New Palace Hotel.

Messrs. Brow. Belcher X Smith to- day opened up their new and elegant hotel over the Palace saloon. 4 Journal Miner man was shown through this place and it is undoubt- edly one of the most convenient and and handsomely furnished houses in the city. No expense or pains have been spared to make it first class in every respect.
 There are about twenty separate rooms in all, but they are so arranged that tLey may be thrown into suites of from two to four rooms. The fur niture is all of solid oak of the hand somest designs, while the beds are all iron of beautiful patterns. In fact each room in the house might be called a parlor.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

During the next session of congress it is more than likely that an effort will be made to secure legislation looking toward the adoption of the postal savings bank system in the United States.
 The arguments which the friends of this proposed measure make in its behalf are worthy of consideration. In the first place, it is claimed that the system will inspire confidence on the part of small depositors, since it will have back of it the resources of the federal government, and that on account of the absolute security which it offers it will prove an incentive to thrift. In the second place it is claimed that the system can be main- tained without anyvery great expense to the government, since it is only necessary to provide for all extension in each postofice.-Ex.
 Postal savings banks would be good institutions for the government and for the masses of the people.

FAKE ADVERTISING.

Commenting on the action of the Omaha Commercial club in turning down an advertising scheme being worked in that city by outside par ties the Omaha Bee says:
 ''The persuasive advertising fakir is always abroad in the land. He is smooth talker and is usually able to convince the average business man that by the distribution of a few thousand booklets or special edition of some trade paper, he can greatly benefit the merchants business. He secures a good contract, gets out his paper, and then goes to new fields.
 "The value of such advertising is always questionable. It takes money out of the city, and the results cannot be traced. Sometimes it may pay but as usual rule it is utterly worth less"
 Merchants III varions sections of the east are combining to do no ad- vertising except in legitimate way in newspapers. There are business men in Arizona who do not spend one dollar a year in advertising in their local newspapers, but who patronage every Jim Crow faking scheme that that is presented by an outsider tenn porarily visiting the town. The same amount of money spent in this way, if judiciously spent with the papers of the town would bring better re- turns and would also help to build up the local papers.

R. I. HarreII's. s.0eath.

The Bisbee Review gives the fol lowing particulars of the death of R. T. Harrell, brother of w. O. Harrell: ''R. T. Harrell, a miner who has been at work in the Holbrook mine, died Friday night at II o'clock from heart disease. Harrell went to work as usual about 6 o'clock and a ter going down in the mine he began to feel bad and told the shit boss he was not feeling right and would like to go home. About half past ten J. A. Gibson, who has rooms next to liar rell, heard groans and cries of pain coming from Harrell's room and went in to see what was the matter. Gib- son found Harrell in bed suffering very much and complained about not being able to get his breath and of severe pains about his heart. A tele- phone message was sent for doctor, and Dr. Hickman responded to the call. He found Harrell to be suffering from what seemed to be a paralyt stroke and did all he could to alleviate the sick mans sufferings. Harrell soon lapsed into unconsciousness and expired shortly after Dr. Hickman's arrival"

Samuel Hills Death.

Mrs. Samuel Hill received a tele- gram this afternoon announcing the death of her husband at Paso Robles at five minutes after noon today This announcement will be a great shock to his many friends in this com munity as the latest advices given out were to the effect that his health was improving with indications fair for his ultimate recovery. The an nouncement of his death came as a very great surprise to his wife as the most cheerful and encouraging let ters have been received from him, full of hope. The latest letter re- ceived from him came yesterday and in it he stated that he was feeling very much better and tone of cheer fulness and hope pervaded the epistle so that today's telegram, announcing his death, coming so soon after the receipt of this letter, was very sad surprise.

Remember This.

The Chicago postmaster sends to the Inter-Ocean a little information in regard to mail matters, which it may be to your interest to remember. He writes:
 First class or letter postage, two cents an ounce in the domestic mails under the regulations is collected on printed matter (third class one cent each two ounces) when such matter. in addition to the address and return card bears written endorsements in- dicating the character of the contents such as photo" printed matter, calendar" etc. A great many people are under the impression that they are helping the postotfice by wri ing such endorsements on packages con taining third class matter, but they are in error in so thinking, as the ad- dition of such endorsement is illegal, and subjects either the sender or ad- dressee to the trouble and annoyance involved in the payment of additional postage.
 AS the holiday season is close at hand and as an immense quantity of third class matter is mailed at this time, the publication of the facts in regard to the matter will undoubtedly have d beneficial effect. Persohs mailing third class matter should make no written endorsements what ever on the wrapper or envelope ex- cept that which strictly pertains to the return card and address.

 Mir. Mccoy says he was putting one of the handsome cards of the com pany comedian in the reserve seat of flee, when a young man looking as though he had just arrived from the rural districts approached him and wanted to know where he could meet this Gal who was Too Rich to Marry. MT. Mccoy grasped the situation in a second, told him that she would be in town soon, and to watch for the date.
 He remarked, you just bet I will ding my buttons, 1 just want to get a squint at the gal. Bet she don't be- long around these diggens. I will just spruce up a bit, and I miss my guess, if she looks any further, after shee sees me.

