 Place of Residence in Winter.


 Place of Residence in Winter. Whitelaw Reid. owner a..d editor of the New York Tribune, NJ ho has spent the last two winters in AI::zona for the benefit of his health, writes entortainingly and in structiyely concerning that part of the country. Mr. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as a place for winter residence, and there appears to be such dearth Jf pre- else information among many who are vitally interested, that it seems almost public duty, to set down, ill the simple. form, few facts of personal observation.
 WEATHER,
 During a five months residence in Southern Arizona in winter there was but one day when the weather made it actually unpleasant for ne to take exercise in the open air at some time or other during the day. Of course there were good many days which a weather observer would de scribe as "cloUdy," and some that were "shoyery; but during these five months (trom No elnber. 1895, to May, lS06,j there were only four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dur ing the day.

It seems to have about the same bracing and exhilarating qualities as the air of the Great sahara in Northern Africa, or of the deserts about Mount Sinai, in Arabia Petraea. It is much drier than ID the parts of Morocco Algiers or Tunis usually visited, and drier than any part of the Valley of the Nile north of the First Cataract.

wrote to him, requesting the date OF
his birth and Informing him of the

something in the same spirit that Mr..
Bryan declined recently an invitation
from Mr. Perry Belmont to dinner
with him in celebration of the great
Democrats birthday. Jefrerson's reply.
through Mr.. Levi Lincoln, was as fol-
lows:
