Who can set bounds to trolley eX
tensions in these days? Within a
wonderfully short time surface cleo
trio cars wis be running without
breaks, it is claimed, between New
York City and Boston, Washington
and other large cities. No one of
these lines, however, should be per-
mitted to ruin the boulevards and
pleasure drives in suburban districts.
The trolley companies should pur-
chase the right of way, as the steam
railroads do, contends the New York
Tribune.

Asia Minor suffers as greatly from
earthquakes as Mexico, perhaps more
so. The calamity which has now
oVertaken Shamaka, over near the
Caspian sea, was paralleled at Achal
kalek about two years ago. About 600
people were killed at that time. Only
few months before 1900 lives were
lost in the province of Smyrna, on the
Mediterranean. Shamaka has been
particularly famous for such shocks,
but in spite of them was long a place
of official residence, and even now is
the centre of large silk industry.

1t is officially announced that the
government profited last year to the
extent of a half million dollars be-
cause of postal orders that were sent
and never called for. We accept the
fact, but not the explanation, says the
Detroit Free Press. Americans are
proverbially careless in money mat
tiers, but they have a thriftiness that
would at least impel them to visit the
postoffice and exchange signature
for ready money. AS rule those who
get a remittance in this way need it
and are sufficiently interested to go
after it. 1t is a more reasonable ex.
PLANTATION that the great majority Of
these postal notes did not reach their
destination, and upon this follows the
conclusion that the government should
provide greater safety for those de.
Iivering money to it for others.
In regard to Great Britain's food
supply and possible danger to it by
reason of foreign war the British con.
troversialists seem to be substantially
agreed upon the facts, and to differ
only in the conclusions to be drawn
from them. The facts are, briefly, that
the United Kingdom needs abount 240,.
100000 bushels of wheat annually, and
raises les than 55,000,000 bushels by
home agriculture. Of the home prod.
uct at least onefifth must be kept for
seed, so that the country is depend.
ent upon foreigners for about four.
fifths of its breadstuff supply. There
is no effort made to accumulate gran.
ary stores. The British millers buy
options in wheat, which is drawn from
foreign granaries as needed. 1t fire..
quently happens that the entire avail.
able stock on hand at one time in the
United Kingdom does not exceed
$4,000 900 bushels-about three

time there is never a four months

BURT ALvORD AT CANANEA.

Burt Alvord and Bravo Juan are at
present hiding in the Cananeas and in
the vicinity of the Puertecitas mine.
Reports were brought to Cananea
that Alvord and his Mexican partner
had been seen near the PuerteCitas
mine several times by different part
les. but little faith was placed in the
reports. ABOUT II o'clock Thursday,
the second. man with heavy beard,
accompanied by a Mexican, came into
ProCtOrs saloon. and after taking a
drink, went over to a roulette table
and gambled for about half an hour
winning about $40, then turning to
one of the onlookers at the game,
asked if he came from Bisbee. On
being told that he had. Alvord said;
When you go back if you see Del
Lewis. tell him 'howdy' for me and
say that Burt Alvord is making 1t all
right. and tell Captain Mossman that
we wont bother him and his rangers
for while yet We have enough
money to live upon for few months
and we like the Cananeas pretty we'll. >"
Without bidding the Bisbee man good
bye. Alvord and the Mexican left the
saloon. Billy Stiles, who figured so
prominently in the Alvord case in
Tombstone, is at present driving an
ore team at the Puertecitas mine and
it is thought by many living in IAN
anea. that Alvord is lowering around
the Cananeas with the hope OF getting
a chance to kill Stiles. as Alvord has
sworn to do so.-Bisbee Review.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 15.--
Senator Bacon wears an odd scarf pin
1t has history.
When Mr.. Bacon was ON his trip to
the Philippines he stopped at the Is
land of Ceylon, and while there was
shown a camp of Boer prisoners. Al
ways an earnest supporter of the
Boer cause, he was anxious to see and
talk with the men who had suffered
so much for liberty. The British Of
ticers did not object to his visit to the
/, prison camp but they would not con-
sent to any conversation. Mr.. Bacon,
therefore contented himself with mer
ely raising his hat to the poor fellows
and showing his sympathy by a
hearty handshake In one part of the
camp, however, was a young Boer girl
who had for safe some cOwrie shells.
These are rather rare products OF ma
ture, so rare indeed that they are used
as sort of primitive money. Mr..
Bacon bought handful of these shells
as a modest contribution to the Boer
cause, and when he reached Japan, had
them mounted as scarfpins One of the
unique shells is worn by him daily,
and every time that he looks at it he
remembers the suffering Beers.
The pin looks like a pearl. except
that upon the under side is the open
ing which shows its shell-like nature.
When Senator Perkins was mer-
chandsing in California in hisyounger
days, there came to his town a man
who claimed to possess a prodigious
memory He could perform all man
ner of mental tasks. BY a clever
trick Senator Perkins shared with
him the distinction of being also man
who could remember anything.
Mr. Perkins told the man to write
down list Of names which he would
dictate BY the time the list was com
pleted there was at least a hundred
names-all odd sorts of names which
had apparently no connection with
each other. Now" said Mr.. Perkins

tried TO kill Francisco Lopez early
Monday morning at the Roma Saloon.
Those that witnessed the shooting said
they regretted that the aim had been
so defective The intended victim
had been making love to Thayer's
wife, who Is a Mexican. Thayer has
been married for several years and has
three children. to whom he Is very
much attached. About a month ago
he discovered the relations between
his wife and Lopez and he went home
and taxed her with infldelity. In the
quarrel that followed he choked her
into insensbility and the neighbors
who were attracted by the disturb
ance thought for time that she was
dead. Nothing more was heard about
the affairs of the Thayers until Mon
day when Lopez was standing In front
of the Roma saloon talking to Te0-
dora Olea. Thayer came along and
suddenly drew revolver and fired at
him. He had a narrow escape, for the
bullet was buried in the door IAN at

and was taken to the county Jail, where
it was supposed that the shot had been
fired by a drunken man without any
motive and without any special target.

Sport In the ra-stsah Army.

Our garrison towns represent a
state of things utterly opposed to the
idea of n vigorous prosecution of the
war. Numerous officers in possession
of staff bi.lets are snugly ensconcing
themselves in comfortable bunga lows,
obtaining lodging" instead of field"
allowance, and drawing ration allow
ances. In fact, the liberal allowances
to officers in South Africa seem to
counterbalance their desire for the
end of the war. Sport is all very well
in its way, but on active service the
care of golf links and tennis courts
should not exercise officers ablityand

that Perry Belmont was defeated for

that Mr.. Belmonts ambitions ran con-
