A DISTINGUISHED PARTY.
Prominent Capitalists of Chicago Will Shortly Visit Prescott En Route
 to California.

Prescott will shortly be visited by a very distinguished party of Chicago capitalists and our citizens should take the matter up of making their brief stay in Prescott as pleasant as possible so that a favorable impress ion of the town may be carried back with them to their homes.
 The party will be composed of members of the Chicago Commercial Club and they will travel by special train. They are en route to Cali fornia on a sort of flying trip and have decided to make a side trip to Phenix. Their train is composed of a composite car, a dining car, two Pullman coaches and two private cars, one of the latter being occupied by President Ripley of the Santa Fe road.
 Their itinerary calls for their reach ing Prescott at II o'clock a. m. nexi Thursday March ', and they will re- main here one hour, arriving at Phe- nix the same evening after visit to the Congress mine. They will remain in Phenix one day, leaving there the evening of March s, and will proceed to California over the Santa Fe, and after visiting various points in that state will return east via Union Pacific and Northwestern. There will be thirty-fi or forty in the party. F. M. Murphy is also expected to return to Prescott with it.

I have made a thorough canvass of the coun- try and have not allowed anyone to use my power to pull out anybody's hot chestnuts, nor asked anyone to write my letters. Richard P.

Accident Occurs Under Test at sandy Hook-Armv Officers Retissnt
 Regarding It.

A gun burst in test at the army proving grounds at Sandy Hook, N. J., September 12, but of the incident nothing has been disclosed by the ord nance officers stationed at that place or those on duty in the army ord nance office in Washington. There need not be 30 much mystery about the event. say other army officers, especially as the circumstance is in every way remarkable. Under ordi- nary conditions the destruction of 8 gun at the proving ground would be the subject of some kind of report. the gist of which would be divulged by the military authorities, but in the present instance nothing appears to be vouchsafed.
 The gun was c three-inch 15pound- CT field piece of the Briggs-Seabury pattern, fitted with Tompkins mechan- ism. It probably was being proof fired. A blank charge was used, when the gun burst beyond repair. It Is unusual, say ordance officers, for e gun to be injured under such circum- stances. If 6 projectile had been in the gun it might have been impossi- ble for gases to escape, but with 6 blank charge the gases have chance to emerge through the muzzle. For this reason the bursting of the gun perplexes the ordnance experts.
 The reports received in Washington are evidently of such a nafura as to warrant their contents being regard ed as confidential. It is suggested by some of the artillery officers that the powder used was of deteriorated char acter. such ss is discovered in army ammunition. If this be the case it is a serious matter, since it hints at greater disasters in actual firing of the guns. It is likely there will be an investigation into the incident.

4 PHYSICAL WONDER.
4 Man Who Has Not Eaten a Morsel of
 Food for Ten Years.

Police Commissioner Murphy, just appointed as head of the New York police department, is physical won der, in that for the last ten years he has not tasted food. He smokes with his friends, talks with his friends and is a pleasant companion generally; but when meal time comes he is com pelled to retire to a private room and pump specially prepared food into his stomach through silver tube insert ed below his oesophagus.
 Colonel Murphy's case has attracted the attention and excited the wonder of the medical world. In 1889, in the midst of an exciting political cam paign, he was attacked with acute in- digestion, which caused a structure of the oesophagus. He was unable to swallow anything. To prolong his life eminent physicians decided upon what they informed him might be a fatal experiment. They decided to cut into his throat and afterward re move his stomach. After this opera ton he was fed for fifty-nine days in an unnatural manner. After this the stomach had healed, but the patient was almost dead from hunger. He weighed, before the operation, 240 pounds, and after it 96 pounds. Today he is a fairly strong man.

cLEws ON OVER CAPITALIZATION.

