MAN A FIGHTING ANIMAL.
Prince Albert's Dream of Peace Has
Been a Bloody One.

Been a Bloody Ore.
Man is fighting aninial. After
1000 years, according to Biblical
Chronology, two highly civilized ma
tons have just peen flying at one an
others throats. The most enlightened
nations in the world, the United States
Of America. has been engaged in war,
variously stated to be for 'the paci-
fcation Of Cuba" 1.-The freedom Of
Cuba" '.the annexation of Cuba" "a
war for humanity" - war to drive
Spain out of the Western Hemisphere,
and "a war to revenge the Maine
Universal peace is a dream Of the
student and the scholar. The amiable
person, Albert. the Prince consort-
who was imported from Germany into
England to continue the royal Hano-
yerian line-belieyed in peace. At the
opening Of the Crystal Palace exhi-
bition. nearly half century ago, he
told the world that this exhibition
aeralded the dawn of peace: that there
after the dogs Of war would never be
let loose This was in 1851. Yet in
1854 England waged war against Rus
sia: in 1856 she waged war against
China: in 1856 she waged war against
Persia; III 1851 she made blood run like
water in India, crushing the mutiny
there: in 1856 France, Italy and
Austria became engaged in war; in
1861 the United States entered upon
the bloodiest civil war ever known to
the world: in 1866 Prussia ranquished
Austria: in 1861 England began her
war against Abysinnia; in 1870 France
ana Germany engaged in their bloody
struggle. in 1874 England wa@ed war
against the Ashantees; in 1917 Russia
and Turkey went to war; in 1879 Eng
land began her Zulu war: in 1882 Eng
land bombarded Alexandria, and in
vaded Egypt: in 1888 the French were
at war in Tonking; in 1894 China and
Japan went to war; in 1886 Greece
and Turkey were at war; in 1898 the
United States went to war with Spain.
These are 4 few Of the wars that
have taken place IN the last half a
century, not to mention the scores Of
minor wars in half-civiliZed countries.

The United States war department is
to make test Of Marconi's system Of
wireless telegraphy over q six mile space
withiR few days. One instrument
will be located on top Of the depart

other at Fort Myer, 2 nearby military

Rev, Sam Jones writing 10 The At

Rev. Sam Jones writing to the At
lanta Journal says he has found the sa-
loon mans paradise in Toledo. OHIO.
1t is very little larger than AtlaGta
and yet has $40 saloons. BY the way.

lectable city, but it was not upon his
solicitation the Rev. Sam went 20 work

seems that all the preachers are OPP
posed to the mayor and his methods
and the saloons are for him.

the purpose Of hurrying up justice. The
bill provides that no Judge shall re-

Ex-MAYoR Strong of New York, told
the Credit Mems Association of that

the money which should be looked at.

TUE navy department is bending
forth every energy to the hurrying OF
ships and sailors to Manila. 1t is in
answer to telegram that was received
last week from Admiral Dewey The
admiral explains that with the force
at hand, it is impossible for him to
patrol the Philippine islands, or even
those on which the war is being waged
with such vigor, sufficiently close to
keep out arms and ammunition. 1t
seems that the Filipinos have plenty of
money and the conditions are such as
to make the proposition Of selling con
t7aband of war an inviting one The
probability is that all the available ma
val force that can be spared from this
country will be sent to Manila.

Beauties Of Divorce Law.

The more we see of the workings of
divorce laws in other states the proud
er we feel that South Carolina has no
such law on her statute books. Re-
Gently over in Savannah a divorce case
was tried that shows this law up in its
most disgusting and degrading aspect.
The case was brought against Judge h.
D. D. Twiggs by his wife. Mrs Twiggs
was Miss Cornelia Dennis, of Char
lesion, S. c., and married man in
Greenville by the name Of Harrison,
from whom she got divorce. Accord
ing to the facts as We fpd them in the
Charleston Evening Post the story Of
the marriage and after life of Judge
and Mrs. Twiggs is as sensational and
romantic as Rider Haggard could have
imagined. Judge rwiggs was a prom
inent lawyer in Augusta, with large
and happy family. His fame as Grim
inal lawyer permeated the entire coun-
try. Mrs. T9iggs was then resident
Of Charleston, S. c. She wanted a d.
vorce from her first husband and en-
gagged the judge as council. He was
successful and the divorce was granted
but, Cupid had been at work and Judge
T9iggs emerged from the suit to fad
himself in love with his fair cllent He
at once set about freeing himself from
his first union; he went to Dakota and
secured a divorce. The2 he and his
new love we're at once united. They
moved to Americus, Ca, then located
there, remaining two or three years.
Mrs. Twiggs was the social queen Of
the town. Her beauty, her brilliant
intellect and many accomplishments
gave to her the admiration Of all ac-
quaintances. Then came sensations,
challenges, talked Of duols, internal
strife, and 50 on, until Judge Twicgs
decided to change his residence to Sa-
vannah. It was thought that they
were living happily together and that
peace and tranquility reigned supreme
in their home. But it transpires that
they have been separted since last fall,
and Mrs. Twiggs seeks total separa-
tion with alimony, alleging as her
grounds cruel treatment aud brutal
abuse. But behind this divorce salt
there is a story that Mrs. Twiggs has
found new love" in the person of a
distant relative-a young man of prom
inence and wealth. We can not vouch
fo, its truth, but we know that it is 60
ing the rounds and is credited by many.
Could anything be worse than this!
How any man who believes in the
sanctity of the home and marriage re-
lations can favor divorce las Ia us
face of such facts as above set forth is
beyond our comprehen,io@.

