fine flavor of the Delaware peach. l Speaking of MT. Weider's peaches Pro- | lessor McClatchie says that they are as MT. Weider says, earlier than any
 of the same variety anywhere else in | the valley on account of the peculiarly favorable location already described. PAINTED FOR WAR.-There is a young house and sign painter in this town who has not been on the streets
 very much for two days. He is con-
 fined to his room but he isn't sick. On
 Monday night he was out with couple
 of friends, or they said they were his
 friends, and to prove it they asked him
 to drink with them and accepted num-
 erous invitations tc drink with him.
 Some time in the evening the young
 man fell asleep for a short time. He
 awoke about midnight and finding
 himself alone went out on the street.
 Officer Hale saw him and said: See
 here. I cant have you here. Some ,bcdy'n come along and get scared and
 I'll be blamed for it. The young man
 went to his room without finding out
 why his presence on the street was ob-
 jectiCnable, went to bed and to sleep
 When he got up the next morning and
 went before the mirror to put on his
 collar he was astoundedL No savage Indian was ever so picturesquely
 painted as he was. The colors were fast but he thinks that in time they
 will wear off
 WENT, SAW AND CONQUERED.- The members of the Phoenix base ball team returned over the northern route last night from the California tour. The record of the games played, show Phoenix to have won five out of seven games. The two games lost were at San Diego. The California teams made one mistake which great ly 1essened their chances They in variably engaged strong batteries and did not take the pecaution to strength en their field, nor to present a heavy string of batters. The Phoenix az was composed of sure men at the stick and the team was uniformly. Burt Wool ley, who for three winters has been engaged at the Hotel Adams, pitched for Redondas in the game there. At Los Angeles a surprise was in store for the natives. The Angelenos have always priNed themselves on their base base ball playing, and no doubt they had right to be, but they had not calculated upon encountering an irresistible team from remote Phoenix | The encouraging success of the Phoe- i nix team abroad and the prestige which it has given to this section in base ball circles may be traced to the i consistent and uniform practice of the ! local nine.
