Herrmann'S Entertainment.

Hermann the Great, as he adver- tises himself, Hermann the wizard would be more appropriate term, appeared at the opera house last even ing. He was greeted by full house and the audience manifested its ap- preciation of his skill in his line by frequent outbursts of applause. MIr. Hermann is certainly as clever d performer in his line as any man as ever appeared on an American stage. He has a decidedly French accent in his conversation and is the very personiiication of gracefulness in all of his actions. The feats he per forms are simply wonderful and have all the appearance of magic, though he does not lay claim to anything of the kind. In addition tC his pro gramme of mvstifying ac's. be has a very clever vaudeville c9G'9any con si5ting of five persons who give d very amusing and entertaining number. The impersonations by Mir McWat- ters of this company elicited the greatest applause.

Easy enough to answer that" replied old Hance with his merry hearty laugh, "Why, with the dirt I built the San Francisco mount aims"
 Returning to Williams, if you can spare the time, run up to Flagstaff for a day and you will be well repaid Here you can make your headquar- ters at the Weatherford, an excellent hotel with all modern improvements and drive out to the cliff dwellings, which are perched like swallows nests along the rugged sides of lonely Wal nut canyon. The cave dwellings, the natural ice cave and the painted desert, with the magnificent mirages are among the many attractions which should tempt one to make at least a brief stay in Flagstaff. One great advantage about the Grand Canyon trip is that it can be made at any season of the year, the fall being especially delightful. Among the Prescott people who have registered here the past month are: Rev. H. B. Long, Mrs. Block and Miss Block Rev. Peck's wife and party, Judge Baker and son, Mir. Charles C.

WELLIReIoN'S SPEECH.

The luther usefulness of Senator Wellington of Maryland, has been se- riously impaired. if not altogether de- stroyed, by an interview on the at tempted assassination of President Mckinley. It seems almost incon- ceivable that a man who has been as much in public life as the senator from Maryland should so far forget the proprieties as to say: Mckinley and I are enemies. I have nothing good to say about him and, under the circumstances, I do not care to say anything bad. I am indifferent to the whole matter"
 The utterance is sufficient to debar Wellington from the society of all broad minded, patriotic American citi- zens for the balance of his days. He has already been expelled from the Union League club of Baltimore, one of the staunchest republican orEani- zation in the country. Doors tat once were once opened wide at his approach are closed to him now, and properly so, for the speech he made has probably never been equaled in its execrable taste since the founda- tion of the government.
 It is of course idle to talk of ex- polling him from the senate. He has done nothing to disqualify him for membership in that body. A vote of censure coupled with ostracism at the hands of his colleagues, is the most that can be hoped for, and it Is prac- tically sure that this will be done. The people of Maryland may demand his resignation, but the man who is capable of saying what Wellington said would hardly pay any attention to such a request Gazette.

Styles fnr the Winter.

The easiest and simplest way we can suggest for our readers to get a good idea of the styles that will be popular this winter is to buy a copy of the October Delineator, just on sale at every news stand. The De lineator for October forshadows, by means of its New York, Paris and London connections, those tendencies of fashion which will certainly pre- vail.
 In addition to the fashion features and practical dressmaking advice that has made the Delineator famous, the October number is full of good general reading, most tastefully illus trated under the immediate direction of the well known artist, William Mar tin Johnson. Mir. Johnson's work is known to lovers of the beautiful by reason of the Garfield edition of Ben Hur. as well as some other books of large sale. Mir. Johnson believes in illustrations that illustrate. rather than in pictures that only ornament a page. The whole October number of the Delineator is full of interest tO men as well as to women.

Missing Link Found.

In the jungles of Southwestern Asia and the islands near by. which have long been known to science as the cradle of the human race, and which are still inhabited by the very lowest orders of human beings, the pithecanthropus lived with the ele- phant, tapir, rhinoceros, lion, hippo potamus, gigantic pangolin, hyena and other animals. were found around about him. It has been computed that this ancestor lived somewhere about the beginning of the last gla- cial epoch, some 270,000 years ago. In other words. about 1000 genera tions have been born and have died between him and ourselves. It will assist our understanding of what this relationship really means to know that nearly 25O- generations carry us back beyond the dawn of history. 5000 years ago.-McClure's Maga- zine.

