Republicans Angry.

Republicans Angry.
Very much depends on whose OK is
gored-yea, verify. Hon. Carl schurz
Is one of the most eminent American
statesmen and one Of the ablest pub
lie speakers living. He is stumping the
country for Judge Parker, which en-
RACES the Republicans amazingly. There
i nothing too cruel for them to say
about him. He is an independent in
politics and appears Always to follow
the dictates Of his conscience. Never.
theless he is roundly abused by Repuh-
licans because this year his conscience,
his intelligence and his patriotism i'm
PEI bin to aid the Democrats. When
his eonscience his intelligence and his
patriotism impel him to aid the Repub.
licans they praise him to the skies.
He has been a Republican ambassador
to Spain, Republican senator Of the
United States and Republican secre-
taFy Of the interior-he has rendered
Important services to that party-but
because he chooses to 'support Parker
the Republicans lambast him with an
their might 1t is ten to one shot
that Carl Schurz will live in history
when all his detractors are forgotten
utterly.

Especial Washington Lettsr.l

Il FRENCH savant once remark
~ ed that it is the unexpected
which happens. II twelve
months ago anybody had told
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge that he
would have to fight for his political
life these fine autumn days by reason
Of his views on the tariff and reciproci-
ty Henry Cabot would have laughed
them to scorn. An uprising among Bay
State Republicans against the Dingley
bill was the last thing that he was
looking for, yet that is precisely what
is going on in Massachusetts. The cry
for Canadian reciprocity and for free
raw material is being sent up by Mr..
Lodges Republican constituents so
Justify that he has become alarmed
and Is not only canvassing the state
most actively, but is declaring for reci-
procity himself. 1t appears that the
bailiwick have walked up to the fact
that it is not good to have a Chinese
wall built around the country, and
consequently they are making life mis-
cradle for the Hon. II. G. l.. There Is
a pestiferous Republican up there
named Eugene Foss, who seems to be
a strenuous sort Of person and not to
have the fear Of Lodge before his eyes.
He is brother to Congressman Foss
Of Illinois and desires to break into
congress himself. He is the Republic
an nominee for congress in his district
and, mirabile dictu, is making such
strong speeches for tariff revision and
Canadian reciprocity that the Ameri-
can Economist, organ of the American
Tariff league, accuses him Of spouting
Democracy! So the Democratic leaven
is working among Bay State Republic
ans, and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
is on the dead run. 1t Is well. There is
hope for the plain people yet.

1t is generally asserted by Republic
ans that they are certain to carry
West Virginia. Nevertheless the Wash=
ington Post is authority for the state
ment that the West Virginia Republic
an leaders are in great stew about
money. They assert that they need
$147,OOO to carry the state and have
only $4,000, thus being short $51 600.
How and where to raise the last men
toned sum are the problems.

PRESLEY DRUG co

Experience is a valuable thing in most lines of activity but it is particu- larly so in the drug business. A drug gist can never know too much about his business and experience is bound to bring something of wisdom. With thirty years of it to his credit manager c. A. Larsen of the Brisley Drug Go. feels justified in the contention that he is safe, sane and conservative" as the democrats say, in the filling of prescriptions. And prescription work is the chief boast of the Brisley Drug Go. Mir Larsen is not alone in the store either, his able assistant being Andrew H. Miller who is still a com- parirvely young man but who has de- voted ten years to a study of the drug business and has his credentials as registered pharmacist. In getting all this experience MT. Larsen has learned something from observation outside the store for he has lived in Illinois, Neb- raska, Colorado, California and Ari- zona.
 The store carries beside a complete drug stock, the usual fancy goods, sun dries and novelties found in an up-to- date pharmacy. together with a good line of cigars. And a sofc drink foun- tain of course, for that is part of the business. The store is on the Hotel Adams corner and is a fixture of the town.

ALL ABOUT BEARS.

