The boy who is half-past

And the clear blue eye from his

Smiled happily up to me,
I held him close as the twilight

And called him my dear
little son."
Then I said: II have wonder

Where it is that my baby's
gone!
'I'd a baby once in a long white
gown
Whom l rocked just as do
you.
His hair was as soft as yellow
silk,
And his eyes were like vlolets
blue,
His little hands were like pink
tipped flowers
See, yours are so strong anc

He has slipped away and is los

Did my voice half break as tn
thoughts would come
Of the sweet and sacred day
When motherhood's first jov

Important Decision.

The Guardian states that it is in- formed by Assessor BirJno that he has decided to assess the solve nt debts owned by the peoph O Graham county. In commenting upon the sub iect the Guardian says:
 At first this announcement had but little meaning, but when Mr. Bird no stated that his decision embraced deots secured either by note or mort gage, it created consternation among the money lenders. Consultations have been held, the subject has been discussed freely and the assessor has been roundiy abused aud condemned by d number of our money lenders. but 90 far as heard from no borrower has made any complaint. IL is claimed that such action will drive all the money out of the county. but the as sessor overcomes this argument by the fact that money owned in this county are debts due here and assessablc here, and the fact that they may he re- moved from the county for the purpose Of evading taxation will avail the owners nothing. The position is also taken that to assess money secured by mortgage is double taxation. The as- sessor takes the ground that as money is property and asse-sabie d. such while in the possession Of the owner, that it does not cea~e to be such be- cause it is loaned aj good rate Of interest"
 The probabilities are that the legal ity of the assessment will be tested in the courts.

The ERA is under obligations to it's esteemed friend, w. H. McNeil, or Washington. D. C., for the following newspaper clipping, anent the entcr- tainment ot a colored man by Grover Cleveland while president of the United States:
 Nashville, Tenn, March 23 Some days since Thomas F. Watson. eX- Populist candidate for President in commenting On former President Cleve- lands letter denying the statement that C. II. J. Taylor had dined a; the White House during his term, gave out an interview in which he said Cleveland invited Fred Dougla, and his wife to his (Cleaveland'e bridal recep- tion, anp that they were present.
 Today former Minister To Chile, James n Porter, said.
 "I know from personal knowledge that Fred Douglas was not invited to the reception named by Mr. Watson. or to any other social function during Mir. Cleveland's term of office. Mr. Watson has been mieled by the pres ence of Fred Douglass and his wife at an official reception by the President to the public. This reception was an nOunced by the press of Washington, accompanied by statement that the public and all officials commissoned by the president and their friends were invited. No other invitations were ex- tended. Fred Douglass held com mission at that time as recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, signed by President Arthur.

COMMENTS ON WARREN
 PROPERTIES.
Total Capacity of New Shelters 35O,OOO
 Tons Annually.

George L. Walker in the Boston Commercial, speaking or the Copper Queen and Warren district properties, say-:
 Copper Queens new smelter. has five large furnaces. each having d maximum capacity Of 800 tons of ore daiiv. or 4 total of about sJO. GOO tons annually. r it can De made to treat as much ore as indicated, and should lhe ore yield an average Of per cent. copper, its annual output would amount to Sj,OO0, GOO pounds, or more than the presen, production Of any one mining company, excepting only Anaconda.
 Ut is not, however. the intention or expectation Of the owners, Phelps, Dodge (I Co.,, that the Copper Queen shall supply 2,5O0 tons of ore daily. The smelter owned by the same com pany at NacOzari, Mexico, is to be dis mautled, and the ores of the Phelps Dodge mines in Mexico are to be ship ped to Douglas, Arizona, where the new shelter is located, and there treated. It is also planned to bring to the new shelter a considerable ton mage Of ores from the Old Dominion and United Globe mines, which are said 10 furnish very desirable tluX for the Bisbee product. The output of the Copper Queen mine will be in creased; but 70 DO such extent d. has been indicated by those who supposed the new shelter was to be run eXclu- siyely on new ores from that mine.
 The Bisbee district, where the Copper Queen, Calumet X Arizona and several new companies promoted by Lake Superior and l'ittsbUrg capital are operating, promises to, within ten years produce as much copper as Is now coming from the Butte camp. Ii, Of course, remains to be seen, however, whether or not the ores from the new mines will maintain their present phenomena! richness for any COnsld- era6le length Of time. The Greene Consolidated. located little way over the line in Mexico, is not supplying the high grade of ore that it did at the start; and II its record is to be fol- lowed bv Bisbec, the camps incre ise in volume of copper production will be less than is now indicated.'

