Many of the newspapers have ap- parcntly just discovered that Arizona has an excellent climate for eight mouths in the year. Clifton is a mo- table exception, as her climate is all right the year around. Clifton is natures spring, summer, fall and winter resort. She combines about all the good points in the way of climate that are worth mentioning. Climate, how ever, is d word to juggle with, and can only be understood by comparison. Some people will never be satisfied, either in this world or the next.

DON'T BE HASTY.
om the Selma Journal.

From the Selma Journal.
 The constitutional convention, if called, and there is hardly a. doubt but that it will be- has a task before it that is not a small one. and that is the pleasing of all the varied interests. including the people. There should be no additional privileges granted to corporations that the present instrument does not grant, at the same time corporations should not be oppressed simply because instead of one man owning a business a number have banded together, If those who shall compose the convention act with wisdom the instrument they frame will be rati- fled, otherwise 1t will not. There are of course going to be objections to any law that is made, that is there is going to be fault found with it. It is a mat ter of absolute impossibility for -ny body of men to get together and make laws that will be agreeable to everybody. This applies equally from the actions of a city executive committee up to a consti- tutional convention and around by a city council, but the great thing to have &C., complished is to secure an organic law
 
 most people, and will not retard the progro ss of the State.
 There is a great deal being said before hand about this instrument not being ratified The Journal does not think this is the right spirit. It is not we'll to mould sentiment that the constitution to be framed is going to be one the people do not want Men ought to be credited with good until they prove otherwise, and 1t Is entirely a wrong attitude to asr sume that the convention which is to assemble in May is not going to act with wisdom and patriotism It may not do so, but it appears to this paper that until 1t tries to enact some law that will throttle the rights of the vast majority of citizens, 1t does not lie we'll with men and newspapers, the latter especially, to be eternally ding donging about fears for which no grounds but a morbid apprehen- sion Is responsible.

Frank Daniels.

Frank Daniels first appearance in this city. and in his new comic opera. will take place tomorrow night at the Jeffer- son Theatre. "The Ameer'' is the title of the production and Victor Herbert is the composer Of the music. The production in New York last winter was pronounced 'the comic opera hit of the season" There is no need to speak of Victor Her. bert by way of introduction. His ex- ouisite melodies and stirring chorus num- bers of "The Wizard of the Nile" "The Idols Eye" and The Serenade" have made his name familiar to all music low CTS. Suffice it, therefore. to say that he considers his music in "The Ameer'' the very best of his creations. The libretto is by Kirke La Shelle, the author of ''The Princess Chic.' and Fred M. Ranken. au- thor of "The Smugglers," two clever young writers who give excellent prom ise that the world shall hear much from them hereafter, The story they have woven for "The Ameer" is said to team with quaint conceits. dainty lyrics. and situations for Daniels of a side-splitting character MT. Daniels himself Is greatly pleased with the part assigned to him. He says that it gives him splendid oppor- tunity, and those who have seen him declare that he has embraced that op- portunity with his customary skill. MT Daniels support Is understood to sur pass any of his former supports. His company numbers over sixty people. The chorus, IS Is always the case with the Daniels company, Is composed of many girls. Among the principals are Helen Redmond, Kate Uart, Norma Kopp, Rhys Thomas, Will Danforth, Owen Westford and William Corliss.

 Gentlemen-" Ever since my son, now grown, was born I have suffered with some peculiar weakness of the pelvic organs which no medicine seemed to reach.
 "My physicians finally suggested an operation, which I was considering, when my sister asked me to try Peruna as last resort. She had used it and been greatly helped. Peruna simply worked wonders with my whole system, and in few weeks the pains began to go away.

GEN BOTHA SAID ID
 HAVE SURRENDERED
London Paper Believes Report Though it Has No Means
 of Verifcation

London. February N.-The Daily Chron- icle, which has received a report it be- lieves trustworthy, though 1t has not means of verification, that General Botha has surrendered to Lord Kitchener, says:
 According to earlier information, Gen. eral Botha was to, have been received at Lord Kitchener's camp about the end of this week. but if the foregoing report is correct, events have ripened with unex- pected rapidity."
 Bennett Bureigh wires to the Daily Telegraph from DeAr, under Tuesdays s date, as follows:
 The Orange River remains high. Our columns are tightening their grip upon Steyn, DeWet and Hertsog near Petrus- vile, and our patrols have been engaged. l anticipate that a general action is about to be fought, and that the collision Is likely to prove serious"
 Special dispatches from Pretoria locate General Botha with a small force north of Middleburg They point out that he is probably making for the headquarters of Commandant Viljoen, and the seat of the Boer government beyond Roossenkai
 Lord Kitchener has been at Middle burg for the last few days, but there Is no indication from any quarter other than that relied upon by the Daily Chron- icIe that General Botha has surrendered

ADJUSTMENTS.

