A Persian Dinner.

A traveller in Persia thus describes a
dinner served in the household of a
wealthy Persian: THE chief dish con-
sists of fowl boiled to rags, surround
ed by toothsome mass of rice, hard
boiled eggs, fried onions, almonds and
raisins. There is Shraz wine, clear.
golden red liquid that has travelled
over the mountain passes on mulebaAx
i'll a huge glass carboy. Among the
dessert mamma has conspicuous place.
This delicacy is somewhat akin to
nougat; it is studded with walnuts and
almonds and is jaw sticking to the
last degree. Like the mango, it IS best
eaten in private, for 1t renders the mas
ticator speechless. 1t is made of gum
that exudes from tree and is said to
be engendered by a worm. .''-Chicago

Broke the Rule.

4 Boston man recently regale6 q
party Of friends with a story about q
certain nameless club in Boston which
has strict regulations against gam
bling.
A quartet Of club members decided
to break that rule by game Of poker
for small stakes. So they adjourned
to one Of the small rooms of the club
and called the old colored servant to
bring pack of cards. When he
brought them, one of the members
lueried:
"John, suppose it would be some
thing utterly new in this club If we
should do such thing as play for
money with these cards?
The negro scratched his head and
6eliberated. finally answering:
BOSS, PZe been wild dis club long
time and 1'ze seen many things"
Yes, but what have you seen?'
''I'ze seen ebry rule OBJ dis club Viz
lated 'ceptin' one
What rule is that one?"
'De rule 'gainSt gibbin' tips to de-

And straightway that rule was re-
lieved OF it's lonesomeness among its.

COLONEL HERRING DECLINES.

Colonel William Herring, of Tucson,
Is the latest Republican to decline the
nomination of his party for Delegate to
Congress.
Colonel Herring is an old-time Re
publican, and thorough believer in
the doctrines of his party. He is a
man of fine ability and great attain
ments; of splendid character and i'm
pressive dignity, who would attract
attention and exert a good influence
in any legislative body in the country.
But Colonel Herring has no disposition
to face the inevitable defeat that con-
fronts his party in Arizona in No
vember.
Colonel Herring is a strong man, but
he is well aware that he is not strong
enough to bear the burden of Repub-
hcan sins. The Republican leaders
in Congress have demonstrated their
hostility to Arizona; the men of Ari-
zona are ready to show that they are
capable of bearing resentment in
good cause. A majority of the people
OF Arizona are Democrats They have
nominated a strong candidate for Del
egate to Congress, who will receive the
support of every Democrat in Arizona.
Beyond this, all Independent voters
and many Republicans will support
Colonel Wilson because of the open
opposition of the Republican leaders
to Statehood. There is no chance of
a Republican Delegate being elected
No wonder that Colonel Herring, who
is not in debt to the Republican organ
ization declines to be sacrificed.
There is only one thing for the Re-
publicans to do, and that is to nom
mate, N. O.. Murphy. They should
make him take the nomination. He
is the logical candidate, as he is the
real leader OF his party in Arizona. If
there were a chance to elect Republi-
can to Congress Murphy would be de-
mand1ng the nomination. He has
demanded, and has generally received
all the good things at the disposal of
his party in this Territory. Now is
the time to make him do something.
he should be compelled to lead his
party to defeat.
In the meantime, we congratulate
colonel Herring on his good Judgment
The practice of the law, when clients
are many and profitable, is most en-
pertaining and attractive occupation
colonel Herring is at the head of his
profession in Arizona. He is in the
1uli enjoyment of the esteem of his
IeiioW citizens. Why should be SUBJ
INIT himself to the contumely and an
noyance of trying to explain the atti-
tude of the Republican leaders in
congress and the disappearance of the
contingent fund during Murphys adj
mlnistration? Colonel Herring has
fine level head.

AN OFFENSIVE PROPOSAL.

| At the approaching reunion of the
G1 and Army of the Republic at Wash
iE3ton, General Dyrenforth, a veteran
of the civil war, is preparing to SUBJ
NIT proposal for the organization of
veterans union" to control elec-
tions in the United States. The
scheme is not only impracticable, but
unpatriotic. AT the same time it Is
contrary to the military and civil ira
ditions of the republic, and incompat-
ible with the spirit of our institutions.
Such projects have been frowned on in
the past, not only by the people at
large, but by the men who served
with honor in our volunteer and regu-
lar armies.
The prejudice of the American PEG
pie against the introduction of mill
tary organizations into politics mani
tested itself after the Revolution in
unreasoning hostility to the Society of
the Cincinnati, which was composed of
officers of the revolutionary army.
The same prejudice prevented for some
years after the close of the civil war
any great increase in the membership
of THE Grand Army of the Republic,
and initiated against the Loyal Le-
gion. 1t was only when the ex-
soldiers themselves formally took poll
itics out of both organizations that
either prospered.
The Dyrenforth proposition is con-
trary also to political precedents. The
American people are instinctively
hostile to class legislation and to class
parties. No attempt to build up dis
tinct laborer's party, or manufac-
turers' party, or capitalists party, or
a poor mans party, or a farmers par
ty, has ever been conspicuously sue
cessful for any length of time.
No appeal to the prejudice of class
or of an organization, no attempt to
use a secret society or a. religious
society in politics, has ever been sue
cessful. Yet in this case there is a
clear appeal for class organization
for special purpose.
The appeal in itself is a reflection
on the American people, who have
manifested their friendhness to all
who have fought their battles. 1t is
offensive to the political parties in the
field, because each party, in its plat
forms, has manifested it's friendliness
to the ex-soldier.
1t is offensive also to the ex-6Aldiers
themselves, because it puts them in
the light of discontented class, car
ing more for legislation in their own
interest than for the interests of the
country. This is SO foreign to the
character of the true veteran soldiers
that the proposition of General Dyren-
forth Is not likely to be countenanced
by any great number of them in anv
part of the country.

