dies. Matches were In large tin box,
ready for constant and instant use.
Refastening the drawer, and replac-
ing the books, the young girl proceeded
to the wardrobe on the opposite side Of
the room, and unlocking II, she saw at
the back door bolted on her side, which
gave her an immediate feeling Of Se-
curity.
Softly drawing the bolt she looked out
into small passage that led merely from
her own room to similar door inside
a wardrobe she had seen In the baronet's.
These two rooms communicated with
this little passageway from the inhab-
tied part Of the house, and these alone.
Directly opposite her door was a smaller
one, which she at once knew must lead
to the Haunted Tower, and deserted
rooms, belonging to this singular old
mansion.
Retreating to her own apartment
through the wardrobe, Ethel bathed her
face and hands, smoothed her hair, and
once more turned towards the room Of
the invalid.
At the threshold, however, she met old
Mrs. FREEDOM. the nurse, who had been In
the family for years, who whispered that
the baronet had fallen asleep, therefore,
she might walk around the grounds II
she chose.
Feeling that the fresh air would revive
her shrinking spirit, Ethel tripped down
the broad staircase and stepped upon
the piazza. As she did so, she almost
ran against gentleman just entering.
Raising her eyes to apologize, she
found herself face to face with DIR. Elfen-
stein, the kind friend that she had part,
ed with few weeks before. He was as
much astounded as herself 1t seemed, al

distinctly heard a carriage stop before

A School Breakfast.

Teachers in eastern schools have of ten found that little children were una ble to study because they had been sent to school without breakfast, or with an insufficient or an indigestible one and teachers all over the country are beginning to give the matter atten- ton. The trouble is partly the result of poverty, but not entirely so. Among the poorer classes of people there is a great deal of inattention to meals; bad cooking is prevalent, and there is almost no comprehension of the spe- cial needs of children. What adults eat is given to babies. The children often have a nice piece of bread given them in the morning to eat wherever they happen to be, and that constitutes their breakfast.
 With insufficient or badly cooked or indigestible food the children are sent to school, where they are sleepy, inat- tentive and seem stupid. Some kin dergarten teachers, and occasionally teachers in the public schools, have in- troduced the practice of feeding the children, with the result of finding them transformed. A sufficient amount of nourishing food makes them wide awake, bright, good-natured and teach able. The public now supplies free ed ucation. In many states it supplies free text books. If it also supply free breakfasts the next suggestion will be free dinner and free clothes.
 But it is a condition and not a theory" that confronts the school au- thorities. The intelligence, physical weI-being and general efficiency of a great part of the rising generation in our cities is more or less involved, and theories must yield to press ing necessities. The free break fast cannot be promiscuously supplied; the matter is a delicate one to handle. But there is evidently some thing to be done in that direction. IT accordance with the suggestions of Su- perintendent Maxwell of the New York schools, in an address in St. Louis Milwaukee alderman has raised g fund from charitable persons, which will be disbursed by a committee oi prominent women. who will see tha' janitors furnish free breakfasts to al children who apply. It is evident that parental neglect, or poverty, calls fol some remedial action.

A New Statesman at the Bat.

Statesman Nick Sanders, chairman of the democratic county committee, has gone into the manifesto business. That is, MT. Sanders obligingly per mits his name to be printed at the bottom Of a pathetic circular to the voters of AIaricopa county. Putting English words together in writing is not one of Statesman Sanders strong "rints;" besides, the circular bears the | earmarks Of the familiar handiwork of M. A. Smith, gentleman somewhat generally known as perpetual candi- date for office.
 MT. Fowler's triumph in this cam paign." solemnly declares the circular, "would sound Arizona's death knell, and the territory we all love so well would soon be an uninhuential county of New Mexico; and SO we ask you in ! the name of Arizona, in the name of Maricopa county. and in the name of a free and independent state to give this matter your personal attention and help the democratic party to maintain and perpetuate the autonomy of Ari- zona by aiding to elect the democratic ticket and thus put a veto upon the double dealings Of the republican party, which puts party success above the prospects and hopes of this territory"
 And of course the voters will proceed to take Statesman Sanders advice. They know that the way to protect | Arizona's interests in the United States senate is to slap the senate majority in the face and invite them to unite this territory to New Mexico-the in tenigent voters of the county will be guided by Mir. Sanders advice, of course.
 Statesman Sanders and Candidate Smith are two very competent witness es on the question. When not occu- pied in driving his dray or in the per formauce of his functions as chief heel CT of the Fourth ward, in Phoenix, Statesman Sanders has devoted his time to a thorough study of the situa- tion in congress, and Statesman San ders not only knows all about it, but he is eager to tell his fellow citizens | what he knows. What does it amount to that the republicans have nearly a two-thirds majority in the United States senate, and have it absolutely in their power to put through any leg islation that they wish? Cannot Mark Smith go down to Washington with a club in. his hands and chase the major ity into the woods? And will not the | darnocratfc senators. each of them with a hundred pet measures of his own abandon all efforts to do anything for
 their states, drop all other legislation and line up at the command of Mark Smith to waste the session in talk against joint-statehood? Statesman Sanders knows they will.
 And as for Mark Smith, of course h' is a disinterested witness. He is mere ly running for office from force o' habit and to oblige his beloved constit'
 uents. He'd rather maui nails than g to congress.

