EXPLORING ARIZONA RUM.
Work was begun on Saturday, wha'
from an archaeological point OF view, Ii
one OF the most important and interest
ing undertakings OF late years. Situa
ted four miles east OF Phoenix, Ariz) )na,
are the ruins of what was once, doubt.
lei 8, q great prehistoric settlement. One
immense pile, shout rs feet high and
100 feet wide, by 200 feet long, is eur.
rouoded by lesser mounds, which ex-
tend for half mile Dorthward and fade
away In the river towsId the south.
S)me of these smaller heaps have been
explored by relic seekers, and an i'm.
meose quantity of ancient pottery, sto ne
tools aod cooking utensils has been
taken from them, while In several In
stances skeletons have been unearthed.
Evidently the walls 10 these ruined
be tps were all of sdobs, a build
Jog material still extensively used
and the decay aud westhering Of
bundrt ds and perhaps thousands
of years have piled the debris
around the lower walls, which ere still ]
intsc'. The walls, which were peifsc' ,
pro- ected by the fallen adobe, are from
twelve TO eighteen inches in thichness,
and the great piles OF debris would In
iicate original buildings OF thirty TO
sevenIy-five feet in height, while the
largest pile must have been OF much
greater proportions. Authorities who
ave examined the ruins believe them
% bsvs been built by the Az'ecs, D
Deeuls thought to have come up from
Peru. across the Istbmus OF Panama,
anl from whom the Zlni and Hopi
Idisns of northern Ariz ma are
thought to have dece eoded. The ruins,
20 t6ey lie, help corroborate the theory
that the original buildings were of
style of archil ecture still employed by
the u Iuis and Hopis, great houses BULL
iu terraces, which are reached by way
of ladders.
The ruins east OF Phoenix are by far
the largest OF any OF the many traces oi
prehistoric settlements found In the
Salt river valley, and 1t is believed the
city once reached farther south, until q
large part OF it was washed away py
the foods from the mountains, or COW
cred by the deposits from the f'ods OF
ages past.
Work was first begun on the largest
ruin, thought to have been a temple.
Toe walls OF that structure will be con
verted into museum, to diplay the
curios uuesrthed. There has, hereto
fore, been little digging in that pile, as
it was protected by the Arizona Anti
quarian Society, but at various times q
few valuable relics have been rn'
earthed. The society is lsboring on q
pre- set to establish a park amid the
ruins, and to get governmental cid IN
preserving the other ruins In the south
w'ss.

portunity soon came for the curious
bird to inspect it more closely. Like
a fash the huge bill closed on it, a
wrench and the gobble followed and
the ostrich was outside of the valu-
able gem.

VAGRANT WITH A HISTORY.
John A. King, Artist, Is Aided by Mer-
chantvil1e, New Jersey,
Police.

With letters from the Vanderbilts,
the Astors and other prominent New
Workers in his possession, John A.
King, an artist, was taken from the
street by the police at Merchantville,
N. j., the other day as common
vagrant, old and helpless. They
found out in the police station that
though King is a vagrant, he is far
from an ordinary one. He produced
the letters and talked as man of
the world who had known polite So
ciety. The letters showed that he
had received commissions in art
from the writer's, and of those pos
sessions the old man was very proud.
Though wan and nearly blind it
was evident that the artist was a
powerful man in his prime, for
traces of his former self were still
apparent. He won the sympathy of
the police when he told what he had
been, and enough money was collect
ed to take him to Jersey City, where,
he said, he had friends. He had been
on the road for weeks, he said, and
because he was unable to move about
much he suffered greatly from
hunger and exposure.

CHICAGO POSTAL RECEIPTS.
At Present Rapid Rate of Increase
They Will Soon Exceed Those
of New York City.

