NINYOr LIcCEp,r.

As appears from letter printed on another page this morning MT. Ewen Mcintyre does not feel that he ought to accept the nomination for Registrar of Vital Statistics. He will stick to busi- ness, and not venture on the uncertain sea of politics at this time. Although his many friends were glad that they were to have an opportunity to work and vote for him. they will recognize the wisdom of his decision and hope that his superior business ability. has found a suitable and adequate field for its exercise.
 The new nominee, MT F. c. Hill, is in every way we'll fitted to perform the duties of the office and is entitled to and will have the hearty and zealous sup port of lis party.

the Apaches had passed from view, and we resumed our journey, we saw on the plain, beyond the canyon, the place where the wagon had left the trail, turning off to the north. The wagon and the dead man were fully ten miles from the trail, too sar for us to get out of way to identify them. At Tucson we made full report of the matter to the sheriff and he sent a deputy and posse out to hold an in quest and bury the dead robber. The mans body was torn by buzzards, and had been mutliated by the In- dians but it was identified by two in the sheriff's party as being that of Nevada Mike. He was a hard char acter, who had been run out of the Cuchach Negra mine camp a few days before, and had resorted to murder in the way I have told, as the means to raise stake. His punishment had been swift and terrible, for the Indians undoubtedly had tortured him before his death. His victim was an noffen- sive ranchman named Murdock-I talked with his two brothers at Tucson afterward-and a headstone, and white paing inclosing the grave which they put up for years marked his last resting place, and were a land mark of travel in the Rock Canyon trail"

A department store on the co-opera- tive plan, and conducted largely on
 building association methods, has just been established in Indianapolis. Its protector has been connected for years with building associations, and his idea
 is to provide opportunity for more
 profitable investment of small savings
 than can be had in a building and loan
 association. He had a paying store,
 and he has capitalized the business at
 $15O,000, divided into 5000 shares of $50
 each Of these, 1,80O shares are taken
 by the employer and employees, the rest
 being reserved for customers Stock is
 to be sold on the instalment as well as
 the paid-up plan. The small payments
 are twenty-five cents a week. All
 stockholders are entitled to rebate of 2 per cent. month on purchases, which may be applied to the payment for stock or on dividends It is calculated that
 this rebate will amount to twenty-five cents a week to the majority of GUS
 toners. There are no fines, the only penalty suffered by a stockholder de- linquent in his payments being his ex- clusion from participation in the divi- dends. He may withdraw all his money at any time. on due notice, with accrued rebates and dividends without cost of any kind. He may also borrow 80 per cent. of the amount he has paid in-on which, however, interest will be The dividend proposed is 8 per cent. year If there shall be surplus after this is paid it is to be ap- piled to an extension of the business as long as this is necessary and profitable. The building-as iociation plan of keep | ing accounts will be followed.
 Probably this experiment will not dis -urb business much, but it will be inter !, esting to watch it.

THE NETY RICH ES.

1 Many men in this quiet and non-spec-
 ulative community lately became sud
 denly and violently rich. They went to bed poor and struggling, burdened with worry about getting enough money to
 pay their taxes, and To and behold in
 the morning they found their property
 had increased in value over night so immensely that it seemed as if Aladdin
 with his wonderful lamp had been at
 work. But a closer look at the new and
 astounding prosperity revealed that it
 had been brought about by the asses
 sors with their wonderful 'lamps," and
 wonderful figuring. And still another
 look at the new riches showed that
 they were not very substantial It has
 been found that much of the property can't be worked off at anywhere near the fine figures put upon it, and its owners are coming to the conclusion that riches have wings.
 The new assessment Is in many cases so negotiable and curious that it is bound to be attacked before hepBoard of Relief, in the courts, and perhaps in the legislature Much of it will not stand, and bow sensible and careful men, such as assessors are supposed to be, could make it doth not appear. Probably it wasn't the object of the as- sessors to make such a stir that there would be a tax commission, or some thing of that kind, set at work here, but they may turn out to have been the humble. or proud instruments in the production of such an arrangement. Evidently something will have to be done to remedy the strange injustice that has been inflicted upon many, aud to prevent more of it.
 Perhaps the city government under which this assessment has been made will be consistent enough to establish a real estate bureau and take all the offered at the new valuation. If it should it would do regular land office business, as they say in the boundless and bounding West. The as- sessors have already been offered much at prices below their valuation, but they haven't shown any apprecia- -ion of the bargains. We have heard of ,ne piece which they called worth $17,000 which has just been sold for $12,O00, and here are others eager to sell 1t good discount.

hats Some of the latest have a Christi
 mastree look That isn't pretty, but much depends upon the hat, the woman and the occasion.
 That was a glorious pleat the artist shows so conspicuously in to-day's pie ture. At its top were narrow bands of the dress goods-tan serge--and the rest of 1t was as straight and flat as accur- ate workmanship could make it. It's beauty will become almost ugliness when the skirt is lifted, but that doesn't prevent women from adopting skirts of this sort Often liberal but inconspicu- ous embroidery or applique work on the pleat brings it into tasteful contrast taton adds much of dressiness.> The pleats of this gown were stitched in pale green. Embroidery in green silk appeared on the bolero. Tucked green silk gave collar and vest, and panne velvet of the same shade supplied a deep bodice belt.
 There is an exactness about the high grade new shirt waist that may not be worth the garments big price, yet it cannot be found in the cheaper waists Those who must try to get as much as possible out of the cheaper sorts should aim to secure as many as possible of these points-long waist in front, mar row back, no yoke, front slightly bag ged, buttonholes exactly over buttons, neck band bit high in back and well up at the sides. Small points these, but often they are almost the only difference between dollar waist and a four dol lar garment. FLORETTE.

