While Fighting In the

One bright afternoon lately pretty
little woman OF 30 or thereabouts, with
-ather a wistful expression Of counte-
nance, boarded a Fourteenth street
opcncaravay uptown. She took place
on the last seat Of the cara smokers

ing himself acquainted with the little
woman, that her husband is regular
army officer, who has been In the thick

below the point at which she got ON
the car. says the Washington Post, a
man she knew boarded II, and, recog-

looking cigar before getting on. After
the greetings, he said TO her:
"Nou are ON a smokers seat. Won't
this cigar annoy YOU"

QUARRYING. EMERY.
in the Classic Island Of
NnxOs.

Emery comes from the island of
Naxos, in the eastern Mediterranean,
whence it has been exported for the
last two centuries or more. The beds
are in the northeast Of the island, the
deposits descending into some Of the
neighboring islands, the emery being
found in lenticuar masses, resting on
layers Of schist in limestone, almost
identical with Parian marble, the finest
marble known, which comes from the
island of Paros, close by, says IronmOn-
gerry.
There are about 300 men engaged in
the trade, all of whom have to be mar
red before they are admitted to the fra
tcrnity. The material is much too hard
TO be dug out or even blasted. Great
fires are lighted around the blocks till
the natural cracks expand with the
heat, and levers are then inserted to pry
them apart. This system is continued
until the blocks are reduced in size to
masses Of a cubic foot or less, and they
are then shipped MS If they were coal.'
There are said TO he 10000, 600 tons yet
available al Naxos, and the last report
ed years export was 1880 tons.

DOOM OF THE LOBSTER.
The supply Constantly Shrinking
nnd the Price Rising Cor
respGndinRly.

The extinction Of the lobster is
threatened. lie is IN too much demand
Ms an article OF food. The United
States fish commissioner, in answer TO
an inquiry from Representative Fitz-
gerald, gives statistics which show
the catch Of Holsters in Massachusetts,
waters has decreased 10 per cent. dur
ing the last is years. The yield was
i3l5,ilG pounds, valued at S15s 229 in
1880, which in 1898 fell to l,GO3,7ll
pounds, valued at Sli7,7O2 The yield
has not only decreased but with in
creasing scarcity the price has ad-
yanccd, this in turn causing greater
lctiyity on the part Of fishermen. The
fish commissioner, says the Chicago
Tribune, has been doing it's best to
maintain the supply. During the last
FIVE years 3S70il,7O5 young Holsters
lrtiHcinlly hatchcd have been liberated
IN the Massachusetts, const. Practi-
cally all the eggs from which these
Holsters were hatchcd wou.t have been
destroyed had the commission not pur-
chased the egg-hearinR adults from
fishermen, which is good evidence that
but for the commission the supply Of
Holsters would be practically exhaust
ed to-day. The New England statcs
have laws against the catching Of un-
dersized Holsters, and also Of brood
Holsters carrying eggs, but the laws
do not seem to be well enforced. The
result is that in spite Of the work Of
the commission the lobster supply is
constantly shrinking and the time
may come when the lobster will be ms
much Of u curiosity as is the buffalo
and only multi-millionaires can afford
to eat them.

ONE ofthe inspiring characteristics of the democratic party is tho iacil- ity with which it tries new expe- riments, and discards old and tried principles of the party, hoping to gain success. Democracy was the original single gold standard party of the country, and in the time of "Old Bullion," as the great Mis- souri senator, Thomas A. Benton, was affectiona.ely known, adopted system of coinage which drove silver out of circulation and put the country upon a gold basis. Thanks to democratic legislation the United States was on gold basis long before the coinage act of 1873. That act was adopted to prevent a return to silver basis, which was seen inevitable as a result of the steadily widening proportion in the annual production of gold and silver. In a desperate effort to secure the administration the party abandoned the policy of Benton and adopted tue free silver heresy. In 1872 democracy tried the expe- riment drumming for the presidency life long opponent. Horace Greedy. Today it proposes abandonment of the expansion policy of Thos Jeff. erson. the founder of the party, and adoption instead of the pent up policy of the New England opponents of tue greatest and mosi far reaching measures of the Jeff

EVERY stacker in Arizona who believed that Chrnowelh was cousin to Mrs. Mckinley, who Le- lieved he had been reinstated after removal in July, who believed he WAS "vindicated" by the Smith Power investigation, who believed he resigned, who believed the sec- re,ary of the treasury offered him six thousand dollar a year position i'll Ohio. who believed the pre,i. dent wanted him to accept a post oil the Paris Exposition Commits sion, who believed he had million dollar mine; now believes Cheno. we.h is to be appointed special agent in the treasury depaI tment. Rational people look over the long list of fai y tales with which the Chenoweth's have duped their fool followers, and can see that they are all alike. This last is like all the rest. But the fool followers never recollect through the short time be- tween romances how ridiculous each succeeding story makes them seem, and they swallow the new one as readily as they di,I the first.

REPUBLICAN TERRIroRIAL CON
 yESTION.

' t1On at InOen1x sent 10 fullauei- phia good, strong delegation of representive republicans to re- present Arizona in the national convention Iii June.
 The delegates elected are Charles H. Akers, of Maricopa; Charles R. Drake, Pima; John w. Darlington, Yuma; J. L. Hubbell, Apache; Frank Dysart, Graham; J. A. Vail, Coconinc,
 The alternates are O. D. M. Gaddis, Mohave; w. H. Clark, Navajo; R. A. F. Penrose, Cochise; T. F. Crindell, George Christy, Maricopa; Charles Solomon, Cra- ha Ill.
 The platform endorses ill glowing terms the administration of Pres ident Mckinley, and separate plank explicitly endorses the Me Kinley administrator as represent ed in Arizona. Two other sections advocate respectively opening of the forest reserve for grazing, and statehood, while a third opposes cession of the arid lands.
 All these propositions were of general interest. But that which attracted local interest in Santa Cruz county was the fate of the contesting delegation sent up by "the push" 10 make an effort to break into the convention; to the exclusion of the straight repub- licans who had been sent by he regular organization. With the usual Chenoweth gall Doctor Che noweth was on hand with proxies from an alleged contesting deleg- ation. He swelled around among delegates an entire day and part of another, irducing quite a number to believe his fairy tales about the greatness of ''my brother Harry" and his wonderful pull at Wash ington. The latest Chenoweth romance, about Harry's alleged appointment as special agent fol the treasury department, was par aded, ana the newspaper gillies who are always ready to swallow anything preposterous put forth by Chenoweth, swallowed the bait. But when the credentials of the two delegations got before the con- mitlee on credentials 1t was devel- oped that the doctor based his claim to four votes ill the conven- ton upon letter written by my brother Harry" appointing such delegates.
