Robbed the Grave.

A startling incident of which Mr..
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
Il was in most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes
sunken, tongue coated, pain contin-
ually in back and sides, no appetite
gradually growing weaker day by day.
Three physicians had given me up.
Fortunately, a friend advised trying
Electric Bitters,' and to my great Joy
and surprise, the first bottle made a
decided improvement. L continued
their use for three weeks. and am now
well man. 1 know they saved
my life, and robbed the grave of an
other victim.' No one should fail to
try them. Only 50 cents per bottle

David Belasco's latest popular crit
ical success as a dramatist will be
given its first performance in this city
Sunday evening at Harper's theatre,
when our play-goers viii have an op-
portunity to judge for themselves
whether there is any exaggeration in
the liberal praise so universally be-
slowed upon its performance else
where. 1.-The Heart of Maryland is
clcanly in expression, the characters
are typical of the living humanity
that forms our social surroundings
and the theme of the story never over
reaches the modesty of nature, nor is
the story itself either in incident or
action other than probable. In The
Heart of Maryland" he has sought TO
give dramatic emphasis TO that quail
ity of dauntless courage and heroic
self sacrifice with which love inspires
women when danger threatens the
one upon whom she has bestowed her
affection. The company is said to be
one of the strongest in artistic repu-
tatiOn that has been included in the
cast of any play at present on tour in
this country.
Considerable interest has been
aroused among the amusement pa
irons of this city in the appearance of
the great j. II. Haverly American

FACING FIRE.
How Horses Are Trained in England
 to Stand Battle.

In the British army the fOur-legged
 recruits are drawn up in ring round
 an instructor, who fires a pistol Some
 take the flash and report very quietly,
 and these are soon passed on to severer trials, while the others have lesson af- ter lesson until they are quite con-
 vinced shat there is no danger to them, and before long you might fire a seven pounder within a yard of them and they would hardly look around. After, this they are taught to face fTe-that is to say, to gallop fearlessly up to a
 line or square of infantry, blazing
 away with their rifles, and to charge
 batteries of Quick-firing guns. Of
 course, only blank cartridges are used,
 and so to a trained horse going into
 battle for the first time there is no
 difference between the harmless thun-
 der of the maneuver and the death
 dealing storm which sweeps over a
 battlefield The poor brute only learns
 what the difference really is by bitter
 experience.
 When smckeless powder came into general use it was found that in many cases horses which would face the
 smoke of guns using black powder without f1inching finched and shied at the flash and roar unaccompanied by smoke. Continental opinion is some what divided as to the moral effect of smokeless rGfwder on men and horses, but the general conclusion seems to be that in daylight it is noIt n1l-re terrify- ing than black powder, although some hold that to see men and hcFses struck down by an invisible agency must nec- essarily ba 50. But it is generally agreed that the use of smOkeless pow der at night has much more disturb ing effect than that of the old powder, because the flashes of the guns unob- scured by smoke are a great deal more vivid. The fear thus inspired can, be overcome by training; but there is another fear which must, in the nature of the case, be felt for the first time on the battle field, and that is the often uncontrcllable terror pro duccd both in men and horses by the of 3ulteits and the screaming and banging of shells. Some authori- ties have, indeed, said that since the of smOkeless powder and the great increase in the range and ac- curacy of weapons it would be impos- i sible to keep cavalry in hand under the fire of modern artillery, but this is

 CamPbelPs meetings at those points.
 He will visit the Tempe lodge tonight
 A good joke on some Garden Valley
 boys, which has been carefully guard
 ed, has just leaked out and is toe good
 to keep. It vii, be remembered that
 a hay ride was indulged in by mem
 bers of the local lodge a few weeks since, the objective point being Floraf lodge, which meets in the Cartwright school house. It was not designed as purely a pleasure trip, but the purpose
 was to help strengthen the ledge and encourage it's members. To that end the visitors had prepared a most eX- cellent programme, consisting of songs, recitatiOns and dialogues, to be con- tributed by the best talent Of the town ledge. Unfortunately, however, a dialogue wa3 put on first, without due preparation Id the whole enter tainment spoiled. The names of the partici pants were not learned, but it seems the pan was for No. 1 to begin he delivery of a stump spech, which Nc. ? would interrupt at short inter Yals. Finally No. 1 would invite No. to come forward and divide the time with him-a minute each, alternately. This would lead to a dispute anal wrangle. in which No. 8 would sud- den-y and unexpectedly take part in. The boys started out to do their part all right and were working up quite q littia excitement, fcr apparently they were in dead earneJt, when the chief templars gavel went down with a bang and his commanding voice was heard above the dispute ordering the Icu1d-be orators to take their seats. He had the authority to compel obedi- enoe, so they subsided. They remem- bGred then, after it was too late, that they had failed to give him a lip, and he supposed it was all in dead earnest, and totally missed the joke. He took occas-on to say that such doings night be all right in Garden Valley lodge, but would not be tolerated ir Floral" This was Q knockout bow, 1 md the ether members of the company | refused to go Cn the stage. The affair | was kept very quiet by the victims, but 1 las leaked out at last.

