Grand Reception.

Inelr nlSn dppISCldIlOH OI the way in which they have been treated by MT. Jas. Colquhoun, the general man. ager of the company, on his return home from Scotland after four one of the handsomest receptions ever , given to any man in Arizona, perhaps, and it was participated in by every employe of the company who could be present, as well as all the towns people outside the employees, who think equally as well of MT. Colqu- houn.
 The reception was well conceived and excellently carried out, and was a most beautiful and we'll deserved tribute. No greater mark of esteem could have been paid to returning hero of conquering armies; and all of this grand ovation and outburst of good cheer comes solely from the fact that the employees of the Arizona Copper Co. are ever treated courte- ously, fairly and honestly by the gen. eral manager. No man, however humble, in the employ of the com pany, ever went to MT. Colquhoun that he did not listen patiently to his grievances and right them if the mans cause was just. This one quail ity of MT. Colquhoun has endeared him to the employees of the company as nothing else could, and in the after walks of life he can point with pride to these attestations of good feeling and reciprocation on the part of the men who have helped him to make the Arizona Copper Co. and Clifton what it is.
 When he arrived last Friday even- ing, with his wife and two little boys who had preceded him to Scotland by year or more, he was greeted by the cheers of hundreds who had gathered at the depot to welcome him home and do him honor. The first think to meet his gaze was an arch over his front door steps beautifully decorated with flags and bunting las was also his house, inside and out) which was bril- liantly lighted with electric lights, spelling out the words " Welcome FHome".
 Col. Egan made the speech of well come in his characteristic style, which was we'll worded and most appropri- ate, to which MT. Colquhoun respond ed very graciously and modestly, say ing he was glad to get back to Ameri- ca and especially to Clifton. His frequent allusion to the land of his adoption and birth place of his child ren was loudly applauded.
 One of the chief features of the reception was a grand display of fire works which was-enjoyed by all.
 MT. Colquhoun can always look back upon the occasion as pleasing event of his life and the ERA will say for him that he richly deserves the high compliment paid him by the employees of the company, of which he is the head, and the people of Clifton gen. orally. In conclusion we say: Thrice welcome home.

MORE IMPROVEMENTS.
200-Ton COncentrator to be Erected at LongfellOw A. & N. M. By to be Made Standard
 Gauge Contract Let.

In his speech last Friday evening at the reception rendered him on his re- turn home from Scotland MT. Colqu- houn stated that he wished to take the people of Clifton into his cOnfi- dence and let them know first of the many improvements which would be made in the next twelve months by the Arizona Copper Co. He stated that the chief of their Improvements would be the widening of the railway gauge from here to Lordsburg from a 36-inch to standard gauge, and that the latter gauge would no doubt be extended to the Longfellow incline. At the latter place bins holding tons of ore are to be constructed, which will be the central point for all the mines of the company as we'll as those operated by other companies.
 At the Longfellow mines will be erected a 2OO-ton concentrator, which will do away with the heavy traffic over the Longfellow incline.
 The old reduction plant of the com pany here in Clifton is to be remodel ed throughout, many parts of which are to be made entirely new.
 A tunnel is to be driven under the works and into mountains back of them where it will connect with a shaft from the top of the mountain; this shaft and tunnel are to be used as dust chamber for all the furnaces as we'll as to conduct the smoke from the converters away from the town. Thus the dust and smoke from the works, which are the only disagree able features of the town, are to be done away with.
 An entirely new water system for the town is to be inaugurated, the water for which will be brought from up the river above the mineral belt, which now gives to the town a poor water supply.
 All these improvements, and many minor ones, which mean so much for the advancement of Clifton and its future, are to be completed inside of the next twelve months.

Pay Your Poll Tax.

Do not fail to get your name upon the great register. It is the duty of every American citizen to register and vote. There are only thirteen days left in which to register and it should be borne in mind that if you are not registered you cannot vote. A large number object to registering, even some of those who have paid their poll tax, claiming that it is hu- initiating to be compelled to produce any kind of receipt in order to vote. This view of the case, however, is childish and should not be entertain ed. The poll tax law is on the statute books and must be respected until same is repealed.

