Brother Joseph Rudynrd KipIing.

Mr.. KiplinG having recently Joined
n Masonic lodge in Edinburgh under
the name and title of Brother Joseph
Rudyard Kipling," his new honors are
thus celebrated by the London Acade-
my's special poet:
Glanced TO be at rockingham upon little trip;
l met fellow Mason there and gave the man the
grip.
What ho!' I said, my Rudyard." But his look
was cold snow.
NY name, you ought to understand" he said,
lis Brother joe
Oh, it's Rudyard this. and Kipling that, with
poems, tales and such,
And Rudyard Kipling is q name that can't be
known too muchi
Oh. it's Rudyard this. and Kipling that, with any
writing dodge.
But it's Brother Joseph Kipling when he joins a
blooming lodge,
went into library to get book 70 read;
The behind the counter asked, what Is IL,
sir. you needS'
u want I said, 'the latest thing that Joseph
Kipling's done"
Go on he said; you're having me. Joe Kipy
There isn't one!''
Oh. its Brother Joe, and Joseph, when insignias
out,
And knives and forks are busy, and the bottle
goes abcut.
It's Brother Joe from India where'er the Ma
throng,
But it's RudysId Kipling only when he writes q
blooming song.

The General Dying "A Captive to the
Roars

\ strange coincidence attaches to the
death of General Sir William Symons.
He fell but 80 miles from the place
where, on the fatal day of Isandula,
his old regiment, the Twenty fourth,
was cut up. 1t is sad to reflect that
both in the last battle of the first and
in the first battle of the second Boer
war the English lost their commander.

 The householder is not aware that the census taking was going to begin soon, but here is the census taker.

BROKE INTO COURT
The Disastrous Course BeiEa Pur-
 sued by Two Phoenix Men.

1 There is q strained relation and a threatened outbreak in Montgomery s addition which just now is without any ether parallel ill the world, save the situation in the Philippines. Walter Adams is the proprietor of a lot of turkeys ever which he has not been exercising a great deal of restraint J. B. Howe, a contractor, lives at the other side of the block occupied by Mir. Adams and turkeys. The turkeys kept calling upon MT Howe in spite of his inhOSpita ble remOnStrances. so that a lew days ago he shot one of them and ate it.
 MT. Adams didn't know whether to have him arrested for lar ceny or malicious mischief He went to see Justice .Tohnstone and was ad- vlsed by him to settle the matter amic- ably out of cCurt and save expenses MT. Adams went away well pleased with the advice, but subsequent events show that he mistook the meaning of the word, "amicably" He went straight to the residence of MT. Howe He demanded either pay for the tur- key or that MT. Howe arm himself come out in the road and fight a duel
 As soon as the beleaguered MT.
  Howe could break through the enemy's lines he hurried to Justice Johnstone and demanded the arrest of MT. Adams Or charge of purpose to Lommi, murder. The justice persuaded him not to prosecute the charge. since Ad- ans had been persuaded not to prose cute the case against him. He went home determined to keep out of court
 Yesterday morning Adams returneJ and reported that he had been unable to arrive af pacific understanding with Howe by means of a shotgun O. by any other method He demanded warrant for the arrest of that o0stj- rate and unreasonable person. It was issued. Not long after Howe came in to insist on the arrest of Adams for his hostile demonstration of the night be- lore and warrant was issued for him.

TRICKS IN ALL TRADES.
Dwight L. Moody Confesses Himself
 Modern Jonah.

The Rev. MT. Moody, the evangelist, is holding a series of meetings in Los Angeles, and according to the reports in the newspapers, he tells the people there nearly every day how good they are, and how they stand out in daz- zling contrast to the desperate sinners he encountered in New Mexico and Colorado. Tn a paragraph referring to this matter, the Los Angeles Herald says:
 Tt will probably surprise Californ- ians to learn of the lamentable wicked ness that Evangelist Moody discovered among our neighbors in Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. MT. Moody says reverently, that he prayed to the Lord for a hard field and he gave it to me. He sent me to Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. He Omits to tell what proportion of gospel seed fell upon stony ground, or what proportion was choked by tares when it emerged from the earth, or how much thrived and yielded well"
 Now, if the Lord actually sent him to Colorado. New Mexico and Arizona and we have no doubt he did Brother Moody is playing Jonah by running away to California and though there are probably no whales in Los Angeles. there are land sharks in that vicinity which would have no difficulty in Swal- lowing him, and if one of these should take him in he would not get out in three days.
 Mir. Moody may have labored for some time in Colorado and Arizona, and they do say there are some very hardened sinners in those sections, but we cannot understand why he should include New Mexico. for he was not here long enough to learn much about the people. Nearly all the time he spent in this territory was at two meetings he held in Albuquerque, and on those occasions he gave our folks just as much taffy as he is now serv- ing tip to the Los Angeles people. He made us think we were so much better than the sinners all around us that some of us. who don't like to be too superior, felt that we ought to back slide just a little to keep from being so conspicuous. But after reading these reports from California, we see it isn't necessary. There are tricks in all trades and Brother Moody seems to be ''on to 'em" in his.-Albuquerque Journal Democrat.

 TOTS of Southern Prosperity.

