Events of a Day

UOSHING THE COPS.-Everybody in town felt at liberty yesterday to joke policemen, past, present, and those who died in the shell. Marshal Kin
 ney still thinks that he is big enough
 to fill Joe Bushs clothes, but Joe seems to be using them yet Ex-officer Hale says the only thing he is sore about is that he has been on duty at night for a long time and nobody ever tried to sell him Captain. Incidentally it might be well to inquire how long the new force is going to allow the eX marshal and his deputies to lay around
 town before applying the vag ordi-
 nance. They have been here twenty four hours without a visible job and if they don't get into something pretty
 quick they may become liable
 MAJOR COLE.-The street meetings were resumed last night at the corner of Washington and Center streets. The
 brief addresses seemed even more ear- nest and tender than usual. Major Cole has seen a great deal of life. He clearly knows it from every side. In military affairs and business life he has made his influence felt. His every word and actions prove his enthusiasm and sincerity in religious work. No one can listen to him without a conviction that he thoroughly believes what he breaches. To him Getting Right With God" is the most important thing that can engage any mans attention. Added to his zeal, his big heart and unfailing courtesy have endeared the man to hundreds of Phoenix people, both in and out of the churches, each one of whom considers himself Major Coles warm personal friend. It needs no more than this to account for his large D rsonai influence. But the noticeable thing is his constant effort 10 put him self in the background and to empha- size the message that he brings. al- legiance to which amounts in the preacher to a ruling passion. At the evening service at the old postoffice, almost every seat was taken and there were many new faces. The earnest at tention and desp interest was almost remarkable.
 FUNERAL OF A. s. FOUSHEE.- The funeral of MT. A. S. Foushee was held at the Baptist church, yesterday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock. under the auspices of the Phoenix Lodge No. 2 F. and A. M, the members of Phoenix commandery No. 3 being in attendance as an escort. Mir. Foushee being q faithful and greatly respected member of both societies. He was an early settler in Phoenix, and in the early days did much toward the upbuilding of the city, being engaged in contract ing and building He was one of the principal contractors in the construe- ton of the county court house and later in the remodeling of the Ander- son block now occupied by the F. Hey man Furniture store. Many other wil! known business blocks were large ly the result of his labors and he built numerous private residences. As a citizen he was respected by all, the memory of him will be the memory of good man and only words of regret at his death are spoken by those who knew him. He was fairly prosperous when he first came to Phoenix, but in later years fortune grew more fickle and his portion of this worlds goods was not large. But money is no meas ure of manhood. and a blameless life Is a bstter testimonial to his virtue than any other that could be spoken.
