S. R. DELONG
An Interesting Story of the Life of a
 Pioneer.

! One of the best known and best liked pioneers of Tucson is $. R. De Long,
 says the Tucson Citizen. Mir. De Long
 was born in Clinton county, N. Y, on December 28, 1928. He graduated from the college at Plattsburg, N. Y. in June, 1S4S, and two years later he start ed for the marvellous land of gold. Cal ifornia. He made the trip by the au- water route. around tne Horn, and was lucky enough to find a chance to work his way on a ship and plucky enough to take advantage of it.
 As soon as MT. De Long arrived in California he started mining in Amador county. at which he was fairly success ful. There were no free schools in Cal ifornia in those days and school teach ing was a very profitable business. Af- ter spending several years at mining he took advantage of q good opportunity which offered itself and opened a pri- vate school at Drytown in Amador. county. This school he conducted un- til 1SG1
 Mir. De Long. however. was not in California all of this time. In 1853 he made trip back to New York state, returning in 1854. He also made trip to New York state and back in 1856. Both of these times he made the trip each way by the steamer and Central America route. In 1858 he made a third trip east by the same route going. however. only as far east as Minnesota. where his mother then lived. He made the trip back to California this time overland. All of the journey from {. Fort Smith, in the Indian Territory. to Sacramento, Cal, he made by stage, riding day and night. He was twenty two days and nights going from Fort Smith to Sacramento. It was when upon this trip he saw Tucson the first time, for the stage went by way of Fl Paso, Tucson and Yuma.
 In 1861 Mir. De Long enlisted as a private in the First California volun- teers and in 1S66 he was mustered out as a first lieutenant at Santa Fe. The most of the time that Mir. De Long was in the army he was stationed in Ari- zona, although 9 part of the time he was in New Mexico. and his time was mainly occupied with fighting Indians He was in Tucson a number of times and was so pleased with this city that as soon as he was mustered out he came directly here.
 MT: De Long secured employment with the mining and mercantile firm of p. F. Fully and E,stevan Ochoa, and was received into partnership with them in 1870. In 1869 he started mer- cantile business at Bowie and ran that as a side issue until 1891. although his home and principal business continued 10 be in Tucson. Tn 1891 AIr. De Long closed out all of his mercantile affairs. but still continued to devote some at tantion to mining. During the last twenty years MT. De Long has owned and operated mines in a half a dozen different mining districts in Arizona and he has made and negotiated many gales. His skill as a mining expert is admitted by every miner in the terri tory, and there is scarcely d man in Arizona whose opinion upon mining properties is more eagerly sought after. 1

IF you defeat Champlin, you can eX-
pect nothing from us" The present
contest Is not a party matter. Cham
pin and Dickinson are both republic
cans, running on independent nominal
lions, but Dickinson has the young men

therefore is whether Dickinson wins

a finely running machine, is disrupted,

thing for republicanism in Cambridge
if there were a third candidate, who
could defeat both.
1t begins to look as though Congress-
man Lawrence would get on the river
and harbor committee after all, but If
he does, it will be a great victory.
Speaker Reed agreed to put him on a
year ago, and it looked easy. There are
two vacancies, one caused by the re-
tirement of Congressman Barrett. But
Speaker Henderson finds himself in
this fix: New York insists on a place
on the committee; California insists
also, and the whole Pacific coast, it
seems, is without representation on the
committee. Henderson must therefore
pass by either New York or the Pacific
coast if he appoints Lawrence. For
this reason it is evident why members
of the chamber of commerce and the
great commercial interests of Boston
have TONED forces with western Mas
sachusetts in Lawrence's behalf. If
he gets the place it will be a great
victory The pilgrims to Washington in
his behalf report Henderson courteous
and friendly, but promising nothing.

ALL IN FINE FETTLE.
None of the Six day
Riders Feels Ex-
hausted.

New York, Dec. 10.-There was a
marked contrast in the condition of the
bicyclists who finished in the six-day
race, which was completed Saturday
night at the Madison square garden, to
their exhausted condition at the finish
Of the race last year. Today saw all
of the successful riders in excellent
physical shape, and several of them
took long walks this afternoon.
Miller, after the race, was taken to
the baths. He retired at a. M, and
arose at noon, and after eating a hearty
breakfast left his hotel, and in COM
pany with his wife, called on friends
Waller his partner in the race, retired
at the same hour. He too was given
a Turkish bath after the race. He slept
until o'clock this afternoon. Both
men expressed themselves as feeling
satisfied with the race, and said they
felt as though they could start on an
other week of racing.
Maya and McEachern, the team that
finished second, were early up and
about the corridors of the hotel at
which they are staying. Fischer and
Chevalier, the French team, at noon
today, with the entire foreign delega-
ton of trainers and managers, break
tasted at French restaurant. Victor
Breyer, the manager in chief, said he
was satisfied with the place his men
had taken in the race. His men, he
said, would probably remain in the city
until the question of a proposed six-day
race in Boston had been definitely set
tied. They would continue training
at the garden.
Gimm and Pierce, winners of the

satisfied riders. Pierce said that his

MRS. DEWEY'S DRESS.
The Trials of Reporter Who Wanted
to Describe 1t.

