BEAUMONT OIL VALUABLE.
Col. James E. Tate, capitalist and
business man of Baltimore. has been

body and closely resembles the West

cost it can be utilized for lubricating
purposes and as such is the most yalu-

Beaumont is located on LAND that was a
part of a Spanish grant patented in

position that the land formerly be-
longed to the state public free school

state title to all such lands on which

said two dollars. l CAV her the money

FOO PETE PARDONED.

Governor Murphy has issued a par
don to Foo Pete. a Chinaman. who was
sentenced to the penitentiary from ella
county in 1897 for sever years for man
slaughter. The movement for the par
o was begun some time ago. The pc
tition was signed by the judge before
whom the case was tried, by all the
members of the jury who could be COM
municated with and many influential
citizens of Globe. 1t was supported
by the statement of Superintendent
Brown of the penitentiary that Foo
Pete had been a model prisoner. Foo
Pete may be innocent of the crime
for which he a been confined in the
penitentiary nearly our years. He
was in the gardening business with a
fellow Celestial and the latter was
found murdered. No one witnessed the
crime and he was convicted because
tracks led from the scene of the muir
der to his cabin and shoes which fit
them were found under his bed. 1t is
known hat every other Chinaman in
the neighborhood was an enemy of Foo
Pete and his partner and as Foo Pete's
door was never locked it is possible
and probable that the Zoe were
placed under Foo's bed with the DELHI
crate purpose of having him charged
with h crime.

4 LONE

w. III. Black, a citizen of Phoenix,
has returned from a trip to the Brad
shaw mountains and tells of an event
which took place in those mountains
and which has the flavor of bygone
Arizona days. He says that a lone
h~ighwayman, afoot and heavily armed,
held up the stage that runs between
Prescott and Crown King. Then he
quietly pursued ais way to Columbia
camp where he Sauntered int a store
and drawing a bead on the country
merchant, helped himself to what little
coin there was in sight. He then dis
appeared in the hills and rocks of
Yavapai. The exact amount of money
he secured from the stage is not known
but it is believed that the total amount
he secured by boil robberies would not
exceed $50. Their seems to be no clew
to the identity of the highwayman and
no arrests have been made. Mr.. Black
says as he was returning to Phoenix
he passed a man sitting on a rOCIZ by
the roadside with a rife and two six
shooters. Mr.. Black says he thinks tnat
he was the robber but the man did not
modest him n he vas glad enough
to get by without any words with him.

END of Foraker Tariff.

Chicago Chronicle.
Since the passage Of the Foraker bill
we have heard great deal from admin
istration sources about the wonderful
virtues of the tariff provisions Of that
enactment. And there has been the
usual administration consistency in
what we have heard
To begin with. cardinal virtue was
that it was only temporary measure
and would cease to be effective By
limitation. As it passed the House II
declared that this act shall be taken
and held to be provisional in its pur-
poses and intended to meet pressing
need for revenue for the island of Porto
Rico and shan not continue in force
after March /, 1902 The Senate
amended this so that the tariff should
cease at the time stated in any event
and earlier If the Porto Rican assembly
should enact and put in effect some
other adequate revenue measure.
Not long after the act was put in
force we heard of another OF its merits
II was supplying plenty 81 revenue and
the Porto Ricans liked ID so well that
they couldn't think Of keeping house
without It. They had recognized tie
superior wisdom OF their American
lawgiyers and learned thar what had
been offered them as a temporary evil
was in reality a permanent blessing.
But now We hear different story.
An administration piuveyor Of news
triamphantly announces that thiz per-
manent blessing viii cease on the fgt
of July next and after that date Porto
Rico IS TO enjoy free trade With the
United States.
The Porto Rican assembly has enact
ed a revenue law which indicates TN

the people OF that island are far from
pleased with the Foraker tarid and are

best possible view of the open door.
1t was a most provoking view. for it
gave Mrs. Tapes only glimpse of Mr.
Tapes side elevation as he slaughtered
in his chair from frequent leaning
position, apparently toward the type
writer. Then the distance was such
that she~eould hear the sound of his low
voice without catching the words.
In few minutes she moved her
chair nearer, which did not help her
view. but made the voice more distinct
Mr.. Tapes leaned so far forward that he
was entirely out of sight, and Mrs.
Tapes showed agitation by rapidly tap
ping the floor with her right foot. Then
she arose aud approached the busy
smooth patcd clerk
What is the name of Mr.. Tapes

She returned to her chair and drew
it little nearer the door as she sat
down. She saw her husband standing,
and then disappear as he stepped be-
hind the typewriter. She heard him
laugh, low laugh that she had de-
lighted in. Then she heard him speak,
with some emphasis.
Il have had my vacation, he said
"and now you must have yours. l
hope you will have as fine time as we
had when we took our vacation to-
gether last summer
Mrs. Tapes sprang from her seat,
thrust the door wide open, and entered
Mr.. Tapes stood with both hands af-
fectionately on his typewriter's shoul-
ders, and the two turned quickly to-
ward her as she entered

he said. Il didn't expect to see you
here. What a pleasant surprise. Al
low me to introduce my typewriter to

You see, my dear, Mr.. Hannah has
grown gray in B street. I had my
initiation in his Office, and though he
taught me well. like many Others he has

extended hand and a ray Of sunshine of

a frock or cutaway coat with striped

you do not care TO go to the expense of

SOME QUESTION ASKED
AND ANSWERED

Kindly inform me what the correct
apparel is for a bridegroom and how
to arrange for noon wedding. H. R.
The correct apparel for bridegroom
on his wedding day consists of a black
frock or cutaway coat, with either black
or white waistcoat, if desired, and
striped gray trousers. You can either
have a large church wedding and. a
small reception at the house or vice
versa. II you have the wedding at
home you can have small reception
and wedding breakfast served either
from buffet or at small tables, as you
prefer. A wedding breakfast can be
made very attractive entertainment
and need not be elaborate. You should
have bouillon, salads, game and ices,
and this menu can be elaborated or cut,
as you desire. If the ceremony takes
place at the house there should be a
decoration of flowers or plants at one
end of the room, where the marriage
will be celebrated, and ribbons can be
held by pages or flower girls to repre-
sent the aisle of the church, through
which the bridal party pass.
Kindly inform me what young lady
should do when, at an informal dance.
gentleman asks her to dance and she
is not familiar with the special dance,
or perhaps, is tired? What excuse
should she make and on declining.
should she ask the gentleman to be
seated, or in any way try to detain him
for her own special amusement? Also
at a formal dance where there are
dance cards and the gentleman puts his
name to a certain dance, and when the
