HE IS A JEROME
The Cily Jail Decorated by Scion of
 an Arisiocratlc Family.

A scion of one of New York's wealth jest and most aristocratic families, and connected by marriage with the English .peerage, is lying in the county jail The 400 of Gotham will not be greatly disturbed thereat and there is hardly a possibility that the entente cordiale between Great Britain and the United States will be severely dis turbed.
 On Sunday morning a young man and woman stood in front of the Gar den City restaurant quarreling- Or father the man was quarreling and the woman was demonstrating with him for being drunk. They attracted so much attention that Officer MoIloy in terfered and was about to arrest the man. The woman interceded and prom ised to take her husband to their boarding place. She did so, or at any rate, the man was seen no more on the street that day.
 But yesterday afternoon he was again abroad in the land and was thrown in. When he was lacked up he gave the name Of Jerome. A man who knew him said he was connected in some way with the JerOmeS of New York and is therefore a relative of the wife of Lord Randolph Churchill.
 About the middle of the afternoon MT. Jerome exhibited symptoms Of ds- mentia and asked for water He wanted to know if the jurisdiction of anybody about the city hall involved the office of carrying water to thirsty gentlemen under restraint. He was informed that the prisoners were not fed and watered at irregular hours. 1of Fo pline of the instit ltion.
 Speaking of the JeroLnes, it is not generally known that the great mining camp of Arizona took it's name from this family. Leonard B. Jerome was once part owner of the United Verde That was before w. A. Clark got pos session of that Monds-sul pronerty

tory and has undergone perhaps more peiils at the hands Of Indians and out laws than any other man. One of MT. Sieber's legs is longer than the other. To be more accurate and explicit, MT. Sieber's other leg is shorter for sec tion of the bone above the ankle was cut out and the two ends were joined together. That surgical operation was coincident with the beginning of the Apache Kids murde.ous career.
 But that is an old story He was driving the stage conveying Sheriff Reynolds of Gila county, deputy and Q lot of Indian convicts to the rail road. The sheriff was careless, but he atOned for his carelessness as far as possible by the sacrifice of his life. The scout, who was driving the stage, was shot in the leg and the Indians, among them the Kid. escaped. The Kid, contrary to many stories of his bloody after life, took no part in the killing of the sheriff nclc in the shoot ing of the scout. He did nothing al ali reprehensible that day but run away.
 The stage was going up a long draw. The sheriff and his deputy and several of the handcuffed Indians got out to walk up the hill. The other Indians and the Kid were among those remain ing ip the stage. The Indians on foot Jagged and jCstled eG;h other, and then jostled the sheriff and the deputy. The sheriff swore at them and ordered them to walk in front and not get mixed up with him and his deputy. Suddenly the Indians seized the Win chesters of their escor's, who were immediately overpOwered The sheriff was shot and killed. The deputy was shot, and died, but it was believed that death was the result of heart disease and not of the wound. The stage was then fired on, the driver was wounded and the horses ran away. In the mean time the Indians in the stage got out and became outlaws The Kid alone was never captured. He was frequently heard of afte1Ward. Often a settler would be found murdered and mangled or a squaw would be stolen from San CarlCs. In this way the Kid kept the posted regarding his move ments-

LORD HERsCHELL's LITTLE JOKE
Three Dollars Ahead on Account Of Guides Ignorance of Value of an
 English Sovereign.

Lord HerscheI had Q fondness for going around and looking at things on his own hook. When he first came to Washington he was driven over the city numbers of times and shown the points of interest, but he liked walking better, and he took numerous long proWis about the city quite unaccom- panied. On one Of these occasions he was accosted in front of the Smiths0- man institution by a guide. The guide s manner of mixing his negatives probably appealed to the EnglishmaA's nancy, for he consented to be shown through the Smithsonian institution: and the national museum by the man. member of the Smithsonian insti- tutIon's scientific corps who was no great distance from the titled English man and the guide as they went around among the exhibits in the two build lhSS, says that 1t was delicious to Ob- serve Lord HerschelHs solemn recep- ton of the guides transformation. The guIde knew absolutely nothing about the exhibits, but the fashion with which he descanted upon them, says the scientist who overheard him, was gicriously p0mpous and ridiculous. Lord HerscheII listened to the man as if he were sitting under some famous lecturer. only occasionally regarding the guide with a sly twinkle in his eye when the wealth of misinformatiou and tommyrot was flowing particularly free. After an hour or so thus spent the Englishman dismissed the guide and handed him Q sovereign from among . number that he fished out of his trousers pocket. The guide looked at the coin suspicious1y, sized up both sides of it and then handed it back to Lord Herschell.
 That's dago money, ain't it, sir?" he asked the member of the joint high commission.
 Why, no" replied Lord Herscheil. That's an English sOVe~eign-the equivalent of about 5 in American money
 That so?' said the guide. well, it don't look exactly right to me, sir, and Id rather have the American stun if you've got it handy"
 LC3d Herschell then pulled out his wallet tc0k q new g bill therefrom, handed it to the guide and went his way with a smile.-W ashingtOn Post.