It was whirlwind of fun-a veritable cyclone of unadulterated mirth-making that the Jolly Rogers Brothers and their splendid aggregation of vaudeville stars and pretty chorus girls brought to the Jefferson Theatre last night. and the big audience thoroughly enjoyed the high winds that blew furiously through three acts of genuine farce comedy, labeled Rogers Brothers in Central Park"
 It was the real article. the same pro duction that has scored the success of the season. and Birmingham's reception to the clever comedians was no less warm, than they have received at every point on their triumphant tour.
 It Is freak" performance, for the plot Is deeply buried and only has beginning and an end, the intervening time being filled in with clever dialogue. catchy songs, graceful dances and funny situations, with a background of pretty color schemes, in costumes and rich ef- fects in scenery.
 It Is sparkling and effervescent and fairly bubbles over with the wine of mirth that sets the disabilities in motion and brings the audience into close sym pathy with fun making-a kind of fra ternal joy that is spontaneous and satis- flying
 The Rogers Brothers are fine, but they are by no means the whole show, for there Is Isidore Rush-think of 1t, just as pretty as ever, and lots more clever in her catch songs. and Johnnie Page, and Grace Freeman, and Jeanette Bogeard. and Eolth St. Clair, and Emma Frances, and Louise Royco and others And then there is the chorus-ffty pretty, shapely girls with melody in their voices and grace in their action,
 In this great aggregation 1t would be hard ito. tell who contributed the largest share to the success of the evening, but each one did their part and did it well.
 A clever ruse was worked during the intermission between the second and third acts when the orchestra took up the air of one of the catchy songs and the auulence under the leadership of the song sellers began to whistle 1t. Taking ad- vantage of the inspiration the boys rushed their sale and disposed of many copies.
 The performance will be repeated to- night.

RUSSELL SAGE
Reported. To Have Suffered Heavy
 Losses In Recent Operations.

New York Spec. Chicago Times Herald.
 II Russell Sage were not known to have something like $100,000,000, the stories that are afloat in Wall street about him would long since have de- veloped into rumors into rumors of his being broken, or likely to be broken, by the stock market.
 The market Is no sooner known to be going against some daring operator than the gossips begin to whisper that the daring operator Is face to face with poverty or the poorhouse. There are evidences that Mir. Sage has been on the wrong side of the market and that he has been losing lot of money, but not even the most inveterate of the rumor makers has yet been bold or original enough to intimate that the losses are large enough to embar- rass the titular "old man of the street"
 It Is very apparent, however, that Uncle Russell, if not embarrassed at least is badly worried by Dame For tunes lack of smiles for him at the present time. His put and call busi- ness has never before been so un- profitable, while his stock market com mitments have shown an exasperating habit of being wrong consistently.
 Indeed, said one of his associates a few days ago, about the only source of income upon which MT. Sage re- gently has been able to rely with any degree of confidence has been the meetings of boards of directors of which he Is member, and for attend ing which meetings fee of $5 is paid.
 MT. Sage Is nearly four-score and half He goes to his office every day, but Is seen less and less frequently in the streets of the financial district nowadays. His growing feebleness constrains him to eschew outside work as much as possible. He continues to tell his friends who inquire as to his health that he Is still strong and hearty and feeling for many more years of hard work, but the very voice in which he makes his favorite dec laration of youthful energy bellies his words, showing in its shakiness that the old man himself is deceived, and therefore overtaxing his powers. .,
 The success of the bull pools in Mis- souri Pacific and Manhattan is said to have been due more largely to MT. Sage's unconscious assistance than to any other one influence.
 The more the pools in these stocks bid up their prices the more MT. Sage supplied them with stocks, feeling confident that there would not be dividend in the enc or an increase in the other for iong time. At length the pools had both markets practi- cally cornered, and MT. Sage was com pelled to acknowledge defeat, which in Wall street means signing a big check.
 Numerous other instances are cited showing that Mir Sage took the wrong position on stocks of companies of which he is director, and with finan- cially disastrous results.

GERMANY AGREES.
The Powers Have About Determined
 On Plan of Punishment.

Berlin, February H.-Germany will en- dorso the proposition of the United States, Great Britain and France for the punishment of the guilty province off, cials, and will support the same in the conference of the ministers of the pow CTS in Pekin. This statement Is made on the best authority. It Is regarded here as practically certain that the proposi- ton will be adopted unanimously.
 The report of the suicide of Ting Ling and Chao Sku Chi Is officially confirmed, but report that Count von Waldersee has ordered a discontinuance of punitive ex- petitions is not confirmed. although 1t Is regarded as very probable.
 The Lokal Anzeiger's special corres- pendent with Count yon Waldersee gives the following particulars regarding the execution of the two Chinese yesterday:
 Major Lauenstein represented Count von Waldersee and the Chinese govern ment sent the minister of justice to wit ness the execution. After 1t was over the executioners placed the heads on the trunks, and having placed the bodies in splendid coffins, turned them over to the relatives of the beheaded officials.

 siblllty to Captain Ward.

San Francisco, February 27.-At the coroner's inquest in the matter of the steamship Rio de Janeiro, Pilot Jordan again shifted the responsibility for the disaster to Captain Ward, who went down with his vessel. Pilot Jordan stated that 1t was a rule of this port that all captains have power supreme to that of the pilot and that Captain Ward had or dered him to proceed, Said Pilot Jordan
 'We were carried on to the point by an unexpected swirl of the tide that coul1 not have been foreseen. I blame the cur rent and the improper signal at Fort Point, which is bell you can't hear any distance at all. The captain himself or dered up the anchor"
 Second Officer Coghlan said:
 ''The pilot gave the order to heave up''

 The accounts of the fearful famine in the province of Shen Shi where horses are said to be dying for lack of food and water, are not believed here. It is thought the court ordered the publication of these reports in order to frighten off the expedition threatened.

MCCULLOUGH PLANNED
He Is Responsible for the Raids On
 New York Dives.

Mir. McCullaugh tonight confirmed this ,and said he was pleased with the results and did not believe the police had tipped off to the gamblers the coming of the raid ers.
 Superintendent McCullagh declared Deputy Commissioner Devery is not the man that the committee are after, and that Devery is simply obeying orders, and if he did not do so that he would be put out and some man put in who did.
 Tt is the people who hold the entire po- lice force in their grasp that are respon- sible for gambling said Superintendent McCullagh. We want them, and we are going to get them.
