 A. H. Glenn, of Chelsea, Michigan, has been spending few days in this county looking after his interests in some mining property in the Brad shaws. He is interested in the Cadil- lac Mining company which owns some good looking property near the famous Grown King mine. This is his first visit to this section but he is very much in love with the place and thinks the Bradshaw mountain district will be one of the greatest mining dis tricts in the west in short time after the completion of the railroad, which event is very close at hand, it being calculated that the work will be fin ished sometime during the month of April.
 Erwin Baer, the we'll known Pres colt photographer, who has taken pic lures in this section for the past ten or twelve years, and who has one of the greatest collections of scenic pie lures in the territory, is now at work on a fine souvenir for Prescott and vii cinity. The souvenir will contain not less than thirty two pages of views embracing the principal buildings and industries of Prescott but also the leading mining camps of the county. Interspersed with the pictures will be descriptive matter of the industries and possibilities of this section. The latter feature is one that has never been combined with any souvenirs previously issued from this place, and should be a winning feature.

Entertain Directors.

The employees of the B. B. company entertained the officers and directors of that company last evening at stag party in the Monarch bowling alleys. The evening was one of unalloyed pleasure and will be long remembered by everyone fortunate enough to be present.
 The alleys were rented for the even- ing and all outsiders were excluded from the room and everybody turned themselves loose for good time. As there were twenty six gentlemen pres ent and only three bowling alleys in order to accommodate those who could not bowl card tables were pro- vidad and some great games of high five, sluff, hearts, etc., were played. Kirkpatrick, who had made such rec ord at hearts on the evening before at the K. P. party, was barred from play ing hearts and had to put in his time eating sandwiches and bowling.
 There were some present who might chase a pig down an alley all right but the only way they could knock down any balls was to hold on to the ball, spread out their legs and slide alleys themselves. This was especially true of Charles Steel. The way he happen ed to find out that method was be- cause be could not let go of the balls. G. A. Bray also had a hard time to let loose of the balls and used both hands to pitch the balls with, but it is said be took the prize for high roll ing.

 "Harry K.

Later MT. Major went west and To- eated in Prescott, Ariz., being in the employ of a large mercantile house.

Major comes to Elmira from At lantic City, where he had charge of the South Jersey district. Possessed of great executive ability and very en- ergetic in furthering his business affairs, Mir. Major was sent to this city as the right man to develop a fruitful field, and it is already evi- dent that the selection of the firm was a wise one.''

eeon. Mir. Mosher was at one time editor of the Phenix Gazette, and was the owner and publisher of a paper in that city. In the early sos he left this territory going to San Francisco, and later to New York, where he was employed on the large dailies both as editorial writer and reporter. It was there that he contracted the dread disease, consumption, which finally resulted in his death. All old time residents of Arizona will remember. him and many citizens of Prescott, of more recent residence will also re- member him as he spent several months in Prescott last summer. In addition to being highly talented he was a genial and companionable gen. tleman, popular with all with whom he became acquainted.
 A. H. Giles, an employe of the s. F. P. & P. railroad company, in the shops, and a brother of Dan R.Gilles, a we'll known engineer of that road, died yesterday evening of pneumonia after a brief illness. The remains were given to H. Nj. Maus X Co. to be prepared for burial, and will be ship ped on tomorrow's train to Prince Ed wards Island for burial. D. R, Giles will accompany them. Deceased was B years old, and was highly respected by all who knew him. He was taken with a cold about the first of the month, but was up and around to and including Sunday, when symptoms of pneumonia developed and his condi- tion rapidly became worse, until death occurred. In addition to the brother the deceased leaves an aged and de- voted mother in Prince Edward Isl and, to mourn the loss of her beloved son. As she is S2 years old, D. R. Giles decided that he could not do otherwise than to take his dead broth CT back to their mother for burial at the old home. A short funeral ser vice will be held at the residence of D. R.