Sam POwsII's Despair,

Wickenburg. Sep. l6. - Special correspondence)-Being in the pros porous little town of Wickenbrg at the place of business of Reed & Bref- fit, at which place they have a fine phonograph. with which they enter tain their patrons every evening and among the audience one evening, whom should I see but Sam Powell. He listened tO the music and heard two very fine selections, then turned on his heel in no very good mood and said, That machine has ruined my business. There, that good old song of mine called "A Brindle Steer is silenced forever in Wickenburg v Then Sam repaired to his des. and wrote a poem which runs as follows;
 Sam's Lament. I'll go to my tent and lie down in despair,
 The death of the Brindle Steer being so near.
 I'll weep for season, on bitterness fed
 For the Brindle Steers have gone to the hills of the dead. They died a little hungry and of In- gering decay,
 The songs of the phonograph have swept them away.

Three Thoughts of William Mckinley

Of all the accounts of the assault upon the president that have come from Buffalo, one of the most affect ing says that during the tremendous excitement immediately following the deed, the president was all the while perfectly conscious, with his eyes wide open. The first thing he did, after getting seated in a chair, was to look up into MT. Milburn's face and gasp, "Cortelyou?" When Secretary Cortelyou bent over hIm, he said: My wife, be careful about her. Don't let her know"
 A moment later the President turn ed and noticed his assailant lying on the floor, bleeding and helpless under the blows of the guards. The presi- dent raised his right hand, red with his own blood" and placed it upon the shoulder of the secretary. Let no one hurt him." he said, referring to the anarchist.
 Still engrossed with thought for others-from the tender wife down even to the miserable assassin.
 A few minutes later he was on his way in the ambulance to the hospital, Mir. Milburn and Mir. Cortelvou be- ing with him. He continued con scious and conversed with Mir. Mil burn and Mir. Cortelyou. T am sorry." he said, ito have been the cause of trouble to the exposition. $
 Three thoughts" continues this touching story of the tragedy. had found expression with the president; first, that the news should be kept from his wife; second, that the assas- sin should not be harmed. and third, that the tragedy might have hurt the exposition" ."
 One can easily believe the oft-re- peated declaration that the president never said an unkind thing of any body in all his life.
 So amiable a personality, strong in simplicity, cannot fail to make a per manent impress upon the national character.-Pittsburg Press.

Murder at Big Bug.

Word comes from Big Bug of the assassination there yesterday after noon of Bruce Profit. The assassin, it is said, laid in ambush for his vic tim. shooting him down while going to his work. Theball passed through his arm into his body and death en- sued in a few minutes. No clue to the assassin has been obtained, al- though the sheriff and deputies pro ceeded to the scene of the crime as soon as notice was received.
 Profit was about thirty years old and has a wife and two children in Redlands, California, who were noti- by telegraph of their bereavement.

It is now reported that the Chinese plenipotentiaries were such in name only, and that in dealing with them the powers were treating with men of straw. By and by the rest of the world will be convinced that when thing seems to be so, in China, it is likely to be nothing of the kind.
 As further justification of the ma Hcious cartoons and personal attacks on President Mckinley, the Courier this morning says: "The worst cari- catured man who ever figured in American politics cswas Horace Greeley, one of the best men America ever produced, and it was republican papers which did the caricaturing." We cannot at the moment recall from memory aAy president by the name of Greeley. The Journal-Miner's ref erence to malicious cartoons and sour rillous attacks applied solely to the occupants of the presidential chair.
 A Chicago man claims to have dis covered chemical combination which produces perpetual light. Seven cents worth of the stuff will furnish good light for as many months, or perhaps as many years. The discov- cry is of too recent origin to deter mine the exact length of time it will last, but he claims to have demon strated that it will last for months.
 Prescott was probably the only town of its size in the United States, which did not hold union me morial services on Thursday in memory of the nations martyred president. Services held in the opera house or court house would have been attended by citizens generally, and a great mistake has been made in not providing for such a meeting, where by an opportunity could have been given to all to attend.
 The safety of our country lies in the patriotism of its citizens. The recent death of the chief executive of the nation demonstrated Tn marked degree the loyalty and patriotic feel ings entertained by our citizens re- gardless of politics. No more sincere and heartfelt grief was felt over the terrible affliction than among the late presidents political opponents, a fact showing the respect and esteem in which he was held by all classes oi people.
 The New York Jonrnal, not so very long ago, said that President McKin- ley was "the most despised and hated creature in the hemisphere; his name is booted; his figure burned in efhgy.' No wonder such paper now grovel: and whines in its attempt to laud the virtues of the man it has maligned without rhyme or reason. Stricken perhaps. with self-conviction, thi; New York paper now seeks to shirl its responsibility. It is frightened al its own indirect work and the castiga tion it is now receiving aught to drive it and the other Hearst papers iron the homes of every self-respectine citizen of the United States.-Repub lican.

A woman makes her toilet with care and content. But in bad health 1t often happens that the qualification ot being well attired is lost. There is hardly strength to brush and dress the hair, and there is small courage to make the effort to keep up appearances.
