representative of Spain.
Secretary of State Day is seated by
NJ. Cambon's side, between him and
the president. NJ. Thiebaut, secretary
of the French embassy, is back of NJ.
Cambon, and Assistant Secretaries of
State Moore. Adee and Cridler stand in
the rear of Mr.. Day. Each figure is a
portrait. and every pose is a character
istic one. The light, which is very in
tense, comes from a window in the
rear.
You will observe that the picture is
very different from the photographs
which have been so widely published
said NJ. Chartran. when the photog-
rapher tried to reproduce the scene. the
glazing light from the window made it
impossible for him to take the picture
as it actually looked. He reversed the
position of every actor in the historic
scene. placing his camera where the
president actually stood. Besides,
seven other persons were introduced
into the picture who had not actually
been present
THE painting I have just finished Is
historically accurate. Another unpub-
lished detail is the fact that President
Mckinley was rather nervous while
the signing was going on. He stood as
have represented him. his finger tips
on the table. which they tapped ner-
vously till the document was ratified"
The price agreed upon with Mr..
Henry C. Prick of Pittsburg, for whom
the picture is painted, was 100000. NJ.
Chartran has, however, reserved the
copyright and rights of reproduction,
with Mr.. Tricks consent. A misstate
ment that has been current in the
newspapers is to the effect that Mr..
Prick will present the picture to Pres
ident Mckinley personally. This would
be impossible under the constitution, as
the president cannot accept presents,
unless by special act of congress. It
is Mr.. Tricks intention, NJ. Chartran
says to present the picture to the fed
eral government, to be hung in the
White House.-New York Mail and Elk

NJ. CHARTRAN, THE ARTIST.
Talks of the Painting Representing the
Signing of the Peace Protocol.

The great historical painting repre-
senting the signing of the Spanish
American peace protocol in Washing
ton is on its way to this country, and
will be exhibited at Knoedler's on Fifth
avenue in the early part of January.
NJ. Theobald Chartran, the promi
rent French artist who has painted the
picture. arrived yesterday on the
steamship Champagne. from Havre,
and is now at the Waldorf-Astoria
Yes" said NJ. Chartran, speaking in
his mother tongue for he has been too
busy while here to learn English well,
the picture is on the way, and hope
when it comes that it will please the
American people. It will be on board
the Aquitaine, of the French line
THAT ship was the Normannia, which
the Spanish government owned and
called the Rapido during the war, was
it not?" asked the reporter.
THE very same said NJ. Chartran,
land it forms a curious coincidence,
does it not? But you will be interested
in seeing a photograph of the painting
which 1 have brought with me-
The artist produced small but clear
photograph of the work. The domi-
nant figure is that of President McKin-
ley, looking slightly careworn, as he
did during that momentous period. He
stands at the end of the table in the
cabinet room of the White House. His
attitude is a commanding one as he
watches NJ. Jules Cambon, the French
ambassador, sign the protocol as the

The establishment of a health resort
at Aqua Caliente, east of Tucson, seams
to be one of the feasible projects now
under contemplation, says the Star.
The waters Of the Aqua Caliente
springs are charged with valuable me-
dicinal clements, which when gener-
ally known will be much sought after
by health seekers. The construction of
large hotel at the springs would be
profitable as the location and environ
mant are most desirable

Mrs. Henry Goldwater, one of the
committee who has been soliciting
funds for the Prescott library, says
that the amount required for the build
ing has been about subscribed and the
building is now an assured fact. The
committee desires to secure the privi-
lege CT erecting it on the northeast cor
ner of the plaza, certainly very ap-
propriate place. The building itself
would not only occupy a prominent
and convenient position but it would
be an ornament to the plaza as well.

Ed Moran's Prescott bottling works
caught fire on the inside yesterday af-
ternoon and had a narrow escape, but
the o. K. hose company soon had IL
stream of water playing on the flames
and the fire was put out, having de-
stroyed property 10 the amount of
about $3.50, says the Prescott Courier.
AS usual, the efficiency of our volun-
teer fire department prevented a very
disastrous conflagration. The origin
of the fire is unknown. AS we have
plenty of water and an efficient fire de-
partment, insurance rates should be
far lower in Prescott than they are.
A man with $500 or 81, 900 insurance on
the most valuable piece of property
within the fire limits Is almost sure to
be more than fully insured on any loss
he may have from fire, as fire has got
to get a remarkable move on to de-
stroy much property under our present
extraordinarily good facilities for fight
ing fire.

this force is kept busy widening the

lasting the track, putting everything
in first class order. Over the track
just finished, a running time of thirty
five miles per hour can be made with
perfect safety, which is more than
most track builders can boast of as n
test of their work.
All in all, there are few railroad prop

boast of the freight prospects ahead

Tom Walker on Trial in the Yavapai
District Court.

