's inter- est at stake, and the appointing power thought it saw nigger in the wood- pile. President Mckinley has personal acquaintance with McCord and regards him as man of good character and ability, and fully four weeks ago de- cided upon sending his name to the senate for governor.
 The three gentlemen will be confirmed at once, as it is known that there is no opposition to their confirmation. Gov ernor McCord wIIl spend day or so in Washington, visiting old friends, and then will leave for Arizona, as will MT. Cleveland. Senator Spooner says there will not be an adverse vote to MeCord's in the senate.
The St. Johns herald., 1897-05-29

Attorney General Wilson has recon sidered his resolution of coming up to this corner of the territory for the pur- pose of regulating the Board of Super visors of Apache county, but has gone to Washington to use his gigantic infiu- ence with the United States senate to defeat the confirmation of Col. McCord as governor of this territory. We pre- dict, however, notwithstanding this weighty opposition, that McCord will be confirmed, and that shortly there after Wilson will be fired from his job as attorney general.

AS THE NEW GOVERNOR

The ominouS growls of the ravenous hyenas which may pick, crunch and munch the inan- cial bones of this hapless territory are even now borne to our ears on the wings of the fever laden desert winds and echo in horrid chorus to the triumphant bellowings of taxless locomotives Let the people groan and he taxpayers flee as from scourge, for the hour of affiction draws near. Save us oh Lord, from Col. McCord
 The above is an article entire from 8 late number of the Prescott Courier, and VIC do not believe it possible that any one can repeat the performance by writing nine lines of nonparell contain ing less sense. To one who did not know that Colonel Rogers, editor of the Courier, was endowed with common, ordinary, hard, horse sense, and gen. erally exercises his abilities in a mild and respectful manner, the above would indicate that he has gone daft. Itis wonderful the influence partisan ship has over some persons. While the HERALD differs from the new governor Tn politics, yet he was our choice, if we were 10 have republican executive and we now say he should be given an opportunity to administer the affairs of the territory without annoyance. We have faith in Colonel McCord that he will act fairly and in the common in terest of all the people of this terri tory. We hope that the antagonistic press and private affidavit makers will have the decency to keep quiet until the new territorial administration com- mits some act that will jus tify public protest. We are glad to notice that the Phoenix Herald, which was very active In opposition to Colonel McCord, has the following post-appointment words to say:
 Hon. M H. McCord was to-day nominated for governor of Arizona by President Mckinley The president has examined the opposition to Mir McCord and has evidently come to the con- clusion that there is nothing in it. MT. McCord is strong and efficient political worker; one who understands the political situation in the territory. and who should be able 10 harmonize the party, which has been divided for some years. As 6 business man aud one well versed in public affairs, McCord is well known and much will be expected of him in the manage ment of territorial affairs. He will have it in his power, as governor, to do much toward the development of our various resources towurd maintaining s tho credit ot our territory, tCwe,

A lively row occurred in the Spanish h Cortes last week while that body was discussing the Cuban vote in the sen ate of the United States. The differ ence was between the Duke of Tetuan, minister of foreign affairs, and Senator Comas. Matters proceeded beyond the point where words sufficed to express the sentiments of the duke, and he thereupon cuffed the ears of the sena- tor, ending with knockout blow which completely tloored Senor Comas. Other senators here interYened, and stopped the row. Later the same day, the duke threw up his job as minister of foreign affairs

Charles Dana Gibson has made a great hit with his Dickens illustrations in the Ladies Home Journal. In the June number we have rare opportu- nifty of seeing what great illustrator can do in one picture with four famous characters in fiction. Mir. Gibson pre- sents MT. and Mrs. Micawber, David Copperfield and Traddles. The long, quaint curls of Mrs Micawber, and the characteristic of her gloved hands as she Hays the case" before David Cop perfield. have been admirably caught by the artist. MT. Micawber, self poised and satisfied. wears a calm. ju- dicial expression as he balances his glass in his hand.

RECORD-BREAKING
Development of the Sugar Beet
 Industry.

