THE BEST EDUCATION
Synopsis of DR.. HaIseV'S Sunday
Evening Sermon

AT the Baptist church last evening
DR.. Halsey preached on THE Best
Education" from the text: First
Samuel, 1:27-2S, For this child I pray
ed and the Lord hath given me my
petition that I asked of Him. There
FORE also, have lent him to the Lord;
as long as he liveth he shall be lent
unto the Lord" He spoke in part, as
follows
Consecrating and dedicating her son
to the service of God, this mother in
Israel sought for him not wealth or
worldly honor, but holiness and the
fear of the Lord. She brought him to
the temple of God. Every year she
made pilgrimage to the temple,
bringing to her boy a little coat as a
token Of his mothers love and watch
care.
Great was the reward of that self
sacrificing mother. She was blessed
in her heart, in her home, in the life
of her SON. Parents should seek for
their children purity, knowledge sand
power He who is good may not be
great but he is sure to be happy. He
who lends to the Lord, accepts no
doubtful security. The only real
wealth is in character, and he is the
richest man who is the most Christ
ike. 100 OII6n parents OSllO-
erately to consecrate their children to
the service of mammon. If they live
to be aged they reap their reward in
the neglect and ingratitude of those
whom they have trained to ingratitude
and self seeking.
The people of Phoenix appreciate
educational advantages and improve
them. Yet we ought to have more
school buildings and better paid teach
ers. A bright young graduate of Cor
nell university, who is said to have
been offered $500 in Phoenix. accepted
81. 500 in California. There is nothing
gained by having poor school accom-
modations or by employing cheap"
teachers. The school house is next to
the last place at which to begin econ
omizing. We have good schools and
good teachers in Phoenix.
The best education is the most pro-
fitable, and it sometimes is wise for a
parent to deny himself the companion
ship and assistance of his son that he
may obtain the education which will
best fit him for usefulness.
Education of the intellect is not ALL
knowledge of human nature, skill in
any department of industry, the ability
to influence men by association with
them,-all these are useful to those
who would so live as to make the
most of their lives in the service of
man and of God.
Much of the education of our youth
is acquired from the newspapers. How
important then that parents should
provide for their children the best
newspapers. There are hosts of good
periodicals, like the Harper's, The
Cosmopolitan, Success and The Youths
Companion: and there is a far greater
host of perilous publications filled
with trash, or folly or deflement. The
poor paper costs almost as much as

The charm and power of poetry
mainly depends upon three elements
rhythm, sentiment and the euphonv
and expressiveness of the wording. The

ment to be expressed as we'll as pleas
ing to the ear. There are meters for
rollicking gaiety, for sadness and
mourning, for softness, sweetness, ten
derness and other moods. Every word
of our language has it's own charae-
teristic expression, entirely aside from
its dictionary significance. If the nat
ural expression of word is such as to
reinforce its meaning, much is gained,

glittering, glide, slip, slide and a null
titude of others are examples. Smooth
transitions in the pronunciation of the
successive words also add much to the
pleasure to be derived from the poetry.
But entirely aside from these consid-
erations, the greatest power of poetry
lies in it's subject matter. 1t must be
something that appeals to the magma
ton, the ideal, far removed from all
that is selfish, sordid or unworthy:
something that touches the heart,
moves the sympathies, excites emula-
ton or ambition. Poetry yields a
mightier power for swaying the feel
ings of men than any other form of
human effort; not even excepting ora
tory, whose power is exerted only upon
the audience, and is then forgotten.
Great thoughts put in verse are like
coins from the mint-they pass from
hand to hand and their value is known
as long as they remain in circulation.
Some of the grandest poetry known to
the world is to be found in the Psalms
of the Scriptures, but i'm the transla-
ton from the Hebrew the versification
has been lost, and the poetry loses
much of it's power.

A SENSATIONAL MOVE
The Latest Phase of fhe CObrc
Grande Nine Litigation.

