THE CARTRIDGE BEER MUG.
Steins Made From Empty Shells That
 GIisten Like Gold.

Of all the war relics which have del
 uged the country the new cart-idgt beer mugs are the most unique A ifashionab- Q New York jeweler has dis covered that large cartridges Ien3 |, themselves to this purpose, and nas pre- pared several attractive designs. The cartridge beer mugs are made from
 empty siX-pound shells. They arc
 somewhat long in proportion to itheir
 height, but this proportion gives them
 a charac cter of their own. The cart
 ridges are a little more than three
 inches in diameter at the base and slightly narrower a5 the top, where the shell was placed. The opening is large enough to drink from comfortably It is the same size as the hole made by those siX-pcundef shots in the sides of tho mugs glisten like gold. The mugs have been made after several designs, some Of which are simple and others consists Of three bands of burnished silver. The brass is so thin that it would be likely to cut the mouth in drinking The first silver band is, ac- cCrdingly, placed flush with the top. Inc other bands hold the handle in place. The handle is also of burnishe, slIver and quite simple. Some of the new mugs are arranged with detach- able handles, so that the cartridge may be used as vase. The only ether dec oratiOn is a silver band on the front setting forth the history of the cart ridge. The inscription records the name of the ship.-New York World

PHOENIX, DECEMBER 9. 1898
WE MUST ADVERTISE.


 If the merchants of Phoenix would organize an advertising bureau much good might be ac- complished for the city and the valley. After the holidays thou sands of well-to-do people in the east will arrange to go to a more congenial cline and a great many of them might be induced to visit this region if the proper repre- sentatiors were made. A few hundred dollars judiciously ex- pended this winter would pave the way to well organized movement to bring people to Phoenix another year. There is no winter climate in the world equal to ours, as witness the tes- timcny of MT. Whitelaw Reid, but so long as it's advantages are not known the country over but comparatively few will come here to make win ter homes. We have more sun shine than southern California and the drawbacks to an agree able sojourn here arc fewer than in California. The town is awak- ing to the necessity of municipal improvements and in a short time Phoenix will be a much bet ter town to live in If we could induce a few wealthy eastern families to settle here for the winter season public enterprise would be stimulated and the in Aux of population would soon be satisfactory. The establishment here by wealthy people from New York or Chicago or other eastern cities Of handsome winter homes would be of inestimaDle benefit to all classes of local business. In every town in California where systematic efforts have been made to cater to wealthy pleas ure seekers the result has been satisfactory from every stand point. The merchants and tax payers of Phoenix are standing in their own light by pursuing the policy that holds out no in ducements to this class of peo- pie. It requires time to get this community worked up to the point of action, but The Republi- can has confidence that it's views in this direction will eventually be adopted, and it will continue to agate the subject.

As a rule they listen lnndly, and I feel checred when I leave them. Perhaps that is because I like talking about myself.

FAMOUS WATCH STOLEN.
Lafayette's Gift to Washington Gets
Into the Tombs Police Court.

New York, April "a watch given to
George Washington by Lafayette was
an exhibit in the Tombs police court
this morning.
Charles F. Thompson, who is waiting
trial on several charges, was accused
of stealing the watch from Miss Anna
M. D. Mitchell Of Maryland, who says
that she is a descendant of the Wash
ington family.
Miss Mitchell, VINO is 81 years old, has
been at the house of Mrs. E. D. Gold
borough, 161 Thirty-third street, for sew
eral weeks. Her room was ransacked
on March "a and everything of value
taken from it, including the precious
inherited by the death of her aunt. She
was grief-stricken over her loss, and
complained to the police. She, however,
scarcely hoped to regain it.
Thompson on April 2 was held for
trial on the charge of robbing the
house of Henry NJ. Cross, of 131 West
Seventy-eighth street. A locker key of
the Mills hotel was found in Thomp-
sons pocket.
Detective Davis took this, and, on go
ing to the hotel, opened the locker which
Thompson had hired. He found several
pawn tickets issued by a Sixth avenue
pawnbroker. These he took to the shop
and reclaimed the articles they called
for
One of these articles was the Wash
ington heirloom of Miss Mitchell. The
heirloom is a small gold watch, with a
fob studded with rubies. On the inner
case is an inscription in French, de-
noting that the Marquis de Lafayette
presents this gift to Gen. Washington
as a token of affection and esteem.
Miss Mitchell was overjoyed when she
was informed that the watch had been
found. She appeared at the police court
this morning and identified it as her
property. She also identified Thompson
as the man who had hired a room of
Mrs. GoIdborough, and who disappeared
from the house the day her room was
ranSacked.

RIOTOUS CAROLINA CADETS
Eighty May Be Expelled for Trying
to Drive Out One of Their Number.

Charleston, April 9.-An attempt
made by So cadets to force Sergeant
Major Cantey to leave the South Car
DINA military academy at midnight
yesterday brought on a riot, which was
only stopped by the arrival of 25 po-
lice officers. Cantey, cadet, was
charged with reporting five boys who
broke garrison to attend a dance. The
boys were suspended, but afterward ia
ken back by order of the board of Wis
itors. An effort was then made to
have Cantey sent away, and upon the
refusal of the faculty to do this plans
were formed to mob him if he failed to
leave.
At IL o'clock last night the cadets
crepS to Cantey'S room, but they were
stopped at the door by Superintendent
Coward. They then became so boist-
erous and violent that policemen were
called in.
The board of trustees has been sum-
moned to meet here tomorrow, and it
is announced that at least so of the
cadets will probably be expelled. The
military academy is supported by the
state and has an enrolment of $50. It
is feared that the riot will break up the
institution.