The cotton industry in the south is prosperity of that section than most people imagine it to be. From the time the cotton seed is sowl until the textile is picked and baled the exist ence of the planter and his hands is cne of hustle and confusion. The really feverish season sets in when the ship ping begins. R. s. Stearns of the Fashion barber shop, former resi- dent Of Oxford, Miss, a station in one Of the numerous cotton growing belts, gave an interesting talk last night re- garding the shipping season and the privations which attend it.
 He said that the planters all want to reach the mar ket at once, and the railroads cease doing business one way. All other traffic is suspende1 during the ship ping season and ma:ls cease to al rive. The whole length of the Illinois Cen tral is filled with a procession of cot ton trains. Of course the emptieS have to come back, and they come back empty for two reasons. One is that they can come faster that way and the ether is that they haven't time to pick up southbound miscellaneous freight and mail which accumulates along the line for weeks.
 Through trains from the north are barred during the ship ping season, for there is not room on the tracks for them. Everybody dur ing this season is absorbed in cotton. This is why MT. Stearns thinks that one kind oS product, that shipped out ii the height Of the season, is called absorbent cotton One of the draw backs of this extraordinary annual in dustrial activity is that the residents Of the cotton belt are compelled to live on edibIes indigenous to the soil. Meats and other luXuries cannot be shipped in. Consequently all the do- mestic animals are slaughtered, after which the woods are ransacked for squirrel
 When cotton shipments begin to slacken a little, large consignments of bacon from Chicago and of hominy from the great corn districts begin to come in and the starvation threatened

 Little Della was also successful in the fourth heat and the time, 1:07, was considerably below that of any preced- ing heat of that race. The heat de- cided the race and concluded the pro gramme; but an eXtempOraneouS run ming match was started before the crowd had left the grounds.

FAST TRAVELLING
Lifflc Della Won in Very Spirited
 Trolling Contest.

The best races of the season were witnessed at the old racing course yes terday afternoon, by a large number of people, the most of whom were in carriages. It was a splendid day and the horses were in good condition The track was somewhat dusty, despite which, good records were made. There were no pools nor booths, but side bet ting especially on the first event was heavy
 This was match race including 8 $400 purse, between W. N Tiffany'S s Juno J. and Henry Georges Little Della for distance of a half mile. The first heat was won by Little Della, the other horse breaking badly throughout the distance. The time was 1:18 flat
 The first heat of the second race, a pacing match, next took place between Wm. McCook's Surprise and Wm. Goodins Black Paddy The distance was also one half mile and it was for the best two in three. The start was even but Black Paddy could not hold his feet and he lost the race which was won in 1;06A.
 In the second heat of the first race, without much scoring, a very even start was made and the prettiest and hardest fought race of the day began. Little Della had won the polo but the opposing horse, held it's ground circi- ing around the lilly on the first curve and gaining a slight advantage. From there the horses settled down to lively pace each in it's turn leading by a nose but neither could claim lead as they passed under the wire. No breaking occurred and the horses were held on their feet without much diff culty. The judges proclaimed i a dead heat and no time was announced.
 Surprise was again the winner in the second heat of the pacing race, the heat being in it's appearance a repltl- tion of the first one At the finish Sur prise lead for over two lengths, Win ming the heat and race. The time was 1:091A.
 The third heat of the remaining match which was for the best three in five in five was announced, and Juno Js packers took courage from the noble appearance made by the animal as she stepped out on tho track. Her trouble had been in breaking and It was hoped that after the mare had eX- perienced a touch of high racing she would settle down to steady gate. But hopes were shattered before the heat was half coursed and it was fear ed that the animal would be dis tanced. However. at the three-eighth pole Juno collected for strong finish and a distance of twenty feet more might have changed the result. Little Della captured the heat by 4 half length ssand ethe tim4 syas F 70 %Some difficulty arose as to a certain proce- dure in tho finish and a complaint was entered on behalf of Juno J, claiming that the progress of the horse nad

PRAISE FOR SKATER
Conducted on Admirable
 Campaign.
So Says pr. George A. GoodfeIIow Who Was on the Generals Staff The Beef Furnished inc Army Was Good.

Dr. George A. GoodfelIow of Tucson, who was on General Shafter's staff during the Santiago campaign and who acted as interpreter for General Shafter ip all the negotiations for the surren- der of the Spanish army under Toral, is in the city. Seen yesterday, Dr. Goodfellow was asked what of the credit for the Santiago campaign was due to General Miles.
 Not one iota of it, promptly re- piled the doctor with some degree of warmth. General Miles arrived at Santiago after the battle of Las Guasimas June "A, but in no way did he supersede Shafter or have any part in the directing of the campaign, nor did Miles have any part in the negotia- tions for the surrender of Santiago. nor was he consulted about it in any way. 1 know fully what I am talking about, as 1 acted as interpreter and was the mOuthpiece for General Shaf- ter in all his negotiations with General Toral
 When Shafter sent a note to Gen eral Toral on July demanding the immediate and unconditional sur render of the city I wrote the Spanish note for him and know just what he was doing. So later on the 9th when Shafter notified Toral that if he did not surrender the next day he would open fire on Santiago, was sent into the city by General Shafter as the bearer Of his message. Miles had no more to do with the Santiago campaign or with the surrender of the Spanish army than any citizen of Phoenix ''It has been charged, doctor, that Shafter showed incompetence before

senatorial fight is still unsettled. The
Republican caucus met during the even.

adjourned. The result was the same as
that shown by the last roll call on the

not able to break into the johnson

gather any strength from the field.
It was rumored early in the day that
Mckenzie was determined to hold the
caucus in session until there was some
definite showing Of strength, but this
plan, ii it was even seriously contem-

any attempt to put it into execution.
