END OF THE FIGHT
NOfhinQ 10 Do but Cast and
 Count inc Votes.
Fir. HonIhon Again ReIapSeS Into she Old Habif of II taking Promises. A AForecaSf of inc Result of inc Municipal Struggle.

A more or less spirited municipal campaign caroe to an end last night That is, it was said to be an end, but the real end will not be reached by the workers until the last vote has been cast this evening. Interest cen- ters chiefly in the contests for mar shal, city assessor and tax collector and councilman from the First ward. The reelection of T. A. Jobs for re- corder was practically conceded by the democrats, as was that of l. M. Christy for treasurer. Notwithstanding a strong fight made by the democrats against c. J. Dyer in the First ward, there was a predominating belief that he would be reelected. It was agreed by both parties that the results of the collector and Third ward councilman twas doubtful. Democrats claimed the election of Gang for mayor and many republicans were willing to concede 1t notwithstanding Mir Gang has taken little interest in the campaign and that comparatively little work has been done for him.
 The democratic central committe, discovered late yesterday afternoon that the republican candidate, J. D Monihon, was a many sided individual and that he had thrown out a bait for the church vote. The committee learned that a couple Of prominent democratic church members were working for Monihon without any ap- parent reason. subcommittee wis ited them and inquired wherefore their pernicious activity in behalf of MT Monihon. They replied that MT. Monihon had pledged himself pri vately to certain badly needed reforms in case of his election. He promised in the first place to stop the Sunday might band concerts, to close the sa looms on Sundays and to exclude the street preachers from the street cor ners during the hours of regular church worship.
 The subcommittee pointed out to these recent Monihon c converts the un- likelihood of MT. Monihon redeeming these pledges, however worthy the ob- jects to be attained. His profuseness of election promises to all classes was recalled. They said he would not hesitate to promise to make the Salt river run back toward Temne if it would add to the probability of his

MRS. GATES REPORT
How womar Suffrage was Defeated
 in Arizona.

Mrs Carrie Chapman Catt, witb whom the Twentieth Arizona legisla- ture spent Q great deal of time flirting last winter, when Mrs. Catt thought Il was in earnest, has just submitted a report to the National Woman's Sui frage association by which she had been accredited to Arizona and Miss Mary c. Hay to Oklahoma. Both have submitted reports, and through both there rings a vail of woe. Mrs. Catt's report is of some local interest, as it incidentally shows that the largest liquor business, if rightly managed in Arizona, is not wholly un- profitable. The following is a sum- mary of the military campaign in this territory:
 ''Tha governor urgently rtcom- mended woman suffrage in his mes sage, and in one weeks time Mrs Chapman Catt and Miss Hay had their bill introduced and a joint hear ing in both houses. There WAS an i'm mense audience, much enthusiasm and the bill passed the house by a vote of 19 to ,. The four daily papers in Phoerix championed it, and most of the papers in the territory were fa- vorable. Four of the leading men in Arizona came 400 miles to help secure suffrage for women, and a number Of men in Phoenix gave every possible assistance.
 The enemy concentrated it's whole force on the council, or upper house, which consists Of only twelve mem bers. Here, as everywhere, the re- lentlegs opponents of woman suffrage are tho saloon keepers, and the leader of them known as Gus" is said to net S30,OOO a year from his Palacp saloon.
 Seven of the twelve pledged them.

DEWEY DAY
In Spite Of inc Wind There Was a
 Big Crowd af Mesa.

