ARIZONA.
Its Attractions and Advantages as q
 Place of Residence ill Winter.

Whitclaw Reid. owner and editor of the New York Tribune, who has spent the last two winters in Arizona for the benefit of his health, writes cntertainingly and in structively concerning that rart of the country Mir. .eid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as place for winter residence. and there appears to be such a dearth of pre- else information among many who are vltally interested, that it seems almost I public duty, t0 set down, in the simplest form, few facts of personal observation.
 WEATHER.
 During a five months residence in Southern Arizona in winter there was but ohe day when the weather made it actually unpleasant for me to take exercise in the open air at some time CT other during the day. Of course there were a good many days which weather observer would de- scribe as ''cloudy, and some that were ''sho"ery; but during these five months (from No' ember, 1895, to May, lS96.) there were only four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dar- ing the day. Even more than Egypt, any where north of Luxor, Arizona IS the laud of sunshine. As to details:
 TEMPERATURE.
 1 have seen the thermometer mark O. degrees in the shade on my north piazza in March. On the other hand, we had frosts which killed young orange trees, and there were several nights when thin ice formed. l The government reports show a mean for fourteen years at the pres snt territorial capital of 573 degrees in November, 53 degrees in December, 40 de ;rces in January, 5i degrees in February, I degrees In March and G6 degrees n

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of ar era of wonderful social anl industrial de veiopment. There can't be a doubt about the fact. The dawn for which she has
 waited so long is breaking at last. There is every promise of a day of great pros perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of new and ene1 gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people. while the cumulative effect ot many things, which made but small i'm. pression as they transpired singIy, is now commanding for her full share of atten. tion and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 4 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There is scramble for franchises. Nothing mora surely indicates great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest arc falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lend IS than this.
 Arizona has reached that climacticer period which every western state has ex- perienced sometime in its history when, after long aud weary struggle and doubt, with each side of the balance first up and then down, the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and sunburst of energiziug hope has thrilled the droop- ing spirits of the people to greater and braver endcavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com pletIon of two transcontinental lines of railroad across her territory-Arizona has ratier dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulating a fund of substantial wealth and force of moral character which qualify her now to rise ur and take her destiny in her own hands.
 The population of Arizona is Mexican This is mistake of great importance fro,n the moral point of view. There is but one center of Mexican population in the territory, the city of Tucson, and even there it is not by any means at pres ent the predominating element. It think it is certain that Arizona has not to-day nearly so large a Mexican population as Colorado and not above one-tenth as much IS New Mexico. >"Fitz- Mac," in Denver News.

April. The same reports show the highest and lowest temperatures, averaged for eight years, at the same place, as follows: For November 7S1a degrees and 42 degrees, December 731l degrees and 361l degrees, January 651a degrees and 32 degrees, Feb ruary 7lH degrees and 351a de rees, March 8l H degrees and Al degrees and April S6H degrees and 46 degrees. The nights throughout the winter are apt to be cool enough for open wood fires, and for blankets. Half the time an overcoat is not needed during the day, but it is never prudent for a stranger to be without one at hand
 The atmosphere IS singularly clear, tonic and dry. 1 have never seen it clearer anywhere in the world. 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 in 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. It seems to me about the same in quality as the air on the Nile between Assouan and Wady- Halfa, but somewhat cooler.

GATARRH OF STOMACH.


Cure for 1t.
Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to
incurable. The usual symptoms
are a full OF bloating sensation
after eating, accompanied some
times with sour or watery risings,
formation of gases, causing pres
sure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathing; headaches,
tickle appetite, nervousness and a
general played out, languid feel
ing.
There is often a foul taste in
the mouth, coated tongue and if the
interior OF the stomach could be
seen it would show a Shiny, in
famed condition.
The cure of this common and
obstinate trouble is found in
treatment which causes the food
to be readily, thoroughly digested
before it has time to feFment and
irritate the delicate mucous sur
faces of the stomach. 70 secure
a prompt and healthy digestion is
the one necessary thing TO do and
when normal digestion is secured
the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to Dr. Harlanson, the
safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal tablet. compos-
ed of Diatase, Aseptic Pepsin, lit
tie Nux. Golden Seal and fruit
acids. These tablets can now be
found at all drug stores under the
name Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's, and not being a patent .edi-
cine can be used with perfect safe
ty and assurance that healthy ap-
petite and thorough digestion will
follow their regular use after
meals.
Mr.. N. j. Booher, of PHO Dear
born ST., Chicago, ILL.,, writes:
'Catarrh is a local condition re-
sulting from neglected cold in
the head, whereby the lining mem
brane of the nose becomes infiamed
and the poisonous discharge there
from passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus
producing catarrh Of the stomach.
Medical authorities prescribed for
me for three years for catarrh of
stomach without cure, but to-day
l am the happiest of men after
using only one box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. 1 cannot find
appropriate words to express my
good feeling. | have found flesh,
appetite and sound rest from their
use"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as we'll as the
simplets and most convenient rem
edy for any form Of indigestion,
catarrh of stomach, biliousness,
sour stomach, heartburn and
bloating after meals.

Both the plate mills at the Belmont

Butchers, brewers and others in this

ice manufactured by the process of
mother nature, are profting by the OPP
portunity to replenish their stores. Those

were doubtful of further opportunity,
have had their misgivings entirely al
layed.
The next bi-monthly wage settlement
for the puddlers and fnisners will be
made at Youngstown, o., next week. The
market price, judging from outside indi-
| cations. seems to have reached a point
which will warrant demand for higher
wages, as the scale Is DdSSu on the mar
ket price. The manufacturers may urge
that the increase in the selling price has
not been in force long enough to justify
a higher wage scale.

