Gordon answered him, Some one who would stick to me-" Gordon added to other active vices and negative virtues the shiftlessness of tramp. One question CT tried to penetrate beneath the sur face of some of these aimless wander ings up and down the earth. Gordon was nettled. Too much detail dis pleased him. He stopped his question CT short by asking Am I being tried for travelling or for insanity?"

 It appears that Gordon when under the influence of cocaine is perfectly crazy, but when there Is none of the stuff in his system he is more than av- Cragcly sane.

NEGRO WAS KEEN
Subject of Lunacy Inquest Possessed
 of Sharp Wit.

It was a mixed up affair. To begin with one of the examining physicians made a life enemy out of the star wit of the lunacy inquest. After that Charles Gordon, colored, the genuine subject, figuratively speaking, walked all around and between the directors of the inquisition un- til it was necessary for the spectator to call to mind who was examining who. Instinctively one glanced from the pale face of one of the questioning doctors of medicine With his sharp inteEogations to the shining black face of the accused, with his picturesque periods and wondered if the scales were a little more evenly balanced where the battle would go. The negro was under a greater handi- cap than his color, he was a cocaine fiend. His penchant for the drug had been the genesis of his trouble. Four years of its use had done much to wreck whatever his crude mind had been just as much as four generations of slavery on the part of his fOrefath- CTS had retarded his evolution. For all that, his sensibilities were not so blunted or destroyed that he was not still possessed of a great keennesS which people call mother wit. For in stance one of the physicians decided to test his sanity by proposing the question:: What would you consider a fIfend?" Straightway the negro, in

this vicinity it will have to come with out warning.
 A MT. Horton who lives on he Tem- pc road near the old Bernard place, said that constant procession of folks and live stock passed his house from late at night until early in the morn ing He did not think there were so many people in the country.
 The Tempe carrier of the Republican said that on his way home yesterday morning he passed a two story brick house in the outskirts of Phoenix whose roof was crowded with the ter TOT stricken. On his arrival at Tempe were coming down off the Buttes, many of them in their night clothes. The more timorous ones had gone to the highest point of the Buttes, a precau- tion against the necessity of frequent zaoving to keep out of the way of the ever-rfisng flood.
 There was probably no rise in the river south of this city after eight o'clock in the evening of Tuesday. The island of Juan Fernandez was not ov- erfowed as it was predicted it would be. It was found yesterday that the HlSHesI point oI II was more lnan IouI feet above the highest water mark. The Dutch occupant and his family had, however, been unable to get back to it. There was still a fierce and muddy current racing between it and the bank. The island was inhabited on- ly by goats and dogs, the latter fierce with hunger but too much afraid of the water to attempt a swim across the channel.
 The most marvellous thing about the flood is the way in which the news of it wfs spread so quickly. It was as if it had been advertised in the Repub- liCan.

THE FLOOD GOT LOST
The Scare of Tuesday Night Was
 Hardly Warranted.

The flood of Tuesday night failed to reach the magnificent proportions that had been expected. The Mormon Flat flood, seventeen and a half feet high, got lost somewhere between the place it was last heard of and Tempe. But one thing was taught by the rumor of the deluge and that is that if any flood ever catches the people of the Salt River valley it will have to be mighty agile and sly in its movements.

ward all Filipinoss If wanted to in
fict1 upon the Islands the greatest
possible jury, would repoice to see
the establishment of Filipino indie

Ri Were independence announced, the
alleged government would speed
lily resolve itself into a military oil
garchy. The country would be torn
By contending factions Revolution
would follow revolution. The people
would be plundered. Political power
would be attained by intrigue, force

The fact that every bandit, cattle

Filipinos who have property. edu:

evangelist left sleeping alone in a
house on the camp ground near
Nacogdoches, Texas, while the
mother was conducting the meeting,
fell between the bed and the wall,
and its head having hung over the
bed-rail, it was found strangled to
death when the woman returned to
the house after the meeting. A
similar case occurred near Ruston

arm during the night and was