In Harpers Bazaar Hetty Green, the
 famous woman financier, tells why wo-
 men are not moneymakers. She says:
 In the first place, woman is entirely too into the world of commerce, believing
 in everything, and in herself most of all. A certain stock may be increased temporarily in value, owing to the en-
 terprise of it's owners, who are them selves advancing the market. The wo- man speculator, with her usual impet- uosity, thinks: 'I must have some of that If 1t is this high, can sell it for more" She does not stop to look over judgment, but, with both hands out stretched, offering her little all, she plunges headlong into the grasp of cun- ming speculators. The next day-or the next hour perhaps-the stock falls in value. She is just the prey the sharpers are looking for. If you must speculate, my dear woman, know something of what you are buying before you com init yourself. If a man is anxious to sell you something, 50 out yourself and see if you have any difficulty of dispos- ing ow your prospective purchase before you close the transaction. The seller may simply be trying to turn off some worthless stock on your hands. More supply of caution than by indiscrimi- nate recklessness. I am not advising | timidity. Quite the contrary. Be sure | that you are right first, then go ahead, ]

years trial" Of the trusts, and finds
 that profits are generally less than
 were expected" Many of them have i had their annual meetings and sub mitted reports. As a rule the results | have been gratifying to stockholders | but, in some cases, the outcome has

 of view of the underwater the profit

 most eases the common stock has to
 be added to the preferred to make the latter worth par. Often the profit is no more than would have been got out of old fashioned investments. In some cases there are severe losses, All this In good times when demand exceeds supply. When the present wave of prosperity ebbs and manufacturers have to scramble for business at reduc- ed prices, industrial stocks will, 1t is thought, fare badly "It is the opinion of some financlers," says, the Journal, that when this test is applied the task of reorganiza tion which has only re- gently been completed on an enormous scale in the railroad properties of the will have to be repeated i'll the new industrials.'
 All is not gold that glitters, and it is quite possible to be more scared than hurt.

It Is stated in Bennett's Weekly that at Griffenberg, Silesia, plant has been established for bleaching by means of ozone, or ozonized air. The ozone pro- duced by means of electricity is forced into chamber containing the articles to be bleached. The ozone is found to be preferable to chlorine or to the fumes of burning sulphur. It takes longer to bleach with ozone than with chlorine, but there is an advantage in the fact that the ozone does no injury to cotton fiber. It is excellent also with wool and silk. It is superior to sulphur in that the white produced by ozone is permanent and the color removed does not return when the silk or wool Is washed. Ozone is the natural bleacher, being the active agent in the ancient system of bleaching.

It is now said that the current delu- sion that the Chinese eat rats rests up- on the fact that small animal which infests rice-felds, known as the tsui- chow, is considered in China great delicacy. This little animal-about the size of ah ordinary rat, with a head shaped like ferret-feeds on rice. It is a very prolific creature, and is sold widely in the markets of Chinese cities. Usualy there are twenty or thirty of these animals. neatly cleaned and skewered apart, strung on bamboo reeds.

OXYGEN FOR SEA SICKNESS.

Two French physicians have oeen
experimenting with a new cure for that
troublesome malady, sea sickness.
They claim that they have found a
certain remedy in the inhaling of COM
pressed pure oxygen. An exchange
says:
Oxygen causes all feeling of nausea
to disappear, renews the strength and
finally induces a calm and restful slaep.
Furthermore, ii helps greatly to reSu-
late the respiration and to remove
headaches. According to the two ply
sicians. the oxygen should only be in
hailed through the mouth, and inhala-
tions should be long and should be
made at regular intervals. The nostrils
meanwhile should be closed. Finally
the physicians point out that pure oxy-
gen can be easily procured and can be
readily kept in tubes of a suitable size
THE news of this discovery will
surely be welcome, not only to the
many Americans who intend to ere IS
the Atlantic this year. but also to the
many physicians who know that, wnile
sea sickness Is not in itself a grave
malady, 1t nevertheless has often 4 Sc
rious effect on persons suffering from

According to a statement made yester-
day by j. K. Kaulia. the Independent
leaders are commencing to name the jobs
" hich they desire in the local government.
They expect to control the affairs of the
city of Honolulu as well as all Hawaii.

fairs of the City after the Legislature
concludes its session. said Mr.. Kaulia
yesterday to Advertiser reporter IN

our own men into the offices which are
now held by haoles and run affairs our
selves"
by that you mean that you will place
one of your Independent leaders at the
head of the Board of Heath, Board OF
Education, Waterwoiks Department, and
SO on?" queried the reporter.
Yes, that's what i mean," replied Mr..
kaula, putting serenely at his cIgar-one
of the Independent campaign smokes.
1T understood, Mr.. kaulia, that you
intend assuming control of the affairs of
the police department-that you intend to
become High Sheriff under this plan?''
"Oh, well, that is to be considered. OF

II presume you have enough influence
with them to put your name up for what
ever high office you would want, then?"
"Oh, yes
