A MODEL HOBO
Not the Picturesquely Clad but the
 Practical Kind.

Recorder Jobs was not feeling well
 yesterday and Justice J. M. Burnett
 presided for him at the usual afternoon
 assizes. It was his first appearance as
 city recorder and he was up agains.
 the genuine article for 1t is likely that
 of all the hobos that ever came over
 the pike there was never a more typi-
 cal or self-possessed specimen than
 was presented in the person of J. Daly.
 Daily knew the charge against him by
 intuition, or habit perhaps, and plead ed guilty before the complaint was
 read.
 The acting recorder, who is usually
 pretty good at asking questions, could
 not formulate them fast enough to keep Daily busy answering A few sample questions and answers are not ed. Are you hobo? Yes. How long :?
 About year. Do you drink? When
 I can get it. Do you not find that Ari-
 ona people are more liberal with their
 whiskey than with their grub? Haven't
 seen much of either since I came here
 about month ago. Do you think 60 days would be too severe a sentence? Would rather have six months, Judge. than another month like the last one in Arizona Which way did you intend to go from here? Oh, never calculate ahead any. Then if you were released
 and found yourself in Maricopa you would take the first train that came in would you? I suppose so. Have you
 arranged a regular itinerary" That was the question that got him. It was the only corner the court had
 run him into. but he did not propose to make any mistake, so he looked at the court as much as to say, What kind
 of thing is that" and waited for the question to be asked in more approved
 hobo English.
 But 1t was all settled when a thirty days sentence was announced and the defendant looked as though he had been disappointed at not getting three
 months at the least.
 Another case of unusual interest was that of Jones. colored gambler. He has been in Phoenix before and is well known to the officers as a Surething
 man and a monte dealer when there is anything doing in that line. In refer { ence to real work he proved an alibi very successfully. He was arrested by Officer Lawrence and had in his pos
 session bottle of whiskey with which [ he expected to keep warm in the next
 empty box car that left the city. When
 arrested he drank the whiskey at once ! for fear the officers would confiscate it. 1 He is d very fleshy man and said he : was troubled with heart disease. The court told him that he thought fifteen days on the chain gang would prove a panacea for the fatty degeneration ! which threatens his life and sentenced | him accordingly.

i incredibly short space or seventeen hours forty-three minutes and six and three-quarter seconds by a stop watch held in the reliable hands of Bath House John. There was not pebble in the performance. MT Krueger never for an instant gave the obstinate old COW a chance to get her breath until she consented to lie down peacefully and allow her legs to be tied together. The Chicago German-American speaking of that event the next day said: There was never before such an exhibition of human persistence in our midst. MT. Krueger had faith in his powers of endurance that would move a mountain. We believe he would have tied the old COW from La Sale if it had taken him all summer. The president of the Transvaal republic is a name sake of MT. Krueger. The Brit ish may appear to gain temporary ad- vantages, over the Boers, but in the end we believe the independence of the South African republics will be estab- lished. Mere force and numbers can not triumph over men who are deter mined to succeed" The views of the Chicago German-American were re- echoed the next day by the Chicago Journal-Herald, The Staats-Interocean, the News-Zeitung and the Record Volksblatt.
 The Tennessee record of Mir. Gun nigham is as brilliant though less exten- sively advertised. According to the Memphis ApppealAvalanche and the Memphis Scimitar, when he was a boy he acquired the record for lassoing posts and other quiet objects and it is said to have never been surpassed The contents of the county treasury are staked in this even against an equally large sum which will be brought here by Chicago capitalists.
 The coming athletic tournament is in the hands of Sheriff Stout and De- putty Sheriff Moeuer. The date of it has not yet been fixed. but it will take place between the holidays. It is the desire of the management to not break up any other meeting with the tourn- ament, so that some day on which there will be nothing else going on, will be selected. Those expecting to give dances any night in holiday week will do well to notify the sheriff's office so that the tournament may not be set for the day before for it will last all night. Ac- cording to the terms signed yesterday each contestant is required to rope a yearling steer. There are some things that can not be accomplished in a day.

