A Popular Arizonian.

Speaking of the appointment of Hon. N. o. Murphy as governor of Arizona, the Washington Post has the following:
 Hon. N. O. Murphy. who was for the second time appointed governor of Arizona yesterday was seen at the Normandie last evening. He was ap- pointed to succeed Myron II. McCord. who was named for the governorship of the territory by President Mckinley after very prolonged and hot fight among several aspirants, Governor Murphy being d warm supporter of Me- Cord. The latter resigned his office to take command of a regiment of troops raised by himself.
 ''The new governor is so well known 1 in Washington that an extended de- scripti0n of him is not necessary. He is one of the broad minded. big heart ed. amiable and forceGul sort of men that predominate in the west. His 1 genial manner makes him friends everywhere. He was member of the Fifty-fOurth congress. where he did splendid service for Arizuna. but he was never beaten for congress, as was stated in a local paper. nor for any other office.
 His former administration of the governorship of the territory of the territory was in every way satisfactory and his appointment now will please the people regardless, of party. for he counts some of his strongest personal friends among the democrats.
 Governor Murphy is d native of Maine, bu, in early life taught school in Wisconsin. He went to Arizona, however. when it had but few hun dred inhabitants, and has been potent factor in its development. A brother. Frauk Murphy, is considered the most progressive man in the territory, and is one of the wealthiest citizens

With adequate systems of irrigation these so-called arid re- yions- would blossom and be- come as fruitful as the garden spots of Europe" says the Los Angeles Ex- press.

Harper's Weekly contained the fol- lowing regarding the Rough Riders; Wm. Tudor, 31 Brimmer street, Bos- ton. is collvcting funds to supply the Rough. Riders with hammocks, mos quito-netting, abdominal bands and other requisites to warfare in the tropics. The Riders come from all parts of the country, and represent all sorts of folks. from New York clubmen up to full-bloodcd Indians. As they come from no state in particular, they are no ones special care, and the only things they seem absolutely sure ot getting in sufficient quantity seems to be ammunition ane advertising. Who ever their press agent is, there Is no disputing his extraordinary efficiency. But advertising, with all its virtues. does not take the place of cholera bonds in the tropics, and it is well that some one is making business of pro- viding the Rough Riders with some thing else than notices"

PASSING BOGUS CHECKS.
Two Men Arrested in Boston Who Gave
Their Residences as Worcester.

Two young men who claim residence
in this city are under arrest in Bos-
ton, according to stories printed in yes
terday's papers, on the charge Of pass
ing worthless checks. The men gave
their names as Arthur B. Greenwood,
1T Chandler street, and Albert J. Bar
bour. "a Southgate street. They OBJ
tanned two suits of clothes, valued at
S24, from Samuel Weiss of so Hanover
street. two silver watches. valued at
s23, from Solomon Cohen, 100 Merrimac
street, and two umbrellas, valued at SO
each, from Philip Pearlstein, for which
they gave checks that afterward proved
worthless.
The police were first appraised Of the
matter when a clerk from the Weiss
store tried to cash the check at the
Boylston bank. The clerk was held un-
til the police were notified and the
proprietor arrived, when a description
of the men who passed the check was
gained, resulting in their subsequent
arrest.
who the men are is not definitely
known. No such name as Albert j.
Barbour appears in the Worcester di-
rectory, and no individual Of that name
lives at "a Southgata street. Whether
the Greenwood in question is Arthur B.
Greenwood who formerly conducted a
drug store at 1T Chandler street, is not
known.
Greenwood, the druggist who former
~ lived in this city, gained consider
able notoriety some time ago, in bring
ing suit against a local man for alien
ating his wife's affections, and was
later sentenced to the house Of correc-
ton for drunkenness.

A MUELLER SUSPECT.
His Picture Sent in From Sterling, Eut
TarbelI Says It's Not the Man.


Calvin K. Colby. constable of Ster-
ling Centre, N. Y, has found a Paul
Mueller in his town. Yesterday Chief
Of Police ]. M. brennan received let
ter from Colby, enclosing the picture of
a man arrested in Sterling and who is
thought by Colby might have been the
nuch-wanted Brookfield murderer.
In his letter he states that the man
in question Is a tramp who bears a
striking resemblance to the much
wanted Paul Mueller. The scars on the
mans head correspond, and the fact
that the tramp objected to being photo
graphed strengthened Colby's suspi-
cions.
He also states that he sent picture
of the man to Deputy Sheriff W. z.
Tarbell of Brookfield, but received no
reply He went to some expense hav-
ing the mans picture taken, and would
like some recompense for his trouble.
The picture is that of man who looks
capable Of committing q crime similar
to the one for which Mueller is wanted,
but Deputy Sheriff Tarbell says it Is
not the picture Of the alleged muir
derer.
The man admitted to the officers
when first arrested that he had worked
in Massachusetts, and while his ap-
pearance may have changed to some
extent since last spring, Chief brennan
thinks 1t would be good plan to in
vestigate the matter further.

the War of 1872.
Another Of Worcester's venerable in
habitants was located by a Spy man
yesterday afternoon. Mrs Hannah
Adams, who resides with her daugh-
ter, in the house at the rear of % Ma
pie street, will today celebrate the an
niversary Of her 93d birthday. The old
lady is still able to attend to the duties
of the household and is quite CONVEX
SAINT with the affairs OF the day, owing
to daily perusal of the newspapers.
A proof of her wonderful vitality is
shown by the fact that last December
she made a visit to her old home in
Gray, Me, where she was born.
Mrs Adams came to Worcester 20
years ago and for a number OF years
after her arrival attended Sunday ser
vices at the First Universalist church.
She remembers making visit to Lew
iston, Me, when what is now quite a
prosperous city only then consisted of
three hibitations, one of Squire Lowell,
another of Col. Frye, the father of
United States Senator Frye, and the
third the residence of Squire Reynolds.
She has a vivid recollection of the war
of 1872
The parents Of Mrs Adams died
when she was very young and she re-
sided with her eldest brother, Benja-
min Smith, father of Gen. Inland
Smith, president of the organization of
the Army of the Potomac, until her ar
rival in this city. OF her family Of six
children only two are now living, Lo-
renzo B. Adams, Trenton, N j., and
Mrs. Hannah s. Gray, with whom she
now resides.
The latest death that occurred in the
family of Mrs Adams was that of a
son, Silas L. Adams, of the Mountain
View farm, West Gray. Me, which
took place last July. He was well
known among Worcester people, a
great many of whom spent vacations
at hts farm.
