ASYLUM IMPROVEMENT.
The Amusement Hall and Dining Room
 Almost Completed.

As an improvement the new dining room of the territorial insane asylum carries with it so many advantageous points that to fully appreciate the building it must be seen, and the ne cessity for it has been so apparent for so long a time it seems strange that the construction was not before under taken.
 Heretofore, the asylum being di- vided into four wards it was necessary to have dining hall in each, with a large number of attendants and wait CTS, separate equipments in the shape of dishes and service, each dining room furnishing separate waste which in the aggregate amounted to considerable in dollars and cents in the course of year, although perhaps hardly noticeable while going on, and notwithstanding the fact that every leakage was carefully guarded against and every rule of economy exercised.
 The new dining room has been erect ei just north Of the main building and separated from it by a distance of about 900 feet. The hall is 40xS0 feet inside clear. The foundation is deep, of solid rock with brown sand stone capping, three rows of solid StCne furnishing a support to the floor ing which is capable of sustaining a load or weight ten times greater than it could possibly accommodate on its surface. The building is of brick, the flooring of native pine, with ceiling of Oregon pine, the lower inside fin i5hed in plaster with fine sanded face. The flooring is finished in liquid granite, the ceiling and inside woodwork in glistening oil, giving it DaImost mirrOr-like reflection.
 At the north end of the hall is a half circle stage built on. of brick, well lighted by two windows, with pine floor, in which the carpenters have deftiy arranged an easy working trap,' through which the fairy may rise or the villain disappear Twelve windows furnish light for the room by day. and six chandeliers, three in a TOW, will illuminate it at night The roof is strong and substantial, shingled in redwood, and ventilated i'll accora- ance with the latest ioeas on the sub ject of air currents.
 On one side of the hall is another wing or offshoot of brick, with a ce- ment floor, nicely arranged and fur nished with steam cooking appliances. From this room all the tables will be supplied. Opposite to this is another brick wing for a pantry. To this room will be returned all table dishes, refuse, etc. These rooms are 14x19 feet, the latter with a direct connec- ton to the sewer.
 There is ample room for 300 persons to dine at one time in the hall without crowding it in the least, so that the ITO patients now there will have plenty of elbow room.

PHOENIX IN LONDON.
Gladstones Funeral Described by One
 of Our Home Ladies.

From a long, interesting letter writ ten by Mrs. W. E. Deity of this city, now in London. The Repubrcaa is permitted to make the followfng quo tations relative to the funeral of MT Gladstone:
 Yesterday we went to Parliament hall where the remains of Gladstone V ere lying iii state. There was noth- ing but the coffin to be seen, because, as we were informed, decomposition had set in. Up to 3 o'clock, 160,000 persons had passed the coffin, and " hen we passed it was calculated that 2oe a minute were viewing it. It was 3 wonderful sight, such plain. sim ple coffin, made in his own village of unpublished wood, with cheap brass handle, but, oh, the mass of people thousands and thousands waiting, waiting when we went in. showing the homage given to such grand old man. Traffic had to stop on streets around Westminster Abbey on account of the immense crowds of people.
 To-day we went to the abbey. The scene was impressive enough to make one weep, and the music was too mag nifcent to be described on paper. It was grand and soothing in it's sOlem- nifty.
 We could not get near enough to see everything that was to be seen, but We heard many things relative to inn mediate events and to past history.
 One touching scene was described in our hearing by person unknown to us, but who evidently witnessed it. As the coffin was lowered the Princess Of Wales and the Duchess of York both kissed Mrs. Gladstone, the elder princess putting her arms forward preventing the illustrious widow from attempting the lowly courtesy usually given to royalty. Then the Prince of Wales and his son, Lord Salisbury and the other pail bearers, one after an other, spoke a kind word of consOla- tion to Mrs. Gladstone, kissing her hand as they left her.
 There were no flowers at the funeral, which surprised nearly every body, as it was a we'll known fact that he had great personal love for flowers. Some one near me remarked that his temper could be told any time by the kind of flower he wore, and that a red blossom in his coat-particularly a red carnation-was a danger signal and signified that he was on the war path"