Yesterday a representative OF the Reg
lister met one of the largest and most
influential holders of Aetna-Standard
stock. and in reply 10 a question as to
the big plants change of ownership. he
said: Il wish the newspapers which have
been denying the sale of the Aetna-Stand-
ard would stop their vaeilating and put it
down that the plant is sold. Please
state authoritatively that the plant will
surely change hands. and let the discus
sion end at that" The papers that have
been trying to discount the information

What DO You Believe the Greatest Blessing.

Undoubtedly the greatest blessing
to mankind is good health, and what
ever will produce health must be con-
sidered as no less a blessing. The
greatest blessing in the shape OF
medicine is certainly DR.. Greene's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy, discoV-
cred by the famous physician, DR..
Greene, of 35 West 14th St., New York
City, who is, beyond doubt, the most
successful specialist in the world in
curing all forms Of nervous, chronic
or lingering diseases. And the great
blessing of this wonderful remedy is
made all the more sure and certain to
the people by the fact that DR.. Greene
can be consulted and his advice had
in regard to any case of disease abso-
lutely free of charge, whether you call
or write. This means a great deal to
those who have paid out large sums in
doctors fees without benefit. If you
have failed to be cured by your family
doctor, by all means consult this
noted and eminent physician at once
about your case. 1t will cost you
nothing to get his opinion in regard to
your case and his advice will undoubt-
,eGly result in your cure. At least
write him a description of your feel
ings and symptoms, in order that he
may write you what your trouble is
and how it can be speedily cured Re-
member that he has seen and cured
many cases like yours in his large
practice and wide experience, and he.
can give you information about your
case which probably no physician has
yet done.

Enjoyable Event Given by the Opera

SOMETHING OF THE ADDRESSES
WHICH TREND UPON MATTERS
OF INTEREST TO LABOR.
LARGE ATTENDANCE AT THE
SESSION.

The grand social session given by
Local Union No. 6. of the National
Brotherhood Of Operative Potters, at
Pythian Castle last night, was a
notable event with the members of the
fraternity here and did much to pro-
mote good will and fellowship, as well
as to awaken them to a keener appre-
citation of the demands of the hour
upon their important work and call
ing. National President, A. s. Hughes
was unable to be present, but sent as
his personal representative Mr.. S. C.
mccarthy, editor of the Commoner and
Glassworker. Mr.. McCarty addressed
the assembly at some length and adj
vised the operatives to pay more at
tention to the hours of labor, and ap-
prentice system than they have in the
past.
President Tighe, of the Trades As
sembly, in his talk dwelt upon tie
necessity of thorough organization,
taking as his text, They take away the
house who take away the prop that
doth sustain the house; they take
away the life. who take away the
necessities by which We live" Mr..
| Stevenson advocated the the ballot for

he, the welfare of those who toll de-
ponds greatly upon the laws which in
fluence the market in which they sell
their labor Mr.. Stevenson's witty
anecdotes were one of the real treats
of the evening.
T. j. Duffy, in his address of well
come, said in part:
This is one object of this gathering
tonight, to try to bring into our ranks
those who still remain on the outside.
If l asked any of them if they believe
that the union is a good thing they
will answer yes. If | ask them why
they don't belong to it, one will say
that he would not belong to it because
personal enemy of his belonged to it
and he would not join a union with
that man. Imagine a soldier refusing
to fight the battles of his country be-
cause personal enemy was in the
ranks. Would you not brand such a
man as narrow minded, selfish and a
disloyal citizen? And yet it is exact
ly what they are doing. Why do they
not take up courage and exercise their
principle of manhood. and enlist in the
ranks and fight for that cause which
they think is just, as cause which is
as holy as any soldier fought for on
field of battle, a cause which concerns
their very life? Others will say that
they believe in unionism, but they
don't think that it is run right. Why
don't they come in and help to run it
right? If they know how to run it
right they will always find a place on
top. The greatest reason why things
are not run right is because there
are too many workingmen on the out
side whom we fear, AS Lincoln said
during the civil war, the greatest enemy
he had to contend was within
the bosom of his own country.
SO the greatest enemy we have
to contend with is the labor
ing man who refuses to unite with us
to claim and maintain our rights"
Refreshments were served during the
evening, and the session was closed by
singing the ode, God Bless Our Broth

Senator Burke Proves a Dangerous Wit
ness Against Him.

CLEVELAND. o., February 1.-The
most important witness in the trial of
Judge F. E. Dellenbaugh in the Circuit
Court was on the stand nearly all day.
He was State Senator Vernon H. Burke,
whose statements to two judges of the
common pleas bench led to the inpestiga-
ton which preceded the formal charges.
He again told the story of the Manning
case wherein Mrs. Manning obtained
decree of. divorce from her husband and
$1,000 in cash by way of settlement from
an unnamed woman who was accused of
alternating her husbands affections.
Burke said Dellenbaugh turned the case
over to him on being appointed to the
bench, but continued to take an interest
in it, giving advice to Mrs. Manning.
Judge Dellenbaugh, he testified, granted
the divorce decree to Mrs. Manning. He
further testified that he divided the heavy
fees in the case with the judge while the
latter was on the bench. A rigid cross
examination failed to shake Burke's tes-
timOny.