It is not very long before he finds himself weak and emaciated, stretched out in a chair knowing that he is wasting away day by day and hour by hour. 1t seems a long way from that chair to the gridiron and the diamond, great change from that dripping athlete in the boat house to this weak and wasted invalid.

THE END OF A GREAT FARCE.

The Schley inquiry court has sub mitted its report and thus ends one of the greatest farces that has been enacted in this country for a long time. The findings of this court are of no special significance, as there was in reality nothing to find, upon which to base any future official ac- tion. The court IS divided in its opinion, sAdmirals Benham and Ramsey returning one set of conclu- sions and Admiral Dewey another.
 The majority report condemns Ad- miral Schley on eleven points, while Admiral Dewey sustains him in most particulars. The majority opinion finds, in brief, that Admiral Schley should have proceeded with the ut most dispatch to Cienfuegos and

maintained close blockade; that he should have endeavored to obtain in- formation of the Spanish fleet there; that he should have proceeded to Santiago with dispatch; that he should not have made the retrograde movement; that he should have obeyed the departments orders; that he should have endeavored to capture the Spanish vessels in Santiago; that he did not do his utmost to destroy the Colon; that he caused the squad ron to lose distance in the loop of the Brooklyn; that he thereby caused the Texas to back; that he did injustice to HodgsOn; that his conduct in the campaign was characterized by vac illation, dilatoriness and lack of en- terprise; that his official reports on the coal supply were misleading and inaccurate; that his conduct during the battle was self possessed and that he encouraged in his own person his subordinate officers and men.
 Admiral Dewey in his report says that the passage to Cienfuegos was made with all dispatch, in view of his coal supply, and that the blockade of Cienfuegos was effective; that he al lowed Adula to enter Cienfucgos to get information, and that his passage to Santiago was with as much dis patch as possible, keeping his squad ron together; that the blockade of Santigao was effective, and, finally, hat he was the senior officer off San tiago, in absolute command, and en- titled to the credit due for the glori- ous victory which resulted in the total destruction of the Spanish ships.
 The public had made up its opinion long ago. The sunken fleet of Ad- miral Cervera was what it ''found" at the close of the battle and it found that Admiral Schley was ''in at the sinking" Whether his flagship went after the enemy in a straight line, in a semi-circle, or described loop in its movements was naught to them. The thing they were mostly interested in was the results, and they were highly satisfactory. That Admiral Schley was open to technical criticism in some of the minor details, there is no doubt, the principal one being his over solicitousness in regard to his coal supply. These however are in consequential, and Admiral Dewey's findings in its essential features are the findings of the great American public. The entire proceedings are not creditable to the country, and no man seems to know just how they came about. Sampson and Schley themselves did not seem to be re- sponsible for this controversy but it grew out of the action of their friends It is hoped that the Spanish fleet will be permitted to repose in the bottom of the sea now, and that the men who were responsible for sending it there may enjoy the full mead of praise and honor they are entitled to.

ABOUT MINING SWINDLES.

Arizona has been cursed with but few fake mining schemes, but the few which have been pulled off" have been sufficient to do incalculable dam age. The financial fasco of Safe Cure Warner was one of the most gigantic inflicted on the territory, the end of which has not been reached vet. The latest is the Vulture deal, which will do great harm to the territory. In both of these instances good prop- critics were selected, and the merit of the respective property did not enter into the transaction, nor did it con- tribute to the financial collapse of the companies. In the former instance the scheme was worked entirely in the east, and citizens of Arizona knew nothing of what was being done for a considerable time. The Journal Miner was the first paper to make an expose of Warmers methods and it was afterwards taken up by eastern papers and the Warner bubble was exploded. In the case of the Vulture Mining Company the manipulators succeeded in securing the endorse ment of this scheme from some of the papers of Arizona to assist them in working the eastern people, and from the expose recently published in eastern papers they worked their scheme successfully. Of course Ari- zona interests will suffer from this. despite the fact that those engaged in 1t were eastern people. Every swind- ling mining operation in which Ari- zona has been involved has been manipulated by eastern people, and our citizens have had no connection whatever with any of them. Of the scores of mining companies which have been organized every one so far has been conducted on honest lines and the stockholders so far as known are receiving honest and just treatment. The opportunities for in vestment in Arizona, where the in vestor will receive honest treatment. are abundant, without taking up with the bait thrown out by eastern stock iobbing sharks. The latter class of manipulators are luckily few and far between, and there are scores of strong financial eastern companies who are operating along honest lines in this territory and who are making successes of their enterprises. Some of them are practically close corpora tions, which are offering no stock for sale while others have stock for sale. The best guide to the honesty of a company is the personel of its officers and the reputation they have for honesty and integrity.

A poor complexion is usually the result of a torpid liver or irregular ac- ton of the bowels. Unless natures refuse is carried of it will surely cause impure blood.
