 MT. Ricaby, who was in the city yes terday for the purpose of acQuainting the public with the fact that the merry comedy, What Happened to Jones'" is coming next Wednesday night, relates the following amusing incident: He says: "A few evenings ago I reached a southern California city little late and being anxious to at once see the manager of the theater, asked the hack driver where I could find him. The driver told me and then asked, What show is coming now?' I an- swered, What Happened to Jones' He immediately replied, Why, he left here last night for Los Angeles and am driving the mack now in his place. Of course I at oncs realized that the driver was talking about some one bY- was filled with travelling men there was very hearty laugh at his ex- pense. It would surprise you, con- tinued MT. Ricaby, how many ludi- erCus mistakes and funny remarks come from misinterpretation of this odd title of our play"

HERE FROM ALASKA.
Robert Duncan, Jr., of inc TreadweiI
 Mine Visits PhOeRix.

Mr. Robert Duncan, Jr., who is con- Iected with the famous TreadweH gold mine On Douglas island near Ju- Eeau, Alaska, arrived at Hotel Adams yesterday. MT. Duncan will spend a month in the valley for his health, which was impaired through exposure for seven days cn the rocks near Dyea- He was a passenger on the steamer Corona, which was wrecked at that point some time ago. MT. Duncan con- tracted a severe cold which he was un- able to throw eff in the north. He likes the climate here, and he thinks he will be benefited by the warm sun shine.
 Asked in regard to the Treadwell mine, MT Duncan said: "The battery of stamps at the Treadwell is now be- ing increased to S80 by the addition of 520 new stamps. This gives the Tread we'll the largest stamp mill in the world. The values in the Treadwell ore run about $2.50 to the ton at the present time, and are recovered by plate amalgamation and the chlor1na- tion process. The facilities fer hand ling this ore are exceptional, which is necessary in the successful operation of such low grade property The Tread we'll is an English proposition, and the stock is. open to the markets of the world. I believe the latest quotations of Treadwell stock was S30 a share, which is considerably above its par value"
 MT. Duncan says that people are still rushing to the Klondyke, and many are coming out with no gold and without

money enough to take them back to this country.
 No other business is imposed upon like mining" said he. "All classes of men become miners when great strike is made. At least they think they are miners, although some of them could not tell a nugget of metallic copper from a piece of gold It is true that some of the tendarfeet were successful, but they were few, Those who are go- ing into the country now are experience ed prospectors and men who are pTac- 1tical miners. The ether fellows arc running down the country because they did rot find anything, and they will do the country Q good service if they kaep away men like themselves. Alaska is a very rich country, and I believe that it will now enjoy a steady, substantial growth, with occasionally a new strike, just the same as in any mining coun- try. It will always be a good place for mining men to operate"

THEATRICAL ENGAGEMENT FIX TRAORDINARY. MIR. JONES' WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.

Flushed with one of the most sue

 coast, the comedian, Harry Carson
 Clarke, comes to Phoenix next We'd
 nesday. October 19, stopping off one
 night, enroute east, and there can be no doubt that out people will give ham welcome of which he and the city may we'll feel proud. Although
 young man, he is one of America s most popular comedians and in his new play, entitled, What Happened to
 Jcnes,' he has made thousands laugh.
 It is said to be one of the merriest, brightest and most refined pieces pro duced in years, and more encomiums have been lavished by the San Fran cisco and Los Angeles press upon play, star and company than have been ex- pressed in years upon a similar attrac-

HAY MEASUREMENT.
The Town of Tempe Splits on vari-
 Ous Methods.

