Arazona,. uniaue Jall.

Graham county jaii, at Clifton, Ariz., as probably the most unusual in Amer tca It comprises four large apartments hewn in the side of a hill of solid quartz rock The entrance to the jail is through a box-like vestibule built of heavy ma sorry, and equipped with three sets of gates of steel bars. Here and there in the rocky walls holes have been blasted for windows, and in these aperatures a series of massive bars of steel have been fitted firmly in the rock. The floor of the rockbound jail is of cement, and the prisoners are confined wholly in the larger apartments. In some places the wall of quartz about the jail is 15 feet thick. Some of the most desperate crim- inals on the southwest border have been confined in the Clifton jail. and so solid and heavy are the barriers to escape that no one there has ever attempted to make break for freedom. The mo- torious Black Jack was there for months-Tombstone Epitaph.

WHEN Wu SOUGHT DEATH.
Government Scientist Says Ex-Chi~ nese Minister Gave Up Hope.

Government Scientist Says Ex-Chi~
 nese Minister Gave Up Hope.
 One of the United States govern ment's scientists who recently return ed from the orient is authority for the statement that MT. Wu Ting Fang, the astute and popular diplomatist, who preceded the present Chinese min ister, once attempted to commit sui eide in fit of depression because he believed he was not succeeding in the world, says the Washington core spondent of the Chicago Tribune. MT. Wu, it is .decleared, in spite of his savoir faire, his extraordinary good na- ture and his deep philosophy, which made him famous here and in Europe, nevertheless once tried the aristocrat tic Chinese method of suicide by gold foil, but fortunately for his country and the world he did not succeed.
 Tn his younger days, before the hon. or of being a diplomat at Washington was heaped upon MT. Wu, he was a Chinese barrister in only tolerably good circumstances. Discouragements came, and it was then the brilliant Celestial grew weary of life and tried to die. The gold foil did not work, though it is generally disastrous, and MT. Wu lived to enjoy the sensation he had created, for he was even then suffi- ciently well known to have the matter we'll aired.
 An effort of this kind did not deter him from brilliant success as dip lomat, and his only other tendency to- ward a quicker route than the natural one to the great future was when he chose to pose before a mirror in Amer ican store clothes just to see how it looked and felt or sought a dip at At lantic City in an American bathing suit In fact, whatever may have cast the temporary cloud over MT. Wu's early career, he is especially beloved by the average Celestial in his own country, and his effort to end his life is not taken as sign of cowardice, but as a piece of characteristic Chi nese stoicism.

PATTI FIRST HEARD OPERA


 It would seem almost unnatural to begin the story of great success with the assertion, "They were born rich" When Adelina Patti first saw the light at Madrid sixty years ago she proved, in this respect, no exception. To be exact, the date, which is set down variously in different biographies, is given by the singer herself as Febru- ary 19, 1S43. Her father was Salva- tore Catania Patti, Sicilian, and her mother Roman, by birth. Caterina Chiesi; both were opera Singers. Her eyes opened on the world at time. whcn the affairs of her parents wee sorely straitened. and the mother of the little one, whc was later ou to bring brighr days to her, had to sing at her post at the Madrid opera house the very night that Adelina was born.
 When she was barely three weeks old her parents. collecting their little all, started for Italy. There the two elder girls, Amelia and Carlotta, were put in a boarding school at Milan
 The baby, being of too tender age to be left behind, was taken with them to New York, where they hoped to better their fortunes amid newer and more promising surroundings than the Old World had offered. The earlier years of Adelina's life were spent ln part like those of the little American children about her, and in part in a way that served to fit her for her flu ture calling. She trundled her hoop on lower Broadway with the rest an easier accomplishment then than to- day. and by the time she was five sJ at the opera where her father and mother were singing. There she first heard the roles in which she was later to become famous, and by peep ing through hole in the scenery, got accompanied them. When she went at night with her little head in whirl from all that she had heard and seen, she says she would steal out of bed when the rest were safely asleep and enact the prima donna role to which she had listened, throwing herself wreaths of newspapers at interesting points. She was singularly outspoken then, as she is to-day, and one night. when a new prima donna had won q success to which the little singer felt she was not entitled, she said to her, at the end of trill which had won enthusiastic applause: T think you did that very badly, indeed. You should have sung it so." Then she il- frustrated the point for the surprised lady's benefit. And, though I had never studied the trill. I seemed to get it right" she added. Otherwise she was very like other children, de- voted to her doll and waiting for the sound of the ice cream mans voice William Armstrong in Success.

The Autumn Mist,

The Autumn Mist Mother Earth is dying. All the bloom of youth has left her. Withered are her wrinkled cheeks, and dull her once bright eyes.

WHY WOMEN sEx.

One of the seasons great melodra- matic successes is Why Women Sir" :" which will have its first and only Waterbury presentation on Thursday evening at Polls. It is a stirring so- ciety play from the pen of Will O.. Murphy, and tells heart story of the intrigues in the smart set of New York city. Numerous novel and sen sational climaxes and effects are in- fused into four stirring nets, and the thrilling plot is interpreted by a cast of unusual excellence. A vivid and realistic duel in the dark and the strug- gle on the stairs of the Millionaires club, swell gambling room in full operation and night snow scene in front of Holy Trinity church, New York city, are a few of the sensational incidents, Seats will be put on sale tomorrow at g, 35, 50 and 75 cents.

