THE M0ReNCI SOUTHERN
One of the Most Remarkable Railroads of the
 United States.

United States.
 Frank Alley thus describes our rail- road in the Bisbee Review, the far. famed line that runs from Morenci to Guthrie and crawls back:
 We have ridden broad gauges, standard gauges, narrow gauges, baby gauges and even single rails, but the Morenci Southern takes the cake. To start with, it is with pleasure that we hasten to acknowledge our sincere thanks for the distinguished courtesy shown us by Superintendent Burns, who will inevitably impress you as prince of gentility from the start. Straight across from Guthrie, Morenci is about eleven miles. The Morenci Southern covers eighteen miles. and ascends l,47S feet.
 Coming out of Morenci there are four loops in the first three miles. The little three-fOot gauges are as solid as the New York Central, and as the train sails around those circles it reminds you of skirt dance or dog trying to catch his own tail We passed one station four times, getting about twen- ty feet further away from it every time, while in another place the train curved around till the conductor in the rear coach reached out and handed the engineer a chew of tobacco. In some places you could stand on the rear platform and drop rock down into the smoke-Stack of the locomo- tive. Besides these curves and loops there are three tunnels. Superintend- ent Bnrns called these convolutions loops, but I think bow-knots would be more appropriate term. If you ever saw dry land snake fall into deep still water and wiggle to the bottom, you have some notion of how our train squirms from Morenci down to Guthrie.
 "The little road is splendidly built and performs an indispensable mis- sion. It has been in operation about two years without an accident. It doubtless represents the finest railroad engineering work ever accomplished in the United States and is worth gO- ing from Bisbee to see. It is diStin- guiShed by 43 per cent curves, but this elegant piece of engineering has brought it's steepest grade down to 41 per cent. ."-Morenci Standard.

STANDARD OIL FIGURES.
Dividends Declared During the last Ten Years. RockefelIer's Holdings.
The Journal for Investors says:

The Journal for Investors says:
 Standard Oil company's directors have declared quarterly dividend of 10 per cent, or $l0,000, 900, making a yearly dividend distribution of si5, ,000,- 900 on the capital of $1O0, 600, 900. This compares with 5000, 900 in each of the last two years, s33, GOO, 900 in 1899, $30, O00, 900 in 1898, s33 GOO. GOO in 1897, $3l ,000, 900 in 1896, and SIP, 900 in each year from 1895 to 1891, inclusive.
 "This dividend declaration makes a total distribution in ten years equal to 304 per cent, or S304 ,000 900 on a capital stock of $l00. GOO, 900, and leaves as remainder of the profit distribu- ton of $24, ,000, 900 in 1891 and 1892 as a payment equal to the probable value the property then.
 "In other words, according to this reckoning, Standard Oil stockholders got all their actual capital back ten years ago and since then have received the equivalent of more than 100 per cent year on it's actual worth.
 "The stock of the company was not affected perceptibly by the dividend declaration. It rose from $650 to s675 share, and seventy shares changed hands. On this basis the market value of the $l00, 100000 share capital is equal to s675, ,O00, ,OOe. and, although no figures are obtained, it is the i'm pression in Wall street that the Rock efeller family owns little less than | half of the shares.
 "On the basis of Wall street opinion the Rockefeller family, therefore, re- ceives in dividends only little less than s20, 900, 900 year.
 "Phis is per cent per annum on | $400, 900, 900, so that this family has a fortune of that amount in oil stocks alone, and is known to have enormous holdings in railroad and other securi- | ties."

A Scientific Discovery.

Kodol does for the stomach that which it is unable to do for itself, even when but slightly disordered or over loaded. Kodol supplies the natural juices of digestions and does the work of the stomach, relaxing the nervous tension, while the infsmed muscles of that organ are allowed to rest and heal Kodol digests what you eat and enables the stomach and digestive organs to transform all food into rich, red blood.

THE WAsHERWoMAN's SONG.

Clay Evans, owe his appointment principally, it is sait to the presidents admiration fC 'Ironquill's' best known poem, 9Th Washerwoman's Song" MT. Roost welt read the poem about two year ago and expressed desire to meet th author, and thus their acquaintance began. His "Washerwoman's Song has acquired considerable celebrity and is as follows In a very humble cot,
 In a rather quiet spot.
 In the studs and in the soap Works d woman full of hope Working singing, all alone,
 In sort of undertone:
 With the Savior for friend He will keep me to the end" Sometimes happening along, had heard the seml-song,
 And i often used to smile,
 More in sympathy than guile, But l never said word
 In regard to what heard,
 As she sung about her friend
 Who would keep her to the end. Not in sorrow nor in glee,
 Working all day ylong was she, As her children, three or four, Played around her on the floor; But in monotoues the song
 She was hummiug all day long; With my Savior for friend, He will keep me to the end It's a song do not sing,
 For ] scarce believe thing
 Of the stories that are told
 Of the miracles of old
 But know that her belief
 Is the anodyne Of grief,
 And will always be friend
 That will keep her to the end Just a trifie lonesome she,
 Just as poor as poor could be; But her spirits always rose,
 Like the bubbles ID the clothes, And though widowed and alone, Cheered her with the monotone, Of Savior and friend
 Who would keep her to the end. have seen her rub and scrub On the washboard in the tub, While the baby sopped in studs, Rolled and tuubled in the duds, Or was padding in the pools
 With old scissors stuck in spools She still hummlng of her friend Who would keep her to the end. Human hopes and human creeds Have their root in human needs; And should not wish to strip From that washerWoman's lips Any song that she can sing,
 Any hope that song can bring For the woman has friend
 Who win keep her to the end.

some Opinions of Browning.

