Jolly Nellie McHenry will present for
the first time in this city her lyrical
comedy "A Night in New York at the
Metropolitan Theater next Thursday,
February 10th. Miss McHenry IS we'll
known to our theater goers and has
been seen here in the past in her COM
edy success "a Night at the Circus"
"a Night in New York. is said to be
the most laughable hit in which she
has appeared. 1t is from the pen of
H. Grattan Donnelly, author Of NAT
ural Gas" "a Night at the circus" and
other successful comedies, and is de-
scribed as his funniest play effort. 1t
has, we are assured, more plot than the
conventional farce comedy and relates
to New York life, a field of comedy
broad and deep and Offering many OPP
portunities for the introduction of orig
inal music, pretty songs and catchy
dances. The story of the play is in
three acts of fast and furious fun. Miss
McHenry has a dual role of the Peerless
Peri, Queen of the vaudeville, and Miss
Henrietta the quiet, dE<nure country
girl. She is the life and soul of the
piece, although her supporting cast is
an exceptionally good one. Her actions
while disguised as a demure, country
maid, are inimitable and involve no
end of laughter. The second act takes
place at the French ball at its hight in
the Madison Square Garden and is full
Of life, color and animation. The COM
pany is a large one and among them
are John Webster, Tony Williams, VIM.
Hafford, Billy Barry J. Hays, Miss Mai
Raymond, Miss Mildred Connors, Miss
Viola Raynore, Miss Rosa Crouch and
others. Seats will be on sale at the
box office of the theater tomorrow
morning.

WHAT AN ARIZONA EX-GOVERNOR SAYS
The Taxpayers Are Saved S2s.000 Ansually There's No Chance for Peeulat'on. Says
 Ex-Cov. Hughes. Democrat.

The democratic press and the demo- cratic territorial platform, each are somewhat wrathy in their ideas of re- forming territorial institutions, espe- cially making target of the board of control. advocating its abolishment at once by the next legislature. The Tue son Star, democratic paper and pub lished by ex-Governor Hughes, u dem- ocrat, comes to the front in defense of the maintenance of that institution, and backs up hi, argument with the following sentiments:
 Those citizens who believe the board of control is not good thing for the territory and who made specially of it's condemnation during the cam paign should specifically state where this board is injurious to the taxpayer of the territory. Let them consider the following facts:
 The creation of the board of control abolished twelve commissioners. three secretaries and treasurers. as we'll as some other sinecures. in all not less than eighteen officials, every one of which were receiving salaries or per diems. and all the commissioners mile- age. amounting in ali to more than $25,0O0 annually. All of the work of these commissioners and their secreta- ries and their subordinates is done by the board of control, with two ap- pointees. The citizen member of the
The Coconino sun., 1898-11-26

amounts tO n tOtal cost to the teffltOfI not to exceed 5000 annually. The au- ditor and governor are salaried off cials and receive no extra compensa- tion as members of the board.
 ''The objection that has been urged that the centralization of all these ofli- cial duties in one board constituted AS it Is today gives the governor too much power. This is not valid objection. as he exercised much greater power under the old regime than now. for under the old system he appointed the commissioners of four distinct boards. also their secretaries and other subor- dinate>, every one of whom was as much under his control and subject to his removal as the auditor and the cit izen member of the board. The gov ernor exercised more power, inasmuch as he formerly appointed this large ar- ray of officials, and now but one. the citizen member of the board. as his au- ditOr is an ex-officio member of the board
 "This board of control can and does perform every duty these respective boards performed in not to exceed ten days in each quarter. The saving to the territory is not less than S25.OW annually. Again, if there is any pecu- lation or dishonesty of any kind in the management of the territorial institu- tions it can more readily be discovered under the board of control than if fif- teen or more officials were responsible"

Preservation of Meat.

The general opinion on the preserva-
ion of meat is that the decomposition
of the blood is the cause of much of the
trouble experienced in keeping meats
in a fresh and wholesome state. A DAN
ish scientist gives some points on the
preservation of this important article
of food. The methods of killing the
animal. according to his theory, are
greatly at fault. The animal must be
stunned, not killed, and instantly the
ready assistant with sharp knife cuts
to the heart and opens the ventricle.
This allows the blood to rush out, COM
pletely clearing the veins. Then a solu-
ton of salt, depending in strength upon
the length of time the meat is to be
kept, is thrown by a powerful pump
through the uninjured ventricles, and
thence in the veins of the entire car
cas-. The operation is an extremely
simple. and short one, and Immediately
upon its completion the animal can be
dressed and cut up. Meat has been kept
three months with perfect satisfaction
under this form of treatment. This
discovery opens new possibilities in
the way of preserving meats and is
without the objections usually urged
to other ways of removing the blood

LIFE ON THE sIAKED PLAINS,
The Great Desert Ii Being Gradu~

ing Grounds.


made out on the great "Staked Plains"
the past 16 years are phenomenal
That large expanse of unbroken prairie
derived its name from the Mexicans
and Indians, who called it "Llano Es-
facade" long before the advent of the
Americans. The scarcity of water dur
ing the summer months rendered it a
dangerous matter to attempt the jour-
ney across them, and it is known that
many caravans of Mexicans in the
early days, making their way from the
Rio Grande river into New Mexico, per-
ished among their sandy wastes. For
many years after the country on every
side had been in a measure settled up
the plains were looked upon as sort
of forbidden region, the epitome of
everything that was inhospitable in
nature, and totally useless for supply
ing any IF the wants of man.
Those adventurous individuals who
ventured far into its dangerous depths
reported it a treeless, silent waste,
without a sign of life. except the buzz
yards that circled high in the heavens,
or the coyote that hurried across the
trail and disappeared like fash
among the sagebrush and tall grass
that lined the banks of the dry orroyos.
Huge whirlwinds would appear to
block the way for time. and then
hurry off, as if disturbed by the pres
ence of men in those grim solitudes.
In the early morning wreaths of dust
went spinning around before the
breeze, as if some desert sands had
arisen and had just begun to envelop
the great expanse.
The last case known of anyone per.
ishing on the plains was in 1890, when
two Americans and one Mexican, a
sheep herder, attempted to make their
way from Pecos City to Amarillo. in
midsummer, and, being poorly pro-
visioned with water and losing the trail
as we'll, soon died of thirst, as we'll as
their horses. A peculiar feature of
this accident was that, although the
coyotes and buzzards had picked the
bones of the American clean, the body
of the Mexican had baked and dried
in the sun and was practically intact.
owing to the fact that the diet of the
Mexicans on the border is always COM
posed in great part of chilli and red
pepper, substances apparently not ap-
preciated by either the buzzards or the
coyotes. Since that day no other IA
tally that is known has occurred Oh
the plains.
The progressive rancher and cattle
man has, year by year. incroached on
this vast area. sinking wells. running
wire fences, and rearing a better breed
of stock than is to be seen to-day any
where in Texas. Water is found at a
depth of from 20 to 100 feet, and in
abundance. The altitude of the
"Staked Plains" district insures the
health of the stock the year around,
and fever. anthrax, or blackleg is sell
