JUST A FEW SMITHS.

''The extent to which tie Srn th family figure in general affairs was demonstrated yesterday in the case of an overccat thief, who was brought LID fer punishment in a magistrates court The prisoners name was JChn Henry Smith, and he locked Gc -urately fhe part he had played in purloining another mans garment. The police man who caught the daring lawbre ak CT and dragged him to t.e bar Of jul rtice was William Smith, the typical terrCr of lawbreakers.
 The judge before whom Phis- ar Smith was brought by Eileen an Smith was Magistra F. K Smith. The trio of Smiths all had to smile when the fact was brought out that the Smith family was so we'll represented. The colcr of John Henry Smith, the prisoner, precluded the possibility Of his claiming relationship with the Smiths who represented the dignity of the law, and the best that could be done for him was a sentence Of tn. ee months.
 The smile which spread over the faces of the three Smiths grew into a loud guffaw a moment later, when Off, f1cer Edward Smith appeared at the ban with a prisoner charged with drunkenness, who looked wise when asked his name and replied, John Smith, sir.''

GOSSIP FOR sPoRTsMEN. ,

Plumage hunters don't care how many birds they kill. or rather they do care. for the more they kill the better and larger will be the profits of their trip. With the exception of that part | of Florida which adjoins Alabama, and in the Everglades, that portion of the bird life of the state that is used for
 decorative purposes on female head gear has been thoroughly cleaned out. | Crusades may be made by enthusiasts
 who hope to put a stop to feathern decorations in a woman's hat or bon net. but the practice is not likely to be stopped until the supply of birds that provide the feathers is destroyed ut terly. Central and South American l forests and swamps are being harried to death by the plume hunters, and it will not be long before some substitute | for feathers will have to be devised hy | the milliners.
 Reports from Texas show that the | season Of ducks has so far been one of the most favorable in several years past. The good reports do not come | from any one section, but from all over the state. Quail, too, are so numerous as to merit special remark As for the other game of the Lone Star state, there still seems to be enough to go around for some years to come. Texas is a big state, but the legislature of that state will do well to look closely after it's game interests, for as the hunting grounds in other sections of the United States begin to be denuded of game, so much the more is public attention attracted to The grand possi- bilities of a two or three weeks trip after game in Texas The climate of Texas in the winter is of itself spe- 4. e., lN.s s1-I-A e,,I less a mortimer takes a hand in the game; then it is we'll to have a good fire handy, for a mortimer in Texas is worse" than zero weather up north.
 A writer who is interested in duck and goose shooting along the shores of Chesapeake bay says that if night shooting were stopped by the proper parties there would be plenty of ducks and geese, as well as brant, to afford good sport for long time to come. Night shooting, which is done by fire lighting" on the principle of 'tjacking for deer" is net only a deadly way of slaughtering wild fowl, but is bad in other ways. It disturbs the fowl at night when on the feed or at roost and drives them away, making them wild and hard to decoy. In addition to this, the indiscriminate discharge of a hand ful of large shot into a flock of wild fowl at night cripples vast number, not one-tenth portion of which are re- trieved. This is wilful waste and should be stopped. It is, moreover, forbidden by law. The worst feature of the whole matter is, the writer of the report states, that a warden, a man empowered and directed by the state of Maryland to arrest evildoers, is him self one of the chief offenders in the matter of ''fire-lightirg g"-New York Commercial

SAILING SHIPS FAST BECOMING
 EXTINCT.

The time has come for some talent ca poet to write farewell to the sail
 ing ship. This picturesque and tima-
 honored dweller of the seas is rapidly | becoming extine-. In few years
 more. at the present rate, the 1ull- rigged ocean vessel will be as much of a curiosity as live dcdo Even now
 it is almost as scarce as the American buffalo.
 Since 1878, a brief 20 years, the ~eg- i istered sailing fleet of the Uni ed States has decreased from 2,864 to S24. The gross tonnage has decr5ased from 1.458,209 COTS to 443,645 tons The United States is no exception in this regard. The merchant fleet of the entire world has been cut dlcwn in Ike proportion by tce advent of steam. Even now the powerful governments of the world. startled by the tbreat of utter extinction, and believing th3it tha sailing ship has functions tco impcr- tant to be dispensed with, are attempt ing by artificial stimulants, such as bounties, tc cherish the few surviving 2 me mbers and pe.patuate the g-nus.
 France discovered in 1890 that tnare
 were just five sailing vess Is left carrying her flag. She imme ately passed law granting a bounty to steel sailing vessels of francs per ero=s
 ton for construction and Cna franc, 70 centlmeS per gross ton per 1000 niles-or about 9.2 cents fer every gross ten carried 100 miles Under this stimulus her fleet has increas sed to 51 ships. with a gross tonnage of 79,000 tcns. ,H
 Great Britain and Germany also pay substantial bounl tes to encourage the
 building and operation Of sailing ships; but no country pays as high a rate as France. In 1890 G1elt Britain the greatest maritime ration in the world, had scarcely a dozen sailing vessels, and even under fine stimulus of bounties 'ohe number has EcIcely doubled during the last nine years.
 The United States is ncW cons de ing the adoption of s.milar l. gisla. ol. Congress has under c0nsidarat on a bill, known as the 'Hanra b .ll'' f:om its sponsor, Senator Mark Hanna, which, among ether things, g-ants to the proprietor of a sailing ship IF

