To Improve The Race.

Charles Denison, A. M., NJ. D., of Denver Colorado, expert in the study of heredity, delver into the causes oi tuberculosis, and general around phy- sical scientist, has a plan to perfect the human race. He offers the fol- lowing six rules as a positive cure for a national weakness and the founda- ton for strong and powerful race of men:
 Kill the weak"
 Build up the strong"
 Regulate marriage according to hygiene"
 Abolish the self supporting woman"
 Blot out the unfortunate demands of caste"
 There is little doubt as to these rules building a stronger and hardier race of men; that they will in time Gf the entire population is not killed off make of the Americans the sturdiest men on earth; and that when we go to war, in all hand to hand conflicts we will be able to make other men look like a sick man in the ring with Jeffries.

Autograph Stone Find.

For some months past The Citizen has known of the discovery of large deposit of what was believed to be Autograph stone, located in Valencia county, within easy reach of this city by rail, but has refrained from mak- ing the discovery known until exhaust i've tests should have demonstrated the value of the find. These tests have now been completed and prove the stone, in color and texture, to be of very high grade. The analysis shows it to be practically identical with the Bavarian article which now furnishes almost the worlds supply, and tests of both transferring and en- graving are entirely satisfactory.
 Six hundred and forty acres of this stone have been located by a com pany of which John NJ. Gum, of La guna, is acting president; Major Geo. H. Pradt, of the same place, acting secretary, and J. H. Drury, of this city, at present manager, and a per manent camp will be located and reg ular development will commence within few days.-Albuguerque Citizen.

THAT DIAMOND rlEDAL.
The Shoot Was a FIuke and rlc-
 Donald Will Get the Medal.

The shoot for the Bluerock Individ.. ual Diamond medal, which was to have taken place last Sunday, failed to materialize. on account of the mem bers of the Jerome gun club insisting that they all had right to enter the contest against D. D. Mcdonald, who had challenged W. c. Miller for the medal.
 The following are the facts in the case: About the 18th of July D. D.. Mcdonald formally challenged W. C.. Miller to shoot for the championship of the territory at blue rocks, and for the Individual Diamond Medal, held by Miller. Miller accepted the chal- lenge as he was compelled to do-and set the date for the 18th of August; and the place, the Jerome grounds. The required forfeit of S25 was posted by Mcdonald, with Peter Gordon, of the New York store.
 Two weeks later Miller informed Mcdonald that he might want to go to California before the shoot, and re- quested that the shoot be postponed for a week. The request was granted, as one sportsman generally does what is fair by another.
 Miller wrote from Los Angeles, set ting the date of the shoot, Sunday, August 25th, which was last Sunday. On the date named, Mcdonald was in Jerome, ready and anxious for the fray. When the time came to shoot for the medal Miller had a squad composed of Tom Campbell, L. A. Hawkins, Andy Knoblock, O. w. Strodthof and himself to enter the contest. Mcdonald entered formal protest against anyone but Miller shooting for the medal. and refused to shoot against the balance of the gang. Miller positively refused to shoot him alone, and he sat down and told them to blaze way. They blazed and Campbell made the best score. The medal was turned over to him then and there. Mcdonald offered to bet $500 or any part of it that the proceedings were illegal and that he would get the medal through default.
 The matter was referred to J. NJ. Aitken, president of the Territorial Sportsmen' association and w. l.. Pinney, secretaryof that body, by Me donald, who made a formal demand for the medal. He has receiveda a com munication from them in which they say he was dead right in his proceed ings. The deal was the worst we have ever heard of being tried by sportsmen, and will rebound to the discredit of the Jerome Gun club. The association medals are shot for once a year, at regular tournament, by all who desire to enter, after which the live bird and blue rock medals are open to challenge upon condi tions fixed by the association.
 If the decision of Aitken and Pin ney is appealed from, the matter will go before the meeting of the associa ton next November, at which time Mcdonald will undoubtedly be de- clared the proper holder of the medal.

