The Church Social.

The Presbyterian parsonage held a jolly crowd Thursday evening, the occasion being a social given by the Young Peoples Gociety of Christian Endeavor. The ladies having the affair in charge spared no pains in making it thoroughly enjoyable. The music and refreshments were unusu- ally good. In the conundrum contest Mrs. H. V. Day, of St. Louis, secured the lady's prize, a beautiful bracelet, and Mir. John Nets the gentleman's prize, a necklace made of the same material-peanuts. In the cake walk, Miss Beulah Herr was voted the cake as the lady's prize. and the editor of the TRIBUNE "took the cake" for his grace and agility, as was foregone conclusion. Prof. Nets, District Attor- ney Stone and Prof. O'Connor of Kenilworth were simply outclassed- that was all.

"You think, then, that when man is spiritually illumined by this new light he feels as if he were in touch with and part of the invisible Engineers sort of telephone or photograph, :" asked Mir. Devine.
 "Yes, mau being only small atom in the universe makes no difference; it is mans spiritual size and mans spiritual strength that counts. This new light practically annihilates time and distance. It is just as easy to communicate thousand million miles over the magnetic disc of the universe as over one mile of it."
 At this point recess was taken in order that the author might find an opportunity to read his beautiful Ari- zona poem on spring. And now for the poem:
 SPRING.
 PARTI, Hal ha 'tis spring 'tis spring. Oh, what F Lretty thing is an Arizona spring, Just hear the mocking bird and Tom
 Peyton sing. Pretty thingl See the little butterflies make butter, Bright lovely golden butter as they hutter, See dear little Ex-Governor Hughes of tho
 Tucson Star Roll up his eyes and prepare for war, As he scents spring DO ems from afar. See the Arizona Legislature and Honorable
 Sid Bartieson now Before all those great men of the earth
 making his best bow. See Editor Randolph and little Billie Spears Editing a big paper without paste pot or
 shears. Oh. yes. 1t Is spring. dear sweet beautiful
 Pinal county spring. My enraptured soul takes wing And the poetry of the universe sing. See Editor Reppy arrange his new little
 Bogardus kicker For patent medicine men and spring poets
 when they come thicker. Dear. good and handsome John Phy and
 sweet Senor Morales If spring poems come much thicker will
 both leave for Eogales.
 This ends part l. Part 2 and the other parts, ten in all, will be written by the editors and their correspondents throughout Arizona as spring opens in the various localities.
 There was great applause as the author quit reading the poem, and the Scientific Society adjourned after vot- ing to hold their next meeting at Dan Stevens corral.

Still More counteneItlno

The Secret Serviees has nnearthed another band of connterfeiters and se- cured large quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly executed that the average person would never sus- pect them of being spurious. Things of great value are always selected by eounterfeiters for limitations, notably the celebrated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which has many imitators but no equals for indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness and general debility. The Bitters sets things right in the stomach, and when the stomach is in good order it makes good blood and plenty of it. In this manner the Bitters get at the seat of strengh and vitality, and restore vigor to the weak and debilitated. Beware of counter feiters when buying.

From the Chicago Chronicle.l

From the Chicago Chronicle.l
 Wearied and harrassed by the im- portunities of the Westchester tax collector, Mir. John D. Rockefeller has finally given up the fight against the anarchistic. odious and uncon- stitutioual demand that he should pay his taxes. He has surrendered, but not at discretion. He has com promised with the revolutionists, agreeing to pay taxes on $l20 ,000, instead of on t230,0O0. The forces of disorder have scored only par tial triumph, but it is triumph nevertheless-one which may arouse the feelings of the deepest disquiet and apprehension among the up holders of vested interests. For, if Mir. Rockefeller can be worr jed into paying taxes, what is to prevent a concerted campaign against our very best people, the result Of which will be that the tax gatherer will invade the homes of the aris- tocracy and camp there until his bill is paid? The gloom of the out look is increased by the news which comes from Minnesota that the SUI preme court of that state has direct ed Mir. Russell Sage to pay certain taxes or lose his real estate. There may be deeps beyond this, but we doubt it.

 Bunch stands at the head of the legislature in the introduction of bills. Up to date he has presented nineteen. Scott, of Maricopa, is 8 close second with sixteen to his credit. Gonzales, of Apache county, is down for one, but that one is as long as the combined epistles of the prophets. Arthur has not intro duced any bill, neither has he claimed the attention of the speaker once, and the clerk has had great difi- eulty in catching his vote on roll call, although he sits in the first row.--[ Phoenix Gazette.

The Florence TRIBUNE publishes only one spring poem every year out of the many hundred which come to ms from our numerous correspondents throughout the United States. This year Joe Mulhatton sends us an article under the guise of what he calls a spring poem which is so full of merit that we feel assured it will be well re- ceived in literary and scientific circles, even if the truthfulness of the author is sometimes held in question.

WORLDS DIRTIEST PEOPLE.
Residents of the Caucasus Who Rest
Four Days Week and Never Wash.

According to lie Petit Journal of
Paris, the dirtiest people in the world,
3irt;er even than Lieut. Peary found
the Eskimo, have recently been dis
covered by a Russian traveller and ex-
plorer, NJ. zienoviff, in the Caucasus.
They dwell in an almost inaccessible
mountain range in a strip OF territory
between the Black sea and the Caspian
sea- and for the last $500 years, ac-
cording to the scientist, they have re-
NAMED in the same primeval condi-
tion. They are called Svanctias, and
their village, although consisting OF
miserable stone novels. without any
attempt at form or adornment, even
such as nature might suggest to them,
Is not without certain picturesque
less when seen from a distance. With
II, however the huts are desperately
filthy, being filled with rags, skins,
vermin and dirt of every description.
Like the Eskimo and certain Austria
liam tribes and the Pueblos they have
no fireplaces, their cooking being done
by fire kindled in a hole scooped out
in the middle of the floor. In these
houses, many of which measure only
10x14 feet, men and women and chill
dren are huddled together. as many
as eight or twelve persons often occu-
plying a single hut, and in the winter
their cattle and mountain sheep share
their quarters. Every aperture Is clos
ed on account of the cold. Horrible
diseases arise from this long imprison-
ment, aggravated by an abnormal con-
sumption of arrak, distilled drink of
the Asiatics. Strange as it may SEEM
they have adopted the holidays decreed
by almost every religious sect, Thus
four days in a week no work is done
The only industries of the people are
farming, bee culture and cattle breed
ing; and throughout their territory
there is not single manufactured ar

Passing through a vacant lot the
other day where some boys were hav-
ing a game of ball, heard one of them
who had got rap on the knuckles
from a foul" exclaim, Jimmy, that
hurts!" and then, after rubbing his
fingers a moment, he went back to his
place on the field, little dreaming that
he had just uttered solemn invocation
to the old Roman demigods Castor and
Pollux. For our vulgar "jiminy" is
but a corruption Of the Latin "gemini,"
twins, a name applied to Castor and
Pollux, the twin sons Of Jupiter and
Leoa tn CSC hero gods were the pa
irons Of games and festivals of all
kinds and the especial friends of tray
elers; hence, when an old Roman ex-
claimed, 20 Gemini!" 1t was a devout
appeal to the gods for help or protec-
ton, very much the same as when a
knight Of old called on his patron saint.
