The late DowagerEmpres Frederick

glass of water, and, as he handed it to
her, she said to lady-in-waiting who
sat near: HE has cost me as many
tears as there are drops of water in this
glass;"
As preface to his attack upon the
recent army appointments in England,
Rudyard kipling tells a story of man
who was carrying a bag, and of whom

snakes, and I'm taking the mongooses
up to kill them" But your brother

SOLOMONVILLE TO CLIFTON
Branch Road of the G. V. G & N to

William Garland. president of the Gila Valley Globe x Northern railroad. accompanied by his chief engineer, ar rived in Clifton Sunday last. having come by private conveyance from Solo knoxville. says the Copper Era. They drove up the Gila 10 the mouth of the San Francisco. and thence up that stream to Clifton. IL was announced by Mir. Garland that he was looking over the country with a view of eX- tending his road from Solomonville to Clifton, and to investigate the feasi- bility of the water grade route.
 The railroad reporter of the Era, who built nine railroads, into Clifton in one week, and who is well up on rali- road matters. was informed that the river route is entirely feasible. and that in fact with the exception of about TWO miles nesr the mouth of the Frisco, the line could be constructed without any unusual expense.
 Mr Garland spent Monday in look ing over the camp. and in conversing with business and mining men as to the future of the district. and eNpresg- ed hiHSelfas well pleased with the gen eral outlook. as there is no more eN- tensive mineral belt in all Arizona than the Clifton Morenci district. Mir. Gar land is looking largely to the business or the future as well as that Of the present. His road is so closely allied with the Southern Pacific that if is likely that when it is completed to Clifton. new tariff schedule will be put on from all points on the g. F., either from the east or west. to this place.
 The building of the Fl Paso & South we-tern. and the connection of the A. & N. NJ. with that line al Hachita practically shuts the :. r. off from all of the best business in Southern ,Ari- zona. In order to retain a part of the bCciles5 the S. P. must build branch lines into all Of the best towns. | has already surveyed lines into Pearcc. Tombstone and Bisbec, and il is only reasonable to suppose that it expects to reach the business of Clifton through the extension Of the C. ", c. & N from SolomonVille.
 That il is the intention of the man. agement to build the line in the very near future. there is not the shadow O: doubt This information comes to the Era from several sources. all of which seem reliable.

cRoKER,s GIFT TO PLArr.

That political antagonism does not prevent exchanges of courtesies was exernplifed yesterday when Thomas C. Platt received a gift from Richard Croker. The gift was a large, hand somely bound volume. containing car toons of the two leaders CCroker an.I PlatD which have appeared during tn. past five years or more. The card Of the Tammany chief accompanied tn. book.
 There were pictures of the Easy Boss' and of the Squire of Vantage" galore. As Senator Platt looked them over he forgot that he ever fndorsed the plan for an anti-carroon law, and seemed as amused as if he had never been the victim of caricature.
 Senator Platt said: -'Inasnluch as only the faces of MT. Croker and my presume that MT. Croker. being proud of being in such good company. con cluded to send the book to me as an earnest of his delight Then Senator Platt threw himself back in his chair and laughed long and heartily.

Mickey Lewis, the superintendent

That The Globe called "Mikey' a

it was a reflection on the Jews to iden-