to Describe 1t.
A washington correspondent desir-
ing to make as much as possible out
of the Dewey-Hazen wedding, felt i'm
PEELED to give a description of the dress
worn by the bride for travelling. Such
descriptions We're entirely out of his
line, but necessity is the mother Of in
vention. He created an extraordinary
costume, with a merely impressionist
idea of color to give it character. The
costume NAV have been of broadcloth
of the shade known as elephants
breath. or fawn color, or anything else
of that general description, but he
called it a kind of gray silky stuff,
which served his purpose and seemed
to read al right. Around the collar
very gray fur, which he was convinced
must have a kigh-sounding name, the
use of which would give character and
dignity to his general description.
AS he returned to his office from the
depot, he reVolved the matter in his
mind and tired to think what sort Of
fur it might be. He thought of every
thing from ermine to muskrat skin
without getting the right sort of a sill
very gray impression.
Suddenly a brilliant idea struck him.
He was LEASING a furrier's, and he
rushed breatElessly into the establish
ment. and il an incorherent fashion
asked young lady who stood behind
the counter what sort of very ex-
pensive fur of a silvery gray color
might be wcrn by lady who wanted
to appear at her best without regard to
cost. Then. feeling that he had not
made himself quite clear, he explained
that he was trying to find name for
the collar of Mrs. Dewey's cloak.
Mrs Dew What, have they
really gone and got mar--?' ex-
claimed the girl, throwing her hands up
like a French doll.
Eyes, they are married. The fur
is a peculiarly glossy gray broke in
the impatient correspondent.
"Weu. 1 declare! Just what thought
he'd do. Just like Dew"
"A sort of glossy, silvery gray, with
long hair"
"Oh, yes; I know what that is. Well,
well. / declare! He does not believe in
wasting time When was it? Where,
how. who was there? Tell me about
it," And the girl leaned over the
counter. her eyes sparkling with in
terest and cheeks colored with excite
ment.
Just a little while ago. No one was
there What sort of fur did you say
it was?"
ooh, yes; it must have been silver
You say they just got married.
How ] wish 1 had been there! And
there wasn't anybody present. She
must have felt proud, and he Did
he wear his uniform? Oh, and his
sword Oh, Mary, do you hear
what this gentleman says? Dewey's
married"
But the fur"
"Of course; but I can't think for
thinking of it. So they are married?
Isn't that sweet? Oh, 1 forgot. 1t
might have been this, or this, or this"
after another. ooh, 1 wonder how she
looked. I'd give a lot to have seen
it,"
The correspondent made a bolt for
the door. with the consciousness of a
wire waiting for him, and wrote gray

TWIN BROTHERS.
Story Told of the Courtship of Gov.
Lowndes of Maryland.

Story Told of the Courtship OF GOV.
Lowndes of Maryland.
If Lloyd Lowndes, Jr., had not had a
twin brother, Richard, he might not
have been married at Chillicothe, Ohio,
last week. The twins are sons of Gov:
Lloyd Lowndes of Maryland. The bride
was Miss May Campbell Quinn, daugh-
ter of c. Quinn, Vice-President of
the First National Bank of Chillicothe.
Lloyd and Richard Lowndes have
often been mistaken for each other.
Richard has been married several years
and lives in Clarksburg, w, Virginia
About a year ago he was going west
when he was approached on the train
by young man who slapped him fam
iliarly on the back and said:
Hello, Lloyd, what luck?" he cried.
You're going to pass through my town
and I want you to stop off and spend
the night with me-"
Richard said he was not Lloyd, but
the other insisted that he was and
would not take no for an answer.
Richard despairing of convincing
him of the error, allowed himself to
be persuaded to stop over at Chillicothe.
Among the people he met there was
Miss Quinn, to whom he was intro
duced as his hosts old college chum
Lloyd Lowndes. His account of his
visit interested his brother so much
that Lloyd entered into correspondence
with Miss Quinn and finally went
to Chillicothe to visit her. 1t is related
that Miss Quinn did not discover the
difference between the two brothers
and that when Lloyd finally told her
he had a hard time to convince her
of the truth.

New York, Dec. 9.-Seated before his
glass in the stage dressing room Of the
Garden theatre, Richard Mansfield,
while making up" for Cyrano de Ber-
gerac, said: II take as much care in the
study of my makeup as in the study
of my lines. The colors of the makeup
box, like the pigments on a palette, are
both for portraiture. Canvas is the
background of one the human counter
ance is the background Of the other. One
set of paints is put on with Difference
to daylight, the other is blended with
reference to artificial light"
1t is this serious consideration of the
business of making-up, CHASING it with
portrait painting, and studying 1t and
practicing 1t as kindred art that has
helped Mansfield to his eminence as an
actor of broader versatility than others
on our stage in the opinion Of critics
Because his results are accomplished
by so much study, allied to natural
gift as an artist and because his results
With the powder and grease paints are
so much desired by other actors, he
keeps his secrets very guardedly. No
one ever sees Mansfield make up but
his dresser. He usually comes early to
the theatre, when playing Cyrano, as
early as half-past six. AS he goes into
his sanctum sanctorum, you see Mans
field disappear. When the call boy has
announced his cue, you see emerge a
totally different person.
Many an actor would give much to
know some Of Mansfield's methods in
transforming his courtenance. To as
sumo the hard and heavy eyebrows of
Shylock is not mach of ca trick, but 1t
is noteworthy to observe that, with
nearly the entire natural surface of his
face in view, perhaps a slight mustache
used occasionally, this artist transforms
his face into a whole gallery Of por-
traits.
In "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" he ac-
tually made the transition in full view
Of the audience. One minute he is seen
handsome, bright-faced, attractive

