"THE FATHER OF ARIZONA"


Adventurous Career of Charles ID.
Poston I'm the TerrItory's Early
Days.
The legislature OF Arizona has Just
passed an act comforting pension of
f25 a month on Charles ID. Poston, first
delegate to congress from the territory,
styled in the bill ''The Father of Ari-
xona."
For more than a score of years Pos
ton was power in the southwest. To-
day, broken and feeble in mind and
body, he stumps around Phoenix alone
and neglected, almost destitute, in his
seventy-fourth year.
Poston's first venture into Arizona
was in 1854, when he explored the
Apache country with an intrepid band
of 30 California prospectors. The jour
ney was made by way of Guaymas, So
nora. Several large deposits of rich sill
YER ore were found not far from the
ancient Spanish pueblo of Tubac, and
Poston, laden with mineral specimens,
hurried to New York. There he readily
secured the necessary financial assist
ance, at the head of the company form
ed being S. z. (alterward generaD
Heintzelman. Nearly 81 100000 was in
vested in mining machinery and in the
development of the mines, which were
phenomenally rich. When the United
States troops left the region, at the out
break of the civil war, the Apaches and
confederates alike closed in, and the
works were abandoned, never again to
be operated. A claim against the govern
ment for part of the value of the prop
erty thus destroyed by Apaches has for
years been the old mans sole asset.
Only last month was his evidence in the
case taken at Tucson by an officer of
the department of justice.
In 1868, after serving Gen. Heintzel-
man for awhile as aid, he became SUI
perintendent of Indian affairs in the
southwest, and as well recorder of
Dona Ana county, n. NJ, in which
county then lay all of what is now Ari-
zona. While serving in the latter ca
pacity he personally named the terri
tory, and secured President Lincoln's
signature to the act that granted sepa-
rate government.
In 1864 he was elected first delegate
in congress. In later years he filled a
number of diplomatic appointments
abroad, and several governmental posi-
tions in the southwest. His travels
have been worldwide, and his memory
Is still active in catchy personal re-
miniscences that vary from tales of
r'rates on the China sea to stories of
how he governed his little kingdom at
Tubac. In hygone days he issued sew
eral clever prose works, and his poetical
productions of 20 years ago are even
now considered of rare merit.-N. Y.

method of amplifying the sounds of

PERSONS who are compelled to make
use of public drinking fountains may
relieve their minds to great extent of
fear of infectious microbes by supplying
themselves with lip guard and pro-
tector which has been recently pat
ented by Alvah c. Tebbets, of Boston.
1t is merely a metal or rubber shield
which slips over the edge of the drink
ing glass and is held in place by the
natural spring of the material. This
prevents ones lips from coming in con-
tact with the edge of the glass, and
thereby prevents infection.

Advantages of Direct Buying.

Certain manufacturing institutions have
in recent years inaugurated a new system
Of dsposing of their products which is un.
qualfiedly to the advantage of the con.
sumer. Among the pioneers in this new
method of doing business was the Elkhart
Carriage and Harness Manufacturing COM
pany of Elkhart, Ind. These people began
this plan 26 years ago and have adhered to
it strictly ever since. The result has been
so entirely successful that they are to-day
the largest manufacturers of carriages and
harness in the world selling to the con-
sumer exclusively.
The advantages to the consumer are al
most beyond estimate. He gets better goods,
better and larger selections, and he buys at a
much lower price. There is no risk, as this
firm ship vehicles or harness everywhere for
examination, and guarantee every article
they manufacture and sell. The Elkhart Car
riage and Harness Manufacturing company
publish large illustrated catalogue, which
they will cheerfully mail toallwho requestit.

This man has produced some remarka-

latest success with the black roses has
stirred up quite sensation among the
lovers of flowers in Russia. Some
specimens were sent to to the czar by
Fetisoff, and beautiful collection of
them has been sent to London to be
exhibited at the coming annual flower
show.

The new Havana police force is hav-
ing great deal of trouble. Scarcely
a night passes without the killing of
one or more policemen, citizens or SOL
diers. The Cuban is too excitable, too
nervous to make good policeman. 1t
will not be long before the American
provosts will have to begin policing
the streets again. Although there are
strict orders against selling any intox-
icating drinks to the soldiers in Ha-
vana, the men get liquor some way,
and one drunken soldier or sailor will
make things remarkably interesting
for three or four of the Cuban police
men