Or you will quote from Isaiah, All
flesh IS grass, and the goodness there
of is as the flower Of the field" Or
you will quote from James the apostle,
';As the flower Of the grass, so lie

symbolism!
All the cut flowers will soon be dead,
whatever care you take of them. Though
morning and night you baptize them in
the name of the shower, the baptism
will not be to them saving ordinance.
They have been fatally wounded with
the knife that cut them. They are
bleeding their life away; they are dying
now. The fragrance in the air is their
departing and ascending spirits Oh,
yes. Flowers are almost human. Bot
anists tell US that aowers breathe, they
take nourishme1t, they eat, they drink.
They are sensitive. They have their
likes and dislikcs. They sleep, they
wake. They live in families. They
have their ancestors and their decend-
ants, their birth, their burial, their era
die, their grave. The zephyr rocks the
one, and the storm digs the trench for
the other. The cowslip must leave its
gold, the lily must leave its silver, the
rose must leave its diamond necklace

NEVER before in the world has there been such general and widespread ac- tiyity in mining in all parts of the world, and for all tue important min erals, says the New York Finan cial News. This activity is more coneen- trated and intense in the United States than elsewhere, but it is spreading in every region. Australia, Africa, China, the Islands of the Pacific, Europe, South America, British North America, Mexico, are all in the rush as well as are we of the United States. It is an age of mining. We have passed Great Britain now in the output of coal, far excel any other country in the produc- tion of iron ores; we raise a big part of the copper that comes out of the earth, and zinc, lead, antimony, etc., and the development of gold mining keeps up with the procession. In every mining state and territory of the Union there is an amount of work going on not heretofore equalled. The old fields are giving out enlarged yields and the new ones are constantly coming forward. Coal is the basis of modern energy and steel and copper the body and nerves of modern appliances and machinery in the arts and industries. This has given foundation to mining which has taken from it speculative, uncertain features which have long kept it out of what called itself Legitimate husi- ness" To-day there is no business so legitimate, so stable, so certain of giving good return for capital and labor putinto itas mining, whether for ircn or coal, or gold or silver. The world needs for it's modern progress the mineral wealth of the earth, and capital is as ready to go into mining now as ini9 the most favored lines of other industry or production.

Dragged to Death.
From the Tempe News, 2ctA.l


 shortly after nine o'clock this morn. ing the shocking news was brought to town that E. c. Frankenberg had been dragged and kicked to death by horse, on his ranch southeast of town.
 The particulars of tue tragedy as learned by a News reporter, are as follows: Mir. Frankenberg had gone into the pasture and caught his iron gray driving mare upon which he placed an ordinary tie rope. He was leading the animal along the fence toward the house, when he was ac. costed by man who was in the road He stopped to talk to the man and it seems that he had coiled the rone around his left arm. While he was still engaged in conversation band of young horses and cattle that were in the pasture collected around, and a young horse playfully bit the mare on the shoulder. This caased her to suddenly wheel around and the horses and cattle at once stampeded, the mare going with them. When the mare first swung around the rope had evidently drawn tight around Mir. FranSenberg's arm and had then linked SD that it could not come off. The eye witness stated that for the first few jumps made by the mare Mr. Franfenberg kept on his feet but the horse appeared to kick him on the chin and he fell to the ground and at every jump the hind feet of the animal strnck his head or body. The man to whom he had been talking, and who is a stranger in this se.tion, at once entered the field and pursued the run away. After going about one hundred yards the horse stopped and wheeled around, facing the prostrate form and stood there trembling all over. The man cautiously approached and caught hold of the halter which he endeavored to remove from Mr. Frankeaberg's arm. He was unable to do tlis so hs cut the rope and at once examined thc body and found that lie had already departed from it. He then went tc the house and gave the alarm.
 1 Word was at once sent to town and . corones's jury went out and viewed the remains and rendered verdict in accordance with the facts.
 Ernest G. Frankenberg was aged 6 years and was one of the best knowr men in Maricopa county. He came tc this place from Kansas about clever years ago and since then he has takel an active interest in everything per tainiug to the upholding and welfare of Tempe and surrounding country He served one term as member of the board of supervisors of the county. I is mainly to his enterprise and per l severance that Tempe is indebted fo the beautiful Odd Fellows building He was man Of strong personality hal some faults and many prominen virtues; a man whose death would mean a loss to any community.
