DOWN IN A SALT MINE.
An Occasion when Ones Dignity
Must BE Set Aside.

1t is only the e'rct among travellers
WHO find their way to Berchtesgadez,
In Bavaria, not very far from SalZ-
burg, writes Il correspondent of the
London Tatler If you drive in car
riage from thence oy road, you are
stopped midway at customs house
and find yourself leaving Aus Fan ter
ritory for Bavarian Berchtesgaden is
beautifully situated, and it has two
noteworthy attractions, one of them
the Konigsee, thought by many the
most bea autiful lake in the world and
the other the salt mines. A visit to the
salt mines gives one an exciting hour.
Many t$%rists take tickets at the top,
but many of the fair sex are deferred
from using them when they see the
costume that is rendered essential to
the visit. In other words, they have to
abandon skirts and adopt a special
"rig out" One may frequently observe
that ladies, torn between what they
consider modesty and curiosity, go two
or three times to the mines before they
screw up their courage sufficiently to
The necessity for women to abandon
the usual garment arises from the fact
that a portion of the mine can only be
visited through the medium of a kind
Of slide. This slide is, however. the
best thing in the whole visit. 1t is a
great deal better than tobogganing,
and, as one is in the dark and with
only q candle fastened to ones dress,
it is not a little exciting.
The strangest incident in the trip is
that of the illumination of what is
called ''the salt lake" You are rowed
across this lake in almost absolute
darkness, the illumination being pro-
vided by number Of miners lamps
round the lake, and the journey has a
very considerable weirdness. The nexr
best experience in the trip rs the final
ride into daylight on the trucks. This
is journey through absolute darkness
for very considerable way until final
ly one sees little CLEAN Of light in
the distance. Altogether, as / have
said, between the toboggan slide, the
car ride and the boat journey across
the salt lake the visitor to the Berch-
tesgaden salt mine has plenty for his
money. But, curiously enough, he sees
very little salt. AT any rate, the pre-
pared salt that one uses on ones break
fast table is not at all in evidence.

who Executed Charles T..

In the burial register of Whitechapel
under the year 1649 is the following
entry:
June 21st. Richard Brandon, a man
out of Rosemary lane This Brandon
Is held to be the man who beheaded
Charles the First"
A less distinguished candidate for
the infamy was one William Hewlett,
actually condemned to death after the
restoration for a part he never played
and only saved from the gallows by
the urgent efforts Of a few citizens
who swore that Brandon did the deed.
Brandon was not available for retribu-
ton. He had died In his bed six
months after Charles was beheaded
and had been hurried ignominiousIy
into his grave in WhitechapeI church.

One Brick Short.

Richard NJ. Hunt, the architect, used
to relate that in his younger days,
while supervising the erection of a
brick building, recent arrival from
Cork applied for a job and was en-
ployed as hodcarrier after being ill.,
structed that he must always carry up
fourteen bricks in his hod. One morn
ing the supply of bricks ran out, and,
do his best, the new man could find
but thirteen to put In his hod. In an.
swer to loud yell from the street one
of the masons on the sixth story
shrieked down:
What do you want?"

Nay, nay; this story of the Berlin
syndicate doesn't go with us. There
may be a syndicate-that's all right
but we don't believe it could deceive
child. Foreign noblemen may be oc-
casionally held up in that wicked city
of New York-butted into alleys and
looted by ladies of unusual appear
ance," and all that; but the titled
foreigner who doesn't by this time
know his way to the salons and the
dining-rooms and the affections of the
recently rich, can be counted on the
fingers of one-armed man.

