WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.


WASHINGTON, July 9, 1902.
The visitor at the White House during
the past week must have experienced
surprise to find the Chief Executive tram
sacting business in such wholly unsuitable
and inadequate surroundings. The TEN
porary White House." which will remain
the office and residence if he is in Wash
ington, of the President until the reno
walton of the White House proper has
been completed, is very ordinary pri-
vate residence which has been rented
UNFINISHED, and no great attempt has
been made at furnishing it. Some of the
antiquated furniture, which did not look
seriously out of place in the old White
House, has been placed in the rooms.
What was the front parlor is now used as
a reception room and in it is large table
devoted to the use of the newspaper cor
respondents The dining room was used
by the President for his private Office and
as "Cabinet room" The second floor of
the house is devoted to the private use of
the President and the top floor is occu-
pied by the regular clerical force of the
White House.

that it requires no further legislation to
make it effective, is perhaps the most
complete bill passed by the Fifty-seventh

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. Ex-Governor
Brodte today appointed William M.
Griffith of Tucson superintendent Of
the Territorial prison at Yuma.
The determination of Governor Bro
die to make this appointment was
announced in The Citizen before Gov
ernor Brodie took the oath of office. 1t
was denied by some papers that pre-
tended to be close to Governor Brodie
at the time but todays act of the ex-
ecutiye has confirmed the accuracy Of
The Citizens report.
1t is expected that Colonel Griffith
will take charge of the prison on the
1st of September.
1t is believed here that Governor
Brodie will name the new board of re-
gents for the University this week.

was more or less the tool of Frederick
Baker. a supposed millionaire, who
was a depositor in the bank, while
Seeley was $35-a-week bookkeeper.
When the expose came Bakers body
was found floating in the river.
1t was back in 1885 that the crime of
ten years duration was began. Baker
overdrew his account at that time to
the extent of $1,100 and Seeley had
passed his check. Bakers oily tongue
found an easy victim, and soon Seeley
was passing his checks for any
amount.
In 1895 the crash came. Seeley was
tried and sentenced to eight years in
prison, with an allowance of two years
and eight months for good behavior
While in prison his wife, who had
stood by him through his trouble,
learned that she had a rival, and she
secured a divorce.
Seeley was released from prison IN
May 1900, when he went west and en-
gagged in mining Enterprises. 1t is
said that under an assumed name he
cleaned an immense fortune in Arizo-
ma and Northern Mexico.

These things" said Dr. Andrews,

DR.. Andrews's theory is that the

wearied by an eternal ding dong of
religious training; that the child's S
heart should not be terrified by a
mental picture of an avenging God;
that the child's soul should not be
forced and bound by set of creeds

not be set in revolt by the use of re-

WASHINGTON, Aug. PA suspi-

Grand Marshal of the great parade of

was announced at the local headQuar-

be chosen to head this procession,
which is usually one of the most at
tractive features of the annual reunion
of the veterans. To be grand marshal
of such an impressive pageant would
be very much to the lieutenant gen.

greater still when he informed them
that he had amassed an immense fort

That truth is stranger than fiction

MARICOPh COUNTY
REGARDED UNCERTAIN
Friends OF Shannon and wilson
Make Claims. but Matters
Seem TO Be- Mixed

PHOENIX. Ariz.. Aug. 25.-The re-
suit of the Democratic primaries held
in MaricOpa county Saturday leaves
unsettled whether Shannon or Wilson
will have the support of Maricopa
county in the Territorial convention.
Enough delegates to the county con-
yention are unpledged to leave it IN
certain which candidate for Dele
gate got the best Of the fight. Both
sides are making claims. The Shan
non men say they will have a majority
in the county convention, and the Will
son men put forth the same claim. It
is not likely that either has a pledged
majority of the delegates. and that the
battle will have to be Tough out in the
Tempe convention on Wednesday.
Wilson carried three wards in Phoa-
nix and Shannon one, but it is evident
that Shannon had the best Of it in the
precincts outside the city. In many
of the outlying precincts the candi-
dates for Delegate to Congress was not
an issue, and the men selected as del
egates to the county convention re-
ceiyed no instruction from the Demo-
cratic voters.
1t is very probable that there will
be enough unpledged delegates in the
Tempe convention to hold the balance
of power between those who are
pledged, an the politicians are looking
forward to an interesting meeting

He has now contracted for a cable

He is now selling liquor in his own
town, and under his own mayor and

Great crowds f1ocked into GilIesp;e's

To sum the matter up, he owns the
town, collects the rents and can control
the corporation taxes and fines of
those who are drunk and disorderly

them in his lookup. All the land and
buildings being his, he can make i'm

He also owns a whole street in Hen
