BAPTIZED IN BLOOD.
Charles Gardner Kills Charles BeE-
 son at Spenazuma.

The new mining camp of Spenazuma, better known as Black Rock, was bap- tiZed in blood last Sunday night Charles Gardner shot and killed his partner, Charles Denson. Gardner is now in the county jail, Constable J. J. Putnam having brought him here Mon day evening.
 Denson and Gardner were partners in some mining properties located
 about four mics from Spenazuma,
 which they had been developing. Some two weeks ago Denson went to Globe to see parties concerning the sale of the mines. Gardner and one or two men remained at work on the mines. The mail carrier between Thomas and Aravaipa was in the habit of stopping
 at the Denson-Gardner camp for din- ner. During the absence of Denson at
 Globe Gardner accused the mail car
 Tier and Denson with making way
 with a letter which he was expecting
 with money in it. He drove the mail
 carrier away from the camp and told
 him never to come there again. It af- forwards transpired that the missing letter containing the money for Gard
 Ter was at the Thomas postoffice. | Sunday afternoon Denson returned

 Spenazuma that afternoon. Denson, on his arrival, heard that Gardner was in town and went at once to see him,
 coming up with him first in the street or road. Denscn told Gardner that the
 parties who desired to buy their mines had arrived with him and wanted to
 knew what was best to be done con- cerning the sale. Gardner answered in an insulting way and quarrel en-
 sued, during which Denson drew a six
 shooter and struck at Gardner with it
 twice, but never touched him. Gardner went away saying he would get gun
 and kill Denson. That was in the af- ternocn
 About 10 o'clock that night when Denson was standing in a saloon with his back to the door, reading a letter to friend, Gardner appeared on the outside of the door and without word shot Denson through the body with a
 Winchester rife, killing him.
 Gardner fled but was captured next morning by an officers posse. He had
 a preliminary hearing Monday before Justice Reashau and was held without
 bail for murder.

BICYCLING IN FRANCE.
Most of the Riders are English-The
 Frenchman's Gaudy Suit

Nearly all of the cyclists that one sees in France are English. French
 roads are broad, long, white and glar- in5. Yet every man attires himself by preference in black jersey. The re- suit is that, while the British cyclist varies from dusty to grubby, his French rival never fails in grubbiness, and often. attains to positive dirtiness. The knickerbockers worn are calcu- lated to enhance this impression. They bag shapelessly down the thigh and
 hang in slack folds down the middle of the calf. In the stockings the ire pressible passion for tartans, which affects all French people, breaks out in checks of the most startling pattern. Occasionally a recrudesence of the same exhibits itself on the back of the jersey.
 A further note of color is sometimes introduced by large loose garter, worn like an Africans anklet a little way above the top of the boot. The headgear varies, but that most affected is a large beret, worn hanging over one ear. Few machines in France have brakes, which at first sight gives one high opinion of their riders te- merity; but after some days I began to notice that a Frenchman on a hill was always walking-whether down or up. Certainly they have cause to be fright ened, fer the most ordinary slopes are studded with placards, ''Descente Rap ide,' ''Tournant Dangereux," and the like. Coasting is luxury left entirely to the foreigner; and, to do the author ities justice, no steps are taken to en- force the laws, which limit the rate of riding to eight miles an hour.-Pall Mall Gazette

;ropolitan dailies, classes her as bril- liant brunette, with masses of wavy chestnut hair and the usual equipment of garters. And thereby hangs the tale.
 It appears that a few days ago, when the weather had turned cool and the Staten island mosquitoes were no long fer strong enough to bite through russet leather leggins, Miss Ford conceived Ithe idea of going for long spin on her wheel. She arrayed herself, therefore, i'll a particularly natty outing suit of gray linen, long tan boots, a duck of a hat, and the now illustrious garters. Just as she was about to mount her !foaming wheel she remembered a small Ichamois bag containing jewelry to the estimated value of $500. She ran up- stairs to her apartment, got the bag, fused with it awhile, wondered how she could most conveniently dispose it upon her person, and finally concluded to fasSen it to her garter, where it
 would be safe and could keep reason ably cool. The bag was adjusted ac- Icordingly, Miss Ford issued from the boarding house, mounted her wheel, and set off at rattling pace.
 She had hardly gone a dozen blocks, though, when something snapped, something came down, and Miss Ford, with heightened color, turned around and made hurriedly for her lodging place. Not to put to fine point on it,
 her garter mad betrayed her, and all that part of her costume which depend ed on it for encouragement and SUD- port was disheveled to the last degree. But that was not all.. When Miss Ford reached home and took stock of the predicament she found that the jewel bag had disappeared. Not only had the delinquent garter disarranged her apparel to a very sensational extent, but it had liberated the jewel bag, and Miss Ford, despite the most exhaustive search and inquiry, could hear nothing of it. 1t was gone. It had vanished utterly. And not all the inquisition of which Miss Ford was capable availed to restore 1t to her longing clutch.
 We have always advocated the su- periority of the suspender to the old fashioned garter. It may not be as pretty, or as susceptible of embellish- ment and decoration, but it is safe, steady, and sober. Nobody adorns it with diamonds or other precious stones. Nobody beautifies it with monograms or notices. It is merely a sensible and serviceable bit of gear ing which attends strictly to business and is content with consciousness of virtue. Had Miss Ford eschewed vain righteousness in this matter she would have finished her long run and brought back the jewel bag intact. But no! she must adorn herself with the vola- tile and gaudy garter, and to this inn pulsive thing she tied the hapless jew el bag. No doubt it was particularly dizzy garter, with golden clasp and agitating legend, such as Excelsior" /" for instance; so, of course, the jewel bag got gay No other consequence could have been expected. It got larky and it went off somewhere on a toot. There are limits even to the com posture of jewel bag.
 This story has a moral, but we shall not enlarge upon it. In the presence of Miss Ford's bereavement we prefer to be silent, sympathetic, thoughtful.