Bears are good for other things than to keep in menageries and one of them at least, Ben L. Bear of the Keystone pharmacy, knows how to run a drug store successfully and to the eminent satisfaction of a large patronage. MT. Bear saw the advantages of the name for advertising purposes which is prob ably the reason he was born with it. Anyhow it is the same name he always had and he's glad of it. He puts lit tie bears in the windows and all over the store so people can find the place. and he further directs them to look for it on Washington street opposite the city hall.
 MT. Bear has beside the usual staple line of drugs for careful prescript on work. 9 large assortment Of sundries and Christmas novelties which the shopper should take a look at. Beside, he is an inventive sort of a bear and compounds z lot of proprietary rem edies that he backs up with the Bears name and fame. The yellow wrapping paper is the sort that comes from Bears and sometime in the course Of the year most everybody in town finds himself taking a yellow package home.

THE AMERICAN KITCHEN.

The American Kitchen on Center street is a good illustration of what an intelligent Chinaman can do in this country even if he is unnaturalized. un- represented and of a race against which there is really more prejudice than there ought to be in a Christian land. Tom is the name he goes by. He pro5- ably had another one but that is good enough for all practical purposes and if he has a right name he has probably forgotten 1t since he came to Phoenix.
 The principal thing is that Tom runs a restaurant where people like to go to eat or else a multitude of whites are living a double life for they go there three times day and seem to get wha,. they go after. Tom will probably have an unusually fine offering for Christmas dinner and the people who call on him will forget that they are away from home or boarding out.

DAVIDsoN's CASH STORE.

Davidson's Cash store began as a little novelty emporium with ten and twenty-five cent counters the principal feature. The notion counters are still there but the establishment has cons tantly grown until it is now one of the largest business houses of the city en- ploying many clerks and carrying a stock that includes everything in the hardware line that can be used in building and fitting up q house. That means China as well as metal utensils of all kinds, everything that is useful and much that is ornamental. Every thing from a shingle rail or a hairpin to a steel range and the thousand little things found in parlOr or kitchen. A good stO-k of guns and ammunition is always on hand and cutlery is an inn portant line. Davidson has three show windows and they are always full of things worth showing. One window is devoted 70 guns and cutlery while another gives an idea of what may be seen inside in China and silver ware. Another is devoted to fancy China, plates and lamps. And its cash store just as advertised. Davidson wants to deal with the people who have the money. He has no time to keep books.

long been famous attention may be directed to the great stock of cut glass which dazzles the eye. It has been 7col- lected from a variety of sources and all comes from manufacturers who have the highest regulations.
 There is one article rich and gilt tering vase winch took prize at the worlds fair.
 But nothing is more beautiful than a collection of hand painted China in various articles and a great variety of designs, all so handsome that it is with difficulty that one can make a choice. There was never in Phoenix a more bountiful display of silver ware in all articles which may be made of silver. There is one oak cabinet of silver which is attracting great attention, contain ing a full silver set. There are silver backed toilet articles There is a big line of leather goods. There is in fact everything of which one could con- ceive for a high grade holiday gift and many of them are inexpensive. The skillful jeweler of the stote is busily engaged in further adorning the silver articles purchased by engraving. The window display at this store is magni- ficent and is sufficiently attractive to hold the attention of all who pass in however great hurry.

THE OSTRICH FARM.

Phoenix has one industry by which 1t is better known throughout the coun- try than by any other and that is the raising of ostriches. The ostrich farm owned and managed by Mrs. Pearson has come from a small beginning in the course of a few years to be the biggest of it's kind in the United States In fact nearly all of the ostriches in this country are now in the valley. The farm at the west end of the street car line is one of the many show places of the city and it is visited by many per sons daily who make a study of what has been to them an almost unknown bird. They are seen there in all ages. The plucking is an interesting sight.
 The growing of ostriches has proved to be very pEofitable one in this part of the country. It has been profitable not only to the owners of the birds but also to the consumers of the product. Many of the feathers are made ready for the market here and are sold direct. They cannot only be sold cheaper, the profits Of the middlemen being avoided, but they are also of a much better quality than the ordinary plumes of commerce.

