| convalescent state. When he re.
 sponded to the call on May 12 he saw at once that Rosson was suffering from
 gastrO enteritis, and after his death intended to make out the death cer- tificate giving cause of death as such. '.Dr..F D. Bullard substantiated the facts given by Dr. Day. When mak- ing the chemical analysis of the stom- ach and intestInes, he found nothing to cause death. In fact, when he ex- amined Dr. Rosson for admission to the National Union some months ago physique.
 This closed the evidence, and the jury, after about ten minutes delib- eration, returned the verdict given above.
 Senator R. \. Bulla was present in the interests of the various insurance companies, and E. A. Meserve ap- peared for Mrs. Rosson. Other inter ested parties were W. J. Frederick of the Travellers Insurance company, Guthrie & Guthrie, National Union; c. P. Dandy and R. N. Bulla of the FraterEal Union. MT. Meserve said that Dr. Rosson carried S20,000 in in- suranoe from 1882 to the time of his death. including s10,0o0 in the Ma sonit Aid society. The balance of the $34.000 was taken out since April. 1S9! !"

THREE PER CENT LOAN.
Phoenicians Have a Chance to Suh-
 scribe to the War Debt.

Phoenix has not been forgotten by the treasury department in the matter of the popular loan. A lot of sub scriptiOn blanks were received at the postofIice yesterday. Those who wish to become creditors of the nation may obtain blanks there or at the Phoenix National bank. They may invest S20 in the loan or $500. One may sub
 scribe for as much more than $500 as he pleases, but by taking that amount or less he will be more nearly sure that his application will be consid- cred. for the government has deter mined to make it in every sense pop ular loan and so prove that this bond issue is not made in the interests of capitalists, as opponents of this feature of the war revenue bill charged. This is the most direct appeal to the pa triotism of the people the government has ever made. There is nothing in the rate of three per cent to allure in vestors, especially those of the west,
 where money can be loaned on abso- lutely good security for more than twice that rate of interest Since tho bill became a law there have been several inquiries at the postofice re- garding subscriptions, showing that patriotic sentiment is just now a stronger emotion than avarlce.

SUSPICION WIPED AWAY.
4 Corcner's Jury Finds hat Dr. Ros-
 son Died Naturally.

The many friends in this city of the late Dr. R. L. Rosson will be pleased to learn that the inquisition into the circumstances of his death entirely re- moves the suspicion of suicide raised by agents of companies in which he was heavily insured. The Los An geles Times says regarding the finding:
 We, the jury, find that Dr. Roland Lee Rosson came to his death on May F from gastro entecitis' The above verdict contains more than the mere fact Of the announcement It means that the family of Dr. Rosson will have smooth sailing in the recov- cry of $34000 insurance money, and the evidence before the coroner's jury yesterday tends to show that it was not death by suicide or foul play, as was asserted at the time. On May II Coroner Campbell was notified that D1. R. L. Rosson. living at No. 612 South Flower street, had died sud- denly after securing 34,000 in insur- anee from several fraternal orders, all within the past year. A demand for investigation wa; made on the cor Oner, who impaneled jury, viewed the remains. held an autopsy and delivered T.. D. Bullard professor of chemistry of the college of medicine, University of :. California. Some five weeks have passed since that time. Coroner Campbell has investigated every sus- picious circumstance connected with the case and summoneu witnesses to appear before t-le jury.

 'Dr E. V Day, who assisted in the autopsy and chemical analysis Of the stomach and intestines, told how he had submitted them to ten different processes. testing for mineral and vegetable poisons. He did not find trace of either, notwithstanding the examination was Of the most thorough and scientific character.
 "In the afternoon Dr. w. s.

About o'clock on the morning of May 12, a son of Dr. Resson had reused him, saying his father was dying. Dr. Philip immedi- ately responded and reacehd the house within the next thirty minutes. At that time Dr. Rosson was in dying condition, and perfectly unconscious.