Contrlbutory Negligence.

The doctrine of contributory negli- gence is receiving a wonderful and a new interpretation and application in tatives of a Slocum victim against the Knickerbocker Excursion company for damages. It is urged on behalf of the defendants that there was con- tributory negligence on the part of the decedent. and the fact that his body was encircled by one of the Slocum rotten life preservers is relied upon to help out the astonishing contention. The contributory negligence consisted, in the opinion of the counsel for the defense, in the fact that the so-caIled life preserver was composed of rotten cork in a casing of rotten bagging, and that if the decedent had selected a sound life preserver he would have been saved.
 Most unquestionably. It might even be said that if he had not taken pas sage on the Slocum he would be alive today. Fearfully and wonderfully made is the Iaw-at least most wonderfully expounded at times. The incidental fact that in the rush there was no time preservers and that, even if time had been allowed. the selection would have been on the order of Hobson'i choice doesn't enter into the contention of the Knickerbocker company. H. ought to be entitled to a patent or his proposition because of it's novelty

r1ark Smiths One-sided Logic.

llaEk OnC@@OA4CA LOSALs
 Aside from his always new and touching tribute to the ladies. and his assurance that the demands of the peo- ple for his services fill him with un- speakable emotion. Candidate Smiths speech in this campaign is attuned to a single note. Elect me to congress, in order to save yourselves from joint statehood. Statehood is a political question in congress, and the demo- ocratic senators oppose our union with New Mexico solely because they be- Ieve this to be a democratic terri tory. Defeat me. and these senators will reverse their position. They will ,be for joint-statehood, every man-jack of them, and then where'n you be?'
 Does it never occur to MT. Smith that if his proposition be correct the con verse of the same proposition must be true-that when the democratic sena- tors abandon Arizona because it has elected a republican delegate, the re- publican senators will protect Arizona because of the very fact that it has elected a republican delegate?
 MT. Smith makes frequent reference to his dearly regretted law practice, but it is obvious that his legal train ing has not embraced the elementary principles of logic-either that, or he considers the people mostly fools,
 It is impossible for MT. Smith to convince us that the average republi- can senator is any more of an angel than the average democratic senator. If democratic senators selfshly regard the statehood question as a political question. solely, and in their opposition to joint statehood are prompted only by the conviction that this territory is democratic, it must be confessed that the republican senators also selhshly look upon it as politica question. The moment it can be shown to them by election returns that there is a chance here for the republican party in the future, they will swap places with their democratic brethren in the senate on the joint statehood question.
 The democrats, according to MT Smith, upon learning of his defeat, will wish to wipe republican Arizona on the map, and if there is anything 1T his reasoning, the republican senator will be as firm in their determination to keep republican Arizona on the map
 It is a sad, sad fact that republican are just as mean as democrats, anC Arizona voters will make the mos

The Congo Free State.

The alleged cruelties against natives of the Congo Free state continue to attract public attention, in spite of wig orous denials that have the authority of the Belgian government. The peace congress at Boston adopted resolutions recommending that the status of the Congo Free state be referred to an in ternationaI- conference or to The Hague tribunal in order to determine the posi- tion of the Free State government in international law, and what responsi- bility for its actions rests upon the powers that recognize it's existence.
 The position of the Congo Free state is a peculiar one, and there appears to be sufficient ground for an investiga- ton of the charges of outrageous cruelty and oppression that have been made against the government that is nominally under the suzerainty of the king of Belgium and that is, or was, to some extent under the protection of the great powers.
 The experiment of committing the government of large area, inhabited by savages or barbarians, to a trading company, has usually proved to be a disastrous one for the peoples thus gov erned, and if half of what has been re- ported about the Congo Free state is true, the sooner it's system of govern ment is changed the better it will be for the honor of the great civilized powers, and the welfare of the Afrf- cans.
