Freak Bills.

From the Chicago News ..-
As 1t is evident that the humorists who
have broken into several of the state legfs-
latures cannot suppress their own proclivi-
ties toward mirthmaking, it might be well
for presiding officers generally to take the
matter in hand. The state assemblies this
winter have been especially prolific in abb
surd bills. Anti-kisslng bills are favorites.
and while no one has yet proposed law
against handshaking, the idea has been
Swallowed forth in provisions against the
transmission of disease germs. A house
cleaning-day'' bill in Utah was promptly
followed by talk OF introducing similar
measure at Springfield. This week the Mis-

athletic sports to ping pong and croquet.

Prominent Jews of America.

From the Jewish Comment

its British cousin, contains IL, sol biograph-
ical sketches of famous men and women in
this country. OF these 11,551, something
like 120, or a little more than 1 per cent,
are Jews. The Jewish population in this
country is about 1.Oo0,cs)O. or, roughly
speaking, a little more than / per cent
that is, the number of Jewish names includ-
ed in who's Who in America" is about
the same or little less in proportion to the
Jewish population in this country. In other
words, were We ts measure the Importance
of people by the proportion of great men
it produces, we should be compelled to the
conclusion that the Jews pay no greater
part, proportionately, than any other class
of people in the United States.
This may or may not be true. but we
must not forget that of the 100000 Jews
in this country, more than 100000 have i'm
migrated within the last twenty or thirty
years, and the greater number Of these
700, 900 have come here within the last ten

ATLANTIC CITY. March Is. 1908.
All Of the principal hotels on the island
are comfortably full. and the smaller ones
are getting more than their usual share of
the patronage at this time of the year. The
crowds that throng the Boardwalk daily
differ from those of midsummer in the fact
that they are more representative of the
wealth and fashion Of the leading cities of
the country, especially of New York, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and Washington. The
hotel reservations indicate that there will
be nothing left but standing room between
this time and the close of the Lenten sea-
son. The railroads have arranged to run
special trains for the Easter day crush,
many of these trains leaving Philadelphia

greatest event of the year takes place IN

ARRANGEMENTS are already being made for
the celebra ton of the semi-centenn1al OF
Atlantic City. which takes place year
hence. Mayor Stoy will soon appoint
committee of citizens to map out the de-
tails of the celebration, that will occupy
week. Fifty years ago Atlantic City was
composed of a little group OF cottages MD
among sand hills and scrub pine; now II
has resident population of between thirty
five and forty thousand, and Is one OF the
wealthiest corporations of its size In the
world.
The Sunday night musicales at the MARI
borough House are features Of the resort

Atlantic City is becoming a favorite win
ter resort with the members of the dramat-
ic profession whose engagements permit Of
their running down here at frequent inter-
walls.

A KIDNAPPED POLICEMAN.
Was Carried Off by an Automobiles
Under Arrest.