ufactured in this city and the cost to the asylum was s4.75 per thousand Total cost of brick about $250 The stone was quarried and hauled by the patients and furnished no item ot cost beyond the few tools necessary of purchase all covered by an expenditure Of about s75. Up to date the cost of the building has been about $2,250 and the entire cost when the last finishing touch has been given will come within $500 Experienced judges say that s5,000 would be low figure, and it is very doubtful if the territory could have acquired such a building at any where near that amount of cost, Ob- taining for the money the same perma- nency in results.
 This new dining hall practically selves the question of room in the main building for a long time to come The four ex-dining rooms will ac- cOmmodate at least sixty additional patients.
 One of the principal economical features of the new hall enters in the sewing of food. Instead of four, there W i'll be but one wasteway. There will be one general supervision, and every article of food will pass from one source and the overplus will return to the same. The percentage of saving through this arrangement will itself pay for the building in a few years.
 When the meal bell rings the pa- tients will form in two lines in their wards and march from the main build ing to the hall After meals the weather permitting, they will again form in line and march around the grounds before returning to the main building, thus giving a much needed exercise to stimulate digestion.
 Altogether it is one of, if not the most, creditabIe additions to public building ever erected anywhere, and the authorities are to be congratulated upon the accession, while the superin- tendent of the asylum, Dr. Hamblin. and his assistants, who have so ably seconded and carried out his plans, are deserving of all credit as well as the thanks of the taxpayers of Arizona.
 There will be grand opening some evening, either before or just after the Fourth of July, due notice of which will be given, together with the pro- gramme, when everybody will be ln- vited to inspect, criticise, praise or ccndemn and at the same time eat a bite, take a sup, and if so inclined, en- gage in the whirl of the dreamy waltz with some of the flowing haired lassies who reck not whither, thither, hither or hence.

ing up scandals in which the names of prominent people are implicated. It is Sir Hamilton Cuffe with whom, in his capacity as solicitor to the treas ury-a position corresponding to that of district attorney in the United States-it therefore practically rests, Vi hen persons have been guilty of some crime or other, to determine whether they should be prosecuted or not by the government.
 Now since Sir Hamilton has been In office there have been quite large number of cases which should have been prosecuted criminally by the state prosecutor, but which were hush ed up through his good will.
 I need only cite the case of Lord and Lady Haldon's son, who, in civil suit, gave written confession of his having raised money on note to which he had forged the signatures. yet who was never prosecuted crlml- Inally for the offense
 The jury in the Sykes money lending case brought in verdict practically charging Lady Sykes with forgery. ct no step was taken by Sir Hamilton to prosecute her, and had not Lord William Nevill returned to London, and shown himself about his accuS- toned haunts to such a degree as to bring about a cry of indignation in the public press and threats of attacks in parliament on the public prosecut- Iors office for the immunity accorded to Lord William, he would never have been prosecuted and convicted of for eery. Indeed, it was not until num- Der of weeks after he had been prac- t;cally convicted of forgery in the civil courts, that Sir Hamilton instituted criminal proceedings against him.
 There are not merely scores, but hundreds of analogous cases which never come to the ear of the public, but which would bring lasting disgrace upon honored James, were it not for Sir Hamilton's discretion, which has LOW received reward in the shape of the star and ribbon of the Order of I:ath
 The French government is negoti- ating for the purchase Of the Potockl palace on the Avenue Friedland, at aris, with view of utilizing 1t as a residence fer Frances royal guests during the exhibition there. This res idence. which was built in 1882 by MT. Jules Reboul, the distinguished arch1- tect, is one of the most magnificent in aris. Before drawing the plans he passed two years in Italy studying the great Italian palaces.
 The style is Louis XlV, and from the fact that the bronze door cost $40,- O0O and the staircase S120,OG0, the splerdor of the interior may be imag- ined. There are accommodations in the stables for forty horses, and all the stalls are of marble, with silver lit tings. The garden, which is very large, IS laid out in English style. Ismall Fasha offered s5,O00,O00 for this palace ten years ago, but his offer was indlg- nantly declined.

DEATH OF OLD TONEY.
One of the Old Stock Tires of His
 Trials and Quits.