POOL TOURNAMENT,
MostSuccessful Event
of Worcester
Cycle Club.
WALTER BROWN LEADS.
WALTER BROWN LEADS.
There Are 10 Entries and a
Total of 342
Games.

The pool tournament which is in
progress at the Worcester Cycle club,
is one of the most successful events of
its kind ever conducted by any organ
ization Of its kind in this city. The
tournament was started only few
weeks ago, but such lively interest
has been manifested in it by the mem
bers that the tables are in almost con-
slant use. There are 10 entries and
each man plays a game with every
other man, making the total number
Oh games 342 The committee in charge
OF the tournament looks for the finish
about Christmas, if the members con-
tlnue to show as much interest as
they have thus far.
The games are SO balls continuous
pool, under the regular rules of pyra-
mid pool. The handicapping was we'll
done, as several contesting for the lead
have various marks. Walter Brown is
the only contestant who appears to
have been any too we'll treated by the
handicappers. He was one of the two
men VINO got the limit, being given
start of rs balls, which is of course a
big start in a game of so. But Brown
either played off, in his practice be-
lore the opening OF the tournament or
else has improved wonderfully since it
began, as he has won all his games
but two. Despite his good mark, it is
not certain that he will win. A. w.
Chase, one of the low mark men, stands
the best chance if he continues at the
gait he has struck, and which has last
ed for him well into the contest. He
has played dozen of his IS games, and
has not lost a contest. He is next to
low man, having a handicap of four
balls only. P. j. Smith, scratch man,
has a lighting chance. He did not play
quite UP to his standard in the early
part of the tournament, but later struck
his gait and has been winning consist
emily.
If Brown loses another game and
Smith continues to win as he has been
doing of late, he can tie Brown for
whatever place the latter makes.
Chase has apparently the best chance.
With only half a dozen games to play,
he should be able to win five of the
six, having won II straight already.
None of the other players have any
chance for first place. They have al
ready lost enough money to put them
out of the race. The positions of the
men in the tournament thus far are as
follows:

THE OLD HOME HAUNTs.


(F Colburn Clarke in the Other Side)
There's sound that rings in my ears to-
That echoes in vague refrain,
The ripple of water DER smooth-washed
Where the wall-eyed pike and the black
That makes me yearn, in a quiet way,
For my old fly-rod again.
Back to the old home haunts again.
Back where the clear lake lies;
Back through the woods
Where the blackbird broods,
Back to my rod and flies
I'm longing to paddle the boat today
Through water-logged grass and reeds;
Where the muskrat swims, and the cat
Where the air is cool and the mist is gray;
Where ripples dance in the same old way,
Under the tangle weeds.
Back on the old oak log again,
Back by the crystal brook
Back to the bait,
And the silent wait,
Back to my line and hook.
[ wish I could wade by the waters edge,
Where the fallen leaves drift by;
Just to see in the shadow of the ledge,
How dark forms glide, like woodman' s
Through driftwood piles and the coarse
marsh sedge,
And to hear the bittern cry.
Back where the tadpoles shift and sink,
Back where the bullfrogs sob;
Back just to float
In the leaky boat
Back to my dripping bob.
Oh, it's Just like this on each misty day.
it's always the same old pain
That struggles and pulls in the same old
way
To carry me off for a little stay
By the waters edge, in sticky clay,
To fish in the falling rain.
Back to my long black rubber boots,
Back to my old patched coat;
Back to my rod
And the breath of God
Home-and my leakY boat

SPORTING DUCHESS A winner.

New York, Dec 1O-Mrs. Amelia
Westphal opened a hotel today at No.
Ala Pearl street. The sign above the door
reads; THE Sporting Duchess"
This is the real evidence of the return
to prosperity of this woman, who has
again proved her title as the Sporting
Duchess" On the east side probably
no woman IS better known.
Last June her husband, Policeman
Anthony Westphal was killed trying
to stop a runaway. For nearly twenty
years he had been on the force. His wife
last came into public notice by her ap-
peal to the police board for a pension.
She claimed she had been ruined by
loaning money to policemen and poll
ticians who never settled. In this way
she had lost $50 coo.
Over her husbands dead body she had
sworn never to again gamble or play
the races. But sporting blood will tell.
The woman had only small stake
her husbands insurance money-but
she went to the races last August and
won. She kept on multiplying her
money until the season closed. Then
she backed a few people who knew how
to play poker. She knew how to pick the
good ones, for no one on the east side
could play better hand of draw than
she.
Her agents prospered and the total
