TO THE WHITE HOUSE

I am often asked" said Captain Du- cois, of the executive mansion staff, now many visitors daily pass through the big main doors of the presidents house. It is not easy to strike daily average, because of the fluctuations of travel and the attendance of delega- tions.
 Sometimes .he president will receive visiting delegation of 1,C0O or over; and on other days devoted to the recep tion of the public not over 200 or 300 persons will shake his hand. But every day in the week during the hours which the white house is open to vis itors. there is a steady stream of tour ists and visitors coming in.
 ''In fact this furnishes a good est mate of the number of the strangers within our gates, as every stranger who comes to Washington visits the white house and the capitol. I think that on regular average about 1.OOo persons enter the white house on every week day.
 As a handshaker the president is success as he receives and personally greets each member of a delegation of. say 500 persons with dispatch and Sracl-uSneSS and a1aDlIty CndI pledS%S those who thus briefly meet him. It is a great event in the lives of many to whom this privilege is accorded, an1 We often afterward hear such remarks as 'They will be pleased at home to know that we have shaken hands with president"
 "It is the congressional library, how ever. which is the most largely visited building in Washington, except the capitol and the figures here given wer@ obtained by a Star reporter and are of ficial. The daily average number of persons who pass into the beautiful re- ception hall of this great storehouse of books is 2,6C0 in round numbers. the daily attendance ranging from 2,3C0 to 5000, depending upon the season of tn year-N.

TOUCHING ARIZONA.

Prescott has quite a distinguished visitor at present in the person of Prof. A. A. Wright of Oberlin college. He is the guest of MT. and Mrs. T. w. Otis, the former and he having been friends of forty years standing. Prof. Wright has been granted a vacation from the college on account of poor health and is en route Ito Pasadena to recuperate, and took advantage of the op portunity to stop off at Pres colt for a visit to his old time friend here. He is a professor of na- , tural sciences in Oberlin and makes speciality of geology, and finds much in this section to interest him in this par
 ulcular line. He will remain here for several days before proceeding to Pas adena.-JournalM Mirror.
 pr. George w. Greenleaf died at the Hotel Gandolfo on Saturday morning, December 1st, at 2:30 o'clock. He hal been i'll about two weeks, and the inn mediate cause of death was heart fail ure. He had been troubled with an affection of the heart for a long time. The deceased was a native of Maine, where he was born thirty-two years ago. He came from Boston, Mass, to Arizona, in 1895, first locating in Phoe- nix in the practice of medicine, and came to Yuma about two years ago. Up to the time of his last illness, he was county physician, and also phy sician at the Fort Yuma Indian school, besides having a large general prac- tice. He was very successful in his profession and deservedly popular with all classes.
 Yesterday morning a well-known society lady of Prescott was drawing a bucket of water, says the Courier. She was probably looking for truth, or something else, at the bottom of the well, and as usual, her mouth was open, when her false teeth jared loose and dropped into the well. She had just vitality and presence of mind enough left to draw up the busket of water, when, Oh, joy of joys, she saw the missing teeth at the bottom of the bucket. As this is the first instance on record of drawing teeth from a well. the lady thinks of hanging out her shingle as a dentist.

The Republican is grieved that it Is necessary to invoke the aid of law to stop a thing that is manifestly wrong and clearly against the best interests of the community. A bull fight will disgrace the territory. It will lower us in our own opinion and in the opinion of respectable people everywhere. The territory will reap not honor nor glory, but shame and derision.
 Morality cannot be juggled with by right it is right. If it is wrong 1t is wrong. Bull fighting is so far discoun- tenanced by the people of this coun- try that every state in the union has It is left for a few men in Arizona to drag the good name of cur territory in the sewer of dishonor and disgrace. Those things that all the people out side of Arizona pronounce bad are not the kind that We should foster.
 Arizona has suffered enough through
 
 thunder, of train robberies, of drunken brawls. of Indian outbreaks. of every thing that pertains to- the wild and woolly. We want people to come to us, good people. moral people, people who are intelligent and respectable. How can we ask them to come when we countenance such outrageous exhibi- tions of brutahgy? Can we advertise as one of the chief reasons why re- spectable men should oJTne here with their families to settle, that we will give a bull fight every so often? That street fights will be given for their ed ification? That the education of their those things that make them wise in inhuman cruelty, in savage customs, in gross and merciless barbarities. That we offer every opportunity for in word and deed?
 Will the fact that we hold periodical bull fights be an argument in favor of statehood?
 Will bull fighting be an argument in favor of water storage?
 In justification of their action MT Hugh Creighton and his syndicate are claiming that the affair will not be the real thing" that there will be no fighting. nor bloodshed, nor pranc- ing, fiery steeds. In other words, it is to be a fake. pure and simple. Sll! they advertise the desptcable affair as a genuine Mexican bull fight. They want t1 get the people here and then sell them gold brick. Wouldn't that jar you? There's honor for you with a vengeance.
 We are heartily glad the carnival committee took decided stand against this fake "bull fight" from the starr. Its skirts are clear Of any of the odium attaching to this dlsgraceful affair.

A man who hopes to succeed In any line of business must have friends.
 They cannot be bought FRIENDS. nor borrowed ready
 made. They must be evolved out of the men and women he meets in everyday life.
 How shall he do this?
 We know of no better way than by following the rule given in Proverbs; "A man that hath friends must show himself friendly" The man whose friends are the most numerous is the one who likes his fellows; who is hap py in their comradeshlp; who takes hu- manity as he finds it. laughing at it's foibles, loving it's seriousness and its earnestness.

Mamma has made him little suits, With pockets in his pants, And cut off all his yellow curls And sent them to my aunts; And Will, he was so pleased, believe He almost jumped wrh joy; But I must own I didn't like Will turned into boy. And now he plays with horrid tops I don't know how to spin, And marbles that try to shoot, But never hit nor win. And leapfrog-I can't give "back" Like Charley, Frank or Roy Oh, no one knows how bad I feel Since Will has turned a boy. I have to wear frJcks just the same, And now they're mostly white; I have to sit and just be good, While Will can climb and fight; But I must keep my dresses nice And wear my hair in curk And worst-oh, worstest thing of all 1 have to stay d girl

The Americans "a Race That Takes
 It's Ease in Working"

"A distinguished art critic in discus sion of the Paris exposition, applying the sense which in consideration of art in painting and sculpture finds na- tional trends and characteristics in the method and feeling of a nations can vases and marbles applying this nice appreciation to other things-fnds the same principal apparent in the more pros2ic hardiwork of the shops. For example, he finds the American char3c- ter, the American esprit delineated perfectly in an American locomotive, as distinct from a French, German, or him: The American machines show a combination of elegance, practicalfty, convenience and power which betokons a race that takes it's ease in working"
 Could anything have been put more happily? The trim, snug, 1.-the Brit ish type, less impressive but business like; the ornate and pOmpous German style; the shaplier, lighter French form, less effective, more noisy, inn pressing one rather wfrh it's agility than it's momentum and with a palpa- ble straining for the artistic-with each of these the travelcr is familiar. It needs only to draw the attention to the lines of these variant types to mark their correspondence with the same racial tendencies of which we are made conscious every day in the study of art, literature and morals.
 In this sense machinery becomes more than utilitarian; it be- come symbolic.
