The Proposed New Money.

The scheme which has been devised for system of check money and has been put before congress is what is known as the McMillan- Gardner post check bill is receiving very general indorsement, especially from news papers and business men who receive numerous payments in small sums through the mails.
 The plan proposed is to reprint all S1, S2 and 5 treasury notes, coin and silver certificates now in circulation and have the faces of the new bills provided with blank lines for name of payer and payee, as on check. This would be the ordinary money of the day. Then when when one wishes to send money by mail, say S2, he takes such a bill from his pocketbook, writes on its face the name of person or firm it is to go to, the city and state, and affixes two-cent stamp in the square indicated (one-cent stamp for fractional bills) cancelling the stamp with his initials and date and signs his name on the back. The bill, which previously was negotiable money, is instantly transformed into a personal check on the United States government for S2, as safe for trans mission as any bank check. This is inclosed in a letter to the person or firm desired and can be collected by the receiver upon identification at the postoffice named.

kcCIure's For April.

Besides capital assortment of fic- ton, McClure's Magazine for April contains four articles of exceptional interest, one of which is of very pres ent importance. This is The Over worked President" by Lincoln Stef- fens. In form of a straightforward mar rative of day passed at the White House, it is telling arraIgnment of the system that subjects great part of the Presidents working day to a ceaseless harrassment of trivial inter ruptions.
 Just as timely is Henry Herbert McClure's Messages from Mid Ocean" the story of Marconi's latest triumph. The writer of the article is a personal friend of the inventor, and tells in Marconi's own words many facts heretofore unpublished about the remarkable series of mes sages received on the Philadelphia" on her now famous voyage.
 Of quite unique interest is Captain Prentice's description of life, "On the Dry Tortugas," where, at the close of the Civil War, were confined the Union soldiers sentenced for deser- ton and breaches of discipline, and of which garrison Captain Prentice was in command. Hithei also were sent the notorious Lincoln Conspir- ators," of whom the article has nat urally much of historical value to tell.
 John La Farge's essay on Rem brandt appears in this number, the third of his Great Artists" series, which is one of the most notable fea- lures in this years magazines.

 Considerable regret is expressed at the sad bereavement of the Ehle family in Skull Valley, at the loss of their mother, who died of typhoid pneumonia. Two other members of the same family are dangerously i'll with the same sickness. News today at Kirkland reported one of them as being out of danger.

Death in the Milk,

Another page of sorrow in the fam fly history of Chas. F. Van Leuven was closed Tuesday evening, when Mrs. Van Leuyen passed into the val ley of the shadow, joining her 4-year- old daughter who died scarcely three weeks ago, and leaving behind grief stricken husband and two children, less than 6 years of age, both sick and believed to be slowly dying.
 Mrs. Van Leuven's death was due to quick consumption, presumbly contracted from drinking milk taken from a COW that was afflicted with tu- berculosis. The little child that died three weeks ago was afflicted with the same disease that has carried away the mother and the two other children are suffering with the same ailment. Mir. Van Leuven alone seems to have escaped the disease. San Bernardino Sun.

Socialist Party.

The Santa Fe New Mexican says that the time is coming when the two great parties of the United States will be the Republican and Socialist parties. The latter is not a new party; its doctrines in one form or another being advocated these past two thousand years. In Germany it is by far the most prosperous party today, and in Great Britain, France, Austria, Italy and other European countries it is very strong numer- ically. Only of late years, however, in the United States has it been mak- ing any progress, although both the Democratic and Republican parties have more or less accepted a few of its least objectionable tenets. Car ried to extreme, socialism will destroy personal freedom and individuality and make every human being a part of the vast government machine.

4 Fine Issue.

The May number of the Delineator is the third of the spring issues in both fashion and literary features and is the most notable of the season. With the many artistic designs for garments for late spring wear come advance summer fashions from the hands of eminent designers, and in attractiveness these styles have prob ably never been surpassed. Anarticle of especial interest at this season is on graduation dresses. The chief literary contribution is The Educa- tional Value of Some Recent Plays, written by Norman Hapgood, and splendidly illustrated. Dr. Elliott's recollections of the child Patti, at the time of her first benefit, make one of the most delightful papers in the ser ies of Notable Women; and in diff ferent vein Clara E. Laughlin tells the story of the gifted Shelley's un- fortunate marriage and its results. For the children Lima Beard intro duces some new and interesting Pas times.

 THE FAIRY GOD-MOTHER
 is a very pretty invention. But the real fairy god-mother is the natural mother of the child. It is she who must endow her child with health from which springs all other endowments desirable for humanity.
 The way to have healthy children is to be healthy. But how to be healthy is the vexing question for women. Is the mother to blame because she IS nerv- ous, because her appetite fails and her strength wanes, because she IS sleepless and Respondent? One cannot blame the woman whose only failing IS that she does not know how to change her condition. Yet woman's health is practically in her own control If she is weak she can be made strong. If she is sick she can be made well. The experience of other women shows that the rose of mother hood can be stripped of its thorns by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription

CAUSE FOR coNGRATULATIoN.

