 ] THE WORK OF A TRUE ARTIST. : A. F. MeSsinger, the artist, has made i novel departure in photography and one which few photographers are able to successfully initiate. It is in the coloring Of landscapes, scenes in the valley, residences and groups or indi- vidua1 portraits. His latest work is a large, beautifully colored picture of | the Phoenix fire department, a picture which has attracted general attention wherever it was shown. A scene along | the Crosscut canal with the Camel Back mountain in the background is one of his best productions. The col bring of the water, the perfect natural Of l,n fn1 md bO ir1fO -n1,iT no desert before the mountain is reached is painted just as nature has made it. The coloring of the Camel Back is ex- quisite, and the whole scene almost breathes the rare perfumes Of the gIeasewoCd and sagebrush. These eX- amples of Mir. Messiuger' ability as an artist are worth special praise, and this MT. Messinger's friends are not backward in bestowing upon him. ! GLOBE A LIVELY CAMP George E.

 HEADLINE WRITERS. -According i to the instructive telegraphic head | lines Of "our esteemed contemporaries,
 the Herald and the Gazette, an inn portant military change unoticed by the Army and Navy Register has taken place. The First Volunteer Territorial infantry has been incorporated into the regular army under the name and l style of the Fifteenkh infantry, Col Myron H. McCCrd commanding. It is true that the telegraphic dispatch dec orated by the aforesaid headlines does not say in so many words that such 9 reorganization has been effected. Tn 1 fact, it does not say anything at all about the First Volunteer infantry and Col McCord, but then any thinking headwriter would readily conclude that since the dispatch described the Eff teenth infantry as having been brought from Arizona and New Mexico, l it was originally the first Volunteer infantry which was raised iI part in i the same two territories. The head
 writer is 6 journalistic adjunct whose importance is not always comprehend cd It is his business to bring cut information which writers and cor
 respondents studiously try to conceal.