One Of the members of Major Sylvester's
force of uniformed policemen who receives
a monthly salary for the part he takes in
preserving peace and order in a certain sec
ton Of the west end Of the city had the un-
pleasant experience of being kidnapped the
other night and narrowly escaped being
carried into the state of Maryland. A BIZ
cycle policeman was standing at point
on NJ street west Of Rock creek the night
in question. when a large-sized automobile
with a party aboard, raced by him at a
rapid rate Of speed, headed west. He
mounted his silent steed and gave chase,
but did not overtake them until the party
was compelled to come to stop because
of disarrangement to some of the ma
chinery of the vehicle, and then the guar
dian of the peace rode up and impaired the
unpleasant information that the person in
charge of the machine would have to &C
company him to the station house and de-
post collateral for his appearance at the
Police Court the next morning to answer
to q charge OF violating the speed law.
The party in charge of the vehicle readily
consented to go with the bluecoat as soon as
the necessary repairs were made and In
the meantime the foot policeman on the
beat put in appearance and the bicycle off,
Ger suggested that the former should enter
the machine and accompany the party to
the lookup, he being afraid that the party
would give him the slip If he attempted to
escort them mounted on his wheel.
The bluecoat glad of the chance to enjoy
a ride, consented and took a seat In the
machine after the repairs had been com
pleted. and the party started off. as the
officer supposed, with the intention Of going
direct to the station, which is located on
Q street between 32d and 33d streets. All
went we'll until the party arrived at 32d
street, which they passed, the machine go
ing at a record breaking pace, which caused
the officer to remark that he would file an
additional charge. The operator, however,
did not slow down. but continued on past
33d and Saith streets and turned into Canal
road, which was traversed to the top Of the
HILL where 1t is intersected by the Conduit
road, by which time the officer of the law
was in state of terror. He became despe-
rate, jumped to his feet and seized the man
at the throttle by the collar and demanded
that the vehicle be turned around.
"You are at liberty to return to your sta
ton after we arrive at our destination" one
Of the party said. naming a road house
some distance up the road in Maryland.
The guardian Of the peace, after calling
the attention Of the party to the fact that
they were placing themselves in a position
which might cause them serious trouble,
finally prevailed them to go to the sta
ton, which they did and took their depart
ure after furnishing the necessary collat-
eral, while the officer returned to his beat,
vowing that he had had enough Of autono-
biles to last him for some time

crowned by cross shows on its top the
crater Of an extinct volcano. -
On leaving the old church we drove about
the reservation which numbers about 800
Indians living in tiny adobe huts and
brushwood shelters. Beside some of them
we saw women sitting, busy making pot
terry, with an entire absence of any tools
save their own skillful brown hands. They
showed the usual aboriginal aversion to
being photographed, and at the first glimpse
of the kodak ran to cover like frightened
partridges. Nevertheless small fee will
induce certain Of them to tremblingly sub
NIT to the awful ordeal of having camera
leveled at them. Besides making pottery,
the women are skilled in basket weaving,
while the extensive fields on the reservation
give employment to the men. whom we saw
engaged In blowing. A greater abundance
Of water Is all that Is needed to fully de-
velop the agricultural possibilities of this
valley Of the Santa Cruz to coincide with
the development of the mineral resources
of the surrounding mountains.

-.'~r.,z --5r TUCSON, March Z, 1908.
Most of us are familiar from childhood
days with st. Augustine's generally con-
coded claim to be the oldest town Of the
United States. Not so many are acquainted
with the fact that Tucson ranks next In
point of antiquity. This fourishing and
progressive American town has been
evolved from the nucleus of an old Mexican
village, wherein many generations of prim-
tive folk of few and simple wants, passed
through existence untouched by a fore
shadowns of the more complex society
which was to supersede them.
Comprised within the western limits OF
the Tucson of today stand whole streets OF
fat-roofed, crumbling, one-story adobe
buildings, looking rather dark and insani-
tary as to interior, but still teeming with
dark-skinned tenants, who often show an
unmistakable mixture of Indian blood, and
who retain their soft Spanish dialect and
leisurely habits of life, apparently unmodf-
fled by contact with their more strenuous
American neighbors. The women are often
pretty when young, but incline to grow too
stout with ripper years. They are usually
distinguished by a black shawl worn over
head and shoulders. while the children run
about barefooted. with an apparent insensi-
bility TO cold which we visitors from a
more northern cline are inclined to envy.
The streets of the new town are broad and
well laid out, though mostly unpaved and
rough. For short time after rain the
mud is direful, and would be quite tntolera-
BILE IL rains were not infrequent. At night
one could wish the electric lights less

quite and cactus. The coming Of spring,
with a rain or two, we are told, will spread
this arid-looking region with a carpet Of
grass and wild flowers. Just at this present
season the searcher for beauty must lift
up his eyes to the hills. 1t would be hard

their jagged tops sharply outlined against
the metallic blue of the Arizona sky, the
higher peaks capped and furrowed with
snow. When the sky is softened by clouds
there are thousand varying effects of light

