A SMALLPOX REMEDY.

4 correspondent Of the Stockton
 (Cal.) Herald writes as follows: T herewith append a recipe which has been used to my Knowledge in hun dreds of cases. It prevents Or cures the smallpox though the pittings are filling. When Jenner discovered cow poX in England the world of science hurled an avalanche of fame upon his head, but when the most scientific school of medicine in the World-that Of Paris-published this recipe as a panacea for smallpox. it passed un- needed It is as unfailing as fate, and cOnquers in every instance. It is harm less when taken by well person. It wall also cure scarlet fever. Here it is as I have used it to cure the smallpox when physicians said the patient must die: Sulphate of zine, 1 grain; fox glove (digitalis), 1 grain; one-half teasp0Cnful of sugar; mix with two teaspccnfuls of water When mixed add four ounces of water. Take tea spoonful every hour. Either disease will disappear i'll twelve hours. For ] child smaller doses according to age. If counties would compel their physi clans to use this, there would be no need of pest houses. If you value ad- vice and experience use this for that terrible disease"

A meeting of the sheriffs of the ter ritory was called for yesterday in Phoenix to consider certain needed legislation The sherifs generally es- pecially those of the larger counties. do not care for any new legislation, but they want a legislative interpreta- ton of the existing law regaI ding fees in civil eases. The present law is am- biguOus and though the sheriffj have been continuing it in their favor they realize that they are always in danger Of law suit to compel a return of q part of the fees or a suit to prevent collection.

RICH IN PROSPECT
Wonderful Mineral District
 on Bill Williams Fork.
An English Mining Engineer Who Has Spent Some Months There Be- IieVeS This 10 Be inc Richest UndeVeIoped Section of Arizona

A. ". Warwick, who has been stop ping at the Ford hotel, has been in Arizona for some time in the interests Of an English syndicate His mission is to travel through the different parts of the territory and note the conditions for mining. He speaks in high terms of Arizona in general as a mining district and states that it's undevel- oped and even unexplored regions of mineral wealth will some day place it in the front rank of mineral producing sections.
 He spoke Of one district in which he was interested and wnicl le said was typical of many such places in the territory almost unknown. MT War wick is a graduate of the royal school of mines in London, and that qualification alone is sufficient to give weight to his judgment. Of the mining district mentioned he said:
 There is well defined mineral dis trict near the junction of the Big sandy and Santa Maria rivers, where they unite to form the Bill Williams Fork. A few miles down the river from the fork is an immense and perfect box canyon extending from five to ten miles back from each bank of the river and probably forty miles along it's course is a stretch of rich mineral land as yet almost unexplored. I should have restricted it to recent exploration, for many places bear evidence of an cient mining, and there are numerous ruins which at one time must have served as huts and smelters for either Indians or Mexic2ns. There are also

PoMPApouR.s RING.
~ Was Lost Over Century and Half
Ago.

A ring containing an engraved
stone was recently offered for sale to
the medal department of the National
Library, apd on close scrutiny, says
the London Post, the curator recogniz-
ed the gem as the famous lost "Tri-
umph of Fontenoy, left-by testament
of Nine. de Pompadour to the medal
department. The ring had disappeared
IN the marquises death and was sup
posed to have been lost forever, when
chance brought it to the very spot
where it would have been had Nine.
de Pompadour's will been carried out.
The Triumph of Fontenoy" is one of
the first works the engraver Jacques
Quay executed for Nine. de Pom
padour. The favorite possessed con-
siderable skill in painting and engrav-
ing on precious stones. She chose
Jacques Quay for master. took him to
Versailles, and installed him in her
apartments, where he gave her lessons
and also executed series of engrav-
ings representing the principal events
of the reign of Louis XIV. There is
little chance of discovering through
what hands the Triumph Of Fonte-
noy" has passed since it disappeared
$50 years ago. 1t has just come from
Poland, and precise information can
not, it seems, be obtained.

When Mr.. Anthony Hope Hawkins
visited America in 1897 he had to go
through much interviewing. On one
occasion about twenty reporters gath
cred around him in his managers Office
near Union Square, in New York. The
novelist, shy. reticent and almost bash
full, sat at the center table, while the
newsmen stood around him, and the
spokesman asked him all manner Of
questions, first of all, of course, how he
uKed America. AS Mr.. Hawkins had
only been in America four brief hours,
he was unable to express any opinion
of value upon the subject. Then came
in quick succession inquiries as to 9th.
er authors and their relative merits.
Probably the question which was the
hardest to answer was an important
one, propounded by a self-authorized
interrogation. 1t was: Mr. Hawkins,
what in your opinion is your greatest
work?" ut never has been written,
sir" was the reply of the Englishman.
And then deep silence fell upon the

burial alive made 1npossIble.

All sorts of devices have been con-
trived to prevent people being buried
alive, and many surgeons and physi-
clans have promulgated methods by
which the presence of death could be
absolutely determined Cost and un-
certainty, however, have usually viii
ated these ideas. or have, at least, pre-
vented their general adoption. Spe-
cially constructed graves proved to be
very high priced, and the most care
fully devised methods of the doctors
sometimes failed to detect the presence
Of life in a body which afterward sat
up, talked and lived. The latest in
vention Of this kind seems to be free
from these two disadvantage is
distinctly cheap and appears to be en-
tirely certain. The only objection that
can be found to it, indeed, is that it
precludes embalming, but the inventor
is at much pains to demonstrate that
far more people are prematurely em-
balmed than are buried alive. His in

THE Cherokee national council

The Cherokee national council
did not adjourn last Saturday as
was hoped by about 10000 Chero-
kee citizens, but concluded to
hammer away another week, and
do al much damage to the interests
of the Cherokee people as possi-
BILE. Outside of the employment
of Judge Springer as attorney,
their work has been pretty much
of failure, and much of it will
prove an absolute detriment. The
people ought TO petition the pres
ident of the United States to not
allow delegation of four, and an
interpreter, to go to Washington
this winter at the expense of the
impoverished Cherokee people.
Judge Springer was employed to
look after all the interests of the
Cherokees and will do all that can
be done. The sending of an ad
ditional delegation there now at
an enormus expense is a shameful
outrage upon patient and help
less people. Such acts are infam-
GUS and ought to be branded such
by the whole Cherokee people.
1t is hoped congress, the interior
department or the president will
shut the door Of Cherokee appro-
priation against this wanton and
needless expenditure of money.

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA"
Shaksspearss Tragedy Produced al Providence
Opera House by Modjsska and Her Company


The last appearance for the present
season at least of Madame Modjeska i'm
this city was made at the Providence
Opera House last evening, when the
once great Polish actress presented
Shakespeare Antony and Cleopatra"
Owing TO the length of the tragic and
rather gloomy work. il was necessary
To cut much of IL, and the result was
that a great deal was left TO the imagi-
nation of the audience.
The work of Madame Modjeska, how
ever, was warmly applauded and II
was evident that her conception of the
character OF Egypts beautiful queen
was, from an artistic standpoint, the
result of careful study. and by its con-
trast to the peculiar creature brought
To light by Sardou, is refreshing and
acceptable to the close follower Of the
stage and its tradition. In the final
scenes she rose to the situation with
some approach 10 her old-time power,
and when the curtain fell she was
warmly applauded.
The supporting company was most
satisfactory, although the Antony Of
Mr.. Herman suffered a little by over
accentuation. Mr.. Lonergan as Oc-
tavius Caesar, and Mr.. Tanning as
Aurelius Lepidus were very good in
deed.
This evening and for the balance OF
the week Shenandoah" will be the att
traction.