A coroner's jury was imoaueled soon after the tragedy. which took the testimony of G. w. Williams, Sr.. and Walter Leake, fireman on special train from Doug as. With the end in view of securing additional evidence, the case was adjourned until this evening at o'clock.
 The coroner's inquest developed the fact that deceased was shot under the left shoulder blade. the ball coming out near the right nipple.
 The evidence of Mr. Williams in regard to the pistol which is supposed to have been on the body Of deceased was that when the shooting occurred he immediatly rushed to the fallen man. He saw Mrs. Lane coming from her home. but did not see a gun in her hands. Mrs. Lane arrived first, and knelt. over the form of her hus- band, who fell on his face. Mir. Will Hams saw that life was not extinct and turned the body over, and after that, noticing that Mrs. Lane had the pis- tol in her hand, be asked the Mexi- can boy to take it from her which he did and when the boy handed the gun to him 1t went of, showing it had been cooked.

ANOTHER BIG COAL FIND.
Immense Coal Deposits Discovered East
 of Duncan.

It would seem that this particular section Of the southwest is now about to enjoy an era Of rapid development which is usually characterized as a boom"
 One good thing follows another in such rapid succession a. to be posi- lively bewilderingz Hardly had the people begun to realize that coal had been found at Morenci, when another coal strike, which is said to be even Of greater importance than the first, is reported from Duncan, and the excite ment attending its announcement was something like a report Of the dis covery of the Adams diggins in early days.
 If there is any one thing lacking 10 make the Clifton Morenci district the greatest camp on the face of the earth, it can be expressed in four letters COAL, and now that an assurance Of this important factor in the up-build- ing and development Of the district l. doubly assured, all of the people are congratulating themselves. Those who were fortunate enough to get loca- tions in the new coal fields are especially jubi,A-l, because they will reap a direct Sell as an indirect benefit from ihf gery.
 The first knI Fne strike is Cliff ton was on Sattrg-3 morning last when Wm. Spaw came and reported that he had secured q lght claims of l60 acres each, for himself and friends, which included several Clifton people. He reported that the discovery was made by Sheriff Jim Parks and Gus Eobbs, of Morenci, who located a num- of claims for themselves and friends at Norenci.
 On Saturday arrangements were made in Clifton to send Lamar Cobb into the field to survey the claims and if possible to secure other locations. On the same day large party Of Mo- renci people left that camp on horse back for the new fields, and put in Sun day locating claims.
 II is said by those who have been at the new fields that in surface indica- tions they lar surpasS those at Morenci. These fields were discovered about ten years ago by couple of prOspectOrs who were gold hunting. They knew nothing of coal, and as they were limited in their resources, they soon abandoned their property and left for parts unknown. At the time they brought specimens of the coal into Duncan, but they made no effort to interest others in their find and soon after their departure the matter was forgotten. In fact at that time the great importance of d coal mine to the district was not fully realized, which perhaps also accounted for the lack Of interest shown.
 The discovery was made near Riley Springs in Grant county, New Mexico about fifteen miles almost east from Duncan, and q few miles east ol Steeple Rock, we'll known land mark Of that section. Tte oriein discov- erers sunk q shaft 30lfeet deep, which, it is said, is all in coal. It is said that chunks of coal weighing hundreds of pounds, are lying around on the ground. The coal is said to contain considerable sulphur and burns readily in q camp fire.
 If the strike is Of half as mGh inn portance as it is believed to be, there is no doubt that it will be developed at once. and that railroad will be built from Duncan 10 the new fields before the summer is over.

A NEW SPECIES OF ROSE,
Indianapolis Star,

froH the inulanapOllS star.
 Peter Hines, foreman of a greenhouse plant at Newcastle, Ind. has made a discovery of a rose bush which his firm values at s5000. The bush was discovered by acicdent. and by the mysterious meth ods in which flowers intermix has pro- duced a new species of rose which is unknown in the trade.
 It Is a combination of the American Beauty rose with the Bridesmaid. Con- trary to the usual way. the colors are not blended solidly, but the petals of the rose contain alternate stripes of the solid pink of the Bridesmaid rose and solid stripes of deep red from the American Beauty.
 Hines was picking roses for a shipment to the Chicago house of the firm when he saw this peculiar rose, and placed 1t among the shipment. designating the lo- cation of the bush. Immediately upon its arrival in Chicago experts examined it, with the result that instructions were wired here to preserve it with the great est care and ship 1t to Chicago, which has been done. It will be given the best of attention there, and the new rose will be carefully cared for for the market The mixing together of the two roses was an acicdent.
