This is the most important capture made in Arizona in recent years. Cha con is a Chihuahua Mexican, who for a long time terrOrIzed the country about Clifton and committed a hali dczen murders. About six years ago he murdered a woman in that part of the country and was arrested. He was convicted at Solomonville, and was serteheed to be hanged. A short time before the date of his execution he broke jail, along with several other prisoners. It was at first thought that he had gone to Mexico, but before long he was heard of in the neighborhood of Clifton. He became the leader of a band of outlaws operating in the east ern part of the territory. with head quarters on Black river.
 The depredatiCns of this gang. more than anything else, was responsible for the law creating 1he Arizona Rangers, and Captain Mossman was induced to head the organization more by his wish to capture Chacon than by any other consideration Captain Mossman re- tired from the head of the organization the first c: this month, but he has successfully pursued his purpose to rid the territory of the worst criminal in it.

up farming. A new department of
learning is to be installed, which will
teach young women scientific garden
ing-how to treat diseased wheat and
grain and how to become expert graft

Advocate. The promoters of the new
idea at Wellesley assert that no other
female institution in America pos
sesses equal advantages and facilities
to conduct such a department and as
an argument point to the spacious,
well-kept grounds of the college I'D
the world-famed Hunnewen estate,
with its magnificent greenhouses. Be

will be an up-to-date dairy, in which
students will learn the science of per-
feet butter-making. In a poultry-yard
they will learn to rear and feed chick

Here is a pen picture of James r.
Keene, the Wall street Spectator,
drawn by a writer in the Cosmopoli-
tan: "A man past 60. tall. slender,
with a marvelously well-shaped head;
hair and beard half gray. bushy eye
brows; fierce. feline eyes-cold, with
curious menacing look or cleaning
with sardonic humor-made restless
as Gagged tiger by the wear and tear
of a lifetime of stock gambling, yet
with nerves of steel; cynical in his
views of mems motives; possessing
literary style of remarkable lucidity
and distinction, yet habitually over
strong of spoken language. a man of
culture. yet q crony of race track ha-
bitues; coldly calculating as Talley-
rand. yet impulsive as a schoolgirl; a
surprisingly keen judge of security
values. yet often an investor in worth
less shares; possessing the great gift
of patience in his campaigns. yet the
most dashing operator in Wall street:
extravagantly generous with some
who serve him and incredibly insen-
sible to gratitude with others; often
distrustful of disinterested friends.
and as often vfctimized by not over
plausible adventures; full OF contra
dictions as of abilities-such is James

and several times when the cat left
home" Jocko went and brought her
back. Quarrels between the two
became SO frequent that Mr.. Mil
Ter decided to get rid of one or the
other. So the monkey was sold last
week to a dealer in Chicago.
But when poor Jocko had been cart

back, and the cat wept miserably-
For two whole nights the cat kept up
a pathetic call for the absent one.

a liking for Jocko also had some

off to the city with instructions to
buy him back This he did. Mr..
Miller sold the monkey for $40 less
than he had paid for it originally,
and on the second purchase paid $40
more than he sold it for. Jocko is
very popular in Washington Heights.
On Sunday mornings he goes up town

times by stealthy foray into the
pantry or some house where Jocko
had calling acquaintance.
In the crisis that must come into
the life of any ordinary kitten Jocko
was a valiant and ever-ready cham
pion. When mischievous boys or
passing dogs threatened it with real
or fancied danger the monkey made
horrible grimaces and pelted them
with stones. When the battle grew
too hot Jocko would tuck the kitten
under its arm and ascend to the top
of the house. When aroused to
frenzy the monkey often shook the
kitten at it's tormentors, threatening
to hurl puss at them. But he never
did so and the kitten thrived on.
When night came Jocko took his
little protege to bed. Going to bed
involved a leap of a dozen feet to a
little cage in the fork of a tree, and
this matter of retiring has always
been fearful strain upon the nerves
of the kitten.

NO FEAR OF DEATH

Himself, Read at the Funeral Of
A. D. Scarf of LeadviIie, Colo
Some Beautiful Thoughts.

The funeral of the late A. D. Scarf.
the eccentric agnostic who has gain
ed considerable notoriety here
abouts, took place on Wednesday
under the auspices of the local Grand
army post, says correspondent at
Leadville, Colo Mr.. Scarf, who was
one of the pioneers of the Leadvi1le
district, made a special request that
no religious exercises be held at his
funeral, but he himself prepared and
had read a remarkable address touch
ing on his own peculiar religious be-
lief. In it he said:
81 have long been convinced that
all religions are of human origin and
frauds that only gain credence

ton. Its capacity for music or it's
tone is its soul, and though it's tone
and its capacity for music ceases
when the material flute is destroyed.
still the effect of that music, which
it discoursed while the instrument
was in existence, still goes on Great
ing, forming and moldmg thoughts
feelings and actions in those who
have heard it. And SO on forever
every act of our lives, every word We
speak, every thought we think has its
unending influence in the endless
chain of cause and effect that binds
and governs the universe"
Among other thoughts contained in
Mr.. Searls address were these kindly
utterances:
$50 the great sea of human thought
and emotion has been moved by our
acts, thought or words and can never
again be exactly what it would have
been without our influence that we
exert in the world in the effect that
we produce in persons end things

humanity viii be happy or miserable

thoughts and deeds have been good
or bad.
Friends and loved ones pass away,
but they leave their spirits with us
in the memory of what they were
and in the influence they have shed
around them. The little child that
has not learned to lisp its mothers
