 During the time said experimental tion was being made the editor of the Star was governor of sthe territory, and as such was supposed to be iD close touch with the pTison admins tration. The territory was standing oD the threshhold Of the third year of his incumbency, when that unfor- tunate difference with President Cleve- land arose. It was early apparent in the slugging and driving between the two great leaders of the democracy that one would have to go. It was solar ple0us or nothing, and when the blow was delivered the democracy of Arizona grinned and gave up its governor. But the editor of the Star was agricultural director of the prison farm for nearly three years, and during all that time he vegetated neither alfalfa nor beans.

was no trace of MT Childs's presence anywhere When he came back to the office he found his boy in a rather dis turbed state of mind. MT. Carson, " said he, presently. 'I have been think ing that over. Does MT. Childs ever swear?"
 Never" answered the major. "He is a strictly religious man. Why do you ask?''
 When that gentleman called this morning, 1 thought l recognized him from the portrait up there. The first thing he asked was where you were. told him you hadn't got down yet. He asked me what time you Gid get down. l told him sometimes at 10 o'clock, sometimes at Il, and sometimes not until the afternoon. Then he sort of surprised me by saying: He gets down any time he d-n pleases, I sup pose? Well, when he comes, tell him Mir. Childs called I thought it was queer, but I looked at the portrait again and there didn't seem to be any mistaking him.
 A half hour later the boy suddenly called out: There goes MT. Childs now" pointing to man who had just passed the door. Major Carson dashed out, only to discover that the myste- rious stranger was his old friend Uriah H. Painter. one of the noted correspondents Of the civil war era who is still living in Washington No one had ever thought before of Mir Painters resemblance to Mir Childs, but this incident drew attention to rather remarkabls similarity of out line which might easily deceive a per son who knew MT. Childs only through his portraits. The idea of the mas querade had probably flashed through MT. Painters mind for the first time as he saw the boys eyes pass from his face to the picture on the wall-Cor- respondence Boston Transcript.

COLONEL PIQUART.

IT DreyfIs has been the victim P-c-
 quart las been the hero. He supposed
 Dreytus to have been justly con-
 uemned. He was detailed to close U7
 the case and file away the papers. He then discovered that Dreyfus was in- nocent and that Esterhazy was guil,y. He told his superiors of his discovery. They told him to mind his own busi- ness, to maintein the guilt of Dreyfus and to screen the real criminals. His choice was 10 obey them, deny the truth and win promotion and rewards, or to stand bravely for truth and jus tice, and be punished and degraded. He chose the latter course Immedi- ately the military authorities showed their displeasure. They sent him off to Africa on the most dangerous mis- sion they could devise, just as David put Uriah in the forefront of the bat tie. As he did not get killed they re- called him to France. arrested him as a criminal and threw him into prison. It is presumed that they tried their best to induce Eim to commit suicide. Probably, failing that they would have had him murdered in his cell had he not given public warning that if he were found dead in prison it would not be case of sriicide. but of murder. So they let him live. They were ready at any time to release him and promote him if he would deny the truth But a lie was too high a price for him to

TURTLE STOPPED TRAFFIC.

A turtle stepped traffic in front Of the Imperial hotel on Broadway for fifteen minutes at noon Monday. The turtle was part Of a consignment of live Fobsters, soft shell crabs and other shellfsh which a dsaler was taking to the hotel. The driver left his wagon for moment, and the horse dashed across Broadway, coliding with a truck. In an instant the cable car tracks were covered with shellfsh A big sea turtle was seen slowly propell- ing it's way up Broadway. 4 fin Of the turtle caught in. the slot and traffic stcFQed.

ENGLAND's COLONIAL POLICY.

General Grant, who is associated in the popular mind with the victories of the battle field rather than with the requirements and triumphS of states manship, has in one of his official de- liveranceS as president Of the United States presented most cOmpreheES- i've and intelligent idea of tte cole nial policy of England. General Grant said:
 England governs her cIn colonies, and particularly those embracing peO- pie of different races from her own, better than any other nation She is just to the conquered, but rigid. She makes them self-supporting. but gives the benefit of labor t1 the laborers. She does not seem to lock On the col onies as outside possessions which she is at liberty to work fer the benefit and the aggrandizement of the home government
 The policy which England has pur- sued so successfully should be adopl- ed by the United States It is. first Of all, based on justice to the colonies and the TacOgniticn of their rights to have and enjoy their own government as soon as they prove themselves fir t1 have and enjoy it. In the case Of the strange or baIbarous aliens who people some of England's distant pos sessions she appoints over them eS- pecially capable and trained men to discharge efficiently the onerous duties of cOlCnial government. There are no carpet baggeTs'' of the sort that flour ished and disgraced our own recon stTuction period in the south. There should be none in the government of this c9untry's new posses5ions.-Phil- adelEhia Ledger

NOTED PEOPLES DOUBLES.
4 Man Who Masquernded as George
 w. Childs.