In a recent circular issued by Henry Clews X O., contains the following pertinent remarks in reference to the inclination prevalent now for over capitalization in every industrial line;
 @The country has now had three successive years of extraordinary financial activity and change. Within that time, fully five milliards of con solidated industrial securities have been issued, in place of less than half that sum of issues made by the origi- nal independent corporations and and without any corresponding addi tion to the working plant of the coun- try. In other words, the leading na- tional industries have been over-capi- talized to the extent of more than double their original true valuation. In order therefore, for this class of investments to maintain their former rate of mari ct value, it will be neces- sary for the plants to make net earn ings equal to double their former profits as separate corporations. I venture no opinion on the question as to whether the consultations can or will do this. On that matter, it seems  to me, the true business attitude is to regard this great change as an experi ment in which nothing is to be taken for granted, but everything left to be determined by the ascertained results of experience. The question, there fore, arises whether, this very large proportion of our industrial wealth having been capitalized on such an extraordinary basis of imitation, it is prudent or safe to encourage further consultations, on like conditions, un- til the existing amalgamations have demonstrated their merits or demerits by the results of their operations. It is undeniable that these radical changes in the basis of our industries, together with similar movement in our railroad systems, are So affecting the principal of investment as to pro duce very uncertain feeling about the returns derivable from capital. That uncertainty cannot but have an unwholesome effect upon investment interests at large; and, in the long run, give no help to the maintenance of the extraordinary range of prices now prevailing on the stock market. The current boom reflects the opti mistic interpretation of this financial evolution; when the bulls" have the excitement, we may expect an in teresting exhibition of the bear side of the question.

R. H. Burmister 6 Sons G.

The opening of R. H. Burmister & Sons company's new store on Satur- day night was as successful an affair as could be wished for. From the throng that crowded the place from the opening hour, o'clock until its close at 10 o'clock it seemed that every resident of Prescott visited the mann moth institution and inspected its i'm mense stock of goods. To each lady that entered was given a blank tele- phone order book, as a souvenir oi the occasion. Enlivening strains of music were discomsed from an auto matie piano, while Chase & Sanborn' 's brand of coffee was served by three young ladies. This institution has already been mentioned in detail iD these columns but feature of i. which attracted special attention of visitors on Saturday evening was the artistic arrangement of the stock of goods, great pyramids of them reach ing almost to the ceiling. The artist who arranged these was Howard Bur mister, a member of the firm. Both basement and ground flour were packed full of goods and the display made would be a credit to a city ten times the size of Prescott. R. H. Burmister, the senior member of the firm, as well as both sons received the hearty congratulations of their friends on the occasion, with well wishes for their continued prosperity.

THE INDEPENDENCE BELL.
Said to Have Been Resurrected From Oblivion By the Present King
 Edward VII.

And now they are telling that when the Prince of Wales came to America in 1860, partly in joke and partly in irony, he was invited to visit Inde- pendence Hall to view the treasures which are the most forcible remind CTS of America's defiance to her moth CT country. The young Prince went there, took in the portraits of the men who stirred up the revolution; made complimentary remarks upon them, looked with interest on the manuscript of the Declaration Of Independence, and took in his hands the swords of the men who fought the armies of George III. Finally he came to a garret and was told that there was where the bell was rung when the declaration was read. Then he want ed to know what had become of the bell. They found it for him with the aid of their canes. It was hidden away DCnCdtA d lldoS Ol pCclllub cnClSs orange peels, waste paper and other debris. The Prince was shocked. For a moment he gazed at the poor cracked bell that had rung at the nations birth, and then he said: ''This old bell is the greatest relic this Republic has today. Instead of being here covered with this accumulated dirt it should occupy the chief place of honor in this hall of Independence. It is to you what the Magma Charta is to England. It is cracked, but it is an inspiration. Believe me, my friends, it affects me more than anything I have been shown"
 And then the bell was resurrected and given place of honor, and today it is the liberty bell of America and America's greatest relic. And it was he who has just been named Edward VII. that made it so.
