etc, the providing of music, procur-
 ing badges, seats and whatever else is found necessary for the accommoda-
 ton of the convention and the in-
 dividual delegates.
 After the meeting adjourned the
 arrangement committee closed an engagement with the Douglas brass
 band for its services during the con- vention. The band will meet the after noon trains Friday and give their en- tire time Saturday under the direction of the arrangement committee. The Bisbee delegation has already sent word that it will arrive on the evening train Friday and take up head quarters at the Ord hotel. The Tomb stone and Naco delegates are also ex- pected to arrive Friday Friday night it is expected that caucuses will be practically mapped out.
 That the convention will be har- monious in its actions there is not now doubt. Some of the aspirants must necessarily be disappointed. but aside from Naco there is no question of the regularity pursued in the selection of delegates in the several precincts. The delegates named. without exception. are representative democrats and citi- zens and their decision must be ac-
 cepted as the will of the party and
 we expect to see all democrats every , where come to the hearty support of the ticket to be named next Saturday. It promises to be an unusually strong one in its makeup.

J. G. Marcy's Home Burned.

The home OF Col. j. G. Marcy
was burned Monday morning
about 10 o'clock, together with
nearly everything which the
venerable elawyerhad in the world.
The fire started from a gasoline
stove and as the Colonel related,
it was all his own fault. He had
started the gasoline stove, light
ing two burners. One went out
and as the ColonePs eye sight is
poor, he did not notice that
about quart OF gasoline had
escaped. When hestruck a match
the flame shot high to the ceiling

was all to no avail. Mrs. Marcy

into the house but the Colonel
prevented her doing SO. The
firemen responded quickly to an
alarm which was sent in, and
saved the structure from burning
, completely to the ground. The
house is owned by JOS. Roach.
A subscription paper was passed
among the spectators and was
literally signed.

T WAS not with official approval
that Duck became part of E
Ia company, but then Duck was
quite an independent sort of chap.
That was the keynote to his character
he did and said just about what he
pleased. If the major, who was post
commander in San Ildefonso, objected
to Ducks soliloquies outside his win
dow during the midday siesta, that
made no difference to Duck.
Duck perched just outside on the
lower limbs of the big mango tree,
would twist his yellow head to one
side, hold a moments silence, ruff1e
up his feathers, and then let loose that
wild, diabolical laugh of his, which
had given him his name. Then the
major would get mad and lose his
dignity and throw things at Duck, and
Duck would fiutter up a few more
limbs, out of reach of the majors mis-
siles, and say things to the major for
which there are heavy penalties in the
army regulations. But you can't
court martial a big, ugly, green parrot
with a partly yellow and a partly bald
head.
Duck hailed originally from some
Southern island, but he could swear in
the local Tagalog dialect with all the
fluency of a native. He was equally
proficient in Spanish and English, ex-
cept that he slightly lisped his Eng
Iish. He had got that habit from the
young recruit who bought him from
q Cinnamon in Manila, and brought
him up to the isolated outpost where
Company E was stationed. The re-
cruit drank vino and died of horrors,
and as he hadn't made a will, Duck
became his own master.
Hitherto, he had been kept con-
fined by small, thin chain attached
by one end to his foot and by the
other to a bar. After the death of
Ducks master. the major ordered the
birds release, hoping he might take to
the jungle. But Duck had learned
white mans ways. He stuck to the
boys, roosting at night on a bamboo
pole in the barrack mess room. The
boys supplied him with bits of desir-
able food. and he, in return, regaled
them with choice comments on cur
rent events of garrison life. As a
conversationalist, although somewhat
profane at times, Ducks equal would
have been hard to find.

Hill, as the men were lounging about
on their cots one hot afternoon, this

There was Jose, as used to be usin'
words to us we didn't understand and
never could remember long enough to
ask somebody what knowed what they
meant. What does Duck do but MEM

pet phrase. The priest looks up at

bullets. There is a strain of Moorish
blood in these people, which seems as war
like as when it flowed in the veins of
the Moorish conquerers of Spain. In
the Achinese language there are found
many Sanskrit words, and their present
sultan claims to be a direct descendant
or the first Moslem missionary who went
to Sumatra in the eleventh century. Be
cause their name differs only by a letter
from that of the Chinese, the natives of
Achin are sometimes thought to be of
Mongolian extraction. The resemblance
in name, however, is only a coincidence
as the Achinese are so called from inhab-
ting Aehin, the northern part of Sumatra
Ethnologists now agree that they are of
Semitic stock. The Achinese differ from
the other inhabitants Of SumatTa, being
darker and of shorter stature
spurred by Ancestral Pride
An ancestral pride also spurs on the
Northern Sumatrans to fight for liberty.

three centuries ago, they found a king

Most luxurious of all was the court of
the sultan, who boasted he had more
wives and concubines than Solomon, and
who dazzled the eyes of the populace
with pageants as gorgeous as those of
Nero. In one state ceremonial for exam
pie, the sultan was followed by a train
of 900 royal elephants In the year 1902
an Achinese envoy went to Holland to
confer with Prince Maurice in his camp
before Grave. The apparel Of the East
Indians gave rise TO a punning proverb

translated into English. makes the follow

confined the Achinese to the very northern
tip of Sumatra, constituting about one
eighth of the island, and by means of
railroad built across their frontier from
sea to sea, and gunboats patrelling the
coast, they keep watch and ward over
these 20 900 square miles and 100000 ma
tives with unceasing vigilance. Along the