GATHERING OPIUM.
How the Petals and Juice of the
Poppy Plant Are Procured.

How the Petals and Juice of the
Poppy Plant Are Procured.
1t is a sort of garden cultivation, the
poppy plants being grown in little
squares or beds intersected by tiny wa,
ter channels for irrigation wherever
this is possible. The growth Of the
plants is carefully tended, and at
length the time comes when they burst
out into flower, and the fields look like
Il sheet Of silver as the white petals of
the flowers glisten in the morning dew.
These beautiful petals are the frs,
produce of the crop, for the women and
children of the cultivators' families
come forth and pick them off one by
one and carefully dry them, so that
they may serve afterward as the cover
Ing of the manufactured cakes of
opium. Then the poppies, with their
bare capsule heads, remain standing in
the open field until it is considered that
they are ripe for lancing. The culti-
yators then come forth in the evening,
and, with an implement not unlike the
knives of a cupping instrument. they
scarify the capsule on its sides with
deep incisions, so that the juice may
eXude.
In the early morning the cultivators
reappear with a scraping knife and
their earthenware pots, and they
serape off the exuded juice and collect
1t in their pots. And this is crude
opium. Magazine.

Fertile Cuba.

In Cuba cabbages frequently weigh
as much as twenty pounds. All vege-
tables do well. Radishes may be eaten
from fourteen to eighteen days after
sowing, lettuce in FIVE weeks after
sowing, while corn produces three
crops per year. Sweet potatoes are
perpetual. The natives dig up the
tubers. cut them off and plant the old
vines, which produce a new crop in
three months. All sorts of fruit, horti-
cultural and greenhouse plants and
bulbous stock are also grown.

NESTING WOOD DUCKS.
The Courtship Period Is Followed

The COurtship Period Is Followed
by a Very PrOsaic Married Life.
When a pair of wood ducks fnd
water and a hollow tree 10 suit, little
time is lost in preparing the nest. This
task and the covering of the eggs are
performed by the female, for, to the
best of my knowledge, the male does
little more than sit around on handy
limbs and look pretty. During the
period of nest building and while the
duck is laying he is the beau ideal of a
handsome and loving cavalier, ever at
tentive and seemingly most anxious as
to her whereabouts should she happen
to get out of his sight. But with the
waning of the honeymoon he seems to
feel rather bored with the whole bust
ness, and gradually he gets clubby-i.
e., wanders from his own freside and
hunts up another drake or two to help
him loaf away the summer. The busy
little duck keeps her own counsel and
'sits tight on the dozen or more highly
polished ivorylike eggs crowded to-
gether in a bed of soft decayed wood
and down from her breast.
Quite frequently the nest is at the
bottom of a hollow several feet deep,
and no doubt the strong, hooked claws
of the wood duck are a special pro
vision for the oft repeated climbing out
of the holloW.-Edwyn Sandys in Out

TERM Of DISTRICT COURT.
District Court Opens in the City To-
day, and Trial Of Patrick Hines
@:# Concluded.
May Case Will Probably be Taken
up Monday-shibley Case Being
Tried Today.

The November term of the district
court opened at. the court house this
morning with Judge Winchester pre-
siding. The roll of jurors was called,
and the first criminal case moved by
States Attorney ALLEN was that against
Patrick Hines, charged with an escape
from the state ~penitentiary. Hines
told the court he wanted a grand jury
to investigate his case, but was in
formed that that was impossible at the
present term. The he thought he
should be tried in the supreme court,
and finally pleaded not guilty to the
charge. He said he did not want a
lawyer and defended his own case.
A jury was impaneled and the trial
of the case proceeded with. Hines
cross-examined the witnesses for the
state, who were Warden Boucher Of
the penitentiary, former Deputy War
den Kaufman. and Guards Stewart
and Couch. Hines defense for his
escape was to the effect that he was
off THE penitentiary grounds at the time
OF the attempt. and, i'm his opinion,
out of the jurisdiction of the p%eniten-
tiary authorities. Z
This afternoon the trial of the Hines
case was concluded and given to the
jury. Hines made a rather ingenious
plea to the jury. claiming that he had
been n punished for his attempted
escape by being deprived of his good
time, that he was off the prison
grounds at the time, and in other ways
pleading for a verdict favorable to him.
After the conclusion of this case, a
jury was ordered impaneled in the
case of the State VS.. Willard Shibley,
who is charged with selling intaxicat-
ing lisuor contrary to law. The inn
paneling of the jury was in progress at
press time.
It is the present intention of the at
torneys to take up the May murder
case next Monday. Frank M. Nye of

other affecting the Woods tax deed
