A NOVEL
INVITATION

A young woman popular in Balti-
more society was much taken back not
long since to receive from a man of
her acquaintance an invitation couch
ed in the following remarkable terms
Mr.. Dash presents his compliments
to Miss Blank, and requests the pleas
ure of her company at the theater
Monday evening next. Trusting that
we may receive an early and favorable
response to the foregoing proposition,
we remain, very respectfully yours,
"Dash q Co. (lnc)."
The author of this note, it may be
added, is the junior partner in a large
wholesale enterprise in the Monumen
tai city. As such he is intrusted
with considerable portion of the cor
Iespondence of his house. So, it would
seem that in a moment of absent
mindedness he had confounded his
business with his social correspondence
closing his note with the stereotyped
form appended to all letters sent out
by the firm and to cap tie climax,
signing in the same way.
The young woman who was the re
cipient of this unconventional invita-
ton, however, evidently appreciated
the situation, for she replied in a
humorous vein.
The young man of business a day or
two afterward was amazed to receive
letter addressed to him personally, but
containing the following reply to his
invitation:
"Messrs. Dash a. Company:
Your favor of the 18th inst. duly
received and contents not ID. In reply
we would say that we accept the pro
position therein made and hold The
goods subject to yr. further instruc-
tions. Very truly yours,

WAS LET OFF
WITH FINE

Vernon Snyder's court troubles
were not nearly as serious as he seem
ed to apprehend, and if he had re-
manned and faced the charge, he could
probably have gotten off with a very
light sentence. As it was the sentence
was only about sufficient to cover the
expense of an officer going to Williams
and bringing him back.
On account of his sudden leave tax
ing a number of articles found in his
room when it was searched were sus
picioned having been stolen. This
however turned out to not be the case.
His case came up yesterday before
Justice Talbot and the extent of his
purloining from the Prescott Electric
company was shown to have been of
no very great magnitude. When asked
where ne obtained two fine silk waists
and lady's dressing gown and pair
of slippers, Snyder said he had pur-
chased them at BIumberg's store for
the purpose of making a Christmas
present to lady friend at Williams.
Mr.. Blumberg was called before the
justice and corroborated Snyder's
story. There being nothing against
him but the theft of the articles from
the Prescott Electric company, Justice
Talbot imposed a fine of $50 or fifty
days in Jail. He expects to be able to
paw the fine.

ANOTHER ROAD IS
TO BE BUILT
Preliminary Line is Being Sur
veyed in Southern Yavapai to
Tap Black Rock District.

A party of S. F. P. & P. engineers
are at present engaged in running a
preliminary line of survey from the
vicinity of Wickenburg up the Hasa
yampa, and a few days ago were plac-
ing stakes at the Crown Point mine,
about eight miles south of the Walnut
Grove dam. The superstition is that
they will continue on to the north and
make connection with the terminus of
the Bradshaw road at Crown King. In
running the line through the Black
Rock district, the surveys made to
date include as far as it is practicable
the principal mines of that section,
and the we'll known Octave property
is also to be reached that lies near
Stanton. Behind this projected rail
road the statement is also made pub
lie that the building of it is conting
ent on the examination going on in
that section today by the Amalgamated
Copper company, terminating salts
factorily so far as the building of
large smelling plant at Wickenburg by
that corporation is practicable. Agents
of the Amalgamated company are to-
day in the field in the vicinity of
WickenbuIg in a close inspection of
the mineral resources there, princi-
pally tine possibility of future cop
per product, and as that region is
rapidly coming into prominence in
the mining of the red metal, the be-
lief is that it at least is a desirable
field to look over and into. White it
is not known what results are attend
ing the efforts of the Amalgamated
people the fact is we'll enough estab-
lished nevertheless that it is a section
that enjoys a favorable name and
hence these people are investigating
it with a view of later going in it if
will warrant the maintenance of such
a plant they will erect to handle a
large output of its copper product.

A JOLLY JOSH
JUBILATION

The we'll known Gridiron club OF
Washington gave its annual dinner
recently. The propensity of its mem
bers for merry making is we'll known,
but this year they surpassed them
selves. From an extended account in
the Washington Post of their doing s
at the dinner the following is quoted {:
The most elaborate feature of the
dinner was the appearance of one of
the club members attIred as an astrol-
oyer. 81 am a fortune teller, be

tell people ir futures. l used to
tell people cir pasts, too, but that
isn't popular in Washington, so l had
to quit it..
The fortune teller by this time had
the crowd with him. When everybody
had laughed heartily at few more
funny illusions, Miss Democracy came
in to have her fortune told. The for
tune teller took her palm.
"You have recently met with a great
disappointment, - said the fortune tel
Ter, in his resonant voice. ga siren
uous man wearing eyeglasses and
showing his teeth crossed your path.
Your vote line is very short. In fact,
L see scarcely any votes at all. In adj
dition to your other affiictons, you
lost favorite relative named Mis-
souri,, along about November 9Th. You
have suffered terribly from constitu-
tional trouble-PhiIippinitis, with
anti Imperialism symptoms-but you
were cured lately by about two million
majority. You are in great danger.
There is a taikative man out in Ne
braska who is trying to abduct you.
Good gracious the safe and sane line
is scarcely perceptible! There is a
tragedy in you life. You have been
baseIy betrayed by soldier. Hold up;
l see his name. 1t was old General
Prosperity. You need rest, recupera-
tion and reorganization. should ad
wise you"
At this point the fortune teller was
interrupted by the appearance of sew
eral we'll known Democrats, who had
come to attend a reorganization of the
party, and who insisted upon having
their fortunes told. Elk Senator Davis,
William j. Bryan, Thomas Taggart,
Grover Cleveland, Thomas Watson,
David B. Hill, Eugene Debs and VIM.
X. Hearst were all represented, with
cOlored Democrat thrown in for good
measure. These gentlemen, imperson /
ated, of course, by members of the
club, we're all targets for the keen re
marks of the fortune teller. The eli /
max came when the ghost of Thomas
Jefferson appeared. When this ancient
and honorable Democrat repudiated /
the whole outfit the reorganization
party came to grief.

WHISKY WAS
THE CAUSE

! At the recent court session in Tomb
stone, G. G. Mcneil was sentenced to
tive years in the territorial prison,
less seven months that he has already
served in the Tombstone Jail. Mcneil
was sentenced to one year for forgery
ana one year for opening a letter that
die not belong to him. The circum-
stances we're that letter addressed to
an attorney named George Neale was
delivered TO him. He opened it and
it contained check for twenty FIVE
dollars which he endorsed with the
other mans name and got the money.
He admitted the fact in court but con-
tended that he was expecting just such
check and thought it might belong to
him so he cashed it without intending
to sommit felony. Mcneil was at
ons time superintendent of the Mari
cora q Phenix railroad but could not
stand prosperity and started on the
road 10 ruin at the pace that kills.

he was given a position in the ST P. &

Words of pity rather

his term of service is ended and make
of himself the man which his abilities
entitle him to be.
