Mrs. S. l.. Riley, formerly postmis-
tress and hotel keeper at Groom
Greek, leaves this evening for Doug
las, Arizona, where her husband has
been engaged in the mining business

her two story hotel, store and post
office burned down, and her loss was
so heavy that she decided not to try

Officers on the death watch of AL
derete, say that he seems to be per-
fectly unconcerned in regard to his
fate and has been since the time of
his sentence. A Prescott contempt
rary spoke OF the tears.in his eyes and
the affecting scene when sentence was
pronounced all of which was purely
in the imagination of the reporter
writing it. He was as unmoved as a
statue when sentence was pronounced
and his face gave out no more expires
sion. So far as any emotion of any
kind was concerned, as shown by his
countenace while sentence was being
pronounced, one could not have
told whether it was death sentence
or a free pass to circus that was be-
ing handed him. This same stoical
indifference has characterized him
ever since. He eats we'll and sleeps
soUndly and seems perfectly indiffer-
ent to all of his surroundings.
Prof. Deschamps had a fair sized
audience at the Methodist church last
evening to hear his lecture, nearly 100
ladies and gentlemen being present.
The professor is very interesting as
we'll as an instructive talker and
shows perfect familiarity with his
subject. His lecture lasted a little
over an hour, after which he volun-
teered to read the faces of six people
in the audience. Those called for and
who responded to the call we're Mes
danes Geo. Wooster, ]. c. Martin,
Miss Louise Penny, Rev. A. NJ. Glib
bon, F. r. Stewart and Prof. B. D.
Billinghurst. All except one or two
were entire strangers to him but those
acquainted with the subjects could
not help recognizing the correctness
of the readings in the main points.
There is no doubt that Prot Des-
champs is a master in his profession
and can read a human face as one
reads an open book. His letcure was
illustrated with crayon by means of
which he showed by outline different
features, and what they express.
