Few OF the countless readers Of Charles
Dickens think of him as an educator, yet
writer in the February Century will
prove him to have been the first English
Kindergarten of note-a disciple of Froe-
bel, who had also caught the spirit of the
Americans Henry Barnard and Horace
Mann.
The Tribune almanac was first pub
lshed in 1888 under another name. 1t has
appeared every year except one, since that
date, continuously confirming and en-
HANGING its original claim to the conf
dence Of the country In recent years its
size has been extended to meet the
quirements Of growing population, with
a greater complexity of interests, and it
now contains a much more varied assort-
ment Of topics. The 1899 number con-
tains the constitution of the United
States; a complete history Of the war
with Spain, including the treaty of the
joint commission in Paris; the monetarW
systems of the world; full returns of he
elections in the several states and terri
tories; history OF the annexation of
ii, wa and many miscellaneous topics.
Send % cents to the New York Tribune
for a Tribune almanac for 1899.
The Americanism of The Tribune was
Gle rly demonstrated in the support which
IL gave the national administration dur
ing The war with Spain and the annexa-
ton OF Hawaii. Its broad views and its
la Dor for he advancement of every Amer
lean interest are among the marked char
acterlstics of that newspaper, and have
won for it the respect of men of all par
said hat no man is less useful or intiu-
iai in his town or county because he
reads that paper. On the other hand, he
is likely to be patriotic and well-in-
formed man. One of the most note
worthy features OF The Tribune is tie
space devoted to women, and to receipts,
fashions, women's ways and the senti
ments which should rule the home. The
Weekly Tribune remains, as for two gem
erations past, one OF the best genera!
newspapers Of it's class in the United
States. The Improvements made during
the past year in The Semi Weekly Tri-
bune, however, are remarkable. its illus
trated supplement, which is sent with
e'c" Fridays issue, has proved especially
attractive. We call the readers :.

Compared with this problem that OF the
befouled pup is simple.
What the little canine cannot under
stand he barks at. He wastes his breath
upon the great moon so long that morning
drives her away. Lo, the barking did it.
Not little bit, my saucy puppy. Your
voice sounds in your own ear very males
tic, but the moon never heard you. She
gave way to the mighty day Of perfect
light and not to a narrow minded cur.
How like some two legged puppiesl
Great facts that were facts before our
gam bols began and will be facts after our
last whine is uttered come looming up
before us and are too great for us to fully
understand But nothing being too vast
for argument, at a certain stage of puppy
development We straightway bay and
mouth against the fact Grandiy do we
utter ourselves. The partial light of one
truth may melt into another more perfect
but it is not our noise that does it. A fact
Is and no barking will ever prevail against
it. Words from milk teeth mouths will
not undo the faith of ages. Nor is it
likely that the power of faith in the I'M
seen and eternal is, after vanquishing
dynasties and uprooting kingdoms, itself
to be vanquished by the cl.moring of
those who being unable to understand,
bark; and who being unable to think
deeply, merely clamor.
1t is not fair to speak only of the bad
qualities OF dogs and men. There are
good ones worth chronicling, always have
been and always will be. But as with the
bone, SO for another day another story.

InseCticide For Plants.

Cosmos, a French scientific review,
says that South American farmer has
recently made an accidental discovery
of great value to gardeners and florists.
1t was to the effect that leaves of the
tomato plant will drive insects away
from other plants. He covered the to-
mato leaves over some young shrubs he
wished to protect from the sun and from
small insects and was delighted to find
that the latter cleared out as soon as
they got the odor Of the tomato leaves.
He then extended the same treatment
to an entire row Of young peach trees,
and his success was complete. To rem
der the process moro simple he tried a
decoction Of the fresh tomato leaves as
spray on other trees and shrubs and
found that he had perfectly effective
weapon which cost practically nothing.
He also found that spray of the same
kind would keep flies off his horses,

"Father," said the little boy, looking
up from his picture book, ''if ask you a
question will you answer it?' Ger
tainly," was the affabe reply. "And not
get angry?" "Of course not" Nor say
it's time was in bed?" 81 won't do any
OF those things" "Well, what | want to
know is, where does snake begin when
it wags its tail?'
A farmer who should sit still and hope
for rich harvest when he had neither
prepared the ground nor sown the seed
would justly excite our ridicule; yet we
do exactly the same thing when we hope
that the months of years may yield to us
fruits which we have never planted, and
benefits which we have never earned.