A strong wind did not prevent 1, ,50O Phoenicians from going to the Dewey Day picnic at Mesa yesterday One thousand people would have met the estimate of the most liberal guessing M. & P. road man. Aaron Goldberg distributed 200 tickets among the school children, and there were a few others at the depot who saw that none of the children had to remain at home for lack of transportation. No less than 5000 people were at Daly's grove during the ceremonies. They came from all the districts of the south side. the wagon roads being crowded with vehicles about the vicinity of the pie nic grounds
 Feasting was the first thing, after which the picnickers were entertained by sack races and other events of that nature. Captain J. L. B. Alexander was master of ceremonies and at ? o'clock in the afternoon he called for the event of the day The trees inter cepted the wind to some extent. Of 2
 
 aid the oncoming ceremonies, but the was no sound of trumpets, but the Pioneer band and the exclamations of approval as Queen Edna Bradley and her retinue filed over the aisle Of flowers to the throne united to make the occasion one to be remembered. Sixteen young ladies took part in a drill at the foot of the throne, which concluded with a May Day song. crowning oration in which he fittingiy proclaimed Mis- S Bradley Queen of May. Miss Edna bore her claim of ru1srship with easy grace. The two attendants were Miss Louise Swetnam and Miss Lucy Johnson, who crowned the queen.
 The stand was decorated with pa triotic colors and large American flag which was uniurledl by Judge c. M. Frazier, the orator of the day. In his remarks MT. Frazier spoke of May l as Dewey Day, He also spoke of the boyhood of George Dewey and was greeted with frequant applause
 The day was celebrated in Phoenix by the closing Of nearly all places of business after noon but the public of fees, city, county and territorial were kept open, for May Day is not, as many believe, legal holiday. It was never celebrated here except by the schools. The association of Dewey with it, though, has given it the char acter of national holiday.

selves to stand by the suffrage bill; ] five kept their word.
 ''In spite of the backing which the | opponents had, the sentiment of the better classes is so strong for woman suffrage that they did not dare to let the bill come to a vote, and this was prevented by majority of only two. '' | In a. review of the disaster Mrs. Catt observes:
 "I know that the saloons collected 2 fund to defeat this bill I know that every member received letters or tel- egraIns from the chief saloon keepers of his district threatening his politi- cal ruin, If he voted for this bill. h no state is woman suffrage nesded worse than in Arizona. We could have had the submission of an amendment to he people in the twinkling of an eye. Both legislatures begged us to com promise in that way but we would not. Arizona has a Mexican vote, and Oklahoma negro vote which, man. ipulated by the saloons would defeat the measure for years to come. It is time enough for an amendment after statehood, when suffrage can be had in no other way
 The report is closed as follows
 We are not defeated by conviction but by crime. It was not a defeat of woman suffrage, but condemnation of man suffrage. Such a tale of brih- cry, corruption and wickednes5 as nave been forced to tell you (and J have related only a small parD is enough to make all of us long to give up the strife. But if bribery is to con- tinUe, if saloons, gambling dens and houses of prostitution are to control politics and dictate laws, what is to become of our country? What. kind of 9 civilization are we bequeathing to posterity? Woman suffragists are pa triotic and they are not towards. We will not desert the cause because dc feated, but will fight the good fight as long as life 1asts.'
 Among the suggestions that are made is one that congress shall curtstl the gambling and lot tery business in the territory, and one that the territorial legisla- tors shall reoeive, salaries sufficient to induce honest and efficient men te serve in that capacity.

IN A CUBAN PRISON.
Emmil Cassi, Formerly of Phoenix.
 Writes for Money and Aid.