SCIENTIFIC RECREATION.
Making Mink and Water Change
GLASSES

Msking MINK aud Water Change
A pretty bit of scientific recreation
which comes in handy after dinner is
sometimes called by the high-sound-
ing title of The Revenge of the
Daniades." in allusion to the daugh-
tiers OF Danaus. who, as a punishment
for their crimes, were condemned to
forever draw water with leaky yes
sells. Fill completely two glasses of
exactly the same size and shape, one
with water. the other with milk.
Stretch over the mouth of the glass
containing the water a circular cover
ing of tulle or other thin goods some
what larger than the glass and pre-
yiously moistened. Now smooth the
tapping over tulle as closely to the
glass as possible, and holding the palm
OF the right hand squarely to the
mouth OF this glass, seize the stem
with the left and turn it quickly up
side down, avoiding the entrance of
air. Next slide the right hand softly
away from underneath, and much to
your establishment, the tulle will re-
main, sticking to the glass, while not
a drop of water will fall out through
that exceedingly leaky tissue. You
will very soon succeed in this expert
ment. Hereon follows the second
part: Place your full, but not drip
ping glass Of water, thus turned up
side down, but not inside out, over the
full glass Of milk, and you will soon
see little Jets of white liquid pene-
trating the tulle in every direction. II
is the milk, progressively mounting
the superior glass, while in the same
proportion yields water to tie lower
glass in the opposite direction. At
the end of about quarter of an hour
the exchange win be complete, and
you will see the lower glass filled with
pure, transparent water, while, the
upper one will be full of white milk.

ORIGIN OF THE MANOR.
1t Was Once Synonymous with Town
ship or vllln.

| 1t Was Once Synonymous with Town
ship or villa.
The term manor" runs all through
the great survey of the eleventh CEN
fury and was evidently the unit of So
ciety which the royal commissioners
had in mind. Either as constituent
elements Of manors or as their feudal
possessors, all the rural population Of
England were ranked Even since
this word has been rescued by the
economic historians from the vague,
intangible unreality OF its use by law
yers and the early historians Of law, it
has been supposed that its significance
in the eleventh century was the same
as In later centuries, and that 1t
therefore represented territorial dis
trict as we'll as legal conception, be-
ing synonymous to this extent with
township or villa, save the Interna-
tional Monthly. That Is to say,
manor was stretch of land with the
people on it, over which the lord Of
the manor possessed judicial and
semi-proprietary rights. England was
considered to be made up of multi
tude of such manors, each of which
was, to a considerable extent, micro
cosm Of the whole nation. The mean
ing which Prof. Maitland extracts
from Domesday Book is far differ
cnt one. "A manor is house against
which geld is charged" BY a long
and skillful analysis of the uses of the
term he reaches the conclusion that
ii had in the eleventh century dis
tinct, technical Specification, and that
manor was simply the place where
the government land tax due from GER
tain land and its occupants was paid
in one lump sum. The man to whom
the government looked for the tax
was the holder of the manor A
manor was, therefore, sometimes a
single tenement of a few acres, some
times a whole will, sometimes a num-
Der of holdings scattered in many
Wills, other manors being represented
in the same agricultural groups. 1t
was not, therefore, either an agricul-
tural or judicial whole, but merely
unit OF taxation. II this is so. 1t has
great significance for that most vital
of all the questions in the early social
history of England still in dispute,
whether the mass of the people began
in serfdom and only gradually emerged
into freedom, as Mr. Seebohm, Prof.
Ashley and others, with various reser-
vations suppose; or whether they be-
gan in freedom and sunk later into
serfdom, as is taken for granted by
Freeman, Green and their school.

Rural Free Delivery ny Trolley.

New England will soon have rural
free delivery Of mail by electric cars.
Some farmers and other residents in
the northeastern part of Massachu-
sets and the adjoining New Hamp-
shire territory have taken the initial
steps in this matter, the idea having
occurred to them few weeks ago.
when they first received an electric car
service in place of the stage coach
which formerly ran between Exeter
and Amesbury. Should this expert
ment prove successful rural free de-
livery by electric cars would be intro