A BATTLE TODAY
The Very Place of It Has Been Agreed
 Upon.

Colon, Nov. 26.-A passenger train which should have arrived here this morning, came in late this afternoon with marine guards aboard. The train brings the news that General Alban with about 400 troops crossed Barbacoa bridge and are continuing their march to Colon.

Cox is a lawyer. about 27 years of age and a very pleasant gentleman. He was graduated from Dartmouth college, and after that acquired his legal educa- tion at Boston. He practiced for some time in Ohio before coming west.
 He brought with him the most flat tering letters of recommendation from the most prominent politicians and the best known lawyers of the Buckeye state.

UNKNOWN FATALITIES
Twenty0ne Dead Have Been Found and Scores Terribly Injured. The Roof and Floors Bulged Up and Settled Down Upon the Vic tims-Spreading Flames Added to the Terror of the Incident.

Detroit. Mich, Nov. 26.-Twenty-one men are dead, ten of them unidentified, and so terribly burned and blackened that Identification is almost impossible; twenty-seVen others are lying in va rious hospitals of the city suffering from burns and other injuries result ng from an exploson of one of the boilers in the Penberthy Injector com panys large plant at Abbot street and Brooklyn avenue, this morning.
 It is impossible to tell how many men were at work in the various depart ments in the rear of the building. where the boiler was located. when the ex- pIosion occurred, but the company of ficials insist that the number was not over eighty-five.
 The awful crash came without the slightest warning. The floors and roof of the rear building bulged upwards, and then crashed down with their heavy loads of machinery. Dense clouds of dust arose from the wreck age as it settled, followed by denser clouds of smoke and steam as the de- bris took fire.
 Agonizing cries of the injured and dying came from the pile of brick and iron. Some who escaped serious in- juries, dug themselves out and assisted in rescuing the others. The flames spread quickly, adding to the horror of the situation and the sufferings of the imprisoned men.
 The entire fire department responded immediately and set to work to save those who were not killed outright Hundreds of men were put to work re- moving the debris and cartinS away the brick. in order to reach the dead and injured. Gradually the rescuers worked their way down through the pile or debris. By this time, however, the unfortunates who were not killed outright, had been burned to death
 As fast as the bodies were recovered they were borne away on stretchers while the injured were hurried to the hospitals in ambulances.
 The property loss is about S1S0. .O00 Nothing is known, as yet, about the cause of the explosion. The boilers had been recently inspected and the en- gineer was known to be a careful and competent man.

SENSE ABOUT FOOD.
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

It is a serious question sometimes to know just what to eat when person s stomach is out of order and most foods cause gripping and pains.
 Grape-Nuts Food can be taken at any time with the certainty that it vii df- gest. Actual experience of people is valuable to anyone interested in foods.
 Mrs. Ella Nation, 1452 Grand Ave, Terre Haute. Ind., Had suffered with indigestion for about four years, ever since an attack of typhoid fever, and at times could eat nothing but the very lightest food and then suffer such agony with my stomach I would wish I never had to eat anything. I was urged to try Grape-Nuts Food and since using it I do not have to starve myself any more. but I can eat it at any time and feel nourished and satis- fled, and dyspepsia is a thing of the past.
 When my stomach used to have that burning, hungry tion my heart would fiutter, just as sufferers with stomach trouble know about. and when I was so weak I could hardly walk I would get up and get some Grape Nuts and cream and eat them and the trouble would stop right away, and I kept growing better and better.
 My husband also had an experience with Grape Nuts Food. He was very weak and sickly in the spring. Could not attend to his work. He was put under the doctors care but medicine did not seem to do him any good until he began to leave off ordinary food and use Grape-N Nuts. It was positively surprising to see the change in him. He grew better right off, and naturally he has none but words of praise for Grape-Nuts.
 "Our boy thinks he cannot eat a meal without he has Grape-Nuts. and he learns SO fast at school that his teacher and other scholars comment on it. am satisfied that it is because of the great nourishing elements in Grape Nuts.
 Tt is pity that people do not know what to feed their children. There are many mothers who feed their young sters on almost any kind of food and when they become sick begin to pour medicine down them. The real way is to stick to proper food and be healthy and get along without the medicine and expense"

SNOW IN THE WAY
The Release of Miss Stone Still Fur
 ther Delayed.