J.Henry Woods, who has been and
claims to be at the present time secre-
tary and treasurer of the Cobre
Grande mining company of Sonora,
Mexico, was placed under arrest. yes
terday, shortly after the noon hour,
at the instance of Scott White, sheriff
of Cochise county, who claims to hold
the office occupied by Mr.. Woods by
virtue of an election held at a recent
meeting of a majority of directors COM
posing the official board.
Mr. White telegraphed yesterday to
Sheriff Murray, requesting him 10
make the arrest, as Mr.. Woods IS in
this city. The telegram stated that
the alleged offense is grand larceny
The Geographic request was accord
ingly complied with. Mr.. Woods
evinced little or no surprise. accepting
the unenviable position philosophically.
His attorneys, Messrs. Chalmers and
Baker & Bennett, were Immediately
notified of the turn affairs had taken
and an effort was made to secure his
release on bail. This was found to be
impossible, however, as the offense
charged is a felony and appearance
must be made in the county in which
the act is claimed to have been COM
-
mitted.
1t was understood last night that
Sheriff White was on his way to Phoe
nix to secure his prisoner and will ar
rive here this morning. In the mean
time Mr.. Woods has been released
practically on his own recogniZance
and with the exception of a few hours
yesterday afternoon, when he awaited
the arrival of his attorneys at the
sheriff's office, it could not be said
that he was under arrest or close sur
veillance.
The affairs of the mining company
appear to be getting mixed with amaz-
ing celebrity. The interests represented
by Sheriff Scott White of Cochise
county were enjoined by Judge Street
from taking any action toward dispos-
sessing either President Costello or
Secretary Woods from office. The in
junction appears to have been disre-
garded. however, and the directors in
control of the company elected officers
to fill the alleged vacancies. One
of these was Sheriff White as secre-
tary to succeed Mr.. Woods. A second
Injunction was served upon them in
order to prevent them from exercising
the prerogatives of these offices. This
injunction, it is supposed, was served
upon them Saturday evening.
1t was stated by Judge Baker, last
night, that Mr.. Woods brought the ac-
count books of the company with him,
last Friday night, and placed them i'll
the home office of the corporation. This
office is in the Fleming block in this
city and Mr.. Woods carries the key to
the same in his pocket. 1t is supposed
that the charge of grand larceny is
founded upon the fact of the removal
of the, books from the office at Bisbee
to this city. If, as stated, the ad-
verse interests are in charge of the
mine it is obvious that the absence of

the account books places the posses
sors at a decided disadvantage in
carrying on the business operations of
the mine.
THE arrest of Mr.. Woods" said
Judge Baker last night, is a high
handed affair. It is an attempt to use
the criminal laws of the territory to
further a civil action"
Mr.. Woods was accompanied to this
city by his wife and son and when
placed under arrest the former ex-
pressed his regret over the occurrence
on their account.
1t is more than probable that other
developments in the litigation will fol-
low in quick succession, as both sides
appear to have their fighting blood up
and are not sparring for time.

THE BEGINNINGS OF ART.
BY Julian Willard.
(Fifth Paper.)

(Fifth Paper.)
The arts of music, poetry and the
, dance undoubtedly developed hand in
hand. The play instinct in man found
early expression in various movements
and exercises,-leaps, runs and kicks
especially upon the occasion of partic-
ular events. 1t is readily conceivable
that for frequent occurrences of the
same event the same exercises would
naturally recur. In the course of time
they would become formalized and at
certain points cries or shouts would be
uttered. These points would become
more orderly in their recurrence;
drums would be introduced, changes of
information in the voice, and finally,
some musical instrument. Thus by a
ma tural progression we arrive at the
dance, consisting of a series of move
ments tremendously related to one an
other, with proper occurrences of the
more familiar or striking gestures.
each motion or attitude being accentu-
ated by some note from a musical in
strument.
Every primitive people has it's le
gends and folk lore by which history
and wisdom are handed down by word
of mouth from generation to genera
ton. These legends and stories were
often made easier to remember by be-
ing put in some metrical form, such
that in the natural pronunciation of
the words the accents occur regularly
or in some easily recognized order
This rhythmicaI arrangement of words
gave a sing-song delivery and finally
suggested an air, which was either
sung by the bard with the words, or
formed an accompaniment on an in
strument. Thus from the earliest

about 8 o'clock, Morris announced
his intention Of going out prospect
ing for a short trip, and taking his
nick started of, at the same time
telling Leech that he would be back
soon. He went out, and not re-
turning that night by 8 O'Clock, the
boys got worried, 80 they climbed
the hill and started fires on the
peaks, called as loud as they could
and fired guns. This they con-
tuned to do for some time. Thew
were all camped near Connelly's
placer camp, which is on Four-mile
creek, about seven miles from New
some creek station. All attempts
to find Morris that night proved
fruitless, 80 next day the entire
party started ont TO hunt for him.
but without avail. They hunted
all that day and for two succeeding
days, but could find no trace Of
the lost man. There is very heavy
timber out there and it is bad tray-
cling, there being large quantities
of fallen timber in the section.
The boys do not think that he is
just lost, for Mr.. Williams says
that Morris has prospected for
twenty years and is an old woods
man, SO that the probability that
he is simply wandering around the
hills is not worth considering. Mr..
Williams said: 'In all probability
some accident has befallen him, for
in hunting for him we went farther
than he would be apt to 60 in one
day, even if he had food, which he
did not. We might have traced
him had we had dogs, but there are
none around there suitable for that
purpose"
Mr.. Williams Immediately came
into Grangeville to see if it were
possible to get some blood hounds
to try to track the lost man.