Most middle-aged persons remember well when cOrnbread was served upon nearly all tables in the south and west at least twice a day. Sometimes it appear ed in the form of "hoecake'' or batter bread" and again in ''pones," says the Richmond Dispatch. It was par excel fence the bread of the negro, and every man who served in the confederate army was full graduate in the use of it. Now the darkieS eSchew it when wheat bread is to be obtained and upon the italics of thousands of southern and western whites it never appears at all. while others continue to use it only for dinner.
 Now, why is this? Surely, cornmeaI is as it ever was. Those who sincerely, but probably mistakenly, believe that water ground meal is better than the product of mills turned by steam can always find supply of that in most country. There is no trouble about the meal, but we doubt whether the art of cooking it has been preserved. The high toned colored damsels who are turned out of our public schools are not the adopts that our old Aunt Dinahs and Aunt Peg gys were. No self-respected pan of . dough would be conjured into shape by such unskilled hands. And then we may seriously doubt whether cornbread can be cooked in stove as well as in an open fireplace. The Indians laid thier doughcakes between layers of forest leaves or upon the hard ground and cooked them in the hot ashes. Hence lash cake.'' a very luscious product, in- deed, when one has whetted his appetite for it by a long days hunting. The hoe cake was so called because it was orig inally baked upon hoe-that ever-ready and useful instrument of agriculture which is to be found upon every planta- don. But later on cooking utensils were manufactured which took the place of the humble hoe. So, too, shingles were used whereupon to place the dough while it went through the process of becoming a well-done ash cake.

SIXTY YEARS A SOLDIER.
A Phoenix Man With Military Rec
 ord to Be Proud Of.

Phoenix enjoys the distinction of being the home of man with longer war record than any other private sol dier in the world. He IS Andrew Barry. who holds a discharge from the government showing that he has given his country sixty years honor able and continuous service and de- serves we'll of the republic. It seems
 wonderful that any man should keep
 himself fit for active military duty through so long period. Supposlng that he entered the service at the age of twelve, and he would have
 been most precocious war
 rior. at the time of his dis
 charge he would be seventy-two, an
 age far in advance of that at which most men not only want to make tnelr peace with men, but have begun mak-
 ing provision for eternity. MT Bar
 rvs case is the more remarkable TOT
 the reason that he is hardly past hfty,
 so that his military life is ten years
 longer than his natural existence The
 honor Of the government was bestowed
 upon him in this way: At the tune the
 civil war broke out he was young
 man living in Ohio. He was also
 member of the o. N. G., and went out with his company under call of the national guard for sixty days service which was faithfully performed.
 At the end of this term the guard wasn't needed any more. The reDei- lion was on it's last legs and the militia was discharged. In making out NIT. Barry's discharge the regular army blank was used. That did not con. template days" service, but years clerk wrote sixty in the blank and MT. Barry who had really seen little of military life, went forth with a record which made the four-year vet
 erans hide their heads in shame.

COULD RUSSIA TAKE INDIA:
Expert Says No European Power COul
Do So Singlehanded.

Incidental to the question of Russia s pos
sessions, present and prospective, in China,
and the outcome of which may be wsr be-
tween Russia and England, the question
looms up, Gould Russia take Inla:' ii is
discussed by Col. Won Biebflerstein. Il Ger
man officer of ability, who has made spe-
cial examination of the subject. Promising
that Afghanistan is the buffer state :hlt
separates the areas of British and Russian
influence in Asia, Col. Ven Biebers.cia tells
us that Russia has about 10000 troops imme-
diately north Of Afghanistan in Turkestfn,
which is Russian territory to all intents.
She has rail communication with the Cas-
plan sea which extends to within 24O miles
of the Afghan fortress of Herat Russia
therefore, he thinks, could seize the fortress
long before the British could reach it, and
could mass 10000 troops in ana about it
within two months.
But then would begin the 700 miles march
through Afghanstan over higa mountains
which would occupy approximately three
months. An immense amount of stores and
ammunition must be carried with the army
and large cannon could not be taken a all.
Moreover, the line Of march must be pro-
tected, and the army in cons q, uence dimn-
ished and, in short, Russia could not reach
the borders of India with more than two
thirds of her original army
To oppose this army the British cou]d
bring up nearly equal number of Indian
troops and still leave 10000 for The main.e-
nance of British supremacy in india In

Then. too, they would have several lines

French Decoration Presented to Sister
Marie Therese at Tonquin.
The French troops at Tonquin were
recently called out in parade, and while
the soldiers presented arms they wit
messed an unusual sight, namely. the
presentation of the Cross of the Legion
of Honor to a woman. In the history
of the few women who had received
the Cross Of the Legion of Honor it
would be hard to find drawer career
than that of Marie Therese, the French
Sister of Mercy, who has received the
decoration at the hands of the COVER
nor of Tonquin: At the age of 20 wears
this woman received her first wound
in the trenches at Sebastopol. She
was again wounded at the battle of
Magenta. Later she followed the flag
of her country still further and minis
tered to the sick and dying in Syria,
China and Mexico. She was carried
away from the battlefield of Worth
wounded and suffering, and before she
had recovered she was again perform
ing her work of mercy and love. On
one occasion a grenade fell into her
ambulance; mindful only of the wound
ed men she seized it and ran with it
for 100 yards or more. She herself was
severely injured, but the lives of her
soldiers were saved by her heroism. "
