Body Guard for Senator Plat.
(Chicago Record-Herald.l

Senator Platt never is without a body
guard these days. He has a constant
dread of paralysis and wishes to have
some one near should the stroke come.
His health is much impaired and he has
much difficulty in getting about because
OF his weakness For the last seven
weeks Frank Gillespie. a former captain
of the fire department, has been con
stantly at Platts side. The senator and
his bodyguard met for the first time two
months ago. Plat and a young woman
on that occasion boarded a car on Broad
way. The senator ,hesitated as he
climbed the steps and the former fire
captain assisted him. The motorman
started the car with a jerk and Platt
tell back into Gillespie's arms. The lat
ter helped him TO seat. The next day
Platt sent for Gillespie and offered him
$40 week to attend him. The offer was
accepted at once and ever since then Gil
lespie has been by the side of Plat.

WOMEN AND THE CUSTOMS.

A GROUP OF NEW YORKS best
y known and wealthiest society
women has forwarded to President
Roosevelt a protest against the exist
ing customs regulations as enforced at
the mort of New York. 1t is not likely
that the president viii make any
changes. nor should he make any.
Some cases there may be Of unfair
treatment by customs inspectors, but
they are not numerous enough to war
rant the adjustment of a system that
has been productive of so many good
results:
The women say
Every artit thdt has been de-
clared is subject to examination by
an appraiser, who does not accept
receipted bills as proof. but pre-
supposes them to be fraudulent.
Not content with examining arti-
cIes declared as new. old clothing
is infinitely examined and duty
often imposed upon it at the caprice
of the appraiser The trunks are
emptied on the wharf, impertinent
questions are asked and remarks
made which are humiliating and in
tolerable. Such proceedings lead to
falsehood in self-defense, and the
undersigned humbly beg that such
measures be taken, in regard to the
administration of the law, as viii
cause their return to their native
land to cease to be d source Of
dread to truthful, self-respecting
women"
If the inspectors refuse to accept the
word of incoming travellers or their
sworn statements. it is hard to see
where the temptation to falsehood finds
foothold. The complaint. as The Her
aid understands it, arises from the fact
tbat the inspectors insist on examining
every article contained in the incoming
trunks and fixing a lawful duty on all
dutiable goods. It is unquestionably
true that some honest women may
have their feelings hurt and their tenn
pers rufied. but the large increase in
the customs collected is justification
enough for ths system.
The women who make the protest
ere thoroughly honest, beyond a doubt,
but they are playing into the hands of
dishonest men and women when they
ask that the baggage examinations be
discontinued. The temptation to false
hood under the present state Of affairs
is not nearly so apparent as the temp
tation to smuggle is the returning tray
eler knows his or her statement is to
he accepted without question.
OF course. it really isn't any of our
business, but we can't help suggesting
one method by which the women can
be relieved of all possibility of annoy

The Curtiss band, under the leader

other entertaining concert at the Park
last night and delighted several hum
dred people. Prof Peters. the able mu
stefan who heads this musical Organi-

certs. MIR. Peters displays excellent
taste in the selection OF his musical

ATTEMPTED HOLDUP
And Rolling" Enterprise that Was
Nipped in the Bud.

There was an attempted hold-up Sun
day morning about O'Clock near the
corner CO Fifth and jefferson streets
in which a good bluff was made on both
sides and no money charged hands.
AT the intersection of these streets,
on the southeast corner, stands q big
billboard. Sam Anderson was passing
by it when an individual stepped out
with something in his hands that might
have been only q club but looked like to
Mr.. Anderson like a machine gun. His
appearance on the scene was contem-
poraneouS with q remark couched in
straight English and ending with an
epithet. The meat of the salutation di-
rected the instant elevation of Mr.. An

Anderson's reply as he thrust his right
toward his pistol pocket. The bluff
vas coed and the man jumped back
behind the bill board to escape the
threatened rain OF bullets. But NJ. An
derson had no gun and utilized the next
two seconds in covering a hundred
yards toward the city hall. He was not
pursued and soon had the robbers bull

TRUTHFUL YOUNG MAN
Stranger Came Clear From Chicago
to Prove HIS Statement.

In the early spring a gentleman en-
gagged in a line of business that has
agencies all over the west came to
Phoenix for the first time in the in
terest of his employers. He was from
chicago and was strictly up TO date
we'll dressed, well groomed and alto
gether gentleman of very striking ap-
pearance. Though not a. military man.
he wore coat with a military cut, but
toned up close to the chin. and had he
desired to do so he could have passed
fer retired general.
His business is of a professional ma
ture and entails vast amount of cor
respondence. lnquiring for competent
stenographer he was directed to Ernest
Tharnish, whose office is in the board
of trade room and whose Remington
mill stands nearby the boards min
eral exhibit
After the business of the hour had

