A Bit of Correspondence.

The following correspondence. ending
in true Irish fashion. actually passed
between two men In England some
years ago:
"Mr. Thompson presents his compli.
ments to Mr.. Simpson and begs to re.
quest that he will keep his Dogs from
t~respassing on his grounds"
"Mr. Simpson presents his compli.
ments to Mr.. Thompson and begs to
suggest that In future he should not
spell dogs with two gees"
"Mr. Thompson's respects to Mr..
Simpson and Will feel obliged II he will
add the letter e. TO the last word In the
note Just received. so as to represent
Mr. Simpson and lady"
"Mr. Simpson returns Mr.. Thomp-
sons note unopened, the imp~ertinence
It contains being only equaled by its
vulgarity."

FIRE AT GILT EDGE.

Bucket Brigade Called on This voIn.
ing and Did Good WORK.
A special to the ARGUS from Gilt
Edge states that at about 10 o'clock
this morning, fire, caused by the ex-
plosion of a lamp, was discovered in
the Gilt Edge hotel and only by the
well directed efforts of the entire pop
ulation of the camp was the hotel saw
ed. as well rs adjoining buildings.
Water was plentifully used and, while
much havoc was wrought thereby, as
well as by the axemen, within thirty
minutes the blaze was put out.
The fire started in the rooms occu-
pied by the members of the Southern
Stock Co., and they lost much cloth
ing and paraphernalia.
Some of the members of the troupe
evidently forgot, in their excitement,
that they were not in a twenty-story
city hotel and after calling loudly for
the fire escape, slid down from the
second story windows on a board.

EFFECTS OF VIBRATION.
Wounds Have Ncen Healed by sound
Waves Of n Violin.


Waves OF a Violin.
A man was conveyed to n hospital
In Paris suffering from an accident
which resulted In a serious wound.
This wound refused to heal, and all
the various treatments applied to 1t
failed TO effect the desired end. The
man was attacked from time TO time
by violent paroxysms, and death ap-
peared certain. At length the surgeon
enlisted the services OF n good violin
player and treated the sufferer to a
musical remedy. The patients parox-
ysms ceased, and from that time the
wound began to heal. The violin play
Ing was continued at intervals till re-
coyery was assured.
In another case the wound continued
to suppurate despite oil that could be
done. The patient was cain and re-
signed, but nothing could be done for
the wound. The violin was called into
requisition in this instance also, and
the instrument was played close to the
injured part, which was barred for the
purpose. The surgeon soon observed
a change. The wound assumed a
healthier appearance. and the process
OF healing began and progressed rap
Idly.
1t is an undoubted fact that certain
vibrations can effect cures, but the vi
brations must be strictly In accord
ance with the malady or nature Of the
wound. Some enthusiasts go so far as
to assert that the character Of individ.
uals can be changed by the constant
application Of the proper VIBRATION

d Scared the Chef Worse Than II

Pat was assistant cook on one Of the
dining cars on the Great Western road
running into st. Paul. He was OBJ
stinate and III tempered. The chef was
equally SO, and as a result constant
warfare waged between them. One hot
day Pat was making ice cream and In
spite Of the chefs warnings insisted
upon sitting In the doorway Of the
pantry while he turned the freezer.
The train, going up grade, made n sud
den lurch, and Pat and his can Of ice
cream fell out the door, as his superior
officer had predicted. Frantic with
fright, the chef in his white cap and
apron tore through the train looking
for the conductor.