Vital statistics tell the story. The average life of the man in the stoke hole, the rolling mill, the blast furnace, the glass factory, is far below the average life of the open air worker.

Literary and Musical.

Mrs. J. L. Munds gave very pleas. ant entertainment yesterday after noon in the shape of reception to Miss Sharlot Hall, the well known newspaper and magazine writer who has recently been specially engaged to write for The Land of Sunshine Miss Hall has resided in the vicinity of Prescott all of her life and has achieved quite an enviable reputation as writer both of prose and poetry The plots of both her stories and her poems are laid in the west, largely in Arizona, and will form a valuable contribution to the literature of this territory.
 While yesterdays function was somewhat in the nature of reception to Miss Hall, it also assumed the character of a literary and musical entertainment as a very interesting programme was carried out. One of the features of this was the naming of pictures which had previously been arranged on the walls as a sort of art gallery, for identification. These pic lures were those of prominent men and reproductions ofprominent paint ings and the party giving the correct names to the greatest number was awarded prize. Mrs. Geo. Wooster captured the first prize in this con test.
 Another feature was the playing of two or three bars of music, of each of a number of familiar musical selec- tions, the guests to give the name of each piece and the name of the author of it. These were played by Miss Edith Snyder, daughter of Mrs John H. Hise, and the prize, volume of collections of old familiar songs, was won by Mrs J. c. Herndon.
 Miss Hall also read a few lines from each of a number of poems, and the guests were required to identify the poem from which it was taken, give its name and the name of it's author. Miss Edith Snyder secured first prize for this and Mrs. J. J. Fisher second.
 IHe pIOSTdIllIlle was lnteTSperSeu with musical selections, Miss Edith Snyder and Mrs. R. NJ. Fletcher, each an instrumental solo on the piano and Mrs Helen Heap favoring those present with vocal solo.
 Miss Hall read one of her poems "The Trail of Death," also one of her stories published in Every body's Magazine entitled "The Price of Star," and gave ten questions the early days of Prescott and the territory for the guests to an swer. During the rendering of the elegant punch, of the kind, ofcourse, was served and at the close refreshments were served.
 Little programmes used as sou Venirs of the occasion, as well as for the use of the guests in writing their answers to exercises were quite unique .he front page of the cover being adorned with a photo of Miss Hall md the last page with a photo of Orchard Ranch on Lynx creek, the nome of Miss Hall.

A TISSUE OF FALSEH00DS
Woven Together In An Article Which is Libel on Arizona and Its Citizens.
 4 Woman Its Author.

A friend of Arizona who chanced tc pick up a copy of an eastern paper, in Colorado, which had copied that famous article about Arizona from the Washington Post, written by some woman, has forwarded the paper to the Journal Miner with this comment
 "Ye Gods; and this about Prescott where the Southern Pacific Limited could offer consolation to the fren- zied citizens of that old town. The writer of this must have been smoking bad brand and she surely could never have had drinkof Bob Brow Best to thus traduce the fair weather reputation of Prescott"
 The portion of the article referred to, and which is a sample of the en- tire screed, so far as truth is concern ed, is as follows:
 "Fires in this intense heat ire quently result from spontaneous com bustion. The perfect dryness of every object, the dread scarcity of water in the summer months, and the meagre conveniences of the fire de. partments have many times made a small conhagration fatal in an entire town. An example of these horrors was given last summer, when the town of Prescott was swept from the face of the earth in few hours.
 "When the Southern Pacific limited passed through there late one after noon, hundreds of the inhabitants in the burned city were lined up on either side of the track, which is partly sheltered by a small bluff. Men, women and children were half frenzied or completely exhausted from the combined fires of Old Sol and an earthly furnace, the loss of parents and children, and physical in juries acquired in their efforts to es- cape or rescue from the terrible flames. South of this mass of suffer ing, maddened people, a heavy cloud of flesh-smelling smoke told where a few hours before had been a progress sive little city. Chemical engines seem absolutely useless to combat this heat, which needs but one spark apparently to ignite the very air. Ex- perience has taught these determined, enduring men of the southwest that the only way fire can be fought dur ing the hot season is with most pow erful explosives. A heroic measure, but a successful one. The moment a blaze is discovered that entire block or perhaps several of them, are blown to atoms, giving the residents but time to escape with their lives"

