LA Council of War" Party

Mrs. J. C. Herndon and Mrs. H D. Ross gave a very novel enter tainment yesterday afternoon at the residence of the former.
 The entertainment was of p3tri- triotic nature throughout, the in- vitatious being adorned with a flag and with red, white and blue rib bons. The programs were adorned with a national flag and were la beled "A Council of War with a beautiful and appropriate sentiment in reference to 1t.
 While 1t was a council of war the council was formed in the shape ot conundrums, the answers to which were the names of various and sun dry military and naval officers of the United States. For instance, An exclamation and contraction was the conundrum representing Otis. "What Is always rewardedE An swer. Merritt. Some eight or ten of the ladies present made correct guesses to all of the conundrums and were compelled to cut for the prizes. One prize, a beautiful gold spoon with a flag on the handle, was received by Mrs. Bowling, while Mrs. (. K. Jenness was the recipient of a beautiful new silk flag as a sec ond priz'

A POLITICAL PLANT.

Our contemporary IS very sollcI- tous for the success of the republi- can party in this territory. as will be seen by the editorial paragraph quoted below, which Of course is en- tirely disinterested. The ''responsi- ble and honest republicans are, oi course the ones who are not m office, but who, just as soon as they should get a position would be transformed in the federal gang" etc. But here is the plaiutive wall which goes up for the honest republicans:
 "The question now is, are the re- spOnsible and honest republicans of Arizona going to allow themselves to be herled ID conventions, like lot of sheep, by ,he present federal of- fee gang, and thereby keep the gang in the saddle for four years more, m the event of republican victory at the next national electioni Is his tory to repeat itself on these lines m Arizona for the third or fourth timei Ifso, it will be time for tax payers and property holders to get out of the country while they can."
 When Governor McCord was in office there was scarcely any epithet known to the English language that was too severe or harsh to be applied to him. Since his retirement, he has been one of the finest of gentlemen, and most abused of men, according to our contemporary. or course democrats and republicans alike fully understand the motives which prompt such wailings as the above and similar ones which appear from time to time, and there is not an honest and responsible republican" but knows the shafts of political malice would be aimed at him, were he in official position.

A Pav DaV in Ph eniS

L.C. Masten. of the NJ. & F., was happy yesterday in the knowledge that all his bills were paid. In other words, the NJ. X P. pay day had come and been promptly attend ed to, leaving everybody connected with the road in a happy and con tented frame of mind. The little road does not seem so little when it is considered that it disburses be- tween S7OOO and SSOOO every month in Phenix besides purchasing every thing it is possible to procure right here at home.-Phenix Gazette, August s.
 From the above it might reason ably be inferred that heretofore the Msricopa X Phenix road had been experiencing some difficulty in pay ing its bills, but we do not believe it was the intention of the paper to convey this idea. The s. F. P. & P. disburses a large sum of money in Phenix every month, as we'll ss S2O,- 900 or S30,000 in Prescott, aud makes these disbursements with such regu- larity that it is scarcely noticed, and We sometimes think from criticisms appearing in some papers that it is not appreciated.

u SCHOOL SAVINGS RAnks.

One of the pressing necessities of this country is a postal savings bank system. The inauguration of such 6 system would not only prove a boon to thousands upon thousands of citizens Of the United States but would also be an advantage to the government itself. In the absence of this a system of school banks have been inaugurated in 35l schools of eighty-nine cities, in twenty-four states of this country and the sue cess attending 1t has been .phenOm- enal. The idea is q dual one, first to inculcate in the minds of children the idea of economy, Americans having the reputation of spending their money too freely and lsvishly. Second it gives the children an in sight into the ways of business.
 In PittsburG the system has only been in vogue in the schools little more than a year, but in that time $500 children nave opened accounts, and the deposits aggregate Sl5,0OO. The deposits are received each Mon day morning ard 8 child may make a deposit of one ceut or more. By a system of cards, bank books and report slips, the accounts are care fully kept. This entails some addi- tional work on principals and teach CTS, but in Pittsburg the testimony of the instructors IS favorable to the system, the instructors willingly per forming the additional work Tn order that the children may be taught valuable lesso4s in the proper use of money. The idea is not tO inculcate an inordinate love of money which would eventually develop misers, but 10 break up the habit SO com mon among children of spending every penny that "vOmes their wa" for something that is of no perman- ent value. When a child has saved a snug sum and the time arrives when the money is actually needed for some useful purpose or can be in vested in something more profitable than the school bank, then the ctild is not only permitted but IS en- couraged to withdraw it's savings from the school bank and of this financial instruction IS made very aviiant

