Dunne'S "Dooley'' Dead.
The Original of the "DOoIey" Papers
 Dies at Ripe Old Age.

James McGarry, the original of F. Peter Dunne's "Dooley," died Tues day at Chicago, at an advanced age. McGarry was formerly saloon keeper, well known locally for his wit and the whimsical philosophy he brought to bear on passing events.
 James McGarry, from a study of whom Mir. Dunne created the old philosopher now known as Mir. Doc ley, did not relish the notoriety that accrued to him when Mir Dunne's sketches of the old fellow first became popular in Chicago. The laughter they provoked sifted into McGarry's saloon ou Dearborn street, and in high dudgeon the proprietor called one day on the managing editor of the Chicago Evening Post for redress. His persecutor sat in an adjoining room enjoying the old mans dis comfort. Mir. Dunne tells the story himself in this wise:
 "An' air ye tn editor of the pa-aper? Me name is McGarry. I'm dacint ma-an, I am. I attind to me own ba-ar over on Dee-bohn street and mind me own business. That young falley, Petey Dunde, do be ma-akin' fun out of me and putin a hull lot of things in me head l never sa-ay. Now, I'm a da-acint ma-an and wish ye'd have it stopped. l don't like it; can't slape for thinkin' of the spaches I niver ma-ake, and won't ye pla-ase call him off, Mr. McAuly, that's food falley now. for I'm a da -acint ma-an, am. an l don't like it."
 Then McCarry, whose voice was getting shakier, and shakier, actually began to cry. Bluff but kind-hearted Cornelius McAuly. at that time man aging editor of the Post, soothed Me Garry and promised him the prose cution should cease, After the old fellow had gone, Dunne was called 1T and instructed to drop McGarry': name from his sketches. In his place came Mir. Dooley of Archey RoaC fame, who since then has acquired a worldwide reputation as a philoso pher and humorist.

Verses to Be Memorized.

The following verses from some unknown sacred writer should all be memorized. The second verse is the golden text:
 1. Thou shalt not go away from home to do thy trading, nor thy son nor thy daughter.
 ?. Thou shalt patronize thy home merchants and thy home paper; yea, verily, doth not the home paper spread over the land good things of thy goodness and greatness. Thou shalt keep thy subscription paid in advance. If thou art not taking thy home paper make haste, therefore, and subscribe for that which will cause your countenance to shine with intelligence.
 3. Thou shalt employ thy own me chanics, that they may not be driven from their homes to find bread for their little ones. Thou shalt consider him as your neighbor, above all them that dwelleth in strange town.

Hoey Wins First Round.

In the district court yesterday af- ternoon at 1 o'clock Judge Davis ren- dered a decision on Judge Barnes de- murrer to the fourth indictment brought by. the grand jury against Wm. H. Hoey. In this indictment Hoey was charged with riding on a pass and charging his railroad fare to the government.
 Judge Davis sustained the demurrer of the attorney for the plaintiff on the grounds that two charges were brought in the indictment, one for riding on a pass from Nogales to Tucson and the other for riding on a pass from Nogales to Maricopa, and charging the fare to the government. Under the territorial statutes, the charges can not be brought i'll the same indictment and Judge Davis de cided that the Arizana statutes ap- piled in this case and not the U. S. statutes as objected by Attorney Me LemOre.
 Mir. McLemore stated to the court that the government did not desire the case to be submitted to the next grand jury, hence Judge Davis dis missed the case. Hoey's trial, on the charge of aiding and abetting in the bringing of Chinamen unlawfully into the United States, will begin tomor- row morning.-Tucson Citizen.

Railroads in Court.

The Fl Paso & Southwestern rail. road. commonly called the Bisbee now being constructed vest of El Paso across New Mexico and Arizona was Saturday enjoined by the South ern Pacific from crossing a New Mexico mountain defile near the Texas-New Mexico border, already occupied by the Southern Pacific tracks.
 The Bisbee company had prepared to put 1,500 men at work at daylight Monday to rush across the pass be- fore an injunction could be served, but the Southern Pacific was one day too soon and secured service of writ from the Dona Ana county district court early on Saturday. For some time the Southern Pacific company has apparently been fighting the Bis bee, which is building a parallel line, and at one time recently a fence was built along the Southern Pacific right of way and armed guards were sta toned to prevent the Bisbee from making a crossing near Deming.

May Not Be Crowned.

A London telegram of October 18th, says there is clearly defined impression in diplomatic circles that King Edward is threatened with some organic complaint. Some go so far as to say it is cancer or Bright's dis ease, or both. Probably whatever ailment may threaten him, it has not reached definite or dangerous stage, else he would be quite unable to keep up his incessant round of public du- ties and private pastimes with the regularity and zest which he contin- ues to display. However, there is undoubtedly a very alarming pre- monition in court circles, especially among women, that the king will never live to be crowned, which, how ever, baseless or otherwise, is having a serious effect on the trade. A ia vorite story in this connection, now current, is that a palmist told Queen Alexandria not long ago he would never live to be crowned.

Brown Electric Ore Finder.

