4 Louisville Times reporter thinks he has discovered a young woman whose shoulders are like marble with out the coldness of marble; like ivory deiicateiy tinted, cream velvet, carved from the leaves of the delicate Niphetos rose, as satiny as the coat of race horse, as sinuous in their turns as a snake, graceful as swan on the water They are simply peaches of the white heath variety, and looking at them we can easily understand how it is that people sometimes become eannibals.

 "That the estimated profit from said printing after all the expenses were deducted for the work and incidentals herewith, was $S,oO0; if the said ap- propriation had been made of which Governor Hughes share would have been $l ,000. Since the adjournment of the legislature, Mir. T. J. Wolfiey or the Arizona Republican, has presented bills for payment at the sames rates as those charged the printing committee < of the legislature, to the various boards for printing their respective reports, with the knowledge and approval of Governor Hughes and with Governor Hughes promise to assist the payment thereof by said boards, but MT. Wolfey has thus far been unable to collect for the said printing although Governor Hughes gives assurance that said bills will be paid later on by the board of control. However, the Tucson Star presented bill for printing the Live stock Commissioners report to the Territorial Auditor for sso0, and has been paid therefor said amount, unbe- ,known to af8ant and Mir. WolAey, and ia the face of the fact that Governor Hughes Knew at the time Mir. Wolaey had 8 bin for the same printing on file with said commissioner, for sS50 No part of the amount received by the said Tucson starhas been paid by Governor Hughes to afiiant or Mir. Wolfiey as agreed, but he has retained the whole thereof for his own use and benefit.

A FOND TRIBUTE.
Sam. 1aVis Speaks of the Prospector as
 He Finds Him.

Of the prospector Sam Davis says in the Chatauquan: ITO the brave and rugged prospector, with his cheap outfit of mining tools, his empty stomach and his hopeful heart, is due the rapid dAvelormenf of the west At the tap of his pick the doors of natures treasure vaults open; but their wealth is not for him. The stock sharks, the speeulators and the promoters rob him of his inter est, and the snow is no sooner sinking from the slopes Of the foothills than the poor fellow is vending his course into new territory. He appears in the rocky fastnesses of the mountains, and, with no companions but his pick and frying pan, is lost to memory. Suddenly comes the news of any discovery and city rises like pillar of flame in the will .derness. Lucky Bill has struck it rich, gambled away his pile and pushed on. The bones of hundreds of the advance couriers of civilization blaze the path ot progress in the west, or moulder in for rotten graves, while in their wake are teeming cities they have founded and the ceaseless murmur of the money-seeking multitude whose fortunes they have builded."

Miss Moore promptly brought suit for

the case will be fought with Kilkenny

He was NANCY, hea-bit thing,

Whose dams meant not maternity.

IN BEHALF OF THE OPERA SINGERS
Benefit Proposed For the Stranded
Company.

NOApdAys
Editor Morning News: There is moth
ing that appeals more to a generous pub
lie, and our people have always proven
themselves equal to emergencies of this
character in the past, than a stranded
company of strangers. Ii is to be regret
ted that we have such a company now
in Savannah L allude to the Oriental
Opera Company, which has been giving
us really acceptable entertainments at the
theater the past week. 1t seems a matter
of some surprise, and l might say regret
also that in view of their financial en-
barrassment, that the two performances
booked for Saturday should have been
called off. l understand that the theater
was crowded at the matinee, and that in
dications pointed to a large audience at
night.
Without the slightest intention. of criti-
cising either side in this unfortunate mis-
understanding, think l voice the opinion
of majority of those attending the
operas given when l say that they were
highly satisfactory. That the troupe is a
good one and should be encouraged.
The object of this communication is to
suggest that the company be invited to
give a benefit performance at the theater
if that building can be had, but if not
then at Masonic Temple.
Let the matter be placed in the hands
Of committee, with the understanding
that the entire proceeds be turned over to
the treasurer of the company for its bene-
fit
l would suggest that the price of admis-
sion be not less than fifty cents, and that
the bill advertised for Saturday nights
performance be given. l believe enough
would be raised to at least enable our
friends to reach the place of their next
engagement. w