 Accept no substitute for Golden Med ical Discovery" The main motive of substitution is to enable the dealer to make the little more profit paid him by the sale of less meritorious preparations.
 Sick people, especially those suffering from diseases which have become chronic, are invited to consult Doctor Pierce, by letter, free. All correspond ence is held as strictly private and Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
 This invitation, to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free, Is not to be confounded with the spurious offers of vfree medical advice" made by those who having no medical knowledge or experience, are not qualified either professionally or legally to give medical advice.
 Dr. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In- stitute, Buffalo, N Y., assisted by his medical staff of nearly a score of phy- sicians, has in little over thirty years, treated and cured hundreds of thousands of sick men and women.
 The success of Dr. Pierce's methods and medicines may be inferred from the fact that of the hundreds of thousands who have consulted him 98 per cent have been perfectly and permanently cured.
 There is no similar offer of free con- sultation by letter which has behind it an institution of such world wide reputa- ton as the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Inststute, Buffalo, N. Y with its staff of nearly a score of physicians and its great record of cures.

HARD WORK.
It Tests the Quality of Both
 Blood and Muscle.

There are grades even in hard work The actual labor may not be greater in one case than in another, but the con- ditions under which the work is done intensity the strain upon the entire body. To work in the harvest field, under hot sun, is, after all, healthful occupation. To work in a stoke hole, deep in the bowels of an ocean liner, or under ground in some basement, imposes far more strain and produces greater exhaus- ton than the hardest work in the field on the hottest of July days.

Burnett's 0fense.

Sheriff Stout this morning returned from San Bernardino, where he went to take into custody W. A. Burnett, wanted in Phoenix for obtaining money under false pretenses. Al though armed with requisition papers Burnett waived his demand for same and said he would gladly return to Phenix. The story of Burnett's crime has been printed several times, but never have the facts been cor rectly given out. The impression has been that Burnett is a forger, but such is not the case. When in Phe- nix he lived at the Commercial hotel and managed to run up a bill for room and borrowed money of about SIP. On the Saturday evening before he disappeared he drew a check on the Phenix National bank for S20 and cashed the same with MT. Luhrs, re- ceiving the S8 difference in cash. In quiry at the bank brought out the in- formation that the check was worth less. He was later apprehended in Redlands, California, arrested and taken to the county seat at San Der to be held pending Sheriff Stout's arrival. This morning he was taken before Justice Burnett for ar and his hearing set for 4:3O today-Enterprise.

JUNGLE TOMS CABIN"

Uncle Toms Cabin" was gwen to the
public at a time when al civilized hu.
manity were hesitating between their
prejudices and their established modes
o, thought and the growing conviction
felt in their innermost hearts that slavery
was all wrong. One result was the testi.
mony OF many colored persons and fug.
tive slaves who said to Mrs Stowe,
"Sinoe that book has come out every.
body is good to US" ave find friends
everywhere" "It's wonderful how kind
everybody is"
In England many demonstrations
were uade by anti slavery societies. and
many addresses were presented the
author, and even when the civil war was
inaugurated the workingmen OF Epgla
did not lend themselves 10 any popular
movement which would 70 to crush the
oppressed in America, although this wal
brought hardships to their very door.
Among the noble ladies of England
the book had many fervent admirers. Il
is significant fact that the Queen o1
England, 10 concurrence with Prince
Albert. steadily resisted every attemp
to enlist the war.like power Of England
against the northern states. In fact, the
appearance of this work developed the
latent sentiment against slavery. and
was potent factor in enlisting men in
the ranks of those actively engaged in
suppressing it.