An interesting exhibition was given yesterday in the writing room of Hotel Burke by Wilson, who Is in Arizona for the purpose of surveying claims with the electro geodetic min eral finder, which he claims will To- cate ore beneath the surface of the ground, and save millions of dollars to the miners by showing them where to do their work to uncover their rich est ore.
 Not only does Mir. Wilson claim he can locate lodges by the use of his scientific instrument, but he has ann pie proof that he can do what he claims. He has numerous letters from mining men too well known to question their integrity, backing up every statement he makes in reference to his mineral finder. The exhibition consisted of tests by electricity, on different pieces of ore which were placed upon the table in the room. With the use of the electrical contriv- ance MT. Wilson caused current of electricity to be turned upon piece of ore. The writhing, twisting cur rent played over the piece of ore till mineral was reached, when it would [ follow the mineral through the rock, emerging from the other side. When barren quartz was used the current would simply play over the outside, proving that where mineral existed the resistence was less than where there was simply country rock. Some metals are better conductors than others, therefore more resistance was shown on the indicator where gold existed than where the ore carried copper.
 The principle as shown at the hotel is the secret of the instrument used in the field for locating lodges con taining minerals. The process is a simple one, and is based purely upon scientific facts. MT. Wilson is always glad to talk with mining men and can be found at Hotel Burke.

PROSPEROUS FARMERS.

Speaking of good times for farmers, the American Agriculturist notes that their wheat crop this year is worth more than last Jear's by Sl50,OOO,000 Other gains represent as large total this year as last, the shortage in yield of corn being made up by advance in price. Potatoes are so high that the short crop will probably return more money to the farmers than ever before. Live stock represents value of nearly S250,OOO,OOO over last year. Apples and sther fruits are extraOr- dinarily high. The farm products of the United States this year are doubtless worth S400,000,000 more than last years outturn. The cereals (wheat, corn, oats, rye and barley) raised in the United States during the past five years represents value to the farmer of S6,250,OO0,OOO or an increase of Sl,0O0,OO0,OO0 over the preceding five years. Cotton growers have netted S4OO,OOO,OOO more for the past five crops Q9Ol crop estimated) than for the previous five. Taking 1896 as fair basis of values during the late agricultural depression, nine staple crops for this year represent an increase in value of over S700, 0,000,- 900. Live stock is worth S1,000,000,- 900 more now than then. During the past five years agricultural exports have been S93S,OO0,000 greater in value than for the preceding five years, gain of 30 per cent.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

President Roosevelt on Saturday, Nov. 8, issued his Thanksgiving proclamation, which is as follows:
 "The season is nigh when, accord ing to the time honored custom of our people, the president appoints day as a special occasion for praise and thanksgiving to God. This thanks giving finds the people still bowed with sorrow for the death of a great and good president. We mourn President Mckinley because we so loved him and honored him, and the manner of his death should awaken in the breasts of our people a keen anxiety for the country. and at the same time a resolute purpose not to be driven by any calamity from the path of that strong, orderly and popular liberty which, as a nation, we have thus far safely trod.
 "Yet, in spite of this great disaster, it is nevertheless true that no people on the earth have such abundant cause for thanksgiving as we have The past year in particular, has been one of peace and plenty. We have prospered in things material, and have been able to work for our OWL uplifting in things intellectual and spiritual. Let us remember that a: such it has been given us, and tha' true homage comes from the heart a' well as from the lips and shows itsel in deed. We can best prove Ou thankfulness to Almighty God b! the way in which, on this earth a this time, each of us does his duty t his fellow men.
 "Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose welt, president of the United States do hereby designate as a day of gen eral thanksgiving, Thursday, the 2Stl day of November, in the year of ou Lord, 1901.

Humors of a Blue Book.

In his description of the Uganda railway. Sir Charles Eliot, the Com missioner of the East Africa Protec torate, says it must not be supposed that the line has many degree spoiled the country or the people-both are still 'in the rough" 'It is not a humorous exaggeration to say that the wayside landscapes remind the traveller of the series of pictures in Punch called Prehistoric Peeps On the platforms naked savages peer and grin with good humored generosity; their nudity is rendered more conspicuous by the fact that they wear short cloaks hanging down their backs and carry elaborate ornaments, Ofteh including old jam pots, in the slits cut in their ears. Near the stations the ostrich and the barn door fowl almost intermingle. The obstinate rhinoceros, who as- similates new ideas more slowly than other beasts, sometimes disputes the passage of a train in a narrow cut ting and derails it, though he per ishes in the attempt. A troop of more intelligent elephants occasion ally occupy a station, and in their curiosity ravage the booking office and take tickets, which cannot be ac- counted for afterwards"
 Another good story is that ''on the occasion of the funeral Of bishop the king of the country was bidden to the service. He came half dead with fear; his presence could be de- sired for only one reason; he was to be buried alive with the bishop in or der that the latter might present him as convert in the celestial regions. The ceremony seemed so natural, SC appropriate, that his own officials could not even formulate a protest, When at the conclusion of the service he still found himself outside the grave, he went away very glad in- deed, but feeling that the ways of Europeans were absolutely incompre- | T.

Young Folks HaIIcwe' 'en.

Miss Florence Herndon entertained large number of her young friends at the home of her parents on Cortez street last evening, by giving Hal lowe'en social. The invitations sent out were very uniquely worded and it is almost needless to state that all invitations were accepted. The little folks gathered en masse and the sim pie statement of fact that boys and girls, between the ages of ten and fourteen years can get more real en- joyment out of association with each other than their older brothers and sisters, an idea can be obtained of the good time that was experienced during the evening. Games of vari- ous kinds were played in which all joined most heartily and fortunes were told, every last one of which told of the good things the future had in store for them. Refreshments were served and It was very nearly midnight before the guests dispersed for their homes.