Chicago's postal receipts are still
increasing, and at the rate main
tained for the last few months that
city will soon outrank New York.
The receipts at Chicago for April
were $7OS, 100, as against $572, ,769 for
April, 1900, an increase of $136,021, or
20 per cent. The receipts at New
York were $912,446, as against SSO1,-
GOA for the same period last year, be-
ing an increase of only $110,s42, or
1873 per cent.
OF the so largest post Offices in the
United States only one, Denver, Col,
showed greater percentage of gain
than Chicago. At Denver the per-
centage of Increase was 33 per cent.
The total receipts at these offices
for the month was S4,366,O O78, as
against $3,S11.677 for last year, a net
increase of S563,719, or 1875 per cent.

AMERICAN COAL FOR FRANCE
A Big Scheme to Supply That Country
with Fuel Is Now Under
Way.

The Paris correspondent of the
London Daily Mail ascribes to Nell
vaine, member of the Hardware club,
of New York, the statement that 60
American iron and coal dealers are
interested in scheme with a capital
of $5O,OO0,O0o or $60,ooO,o0O to supply
all the districts of France, except in
the north, with American coal. He
admitted that American coal could not
compete with British in the north Of
France. It was intended to make
Pauillac port, and engineers are now
engaged in sounding to ascertain
whether the channel will admit yes
sells of from 10000 to $4,000 tons bur-
den, which will be built in France and
ply between Baltimore and Pauillac,
making the voyage in IA days.
Freightage is the chief obstacle. It
now costs IA shillings ton from Balti-
more to Marseilles, but it is hoped to
reduce it by half by taking back to the
United States iron ore from Spanish
ports. This could be disposed of in
Pittsburgh and elsewhere at hand
some profit. McIlvaine is said to have
declared that he could book orders for
100000 tons of American coal now, but
the freight rates were prohibitive.
That would be remedied before long,
and a big trade would be ablished
within three years.

WOMAN RACES AGAINST TIME
Charters a Special Train to Catch a
Steamer at San Fran
cisco.

Miss Margaret Windeyer, of Sydney,
Australia, had an expensive race to
catch the steamer Sierra, which sailed
the other morning for the antipodes.
Miss Windeyer was coming across the
continent to take this steamer, and
late in the afternoon of the day before
the steamer sailed she learned that
the train would not reach San Fran
cisco until three hours after the boat
had sailed.
She was determined to get the boat.
She had to reach Sydney by certain
date or lose much money, because of
some legal contract. "Get me a spe-
cial train," she told the conductor. A
locomotive and one car brought her
to San Francisco from Wadsworth,
just three minutes before the Sierra
was to move from the wharf.
One of Traffic Manager McCormick's s
young men was waiting with a car
riage, into which he hurried the young
woman, and the hack was furiously
driven to the wharf. The hackman
obtained five dollars for his skill

COLLECTS PROFITS WITH GUN.
h. Brokers to Pay Profits In
Corn Deal.

William Bradburn, a Chicagoan,
created intense excitement in the busi-
ness district at Pittsburgh, Pa, the
other morning by his novel method of
collecting bucketshop profits at the
muzzle of a loaded shotgun. Brad
burn is brother of James Bradburn,
of Chicago, former chief cattle buyer
for Armour & Co., and is visiting his old
home. For some days he has been
dealing in July corn on margins with
A. B. Baxter & Co., bucket shop own
ers. The other day he closed his trades
at a branch house, where he was deal
ing, but could not get his profits, which
amounted to $500, and was referred to
the main Office in the heart of the bust
ness district, where responsibility for
the branch's debts was promptly dis
claimed.
The next morning Bradburn bought
double-barreled shotgun, put in two
shells loaded with blue whistlers and
entered the bucket shop. Pulling the
gun down on Baxter and his partner,
Vensel, Bradburn demanded his mon
ey. While customers piled out through
doors and windows, the $500 was
counted down, and Bradb burn pocketed
it as a patrol wagon, with 12 police
men in it, dashed up. The patrol wag-
on was summoned by frightened Gus
toner.