northward from the fever beds Of San tiago the volunteers as she swung GU. of the Atlantic into American waters sang the old tune with great unction. not emitting to stamp hard upon the decks when they repeated the line: ''She Wept with delight when you gave
 her s;nile.''
 The Am 4rioan line was wavering at Fl Carey- Unsupported by artillery it seemed impossible fer the mEn to longer face the terrific fire poured down upon them by the enemy. On the extreme left there was much con fusion. Officers had lost track of their commands, companies were charging blindly without leaders, and a slaugh- ter or rout was imminent.
 The heat bore the men to the earth. Bre mble and bush tore their flesh. Thirst Of the most aggravating g kind was upon them The mental anguish of the moment was awful, for the foe was undiscernible.
 Some good angel prompted an un- known hero, perhaps an India:ja boy, maybe che from Michigan CT New York, to shout:
 ''The army and navy forever, Three cheers fer She Red, White and
 blue''
 He did not have to supply the other lines The time scared song brought the men to their senses, placed coun- try above physical danger and dis comfort. Lines were reformed, the 'wavering line beC2me an advancing wall and never stopped until defeat was changed 'to victory.
 MNnfa11lx difforenf 60t0P Phe hints of the 14,O0O troops brought there were much scattered. One and two miles often divided commands. The different camps were set on the crests or slopes of sandhills. In the cool Of some evenings, just after the sunset gun, the silence which would fall upon that spit of land jutting into the ocean was oppressive.
 On one such night last August, after a day of nerve wearing heat, when the evening star could be seen fafntly twinlzling fin the west, a sweet breeze swept over the water, up the baked sand cliffs and into the camp of the Tenth cavalry, colOred.
 The freshness of the new air, the pI4cn: ise Of rest from night, moved the spirit of some trooper, perhaps a negro of Virginia, and of a sudden he began to sing:
 Down in the cornfields close by the
 mill
 There lives a .yaller girl, her name is
 Nancy Till"
 Two or three other voices took it up as he reached the chorus: Come. love- come, and go along with
 me,
 And I'll take you down ta Tennessee. '
 The words went floating away up to General Wheeler's headquarters, through the hospital wards, over the little cemetery, into the space above the ocean. Other voices caught up the half mocl1ing refrain:
 Come, love. come"

 AS q copper producer Arizona within five years will lead the world We are third now, being exceeded only by Montana and Michigan, and the copper mining of Arizona, great as it is, is only in it's infancy. Mines that were worked for gold and silver twenty and twenty-five years ago and abandoned because of the b3seness ot the ores and the large percentage of copper. have been reopened and show that they will become very valuable copper properties. One instance of this kind may be cited in Pima county where a mine was bonded for $780, 900 some eighteen years ago and after the bOnders spent $15,000 on it they abandoned it. Recently it has bc5u rcopsned as cOppe: property and has shown up so well that the owners reused second offer Of $150,OOO for it less than thirty days ago.

WHAT DOES A SOLDIER SING?
TuEeful Reminiscence5 of the Days
 Before Fl Caney and Santiago.

The volunteer soldier is not so far removed frcm home influences that he can forget the songs '5hac touched his heart in the twilight of 'tne day. Ger tain songs, certain hymns, are com mon to all parts Of the nation, but every mans mother has had some one melody he preferred to all others, and sooner or later when at the front this finds its way to his lips.
 So it is told of General Chaffee thsi. in the charge of Fl Caney he came upon tprivate deadly white, but mak- ing his way upward through the thicket, under fire, and shouting at the top of his voice:
 How firm a foundation.
 That is a very crtho iOx Presbyter- ian hymn Struck by the pall0r of the man the general asked him why he sung. The answer came quick:
 That's my mothers tune. I'm so darned scared it's all can held on to.
 Nevertheless, he went on and into the enemy's camp.
 The volunteer is fond of Ben BoJt,'' no matter how ancient some foolish people think it has become. When the transport Seneca came
