Delegate Mark Smith has intro duced a bill providing for supreme court for Arizona. New Mexico and Oklahoma. The court is to consist Of Cne member from each territory who shall reside at the capital of said ter ritory, and two sessions of the court shall be held in each territory each year. Each Judge shall have the same power in the chambers as is held now by associate justices of ter iitories. Mark evidently is not very sanguine about obtaining statehood as in case of admission as a state such law would be imperative.

Modern Fussiness About the Body.

One wonders sometimes, says a cor
tributor to the London Spectator,
whether the new fussiness aboSt the
body really tends to so much human
happiness as the old ignorance or
stolid resignation. It certainly In
creases greatly the objects of fear,
and every fear tends to impair the
serenity which is the base Of happi-
ness. 1t also helps to keep alive the
feeble, who are often in the way, and
who do not improve the race, and ii
very decidedly interferes with that
even flow of promotion" which is
ALMOST as necessary to society at large
as to the army or the civil service.
There is, too some diminution OF
courage, however slight, in facing
risks, and a great increase in that
habit of self-pity, which is apt, espe-
ciaIly with the frail, to enfeeble cI1G
acter. Upon the whole, however, ~
fancy the result is beneficial, especial
ly to those at the two ends fife.
Children are not only happier. fnt
positively better, for the new hearth
ness secured by science-an OPTION
which will be Endorsed, we believe,
by every manager of good prepare
tory school-and to the old the bene-
fit is indescribable. They will die as
of yore, though later; but they are
spared half the old aches and pains,
so that CHEEKY old age" instead OF
being noticeable, is the common and
expected condition.

connection with the cure. In this
lamp the inventor has substituted

it is stated to be exceptionally rich

the therapeutic properties Of the light
are increased tenfold. Consequently

Intent OF the Law.
The intent of the law, continues Mr.
Smith. IS clear from its terms. II
seeks to define boundaries and tc
! prescribe conditions which shall
limit the privilege to the kind of pub
! locations really designed to be in
Guided. First of all, it provides that
! to be entitled to the second-class
rate the publication must be ''origi
mated and published for the dissent
nation of information Of a public
character, or devoted to literature
| the sciences, or to some special IN
dustry." This test has never really
! been enforced, and its rigorous en-
forcement is not now undertaken, fol
| it raises questions which may be mat
tiers of opinion rather than of fact
It's strict application would, without
any other tests, manifestly rule ou'
thousands of existing publications
But there are other tests which pres
sent matters of fact. The possession
of the character thus defined is no
enough. The law further require
that the publication must have g;
legitimate list Of subscribers. Their
must be not only 8 public object, Blu
a real public call and approval, al

The most interesting item OF rail-

asked for, rendered and accepted.
Coming closely on the advent of
President Hays to power the Incl

narily presidents Of railroads don't
bother about depot agents, for as
usual thing these attaches are hired

by attaches below the salt. Mr..
Natili was we'll known in this CITY,

a practical railroad man cuts no

Maria assists hi'n to bed, and he
remarks mournfully that she will
find his will in his safe deposit box.
and that his insurance is paid up,
and he hopes she and the children
will try not to forget him, and then
he braces up and takes a little
whisky and thinks of forty things
he wants done for his comfort.
The ensuing days are full of
trouble and tribulation. Maria sits
by his bed and holds his hand, and
the cook and the housemaid are
kept on the jump from early morn
ing to late a, night preparing little
messes he thinks he could eat, if
they only tasted like they did when
he used to cook them while out
camping, and then about the time
the whole household is so worn out
they feel like they would be recon-
ciled to his demise, he gets we'll.

describing his symptoms to every
body who will listen to hlm.
A clever Washington woman once
said she always went to the inau-
gural balls to keep people from
describing them to her. The only
way to get even with a grip patient
is to have it yourself, and have
symptoms and remedies of your
own.

Nursing a Sick Man.

New Orleans Picayune.
Epidemics of grip are times that
try a woman's soul. This is not
because she may have it herself,
but because her husband may have
it. To have the grip yourself is
mere detail to nursing man
through an attack Of it.
Disease always takes woman by
surprise, no matter how much she
may have courted it. A man, never.
1t may be that having to pay life
insurance calls keeps his mind fixed
on death and calamity. Anyway,
in the midst of health he begins to
prepare to have the influenza. He
reads the remedies suggested by the
daily papers, and comes home at
night with his pocket bullying with
drugs. He talks it over with his
friends on the street cars, and in
his Office, and goes out and buys
something that did Smith good, and
stops On his way uptown to pur-
chase bottle of the specific that
Robinson recommended.
Above all, he is strong on pre-
ventives. He reads that you must
keep warm, and he smothers his
family IN fannels, and turns the
house into a sweat-box. He is told
you must keep your feet dry, and
he buys rubber overshoes that he
wears one day and leaves off the
next. Somebody informs him that
you must avoid drafts, and he be-
comes kind of old sleuth detec-
tive, pottering around trying to find
cracks that little air could get in.
He hears that some doctor he never
head Of before advise quinine, and
pills become the staple of his diet.
All signs fail in dry weather, and
all precautions are wasted in time
of grip, SO some day he comes
home, with chill chasing each other
up and down his spine, and every
bone aching with separate and
distinct kind of, torture. 'What is

