Chinese immigration.

Taper Reed Before the Ch1utduqud Circle.
In 1882 Congress passed a law
prohibiting the Chinese from emil
grating to the United States
except under certain conditions,
and in my estimation it was one of
the most beneficial acts Congress
ever bestowed upon the American
public. Prior to 1882 the Chinese
had been emigrating to our west
ern states in great numbers where
they were given work in all the
common branches of labor. The
reason for this preference was be-
cause the Chinaman would work
for about one-half of the wages a
white man could work for, as most
of the white laborers had their
families to care for. The situation
grew critical and the Western peo-
pie threatened to exterminate the
Chinese unless Congress did some
thing. Congress, slow to act at
first, but always sure in the end,
finally passed the law denying the
Chinese the right to land on
United States soil.
OF course there has been more
or less agitation against the law.
Some think Congress did right,
while others hold that there should
be no discrimination against the
Chinese any more than against
ANY other nation. The Chinese
question is one that has been we'll
studied and looked into by the
prominent men of our country and
was given careful consideration
before the law was passed. :
What are the Chinese, and what
have they ever done that any good
American citizen should wish to
put them on equal terms with
himself? There are no great
men among the Chinese; as a ma
ton they are 200 years behind the
times, and not one redeeming feat
ure is there among the whole ma
tion. They are q low, degenerate,
idolatrous race of people and they
always will be. for they are lazy
and shiftless. I don't mean to say.
there are no thrifty or energetic

Jack was scared as badly as | was
but he wouldn't admit it. could
not say anything. My lips were
trembling and blue. Bob looked
at me and said, "What tells the
matter with you? Don't stand
there grinning like a monkey. Say
somethingr'
aUm-um- um-er-er," I said.
Whats that?' yelled Bob.

again.
Don't you start any bughouse
capers at a time like this" Bob
shouted, ''it's up to us to. get out
of here"
I was facing the front windows
and seemed utterly powerless to
act. The fourth man snored audi
bly,. I managed to stammer my
fears: "Boys, always knew I'd
die in some awful way, but I never
thought I'd live till the end of the
world, that's just what's hap
pening.
you're daffy,'' said Bob, "this
is only an awful storm, that's all.
Lets see how it looks from the
side windows" But I was getting
my moneys worth from the front.
'Say, fellers, /" said Bob from his
place by the side window-and
then he stopped. l turned toward
him as did Jack.
Bob was staring out of the win
dow, his gaze transfxed. He was
immovable. By the glare of the
lightning we could see him turn
pale and start trembling too. By
a superhuman effort he turned to
us shrieking: 'sSay, there's three
moons in the sky! You're right, :"
he continued, "the end of the world
has come!
Three moonsp' Jack and I re-
peated. We all turned to the side
windows, and sure enough right
up in the sky we're three pale
moons with lightning playing
around them. There could be no
mistake. There we stood, leaning
on each other for support.
"What shall We do?" gasped Bob.
"Do? Why, pray said Jack,
and we did pray after fashion.
The only prayer Bob knew was,
"Now I lay me down to sleep."
He prayed that prayer four times,
and the three moons kept on shin
ing. The fourth man still slept.
"Let him die sleeping said Jack,
"it's better for him"
Bob started the fourth time on
his prayer and got as far as, IF [
should die before I wake" when
the room filled with an unearthly
Hight. It shone q CHASTITY blue
and seemed to our nervous senses
to emit sulphuric odor. Bob
stopped praying. He started to
make things square before quitting
earth.
sSay, Harley he said, "coming
| up on the train I held out hand
on you and robbed you of 20
cent jack pot, but I want you to
forgive me before I die
Chats all right, Bob" I said,
sit was me who kept swiping your
cigars, but TIL pay you back"
s'Never mind, said he, moneys
no good where we're going
Jack was in favor Of leaving dy-
ing messages, but Bob reminded
him that no one would be left to
read them.

read any of Ingersolls books.
He's an awful liar. Oh, if I only
had been better man! If I had
just one more chance I'd quit

deed; but at the time it wasn't 80
funny. -Four of us, all young fel-
lows, we're out on trip for New
York daily paper. We arrived at
the city I speak of just at supper
time after long trip from Albany.
The hotel we stopped atwas named,
s'The Grand Imperial" and as it
had twelve rooms, it was really
worthy of the title. The landlord
showed us the room we were to oc-
cupy. It was on the second floor
and was a great big front room
with two enormous beds. From
the front windows one could look
out over the roof of a portico into
the street. The side windows
faced a high hill. I'm explicit
about the location of the windows
so you will understand how we
could see what occurred.
About 10 O'Clock all was still;
even the night policeman had
found a good place to doze. Then
it began to thunder and the light
ming would now and then flash
in our room. Then it rained!
I thought it rained hard one day
when was at circus, but it only
drizzled in comparison with this
deluge. I've heard people say
they have seen rain descending in
buoketsful. / never believed it,
but now I know it can and some-
times does. This was one of those
times. Yes indeed.
My bedfellow, Jack, said after a
particularly vivid flash, care you

''Say, Bob, wake up that ossifed

Jack. Bob mumbled something
that sounded like, "shut it your
SELF" and pretended to go asleep
again. The fourth man never
budged.
"All right" said Jack, ..your
clothes will be fine looking by
morning
Bob got up and rescued his
clothes. He shut the window and
as he did so he said, "This beats
all l ever saw, just come here.'
So we got up, and of all the sights!
Down in the street was rush
ing river and the wind was terrific.
The thunder got louder. The
lightning became more bright and
flashed longer and at shorter in
tervals than ever. And all this
time the fourth man was having
pleasant dreams. The racket never
leased him.
wake him up" said I.
'Let him alone" said Bob, she's
happy So we let the fourth man
sleep in peaceful Ignorance.
Now all this time the storm was
only fooling. It was only getting
up steam. This was the prelude
and the real thing was yet to come.
It came all right, and when it did
I got scared. I always was kind
of afraid sort of a fellow any way.
My knees began to tremble; /
commenced to see things! The
building began to shake as much
as I did. Such booming of
thunder! It sounded like a can

brating long past Fourth of July

flashed I got weaker. By glancing
at the others, I could see them
getting scared too. Bang! some
thing went, and it wasn't thunder
that time-it was the sign of the
Grand Imperial that had become
unlocked and fell to the ground.