Duca1 Party to Make Trip to New

New York will, after all, have the

followed.

al couple spend several days in New
York city, making a trip to Washing
ton to pay their respects to the presi-

brought to a somewhat prema ture
close, since most of the fashionable
set will undoubtedly wish to be in

HOPES TO FIND POLE.
Explorer Baldwin Confident Of Sue

Thinks He Has the Best Ship Ever

Expects to Find Grass and
Flowers at the Pole.

Evelyn B. Baldwin, the American ex-
plorer, who hopes to plant the Stars
and Stripes at the north pole this sum
mer, has just sailed from London for
the United States. He will return to
England in four weeks and set out on
his expedition from Dundee about
June IL. He has been flying around
Holland, Norway and Scotland during
the past fortnight, putting the final
touches to what he considers the most
careful and complete preparations
that have ever been made cor an arctic
venture. He said to the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald correspondent:
My ship America has been thor
oughly overhauled and perfectly
equipped. She fills me with pride. She
is unquestionably the best vessel ever
fitted out for the north pole. Nansen's
Fran was built to drift with the ice.
She had no power to contend against it..
The America has excellent engines,
and is specially designed 20 resist the
movement of the ice foes. am conf
dent that she will carry my 40 compan-
ions within reaching distance of the
pole.
Il am taking along with me by far
the largest number of dogs ever trans
ported to the polar region. 1 am also
shipping with me small herd of tough
Siberian ponies-not mules, as has
been reported, but ponies bred and
reared amid rigid conditions of cli-
mate. These animals will be an aid to
polar exploration, I believe, and / ex-
pect great results from the expert
ment.
my expedition is equipped for a
three-years' cruise, but expect to re-.
turn not later than 27 months after<T
leave. [ believe we shall discover land
near the pole. If we reach our destina-
tion in summer, think we shall find
grass growing, flowers blooming and

WOMAN HEIR TO MILLIONS.
Street Car Conductors Wife Expects
to Inherit a Great For.
tune

Mrs. Tookham Basinajian, of West
Hoboken, N. j., wife of a conductor
on the North Hudson Street railway,
is said by firm of lawyers to be
heiress to $2,5oo,ooo left by Manarage
Oghley Manollel, an uncle of her fa-
ther, who died in Calcutta so years
ago. Manollel's wife, according to
the lawyers, stipulated that his es-
tate should not be distributed until
SO years after his death. The time
was up two months ago. The will
said the fortune should go to the
next of kin. Mrs. Basinaiian is said
to be the nearest blood relation.
In support of her claim letters
from relatives who lived in Philip
polls, Bulgaria, and from the United
States consul at Calcutta, so the law
yers say, declare she is all she as
serts. The lawyers refuse to tell her
address, on the ground that she
would be besieged with requests for
money. She has no children. Her
husband still continues at his work
He and his wife came from Calcutta
more than 20 years ago.

NEGRO GIRL EVANGELIST.
Feels Called of God to DO Revivsa
Work Among White People a.
She Has Among Colored.

Isabella Horton, the 15-year-old
colored evangelist whom many coll
ored people of Brooklyn believe TO
De inspired, and who has been Great
ing much religious excitement at
New York, feels that she has been
oaied to do similar work among
the white people of Brooklyn, and
her mother has secured the Academy
OF Music, in Montague street, where
she will hold services for the benfit
of the white people. She will have to
assist her several of the most en-
thusiastic colored people. who have
been helping her at the colored
churches. Mrs. Horton is good
singer herself.
The fact that the academy will ac-
commodate 1000 or 5000 people
seems not to embarrass the mother
in the least, as she feels that Bella"
although but child, is fully able to
make herself heard in all parts of the
big building. At one of the big
meetings held by the girl evangelist
down in Bridge street two fashion,
ably-dressed white women, wearing
picture hats, and, it is said, bedecked
with jewelry, were present, and when
the girl made an appeal to the sim
ners to come forward to be prayed
for these two women went forward
and knelt among the colored men
and women and asked to be prayed
for.
1t is said that this was the girls
first intimation that she was inspired
to call the whites, as we'll as the,
blacks, to repentance.
She says she has converted over
1000 people, both white and colored.