PINNEY G ROBINSON.

w. L. Pinney proprietor of the gun stoEe run under the name of Pinney & Robinson has been in business since 1887, handling bicycles, photo goods, typewriters and sporting goods. Five years ago guns and ammunition were added and this branch of the business has been pushed to such an extent that the firm within the last three months has been placed on the ammunition manufacturers jobbers' list on Win chester rifles and shot guns, Reming- ton rifles and shotguns. powder, shot, revolvers and in fact practically every thing in this line. This is considered quite card for Phoenix, as hitherto there had not been a jobber in these goods in the county. The jobbing trade of this firm is quite extensive in this valley and the retail trade covers all of Arizona and a part of Sonora. There is here also at all times a large line of all kinds of sporting goods and every thing that might be sought for in a first class sporting goods house in any city.

CLARK PRATT VEHICLE co.

The Clark Pratt Vehicle Co. on Sec ond street opposite the fire engine house is one Of the big institutions of the city. The store and warehouse rooms are cap1cious, important inn provenents having been made in bo.h. In the store proper a new office has been fitted up and a large room has been built especially for the care and exhibition of harness which is a spe- cialty with the firm. The stock com prises everything in the vehicle and implement line and the best of every thing.
 Recently a new line of machinery and windmills has been added. Their agency is for the Samson windmill which seems to meet the demands of this section more to their satisfaction than any other. With windmills, pumps are naturally associated as well as gasoline engines. The Red acket pump and the Peerless gasoline engines are their specials but they have others if wanted.

THE H. H. M'NElL co.

The H. H. McNeill Co is a stationery and office supply house mainly, though books and periodicals are important branches. In respect of books there is a fine display but the store is closing them out at cut rate prices.
 TypeWriters are a speciality with this store and for the past two weeks it has sold on an average of one type writer per day. The company has the exclusive Arizona agency for the Un- derwood, one of the standard machines and also deals in second hand typewri- tera. A customer can get the best if he wants 1t but if he wants something else he can find something that will just about match his cash surplus.
 In addition this stock is. replete with Christmas novelties of many kinds, both useful and ornamental. They are well displayed and there is no better ar ranged or heater kept store in the city. It is a pleasure to visit it and there is no admission fee at the door. If the box office receipts are too small the fault is laid to the clerks, not to the patrons. But they are not for the firm is prospering.

"THE LIVE DRUGGISTS ."

This is the name by which the firm of Elvey G Hulett has come to be known and t is not misapplied. Speak ing yesterday of his business for the past year, MT. Hulett said that there had been a satisfactory growth but what was more gratifying to him was in the increase of business in the pres cription department which has grown out of al proportion. That is not won derful however for there is no drug store i1 the entire southwest more amply equipped. Every drug known to medical science may be found there so that there is no danger of substitution and certainly no reason for it, thus giving assurance to patrons and physi- clans that prescriptions will be filled precisely as they are written. MT Huletts reputation for honesty having been established the rest is easy.
 There is no drug store anywhere more elabOrately arranged and there is none cleaner. Beside a full stock of drugs and proprietary remedies there is large stock of leather goods. per fumes and many other things which would make useful holiday presents.

D. H. BURTIS.

D. H. Burtis has been engaged in business in Phoenix for several years and he is one of the business men who has kept pace with the growth of the town. His trade has in fact grown faster than the population has for his work has always been the best. In ad- diuioD to the large stock of the line of. hardware in which he deals there is Q wide variety of bath tubs, stoves and ranges etc. MT. Burtis has for years given especial attention to the depart ment of plumbing and the fame of the work of this concern is known through out this region. The tin working de- partment of this establishment is grow ing with the rest of it until demands are made on 1t from all parts of the valley and territory outside. MT. Bur tis is doing a big and growing business in the erection of wind mills and the installation of pumping machinery; al- so in the construction of galvanized iron tanks of all sizes. The wind mill used by MT. Burtis is known as the Dandy" and which was selected by MT. Burtis after a careful investigation of the merits of the best known wind mills.

