Uniforms THAT Come High.

The bearskin of an officer of the
Scots guards costs over $55, the he'll
met OF a lieutenant of dragons sim
liar sum, and the sable busby, plume
and ring proper to an officer of the
hussars runs into sovereign more.
The gold-embroidered shoulder belt
and pouch of one hussar regiment cost
IA guineas, and the dress jacket of an
officer of the horse artillery amounts
to what appears to be the ridiculously
unnecessary sum of $ll5. The en-
broidered scarlet tunic of queens.
aide-de-camp reaches nearly $3.50 in
price.

The first rustic of the programme was to be
 my cue. but everything remained still so long that I lost my nerve and dared not wait. I tried it the next night with the same result, and then gave it Up in despair, fully satisfied that the audiences were thoroughly interested in my stage effects.' The conversa- tion between BrCadhurst and Howard was quite 2 long one. At it's con- clusion NIT. Howard said: "You ought to try to write a play" The seed probably took deeper root than he expected. He did try, and the re suit was '+The Speculator. after which he wrote ''The Wrong MT. Wright" and What Happened to Jones, 5 Why Smith Left Home and 'The Last Chapter"

one that is under consideration. This letter is printed on the letteFhead of the livestock sanitary board and signed by him as chairman. Now, it is Cbvi- GUS that this bill he ordered tab0Oed has some supporters and it is equally certain that be they butchers CT cattle men they are taxpayers, and surely these men will protest against pub lie servant whose salary they are pay ing dictating OT endeavoring to over ride the will Of the people for his OWn gain and benefit NJ. Barnes has ad- mitted on many occasions that the bill fe is opposing (a ?. 7@) is good bill, but his public and private utter ences are so utterly 35 variance that 1t is hard to believe that he has ever studied the matter sufficiently to be able to form an Intelligent opinion. To show the justice of T. 3. 73, which pro vfGes for Q butchers license, increase Of 2 cents 2 head for inspection of cat tie for shipment. and decrease of 20 cents hide for inspection fees for in spectiCn of hides of cattle slaughtered, 1 need only Cu0te the following figures from the biennial report of the beard: During the year 1898 there were 192, ,626 head of cattle shipped, for which the inspection fees amOunted to $5688.7S. During the same period there were 32,- 451 hides inspected, for which the butchers had to pay $8,1f2,75 in in spection fees. so that although the butchers handled less than one-siXth as many cattle as the shippers, they paid S2, ,423.97 mere to maintain the in srec5ion service than did the shippers, and mind you the butcher under the present law gets no protection, for the cowmen can Deddle meat right by his door # So disposed. but the butcher must pay to protect the cowmen against theft. It is 10 be hoped that the present legislature will ,hcroughly weigh the merits Cf the various bills before them before taking final action. Trusting you will grant enough of your valuable space for the insertion of this in the interest of honesty and justice.

A GROWING CLIENTAGE.
J. A. Kurtz Has Assumed the Manage
 ment of the Fleming Block.

Mir J. A. Kurtz has assumed control Of the Fleming block, succeeding D. A. Abrams, who has gone to Globe to take the position of secretary of the Black Warrior Copper Mining c0mpany This is an important addition to the client age of Mr. Kurtz, who has for long time represented the estate of the late Captain W. o. O'NeIll, the interests Of Judge H. c. Gooding and many other n0n-residents in this city. Altogether he controls a much larger volume of property belonging to outsiders than any other man ln the Salt River valley. His appointment to the charge of the Fleming block is due in Eart to his long acquaintance and friendship with MT. Fleming and to his well rec ognized skill as an agent in the man agement of property. He has succeeded a,L all times in keeping the buildings under his control well filled with gCod paying tenants.
 Mir Kurtz came to the city six years ago an utter stranger. within that short period he has collected together a business as profitable as that of any other the city. A considerable part of it consists of his extensive opera tiOns as a broker and another import ant element in it is his line of insur- ance in which several of the best com panies ill the United States with an aggregated capital of thi- ty millions is represented.
 This business is in no part the result of accident or good luck. In the be ginning MT Kurtz's operations were small. but they were conducted with Q thoroughness which pleased his eli ents and naturally others. Thus while some men fail and charge it to i'll luck. others succeed and success can be attributed only to skill and industry.