Tsso Men Neli Known i0 Prescott
 Figure in a miK-up of the Je~sl.
 The ownership of a Si50 diamond ring was the subject of inquiry m Justice James's court late yesterday afternoon. It took only few ques- tions to determine what should be done with the ring. Harry Siegel, the natter. whose jewel It IS, related the miscellaneous meanderings of the jewel, and hOE he had by but of good luck been able 10 get track Of it. lu February, 1888, Siegel was a guest a, the Sierra MadTe hotel, when, be says, the ring was taken from his vest pocket by a porter named Harry Shepard, who IS now doing 8 year in San Quentin for other ofenses. Siegel accused Shep- ard of the theft, but the accusation was strenuously denied. Shepard, however, immediately disappeared, but after Q few days bis wife took pains to inform Siegel that her bus band had stolen the ring and gone to RandsbuTg. IL was soon learned thst the ring had been purchased there by Doe Waite, proprietor of the Palace saloon. Negotiations were immediately entered into with Waite, whereby Siegel hoped 10 re- cover his ring, but all in vain. Waite suddenly disposed of his ring, bus to whom could never be found out. Siegel at last despAired of FegaiBlng possession of that which had been lost, was found and then lost again
 Ca Tuesday afternoon a gentle man walked into Siegels store Co buy a necktie. Just as he was tying t oB, Siegsl noticed bis long lost ring. A conversation eusued. and it was learned thst the purchasers name was 4 Woods. Siegel With great haste got out a search warrant and set out after bis mau, in com pany with Deputy Constable de Ia Monte. They met Woods On Spring street, and the deputy constable took the ring, Woods averring that hos would contest the matter. He straightway employed au attorney, but when the bearing was called yesterday afternoon, neither Woods Eor his counsel was present. IL has been learned that Woods is brotheT-iu-Iaw of Doe" Waite, which explains how he came by the ring.
 After the court had heard all the testimony, it was ordered that Siegel be given the ring. Los Angeles Times.

A Singular but Serious Accident.

Robert Jackson, of Kirkland val ley, while engaged last evening in roping and tieing cattle at Hillside station, met with an unusual and serious accident, and which caused him the loss of three fingers of his right hand. He says that he had thrown the rope and was in the act of taking the turns around the horn of his saddle. when the steer jumped into the air. tightening the rope so tightly and with such force that hls thumb and the second and third fingers were entirely severed from his hand. and fell on the ground underneath the horse he was riding. He sad il was ali done in a moment and that be did not realize what had occurred until the intense pain seized him. He came mp on this mornings train to have the fingers dressed.
 Many accidents have happened to range men in the saddle, in such casualties as being burned by the rope and fingers being broken, but this is. We believe, the first instance We have heard of a person having three fingers entirely severed from the hand and as perfectly ampu- tated as fl done by a surgeons knife. Another remarkable thing in con- nection with the accident Is how the first finger should escape injury, the only theory being that the rope must have kinked around only the fingers that were lost.
 Mohave county has increased won derfully in taxable wealth within a year as shown by the abstract pre- pared by the clerk of the board of equalization, John P. Feeny, for transmission to the secretary of the territory. Last year the total as sessed value of property was Sl, ,29S,- 3S3.SS, while the roll for 1899 shows Sl .567 ,309.l3, an increase of S26S,- 925.25. No other county in Arizona can show as large an increase ID a year. Yet Mohave county has no perceptible boom.-Mohave Miner.
 The Courier will lave to run another supplement judging from the space it devotes to taxless toots, bond boodlers, Journal Murphy, etc. IL just boils over with rage this mor1ing because We ventured to suggest that the Colonel was boom ing outside interests at the expense of home enterprises, and concludes one Of its articles by admitting, as usual. that it publishes whatever is offered without pretending to know anything about the subject referred to. The Courier would like an anal ysis of the Castle Creek hot springs water.