A FEW CANNIBAL BIRDS.
Some Feathered Creatures That Prey on Their FeIIows-Ducl< Hawks
 Are Worst Offenders.

The most unpleasant items on the bill of fare of the bird kingdom are birds themselves, writes naturalist. The most systematic cannibal among birds is the peregrine falcon, or duck hawk, and where birds are abundant this fastidious gourmand merely eats the flesh of the head and neck and eyes of each victim, leaving the re- mainder of the body untouched. Oc- casionally, as among other animals, a bird of strictly vegetarian habits will attack another bird, even one of it's own kind, and kill and eat it in the most matter of fact way.
 Perhaps every order of the higher warm blooded animals may be in- cluded in the list, from the sloth, which tnutely resigns itself to the ter rible grip of a harpy eagle. to the human child, powerless before the att tack of some bird of prey frenzied with hunger. Tn certain districts eagles and hawks have been shot smelling strongly of skunk, but whether that fearless animal really figured, except accidentally, in their diet, is to be doubted. If any group of mammals is to be entirely excepted it is only that of the whales. The small CT gnawers of wood the rodents, suf- fer most heavily and untold thou sands are devoured by hawks and owls, while cranes. shrilzes and ducks make way with their share, and even flamingoes will chase and devour a mouse with ayidity

COULD IMPROVE ON ADVICE.
1t Was Good or.Those Who Had Won Recognition, But Not for
 the Beginner.

He might have been 45 or 50 years old, and was apparently in comfortable circumstances. He was we'll dressed, and as he sat in front of the big fire at the club he puffed meditatingly at a cigar. The young man sitting near him was scowling at the fire as he smoked his cigar, relates the Chicago Post.
 Just on the threshold of your lit- ierary career said the old man at last, tnterrogatively.
 The young man acquiesced with a movement of his head.
 You have hard struggle ahead of you said the old man. Il know what 1t is. It takes a long time to secure recognition
 The young man admitted the truth of the assertion by another nod.
 'sIt requires patience, perseverance and constant improvement" continued the old man. complacently. 'One must not. get discouraged. I was almost ready to give up once or twice. but kept right on, and now I can sell any, thing write at good price. And let me give you another piece of advice: Always read your stories over in print There is nothing like it for improving a mans style. He sees the flaws in print when he would overlook them in manu- script"
 The young man took his cigar out of his mouth and looked at the other curi- lously
 That's your advice. is it?" he asked at last.
 ''It is"
 Tits the best you can give, suppose?"
 Why, yes. don't think of anything in a general way that's more important" :" s1Well, from my limited experience can improve on it nightly"

 Three tourists in Switzerland, two of them women, were compelled few weeks ago to spend night standing in the snow near the summit of the precip- itous and dangerous Pig Aela. All this time the rain came down in torrents, snow and rock avalanches fell round about, and one of the women was in jured by stone falling on her head. On Monte Rosa, in the same week, an Englishman slipped and fell over pre- cipice. He had two guides, one of whom, with herculean effort, held the rope by which the tourist was suspended more than six hours, while the other went for assistance

Joan of Arc.

Domremy, on railway branch but six miles away, lies in a beautiful val ley of the foothills of the Vosges mountains, in French Lorraine. The village has changed but little since the time of the heroic maid The two story stone cottage where she was born still stands beside the very church in which she worshipped so devoutly. Until it's recent purchase by the government, this cottage had been owned by the descendants of Joan ever since her day. Some years ago titled Englishman offered it's present repre- sentative a very large sum for the place, but, poor as he was, and needing the money sorely. the indignant owner refused to pass this memorable spot into the possession of one of the coun- try's former enemies. The national government learning of this patriotic refusal bestowed upon him the cross Of the Legion of Honor, and appointed him chief forester of that department Charles B. Wells, in Four-Track News

MILDRED HOLLAND.

A delightful evening is assure those who go to Polls theater to- night to witness Mildred Hollandf presentation of Carina Jordan's roman tic play, "The Lily and the Prince. The play is one of intense high lights and delicate shades. Between the sun shine and the ripping fountain with its pretty love scene in the first act, and the dark and somber 1nquis1tlonl chamber, with it's accompaniment or super emotion in the third act, there is a wide divergence &of dramatic treatment, giving Miss Holland ample opportunity to display the histrlonlc powers with which she is so singular iy gifted. MT Edward 0. White has given "The Lily and the Tiger, a massive and beautiful production. The play has been staged with a lav- ish disregard of expense, and yet III the scenery and costumes no garish- ness is seen The coloring and ensem- ble effects are marked by the dellcacy of treatment which distinguishes the true artistic treatment. In the com pany are many well known players. Prices are 25, 30, 75 cents, S1 and $1.50.