Bishop John H. Vincent of the MetE- cdist church, whose arrival in the city Tuesday night IWas announced in The Republican yesterday mdrning, besides being one of the most famous diyines of the country is a man well known in public affairs generally. He is close friend of President Mckinley and knows personally nearly every man Of prominence in the nation. Seen yes terday Bishop Vincent was asked to ex press his views as regards to the atti- tude of this government towards the Philippines.
 President McKinley's conduct ot the affairs of the nation since he has been president has been most admira- ble," said the bishop. "Espe- cially is this so in the direct ing of our foreign relations. l do not see how they could have been conduct ed more ably. The war brought Us new duties and we must, as a nation, perform them. No one could fOre5ee the outcome, but to try to dodge the responsibilities now would not alone be belittling, but criminal. The Phil ippineS are in the condition we found them owing to the GecayIng clVllIZ9- ton of Spain. No one admits that this nation could turn the islands back to country that has misgoverned them for three hundred years. To say that the Filipinos are capable of self gov ernment is to make a self evident mis- statement To leave the islands to their fate to fhe rapacity of Europe, would endangor the peace of t9C world and that would be such criminal folly that this great country dare not be guilty of it.

AN INDIAN BURIAL.
Thirty-Five Eastern Visitors Wit messed a Rare Sight Yesterday at
 the Indian Reservation.

s. p. Clark was the host of 9 party of thirty-five ladies and gentlemen,
 guests of the Ford hotel which made
 Q trip yesterday to the Pima Indian
 reservation eighteen miles southwest
 Of town. An elegant spread was one
 of the features Ot the trip which con
 srmed the entire day.
 The members of the party were made
 the guests of the American minister Cf the reservation, H. J. Winacoop, who
 guided them about the place The ex- cursionists happened there at the right
 time and they were apprised by Mir. Winecoop that they were to witness
 what had not been seen by any other
 white man at the reservation for ten
 years-an Indian funeral. \ buck had died that morning of pneumonia
 and 400 Indians had collected to ac- cord the rites. The minister did not
 present himself at the scene, explain ing that the Indians were very timid about being watched in their care- monies, and he advised the party to drive over to the burial grounds in their rigs and use care ln their be- havior in order to prevent any upris- ing.
 The remains of the Indian were wrapped in a blanket and accom- panied by the wife of the deceased to the bur ial grounds in wagon, i'm mediately followed by relatives, while the remainder of the tribe who had gathered, brought up the rear, the women meanwhile contrib uting a dismal wall. Upon arriving at the newly made grave the cortege halted, the bucks seating themselves around their grave Ill g circle, while the squaWs stood behind them. Here. as the tourists described, the sqUaWs set up a vail which would rival that of | noted Irish wake.
 Brush was thrown in the deep grave and the Body was carefully placed on top. The deceased's earthly effects were strewn over him in profusion with the view, it is supposed, that they will accompany the remains to the happy hunting grounds. More brush was scattered over the body and the grave was filled with dirt. A wooden fence was erected around the grave to keep the coyotes and jacka,s from dis tu~bing it. Throughout the ceremonies the bucks maintained the utmost re- ticence and after the burial tba widow silently shook hands with each one Of them, but the women who continued their perpetual wall were ignored in the ceremony. The handshaking may or may not have been q reorganization 10 the widow, but those who offered it did So with bowed heads and with pro found reverence.
 The Indians then repaired to their village. avoiding the hut formerly oc- cupied by the deceased. It is said tbat the wife of the dead Indian will never live in the same wickiup aGain, and that tho rude hut will be allowed to brave future storms until it shall be by their violence. However the aborigines may be and however inconsistent and absurd their ceremonies may seem, the rites were impressivelv solemn to the tour ists wEo watched them from dis tance

CAUSE OF SMITHS DEPARTURE

On next Friday evening March 2, at the Patton Grand will be witnessed the initial presentation in this city Of Why Smith Left HCdne.' the new farce from the ren of George H. Broad hurst, who came into prominence through the great success Of What Happened to Jones'" The names in the company show very plainly to these acquainted wish the marketvalue of actors and actresses that the com pany will be one of 5he most extensive seen ill comedy in recent years. The TCster includes Maclyn Arbuckle, M. B. Snyder. Fred w. Peters, c. Jay Williams, Webb Segrist, Mrs. Annie Teamans. Blanche Chapman, Rose Snyder, Dorothy Usner. Jessie Conant and Gertrude Roosevelt. BTcadhursts determination to write 9 play was
 brought about in rather an UnIrsual manner. While he was managing the
 Bush street thcater in San Francisco, Bronson Howard happened into the theater and requested that the usual courtesies be extended him. The con- versauiOn between BrCadnuTst and Howard veered to E. il. Sotherns Gro- du1tiOn of "Thp Maister of WCOdbar- row." which at the time was being pro Guced at the Baldwin theateT. Broad hurst ventured the opinion that one scene in Sothern's s play was too pre- lOnged, and being asked his reasons by MT Howard for so thinking, replied that the audience began to rustic their programmes and 10 Jnove uneasily iE their seats.