General Miles was not present. Rear Admiral Sampson had been invited to attend. but was unable to be present Commodore Charles O'Neill chief of naval ordnance, and Lieutenant Com mander Hall. commanding the Unites States ship Enterprise, now at Boston, were present as visitors. A commO- dore's salute was fired at the proving grounds in honor Of Commodore O'Neill.
 The test today was to ascertain the rapidity with which the new carriage can be worked. A ten-inch gun was used for the purpose. The regular ser vice charge of 240 pounds of powder and a shell weighing 575 pounds were used The rapidity test required five shots. and these were fired in twelve minutes and thirty-eight seconds. This included the time taken in loading and manipulation.
 Members of the board on their return to the city this evening said that the test had been very satisfactory. The machinery worked smoothly and with out hitch. The test had, of course, not been competitive one, and the rapidity test could not therefore be compared with the performances of the Buf1ngtOn-C1Ozie carriage now being used in the service in coast fortifica- tions.
 The carriage is the invention of Rear Admiral James A. Howell, retired, United States navy. It differs from the BufingtonCrozier carriage In that it does not sink the gun beneath the ground, no pit being used
 The private tests of the Gathmann shell, which have been under way for some time, were continued today Con gressman Dick, George w. McMullen of Chicago and Louis Gathmann, the inventor. were present These shells are filled with gun cotton. Twelve-inch shells were used today. The members of the board of ordnance and fortif1ca- tions, however, had nothing to do with the test. though it is being conducted under the direction of Major Frank Heath in accordance with instructions from the secretary of war.

cents for every gross ton c5rr,ed 100 miles during the first 1,500 miles of the ships voyage, and 1 cent per 100 tons for each 100 miles during the rest of the journey. The consideration of sailing vessels in the bill is only sec~ ondary, it's main purpose being tha substituting of steamships, for the stimulating of the American ship building and carrying trade.

 Even while attempting to coax the bird of the seas to remain a Ii tie longer, we are preparing ancther shot which may inflict the death wound. The construction of the proposed hip canal connecting the Atantic to the Pacific oceans will tend fTther to re duce the opportunities for the profit able employment Of sailing vessels, as did the Suez canal. Even now about the cnly use of the deep-sea sailing ship is in the cru SC around the Horn or the Cape of Good Hope tu the Pacific CT |
 Indian oceans. These voyages a-e made by square-rigged ships engaged in the oil trade principally. They are also used in voyages from the Pacific coast of the United States to Asia and Europe for the export of lumber and grain, and in trips from the Atlantic coast by large fore and aft rigged ships engaged in the export of coal to the West Indies, Central America and parts of South America.
 Our modern navy is composed eE- tirely of steam vessels, but it has been found by experience and it is conceded by all competent to give an opinion, that the best all-around officers, pc ty officers, such as boatswains, able sea- men, etc, are thSose who have training on board sailing ships. For this req son the government maintains sail ng vessels and vessels with only auxiliary steam power for the training of its naval cadets alt Annapolis.

 In accordance with law, 1 hereby proclaim Friday, February third, Arbor Day in Arizona, and I invite attention to the following words of the statute: "In order that the children in our public schools shall assist in the work of adorning the school grounds with trees, and to stimulate the minds of children towards the benefits of the preservation and perpetuation of our forests and the growing of tim Der. it shall be the duty of the author ities in every public school in the Ter ritory of Arizona to assemble the pupils in their charge on the above day in the school building or else whsTe, as. they may deem proper, and to provide for and conduct under the general supervision of the county school superintendents, such exercises as shall tend to encourage the plant ing. protection and preservation of trees and shrubs, and an acquaintance with the best methods to be adopted to accomplish such results; and that the trees may be planted around the school buildings, and that the grounds around such buildings may be improved and beautified; such planting to be attend
  ceremonies, that the day may be one of pleasure as well as one of instruc- tion for the young; all to be under the supervision and direction of the teacher, who shall see that the trees and shrubs are properly selected and set''
 I recommend that in the northern part of the territory and in places of high altitude where the date named by law is too early in the season for sue cessful tree planting, that the local school authorities provide for the ob- servance of. an Arbor Day later in the springtime. -..

A SMALL FORTUNE FOR PINKs.
The Mrs. Thomas w. Lawson Carna-
 tions" and Their Worth.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 25.-The remark able contest for the possession of the Mrs. Thomas w Lawson" carnation pink, owned by MT. Thomas F. Calvin of this city, ended last night in it's pur- chase by MT. Lawson, Harlow N. Hig- ginbotham of worlds fair fame first of fered $15,000 for a half interest in it, and then Thomas w. Lawson of the brokerage firm of Lawson, Weidenfeid & Go. offered S7,000 for a single plant, CT $30,000 for Florist Galvin's entire stock of 5000 plants. The flower was named for Mrs. Lawson, and that fact, in addition to the remarkable beauty of the plant, probably prompted E1r. Law son to make his remarkable offer. When the flower is compared with oth- CT carnations it's superiority is dem- onstrated in manner which needs no emphasis. l. would be dangerous to MT. GalVin's monopoly to sell a single plant to be gwen to the city for Dropr- gation. It would not then be a diff cult matter for some one to steal a shoot of the flower and cultivate and give the substitute another name. So careful are the GalvinS to avoid any chance of this sort that the flowers are twice eXam;ned-once before leav-
 
 being received-for the purpose of de- tecting any shoots which may have been overlooked. MT. Calvin has ac- cepted MT. Lawson's offer of $50, ,OOO fo- his entire stock, and will then raise thS flowers exclusively for Mr Lawson. The flowers will be retained in the Bos- ton market
 The flower was first grown by MT. Peter Fisher of Ellis, Mass, who. after years of effort, found himself DOS sessed of carnation which, for size and exquisite beauty, far surpassed the bsst he had exhibited. Its lasting uual- 1t1es, when plucked from the stem. ex- ceeded any specimen he had ever seen.
 MT. Thomas F. Calvin became nos sessor of this gem in horticulture. ant named it the Mrs. Lawson Carnation In honor of the wife of MT. Thomas w Lawson. warm friend. The flower has been exhibited in many parts of the country and has always won first prize.