The few travellers who have taken

Theresa, 1880 dollars, the people of
Abyssinia, for small change, use a bar
of hard, crystalized salt, about ten
inches long and two inches and O half
broad and thick, slightly tapering to-
ward the end, five of which go to the
dollar at the capital. People are very
particular about the standard fneDess

nothing will induce them to take 1t.
Then, it Is a token of affection among
the natives, when friends meet, to give
each other a lick of their respective
amolis, and in this way the material
value of the bar is also decreased. For
still smaller change cartridges are
used, Of which three go to one salt.
1t does not matter what sort they are.
Some sharpers use their cartridges in
the ordinary way, and hen put in
some dust and a dummy bullet to make
up the difference, or else they take out
the powder and put the bullet in again
so that possibly in the next action the
unhappy seller will find that he has
only miss-fires in his belt; but this is
such a common fraud that no one takes
any notice of it, and a bad cartridge
seems to serve as readily as a good
one.-Philadelphia Press.

WE'LL WORTH A VISIT
TOURISTS WHO STAY IN HOL-
LAND MAKE A MISTAKE.
A Most Interesting Nation-Its Social

and Political and Religious Jews
Dutch Ladies.
Especial letter.

The small country hat lies east of
England, just a hundred miles across
the sea from Essex or Suffolk shores
to its line of low sand hills between
the outlets of the Scheldt, the Mas
Il the Rhine, stretching thence north
along he coast of a peninsula to the
huge rampant dykes of the Helder, is
worth a visit. But tourists who spend
the time there wholly in three or four
notable cities, The Hague and Am
sterdam, perhaps emitting Leyden and
HARLEM, which lie between, and
Utrecht, which has no famous picture
gallery, but is a place of much histor-
zeal interest, fail to get well acquainted
with Holland or with the Dutch peo-
pie. They see how a Dutch town is
QUILT, surrounded and intersected by
canals or branches of a river, planted
with long lines of trees, provided with
a town hall and several churches, u.s.
ually OF brick with carved stone fac
lngs; the more ancient and romantic
Gothic edifices being few-in the seats
OF former Catholic bishoprics and in
the "Stickt," or diocese of Utrecht, in
North Brabant, and other inland
provinces. This country is far less
rich han Belgium and Flanders are in
Architectural monuments of high artis-
tic or antiquarian interest. The Dutch
school of painters, indeed, is all that
Holland can show of it's own that
claims great renoWn in the way of fine
art. Elegance or grace of design or
style is not a Dntch characteristic and
the mere dilettante taste, after looking
at the notable colleots9ns at the Muir
itshuis, the Rijksmusaun and one or
two others. with merited approval, can
find little else for hat sort of gratif-
cation.
Nor does the modern sentimental or
aesthetic delight in rare, wild and
mighty aspects of natural scenery OBJ
tain anywhere in the northern Neither
lands that recOmpense for a very easy
journey which one gets in many parts
of England, Scotland and Wales. The
atmosphere and light are finer than
ours, especially favorable to views of
the sea; but Dutch coasts are mere
rolling sand; there are no rocks or
cliffs or wild forests Of torrents or
mountains in the whole country.
Grand, wide rivers, vast meadow
plains, woods, groves and plantations,
gardens and parks in exquisite keeping,
there certainly are. But in general it
is rather as the home and field of a
most interesting nation, probably more
closely akin and c%ongenial to the Eng