Pomona, May 7.-"This is going to be the greatest year ever known in the beet sugar industry in Southern Cali fornia," said Colonel D. E. Teller to- day. He is here in the interest of the Oxnard sugar factories. "There could scarcely be a better season for sugar beets than this has been and promises to be right through to the maturity of the beets. The big Chino factory and refinery will do larger business than any similar institution in the world this year. It will no doubt handy over 10000 acres of beets from the middle of July to the middle ofNovember. That means somthing like S650, 900 worth of beets right there will be prepared to use 2000 tons Of beets every twenty four hours,
 "At Anaheim there are several thou sand acres of sugar beets planted where nothing but sagebrush and wild barley fOurished until the beet sugar industry WAS made a success at Chino. The new sugar factory at Alsmitos will be ready for operations by the middle of July, and that will furnish perpetual mar ket for thousands more acres of beets.
 "Do think tbere will be more sugar factories in Southern California? Of course. This season will demonstrate more than ever before how Califsrnia is the natural habitat of the sugar beet, and you will see several new factories started as soon as Congress settles the sugar schedule in the new tariff bill.H

PIONEER JUBILEE.
COmmemOratiOn of the Arrival
 of the Pioneers of 1S47.
Especial Correspondence.
 SALT LAKE CITY. May IS. 189

SALT LAKE CITY, May IS, 1857.
 Within the next thirty days one of | the most historic spotS-the old cOun- cil House corner-In Salt Lake City, will be adorned with a new building the Hall of Pioneer Relics. The scruC- ture will be a model of the new Part henon of Athens, that noblest and most harmonious of Doric temples, which now, though oyer l,500 yeary old, is still among the best preserved and most complete GreCIan structures of bygone days.
 Unlike the Athenian structure, the Hall of Relics will not be a very costly building. It will, nevertheless, be an exact reproduction of the ancient tenn pie. It's exterior will be pure white, in imitation of marble while the inter- for will be decorated with the jubilee colors-Indian red, sage green and sum- flower yellow. The plans call for structure 85x65 feet. The height of the ceiling will be 9 feet, while the corn ice will be 3S feet from the ground.
 Among the adornmeDts of interest will be reproduction of Sculptor Dal- lin's famous "Signal of Peace," the In- dian figure, which will be placed im- mediately in front of the main entrance to the hall. The model will be an exact reproduction of the statue as 1t ap- peared at the Worlds Fair. It will be constructed of staff, the work to be done by Hugo D. Loeb of Chicago. Consent to reproduce the renowned statue has been secured by the commis- sion from the owner and Mir. Dallin, both of whom are in Europe at the present time.
 The object of the Hall of Relics. as is we'll known, is to be for exhibiting re- lies of pioneer days. The jubilee con- mission has received assurances from every quarter of the interest people are taking in the project and many novel exhibits may be looked for. The mem- bers of the Society of U tah Artists have also signified their willingness to dis play theis choicest brush creations.
 BRIGHAM YOUNG's FAMOUS WAGON.
 Among the objects of interest the Hall of Relics will contain will be the wagon which conveyed President Brig ham Young of the Mormon church from Nouvoo to the site of this city. It had seats at that time running Iengthwise of the bed and was used as 8 council house by the Mormon leaders during the long journey. No vehicle in America has had the eventful eXperl- ence that this one has had. 1t was made in Nauyoo in 1844 and in 1047 was purchased by Brigham Young. After It's arrival here it was used for many years, and in 1881 1t was taken to Arizona by John W. Young, wha had a contract on the Atlantic and Pacific railroad. By him it was fitted up and used as camp kitchen. When his contract was com pleted the wagon was left at ranch on the Zuni river and for many years 1t was exposed to the ravages of the Weat- her and the destructive instincts of the Indians. It was finally taken to St. Johns and has been there ever since, but is to be forwarded to this city to become the most interesting pioneer relic of the thousands that will be on exhibition.

A Peculiar Grave,
TGazette |


 The remains of Edward Schifelin were laid to rest last Sunday on Con- tention Hill, overlooking the town of Tombstone. There on that towering hlli, rich in precious metals and fond memories, sleeping under the shadows of the surrounding smokestacks, silent and breathless as he who first lit the fires of progress in these mountains, rest the remains of Tombstone's real discoverer. His grave is metal shaft, his surroundings are those he loved in life hills barren of vegetation, but rich in silver and gold. Thus ends useful and busy life, man who pur- posely never cast shadow upon the life of any living person, but brought joy and contentment to tue lives of many. What better can be said of man?
