4 ODE TO CORONER SPRING.
. Jack Spring,
The dear little thing,
Is out for an office once more.
He would sit on the dead,
At so much per head,
For boiler work makes his hands sore.
~
There's trouble ahead
For New Castles dead,
For John weighs two hundred and
seven;
II he sits on them right
They'll be crushed out of sight,
Yes, literally mashed into heaven.

PATRICK FAHEY'S HOAX.
Patrick Fahey, that cadaverous. ema-
ciated, consumptive-lookin individual
who halls from the Twelfth ward, is a
practical Joker OF distinction and merit
When he sets out to score a point at
the expense Of a friend he usually
makes bulls eye and never hits out
side the target. He is possessed Of that
redeeming quality so rare in practlca
jokers, that he will take what he sends
without complaint. The Wayfarer is
told that cne of the friends of Mr.
Fahey, a, man whose family is strongly
opposed to the use Of malt and arden
spirits, has been victimized by the con
tractor, and is still endeavoring tC
make his peace at home. Mr. Fahey
called up the three brewers by tele
phone and ordered each OF them (
send a quarter Of beer out TO mis- tenn
perance friends home; making fret
use OF his friends name in giving thu
orders.
One Of the beer wagons stopped il

a third beer wagon drove up. Tn

This valley produced 3,5OO boxes of oranges, lemons, grapefruit and tan gerines last year, about doubling its production of l996. There are 800 acres planted in oranges in the Salt River valley thus far. and the success which has attended he industry will result in the planting of many new groves this spring. Of the SO0 acres about 300 acres are nov in bearing, and the others will soon begin to produce. The varieties of oranges grown are about equally divided between the Washington navels and seedlings. There the fruit ripens earlier. as q rule. by two or three weeks than it does in California. and Arizona oranges have often been the first to reach the eastern market. It is frequently the case that they are placed on the Thanksgiving table of the remotest eastern city bv the Arizona shipper New York Post.

TWO FIRES IN PRESCOTT. Loss, St5,oOo Believed To Be the
 Act of an Incendiary,

Prescott. May 9.-At , o'clock Sun day morning fire was discovered in Gregory X Smiths grocery store. The fire had made good progress before the alarm was given. The fire department responded promptly, but before the flames could be controlled the Gregory X smith building and the old Elite restaurant were burned. The Elite was being fitted up for saloon. Greg ory X Smith lose their entire stock. The loss is estimated at Sl5.OU. there being only s5,OOO insurance. The burned buildings were frame and were east of and adjoining Bashford's Bur mister company's building.
 Early this morning the rear of opera house Was discovered to be in flames. Those first at the fire say that strong fumes of burning coal oil were in the air. The fire burned the rear end of opera house before it was controlled. Both fires were undoubtedly of incen- diary origin. The motive is not known. The loss on the opera house is estima- ted at &j00 and insurance will cover loss

NEVADA'S DANGER

A party of basque province sheep
herders just passed through Ogden
en- route for Winnemucca, where they
have been engaged as sheep hetders.
In Ogden they we've interviewed by
the Standard, which says:
Some time ago a party of about 20
Spaniards passed through Ogden Ell
route to Nevada, where they will
herd sheep or enter some other line of
work equally as severe upon their
mental faculties. Following these
there came through Yesterday "a more
of these copper-colorrd bull fighters,
and they also are bound for Nevada.
Winnemucca being their destination.
They were full of war talk and had
many fairy stories about the prewess

And they laughed imrnoderately, so
much so that wonder was expressed
at their simplicity.

And so on, and they wondered why
the people at the Union depot did not
look more stricken at their numbers.
1t was a reminder Of a story of an old
Maine sea captain who ran a mer-
chandising vessel down to MAINTAIN
zas, and who was urged by an old
Spaniard IN the island to prevent
war, because Of the unexpected fatal
consequences to America. Finally
the Spaniard asked in a pompous
manner, what the United State would
do if Spain should land a body of
10000 of her best drilled troops in
New York City? The old sea Cap
tain answered laconically, Call out
the police force and arrest the whole
outfit and that settled the whole
argument,

Amcrlcan play Take london.

LONDON, April 16.--American plays and
players are now dominating London attrac-
tions disseminating the native managers,
some of whom are unable to thrive. The
much-vaunted 1.-The Conquerors" has been
expurgated of it's offensive action. But in
spite of this it is generally condemned by
the critics as needlessly exploiting the
basest motives. Some sympathizing Ger
man spectators, when Alexander says to Ju-
liza Nelson, 1.-The French women are ours, :"
shouted: This is disgraceful," and stalked
out of the stalls. The admirable coterie of
the st. James players are said to be unable
to put their hearts into the repellant char
acters. The St. James Gazette appeals to
the censor to cancel the license Of the play.
The Belle OF New York. although the
book is declared TO be of the flimsiest de-
scription, promises TO become the season S

newspaper praise it has received and the
dash with which the American girls. Dan

eulogizing old glory and the union Jack,

An Indiana Poet.
Chicago Post


From Warsaw, the Mount Helicon of the
Indiana muse we have received a fascnat-
ing poem recalling the destruction of the
Maine. Owing to the stirring news from
washington we are unable to publish this
poem in full, but we cannot resist the temp
tation OF reproducing two specimen stanZas,
not only as an indication of the war feeling
i'll indiana, but in illustration of the poetic
methods which, through the influence of the
Eagle lake coteI.ie. are devasting the State
After rehearsing the nautical Preparations
for the night in Havana harbor the poet
proceeds:
"A breeze swept on the deck,
Telling the tidingS of the day.
But not mentioning the terrible wreck
That was soon TO lay within the bay.
'As the sun rose fair and bright.
While the news spread in every land,
And as we gaze on the terrible sight.
We stand with all outstretched hand"
In few minor respects this poem is dis
appointing. We admire the bold metaphor
of the telltale breeze revealing the news of
the day, but discreetly yet unfortuna tely.
declining to plunge into the future and we
laying within the bay But the conclud-
ing line is trifie weak. What are we hold
ing in our outstretched hand? The sword
or the olive branch? 1t occurs to us that
the poet missed his opportunity unless he
was DESTROYS of not inflaming the Indiana
spirit. In this respect the Indiana bard falls
inlmeasurably below our own Frank Put
man, who strikes ringing blows III warlike
meter and stops at nothing short of an
initiation for Spain and Il monument for
Billy Mason. We do not believe the War
saw poem will completely satisfy Indiana
sentiment. despite its many poetic excel
lencies-not the least of which is the alb
sence of dialect In one line only-the
fourth--doeS the poet descend to the popular
Indiana language, and this Is so neatly and
gracefully done that it enhances the merits
of the verse.

The book for Puccinfs score was supplied

Italian dramatic literature, and Illica has
offered many lsbretu before this. The mu-

ing contrast to Pietro Mascagni. whose
family neither by tradition nor by surround

Puccinis great-great grandfather. who was
born in l7I2 filed the Office of maestro oil
capella to the republic of Lucca and was
composer of reputation; he wrote requiem
for eight voices which was included IN the
Vienna Musical Exhibition Of 1892. Antonio
Puccini. born in 1747. and his son Domenico,

Thus 1t NAV be argued Giacomo Pucclni

consideration 1t is evident that the produc-
