PHOENIX PASSION PLAY
An AIIegOrY, of Mingled Politics and
 Religion.

The next time Santiago Bere5a feels like organizing a passion play or any kind of a religious spectacular show he will go to Oberamergau, where those allegOrical performances are received with favor Santiago was tried in Jus tice Gray's court yesterday for dis turbance of the peace, which was plainly the farthest removed from his purpose.
 Last Saturday, the closing day of Lent he believed tG be an opportune season to teach the Mexican youth that treachery and ingratitude do not pay. He rigged up a straw man, hanged him to a limb of tres1 and called him Judas. He collected about him a dozen of his countrymen and dressed them up in the supposed garb of the Jews of the scriptures, with long robes and flowing boards. They cut Judas down, tied him on the back of a burro and, forming a procession, led him about the principal streets of the town in such a way that they passed the Catholic church frequently Santiago is a de- vOut PrOtestant), and then took the straw traitor to the gehenna. which they had prepared in Montgomery's addition. A gehenna, by the way, is departure from the scriptural potters field, but it is more spectacular Here Santiago read to the assembled multitude 'Un testamente," portraying the life. brilliant opportunities and miserable ending of Judas, who had sacrificed everything for the cause of silver. Then the eff1gy was confined to the flames with great enthusiasm. So mote all traitors perish.
 Nothing more would have been heard of this celebration but for one member of the audience, Senor Pedro G. de la Lama, who was not in accord with the proceedings. Senor de la Lama is of the same race as Santiago, but is of a

CAVE CREEK MURDER
Slaughter of an Married Man
 df a Sheep Camp.
The Victim Was Jack Ford the For. man and Ills Murderer Was a Herder by inc Name of Jim Daniels.

Jack Ford, the foreman on H. c.
 Yaeger's sheep camp, about seven
 miles north Of the Phoenix mine, was
 murdered on Monday by a herder named Jim Daniels or McDaniels. The news of the tragedy was brought to the Sheriff's office yesterday by E. P. Me Cormick, the post master at Cave Greek, in a letter from William Wid- mer, whose cattle ranch ir in the same nefghborhood Justice Johnstone was informed of the killing znG he i'm paneled a coroner's jury which will leave for the camp this morning. The camp is about forty miles from Phoe- nix
 MT. Mccormick says little Is known of the circumstances of the killing ex- cept that Ford was shot three times, once in the head and once in the shoulder. Ford was unarmed After the shooting Daniels rode away cn Ford's mule and the animal was found along the creek half mile away. The only witness was another herder, a Frenchman, who could speak no English and very little Spanish. He brought word of the shooting to Wid- mer's ranch, but at the time he left he did not know that Ford was dead. MT. w lulu6I SGul FTdnh 1AIuNIIS IO him to the Phoenix mine or the Mari copa mine. When LinVille got to the sheep camp Ford was stiff and cold.
 The sheriff's office at once took steps in pursuit of Daniels. So far as is known, there is only one man in town who knows him. and that is Deputy Sheriff Moore, who was at !! Mesa when the news of the killing was brought to the office. He Itelephoned | that he would return either last night | or this morning. Daniels is said to be | about thirty years old, Of light com | plexion and medium height About a. weeks ago a man was arrested here | for drunkenness and was locked up. | He was a sheep herder and somebody 1 said his name was Daniels, though he | appears on the jail record as John Doe. i He was probably the murderer. Of | Ford very little was known, except | that he was a steady, reliable man and | had fheen a soldier. MT. Yaeger who probably knows more about him, was not in town yesterday afternoon.

 tion that God was democrat, that
 Christ endorsed the principles of Jef-
 ferson and Jackson and that they, to-
 getheH with all the gods and honest
 men except the Jews, were for Bryan and free silver.
 He therefore resented the prominence given by Santiago to Judas as the or iginal silverite and made complaint against him for a disturbance of the peace, charging him with incorporating obscene expressions in his ''testa- mente.' The Eftestam was read in court. It was a simple statement of facts. A witness for the prosecution testified to one expression by Santiago which is seldom heard in polite society, but he said it didn't make anybody mad On the contrary, everybody laughed. Another witness for the people said he had heard Santiago say nothing that might not have been ut tered in the bosom of a we'll ordered family

