HE LIKES ARIZONA
The Impressions of a Ba|ti- more Newspaper Man
The Character of the Men and Women. Some Curious Customs. Opportunities for Sight Seeing, Enjoyment and Money Making.

MT. w. E. S.. newspaper man and proof reader on the Baltimore Sun who spent last winter in Phoenix and Tue son. has returned to Baltimore. In a two column article in the sun he con veys favorable impression. He de- scribes at first the route from Wash ington to the west at considerable length because the fact that 1t is the one that the presidential party Is travelling over gives it new interest in the east.
 Regarding Arizona. MT. s. says:
 Leaving Fl Paso We crossed and fol- lowed the Rio Grande. and then up through New Mexico and into Arizona. , arriving at Tucson the night of the fourth day. All day Sunday we trav- eled through the desert. the mountains at each side. An eastern man Is fooled on distance here. The air is so clear one can see nearly hundred miles. From Maricopa looking east one can see the headlight of locomotive twenty six miles off
 THE QUAINT OLD TOWN OF
 TUCSON.
 Tucson is a quaint old town. with about 5000 persons, half of them Mexi- cans. and number of Indians live in their wickiups out on the mesa. The old San Xavier mission is about nine miles from town. and there the Papago Indians are taught There is also an Indian school at the edge of the town. conducted by the Presbyterian church. The school system here is ex- cellent, and the university of Arizona has among it's faculty some of the ablest professors of the east. A S25, 900 Carnegie monument is nearing comple- tion. which will take the place of the present public library. To the north of Tucson are the santa Catalina moun- tains. 10000 feet high. to the east and south rise the Rincon. and to the west are the Tucson mountains. The Santa Catalinas look so close I thought I'd walk out t6 them, but the distance Is about fourteen miles. SO I changed my mind. There are many modern resi- dences and business blocks here but most of the houses are of adobe, and while their exterior is unlnviting, the interior of sorne of them is furnished in a manner which would surprise our friends back east.
 WASHING CLOTHES IN THE SAN
 TIA CRUZ.
 "The Santa Cruz river runs about a mile west of town, and along it's banks vegetable gardens and alfalfa fields are contrast to the unwatered plain

 A man drove me in from his farm this morning. He beat me because I did not go faster when was all out of breath. He called me "a blamed old fool" There he comes now He is drunk, and when he is drunk he smokes cigars and swears awfully. Most all men swear. but some of, them have enough self respect to let up little when ladies are around; but when they get alone with their horses they just turn themselves loose. That man is coming over here now to rub my nose and say silly things. That is the way with men. When they are sober they never think of me, but when they are drunk they play confidential and want to rub my nose. How would you like to be tied up here to post all day and have every drunken man in town come along and rub your nose? would much rather have them bring me a drink of water. I am hungry. too, but can wait to eat, for I know my master will get ready to go home sometime, and If he don't some kind lady will have an of- ficer put me in a stable and feed me. I am only horse and it does not matter when eat just so they take me to a stable before I offend society by starv- ing to death on the street.
 My, what chances see men throw away. I wish I was man. I would spend my time trying to learn things and do good. They say I haven't got any soul I wish I had one I would tr l,o 4. |.
 tai so could enjoy being blind. sense- less drunk part of the time, and be per- mitted to stick my nose in other peo- pleg' business the rest of the time
 l wonder why it is that nobody has soul except the wickedest kind of ani- mals, and those that ought to know enough to get along pretty we'll with out one. Now us poor horses. we don't want to do anything bad. and we don't have chance to if we did want to-. But We must die and that is the end of us. A man that does nothing an his life but stand around and lord 1t over all the women and children and all the other animals living, has all the bad habits he can think of, which is more than any other animal could think of, who actually studies up ways in which to spend his time and the money he has cheated honest people out of, is suppos- ed to repent after he can't find any thing more to do that is wicked, then die and go to heaven. Some people be- lieve in transmigration of souls and think that some men become horses when they die. That may be so, but am glad that horses do not become men at least some men. don't like to find fault, but do wish a way could be found to make men decent; don't you.
 Yours truly,
 A HORSE.

 say 1t ie folly to try to suppress 1t. The
 social evil Is licensed. as are the gamb | ling houses, and no Magdaens are al. lowed on the streets. A lady here is
 safer from insults on the street, night
 or day. than she is in Baltimore ol Washington. She is not ogled and nc
 remarks are passed on her appearance
 by half-grown boys. for swift and sure vengeance would be meted out to any.
 one attempting to do this.
 CHIvALRY OF THE MEN A DE- LIGHT.

Phoenix Is a modern city, With magnificent business blocks, broad streets, and with shade trees lining them. It is the center of the Salt River valley, and about 300.000 acres are un- der irrigation All around are the al- falfa fields and orchards. and a short distance from the city Is an ostrich farm" An Indian reservation is near here, and on Sunday I went out to the Indian school, which Is almost equal to that of Carlisle, Pa.