morning, or stepped in the gorgeous hues Of
sunset, the customary blue of the noun

opinion on learning that they are sixteen
miles away.
A Good Old Story.
OF course, the newcomer is told the story
of the Englishman who thought he would
have time to walk to a certain mountain
and return before his train went on. He
covered mile after mile, while the mountain
looked as far away as ever, and While MS
train went on without him Subsequently he
was talking with friend, and when they
came to a tiny rill the Englishman sat
down and began to disrobe. what are
you doing that for?' demanded his aston
ished companion. "Going to swim this
river" why don't you just step across?"
mo, indeed, I've been fooled once in this
blasted country, and you don't catch me
taking a chance now of being drowned"
The air is usually so sharp and frosty at
night that one wonders at the hardihood OF
the handsome palms which adorn some OF
the gardens. However, at midday it Is hot
enough to induce one to throw off wraps,
and the genial, sunny weather favors open
air excursions of all kinds.
What is to Be Seen.
One which no visitor should fall to take
Is that to the ancient mission Of San Xavier
del Bac nine miles from the old Preside,
now the growing city Of Tucson. In answer
to the assertion You have no ruins In
America" one might point to the venerable
edifce erected here through the efforts OF
Franciscan missionaries on what Is now the
Papago Indian reservation. Papago, ac-
cording to the explanation given by the
Indians, means hair cut" by which for
merly those converted to the faith were
distinguished) The mission was established
in 1857 by Jesuit missionaries, with Father
Kino as superior, and after their expulsion
by the Mexican government their place was
taken by Franciscan priests. The date
1897 seen on one of the doors of the
church, is, according to tradition, the date
Of it's completion after fourteen years OF
building In their humility these architects
left no mark to carry down their names to
succeeding generations-differing in this re-
spect from many visitors who have con-
tributed to the DETACHMENT of the venerable
pile by writing or carving their insignif-
cant names upon it. The church Is built
of stone and brick, and in form IS a cross
81 by 105 feet The mission is now in charge
of Sisters of st. Joseph. On paying a small
fee the visitor is shown into the church by
an Indian lad. His first vivid sensation Is
Of the sudden transition from the warm,
sunny air outside to the cold, vaut-ike
chill of the dim interior. His next impress
sion is of the ford decoration of the grand
altar and chapels with a profusion Of tar
nIshed gliding in the Moorish style, quanti-
ties of artificial flowers, ropes of gay-col-
ored tissue paper, trimmings Of cotton lace;
apostles and saints carved from wood, now
decaying and leaving their holy visages
rather snub-nosed and fiattened by the
hand of time
No doubt to the eyes of the simple In
dians. for whose worship, 1t must be re-
membered, the church was designed, It

period Of respite from Uncle Sans duties.
about fifty witnesses were packed in be-
hind the rail- in my Office waiting for their

they each had to sign. came to this In
dian and he pulled the book toward him,
upside down, mind you. reached for pen
ell and started to sign. ! told him to hold
on, not to sign 1t upside down and tried to
turn the book around. We are not allowed
to have erasures on the record and the
government is mighty particular. The In
dian put his hand on the book and held 1t
and says: It's all right this way And
blame me II he didn't sign his name back

better hand than I can write in the ordi-

Ministers and Promoters.

From the Westminster Gazette.
The use which the modern company pro-

asters which he brings upon eminent per-
sons have been. strikingly- revealed to us
during the last ten years. 1t is not much
to ask that ca binet ministers should place
themselves outside this public form of COM

Who the Natives Are.
The Mexicans and Indians who still form
o large part of the population Of Tucson
appear to be the only adult residents native
to the soil: every one else seems to have
come here, from somewhere else. and to be
held here By 'the eomplexity of interests
which go to build up a town. Many are
health seekers, attracted of late years by
the superb winter climate. The. town is set
down in level, sandy valley, 2,4O0 feet