And Tired, Fretted
Mothers
Find Comfort in Cuticura Soap
and Ointment
When All Other Remedies and
Physicians Fail.

Instant relief and refreshing sleep
for skin-tortured babies and rest for
tired, worried mothers in warm baths
with Cuticura Soap, and gentle anoint-
ings with Cuticura Ointment, purest of
emollient skin cures, to be followed in
severe cases by mild doses of Cuticura
Resolvent Pills. This is the purest,
sweetest, most speedy, permanent and
economical treatment for torturin0,
distiguring, itching, burning, bleeding,
scaly, crusted and pimply skin and
scaly humours, with loss of hair, of in
fants and children, as well as adults,
and is sure to succeed when all other
remedies and the best physicians fail.
The agonizing, itching and burning
of the skin, as in eczema: the friohtfni
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss Of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in SCALED
head; the facial Disagreement. as in
pimples and ringworm; the awful suf-
fering of infants, and anxiety of worn
out parents, as in milk crust, letter and
salt rheum, all demand a remedy of
almost superhuman virtues to success
fully cope with them. That Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills are such
stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement is made regarding them that
is not justified by the strongest evil
dence. The purity and sweetness, the
power to afford immediate relief, the
certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy have made them the standard
skin cures and humour remedies of the
civilized world.

INDIAN SCHOOL BAND
Concert on the City Hall Plaza Sat.
urday Night.

The Phoenix Indian school band OF
twenty-four pieces. already equipped
with a first-class local reputation, as
we'll as having been heard and APP
plauded by some hundreds of thousands
of the American people at the Omaha
exposition and elsewhere. has COM
pleted arrangements for a campaign in
California, to be prefaced by a semi
outing tour overland through AriZopa.
The band boys hope not only to have a
Measurable summer, but at various
places they will visit and give concerts
they hope to do enough business in the
box office to pay their expenses. Mon
day evening the band, which is under
the management of b. B. Custer, the
1isciplinarian of the school. and the di-
rectorship of Professor Carlo ContradO,
will leave for San Carlos and Rice sta
tien. From there they will go over
land to Fort Apache, Snowflake and.
Holbrook. and then to Williams by rail.
where they will play on July 4, and 6.
After that they will go to California
for AN extended trip.
But before leaving they desire to give
a concert in Phoenix. They have ap
peared in the city many times to play
special numbers and in street parades,
etc, but have never given a regularly
arranged concert here. They have de-
cided. therefore to give the people a
treat Saturday night at o'clock. wher
they will hold free open air concert
on the city hall plaza, to which every
body is invited. Following is the pro-
gram that has been arranged for that
occasion:

A CASE OF INSANITY


Mrs. A. NJ. Clancy was before the
probate court yesterday on charge of
Insanity. She lives on Mckinley ave-
nue.. not far from First street, and
about II o'clock the night before had
disturbed the neighbors so much that
a call was sent to the police station.
Officer Andrews responded. When he
got to the Clancy house he believed
that it was an insanity case. and re
called up the office of the sheriff Dep
uty Widmer went out and the woman
was brought to Jail.
She was discharged from the asylum
last August after a confinement of a
year. When she was brought into
court there was no sign of insanity ex-
cept extreme nervousness. She ar
swered all questions intelligentIy and
In language which showed that she
had been woman of refinement. When
she was asked her age she smiled and
hesitated: she did not know whether
she was So or 40. but after a little fur
Their hesitation she admitted that the
latter figure was probably the nearer.
Two of the neighbors were present as
witnesses. They were friendly TO tho
accused, but they said the ANNOYANCE.

DISORDER AT GLENDALE
Wagon Load Of Prisoners From That
Peaceful Precinct.

Constable ]. G.. Hammels of Glendale
precinct arrived at the office of the
sheriff late yesterday afternoon with
a wagon load of prisoners consisting
of ten men and one woman. He had
taken them up for a disturbance of the
peace and drunkenness. They were. all
still drunk enough to show that the
constable had made no mistake. That
there had been a disturbance of the
peace was equally evident. One of the
men had been pounded nearly to pieces.
There was blood on all of them in
Guiding the woman. All of them are
Mexicans. The woman is young but
not innocent. They are all strangers
in Glendale and had been working in
camp near there. Warrants for their
arrest were issued by Justice Robert
son before whom they will be tried to-
day. There is a justice of the peace
at Glendale but 1t was impossible Tor
him to handle the case without great
deal of expense to the county. There
is no Jail at Glendale. If the warrants
had been issued from the local court
the prisoners would have to be tried
there. 1t would have been necessary
TO bring them to the county Jail ANY
how and then ii would have been
necessary TO bring them TO the county
Jail anyhow and then it would have
been necessary TO take them back for
trial Constable Hammels was accom-
panied by two assistants.
The coming Of the prisoners was like
a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. This
il the first time since the beginning
of the year that Glendale. one of the
most peaceful communities in the
county has contributed anything to the
county Jail. The precinct had been 81
lent so long that the sheriff's officers
were not sure that there was Justices
precinct there and Mr.. Hammels
though a prominent citizen in that
community had never been heard OF as
a peace officer.