after being arraigned in court on a
charge of eXtortion, he was greeted
with cheers and more strikes were
ordered. 1t is true that Weinseimer
should be held innocent until he is
proven guilty, but personal dignity
and regard for the cause of labor
should have impelled him not to COM
promise his organization while there
was a question of his integrity; and
reasonable discretion on the part Of
the union should have counseled
against any decisive action either for
or against the man until the actual
facts in the case were determined.
Labor is constantly on trial before
public opinion, and it behOOves labor.
if it would always possess the public
sympathy, which naturally turns to
the cause of the under dog, and which
is so essential to the success Of labor
in any conflict, to act consistently
with circumspection and with con-
servatism, erring rather by leaning
backward in the endeayor to stand
righteously upright than by risking
. painful bump on the nose by reach
ing too far forward in the maintain

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
The problem of how 10 obtain enough
public Fairgrounds for the children Of
Washington IS, the Georgetown people
think. one of the most important civic
questions we now have before us. Over
here there Is almost a total lack Of such
grounds: but there are also other sec
tons of the city equally needful of the

In view Of this fact, and in considera-
ton of the further fact that the proper
development of children physically is
Of prime Importance. IL seems to me pc
culiar that the proposition 20 set on
foot at once a vigorous campaign to Sc
cure the larger and more numerous play
grounds has not aroused a more uni
versal interest.
1t is true that there are many who
have written in your columns about the
matter. and we are gratified that so
much work has been done by the As
ISOLATED Charities and private individ-
uals. but it does seem that the people of
Washington ought TO awake TO the real

terity.

Verbal Assurances >

The Russian ambassador at Con
stantinople has given the Porte yer
bal assurances" that the remaining
ships Of the volunteer fleet" if al
lowed to pass the DardaneIles. will
remain under the commercial flag and
viii not be employed as cruisers. The
exodus has therefore already begun.
At first Turkey demanded a written
promise that the vessels would not
be used as warships, but Russia de-
clined to give this, and so the Porte
rests satisfied with verbal assur-
ances.
The value Of Russian verbal assur-
ances on a point like this Will be
rightly estimated by those who recall
the repeated assurances which Rus
STA gave as TO the evacuation of Man
ehuria. Turkey, Of course, cannot fol-
low these vessels or prevent their use
for any warlike' purpose whatever:
but 1t may safely be assumed that
England viii keep an eye on them
and will act promptly If Russia uses
them improperly.
These ships, if used as actual re-
endorsements of Russia's naval
strength, make a formidable addition
to her fleet. One of them. the Sara
toll, is a vessel Of $3.50 tons and OF
great speed The Tambolf is Of about
the same size. The Kief. the Vlsdf-
mir and the Voronej are even larger.

Will venture to use them to hold up
neutral vessels, but they may yet fig
ure in some interesting international
complications.

How to Catch a Thief.

They do things peculiarly in New
York, which just now is nightly ex-
cited in its own strange and hysterical
fashion over the presence lin its
midst of a band of Italian ddnapers
known as The Black Hand" a regu-
lar popular priced melodrama society.
The latest exploit of this gang was
to send a letter to a wealthy tailor
informing him that he and his wife
and his child would be killed unless
$500 were forthcoming for the pecu-
mary benefit of the gang. The tailor
was to put the 5000 in his pocket.
follow man with a black musUache.
who would touch him three times on
the shoulder, walk about five feet in
front of the tailor, then turn suddenly
and walk toward the trembling vic
tim, demanding the cash.
The tailor promptly and wisely
turned the letter over to the police.
The police with equal wisdom told
the tailor to follow directions, and
they would be on hand TO attend to
the man with the black mustache.
Then the police considerably revealed
the direful plot TO the newspaper re-
pOrters eagerly searching for hot
weather fiction, and the newspaper
reporters in their turn zeaIously
printed the full directions of The
Black Hand and the plans of the po-
lice for catching the nefarious per
petrators Of the outrage.
Evidently the New York way Of
catching a thief is to advertise as
publicly as possible that the police
viii be at a certain spot at a certain
time. Then, if the thief wants to l.a
caught, he can be at the same spot at
the same time. The New York force
should use the Japanese method of
dealing with the war correspondent,
and realize that self-advertisement is
not so important as the genuine pro-
lection of the public