cried, wringing his hands when he
found that person, re ice cream

The conductor pulled the bell and

gone two miles past the spot where
Pat had rolled out. They backed the

they saw him coming over the ties on

PRESIDENT PALMA's MESSAGE.
Manly Address Delivered to the Cuban

Havana, May 2S.-President Pal

Cuban senate today. The message
opens by giving thanks to the Al
mighty for his assistance in carrying
out the work of obtaining Cuban in.
dependence and asks divine aid in the
establishment of a firm and stable
government.
Never did a people fight with more
perseverance" says the message, land
sacrifice more for liberty than have
the Cubans. No people, therefore, are
more entitled to see their just efforts
crowned with Together with
our own heroism is the attitude of the
great people who were impelled by
their love for liberty to put themselves
on our side in our tenacious fight for
the independence of our country.
Their motive was one of generous SEN
timent, pure and di~sinterested in or.
igin.
'Impelled by this sentiment. the
powerful republic of the north recog-
nizes, through its illustrious president.
the republic of Cuba. The promise
formally made has been carried out.
In this moment, when we feel our
right as an independent nation. 1t is
impossible to suppress our gratitude
to the United States. To recognize
this debt of gratitude to the great ma
ton Is an act which exalts us and
which makes us worthy of the consid-
Grafton and respect of the other ma
lions of the world"
President Palma recommends the
encouragement of the agricultural in
dustries of the island. the raising of
cattle, the establishment Of agricul.
tural stations to improve the culture
of sugar cane and tobacco and the
introduction of various agricultural in
dustries.
while the question of reciprocity is
still pending" the message goes on,
1T is impossible to state now what
measures should be adopted to meet
the pending crisis"

GOOD OPINION OF DRAGONS.

F. II. Cornell. who registers from
Cochise' stronghold in the Dragons.
is in the city to close up mining deal
in the Eagle Tail mountains of Mari
cOpa county. In speaking of the Dra-
goons near Pearce he is very enthusi-
astic as to its future as q great mining
field, claiming that it is one vast min
eral belt from Gleason camp to john
sonville on the north slope of the
mountains. Wherever work has been
done intelligently mines have shown
up well.
Mr.. Council and associates own the
President group of mines, comprising
claims in Cochise canyon. and has had
several flattering offers for his inter-
ests there, modestly remarks. There
is no particular hurry about closing
deal as we would like to lock over the
ground Il little further before selling"
He has been in Arizona and the
southwest as a prospector, miner and
newspaper correspondent since 1880,
having been an early resident of Tomb
stone. and as he says himself he has
had his ups and downs mostly down., -
in the west and southwest, but thinks
that southern Arizona is certainly the
coming field. Outside of properties in
which he is interested. he is placing
properties of merit with Spokane and
Michigan capitalists, whose interests he
Will look after. He will establish head
quarters in Tucson, making occasional
trips into the hills.

PRESCOTT MIXING EXCHANGE
Meeting for Purpose of Organization
to Be Held Tonight.

Prescott, Ariz., April 22.-(SpeciaI
correspondence of The Republican,
At last Prescott is to have real bona
fide mining stock exchange, where reg
ular reports of the condition OF COM
panies and of their properties have to
be made to the exchange and the acme
of protection against over-issue is af-
forded by the requirement that all
stocks be registered with some reput-
able trust company. Only recently
discovery was made in the matter OF
companies funds being at the mercy
of the treasurers of the companies. 1t
was found by a prominent exchange
that some treasurers were in the habit
of depositing the funds to their indi-
vidual accounts instead of to the credit
of the companies to which they right
fully belonged. 1t was plain that the
financial embarrassment of the indi-
vidual would result in unnecessary
harm to the company and it's share
holders and consequently a rule was
adopted whereby all funds of COM
panies the stocks of which were traded
in on that exchange, must be deposited
TO the credit of the company and not
to the personal credit of an individual.
In this proposed organization repre-
sentative men OF all kinds of business
row that they intend to organize have
the experience of such other exchanges
as they care to Investigate to guide
them, and enabling these men to or
ganize on broad business principles.
The strength and Importance of any
stock exchange lies principally in the
amount of protection it affords the
small stakeholder. II will be necessary
to amend the rules governing the ex-
change from time to time until none
but the most legitimat e companies can
have their shares traded in on the floor.
Wildcatism will be absolutely elimi-
mated. Then, too, arrangements should
be made for receiving daily quotations
and weekly letter reviewing the mar
ket and the important developments
relating to companies the shares of
which are on sale, and thereby known
by the investor to be legitimate This
information should be sent to and pub
lished by the press both local ard in

course of human beings, afoot and

wagons. apple carts, private carriages,
tricycles. brewery vans. all crashing
together and resounding with the muir
murs and outcries of thousands of per-
sons. Such we fOresee with prophetic
eye, and environment of the lone
horseman OF the White House, if this
sort of things keeps up. 1t may be
that this growing regard of the people
for the president, this desire to accom-
pany him intimately on his rambles
and make it pleasant for him. is re-
Sponsible for his reported declaration
to Santos-Dumont yesterday that he
would enjoy riding in his airship. If
President Roosevelt, who notably de-
lights in solitude now and then is
driven to take to dirigible balloons for
his breathing and thinking spells, the
Washington public will have itself to
thank for it.
