THE ROUGH RIDERS.
How They Look to New York
 Newspaper Correspondent.

The New York Commercial Adver- tiser, in an article written by a staff correspondent at Tampa presents the following points concerning Colonel Woods regiment of rough riders, in which Arizonians are so greatly in terested:
 In picturesQueness certainly they are without competitors. Their uniform of earkee, with yellow cavalry stripes and yellow collar on the officers suits, has the real Indian coloring. In compo- sftion the regiment is already pretty well known. Troops A, B. and are recruits from Arizona, D from Okla homa, D, F. G and H from New Mex ico, and K from the east and L and M from Indian Territory. These last troops are Indian in name rather than in looks, for the troopers in them come from the five civilized tribes, many of them from the Cherokees, the whites of the red men. Real Indian features among them are far less ire uuent than at the wild west show, though quite as frequent as they usu- ally are in the vicinity of western cow boy tnwHs- Elsewhere there is an in- finite variety in the command. I and K troops, from the east, are young faces, with here and there features oi much @.delicacy and refinement. The men from the New York clubs are rather older. The western regiments e1,s more like veterans, with hardened features and wild boards. Their horses are mustangs, mostly, and their mules as fine a set of animals as one often sees,
 The list Of names in the rough rid CTS Is long. There are Major Brodie, Q thorough soldier; Lieutenant Ca pron who has an important artillery command at Port Tampa; Captain Me Clintock, who ran a press bureau in tha southwest, but gave it up for war; Lieutenant Hal Sayre Harvard, '99, of Denver, who has a name in the west as a hunter and who made a name for himself at Harvard as editor and con- tributor to the Harvard Advocate; Guy Scull, Harvard, '98, who besides being 8 crew man has also handled a pan, has contributed to the magazines, and is soon to publish a book of his own short stories; David M.

THE SACATON AGENT.
Who the New Appointee Elwood Had
 ley Is.

When news of the appointment yes terday of Elwood Hadley to be agent of the Pima agency at Sacaton there was widespread inquiry as 10 who MT. Hadley is. MT. Hadley is a resi- dent of Arizona. He came here from Indianapolis something more than a year ago. He invested extensively fD land near Arizola in anticipation of the construction of a reservoir which had been projected. That having failed of consummation or having been delayed, he engaged in the general merchandise business at Arizola and is now postmaster there. MT. Hadley is a gentleman past middle age, has had a wide business experience and enjoys the respect of all who know him.
 He owes his appointment to two cir cumstances, one of which is that he Is a resident of the territory, and the other is the support of influential friends in the east. It is curious fact that a residence within the state or territory in which the agency is located is held by the senate to be an indispensable qualification, for no non resident appointee to an agency has yet been confirmed. Whether the re- publican members are proceeding in this matter under the home rule plank of the St. Louis platform or whether they believe that a resident is better acquainted with the needs and condi- tions of the Indians, has not been ex- plained.

companies ought to have been allowed to have terminal facilities at the Man haitian end of the bridge. But there can be no two opinions as to the man ner in which the employees of the com panies and the members of the police force do their work. What would happen if the men chosen to keep in order and direct this mass of confused, impatient, tired and hot humanity were not equal to their task is appal- ling to think about. Let but one of them lose his head for a minute and the consequences might be too terrible for consideration. Up to now no ac- cidents have occurred. The men sta tioned at this end of the bridge de- serve each of them recognition and re- ward for their level headedness. In the midst of the confusion yesterday they found time to be courteous to women and children, and to direct each passenger to his or her car.
 Seen from the top of the Tribune building the trolley cars running across the bridge at dusk present re- markable sight. Only a yard or two apart, they have the appearance of great fiery, insects crawling regularly along the path. When it is remem- bered that each of these objects is crammed with human beings on their way home, and that there is an unin- terrupted procession of them for hours, one obtains pretty good idea of the enormous daily traffic between the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn.

ON THE BRIDGE ENTRANCE.
How It All Looked From an Elevation
 Above It.

New York, June 24.-A visitor to New York now will be missing one of the most remarkable sights of the city if he fails to see the Manhattan ap- proach to the Brooklyn bridge in the rush hours of the day. In spite of this he would better not go there if he is at all subject to giddiness. The scene is about as complicated and busy a
 one as any in the world. At 6 o'clock last evening the rush was a little greater than at any time since the trolley cars have been running across the bridge And yet there were no ac- cidents. Opinions may differ about the question ] as to whether the trolley

But there is something to be done beside making the roads good. They should be kept so. Yesterday a wagon came to town laden with seventy bales of alfalfa.

BABYs SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with ScrofuIa Sores.
SAT the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofuIous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. s. s. WRoTEN, Farming

Most persons after middle age al
low themselves to feel and show ad-
vancing age without protest, except
an inward shrinking that advances

best way to keep young is to restrain
interest in what is going on in the
world, and in the affairs of young peo-
pie, and to exercise parts of the brain
and body that have not hitherto had
their full share of the work. Set the
brain to studying new language, or
new science, and the body to riding
bicycle, or to learning to swim, or
row, or take physical training of some
kind. A pleasant glow of body and
mind will follow such effort, and ad-
ded happiness and interest in life will
be experienced.