The trial of Thomas Walker, who on
the night of November Is shot to his
death Richard Bennett, was commenc-

morning session which lasted until af-
ter II o'clock was taken up in impan-

SLOT MACHINES.
Warfare Against Them Is Assuming
Proportions in Tucson.

1t now develops that concerted action
against the slot machines which pay
cash has been taken by the county and
city authorities. 1t was stated in the
Citizen of yesterday that the board of
supervisors has ordered the sheriff to
enforce the payment of the monthly
gambling tax of $50 per month upon all
slot machines that pay cash, and City
Assessor James Flynn stated to a Citi-
zen reporter today that hereafter he
will enforce the payment of the city
gambling license of $3.50 per month
upon all of those devices. This will
make the expenses Of the slot machines
that pay cash so high that it is thought
they will all be abolished
a high official told the Citizen today
that the slot machines which pay the
winner in cigars, etc, also come under
the gambling law and the county and
city officials are considering the advis-
ability of enforcing the payment OF the
gambling licenses upon them. If this
action is taken slot machines of ali
kinds will be entirely hanished from
Tucson as none of them are sufficiently
remunerative to warrant the layment
of the licences.-Citizen.

A YAVAPAI HOLD-UP.
Mike Hermann's Cool Nerve Probably
Saved His Life.

An unsuccessful attempt was made
Sunday night to rob Mike Hermann at
his road station on Groom creek, six
miles south of town, says the Journal
Miner. About $50 o'clock two Next
cans entered the place. one with a six
shooter and the other with a murder
Gus looking dagger. Hermann was
alone in the front room at the time sit
ting in a chair and the Mexicans no
doubt concluded that he was the only
person in the building at the time and
would be easy prey for them The man
with the dagger advanced toward him
and suddenly sprang forward and
seized Hermann with his left hand,
while he raised the knife in his right
hand to strike him a blow with it. Mr.
Hermann, who is a veteran of the civil
war and who had not only faced bull
let's but had been struck with them,
was not to be stampeded as easily as
they imagined. He always carries a
siX-shooter where he can lay his hand
on it conveniently, and as the two men
entered the door he sized them up and

fore they got outside of the building,
and as the bullet could not be found
anywhere in the building he thinks he

WORK STILL PROGRESSING.
The Grand Canyon Railroad Is a Sure
Thing.

The purchase this week of the spikes
and bolts in a sufficient quantity to lay
the track of the Santa Fe & Grand
Canyon railroad entirely to the canyon,
insures the finishing of the road as fast
as labor can perform the task, says the
Williams News.
This last deal completes the pur-
chases of all material for the complet-
ing of the road. and puts the company
and the enterprise over the hill with a
down hill drag. All that is needed or
wished for by those interested is thirty
days more of fair weather though the
track is almost far enough out from
the mountains-or the plateau at the
present-to be beyond reach of the
heavy SHOWS; yet with snow in this
section, there is always more or less on
the plateau, which makes construction
more difficult.
Two construction trains are now at
work and material is coming in great
quantities. The Santa Fe company
and officials are extending every court
esy possible. which removes all the
boulders formerly found in the road to
success. which the enterprise in infancy
was compelled to travel and prove its
merit by sticking to the track.
The track so far completed is far
above the average new track-as the
ballasting and perfecting of the road
bed as well as the manner in which the
track is being put down, is of the quail
ity that generally cures within a year
or two after completion of track

OLD MAIDS POPULARITY RACE
A Voting Contest in Sycamore, Ill,
That Aroused Lively Interest.


The talk of this section is a voting
contest conducted by the Weekly Ad-
vertiser which will bring a purse of
gold and a pretty certificate to the
most popular old maid in Sycamore,
and which may bring horsewhipping,
or worse, to the enterprising editor of
the Advertiser, Harvey E. Westgate.
The contest will close December "a
Up to date over twenty of the most
popular of the elder unmarried ladies
in town are in the race, composed
largely of school teachers, clerks and
business women. No candidate can
enter the race who is engaged to
marry.
The majority of the bachelor girls
take the contest good naturally. but
few are exceedingly angry and threat
en- vengeance upon the editor for al
lowing their names to appear. Mean
time the race goes on and the interest
increases. and the outlook is that the
last week v'iu - exceedingly warm.
The conditions are that any one sub
scribing for the paper has the right TO
castfifty-two votes. The ones takins
the lead in the race are Miss Agnes
Doyle Miss Edna Davis and Miss Ella
Ostrander. The first two named were
the first placed in the race, and are the
ones receiving votes daily, while the
third one is giving them a chase. Many
are holding votes back to cast later on.
All the ladies are well known.
New names are added each week. The
lady teacher of oratory in Sycamore
and a Cortland teacher have recently
been added.-From a Sycamore Dis