The likeness between President Me Kinley and his brother Abner has probably impressed every one who mas seen them, and this effect has been heightened by the presidents exchange Of his familiar high silk hat for a derby, which is the style most worn by Abner Mckinley. The late Senator Morrill, of Vermont used to wear his hair and wh:skers in @ way which sug- gested Charles Sumner: and, a good while after Summers death, visitors in the senate galleries who were familiar with his newspaper portraits would be ,1nystified and even startled by seeing his counterfeit sitting at a desk below and transacting business. q Representative Lacey of Iowa is considered to look very much like Sec retary Alger, although a close analyt- ica1 student of phys:ognomy could hardly make the mistake. This re- esemblance gave rise to one of the good things attributed to Speaker Reed He is said to have met MT Lacey sudden ly coming around corner. and to have appea red som ewhat confused when ad- dressed by him. Lacey" he is quot ed as saving, you startled me-you look so m-Ich like the Secretary of war All you need 10 make you ms tTI is a coat of(Whitewash.'
 In newspaper circles here they tell a funny story about Major Carson. the veteran correspondent Of the Philadel- phia Ledger. He is said to have come down late to his office one morning durnig the lifetime cls the late George w. Chiids, and inquired of his office boy if any one had called. The boy said: ''Yes, sir; MT. Childs has been here"
 ''What MT Childs?"
 1'Mr. George W. Childs," answered the boy, looking up at a portrait of the pl- -oprietor of the Ledger which filled a conspicuous place on the office wall
 That's very strange" remarked the major. MT Childs always notifies me when he is ccwing over. Did he leave any message?"
 ''No. sir; he just told rae to say he'd been here.''
 : 'sHe didn't say at what hotel he was staying?"
 ''No, s.r.'

ORDINARY CIVILTTY.
MT. Gobbleby on the Advantages and
 Pleasures Derived From It.

'I should recommend as an invest ment," said MT. GObbleby, the prac- tlce Of civiity. AS a matter of fact. I don't suppose that a very great num- per of men have suddenly become wealthy through th.s means; that is. l don't suppose that a large number of very rich people have left fortunes to men who had been at onsl time or an other polite to them, but I don't doubt either, that just such substantial ad- Vantages have often accrued to men through their consistent civility.
 But aside from any question of material profit (though there is stili always the chance of that involved in i) I should say that the exercise of cInHty would pay for another reason. There are lots of people who like civil treatment, who are, in fact, really pleased by it, and though we might net get anything in dollars and cents out Of civility extended in tfis way toward people in general, yet I should say it would pay, for we should get from 1t, at least, the pleasure that is always to be. derived from affordire pleasure to others.
 So l should say that from whstever point of view we look at it, c:viitv is a good investment; we are sure to get something out of it, anyway. and it dcesnt cost us a cent. .''-N.lw York Sun

KITES AND THEIR PRICES.
The Modern Scientific Flyer Now a
 Considerable Item of Trade

Scientific kites of one kind and an
 other, such as within the past few
 years have engaged public attention,
 are now articles of large sale There is one wholesale dealer in toys and
 kites in this city who issues sixteen page catalogue devoted solely to kites and kite requisites and appliances.
 Scientific kites are sold not only all over this country and in Canada. but in Australia, South Africa, England. Scotland and the various countries Of continental Europe; an order for 5000 box kites was received il this city last week by cable from Paris. There are number of patents on these. scientific kites, which are patented also in for eign countries.
 A box kite such as was sold two years ago for S1 and last year for 50 cents is sold this season for 9 cents. There are, however, various sizes and styles of box kites selling up to s4 each. All the box kites either roll up or fold up into a small compass when not fixed for flying. There is one called the umbrella box kite, which can be opened ready for flying just as an umbrella IS opened ready for use There is now sold a ship kite, which is rigged like s1oop, with jib, main sail and club topsail The box kitss have no tails. The ship kite, as it rises and floats in the air, is balanced by an anchor suspended from the hull. which moves along through the air with the kite. Besides the box kites and the ship kites there are other sci entifc kites and airships, made in va rious sizes, that are sold at from S1 to S10 eoch.
 Box kites are often joined together and flown n groups Of two, three. four or more, and these and other modern kites are flown in tandem also. Fly ing in tandem the modern kites are used for floating flags and banners and lanterns. It is a familiar fact that are now carried up by kites for taking Iictures from midair. There are cameras specially designed for this purpose. There are sold kite lines in vario5Is sizes and lengths suit ed to the, various sizes and styles Of scientific kites, and there are also made nowadays a number of styles Of hand reels and windlass kite reels up- on which to wind the kite lines.
 These various kinds and styles of modern scientific kites are flown not only by young people but by adults as well. at lawn parties and at the sea shore, for outing recreation and musement-New York Sun.

