Darlington, Mrs. Smith brought copies of the early edi- tions of the Arizona Free Press-the first paper printed in Yuma, a,-and of the Sentinel.

A Church Wedding.

One of the prettiest church weddings witnessed in Yuma for long time was that of Alfred NJ. Foster and Miss Irene Cargill at the NJ. E. Church last Sun day eyeEing. About 150 persons were present, filling the building to its full capacity.
 The decorations were very pretty, and tastefully arranged, consisting of a profpsion of pepper boughs, banks of roses, chrysanthemums and carnations.
 The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. A. Crouch promptly at S:3G o'clock. At that hour the bride, attired in white silk and nuns yelling, carrying white carnations, was escorted to the altar by Mr. James NJ. PolhamuS, preceded by the bridesmaid. her sister, Miss May Cargill; at the altar the bride and groom met, the latter being attended by Mir. Mulford Winsor, of the Phoenix Enter prise.
 Mir. Foster is one of the most estima- ble young men of Yuma. For several years he has been connected with the Yuma Sun, and is also editor of the Arizona Pythian Record, the official publication of the Knights of Pythias Of Arizona. He is the present secre- tary of the Democratic County Central committee, and has been quite promi- nent in Yuma county politics. The bride is the accomplished daughter of Mir. A. H. Cargill, ,one of the proprie- tors of the Southern Pacific Hotel, and and is very popular among Yuma so- ciety people.
 The happy pair we're the recipients of numerous handsome presents, as well as congratulations and good wishes, which were lavishly showered upon them.
 Mir. and Mrs. Foster left on the east bound passenger the same evening, followed by deluge of rice and other expressions of esteem and good will from scores of their friends who gath cred at the depot to see them off. After honeymoon of two weeks dura- tion Mr. and Mrs. Foster will return to Yuma and make their permanent home here.

That's the condition of many sufferers from catarrh, especially in the morning. Great difficulty is experienced in clear ing the head and throat.

 To cure catarrh, treatment must be constitutional-alt alternative and tonic. -.'I was afflicted with catarrh. took medicines of different kinds, giving each a fair trial; but gradually grew worse until could hardly hear, taste or smell. then concluded to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, and after taking five bottles l was cured and have not had any return of the disease since" EUGENE FORBES, Lebanon, Kan.

AS TO THE CAUSE OF FAILURE.

The American Industries presents
some interesting conclusions in re-
gard to the causes OF the failures in
the United States in 1902 After an
alyzing these causes it says that of
the 9,971 failures 90 per cent were
due to incompetence, 80 per cent to
lack of capital, IL per cent to special
circumstances beyond the business
mans control, 10 per cent to fraud and
z per cent to inexperience. Lack of
capital, it appears, is the most danger
GUS factor in the business life, as it is
the greatest obstacle to getting into
business. incompetence, together with
which amounts, to incom-
petence, accounts for very large per
centage of failures. II to Incompetence
and ineXperience we add ''unwise cred
it's" we find that 80 per cent of failures
are explained. 1t amounts to this, in
brief that nearly a third of those who
fail in business are not well qualified
for it; another third try to do 100 large
a business, and the rest fail by reason
of fraud, competition, extravaganza,
neglect, failures of others, speculation
and causes beyond the wisest mans
control

TRAINING THE NEGROES FOR
SELF-HELP.

Chicago Record -Herald-Reeent at
tacks upon Booker 7. Washington's
ideas regarding the education of the
negro give more than ordinary public
interest to his annual report covering
the work of the normal and industrial
institute over which he presides at
Tuskegee, Ala.
AS an answer TO those who ques-
ton the value of the training given
at Tnskegee and Who impugn the
purposes Of Mr.. Washington, the con-
crete results attained in the institute
invite more than passing attention.
In the first place it is well to note
the increasing evidences of confidence
in the system founded by Mr.. Wash
ington that are supplied by the large
enrolment of students. During the
present year the institute has had an
enrolment of 1850 students, and the
average attendance has been 1,441.
These figures do not include the PAS
children in the model school nor the
rs students in the night school and
afternoon cooking classes.
Now as TO the work and results:
Among the industries taught, in addi-
ton to the regular academic, religious
and moral training. are agriculture,
besketry, blacksmithing, Bookkeeping.
brick masonry, plastering, brick MAX
ing, carpentry carriage trimming,
cooking dairying, architectural. free
hand and mechanical drawing, paint
ing. electrical and steam engineering.

cover appears the portrait of Chief

sion has been contributed by Mrs. Ad-

for study in connection with the his

from Hamlin Garland, G.. F. Rinehart,

that the United States recognize. the
new governm ent. In this, however, it
seems probable that the authorities in
Washington will so slow Should the
new government prove itself capable
of maintaining its independence of Co.
lombia there will be reason for its
being recognized by the United States.
With such a condition existing and
with the people of Panama favoring
the canal project as they appeared to
during the negotiations with Colombia
it would probably not be long before
an agreement could be reached for the
building OF the waterway. Whatever
may be the outcome of the present &C.
ton of the isthmus, its effect ON the
canal project will be watched with
great interest by the people of the
United States.