Tempe and the adjacent rural com munity is divided on the subject of measuring hay for the purpose of as- certaining its weight This dispute has been raging there for some months and partially obscured south side in- terest in the Spanish war last sum- mer Even now the apathy in Tempe regarding politics is the result of pre- occupation in the hay measuring ques- ton. A suit is now pending in dis trict court growing out of different methods employed by baling outfit and an alfalfa grower in sizing up a lot of hay.
 All this confusion arises from a null tiplicity of rules furnished by various farmers almanacs and other useful hand-books.
 Strangers are often drawn into the swirling vortex of Tempe public opin- ion. A travelling man who knows more about hardware than hay re- turned from a visit on the south side and related his experience. He said J. F. Roberts, a cattleman, had bought a stack Of hay from a ranchman. By means of the unaided eye MT. Roberts thought the stack contained about ninety tons. The ranchman offered to guess 1t off at 105 tons. Then they agreed to precipitate trouble by meas uring it.
 MT. Roberts asked the travelling man if he was a good enough mathematician to figure out the real number of tons. The travelling man said he was abrup. and accurate in figures, but he had forgotten all hay measuring rules A farmer drew a printed formula from his vest pocket. It provided for the multiplication of the length, breadth and distance over' the stack, to- gether, and a division of the product by 512 The travelling man ascer- tained by the application Of this rule that there were 290 tons in the stack. The hay was a single cutting from a sixty acre field, so the yield was much greater than anybody in Tempe had ever heard of. MT. Roberts did not criticise the rule or the calculation, but that was mora hay than he needed. The travelling man was induced to re- main in Tempe over night and revise his calculation. He worked until midnight, assisted by the interested the same and would have been satis- fcatory but for the number of acres in the field, which was curiously not a part of the data.
 The next morning somebody dug up a different rule By this one the trav- cling man ascertained that the stack contained ninety tons. The crowd agreed that these figures more nearly represented the usual yield of alfalfa, one and a half tons an acre. After the work had been proved Nil. Roberts and the ranchman agreed that this figure about split the difference and the trade was cOnSummated. The traveling man left with an impression that the stack had really been guessed off after all.

THE HOSPITAL FUND.
Business Men Are Rushed and DOn'f
 Get Out.

The committee in charge Of raising funds to maintain the Sisters hospital is composed of business men, and the increase of business, together with the attention required at this season Of year in receiving the fall goods, leave them scarcely any time to get out and so'icit subscriptions. As soon as the rush ceases the committee will bsgil. it's work in earnest In the meantime all persons interested in this worthy cause may send their subscriptions to The Republican office and their sigma lures will be secured afterward by the committee. A $1O and s5 list will be started for the benefit of those who cannot afford larger amounts.
 The following are annual subscrip- lions for five wears.

RATE or ILLITERACY.
Something Shown By the r1ariCopa
 County Registration.

Captain John Gray, who is engaged at the county recorders office in com bling the returns of registration ofl- cers, at the close of business yesterday had reached number 4,240. Additions will be made to this number. from sev- eral precincts on the south side, from the Buckeye country, Wickenburg, the Garcia mine and Mcdowell. It is not likely, though, that enough more names will be received to increase the registration list greatly over that of two years ago, which was 4,53O. In view of a known large increase of pop rlation this is somewhat surprising and entirely unaccountable.
 But if the registration does not in- dicate a great increase of numbers Captain Gray has drawn other infor- nation from it which ought to be much more gratifying. From the beginning of the registration he has kept the number of blanks on which the name of the voter is signed with a cross. Out of the 4,24O men registered there are only ninety who could not write their own names, 2.1 per cent. This may be taken to be the rate of illit- eracy among adults in this county, though it is probably little less than the rate among the entire population. Any way, it is an excellent showing. The lowest adult rate given by Mulhall in 1889 was DOT cent, Norway and Sweden; the highest was S5 per cent, Russia; the next highest, 72 per cent, Spain. Some of the population rates of illfteracy given by the census or 1890 are: The lowest, Nebraska, 3.1 per cent; the highest. New Mexico, 44.5 per cent. The latter nigh rate IS attributed to a large foreign speaking population and for the same reason Arizona's rate was 23.4.
 But from Captain Gray's figures the foreign speaking element in this coun- ty has not injuriously affected the rate, for of the ninety illiterates less than one third are MeXicans. It is doubt full after all if the exceptionally low adul. rate shown. 2.1 per cent, one per csnt less than Nebraska's population