The general rise in the values Of the most tmportant metals has improved the conditions and chances for miners and mine owners everywhere. Yava- pai county. because of the worth and great promise of it's many mines ana prospects. will shortly take . very prominent place among the greater porduc:ng sections of the United States. by increased development and increased output through enlarged and more economical methods or its rich ard varied area.
 The Arizona, Eastern and Montana company, a corporation strong finan- c:ally and of great enterplfsing spiSit, is reaching out in every direction to extend it's business and aid the gen eral mining prosperity now invading the most remote mining camps.
 Among their various acquisitions they have number of mines and pros poets in Yavapai county. Inquiring into the most expeditions and eco- nomical manner of making their prop ert:es profitable producers, to give greater prominence to the mining in- terests of Yavapai county, and to in crease the scope Of their business, they have through their president, MT. Henry R. Clifford, decided to estab- fish in the vicinity of Prescott a smelt- ing plant of 200 tons capacity. fully equipped with the latest improve ments for the Urea tment of all classes of ores, especially for custom work They will endeaVor in every way to aid and encourage miners in the pro duction of ores.
 In order to be fully informed as to the varied minerals Yavapai county produces and the necessities peculiar to their treatment, Henry B. Clifford & O.. mining brokers, 10 Wall street, New York, have secured the Big Bug shelter ard will operate the same Tor the general custom business. By the stimulus given to production and the knowledge acquired by the operation of the smelter at Pig Bug, the Ari- bona, Eastern and Montana company will in a few months be enabled to es- tablish their large plant in this yicin- ity for the benefit and accommodation of every one
 While this enterprise will be locat- ed near here, it will not interfere with the continued operation of the Big Bug works by Messrs, Clifford & Co
 The Arizona Eastern and Montana company has recently purchased Of MT. Clifford the large smoking plant he haQ at SpOkdne, WdSH- DSoLuo9 Itl4o they are arranging to erect similar works at Guaymas, Sonora, to reduce the ores Of Sonora, Simaloa and Du- rango. which are now brought to the United States.
 Henry B. Clifford has been here several days. completing details of lis several enterprises in Yavapai county, but will soon return to New York Prescott Courier.
 MINING NOTES.
 An important strike was made re- gently at the Blue Jay mine. A new shaft has been sunk farther up the hill from the main shaft and in this fine vein of ore was found. A sample of what appeared to be from the poorest of the ore was assayed and found to run ITO ounces to the ton in silver. This mine is one of the best silver properties hereabouts, and aside from ! the silver the ore runs s4 in gold to ! rhe ton. A great deal of development ] work has been done on the property i and very satisfactory returns received i from what ore has been sent to the |

TRUE P~OLITENESS.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-Some time ago
it was suggested that we write on the
subject of p%oliteness. From the fact
that I am one-who believes that
'Politeness is to do and say,
The kindest thing in the kindest way"
l wish to say q few words on kind
ness. l do not mean kindness to those
who are near and dear to us for all
we'll bred people know their duty to
their friends, but it is of u duty to
interiors and strangers to US I wish to
speak. To a poor and ignorant person
what an Encouragement is a kindness
from some on from whom they least
expect it'll
A smile, a kind act or word costs Us
nothing and may mean much to the
heart sick stranger Of some poor igno'
rant child.
I know there are people who will
impose on the kind hearted because
their good nature ''suff 3reth long, but
don't you think you a bear with one
such case when many others will love
and respect you for your loving kind
ness9
FJr myself I do not want the ''ill
will of a dog" to use a common expires
sion, and one of the proofs that may
be seen often in our life if we only look
for them, happened to me last summer.
An old negro woman I had done little
favors for and thought no more Of,
brought me a box of the most lusci. US
grapes and peaches I ever saw.
l could not imagine why she
should give me such a box when I had
spoken but very few words to her and
thought for a few minutes some a
else had sent the present By her.
Such people appreciate our kindness,
for their lives as a rule are full of toll
and poverty with few rays of sunshine
Their lives as it were are spent among
the Common place things Of life with
no thought of any thing higher than
the physical man.