dle kingdom shall go no further, but shall stop short with the lease of Kiao Chau to Germany, with that of Port Arthur and Talienwan to Russia, and
 with that of Wei-hai-Wei to Great
 Britain. Secondly, that even in the
 three parcels of territory ceded, an eff
 fort shall be made to secure from the
 lessccs a recognition of the trading
 rights heretofore secured by treaty to
 other countries, and that, in all tie
 rest of China, existing commercial privileges shall be upheld and enlarged
 It is obvious that, to make good both
 of these assertions, that is to say, to
 safeguard the middle kingdom from
 further encroachment and to assure
 the enjoyment of treaty rights inside
 and outside Of the leased territories,
 the countries interested must not con fine themselves to offering sage coun-
 sel to the Pel1fng government. We did
 not need q prophet in tho person of Lord Charles Beresford to give us that
 information. It is true enough that the leases of the cOaStwise tracts just
 mentioned were made Ostensibly sub- ject to existing treaties, but those
 treaties cannot be enforced, nor can what is left of China's territorial in
 tegrity be preserved, unless the tinan
 cial and military regeneration of the middle Kingdom is brought about through external help. To restore vi
 taIity to the mOuibund Manchu dy- nasty, which is corrupt at the core, and which has long lost the respect of it's subjects, would be an extremely diff cult task, even if Great Britain, Ger many, Japan and the United States were willing to combine and promote the regeneratiVe process at the risk of a war with Russia and France. It is clear that Great Britain alone could not maintain the ''open dcor'' for any extended period. She might lend money to China, but she could not save it from embezZlement at the hands of native officials. She might expel the Russian and French warships from the waters of the Pacific, but she could net prevent the Russians and French from invading, China by land. the for mer by way of Manchuria and the lat ter by way of Tonquin. She could not avert a land invasion of the middle because her army is ridicu- lously small compared with the powers which have adopted the corscription system.
 It has been clear. therefore, from the first, that England must abandon the pCllcy or the open uOOf, unieSS Sn9 could gain assistance from some coun- try possessing large number of train ed soldiers A hope was, at one time, cherished that what was needed might be supplied by Germany, but, although Germany is willing enough to enter into cordial relations with Great Brit ain, there is always the prOYiso that these must, on no account, disturb the good understanding which so long ex- isted between the courts of Berlin and St. Petersburg. There is nothing that could offer Germany in Af- rica, in Oceanica, or in China that would compensate for the risk attend ing a war upon the Vistula, which would mean, also, a war upon the Rhine. Never, consequently, will the trained soldiers of Emperor William be sent to the middle kingdom to for

CHAS. RIEBLING RETURNS
He is prepared fo Face Inc Music and His Creditors.

l Charles H. Riebling, the grocer, who
 suddenly left town about three weeks
 ago, returned last night over the
 northern route. Since leaving he has
 been as far as Seattle, Wash, and at a number Of places on the way, in
 cluding San Francisco.
 T was simply crazy" he said last
 night, when I left town. No one can
 realize the state of mind l was in dur
 ing the last few days. 1 transacted
 business, and when I left l did not know where l was going 1 did not care. I wanted to get as far away as possible, and that was my only inn pulse. 1 knew my business crisis was coming and 1 couldn't ward it off. but after all it might not have been so bad if I had staid.
 But have come back to face the music. I want to live down the whole thing if possible and make man of myself. Unfortunately for me I did not look for Phoenix paper until 1 was too far and then 1 could not get one. It was with considerable sur prise that I learned the way the Phoe- nix people thought about my depart ure. 1 want to thank them, and es- pecially the press, for the manner in which I was treated. I'll tell you just what caused me to return I ascer- tained that some of my heaviest cred itOrs, whom I least suspected of being my best friends, were very cOnsiderate They seemed to TepOse a great deal of confidence in me even after my depart ure, and now 1 would do anything for them. If l can get work I will repay everyone of them. l thought and be- lieve yet, that the stock in my store was enough to satisfy creditors. If 1 could have collected one-half the money which people owe me, there would have been no trouble. The night before I left I destroyed bills amount ing to few hundred dollars which knew I would not collect and I have worked eighteen and twenty hours many days trying to solve the finan- cial problem.
 My trip back has been one of hard ship, but I was determined to come and show my creditors and the people of Phoenix how fully I appreciated their good treatment l hardly know what to do now. I will consult my at- Uorneys and if nothing can be done about the store, I suppose l will hunt work

SCIENTIFIC COOKING.
Arizona's Representative st the Dread
 Institute, Worcester, Mass.

