cur the strange ceremony of taking

city is Wlsmar on the German coast

Of the city Of Wismar, pawned the city
to Mecklenbudg-Sch for 1.268.-

the districts of Peel and Neukloster,

was to be redeemed in 100 years for

A VISIT BY NIGHT.

Rome, July 24.-Interesting perso-
nal stories about Leo XIII. continue
to fill the press and form staple Of
conversation among all classes. Here
is one that, whether or not it be true
is none the. less interesting. AS has
been frequently stated, he is supposed
never to, have left the Vatican since
the conclave made him pope; but from
a very good authority there emanates
a story to the effect that once BY
night, in the disguise of an ordinary
priest, he. drove in common cal
through the capital of "the usurper'
to a palace where a brother of his
who was a cardinal, lay dying. A wo
man who noticed the priest get Out
of the cab swore that 1t was the pope
she saw. Next day the cardinal, his
brother, lay dead.

On Behalf of Arizona.

Inspired by a happy thought,
 Senator J. w. Burson of Yavapai county and Captain E. G. Bellairs
 of Wickenburg, have set in motion movement which is certain to have an important bearing on the campaign for statehood before the next session of congress. These gentlemen are taking the lead in getting out a book which will hon. estly and intelligently describe Ari- zona as it is. About two dozen chapters will be devoted to as many different subjects, and each chap ter will be written by man thor oughly competent to handle the subject. Several of the topics have been assigned already, and it is ex- pected that within a few days the complete list of subjects, with their authors, can be made public. The matter has already taken such defi- mite shape that it's success is as- sured.
 The book will be tastefully illus trated and when issued will be an authority on Arizona from every standpoint of current interest. It is the intention to place one vol ume in the hands of each senator and each congressman, and in the editorial office of every leading newspaper of the country. In ad- dition to this, the work will be gen. erally distributed throughout the east, among the banks and com mercial bodies, with the boards of trade, and, in fact, in all quarters where effective influence on behalf of Arizona's statehood claims can be aroused.
 The work will be distributed gratuitously, and the writers who will colla borate in the authorship will give their services, but it is ex- pected that enough high-class ad- vertising for insertion in the mag azine pages will be secured to re- turn a portion of the expense of
  publication.--From the Arizona of March 22.

ABOUT HISTORIC TOMBSTONE
Its Future Bright With Promise--T
 Past Already Secure.

Past Already secure.
 The following article, written for the Wickenberg Herald by one of the early residents of Tombstone, is interesting as showing the con- trast between the town of the past and the one of the present:
 The completion of the railroad to Tombstone, which is to be fit tingly celebrated this month, will usher in a new era in the history Si that once famous camp. 1t will again become all probability as it once was, the largest mining town in the territory. It will have schools, churches, libraries, col leges, and all other refnements of a modern civilization.
 To those who lived there from '79 to 'S4 there will always be a TO- nance associated with the camp that time cannot efface; a glamour that can never fade; a glory that will never die. The great major ity of its population in those by gone days were western men-from California, Nevada, Idaho, Colo rado and Montana they came young, brave, virile, -impetuous. The minimum wage was $4 a day of eight hours, work was plentiful, money abundant, the saloons and gambling houses were thronged night and day, while variety the aters and other questionable places of amusement fourished like the proverbial green bay tree.
 Fugitives from almost every state and territory in the union congregated; gun fighters focked thither, and they were as pictur- esque an aggregation of desperadoes as ever shot up town or robbed stage. Ned McGowan, Bat Master son, the Earp boys, Doc Holiday, Luke Short, Charley Storms, Frank Leslie, Dave Nagle, the Clanton brothers, Frank andTom McLowry, and hundreds of others whose names are not unknown in the an- nals of criminal fame, foregathered there, and in the feuds that ragged between the various factions many of them died with their boots on.
 The newspapers of those days were worthy representatives of the life of the camp, and some of the men who edited them are still in journalistic harness. Among those W hose names are now recalled was the genial and scholarly Pat Ham ilton, Sam Purdy, John Dunbar, Harry Woods, c. D. Reppy, and O'Brien Moore also played a short engagement there. The his torian of the future will find mate rial for an interesting chapter in the "duel" between Hamilton and Purdy. Hamilton, the editor of the Independent, goaded to desper- ation by attacks made upon him through the columns of the Epi- taph and Republican, edited by Purdy and Dunbar, respectively, challenged the latter to mortal Dunbar expressed him. self as being perfectly willing to settle the matter according to Mar luis of Queensbery or London prize ring rules, but positively refused to be made a target of for anyone's bullet. Hamilton then sent a chal- lenge to Purdy, who accepted, went into the field of honor across the line, but at the crucial moment showed the white feather and re- tired ingloriously from the field. Hamilton returned to Tombstone md was received as a conquering nero.
