One of the largest hotels in Central America and by far the largest in Be- iize, Honduras, is surrounded by tomb- stones. As this old and abandoned cemetery WAS located in the center Of the town. and afforded an excellent 1ite for an hotel, the necessary permis- sion was obtained from the proper au= thorities, and in less than a year 8 large and handsome hotel was erected h digging the foundation hundreds of skulls and bones were discovered, all of which were carefully collected and inferred in the new cemetery.

A certain article which both firms made was under discussion.
 What is your price on this thing?" asked the American. Well, in your mon ay, about $19," replied the Eng 4ishman. What does 1t cost you? 2" I'll deliver at your door all you want Rt ST apiece said the American.
 How in the world do you do it?" We'll, I'll illustrate,' answered the American. Look out of that window and across the street. See that man painting a sign?" s'Yes" "He,s or ladder. isn't he?" "Yes." See that other man sitting on the sidewalk holding the foot of the ladder?" "Yes." "

EGG M EMB KANE

 New York Special Chicago Tribune: Medical science has discovered that the hens egg provides an admirable substitute fir human flesh to graft on human open wounds. The substitute Is the delicate membrane that imme- diately lines the Inside of a hens egg.

The surgeons of the Seney Hospital in Brooklyn were the first ia this country to adopt and prac- tice the Germans discovery. Conse- quently Edgar A. Garbut will leave the seney Hospital, Brooklyn, and again take charge of his laundry. Garbut, 36 years old now, fell from his bicycle two years ago and so severely injured himself that as the disease of the bones advanced 1t was necessary to remove the bones of his left arm, his shoulder blade, and the left end, of his collar bone While Garbut rallied, the sur SCOu5 SOOu sdN IHdl tHS "OUIds AOAt by the operations would not heal on the surface Garbut's wife, his nephew and a young man in his employ of- fered of their eutiele to graft on Gar buts wounds.

FOR AMERICAN
CITIZENS.

"a man as a follower of Christ
should put his faith in Christ, and
if he believes that his calling CON-
pels him to go among a strange peo-
pie, with strange customs, let him
then depend upon his faith to pull
him through.
"We never heard of this govern
Dent yet sending missionaries into
foreign countries; and we say that
if they so elect to go and take the
chances of being massacred, it has
nothing to do with this natior. We
have little sympathy for a man, any
way, who goes among savages with
a hymn-book for his protection, runs
his head into a moose and then asks
his government to stay the spring
ing OF the trap"
The above very peculiar argument
appeared recently in our weekly
Prescott contemporary. Its pecu-
Iiarity consists in the fact that the
doctrine applies only to missionaries.
The government OF the United
States do not send merchants to
foreign countries, yet when citizens
of the country go to foreign lands
the protection of the flag is sup
posed to accompany them, no mat
ter what their occupation. 1t IS q
very remarkable argument to ad.
vance that missionaries should be
denied the protection afforded Other
citizens.

An Excellent Report.

The governors report for Arizona
for the year 1899, is a vast improve
ment on any former report, and is as
fine an immigration circular as
could possibly have been gotten up.
We are pleased to observe that news
papers, differing from the governor
in politics, conspicuously the Phenix
Enterprise, have seen their way clear
to pass splendid compliments upon
the report. The extent and COM
pleteness of the work will account
for the fact that it was somewhat
delayed. Every one having friends
in the east should make it point
that they receive a copy of the re-
port, as it will give our friends more
information in an hour than we
could otherwise convey in days. We
are glad that the anti-Murphy
howlers have found something in his
record that they can approve

JOHN LAWLER IN PHENIx.
He Tells of the Flourishing Condition

colt Democrats to See
w. j. Bryan,

John Lawler of Prescott arrived
in the city last night. Mr. Lawler
is Que oil Preseott's most substantial
men and a stalwart democrat. He
Is one of the owner, of the famous
Hillside mine, over which litiga
tIon is now pending in the supreme
court. A decision is expected TO be
handed down at this sitting of the
court. Mr.. Lawler says that that
section of the country has received
its full share of snow and rain this
winter. He says that Prescott is in
fiourishing condition and that the
democrats are all stirred up. He
says that great deal of building is
going on and that some day Prescott
will rival Phenix. Mr.. Lawler was
approached on the subject of estab-
lishing a mineral exhibit at the
capitol building. He replied that
he thought it was a grand idea. He
is of the opinion that every mining
man in the territory would be glad
to send samples of ore for the ex-
hibIt. He also thinks Phenlx should
have mining exchange, as it is
rapidly forging to the front as an ID
dustrial center.-Enterprise.