Some time ago Governor Murphy was informed by the officials of the Dread Institute, of Worcester. Mass, that, through the Iiberslity of an east erm philanthropist, provision had been made to furnish a free scholarship at that institution for one young lady from each state and territory, to be appointed by the respective governors. As the Dread Institute is the repre- sentative scientific cooking school of the country, the governor found it no easy matter to select 3 young lady possessing the education and other qualifications required to creditably represent this great commonwealth at an institution where she would have to with the brightest and most accomplished representative of all the states and territories; but, after careful consideration, he made the happy selection of Miss Mabel Grey Hoover, whose picture is given here wtsh, for the position.

THE RAILROAD WONDER STORY

The interstate commerce cOmmds- sion has gratifying reports of earnings, expenses, etc, for the year ended June 30, 1898, from 720 lines, operating 181,- 333 miles of road.
 The gross earnings were $1 ,23S, 523,- 3S0, an increase of $165, 161, ,583 over the previous year.
 The net income, after deducting op- erating expenses, was $466, ,790, ,110. Of this sum $35S, ,1S9 POP went to interest on bonds, taxes, etc, and $65, ,995, ,915 was distributed in dividends, leaving a surplus of $42;604 ,999 in the treasuries of the roads. During the preceding year there was g small deficit instead Cf this surplus.
 These figures tell the same tale of reviUing prosperity that has been told in statistics of exports, manufactures, crop production, and everything else. They suggest a rapid growth in the cOuntry's wealth, and a very great in- creased employment of men. For in order to earn less than $110, 100000 of dividends and surplus for the stock holders the roads paid out $S1124 4S5 in operating expenses-the most of it going directly or indirectly to work men as wages.-New York World

THE KAISER AND His BOYS.
Their Merry Time Together in the
 Royal Playground.

Royal Playground.
 The Emperor William, however scrupulous and even memorable he may be in all matters of court etiquette, and military and government routine, throws off every kind of restraint the moment he enters the penetralia of his home as a happy husband and father. One of the royal pages, a young Prus- sian Ifobleman, who has numerous op- portunities of witnessing the imperial family gatherings, informs the writer that the emperor is model 'paterfam- ilias." He frequently joins in the games with his young folks-the six princes and one princess-and very frequently he delights them by the quaint humor of his conversation.
 One of the crown princes accomp- lishments is drawing, a talent which he inherits from his father and the Empress Frederick, both of whom are distinctly above the level of dilletant- ism. He is also very fond, as the em- peror is, of the theater and of dancing, though otherwise he is of prema- turely serious disposition, which al most borders on melancholy. He is said never to miss one of the numerous festivities given by the countess of Schwerin. wife of the governor Of Ploen college, and on these occasions he distinguishes himself as an indefa- tigable and elegant dancer.
 Four selected youngsters of the mili- tary school are taught together with the three imperial princes in all their lessons. and among them the son of Count Hochberg, intendant of the royal opera in Berlin, is said to be the spe- cial favorite of the Emperor William, who never fails to have young BOlko Hochberg invited whenever he and the empress go to Ploen on a visit to their children. Notwithstanding the genu- inc family feeling on which as a basis the imperial couple are having their sons formed and educated, the latter are strictly held to see the monarch only in their father whenever they ap- pear together in public.
 Speaking of the emperor as enjoying himself in the playground with his boys reminds the present writer of story told by another eye witness. The emperor and his brother Prince Hen

A MIGHTY HUNTER.
Charles Montgomery, the Champion
 Lion Slayer of Arizona.

On the pages of the register of the Occidental hotel yesterday appeared the name Charles A. Montgomery, and to the casual observer 1t suggested nothing out of the ordinary, but to the old-timers in Tucson there are very few who have not met or at least heard of this remarkable man. Mir. Mont gOmery is one of those men who have had enough of wild and thrilling ex- periences crowded into his life to fill dozen ordinary dime novels. He has been in turn hunter, trapper, Indian fighter, a veteran of the war; scout, miner, etc., etc. MT. Montgomery came in from the Cameron ranches about eighty-five miles south of Tucson. and brought with him several mountain lion, bear and wolf scalps. These bring him d neat little sum every month. as the territory pays a bounty of S2O on every lion scalp, $10 on bear scalps and S5 for every wolf killed The cattlemen pay the living expenses of MT Mont gomery in return for the great amount of stock destroying game that he kills during the year, and they consider it is money well spent. In addition to this income, he made lucky strike in