Mr.. G. K. Chesterton writes delight
fully of Browning in the English Men
of Letters" series, says the New York
Post. It is difficult picking and choos-
ing in a book so full of wit and of
novel ideas originally expressed.
When man begins to think that the
grass will not grow at night unless
he lies awake to watch it. he gener-
ally ends either in an asylum or on
the throne of an emperor" This is a
sample of the kind of thing which
occurs on almost every page. We are
told the old story-and it is worth the
telling over again-of the poem enti-
tied "Pacchiarotto and How He Work
ed in Distemper," and of the kind
lady who thought that Pacchiarotto
was dog and felt sorry for him.
We are also told of the two night
ingales that, in Browning's youth,
used to sing in the garden at Cam
berwell Browning, who was at that
time fairly intoxicated with the poetry
of Shelley and Keats, "hypnotized him
self into something approaching pos
tive conviction that. these two birds
We're the spirits of the two great
poets who had settled in a Gambler
we'll garden, in order to sing to the only
young gentleman who really adored
and understood them. 1T would be
ulHlCult, aQQS Mr.. CheStertOn, to nnd
a story which, across the gulf of nearly
eighty years, awakens so wildly a
sense of the sumptuous folly of an
intellectual boyhood."
1t is now more than sixty years
since "Sordello" was first published.
The bewilderment with which that
work was received by the British pub
lie is, of course, only a legend to us
at the present time but it must have
been highly amusing to observe. Car
lyle wrote to a friend that his wife
had read Sordello with great inter
est, and wished to know whether Sor-
dello was a man, or a city, or a book
Tennyson said that the first line of
the poem
who will may hear Sordello's story
told"
and the last line,
who would has heard Sordello's story
told"
were the only two lines in the entire
piece that he understood, and they
were lies. Most ludicrous of all was
the CONSERVATION of Douglas Jerrold,
who was recovering from an illness
and, having obtained permission to
read a little during the day, picked
up and began "Sordello." No sooner
had he done so than he turned deadly
pale, put down the book, and said:
MY God! I'm an idiot. My health is
restored, but my minds gone. 1 can't
understand two consecutive lines of ar

SHIELDING GAYNoR AND GREENE.
Quebec Condemned at Home for
Keeping Fugitives from Justice.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Montreal, Quebec May 27.-There is
much feeling throughout this province
among members of the Conservative
party, in regard to the attitude of the
administration in the Greene aynor
extradition proceedings. The fact that
members of the legal branch of the
government are members of the firm of
lawyers retained to defend Greene and
Gaynor against extradition has been
much discussed. The Montreal Ga
zette has published a bitter editorial
on the subject, a part of which is as
follows:
Among the resolutions offered by the
opposition in the Quebec Legislative
Assembly was one condemning the at
titude in connection with the proceed
ings in the now notorious Gaynor-
Greene extradition proceedings. The
facts are fairly well known The men
In question came to this country in the
character of fugitives from Justice.
Proceedings to secure their extradition
were instituted. II was the duty of
the government of the Province to see
that these were regularly conducted, no
favor being shown on either side and
no unnecessary obstruction being put
in the way of the execution of the law
This duty was forgotten. To quote the
words of the resolution, two of the
partners of the Minister of Justice of
Canada, and of the Prime Minister of
this Province. as well as one of the
members of the law firm of RainvilIe
Archambault and Gervais, the said Mr..
Archambault. one of the said firm, be-
ing Attorney General of this province"
appeared as attorneys for the accused
men. AS result of the efforts of this
array of counsel, the eXtradition pro-
ceedings fell through. The resolution
offered in the Legislature did not
touch the legal points at issue. 1t
was designed to condemn the appear
ance among defenders of men accused
in the courts of the law of officers of
the Crown. 1t was so proper a resolu-
ton that it would be thought no legis-
lator would venture to oppose it. That
the whole Liberal contingent in the
Legislative Assembly is recorded as
voting against it, is simply proof of
the low ideas of duty to the province
the present majority is actuated by 1t
is not putting the case too strongly to
say that the vote. besides giving a
sanction to a bad precedent, has low
cred the esteem in which Quebec will
be held among the provinces.

exceedingly shady fashion and Mr..

thing like $4,000. But the broker con-
tnued to bow to his victim as though
nothing of the kind had occurred. One
morning the millionaire said to him in
his very sternest tone: See here, Mr..

The unfortunate lady, who is said to
be of remarkable-even dazzling
beauty, landed at Cadiz about month
ago from a British steamer which had

went TO Seville, where pious lady
took charge of her and converted her
TO Christianity.
On her baptism she changed her
name from Fatima to Dolores, and,
donning European attire, she earned
her living as a needle-woman. All
went well for few weeks, Dolores i'm
agining herself safe in Alt Christian"
Spain from her pursuers. But Mo
manned Torres, the Sultan of Moroc-
cos minister, made a demand for her
return and the Spanish government
has acquiesced.
The unfortunate woman goes back
to a life Of misery. For the rest of her
natural existence she win be chained
by the ankles to prevent her again at
tempting to escape.
The press is highly indignant at the
action of the government, and ii is re-
ported that Fatima expressed the in
tention of committing suicide rather