THE EUREKA MARKET.

This is a meat market which has had a phenomenal growth under the able mana cement of H. B. Crouch until now there is not q heater one in the territory and there are few that have the ap- pearance of being so clean or so well patTonized. In it's new quarters on E. Washington street there is a spick and spanness which SC 3ms apart from the extensive handling of meats but meas are handled there so extensively that three or four men are at all times kept busy. There is an excellent cold stor- age system. The success of the Eureka market has grown out of the careful selection of stock. A poor steak cannot be bought there. Beside fresh meats of every kind there is always on hand large stock of the best eastern hams and bacon. There is always a big sup ply of poultry and game in season and fresh fish of all kinds. There is one curious fact about the Eureka market in that it never loses a customer. Nothing more can be said in praise of it than that. Another thing that should be mentioned is that all sausages are made in the market and the the great

It keeps constantly on hand a large var iety of tires, but it's favorite is the Hartford which it strongly recom- nends. The repair business has been looked after since the first organiZa- ton of the company by Frank White who makes a specially of bicycle work. Recently when the company saw tine growing demand for auto work. it em- played MT. Stewart who makes a speciality of both automobile and bicy- cIe repairing.

THE cURIO.

Everybody knows where that is, at the corner of efferson street and First avenue in a, Mission like building err ected some years ago when it was de- termined to make tThe Curio"s one of the institutions of Phoenix. The pro- prietors, members of the Benham In- dian Trading company have unusual opportunities for the collection of a stock of this kind and they have made the most of them. The building has been enlarged to make room for the rapid and steady growth of the busi- ness of the company. One entering the Curio loses the impression that he is going into a sto.e where things are sold he imagines that he is entering a big museum and as a matter of fact he is for here are collected curious things from all over the world. A huge fire place is hung about with them. An open door displays a pleasant room with rich Navajo rugs strewn about the floor. Other rooms present them selves until one finds himself in what is called the Museum in which are stored thousand of dollars worth of an- tiques. Space prevents the mention of all of them and this article is intended only to let the reader know of the eX- istence of this wonderful place. But there is one thing that must be men, toned. It is a Singalese painting of great antiquity. It is thirty feet in length and little wider than a sheet of wall paper. It represents the birth of Buddha. The painter was a villager in. the south of Ceylon, the cradle of the Buddhist religion. The painting is done on a peculiar flexible cardboard and in the making of the picture great skill has been exercised.

COOPER 6 BLACK.

The Cooper & Black store is one Of the younger grocery houses of the city but :t is forging ahead like bright boy Ut the head of his class. The store has already outgrown one location and moved into a new one on Washington street between Center and First. It is a retail establishment and one that ap- peals very strongly to the family tra de. Everything about the store is neat and well ordered and the fruit and green goods display in front is one of the places the passerby always stops to inspect A notable feature of it is the little fountain that keeps everything fresh and nice.
 The company has a good force of gentlemanly clerks and they are a busy lot. The wagons call daily on the fam fly trade and the Cooper & Black de- livery horses are never reprimanded for idleness, while axle grease is something of d monthly expenditure. It is the purpose of this store to supply every thing in the line of subsistence that there is call for in either kitchen or dining room and its purpose is well lived up to. z

ENGLISH KITCHEN.

The English Kitchen Is about as far from what its name signifies as any thing could be for it is a Chinese eat ing house which serves mainly good American victuals. And the manner of the serving is satisfactory to a large patronage of ladies and gentlemen who think they know what they want to eat. The dining parlors re neat and clean and the location is convenient being on First street in the building built expressly for restaurant purposes some years ago. Christmas is universal and comes to all civilized people of whatever language and there will be many people this year of differing tongues and nationality who will eat a good American Christmas dinner cooked by Chinamen in an English kitchen