A WON DERFUL AGE.

The human race, they tell us, has
been on earth at least three hundred
thousand years. Until within the last
hundred, practically no gain was made
as to the ease or rapidity with which
one might journey from one. place to
another. Abraham could travel as fast
as Arthur Young. Indeed, the mod
erness of our present methods comes
over me with great impressiveness
when / recall the fact that I can re-
member the days of the Pony EX-
press"
But steam and electricity have revo-
lutionized the world. Combined with
human curiosity and the love for adj
venture they have turned us into a
race of globe-trotters. Tt is interest
ing to notice how soon the most start
ling changes and the most wonderful
inventions become commonplace to
us. The son of the man who content
eddy took week to get from Boston
to Washington, now finds himself per-
haps profanely impatient if train is
an hour late, or he has to wait five
minutes to get the use of a telephone.

ing, printing, wheelwrighting, launder-
ing, sewing and all the domestic arts
and sciences.
In order to give concrete example
OF the amount of work that the stu
dents do in the direction of self help
Mr.. Washington refers to the fact that
they manufactured 100000 bricks dur
ing the past twelve months, 1867 gar
ments of various kinds We're made in
the tailor shop and 541,SS7 pieces We're
Numbered in the laundry division by
the girls. TO give added force to these
concrete examples the principal in
corporates n few letters from large
manufacturing firms that have taken
students from the institute, testifying
to their efficiency, skill and industry
Mr.. Washington does not devote his
report to an elaborate defense of the
work done at the Tuskegee institute
lie prefers TO let it's graduates and
students speak for it. He merely ex-
plains that in laying special stress up
ON hand training for large proportion
OF his race in asking no peculiar edu-
cation for the negro because he is
negro, but he would advocate the same
training for the German, the jew or
the Frenchnaan We're they in the same
relative stage of racial development
as the masses of the negroes.

republican ticket being elected Mus

the Ieturns from Davenport, Musca--

done their full share towards promot-

LABOR IMMIGRATION LAW.

The amendments to the alien con-
tract labor law passed by the last con-
gress broadened the scope of that
law, SO as to make it possible for the
inspectors of immigration to catch a
great many who heretofore escaped
because of the looseness of the old
law. This old measure was constant
ly violated. In the new law the state
ment is specific that aliens shall not
be induced to come to this country
through any offer, solicitation, prom
Use or agreement. 1t is also provided
that skilled labor shall only be i'm
ported When labor of like kind can
not be Pound unemployed, in this coun-

POSITION OF THE uNlrEr
STATES.

| The proud position held by the Unit
| ed States, among the nations of the
world is eyinced by the increasing fire.
quency with which both private and
government commissions are visiting
this country, From every country on
the globe these commissions are com.
ing to study our institutions and meth,
DDS. They recognized the United
States as a people who do things and
they are DESTROYS of learning the way
in which these things are done. An
instance of this recognition is evil
denced by the late report of Simon w.
Hanauer, deputy CONSUL general at
Frankfort, Germany. He says:
Not only in political and information
al law, but in the realms OF science,
mechanic, economics and business
methods, the United States is becom-
ing the high school for the other ma
tons of the world.
This is shown by the numerous ag-
ricultural and commercial commits
sions, experts in manufacturing stu
dents OF political economy, scientists,
ministers of state and chiefs of gov
ernmental bureaus, managers of in
dustrial concerns, banks, etc-all from
the highly cultured European coun-
tries visiting the United States for
the sole purpose of studying American
working methods.
With far-seeing men in Europe it
has become matter of firm belief
that it is strictly essential to study
American ways, means and methods,
before the education of higher crafts
men or managers of industrial or pub
lie works, etc, can be called com
,plete.
These statements of Mr. Hanauer
are borne out by the facts. Three of
the greatest German financiers and
mechanics are either in the United
States or are coming soon to study
us. The great campaign that is Just
now being carried on in England
gives evidence that Great Britain is
studying our tariff. For msny years
past both China and Japan have been
taking lessons from us in civilization.
From countries that were settled cen
turtles before the United States soci-
ologists COME to us.
While we are contemplating these
facts we must not forget that these
men who visit us are quick to detect
faults. Though they come after the
good points they often come face to
lace with many that are bad. Being
the center of SO much interest we
must not conclude that all our institu-
tons are perfect, but must ever keep
in mind the fact that there is always
room for improvement.