One of them, on being asked at what time of day a certain event occurred. cast his. eyes up toward the sun-or where 1t was ct the time of the occurrence-and this was interpret ed as 10 o'clock a. m. As long as an In- dian Is kept in school he Is all right: but as rule when lift to himself he is like a wild turkey; he prefers returning to his primitive state rather than to be housed up like his white brother.
 THE TERRITORIAL LEGISLATURE.
 "The capitol at Phoenix is a fine stone structure. and Senator Ives, who married a daughter of Thomas E Wag- gaman. of Washington, is president of the territorial council. or senate. I at- tended a session and heard bill intro- duced making cheating at cards felo- ny. The rest of the session was devot- ed to the national issue in thiG country irrigation.

 THE NEW CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL.
 "The Sunday evening after this took dinner among far different surround ings, but none the less interesting. The Catholics have built a fine new cathe- dral and the old one is now the San Agustin hotel. The interior of the old church Is turned into huge dining room. and where the altar boys once swung their censers and the priest per- formed his rites, We put our feet under the table. while the walters swung the dishes and recited the menu. Old fash toned iron candelabra, their sockets holding lighted but unblessed candles. gave to the scene a wierdness which made one think of things spiritual, but the dinner on the table was a pleasant reality, and as there had been many graces said before meat on the spot.

CHRISTENING WITH DOVES.

Since the christening" of ship is a purely sentimental performance, the more imposing the spectacle made of it the better. There is little that is impos- ing or spectacular about the usual GUS tom of breaking a bottle of wine against her bows. and. therefore. the plan adopted in the latest launch at Wilmington, of releasing a flock of white doves, is to be preferred. It is much more picturesque.-Ex.

gem in the way of service at rates,
81. 90 and 50. 80, or SO 90 with bath,
per day on the American plan, or
s 90 upwards, European plan.
The cuisine at this hotel is all
that could be asked, as everything
the market offords is found upon its
tables, appetizingly and whole
somely prepared, and the service is
enimently pleasing in every detail
good cheer, good humor and good
health go hand in hand. A cheerful
frame of mind is impossible unless
the proper conditions prevail.
And then, the other features of
the Palace which should not escape
attention are, perfect security from
fire ard ventilation which really
ventilates. Guests at the Palace
find no element lacking TO make life
away from home enjoyable. Service,
Smiles, Sanitation, Sunshine-the
brightest, busiest spot in town,
famous for good cheer. No rival

FIRE Ar HUNTINGTON.
The AdsIphl Motel and Several
Other Buildings Destroyed.

A destructive fire visited our sis
ter city of Huntington on Monday
of last week. The handsome Adel-
phi Hotel, (where tho fire origi-
lnated), was a total loss, together
with several adjoining buildings,
the entire loss amounting To $50 900.
At the time of the fire there was
no water in the reservoir and the
fire engines of the city were out of
repair. Proctorville, o., and Cat.
lettsburg, KY, dispatched fire en-
gines, but they soon broke down
and the flames continued in their
course of destruction, almost un-
hindered. 1t is thought the tir..
originated from an electric wire on
the fourth floor. The property
burned was partially insured
The fire may prove of benefit to
the city of Huntington in the long
run, as it will be calculated TO make
those in authority look after the
peoples interests more closely here
after and see that repairs are
promptly made on reservoir, as well
AS fire engines.

Church Insurance.

AT every quarterly conference the
question Is asked. sis our church
and parsonage property insured? ?"
and almost iii every case, especially
in the country, the answer is, no.
Now this is great mistake. Is
there not some way to bring a press
ure to bear upon the members of the
quarterly conference so as to induce
them to take action in this important
matter? Has the presiding elder
done his duty when he has asked the
question, and the preacher his. when
he has answered, "no?" Would it
not be well for the elder TO pause
for time and in a speech show
the necessity of taking action then
and there to carry out the provisions
of the discipline in this matter of
church insurance?
We suggest that that the question
be brought before the quarterly
conference in such a manner as to
require action on the subject and
thereby send the members of the
quarterly conference home TO take
action in securing the means by
which to insure. The question is
touched too lightly in quarterly
conference. Press 1t home for action.

goes iuto effect today relieves the
puplic of about $45, 100000 in an.
nual expenditure and dcprives the
government of similar amount
ot income.
Included among the articles on
which the tax has heen repealed
outright are bank checks, bills of
lading for export, bond of obliga-
tion by guarantee company, GER
tificates of damage, certificates of

Gov. Plerpont's Statue.

PiTTsBuRG, Pa, July s.-Frank-
lin Simmons and wife, of Rome,
Italy, were recent guests in the city,
visiting Mrs. William Henry Sivi-
ter. Mr.. Simmons is the famous
sculptor AMI he was here to model
the head of Mrs. Siviter's father,
the late Francis Harrison Pierpont,
for marble statue To be placed in
the Hall OF Fame in the capitol at
ashington, ID c. This statue
was ordered by the West Virginia
Legislature, at its last session, in
honor of the memory of the Father
of that State. In such cases il is
customary for the sculptor To do
the important preliminary work in
the presence of the family, where he
can be aided 10y photographs aud
other articles in their possession, in
order that he may thus be better
enabled, by their criticisms and
suggestions, TO secure more strik-
ing likeness than would otherwise
be possible. The statue will be
made in Rome, and it Will probably
require two years TO complete the
work.