Many old-timers in this city will re- call old Toney Ferris, and as they read the story of his sad ending will no doubt extend the sympathy that all ways goes out to the sufferer who can no longer bear the burden of his pain The following is from the Tucson Star:
 ''Old Toney Ferris is dead. He died at his own hands by shooting bullet through his head. The tragedy was enacted at Hart's ranch, eighteen miles south of Tucson, on Thursday A note was received at J. K Browns ranch yesterday from Toney inform ing them where they would find his body. They went over to the ranch one mile and half distant and found him corpse, and pistol lying by his side. The deceased was 69 years of age, native of New York He has lived in Arizona about thirty-fve years. In early days he was a ferry nian at Wickenburg. He afterwards lived in Prescott, where he was pros porous and owned some property. De- ceased had lived in Tucson about twenty-five years. He has for years been afflicted by a cancer on his lip winch gave him much pain and made life miserable. This no doubt led him to end his existence. The death of Ferris is the third suicide committed on Hart's ranch during that many years. A. c. Malin, the undertaken, went out yesterday and brought in ths- remains, which are now in his un- dertaking parlors. Toney Ferris had many acquaintances throughout the territory who will regret to learn of his death.'

The great annual spring parade at Berlin was remarkable for the fact that it furnished a demonstration that a reconciliation has been effected be- tween the kaiser, his sister Sophia. and her husband, the crown price of Greece, with whom he has not been on speaking terms since she became con- verted to the Greek church several years ago without his permission.
 During the recent war between Fur key and Greece it may be remembered that the kaiser openly espoused the cause of the sultan, and it was Ger man officers, that is to say generals loaned by the kaiser to the sultan, who defeated the Greek forces under the command of the crown prince.
 The latter joined with his wife in those days in declaring that the kaiser had shown himself infinitely a more cruel and barbarous foe to Greece than the sultan. The reconciliation is due to Queen Victoria and Empress Frederick.
 General Baron Dresser, whose death has just taken place at Warsaw, enr joyed the distinction of having been the very first high official whom Elm perCr Nicholas removed from office on Lis accession to the throne. The gen eral was throughout the reign of the late czar the chief of police at St Pet ersburg and rendered himself execrated by the severity of his administration and by the brutality of his rule.
 One of his most memorable bits of |despotism was when he deported to Si- beria the we'll known clown Turof, popular favorite throughout the do- minions of the cZar, and famous as con- stituting the most attractive feature or the CiniSelll circus.
 The way in which Turoff got into trouble was as follows: Having had his attention drawn to the fact that the paper ruble note was still on the downward track, notwithstanding all the efforts of the imperial government to raise it's value, he determined to make it the subject of one of his wit ticisms. Accordingly, a few days lat CT, he trotted a well trained and know ing looking hog out into the arena of the circus and caused it to carry sun dry objects in obedience to his orders in the most approved canine style.
 
 The audience was delighted, and in- sisted on an encore, whereupon the clown threw a paper ruble note into the pig to fetch it to him.
 Piggy trotted up to the note, sniffed at it disdainfully, and, finally, not withstanding the vituperations and ob- juratiOns of the clown, deliberately turned his back on the note and trotted away, it's snout uplifted with the most unmistakable expression of porcine contempt.
 On seeing this the clown shrugged his shoulders, and, addressing the pig, exclaimed:
 "Well, after all, you are not to be blamed. If a statesman like Wishne- gradski (the minister of finance) is un- able to raise the ruble note, surely one cannot expect poor ignorant pig like yourself to do so."
 Of course shouts of laughter greeted this sally, which within few hours became a subject of intense smerriment $. ~et - a. u

to all the inhabitants of St. Peters. burg !,
 The minister of finance, however. was indignant, and on the following day the clown was summoned into the presence of General Dresser, chief of the city police, and ordered by him to jail for period of three days
 On emerging from prison the clown determined to have his revenge, all the more as the public had expressed their firm conviction that he would have the last word in the matter. Accordingly he waited until one night when General Dresser with his family was present at the performance in one of the boxes. As soon as he saw the chief of police the clown drove a whole troop of trained pigs into the arena, and made them squat down all Tn row on chairs sa Thereupon he explained to the pub lie that during his imprisonment he had attempted to pass away the time by learning German, and then, with the object of showing the audience what progress he made, he turned to the pigs and addressed them in that language.
 Commencing with the smallest pig. he exclaimed, as he tenderly patted it's snout, You are only a little pig, but you," he added, turning to the next one, 'are gresser (the German patois for bisger). and you." turning to the third, "are also gresser. while you. turning to the fourth, .are a very big pig"
 The audience fairly roared with laughter but General Dresser consid- cred that he had been grossly and pub- licly insulted, and immediately left the building.
 The same night the clown was ar rested, and was we'll on his way to Si- beria before the late emperor heard of the story and insisted on his liberation. de Fontenoy in Washing ton Post.