THE STRIKE IS OVER.
Work Begun on the Foundation of the
 Capitol Building.

The so-caIIed strike on the capitol building is off, if it was ever on. The work of laying the malpai foundation on the cement was begun and will oc- cupy about three weeks. When it is finished there will be a foundation which ought to stand as long as the world stands. Nothing less than a violent earthquake can ever affect it. The cement in the bottom of the trenches is the same now as a solid block of granite. The malpai is as hard as iron and rings like iron when it is struck by the hammer. It is laid on and in cement mortar, which, by the way, is mere talked about in the construction of A:izona buildings than actually used. Lime is more frequent ly substituted for cement.
 Contractor Lowell has received bids for the exterior work, the work to in cludo all stone construction above the foundation. The bids include the furnishing of material and are remark able fO-l the wide difference of esti- mates by the bidders. The bid of An dersOn & McLachlin of Phoenix is $2G,200; Angus Mcleod 6 Co.,, of Fort Worth, Tex, $19,S73, and Miller, Doug las & Go. of Fort Worth, $17,362. The last named bidder adds g 200 more in case Flagstaff stone and granite base is used

GROWS GIDDY AND GAY.
How 2 Civil Service Commissioner Is
 Usually Affected.

The Washington Post, in replying tO a charge made by some wrafhy but 1 feather-headed contemporary as to the Posts attitude on the question of civil service reform, makes few oljserva- tions that are eminently just The idea that all who are 0pDosed to the present system Of civil service Iefornf must naturally be opposed to all civil service reform is simply the cheap in ventiOn of cranlzs. The present sys- tenn is a very fine thing, indeed, ii we are to measure 1t by the ingenuity with which it's projectors have missed the essence of civil service reform. But if we are to measure it ry the results of common sense. il is q sham and fraud, and that, in fact, is precisely what it is.
 The Post refers to q test applied to comp0sitOTs who applied fer work in the government printing onice. The applicant had to take off his clothes and hop tWenty-seven times on one foot to show his fitness as 2 type5ettcrl The objection tct the present system is that it has bs5n invented and applied by impracticable cranks wh0 must needs be eternally performing some feat out of the ordinary iE order to make themselves conspicuous. Tha system showed all it's dsfar.5 under Roosevelt because he conscien tiously carried out all the cranky and idiotic provisions of the law. He was there for that purpose, and he carried it out like 3 man fighting fire.
 The Post thinks. as we do, that the head cf 9 system who desires t0 make 1t respectable and fashionable should cancel all the foolish features and place the whole scheme on a common-sense basis. This will never be done, be- cause the moment man enters the civil service bureau he hecoiues infect ed, as it were, and grows both giGdy and gay.-Atlant2 Constitution.

THE SOU THERN GIRL.
She is the Most Charming, Happy and
 Blessed Of Columbla's Daughter'a-


 She is the Most Charming. Happy and
 Blessed Of Columbus Daughter's-
 Tn concluding an editorial inspired
 by a southern girls regret that she cannot go to college, Edward Box, n the April Ladies Home Journal, has
 this to say of the girls of the south land: '.The southern girl is surround ed by life far truer and more con ducive to, self-deveI0Dmsnt than girls living in other sections, because social conditions are more normal. Her life is healthier because it is saner and her mind, by reason of it, is clearer and more constantly at rest The rush of life of the north and west is not so stimulating as many southern girls suppose. On the contrary, it wears women out as often as it develops them. Tn no part of our country do women look younger at maturity than in the south. TC. the southern girl. too, nature blooms in a prOfusion as she does nowhere else. The natural history which the northern girl must get out of books the southern girl gets direct from natures own hand. She is born of a soil as rich and cOlOrful in romantic history as is the literature of Spain. This she receives as Q natural heritage. Her parents are, and her ancesters were, among the best types of American chivalry and American wOmanhoOd. She hears but one lan- guage spoken, and that is her own. If there is the introduction Of another tongue it is French, and with these two she can travel the world over and never be at a disadvantage. The re- ligion which she learns from her moth CT is the highest and best because it is un tainted with modern revelations. The truest friend and safest teacher in highest living a girl can have is her mother, and in the south mothers have a way af finding time for their daugL- ters and being companions tC them. The southern father is fond of his children. and proves it by his pres ence at the domestic hearth after his GaN's business is over,

he proposes to clap a harmless fellow into
prison merely because his manners and
dress elicit the admiration of susceptible
young women? What may not become of
Mr.. Jones himself when. with the singing OF
the robins and the swelling of the buds. he
puts on his ice cream trousers and natty
dark blue coat and saunters down the
boulevards of Guthrie? Suppose IA susccp-