The news published in yesterdays Journal Miner announcing that an edict had gone forth: to rehabilitate Whipple barracks at once was re- ceived by our people with great satis faction. It is welcome news not only to Prescott but to the entire territory. It would .now seem that the dire threat alleged to have been uttered by General Miles some years ago that he would cause grass to grow in the streets of Prescott might not be fulfilled, particularly so far as the benefits of a military post might tend to prevent it. While it is not denied that it will be of material benefit to Prescott and that our people have d more or less selfish interest in working to secure its establishment, it is d benefit to the territory as we'll. Prescott is not alone in a selfish de sire to have a military post either, as many towns much larger have coveted a similar prize and have bent every possible energy to secure one.
 It is a benefit to the government and to its soldiers to have a post here, too. The government owns the grounds and buildings, thus giving the foundation for such an institu- ton. The location is an ideal one both from strategic point as well as from sanitary point of view, as no more healthy location could be found, so that the results which will be de- rived from the order issued yesterday will be mutually beneficial.
 The credit for securing favorable action is due largely, and in fact al most solely, to F. NJ. Murphy, who, with his brother, Governor \. O. Murphy, have worked necessarily for the accomplishment of this purpose. Twice before the information was given out that an order had been is sued to the same effect, but for vari- ous reasons they were never executed. In spite of disappontments however, Mir. Murphy has clung tenaciously to it until at last it seems as though he is about to witness a successful culmination of hisefforts. Among the general benefciaries of the garrisoning of Whipple, of course, the Santa Fe and $. F. P. & P. railroad companies will by no means be the least, as the traffic ac- cruing from military post is a very important item.

4 Gladiator Shooting.

James Cash, a we'll known teamster and miner in this section, came into town today from Alexandra and reported to the officers that he had shot Ed Marlow, at that place, last night. It seems that Cash had surprised Marlow in compromising position with the formers wife and fired load of buckshot into his leg almost severing that member from his body. A physician was sent to the scene of the shooting and found the limb in such a condition that ampu- tation was necessary.
 Cash is reported as most peaceble and law abiding citizen, having re- sided in this section for many years.

New Electric Invention.

The Palmer Dascomb Selective Call Bell" has been patented by Charles H. Dascomb, conductor on the Santa Fe between Albuquerque and Fl Paso, and William Palmer, of Rincon. The object is to provide a means whereby one bell in party line may be rung without ringing any of the other bells on the line. The appliance can be applied to either a telephone line or be used by train dispatcher by placing a bell in the operators room at different stations. In this way one man can do the work at many stations where it is now necessary to have a day and a night man. There will be great saving in telephone service as the invention permits any number of bells to be placed on the line.-Albuquerque Citizen,

The Chanseling Child.
The Scientific Explanation of the Change Formerly Alt
 tributed to the Fairies.

In folk lore stories there is frequent mention of changelings children who were changed by fairy influence. Some loving wife and proud husband found their child weak of body, and some times weak of mind. It grew up to be fretful, sullen and perhaps spiteful. It seemed impossible that love could bring such a child into the world. So the child was called fairy change ling, a child substituted by the fairies for one whom in their envy for its lovli- ness they had carried away.
 We hear no more of fairy stories. Stern science says that healthy and lovely children must have healthy par ents, and that when the mother in her days of waiting and anticipation is

E. 1. Roberts Death.

Although sick for years, death came last evening at few minutes past ' o'clock rather unexpectedly to E. I. Roberts, an old timer of this sec tion. Deceased had been afflicted with lung trouble for a great many years, but was able to be around until month ago when his health began to fail quite rapidly. He was able to be down town on Wednesday and even yesterday walked out in the yard. About half past six o'clock his condition was noticed to be alarming and absent members of the family were hastily summoned and scarcely had they reached there when he breathed his last. He and his wife had planned to go to Congress with in day or two in the hopes of ob- taining relief for him, but relief came in another and unexpected form.
 Mir. Roberts was born in Wales and early in life emigrated to Australia, where his children were born and where his wife died. With his little children, four in number, he returned from Australia, married his present wife and in 1870 settled in the state of Kansas, remaining there for five years, when he came to Arizona with his family, being a member of the Callen party, Even at this time he was severe sufferer with lung trou- ble and it was not thought that he could live long. The climate how ever was of benefit to his health and he no doubt added a great many years to his life by his removal to Arizona.
 Deceased was 68 years of age and was a highly respected citizen of the community and a devout and con- sistent member of the Congregational church and a man whose daily life was an exemplification of the princi- ples he professed. Besides his wife three sons and a daughter survive him, all of whom are grown and mar ried, and are Mrs. John Hartin, Joseph l., John and Ed Roberts.