A GARTER AND A JEWEL BAG.

"FRONT" IN WASHINGTON.
Hotel Hall Boys with Monumcntn
Gall Who Expect the Guests to
Do Part of Their Work.

The colored front" Of the Washing
ton hotel is like 10 ether hotel hall boy,
white or black, in the United States. He
doesn't hesitate 20 ask the guests TO do
part OF his work. Old stagcrs at these
hotels do not appear to tEiLN il strange,
but folks accustomed to hotels i'll other
parts of the country ere ut first rather
surprised ut the requests made of them
by the colored front" of the Washing
ton hotels. This is the style Of it:
Coin to your room, sir?" asks
front" with card and tray as guest is
about to step into the elevator.
Yes" And then front" banding the
card, says:
Twill you tap on Mr.. Honeycomb's
door and tell him this gemman is down
stairs and wants to see him?"
Your room is 61, and front" knows it,
and he also knows that Mr.. Honey
combs room is GO, and to save himself
trip upstairs he'll bother you to tap
at a strange mans room and deliver the
message.
Or it is: "D'ye know, sir, if Mr. Bull
leyton is in his room? You've just come
down, sir, and there's a gemman here
wants to see him." Sometimes it is:
will you, please, sir, drop this letter
into Mr.. Finnigan's room?" And SO it
goes.
The northerner at first is bit taken
aback. but he soon becomes accustomed
to the situation ard grins at the audaci-
ty of the request. Others tell the COL
ored front" to 20 to the devil. and so
on. The colored "front" doesn't mean
any disrespect. 1t is only his way of
trying to shuttle his work on to others.

Talk at the mess table of the old day
boat one morning at Albany turned on
the fog which hung over the upper
reaches of the river. The night boat

DOMESTIC ECONOMY PUZZLE
She Could Get the Answer, but Still She
Woudered.

She Could Get the Answer, but Still She
Wondered.
A dear little woman up on Capitol
hill married and went to housekeeping
in the most determined manner. She
set to work to keep an exact account of
her expenditures, balancing her books
regularly once a month. One of her
earliest purchases was an ice ticket for
the season. 1t cost, believe, $40.
A month later, in making up her &C.
counts it occurred to her that that SO
should be divided proportionately among
the several months mentioned on the
ticket in order to give to each days ao-
count only the amount of money actual
" expended on that day. Also she
wished to calculate and set down the
number of pounds of ice used each day.
The problem had several ramifications
which have forgotten but, at any rate,
it was exceedingly difficult, and the
housewife covered sheet after sheet of
paper with her calculation. The ar
rival of her husband found her dishevel-
ed and in a state of evident distress.
"What in the world is the NATTER"
he asked. The wife explained.
"Well, can't you get any answer
without that fguring?" be asked. The
wife's eyes began to blink rapidly and
she shifted suspiciously.
ooh, can get an answer, y she said,
swallowing hard-''I can get lovely
answer, but I can't put it in my book
because l can't tell can't tell wheth-
er it's days or ice or money. Wash

USE NO LATTER.
Chinese Shave Frequently With a Wet

Chinese Shave Frequently With a Wet
Towei to Soften the Face.
Considering that the inhabitants of
the middle kingdom use the razor more
than any other nation in the world, it
is passing strange that they never dis
covered the advantages of lathering first,
says the Windsor Magazine. Dabbing a
warm wet cloth on the chin or the scalp
is poor substitute for soap. Hair cut
ting, as we practice it in the west, is
to them call unknown, except in a
few localities where foreigners are
numerous. A traveller when in the prov
inoe of Kwantung sent for a man to
shear his locks, and he began nibbling
away at his scalp without troubling
about such trifing as comb. At the
third snip the man stopped him and
asked him if he had ever cut foreign
er's hair before. Oh, yes. When was
that? Oh, last year, when he cut the
hair of German customs officer who
had died.
But in the matter of shaving there
are few more deft-considering the
latherless way he does it and the fact
that he uses little three cornered soft
iron knife as razor-than the Chinese
figaro. Was not the chief of all his
tribe ennobled by an emperor ages back
for dexterously cieaving mosquito that
had settled on the imperial nose? One
advantage gained by patronizing the
Chinese barber-in the case of Euro
peans-is he doesn't mind coming to
your room every morning and shaving
you before you wash and dress. But the
native also generally waits to be rasee
before washing, even if he has to wait

He shouted out angrily, "There, you

the officer Numbered. "Why don't you