Sofia, Nov. 26.-The brigands are de- termined to wait until the disappear ance of the snow which will permit them freedom of movement before re- stunning negotiations for the release of Miss Stone and Madame Tsilka. The impression which prevails among the best informed people here is that MT. Dickinson's departure for Constanti- nople increases the difficulty of gain ing the confidence of the brigands and of expediting the settlement of the ransom question.

STRIKE FELL SHORT.

Pittsburg, Nov. 26.-Judging by ap- parent conditions the switchmen's s strike. begun this morning has proven a flat failure. The strike was ordered by the Switchmen's union and a claim was made early today that every road in the city excepting two or three would be tied up completely. The develop ments today, however, demonstrate that only one road, the Lehigh Valley is seriously affected. On this road but one crew is at work and the line is badly crippled.

Hopkins bill, to increase the membership
to $50 and assigning the additional repre-

The Smith amendment to the Burleigh

defeated, 50 to 1876.
The vote was then taken upon the Bur-
leigh substitute. Both sides demanded the
ayes and noes and the roll was called.
The Burleigh substitute was adopted-165

Against the adoption of the committee

THE POST EXCHANGE DEBATED.
The Senate Discussing the Question OF
the Army Canteen.

The canteen question was under consider
alton in the Senate until late yesterday
afternoon. The Senate committee had in
effect restored the provision for a post ex-
change, or canteen, but after a discussion
oe five hours vote on the proposition was
not in sight Senators Gallinger On. H.)
and Hansbrough On. D. vigorously opposed
the amendment, and, in turn, it was quite
as strenuously supported by Senators
Sewell On. j.. Hawley Comm, Money
(NGissD and Carter (Mont.).
In response to arguments advanced Ly
Mr.. Sewell and Mr.. Money in favor of the
post exchange, Mr. Gallinser directed at
te ntion to the system in the navy. Under
tn law the sailors were given ) cents per
dsy, in addition to their pay. in lieu of
grDg rations. This had been found to be
an excellent system. and he believed it
would be we'll to apply it to the army.
He combated Mr.. Sewall's statement that
courts-martial had been reduced 40 per
cent by the establishment of the cantean
declaring that during the first four years
I after the canteen was established court.-
martial had increased in the army Is per
cent
Mr. Hansbrough On. -D.), who has been
recognized as one of the leading opponents
in Congress of the post exchange, made
an extended argument in opposition to the
committee amendment. He declared that
the use of beer degraded the men and de-
tracted from their usefulness as soldiers
of beer In the canteen was demoralizing to
the morals and discipline of the enlisted
men. 1t had been shown. he said, quoting
from a letter from army officer, to be
at the bottom of most of the trouble and
misery Of the soldier.
Mr.. Hansbrough cited the fact that dur
ing a specified period in the Spanish war
the deaths from disease in the army where
the canteen had been established at every
post had numbered more than 5000. while
there had not been a single death from
disease in the navy, which had no cal.een.
The conclusion from such facts he thought
was obvious. He hoped Congress would
signaize the opening of the twentieth CEN
tury by wiping from the statute books the
authorization of the government saloon.
At this point Messrs. Thurston (Neb.).
Platt (Conn) and Jones (ArkD were ap-
pointed as conferees on the part of the
Senate on two bills ratifying treaties with
the Cherokees and the Muskogee or Creek
Indians.
Mr.. Allison, chairman of the. committee
on appropriations, then asked that some
time be devoted to the legislative. execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill, the
army bill being laid aside temporarily.
Mr.. Sewell urged that the army bill was
very important and ought to be passed as
soon a. possible. He then asked that unan-
imous consent be given to vote on the can
teen amendment at o'clock today.
Mr.. Teller (ColD objected.
On motion of Mr.. Allison, the Senate at
| $40 adjourned.
