Fire at Octave.

The little town of Octave, in the Weaver mining district, was gutted by fire Tuesday night, four buildings being destroyed, making a total loss of something over S3,000. The fire was first discovered in the business part of the town, and it was by hard work of the citizens that the place was not entirely swept away. Two of the buildings burned were occu- pied by saloons, the third a general store and the fourth a residence. Several houses adjoining were dam aged considerably by the flames. The saloons belonged to Tomas Perez and Francisco Contrares. The store was owned by M. Concuvlin, and the residence belonged to an Italian woman. There was very lit tie, if any, insurance on any of the buildings or contents.

TOO MUCH HUSTLE.

4 philosophically inclined ex- change moralizes thus upon the over strenuousness of modern day
 methods:
 Do our business men get more out of life than their forefathers got out of it hundred years ago? In cer- tain directions it is quite evident that they do. There are more ways of having fun, there are more things to do, it Is far easier to go about. And yet it seems to be true, also, that people have less time nowadays, and take less real, solid comfort, than did their grandfathers. It has been lately discovered that the individual of today Is fifty times as able to sup ply his material wants as was the individual of one hundred years ago. That is to say. the productive power of the race has increased fifty fold. It would seem reasonable to suppose that under these condition a man to- day would have far more iei sure than ever man had before. But the truth Is the man of today is dreadfully pressed for time; he is driven to death" as he sometimes puts it, by his terrible social and business re responsibilities. He rushes off from a nasty breakfast to board an express train, to be whirled 10 his telephone and typewriter and other devices for saving time. Everybody, nowadays, is out of politeness, supposed to be over head and ears busy-busy in trade, busy in his profession, busy socially. We are continually hearing people say, I have no time for anvthing.' It Is the fashion to be overwhelmed with engagements and pressed for time. Personal letters are dasheI off on a typewriter, because this sug- gests rushing employment; and the result is that the growing generation of young men does not know how to write letter with the proper forms of salutation and superscription.
 Now the moral of this tale is that while a moderate degree of hustle may be a good thing, it is possible to take an overdose and then it becomes a bad thing. If We are indeed ter riblv rushed,' driven to death and it is not with us a huge joke, or an assumed affectation, and instead of being the masters of time. we are really the slaves Of time. and things have got Us under the saddle and are riding us, we would do well 10 go out some quiet night and sit down under the stars, and ask ourselves what we are here for, and whether We are really getting the best out Of life, . and perhaps they will say to us as they said to Emerson, Why so hot, . my little manF"

He reports his father, William Stapps, one of the oldest settlers in Yavapai, as growing in grace and theological learning. This makes the conjectur CTS, weather prophets and guessers surmise that he may soon return, like St. Patrick of Ireland, to lead the unregenerated Kirklanders and Skull Vallians into the fold of the Good Shepherd.

A train robbery occurred on Mon day night on the Denver & Rio Grande narrow gauge, at Chester, Colo, 250 miles west of Denver. The engineer was compelled at the point of a revolver to stop the train by masked men, who climbed over the tender. Two safes in the express car were blown open, but it is claimed by officers of the Rio Grande Express company the robbers failed to secure any plunder from the safes. The passengers were compelled to alIght from the cars and line up along the side of the tracks in the canyon, and they were relieved of all their money and valuables. Many passengers threw away their money, watches and jewelry among the rocks before the robbers searched them. There were many tourists among the passengers, and while it is not known how much the robbers secured from them it is presumed the losses were heavy. The train was the west bound narrow gauge passenger train which left Denver Sunday night. It is not known how many passengers were aboard, but the cars are usually at this sea son all filled. There were four masked robbers, and after searching the passengers they escaped into the mountains. The scene of the robbery is wild, mountainous country at the foot of Marshall Pass on the west slope.
 The four robbers mounted horses and disappeared in the ravines in the direction of Marshall Pass. The train returned to Denver. The sheriff there and in adjoining counties were immediately notified, and soon a dozen posses were mounted and in pursuit of the outlaws. Engineer Rutland was struck over the head with Winchester in the hands of the robbers and badly hurt. He brought his train to Denver, how ever.

His Steamship Combine Looked Upon as Sign of National Decay and Menace to British
 Prestige.

It Is not strange that the English people are worried over the purchase of British steam lines by J. Pierpont Morgan, because for many years England has looked upon her navy as her chief defense and upon her merchant marine as the chief deIense of her trade In 1860 the merchant marine of the United States ex- c2eded that of Great Britain. The California trade hai made this possi- pie. But it was only for a short time. The great civil war in ouI country came on; the privateers of the Con- federacy were sent out: the Ameri-