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

When L. H. Manning, DR.. George
Martin, DR.. Olcott, Judge Cowan and
Chris christensen declined the Dem
ccratic nomination for mayor at the
convention on Wednesday evening.
the assembled Democrats came to the
conclusion that the Old Alcalde was
good for two years more-and per-
mitted Mr. Edward Hale to take the
nomination by default.
The body of the Democratic ticket
is unexceptional in strength and
character. The candidates for mem
bers of the city council are all that
could be desired. Phil Contzen for
councilman-at-large, Dan Evans for
the first ward and M. G. samaniego for
the second ward, could not well be
improved on All are reputable cit
izens, sound business men and in ev-
cry way capable of discharging the
duties for which they have been
designated. They deserve the SUD-
support of the voters generally. and
are entitled to the earnest efforts of
all Democrats to secure their election
Frank Treat, the nominee for city
recorder, James Flynn, the candidate
for assessor, Joaquin Legarra, the
candidate for treasurer, and William
Taylor, the nominee for city marshal
are excellent selections. They are of
the bone and sinew of the community.
They are we'll known to the people
They are honest and faithful and
capable. They deserve the cordial
support of the people.
1t would be the part of prudence for
the citizens of Tucson to divide the
responsibility for the city government
between the two parties. No one
questions Mayor Schumacher's hon
esty. No one doubts his desire to
administer the affairs of the municin-
ality in a spirit of progress But it
would be better for the city, with the
chief executive office in the hands of a
Republican, If the. Democrats con-
trolled the city council and the minor
executive offices. This would divide
power, the representatives of each
party would be a brake on the other
there would be strife to make good
records, and the people would be the
beneficiaries.
Treat, Flynn, Legarra, Taylor, Cont
zen, Evans and samaniego should be
elected. There are no be-ter mem in
Tucson for the offices for which thew
have been named They were the
undoubted choice of those who par
tlclpated in the Democratic mass
meeting, and have a right to com
mand the support of every Democrat
They deserve election, and we believe
they will be elected
The Tucson citizen., 1902-11-28

M. G. Samaniego is one of the solid
men of Tucson. He is a sure-enough
pioneer. He has ever been a progress
i've, enterprising, useful member of the
community. He is large taxpayer. He
has the interests of the taxpayers at
heart. He has ever been true to
every duty confided to him. AS a
member of the city council he could be
depended upon to safeguard public in
terests. He ought to be elected.

The platform of the Tucson Demo-
Gratis commits the party to reform
progress and economy. 1t does not
swim in glittering generalities like the
Republican platform, but deals with
living issues affecting the welfare of
the city. The pledges of the Dem
ocrats are sound and progressive, and
should appeal to the thoughtful voters
of the city.

In Boston every white man is pre-
sumed innocent of crime until he is
proved guilty. The presumption goes
further in the case of a negro; he is
presumed incapable of crime So
long as Millionaire Mason was sus-
pected of murder it made very little
difference, but now that evidence is
piling up against colored citizen,

A MARRIAGE SYNDICATE,

The San Francisco Chronicle.
through the medium of London at
torney, has been making contributions
to the gaiety of nations in large chunks
for couple Of weeks past, by giving
the inside history of German syndi-
cate to catch American heiresses by
the marriage route. The story, in
brief, is that several German noble
men with long pedigrees and short
purses invested themselves and their
titles in a syndicate. and employed
London attorneys to arrange for the
annexation to the titles of the daugh-
ters of American millionaires.
That there is a marriage syndicate
in Germany we are quite ready to be-
Heve. That there is another in
France, another in England and more
elsewhere is equally probable. But in
considering the question fairly and in
telligently one is bound to admit that
the most active and successful agen-
cies for transferring Americana gold to
the lean and hungry pocketbooks of
titled Europeans are conducted by the
managing mammas and papas in the
land of the free and the home of the
brave.
The San Francisco, story about the
German Baron Won Muenchhausen-
leave out two letters of that name
and you get the old familiar and de-
lightful Notwithstanding story, we
say lacks many of the features of
what in the south of France we call
vraisemblance. 1t is quite likely that
the baron was poor. That happens
frequently in Germany, even to the
noblest and best. 1t is conceivable
also, that he wished to marry some
body richly endowed with the worlds
goods. That, we may say, is epi-
demic in the upper circles. We do
not believe. however, that the alleged
syndicate in Berlin raised 1915, 900 on
the baron's note-unless they blew it
in themselves-or that out of this sum
they financed" his trip to America
in search of f1uttering damsel with
S,500,000 to hard over in exchange
for his wedding ring. That is not at
all the way we do these things here
or hereabouts.
There is not the slightest reason
why a good-looking and well-man-
nered German-and at a pinch we
sometimes pass the looks and man
ners-should pay any European to
provide him with a wealthy American
wife. He needs only to raise the
money for the trip and he can count
upon the enthusiastic cooperation of
almost any Smart" family he wants
to annex. Pork, patent medicine,
copper. whisky, soap, white goods
anything; money talks; he can
take his choice. He doesn't always
get the girl. Sometimes there is an
other fellow before him, perhaps with
a longer title, perhaps with more
desirable social encourage. That is
mere incident. The fact remains that
mamma or papa, or both-though it is
usually mamma-do all the syndicate
work necessary in this country, and
they take their fees in rapture
Money? They haven't got anything
else. Why should they charge de-
cayed count or an indigent baron for
an arrangement of which, in
faet, they themselvts are the chief ben
eficiaries?