Is Sunken Ship q Total Loss?

Can a vessel which sinks to the bot
tom of the sea in storm be properly
described as a total loss? This was the
question which the law lords have Just
had to decide in an action brought by
the owners of vessel against an under
writer. The underwater had refused to
pay the owners the amount due on the
insurance policy for a total loss, on the
ground that mechanical science made it
possible to raise the ship. To prove that
his contention was sound, the under
writer had, at a cost Of e8, 900, brought
the vessel to the surface again. But the
contention did not find favor with this
lord chancellor and his colleagues, who
decided that the ship was total and
i,-.:! less 7. .FeGla thus appear
that the law is not always abreast with

Types of Husbands to Avoid.

There are two distinct types of usband
willing to admit-the man who permits
himself to become generous figurehead
in his own family, rarely holding con
versation with his wife or children, good
natarediy responding to any eXtrava-
gsnce for the sake of peace; and the man
who, though conspicuous in the church
and community, tyrannizes over his
family i'll small things until, for the sake
of peace, they deceive him on every hand.

You will fnd it less easy to uproot
faults than to choke them by gaining
virtues. Do not think of your faults, still
less Of others faults; in every person who
comes near you look for what is good and
strong; honor that; rejoice in it, and, as
you can, try to initiate it; and your faults
will drop off, like dead leaves, when their
time comes.

Deafness Cannon be Cnred

by local applications as they connat reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is causel by ah inhamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Fustachidn Tube. When this tube is infamed you have q rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal con- dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inAamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send fer cir culars free.

TEE California legislature, dom mated by clicks and combinations, adjourned and left that great state with but one senator. That IS a burning shame, too. The people sent the legislators to Sacramento to elect 8 republican senator to sue ceed Senator White, and instead of obeying their constituency with patriotic faithfulness they haggled among themselves. Personal spite and spleen were the ruling passions. It is unjust to accuse Bulla, Burns or Grant with the non election of a senator, Every American citizen has the right to aspire to such high offices and they merely exercised that God-given, free American birth-right. The fault lies with those who had the power to choose but who each chased a partisan ignis fatuus into the Serbonian bogs of senaterless wilderness The condition is deplorable now iRasmuch as the entire west needs every statesman It can muster to the fore. With such momentous questions, and which are of such vital interest to the west, as the construction of the Nicaragua canal and the solution of the Philippine problem, VIC can ill spare even one senator.

THAT POLL TAX LAW.

THE six months residence bill is now a law as the governor has appended his si mature. This will quite ma scrially increase the voting strength of the territory, especially in the cities and in the mining or railroad camps, pro- vided, of course, if the necessary poll tax of $2 50 is paid Gin advance "- Jouraa!-Miner.
 The six months residence bill is dIsagreeable in many respects. In the first place it has tendency tc reduce the voting strength rather than to increase it. Many poor man will forego the pleasure of vot- ing rather than pay $250 for the privilege That will be the easiest method of lodging the poll tax. 1t will also give the corruptionists a better opportunity of buying votes by paying the citizens tax and hold, ing his receipt. We had a alawslmilar in nature some dozen years ago which would not let a man vote until he produced a poll tax receipt. The consequence was that designing men could and would collect the receipts and say to such and such voter, "Here, I hold your poll tax recept and will give it tnyou if you vote so and so." A poor man may be even so much a patriot, but when it comes to paying $2.50 to register he will very likely let the other fellow do the voting. A bill was introduced in the late California legislature which we think is more commendable and would better serve the interests of good govern
 ment. We are not informed as tc
 what action was taken upon it, bu the bill in question provided tha
 all registered voters should be ex-
 emptsd from paying poll tax. Un'
 der our six months residence bill
 man just passing through the terri
 tory is entitled to vote, providing 1 he pungles the wherewithal. W
 predict very unsatisfactory result
 from the same, but it is law no, l and there is no use doing the Mob
 act over split milk. We can onl. experiment with the measure ap' hope it will not prove so bad a anticipated.

