REMEMBER, THERE IS A SLOW NESS IN AFFAIRS THAT RIP EMS THEM AND A SLOW
 NESS THAT ROTS
 '"THEM'

i We address ourselves to the hun 1 dreds of thinking men and womeT i looking for homes ;n f'huen;x as wei
 as to those living ir adjacent minins l towns and other places in the TerI- i tory, asking them this important
 question at this opportune time: WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF i IN YOUR CASE?
 "M l had invested hundred dollars l sir, in San Francisco real estate ln . the early days and hung OF sill now I'd been worth my millions to-day Just htnik of it!" Point out the man on the coast who has not heard a i 'Friscan complaining of his luck some
 what as above. In Chicago, Los An
 geIes, Denver, Omaha, Kansas City,
 and almost every town and city in the
 west you meet with the same weeping
 and wailing and gnashing of teeth, and
 so, indeed, in the vicinity of all our
 rapidly growing centerS. Never have
 coming events cast their shadows be-
 fore" with the same marked outline
 coupled with intrinsic merit as in this infant city of Phoenix and Salt River
 Valley, yet will history repeat itself
 here. Many will be the lamentations in less than short year to come, about the golden opportunity lost''
 Be wise today. 'TiS madness to de- fer; next day the fatal precedent will plead-thus on till wisdom is pushed out of Efe.''
 300 CITY LOTS. 5Ox182 FEET. FIVE MINUTES WALK FROM COURT HOUSE. No street car required. First class streets and avenues. Every lot elegantly situated and perfect; no ra- vines or broken lands; now offered at prices that simply defy competition and can never be duplicated in Phoe- nix. viz: AT S65 AND UP TO S2OO EACH ON INSTALLAIENT PLAN, MONTHLY PAYMENTS OF $5.00 TO S1000 EACH. NO INTEREST ON DEFERRED BALANCES. TITLE UNITED STATES PATENT.
 We address ourselves particularly to people paying rent-exorbitant rent for poor accommodations, both in houses and rooms, every dollar Of which IS a practical waste when paid by the permanent settler. This offer cannot last long Hence, to the renter of houses and rooms we say-COME AND SEE US! You are now wasting from SIP to $2O per month in rent. Buy family tent and live on your own property until you decide later on to build or sell your lot at a big ad- vance, thus saving not only money, but owning a lovely home for what, other wise would go to a landlord This in- formation is an angels visit'' to the saving wife and pointer to the indus triOus young man and woman work ing for a monthly wage. It's a good thing.
 The New Palestine tract IS, without any exception, the finest in or to Phoe- nix. Its assessed valuation in 1S9S-9 was $25,500 It lies in the very heart of the manufacturing and resident district, viz: ON CENTER STREET, FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH, | FIFTH, SIXTH and SEVENTH AVE NUES. and IS THE ONLY SANITARY SEW BRED TRACT IN OR TO THE CITY. The New Palestine tract alone adversjses it's terms and prices in the laily press, so that he who reads can | know for himself without the aid of i he Phoenix curbstOne real estate or ;ommfttiOn man. to which our office | pays no tribute.

AN OLD POET.

My hand, my pan, lie still, My voice is dumb, No more, unsOught, at will,
 Fair visiCns come; No more on faery meads
 The light forms dance, Nor borne by winged steeds
 Speeds swift Romance; Along the rugged road,
 With toiling pacss slow, Bent by Times heavy load
 The dull feet go. The clear Dawns now shall grow
 For younger eyes, I mark no more the glow
 On sunset skies; White winged across the foam
 The gay b3rks fleet, But mine no more may roam
 Since rest grows sweet, Toil brings it's fitting need,
 The haven's rest; Foil has it's joys indesd,
 But this is best. Let younger footsteps soar
 To snCws untrod, I strive. 1 climb no mere
 MuSinS with God. Through the closed gates of home; Unheeded, half forgot, Fainter the memoriss come
 Of what is not; The Past shows like a dream, The Present hurries fast; COuragei Life's seaward stream Runs calm at last,

An English Expedition Desires IA
American Delegate.

Consul Boyle at Liverpool has called the
attention of the State Department to the
expedition to investigate the causes of ma
laria and other tropical diseases, organized
by the Liverpool School of Tropical Dis
eases, which proceeded to Sierra Leone, on
the west coast Of Africa, the latter part of
July on the steamship Fantee, and which
will return some time in the latter part
of September. The expedition may, how
ever proceed. to Accra, on the Gold Coast
before its return. The committee having
the expedition in charge desires to have a
delegate from the United States join the
expedition. AS a school for the study of
tropical diseases has been started in this
country, 1t is thought likely that the prop
osition may find favor, especially at this
time, when SO many Americans in the
Philippines are exposed to the dangers Of
the very tropical diseases which the expe-
dition intends to investigate.

dealer, and that is where the fiendishness
of the thing comes in. Look closely at the
glass rod and you will see a tiny groove
filed around it about two inches from the

body OF man, 1t would be certain to break
at the groove and would have at least three
inches of glass buried in his vitals The
puncture would be so small that it would

DUTY ON LEAF TOBACCO.
Probable Reduction on That Shipped

now considering the question of the re-

leaf tobacco grown in and shipped from
Porto Rico to Cuba, and the Indications
are that an order to that effect will be is
sued within Il short time. Under the Presi-
dents proclamation of December l3. 1885
the duty on this tobacco was fixed at Sd
per pound. This rate has been found to be
prohibitiVe. The Porto RiCan tobacco
growers represent that the tobacco indus
try in the island will be ruined unless re-
lief is soon afforded them
