NEW SERIES OF CHECK
By Which Phoenix Business Men
 Were Bitten.

Another lot of small forgeries has just been brought 10 light. They were accomplished in an exceedingly crude manner but they succeeded and tho object of forgery as well as that of ev- erything else in this world is success The neatest forgery ever attempted in Phoenix was a failure. IL called out the admiration even of men who do not approve of forgery and admit that it is contrary to good morals. That particular forger was almost envied for his skill yet he failed and is doing time at Yuma.
 About the middle of last week a greer looking cowboy presented a check for S25.50 at the Boston store. He bought a good suit of clothes and q Stetsou hat. These purchases almost exhaust . ed the face of the check. but he went away happy and contented. This check appeared to have been signed by w H. Code of Mesa and was drawn on the Mesa City bank. It probably would not have been accepted if the Boston store people had known then what they found out later. that MT. Code had been in the east for more than a month. The man vino presented the check said that his name was Bert Carpenter.
 On the same day another young man, also cowboy looking. offered a check drawn on the Mesa City bank for S41.50 at the Capitol Harness shop. It had the name of \. C. Mcqueen attached. He received goods for about haIt the face of it and cash for the balance. While he was writing his name on the back of it his hand treInbled and his companion jolSingly asked him what was the matter with him. Il aint much Of a writer" he replied; the old mar. put me in the saddle too soon.'' This Dayee's name was Carl Foster Both cheeks were certainly prepared by the same man and his work was marvel ously bad The signatures O Messrs. Code and Mcqueen though they did not make them. were SO badly done that those gentlemen ought to be ashamed Of themselves and take a course in writing school. The gen niness Of Mir. McQueen's signature was in fact questioned by Mir. LechIer.

A GIANT cAcT11s GROVE.

This same cactus, by the way, is not one of the lesser curiosities surround ing the Phoenix. Among the numerous varieties none is so remarkable as the sahuaro, or giant cactus, which is pecu liar to the southwest and grows to the proportions of a great tree, attaining in some instances a height of sixty feet
 A forest of these prickly monsters is so unlike anything occurring at any other point of the globe as to be almost inde- scribable. Rising like great fluted col umns, the largest end pointing to the sky, with not bud or branch of any description, the effect is grotesque, but on a desert gratifying. Arriving in Phoenix from any direction, one leaves a mighty desert and is immediately en- yeloped in a wealth of verdure and flowers. He meets everywhere the flora peculiar to the tropics In private grounds and public parks the stately palm and the spreading canopy of the umbrella tree greet the eye, while the dropping, frond-like foliage of the pep per tree lends it's softness to the scene. Alongside these flourish the olive and the almond, the eucalyptus and the ole ander, all unconscious that they are performing something wonderful transforming recent desert into gar den of Eden.--Los Angeles Herald.

FOUR FIREMEN KILLED
Continued from First Page.)

Continued from First Page.) victims. The loss of life at the fire was one of the greatest that has taken place in New Haven for years.
 The cause of the fire is not known, but it must have had considerable headway before it was discovered. The first alarm was sounded about 1:15, fol- lowed in fifteen minutes by the second alarm, the number of the box being 523.
 Thousands flocked to the scene and the flames could be seen for miles around. About 1:45 o'clock the flames reached and consumed the engine room and caused something to explode mak- ing a cannon-like report, and causing the bystanders to scatter like sheep. The explosive is not known.
 The burned building was big three i've. The charred walls are all that re- main.
 The alarm was sent in by Patrolman Recor, but 1t was after an intellectual attempt to pull box 526 at the corner of Gregory street and Dixwell aveune. Patrolman Cooper went to ring this box, which Is nearer the fire, and by a mistake he got his police box key in the keyhole, instead of the regular fire box key, and in the meantime box 523 was rung, located at the corner of Ash nun and Webster streets.
 The ambulances, which arrived on the scene shortly after o'clock, took the dead bodies to the undertaking estab- lishment of Beecher & Bennett They were from the two hospitals, and two of the police ambulances were pressed into service.
 Up to o'clock no more bodies had been taken out of the wreckage, and 1t is not believed that any more people were killed.
 Captain Condren, one of the killed, leaves wife and two children, one of these, a daughter, being a pupil in the State Normal school in this city. He was brother-in-law of Sergeant Mo- Grath.
 William Riley was married about a year ago, and Hale leaves a wife and two children. They live at No. Os- born street Williams was to have been married within a month, it is said.

I in the course of which he had denounc-
 ed the burning of farms and the keep | ing oe Boer women and children in British laagers on reduced provisions.
 These charges created a general uproar and provoked an angry demand from
 MT. Briderick, secretary of state for war, that MT. Lloyd George should of- fer evidence to substantiate his asser- ton. MT. Churchill caught the eye of the speaker and caustically rebuked MT. Lloyd George.
 He then humorously, and half-seri- ousy belittled the efforts of the pro-
 Boer members of the house in behalf of 1 their friends. He mentioned that the war in South Africa had been carried on with unusual humanity and he clos ed with the declaration of his belief that at no distant time there would be
 a loyal, peaceful and prosperous Trans vaal"
 Sir Robert Reil, radical member for
 Dumfriesburgh, argued that all this
 could be accomplished without unnec-
 essary severity and without withhold 1 ing terms.
 MT. Chamberlain, springing to his l feet, stigmatized the speech of Sir Rob- ert Reid as devoted to abuse of Brit ish officers and the policy of ministers and to praise of the enemies ot Great Britain" He denied that peace with
 honor was at any time possible before or after the fall of Pretoria.
 "The policy of her majesty's govern
 ment," he declared. 'has not varied. Before the invasion of Natal we would
 have accepted the most moderate con-
 sessions, but from the moment the in vasion occurred and the Boers had fired
 the first shot the government determin- ed that not one shred of independence which the Boers had abused should
 ever again be conceded to them"
 The conservatives, cheering furiously,
 rose to their feet from the government
 benches at this outburst, and yelled for
 Chamberlain. Shortly after this the
 house adjourned Before MT. Dilloa's remarks the house was engaged in the
 discussion of the situation in China.

MASSAGE FOR APOPLEXY.

The medical profession recognizes to- day as it has never done before the re- markable aid of massage. It has done marvellous things for paralysis, even for apoplexy, at which doctors once looked on helplessly. Apoplexy is caused by a clot of blood on the brain, and if that clot can be broken up, if an emptying can be effected of clogged veins, recov- cry is in sight. Constant massage of the forehead and skull will do it (this has been proved over and over again. while paralyzed limbs by patient, con- stant kneading, can have new life rubbed into them.-Good Housekeeping