Smith or Stone?
to society

Constable George Brown has re- ceived information from Belmont, Ariz.. regarding man whom he has under arrest here on suspicion of being wanted for forgery. The prisoner claims his name is Frank Smith, but the officers are confident he is Lewis Stone. While working in a restaurant at Belmont Stone is alleged to have forged a check and also tc have secured 8 quantity of groceries from Babbitt Brothers by false pretenses, and to have ship ped the goods out of the territory
 Stone or Smith made an unsuc- cessful attempt to escape easily yes terday. He had been entered on the blotter as Frank Smith, but managed to be taken into the court as James Smith, another man ar rested for a petty offense. When this mans turn came te be arraign- ed Stone arose, but Deputy Ccnsta ble Lemon blocked his game by ex- plaining that he was not the right man, and he was taken back to his cell. The charge against Stone now is vagrancy and hls trial is set for Tuesday By that time it is expected that sufficient evidence will have accumulated to connect him with the Arizona crime.-L. 4.

The technicallty rests upon the fact that the board oflcontrol had order. ed the company to file bond, which was done and placed on the records sf the board, but by an oversight the records at Washington failed to show that 1t had been filed, and the Supreme court reversed the deci- sion of tho territorial court.

4 MORNING. TRAGEDY.
Treasurer DeVaRe ana Je.tn MeVelgk Principals in Fatal SnoO1ng
 Array.

The inhabitants of Yuma were thrown into state of exciteme ent this morning by the ncwF that County Treasurer DeVane had kill ed a man in the cut uear the South ern Pacific hotel
 Inquiry revealed the fact that the dead man was character by the name of John McVcigh, known as Mike" It seems that McVeigh had attempted to outrage the little daughter of Mir. DeVane, and un- able to que.l his fatheriy indigna- ton had s1ot the miserable wretch dead.
 Three shots took effect, one of which caused almost instant death, being ia the region of the heart The second shot took effect in the abdomen and the third shot glanced of the lower portion of the ribs and broke tho right arm. Four or five shots were fired.
 McVeigh has been around Yuma for three or four years and has lived st what is known as the quarter masters building where he made 8 pretense at raising chickens. He bore an unsavory reputation and is believed to have carried on sys- tematic system of thievery. Articles of every description were found about his place which are believed to have been stolen at different times. The government had some trouble with him some time ago and were preparing to forcibly eject him. Not much is known of the individual, It was ascertained that he was 51 years of age and a native of Ireland.
 After the shooting Mir. DeVane , handed his pistol to John Gandolfo, 3 who happened to bs near the scene of the shooting, and later surrenG- cred to the sheriff, but was not talk g en to jail and is yet at liberty. Mir. DeVsne was elected treasurer l of Yuma county last November by s an overwhelming majority, and is
 one of the most popular men in the county. He is of qWet and unof- ' fensive disposition and number: u his friends by the score, who say i that he is the last man in the world to seek such an issue unless justified by some horrible circum-
 stance. It Is generally believed that the coroner's jury, which il
 now in session, will hold that the
 killing of McVeigh was justitiable
 After the tragedy this morning Judge Thurlow summoned 9 jury
 consisting of the following gentle
 men: Geo. Miles, John Balz, D
 B. Paxton, Richard Wilson, Mar
 tin Pool, V. Westtall, Peter Hodge : o. II. Willis and Mulford Winsor
 which jury is now in session.
 Senator Ives and Pierce Evans
 have been retained by the defend ant.
 We believe that MT. DeVane wa!
 entirely justified, but such wretcheI as McVeigh should be convined ir
 asylums when they become menac,

THE two leaders of the disunited democracy, Mr. Belmont and Col Bryan, have been fighting battle royal-through tho papers-for the past week. MT. Belmont invited Col. Bryan to banquet in honor of Thomas Jeff-rson. Col. Bryan thought that the memory of Jeffer- son would not be honored by the presence of Belmont, and retort called fer reply, ct cetera, ad nau- seam. President Mckinley has not as yet recognized the bslligsr- ercy of either warning element. Such amusing, if not ridiculous rhodomontadss are enough to cause the great Jefferson to chuckle in his last, long sleep. Anyhow, Col Bryan will never be president.
