A letter dated March l., says it
looks Just like summer in Arizona.
The trees are covered with leaves
and blossoms, and the grass is as
green Is it will ever be The farm
ers are ready to cut their hay and
will start next month to cut their
grain. The mercury to-day regis
tered 102 degrees in the shade, but
one does not notice the heat so much
as in Wilmington. The people say
that 1O2 is nothing, as i'll July and
August the mercury goes as high
as 30 in the shade and 200 in the
sun, but the temperature is not OPP
pressve. as the air is so very dry.
The people wear very light gar
ments, do their cooking early in
the morning and eat cold food, so
they do not use fire to add to the
heat Of the atmosphere during the
day. We have only had fire once
o-day and that was to warm some
canned soup and boil our milk. In
the letter were enclosed specimens
Of cotton, fig and rose leaves. The
writer expects to be in Wilmington
in about two weeks.

ADJUSTMENTS,
GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

The AL Reeves Famous Big
Company comes to the Opera House
tonight and tomorrow afternoon
and night. Mr.. Reeves has gone
the gamut Of the vaudeville world,
and his name to-day is to this
branch OF the amusement profess
sion, like unto that of the one and
only p. r. Barnum to the circus
world, and Reeves success is
founded on quite the same principle
as was that of Barnum, clean, in
noe emit amusement for the multi
tudes. Mr.. Reeves is practically
the first to delve into the field of the
legitimate opera and concert stage
and offers this season Miss lneZ
McCuskcr, a prima donna of fame
whose talent bore her on the top
wave Of success with such musical
and dramatic organizations as
Sousa's Band, Mcssrs. Klaw and
Erlanger's attractions and others
of equal note. Truely appreciate
ing Miss McCusker' S talent and re-
hnement, Manager Reeves has sur
rounded her with company who
are not alone talented vaudeville
performers in their own individual
ability, but those comprising his
company this year are selected
with a view tothe general ensemble
requisite to the usual burletta as
produced by Mr.. Reeves, which
this season has been written on
more definite lines Of meritorious
work.

IS NOT A
NEWAR GIRL.
Body Found in Magothy
River Not That of
Paula Geiss.

Baltimore, Md, March 10
There is no likelihood that the
drowned woman's body found by
fishermen on the Anne Arundel
shore of the Magothy River some
twenty miles southwest of this city
is that of the Newark girl, Paula
GIes. At the request OF The Phila-
delphla Inquirer. and acccompani-
ed by an Inquirer reporter, the
chum of the missing girl. Lena
Gampcrt. journeyed to Baltimore
to identify the iewclry and clothing
of the dead girl. On finding the
nature of these articles and from
the description Of the body found
Miss Gampert is positive that they
did not belong to Miss Gies. Moth
ing, except perhaps the hair on the
drowned girls head, corresponds
to any of her rcco1lections of Paula
Gies.
Lena Gampert not only lived in
the same boarding house as Miss
Gics, that kept by Mrs. Lena
Wiedcr, at 1917 Springfield avenue.
Newark, and worked at the same
restaurant, but was also the con-
tident of the missing girl. Paula,
she said, had golden hair and great
blue eyes. She was richly dressed
and dainty in her tastes. Her lew
elry consisted of an opal ring be-
tween two and five stones. flcur-
dc-lis pin to hold watch. scarf
pin. opal and four diamonds and a
watch. The ring was marked
5732-B s. The watch was gold and
on the back was scratched G 12-27-
49, She usually wore a plush
sacquc.
The body found on the Anne
Arundel shore was clothed in black
striped flannel and checked colorcd
gingham skirts black factory made
sharp toed shoes, a plain flannel
waist, a white cotton undcrbodv
with two large patches, one under
each arm, and fastened with seven
small white pearl and china but
tons, all of different make. There
was no undertaking The skirts
were very short, not coming to the
ankles. Around the waist was a
plain black leather belt and on the
feet black stockings. The carriers
were elastic with plain brass
catch and blue stone. One OF the
carriers was broken and held
around the stocking with pin.
Not only, however, is it the cloth.
ing which Miss Gampert SAYS her
chum would not wear, that destroy
any likelihood of the dead girl be-
ing Miss Gies. On the body found
there was a small scarf PIN, brass
and containing IS glass sets. On
her little finger was small gold |
band. containing one garnet. On
the third finger was another plain |
gold band, containing two garnets
and a broken setting. A bracelet /
gold plated. and containing two |
links, was on her arm. The Jew
elry makes her positive that the
identity is not the same.

Democrats Are Fighting.

The publication OF q story that Il. Y
Mitchell, member of the Democratic
National Committee, had been In search
OF funds and was refused aid by most of
tho Democrats, set the two fractions of
tho party fighting yesterday. The free
silver democrats were angry because they
be lioved aid had been refused while the
gold Democrats were equally angry be-
cause they had boon charged as they sa "
it,With being almost dlsloyal to the party.
The gold Democrats at once slarteu In
to mako explanations and the more they
explained the worse tho whole thug got.
1t came out that Mitchell was armed
with letters both from william j. Bryan
and Chairman Jones, of the National
Committee. asking for assistance. The
EXPLANATION given by the gold Democrats

Committee. win soon expire and they