The Cotton Corner In New York.

The Cotton Corner In New York
! New Orleans Picavune.
Speculation, in it's widest and
most objectionable phase, was man.
lfested in the January cotton corner
developed in New York yesterday.
Spot cotton in that market was ad-
vanced 1 5Sc. per pound to I2c.
and the January option was ad-
vanced ass points over the closing
quotation of Saturday. This re-
presents a loss Of $I2.5o per bale to
the unfortunate shorts, who were
compelled to buy back their con-
tracts at the highest price of the
day.
This sudden and sensational ad.
vance in cotton was not due to any
scarcity Of the general supply of
cotton--not bit of it-but simply
and solely to the fact that the un-
fortunate spectators sold cotton
for delivery in a market where there
was not sufficient stock with which
to meet their contracts. Although
there is more than hundred
thousand bales Of cotton in New
York, hot more than 6o,ooo bales.
if that much, is certifcated or off
cially accepted as suitable for
delivery on contracts. 1t was not
difficult matter for the managers
of the corner to secure control OF
all this stock of certifcated cotton,
SO that the unfortunate shorts were
unable to buy the cotton requisite
for meeting their obligations except
by purchasing it from the manipu-
lators at their own price.
The success of such corner
would no, be possible in any bona
fide cotton market in which a large
stock of spot cotton is carried.
New Orleans, for instance, not only
has a large stock always in ware
house, but is within easy reach of
other points from which hundreds
of thousands of bales could be Sc.
cured at short notice. 1t would,
therefore, not be possible to corner
the market here except late in the
summer after the entire crop has
been disposed of, and even then the
attempt has more frequently failed
than proved successful. A corner
such as that now existing in New
York really benefits nobody but a
few manipulators and the fortunate
few who were able to get a few
bales into New York before it was
too late

The Split Day.

Washington Post
"A correspondent, who is re-
former without crankiness, and who
expects the twentieth century will
surpass the nineteenth in great
achievements, asks The Post to
"say good word for the twenty
four-bour clock" 1t Is easy to com
ply with that request, but we see
little prospect of a worldwide agree
ment to do away with the split day
and adopt the natural day. With
out such agreement the change
would be scarcely advisable, for all
countries and all peoples have been
brough, SO close together that uni
formity in measuring and dividing
up and naming all parts of the
space that measures day and night
to mortal man is a matter of prime
Importance.
When the custom of splitting that
space in the middle originated we
do not know. 1t was prior to the
sand glass or the water clock or the
sun dial, and may have been close
up to that period when "God called
the light day, and the darkness He
called night: and the evening and
the morning were the frs day"
But there is nothing in the custom
except its universally to commend
it The natural day actually begins
and ends at mid night. The TWEEN
ty-four hour clock, if it could be
introduced and adopted everywhere,
would be a great improvement. 1t
would abolish all necessity for
writing or printing such words and
letters as noon, night, evening,
morning, a. M, p. m., midnight,
&c. All that the writer or speaker
would have to do to designate the
precise time of day of any past or
future event would be to name the
hour and minute. There could be
no possible confusion of morning
and evening, no danger of mlxup
of any kind. 1t would save fortunes
fA tfHtt, paper, PC, pCHS, dud INK.
But having said ga good word"
for that simple and beneficent
device, we are bound to add that
we have no hope of it's adoption
Owners of shares in clock and
watch factories need not apprehend
any loss through being compelled to
make the5 changes which the aboli
ton Of the split day would involve.
Like the metric system, phonetic
spelling, and many other good
things, we shall have to go without
the twenty -four-hour clock because
somewhere away back toward crea
tion's dawn somebody Numbered.
Our correspondent suggests that
Congress mi ght give the movement
lift by adopting the twenty-four-
hour clock in all the department
buildings. The Post doubts the
policy of calling on our law makers
to make the proposed change. AS
sistant Secretary Vanderlip could
testify to the unfriendly attitude Of
Congress toward experimentation
in clocks.