Tnarnish and inquired if it got yer hot
here in the summer. He was evidently
thinking of his military coat and future
visits to Phoenix. Mr.. Tharnish replied
that indeed it does get very hot here
sometimes. Why" he said. I've seen
the sun shine through that window in
the early summer and heat up that pill,
OF ore there so it would not cool off till
away long in the fall somtime." The
stranger made no reply and shortly
took his leave.
A day or two ago a gentleman OF
| heavy build walked into the board OF
trade office and asked Mr. Tharnish TO
dc little typewriting for him. The
man was attired in linen pants turned
up at the bottom so that he could not
drown in his own perspiration. neg
| ligee shirt and a Chinese hat that only
| touched his head in two or three places
In his left hand he carried a fan which
he was agitating to beat the band. and

brow. He Looked round for a moment
and then reaching over laid his HAND

proceeded to business.

STREET CAR ACCIDENT
NJ ]. Galpin Thrown From a Car and
Severely Shocked.

NJ. ]. Galpin was severely shocked
BY electricity last evening a little after
o'clock, and though he was thought
at first to be badly injured it is now
believed no serious results will follow.
He was going north on the First
street car line and was standing on the
rear platform. AS the car crossed Van
Buren, street the trolley wire came
down and the next seen of Mr.. Galpin
he was lying on the ground uncon-
scicus. Some one on the car said he
jumped off to escape what he believed
10 be impending danger. but the nature
Of his injury suggests that he was
thrown off the car, and he was not in

e BOY BADLY HURT
Sammy Lyke Fell From a Wagon,
Wheel Crushing His Leg.

An accident occurred on South Cen
ter street late Saturday afternoon as
Z result of which Sammy, the four
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Lyke. came very near losing his lie
and may be a cripple the rest Of his
days. A narrowing feature of the cir
cumstance is the stupidity that seemed
TO direct the action of the only grown
person present at the time.
Mr. and Mrs. LyjSe's two boys, aged
lour and six years, together With i
seven-year-old boy named Hansan,
We're playing on South Center street
when a team belonging to James Riley
came along the road going toward thu
river after a load of sand. The team
was driven by a Mexican and the sand
vas to be taken to a brickyard south
OF town. The Mexican being a good
natured fellow, the boys climbed or the
wagon and rode to the river.
After the wagon was loaded they
climbed on again for the ride home.
The wagon had not proceeded far wfea
the youngest boy, Sammy. fell to the
ground and enc wheel of the wagon
passed over his right leg above the
knee, crushing the bone.
The Mexican stopped the wagon and
laid the little fellow on the load again.
continuing his drive toward the city.
Thus far he had done all that sensi-
bic and right minded person could do.
But when he reached the point where
the read to the brickyard turned off
the little fellow had become uncon-
scious. as he had ceased his moaning
The driver stopped and after placing
the little sufferer on the ground by the
side of the read, drove on to the brick
yard. This is the act that seemed SO
| inhumanly cruel but it should be said
in the Mexican's behalf that though
| the bone was crushed the skin was not
| broken. and 1t is altogether likely that
he did not realize how badly the boy
was hurt.
The other two boys not knowing wha
to do decided that the first thing OF
course would be to get their injured
companion home. Having no appre-
citation of how serious his condition was
they tried to carry him but could only
succeed in dragging him. They hac
proceeded some distance when a mar
named Priester happened to see then
and coming to their assistance picked
the little fellow up and carried hin
home.
Dr. Craig was sent for at once ant
he called in DIR. Stroud in consultation
1t is their opinion that though the bon
is crushed amputation will not b.
necessary and that the boy will make

CRANBERRY SAUCE.
Conditions of Marshes Indicate a
Heavy Crop.

Sandwich. Mass. July 13.-Reports
from cranberry growers of Cape Cod
and Plymouth county are that the crop
this season will be larger than for
many years.
While a great many boys suffered
damage during the past winter from
the frigid weather and the fireworks
have since played havoc with number
of them. there are hundreds of acres of
rev boys in bearing condition. and
all these are heavily blossomed, ana
give promise of bearing big crop.
It is probable that the harvesting
season will be begun at an earlier date
this year than ever before. The early
blacks will be picked and shipped TO
market, the late Berries being allow ed
to remain on the vines until the usual
time.
The early berries, large percentage

and IA ms. His hands though We're not
burned and there seemed to he no sur
face wounds. He was given an opiate
To relieve the pain and went to sleep
peacefully.
1t is thought that when the wire fell
on the car connection was made with
some of the metal fixtures to which he
was holding and that the shock was
not only severe on his hands and arms
but at once threw him to the ground.
He is a large man. and it is likely he
will feel pretty sore from his fall. but
the effect of the shock will proba

Mr.. Lyke is not at home and yester-
day Mrs. Lyke sent for the pol!-e,

or not any action could or should be
taken against the Mexican. Officer
Russell thought the least he could do
would be to find him and get his story
Of the incident. He first hunted up

of it. and together they spent 4 good
part of Sunday trying to find him
