A GALA WEEK AT FLORENCE
A Conjunction of the U. s. and Ter
 ritorisl Courts.

Florence. Ariz., May 1S.-(Speclal Correspondence of Ths Republ.can)- Beautiful. quiet, peaceful little Flor encc has had its pulse thrilled with a new stir of life during the past ten days. The Indian school of Sacaton set the ball rolling with matched game of base ball. The score was 2S to 13 in favor of Florence. The boys accepted their defeat graciously and left the city with glowing coHors, extending an invitation to meet thdn when on thsir own grounds next year.
 This was followed by a grand enter tainmsnt given by the ladies of the town to the strangers. The Temple of Fame proving decided success and bringing forth much talent.
 The combination of United Stat and district court made this the meeting place of many distinguished Ali zoniars.
 Judge Louis Reashau was here In all his fascinating unlqueness. He was the pet of the social hour and presided over the mazes and intricacies of the evening dance. To the eastener his face is familiar through magazine and newspaper pictures. He is the one survivor of the Custer massacre. It was he who carried the news to Cody. better known as Buffalo Bill" He is still man of splendid physique and great muscular strength. He wears his hair long; eats three pounds of beef at a meal. He has been justice of the peace at Fort Thomas for fifteen years and has the distinction of knowing that every couple he has ever married has been divorced.
 Rev. r. M. Downs of Stafford was here. Pleasant, socia,, genial, full of love and good will to men.
 F. D. Williamson, of Stafford. also a born elocutlonist. contributed to the pleasure of the occasion.
 Mir. Wm. Neal of Oracle, modest, un- assuming. gifted. and talented. is the center of the musical entertainments.
 Clifton and Morenci gave us num- Der of entertaining, talented young men. among whom were: E. F. Kaub, c. D. Mitchell. A. D. Jackson. R. F. Hin and J. H. Camby and others. Mr. fNbub ia t bliSHt handsome and has in his kind way added much to the pleasure of the oc- casion. Mir. Mitchell excels in parlia mentary customs and acted as pre- siding officer. while Mr. Camby had charge of the whole group.
 Attorney Oscar C. Stone of Solomon vile was the man to whom everyone was telling his troubles, and although he had several important. cases in the court room he found time for plenty of broad. helpful sympathy with the many who went to him for help. He has host of friends and bids fair to be a l;ading Arizona citizen. Ills charming young wife has just returned from visit to her parents in Spokane. Wash. She Is already an authoress of fair renown and realizes much pleas ure and profit from her East new book Bobby Gaylark's Typewriter and Other Stories"
 Mfr. F.. c. Back. treasurer of the Gi.a Valley bank, was pleasant social acquisition to this most happy gathering of Aiizonians.
 Judge Marshall is here from Kelvin, and in his quiet. effective way is a recognized political power.

SHE RUNS RIVER PACKETS.
A Missouri Woman the Only Boat
 Agent in the United States.

At La Grange, Mo, an important landing for steamboats on the Missis- slppi river, Miss Lena Bohon is the duly accredited agent of packet company and discharges all the duties of the office to the satisfaction of all concerned. She enjoys the unique dis tlnction of being the only member of her sex to fill such position, either in this or any othr country, and Is proud of the fact
 It is only recently that 1t has been possible for woman to successfully discharge the duties of such an office. Years ago the steamboat agent was. a man. He had to be. because he had 10 hustle aboard arriving steamers and then hustle off as the gangplank was being hauled In. Then he had fre- quently to mingle with the roustabouts. But there are not as many steamboats now as there used to be, and the busi- ness isn't done in the same way This may in part account for Miss Lena Be- hons position. She waa appointed in 1898 after the death of her father, who had been the agent of the Diamond Joe line for forty years. She is now agent for five steamers. three plying between St. Louis and St. Paul and two between Keokuk and Quincy.
 Miss Bc,ion has no assistant. She is always ready for duty at the old-fash- toned wharfhouse. When eteamboats. at night announce their approach Miss Bohon. who lives with her mother five blocks away. hastily dresses, picks up her lantern and hurries to the landing place. If she desires the steamer to stop she flashes her lantern in certain way.
 Officials of the packet company aver that she Is one of the most faithful, &C., curate and capable agents in their em- ploy. She sells tickets, makes out freight bills and receipts collects week ly accounts with the merchants and other shippers and cheeks off every bale of hay, bus.iel of wheat or tub of butter that goes on board boat. She over sees personally the receiving and dis charging of freight.
 At the age of 15 the affairs of the of- flee could be safely entrusted to her

FOUNDED ON FALSE PREMISES.

A hoarse voice from Lincoln, Neb., declares that, in spite of all that may be said to the contrary, there is nothing to do but to ''let democracy and plu- tocracy fight it out" The principal trouble about that Is that whenever democracy has clean shirt and enough energy to fight at all, 1t is mak- ing very creditable effort to join the plutocracy. if that is what getting on In the world is called. The attempt to divide the people politically on lines of personal fortune or i'll fortune has not been great success in the past and 1t is not likely to be In the future.--Chi- cago Chronicle.

IL consisted of breast of spring chicken, fried sweet potatoes cooked crisp corn bread after the southern style. apple sauce and champion biscuits. Mrs. Me- Kinley told Mir.

She got a cut -glase inkstand, And n new pearl-handled pen. And some dainty tinted paper You have seen 1t now and then. She thought she'd write a poem about The "whither and the whence'-- Something pathetic, sorrowful, And soulfully intense. And so within the crystal font Her jeweled pen she dipped; But dnsipration from her grasp. Alack, had somehow slipped! But soon. undaunted.

VICTORIA REIGNED 23,22s DAYS.

Somebody with the bump of statistics abnormally developed has taken the trouble to calculate the exact length of the Victorian era in days, hours, min- utes and even seconds.
 As the reign of Queen Victoria began at 2:20 on the morning of June 20. 1887, and closed at 6:3O on the evening of January 22 1901, it follows that the total length was 23,223 days. 557.3 .3s6 full hours. S3,443,170 minutes. or 2,0O6, ,590. 200 seconds. All but 546k hours of it were in the nineteenth century.-London Tit Bits.

SHORT PERSONAL STORIES.

Mr. Hoshi Toru. minister of commu- nications. Is one of modern Japan's re- markable man. Having studied law twenty-five years ago in England, and being called to the English bar, he started his life as an official of the ju- dicial department. Here his bellicose nature soon brought him into collision with his less enlightened and more con- servative colleagues. The government then in power removed him to the To- kahama customs. Later he took to pol itics and identified himself with the lib- erals. who overran the country with stirring speeches, much to the discom- fort of the government. He was twice arrested and imprisoned for political offenses. Now he is the leader of the liberals, or Jiyuto. as they are called in Japan.

Bulgaria has got a new prime mlnIs- ter in the person of Gen. R. Petroff. Although barely 70 he has been three times minister of war. and, indeed, held that portfolio at the early age of 26. Two years previously he was selected by Prince Alexander of Bulgaria to act as chief of stan during the war. and the success of that campaign was largely due to his initiation. Gen Petroff owes his staff training to Russia, for he spent three years at the Superior military academy in St. Petersburg and he pass- ed the difficult staff examination with distinction As minister of the interior during the recent elections, Gen Petroff studious,y refrained from any govern ment interference. The various fac tions were free to break each others heads and 1t SO willed. but no bayonets kept voters back from the polls. The elections thus for the first time were absolutely free. and this presages a new era for the new prlncipality.
