Their Visi, to Flagstaff lf-The Work to Be
 Done on the Territorial Building.

On Monday Governor N. o. Murphy, G. w. Vickers, auditor, and F. J. Ben nett. citizen member of the board of control, visited Flagstaff for the pur- pose of inspecting the Territorial Re- form school, or, as the last legislature made it. the Home for the Insane.
 In the afternoon, in company with d delegation of Flagstaff citizens, the board made thorough inspection of the building and they unhesitatingly pronounced it. SO far as completed, the best public building in the territory. In the evening the board held a meet ing. at which it was concluded to do such work as was necessary for the preservation of the building, and with that end in view, the permanent win dows and doors will be put in. the roof painted and such grading done as will permit through drainage from the walls.
 The board has adopted wise course, and there will be no unnecessary work done or useless expenditure of money which the completion of the building for a purpose for which the territory does not at present need, and should the coming legislature desire to turn the building to other purposes. it can be done at small additional expense.
 Messrs. Vickers and Bennett re- turned to Phoenix Tuesday. Governor Murphy remained ptil Wednesday, when he went to HolbrOOk, returning to Phoenix Thursday. The governor expressed himself us having enjoyed the trip. which was made more pleas ant by the courtesies extended him by

THE DEBUTANTE'S BOUQUET.
Begun AS u Compliment, 1t Has Now Be
coma "A Nuisanca

Begun AS u Compliment, 1t Has Now Be-
come Nuisance.
w hat used to be a pretty and signih-
cant compliment, debutante's bouquet,
has gradually degenerated into a positive
incubus. Time was when girl who
in her two hands all her floral tributes in
honor of the occasion. If by any chance
she could not wear or carry all that had
been sent her, the somebody whose
flowers had been sighted had every rea-
son to feel aggrieved. AS years went on.
t thhopgh many somebodies had to feel
sibility for the debutante to bear the
burden of all her bouquets. They waxed
not only in number but in size. 1t be-
came the vogue to have them stacked up
on stand designed especially for the
purpose, which, placed behind the girl,
formed an effective background. Still the
GUS, and instead of one stand, several
were necessary. Nowadays no debutante
dreams of making use of the flowers sent
her, even as a background. The bou-
quets are heaped upon piano tops, mantel-
pieces: book shelves and every other
available space, being confined not to one
room or even to one floor, but over
ten law that the several lunches should
be kept Intact makes it impossible to ar
range the flowers with true decorative
intent. AS one guest put it after leaving
recent presentation:
''Such masses of heaped-up flowers re-
mind me of nothing so much as iu-
neral" The incubus of the thing is
shared by the sender as we'll as the
debutante. 1t is the duty of everyone
who knows a girl about to make her de-
but to send her flowers, but there are
times, especially when one considers the
fate that will befall them, when he would
willingly forego the privilege. About the
only persons who derive any real benefit
or even satisfaction from the debutante
bouquet habit as practiced today are the
inmates of hospitals-the ultimate des-
tination of most of the flowers that ap-

JEWELRY AT THE MINT.
Large Sum Paid Annually by the Govern
ment for Old Gold ind Family Plate.


ment for Old Gold md Family Plate.
Shortly after the holiday season the
mint is overburdened with deposits of
gold jewelry for melting, brought by per-
sons unable to keep the valuable trinkets
or jewelers. disposing of patterns out of
date.
From 1873 down to last year the
amount of money paid out by the govern
ment for old gold and plate annually has
increased steadily. The high-water mark
was reached in 1891, when the govern
ment paid out for plate and jewelry ST.
O35 ITO. In 1873 the amount was $774,-
21S, and it reached the million mark in
1880, and two million mark in 1886 and
for the year 1891. when it went to four
millions, it was between three and four
million dollars until last year, when it
fell to $2,S2O,2S4. The PHILADELPHIA
mint melts nine-tenths of the plate and
jewelry presented to the government
Payment is generally made in gold when
jeWelry is of that metal.
Zlegler Jones, of the weighing depart
ment of the mint, said yesterday that the
principal metal received was gold, as the
mint did not recoin silver, but simply re-
fined it 900 fine. ''There are" he said
many people who deposit jewelry at the
mint which is very valuable, but out of
style. Many of them are stirred up i'll
the matter by reading of robberies, and
realize that the keeping of old jewelry is
a temptation for servants and sneak
thieves: Only this morning poor Rus
sian left heavy gold medal to be melted
1t was given him for bravery in his native
army. The net amount turned over to
the astonished foreigner was $50.
by far the greatest amount of metal
is sent to the mint from jewelers., dentists
and assayers. AS a rule, we do not ac-

found over broad stretch Of country, de-
spite the efforts of the cattletnen to ex-
terminate them. The dogs average
about 100 pounds weight. They have the
head and shoulders of bulldog, but the
build of IA timber wolf and wolfish char
acteristcs. In color they are ashy gray,
with long black hairs interspersed.
Like coyotes, they are little afraid OF
man, and will follow horsemen for miles
through the timber, not hesitatinE to at
tack footmen. They occasionally visit
fatehes, and many instances are kn6Hff
where domestic dogs have joined the
bands. The dogs secure their food by
killing sheep and calves, and even full
grown cattle are known to have beer
pulled down by them. Colts are their
especial game.
Thomas Alger, resident of Nutrioso,
il responsible for the statement that ami
mails bitten by the Wild dogs, if not killed
Ivy then, on the spot. die within a few
days with all the symptoms of strycllnine
poisoning. He cites an instance where he
was able to verify the local impression to
that effect His house dog was set upon
by several wild dogs. Alger drove them
away, and the dog appeared little the
worse for his battle Yet the animal died
in two days with all the signs of strych-
nine poisoning.
The timber dogs are continually getting
fetrer and bolder. and the residents Of
eastern Apache county are organizing to
hunt them down.
