AN HONEST THIEF.

A thief in the City of Mexico, known
as a ratero, has shown that even a
thief can have some honor. This thief
grabbed a mans diamond pin while
riding on the crowded platform of a
street car and the man grabbed the
thief and took him to Jail. The pin
could not be found on him but he con-
fessed to having stolen it and told the
man from whom he had taken it that
if he would secure his release and not
prosecute him he would return the pin.
The man thought he might as well try
him. for if he didn't return the pin he
would be no worse off for there seemed
to be no chance to get it by prosecu-
ton. After considerable trouble he Sc
cured the ratero'S release and it was
agreed that the pin should be left at
the Herald Office. At the appointed
time the man called and received the
pin. which had been brought up in a
neat parcel by a girl. The girl said a
man handed it to her on the street and
told her to take it up to the editor,
giving her quarter for her trouble
DIR. FLUHRER IN MEXICO.
Among a party of Raymond Whit
comb excursionists in Mexico are DR..
w. F.. Fluhrer and wife and daughter.
DR.. Fluhrer is one of the foremost
physicians of New York and is dis
tinguished by being the first physician
to successfully extract bullets from
the brain of a patient. The operation
had no precedent recorded in the an
nails of medical science and such an at
tempt was practically forbidden in the
books of medicine. But DIR. Fluhrer
believed that he could do it and when
he found a man who had shot himself
and was being taken to the morgue be-
cause he was so near dead that it was
useless to take him to the hos
pital he asked to be allowed to make
the experiment. The permission was
given. DR.. Fluhrer removed the bullet
from the mans brain and he is alive
today. having been happily married
and has a family. DR.. F'luhrer has
performed other similar operations sue
since.

MANS CHRISTMAS HYSTERIA.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
In Christmas buying men are sub
ject to much the same form of hysteria
that affects women in a milliner's shop.
They buy under spell, and. as women
become the possessors of impossible
bonnets, men secure parlor ash sifters.
self-playing pianos, and automatic toys
of all sorts that loom up darkly when
the holiday time is over-unanswer-
able illustrations of mans incapacity
to solve the problem of Christmas
shopping.

there is also a large collection of CO.
votes and other animals of prey gath
cred there. There are more coyotes
now in that vicinity than were ever
known to exist in that part of the ter
ritory. Though the sheep are carefully
guarded there are many of them being
captured by the coyotes and they are
playing special havoc among the lambs.
Besides the coyotes there are some big
gray wolves and mountain lions gath
cred there to share with the little des-
ert wolves in the mutton feast.
GATHERED WILD FLOWERS
Hundreds of people spent Sunday in
the mountains and on the deserts
gathering wild flowers, and it is safe
to say that several tons of flowers were
brought into town last evening. DoZ-
ems of parties went out and spent the
entire day, and buggies, carriages and
picnic hacks came back loaded with
great bouquets. 1t is likely that not
in ten years has there been such "a
profusion of wild flowers in this por
ton of Arizona. AT any point on the
desert, as far as the eye can reach, can
be seen acres and miles of gorgeous
yellow, and from elevated points the
desert takes on the appearance of
perfect sea of green and gold. Parti-
cularly pretty is the view of Paradise
valley. as seen from the north side of
mountain. the poppy is the
flower to be found growing
wild and is the prettiest of them all.
There are smaller flowers of all imagi-
nab1e colors. from the daisy, in its
white and yellow, to the honeysuckle,
in its deep red.-Phoenix Republican.

NEW YORK, March 2.-The tension
in Wall street due tc the tendency of
the great consolidation OF iron and
steel corporations has been relieved by
the consummation OF the scheme and
the formal publication of it's details.
The capitalization of the corporation
amounts to total of 81 ,10C. 900 900. in
Guiding $500. OGO, 900 in bonds, $780,
OO0, 900 in preferred stock and $780,
900 900 in common stock. The bonds
Mr.. Carnegie and his partners in ex-
change for their interests, while both
the preferred and common stocks will
be issued in exchange for the stocks of
the merged companies and also to the
extent of about S7O,000,006 for sub
sidy purposes. The seven companies
consolidated are recent creations and,
as a rule, were generally capitalized on
the basis of the common stock repre-
senting mainly the good will, etc. 1t
will be observed, therefore, that the is
sues of the new corporation will stand
syndicat of banks and foreign bankers
has underwritten the undertaking to
the extent of 10000 900; which
insures the success OF the f1otation be-
yond all peradventure and may be eX-
pected to protect the money market
from any possible disturbance arising
from the operations. Wall street now
the scheme ard is mainly |
with estimating it's intrinsic |
and the future market value |
Of the new securities. Excepting the |
issue of $500, 900, 900 of bonds, the |
make no material addition to the vol |
Ime of securities on the market; and |
he same will be true of the bonds if |
Mr.. Carnegie and his associates should |
choose to keep them in their possess |
on; which, however, is subject to |
1ence may be expected to lead him to
exchange some considerable proption
Of the mortgage for variety of other
rather than have too many
eggs in one basket.
Beyond these immediate aspects of
he great transaction, this event sug-
sests to Wall street some questions of
very great interest. 1t presents an ap-
Dlication of the trust principle upon a
seal e surprising anything that has
been supposed probable, or even pos
.ible. 1t is striking illustration of
he way in which large concentrations
IF industrial capital tend to the Gre
ltion of still larger. 1t is conceded that
he merged companies found them
elves face to face with an inevita bic
md estructive competitions battle
between giants and this amalgama-
ion was brought about by a threat
rom Mr.. Carnegie to poach on the re-
serves of his neighbors. The organi-
.ation of this huge concern is openly
justified by its promoters on the ground
hat it is better to invest 80 or 40 mil
ions, in order to harmonic competing
interests, than Ito introduce $50 to 200
nilloins of new capital for the destruc-
ior of existing industries" All of
which amounts to an acknowledgement
hat great concentrations of capital |
annot realize this policy until they
lave become virtual monopolies. Up
N this principle, may not the United
tates Steel company, having gotten
nder its control one-half of the iron
rade, find itself compelled to carry on ,

its programme of annexation until it
monopolizes the entire industry? And,
again. are there no other industries
likely to find themselves in the same
position of inevitable competition be-
tween strong capitals and driven to
seek fuller protection in still larger
If this policy has al
ready proved 20 be necessity in the
iron trade, what is to prevent its ap-
plication until we have reached a con-
dition in which every other industry
will be owned or controlled by one in
corporated monopoly. 1t seems to me
that we are verging towards the Gre
ation of a vast mass of securities, in
which it is to be hoped conservatism
will prevail against excessive capitali-