The following is part of a letter re- ceived recently by Philip Columbus Of Bisbee from Emil Cassi, in Havana, who is confined in prison there for shooting a Cuban officer. Cassi was | for some time member of the Pioneer band of this city. He writes:
 "I write you to explain the particu- lars of my unfortunats situation. The evening of the 10th of March I was directed to headquarters to ask the state of health of my captain, Estam- pes. who, together with ten other po- Iicemen, was wounded in street fight by some negroes and Cuban soldiers. Just as I passed before the Ing.aterra hotel I saw in the dark a fight going on I interfered to separate the fight CTS and arrest them, but I saw that gun was drawn and pointed at me. At the same time two men who at this time were behind me tried to pull me away in a manner which 1 had reason to believe that their object was to prevent me from effecting the arrest. I pulled out my Policeman's revolver and ordered the mar who had the gun pointed at me to drop it. Instead of obeving me he; tried to make room in the crowd so as to prevent ne catch ing him, and I, seeing the danger or being shot at any minute, fired in the air. ordering him to drop the p.stol. The man ran away and I fired another shot intending to call for help to ef- feet the arrest ard I followed him into cafe near by, as 1 saw him entering The provost guard of the Eighth infantry ran on the place, and seeing me with a pistol drawn fired at me at very close range. The result was the man was found wounded in the stomach and after an operation was performed on him he died. The man appeared to be a conmandante and friend of the chief of police. 1 was arrested before my report was taken from me- Every possible insult was thro VII at me. I wa: held 1n- comunicado, so depriving me of the benefit of getting ths real witnesses, and later was thrown irto Spanish dungeon to live with criminals l am calm. hoping cn the Am:rican flag and justice. I need lawyer and 1 trust that you will help me to get one.
 During my stay in Bisbee I made friends and I wish you would try ana see them. You know the trouble Of police officer I have to fight for my freedom as you kE-ow I could net be a criminal I have done my duty and I do not see how : could get out when I saw the fight The judges arr all Cubans as are the lawyers, and l must get an American lawyer because I shall not trust but those who are breathing the air of that big, large. honest country of ours. l mean the country which we made our own.
 s.I am a T. S. lieutenant of police and not a Cuban police officer, as ! took cath again and a thousand times again to the country which owe my living for years.

election. Upon this representation to them the enthusiasm of the late Moni- hon converts cooled to such an extent that they promised to cease working g for him. When this private pledge made by Mir Monihon was given pub 1icity, there was indignation among that part of the community which favors the Sunday concerts Still mo- body believed that he had actually contemplated the suppression of the concerts, or that he would make a move toward suppressing them if he were mayor. Everybody knew that the band would still play on, and that the itinerant preacher would continue to expound on the street corners
 It was the silly attempt to fool the church people that created the general discontent which is threatening to find expression against him from both sides Said a concert man: ''I know there is no danger Of closing the con- certs. I'll bet 'S10 that I can go to Monihon tonight. and get a promise from him to close the churches while the concert is going on"
 The fight against c. J. Dyer in the First ward has aroused a strong su5- picicn of a conspiracy to beat the oity out of money that is due it. MT Dyer's strongest opposition does not live in his ward; it is headed by men against whom an action is pending to recover $5,000, the amount of A. A Longs dedication. The suspicion is that the purpose is to secure the eIec- tion of council that will consent to 3 withdrawal of that action.

How to Become Rich.

In the March number of Pearson's
magazine are articles from the ten lead
ing self-made millionaires of America.
The first article was dictated by Mr..
Charles Broadway Rouss, the New York
merchant prince who started as clerk
in small store in Winchester, Va, and
is to-day worth 10000, 600, His advice
to young men how to become rich, is
given from an experience that has lifted
him to the front ranks. He disproves of
credit and partnership and advises cash
and cash purchases; impresses the possess
sion of industry. economy and prompt
ness as essentials to successful career;
tells us to abhor credit and gives other
wholesome advice. A fac simile of his
signature appears, and accompanying the
article is a cut of his office with him sit
ting in his easy chair debating his views
to his private secretary.

Mr.. A. b. Baker of the national ZOO
logical park notes that the large snakes
refuse to eat rats captured about tho
buildings, but quickly devour those
caught ont of doors. Rats taken indoors
were then kept for day or 20 in a cage
with an earth floor, after which they
were readily eaten. A very similar ex-
perience was had with smaller snakes,
copperheads, these declining to eat
house mice, permitting them to run
about the cage or even over their bodies
with impunity, while field mice were
quickly taken even after they had been
dead for some little time. These facts
seem to show that snakes have very
keen sense of smell and are largely
guided by it in the choice of their food.
