THE OLD MANS ADVICE.

My boy" said the old man. kindly, as he poked his head through the back parlor doorway, about II D. m., where his prospective son-in-law, Charles, sat courting Eliza with the gas turned on full force. are you aware that the moon is shining brightly this evening: Just see" and the old man turned the gas out. Just observe, my boy. how the moons yellow rays light up this room. Truly. it is a glorious specta- ele- But come with ne q moment; have something in the cellar that wish 10 show you
 Then the old man took a bulls eye lantern and led the way down the eel lar stairs, closely followed by Charles
 My boy" said he. softly, as they reached the cellar. II know you love Eliza with all the strength of your noble heart. and you love to meet her often, and let me say that have no Ob- jection whatever to your doing so. simply requested your presence in this cellar that I might give you a much needed and useful lesson in economy Observe. young man. the little box over in that corner
 Here he turned the light of his bulls eye full upon the aforesaid box.
 Well. that's gas meter. and every time that little pointer whirls round the space of that dial it means three shillings six nearer the work house for me- That's all. Charles. Now we will ascend. and hereafter when the moon is shining you will not rorzet my lesson fn economy, will you? Remember. my boy. to meet her by moonlight costs nothing. but to meter by gaslight is quite another affair Goodnight, Charles: the moon is still shining brightly. see'

INCORPORATION FEVER.

The incorporation fever seems to have struck several of the towns of the territory at about the same time. The ladies of Florence have been given charge of the work of securing incor- poration for that little city. with fairly good prospects of making it q sue cess. Kingman and Williams. of the northern part of the territory, are also talking of incorporating and others yet to hear from.
 But there is another side 10 the story. The citizens of Chloride. who have been enjoying @ the blessings of incorporation for some time. are making q strong effort to disincorpo- rate. claiming ir has been a failure in their case. Thus the saying: What is one mans meat is another's poison is verified

WILLIAMS NEWS PHILOSOPHY.

Successful natures must be able to close up at will.
 There are lots of men. but few rep reSentative ones.
 A wOman's genuine woe must ere ate an angels sadness.
 The wings of woe are always rested by the oil of kindness.
 Dissipation is not pleasure. and only the ignorant mistake it.
 The proper way iS to remove the cause of evil and not beat the child.
 The roads to success pass through granite and they must be hewn out
 The marol leper nowadays is many times found in the temples of virtue.
 A boy or young man without pride and self-respect, is an mredeemable bankrupt.
 When q man tries to live without work. dishonesty creeps In and that life must be q failure.
 They live successfully who figure for peace. plenty and are as far removed from the world as possible.
 In this day of progression. young man idle at 21 stands q fine chance of being either dishonest or a tramp at 40
 The moment we begin to thing more of ourselves than others. that mo ment we begin to decline and grow small

 to Go Into the Territory

A Yer AIehr. of Kingman. Arizona. a guest at the Nadeau. talked of the future of NIOhave county. says the Los Angeles Express. MT. Yer AIehr thinks loo to 1O3 degrees in the Arizona ther- mometers does not affect one as much as S9 to 20 degrees in this city.
 He says things have been unusually dull in Arizona of late. but he expects to see il improve The mineral de pOSitS have not been much more than scratched in the vicinity of Kingman and Williams The trouble k that thus far nobody has been into the ter ritory with sufficient sand tO put down a shaft several hundred feet into the earth. Few shafts in the whole terri tory have been sunk over 100 feet The Congress. Tennessee and other mines as they go down find the larg- est bodies of ore. but they do not con tinue as they should into the bowels of the earth. The San Francisco mine which has recently been sold. Mir Mehr thinks. will come tO the front very rapidly. under the new manage ment. for the owners are men who will put down a shaft to where the rich est deposits are.

All that Arizona needs. in the estimation of Mir Mehr. iS men with capital to invest in the mines and then employ practical miners to attend the work for them. There is now a lull at Chloride

..ROXER" SITUATION

T Washington. June 9-NIinister Con Fer cabled today that the situation at &ekin was worse, and this statement. hken ill connection with the alarm ling cablegram from Admiral Kempff received yesterday announcing that an engagement had begun. decided the state department to strengthen the naval forces near the scene of trouble. Accordingly q cablegram has been sent to Admiral Remey at Manila di- recting him to dispatch at once to Ad- miral Memphis command the gun boat Helena. or q correspOndingly light draught ship.
 From latest advices it is gathered that the Boxers are about to at tack Tien Tsin.
 Shanghai. June 6.-The soldiers dis patched to attack the Boxers have fought an engagement quite close to Pekin The fighting lasted several hours. Many were killed on both sides. In consequence of the repre- sentations of Japan the landing of a large Russian force at Aaku is alleged to have been stopped. It is believed here that should Russia persist in sending prepOnderating military force to the front q collision with Ja- pan will inevitably result Alarming reports are current here of the hurried completion of the mobilization of the Japanese feet.

The weather was perfect for outdoor exercises. The plaza was cool and shady: the streets and many of the buildings were decorated with flags. bunting and evergreenS.

Las Vegas and Albu- querque helped give the ceremonies a military appearance. and the turnout of the Elks of Las Vegas and Santa Fe helped make the parade q notable one. Thirty or forty militia conOnelS in gorgeous uniforms and the ancient goat of the Elks. were the principal Ob- iects of attraction in the procession. Three bands furnished excellent music for the occasion. and it was q happy throng of people who crowded into the new capitol of the territory of New Mexico and assisted in the dedicatory ceremonies.
