Some doubt is expressed as to the identity of the murderers of the four American mining men in Sonora week before last, one dispatch denying that the perpetrators of the crime were Va qui Indians and declaring that they were Mexican bandits.

PinaI County May Be Divided.

There is a movement on foot in the legislature to split Pinal county into three parts, dividing it between Mari copa, Pima and Gila counties. Pinal is small county and many legisla- tors believe it would be economical to abolish the full set of officers now re- quired to administer its affairs.
 Under the proposed division, all of Pinal county south of the first meri- dian south of the Gila and Salt river base line and meridian will be attached to Pima county This line passes about twelve or fifteen miles south of Florence, and the territory south of it includes Casa Grande. Mammoth and

The Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
The facetious remark Of DR.. william

two fixed ideas" which sometimes
bored his friends, one the comparative
uselessness Of men above forty years Of
age and the other the absolute usefulness
Of men above sixty years OF age. em-
bodies volume Of truth which should
be Of tremendous significance 20 young
men, and TO young women as well, though
it may be an .unforgivable assumption
that young woman Is ever above forty.
There can be no doubt that the golden
age Of accomplishment. among the mass
Of those who accomplish at all. is round
ed out az forty or IN the vicinage of that
year. Yet II was "a happy modification
which was made by DR.. Oslor at the
alumni banquet In a witty colloquy with
President Remsen, that some men are
sixty when they are forty, and others are
forty when they are sixty" II may be
assumed, therefore. that the Doctor, in
applying the chloroform would not fix
the age Of uselessness unvaryingly at
sixty years, but would quietly and beau
tifuly translate 20 another world the
senile and imbecie OF any age. In that
event many a youth of sixty might wit
ness the spectacle Of the scientific re-
moval OF old and useless fellows OF
twenty-five or thirty.

that Take the sum OF human achieve

cult to understand how we could lose

THAT BALLOT LAW.

n IMMEDIATELY after the election we
4 took occasion TO outline the sort Of
a ballot law that we thought might
be passed by the Legislature with great
Improvement to the present system Of
voting. Our contention was then and
is now that the elector should have
every opportunity to prepare his ballot
but that when he comes 10 cast II the
nature OF the ballot deposited should
be absolutely secret 7 ~ 'Hmo 7nf
Nobody should so into the booth
with the voter save in the instance Of
an elector being Blind or physically IN
capacitated.
And under the system we proposed,
there would be no need Of assistance
for even illiterates in the booth. The
voter would be allowed to prepare his
ballot before he came TO the polls and
could have the assistance Of any per-
son he chose. But to make a secret
ballot, there must be some method
which will insure that nobody shall be
able TO say just what sort Of a ballot
any voter has cast.
This end can be secured by the en-
yelope system, which would require the
voter to pass into the booth ANA place
his ballot IN an envelope before de-
posting it, That is about the simplest
system that can be devised. The voter
has nothing TO do with pens pencils or
marks. lie may take In with HIM the
ballot he proposes to cast.
There win always be abuses as long
as there is any form OF assistance on
TIE inside. The proper way is 10 rem
der assistance unnecessary for even
the most iliterate. There Is nothing
right or sensible in requiring men to
take a blanket ballot and In the booth
to prepare il. The very effort TO pre-
rare it correctly often results IN mis-
takes, whch in a moment or two are

AStween Japan and Russia. the sue
cesses Of the former country have sur
prised the whole world and have led
TO a closer study Of and a greater re-
spect for the qualities Of this wonder

It is possible that Japan can teach
us much, particularly in thrift, sobriety,
industry and painstakng attention to
details, but we should not too promptly
conclude that every idea prevalent in
Japan may be seized upon and EN-
pioyed by the people OF this country.
Among the new fads is Jiu Jitsu.
which is being taught by American
physical eulturists. and in certain in
stances by imported japanese teach
ers. There was an effort to introduce
it into West Point, but Congress was
not convinced Of its utility. and prob
ably the refusal to introduce the new
system is wise, for we are beginning to
learn something about its nature.
It appears in the first place. that It
is not a system OF physical culture at
all. but a series OF tricks based on a
knowledge Of anatomy, in which the
only object is to punish your opponent.

in Jiu Jitsu fouls make up the system.

CHARMING DOLLY MADISON
She Stands Out as the Greatest of Al
Mistresses Of the White House.

From Ganlard Hunts "The First Inaugu-
raj Ball" in the March Century.
To define the charm of a charming
woman is always difficult. Dolly Madi-
sons features were not regular, nor was
her figure perfect. She was not witty
nor was she wise, and she participated
little, if at all, in her husbands intellee-
tual life. Nevertheless, she stands out
as the greatest Of all mistresses Of the
White House, and her popularity was un-
bounded. She ruled over her world in
Washington with genial good nature and
instructive tact. Her nature was warm,
affectonate and impressionable. She
loved life and people, and her world
loved her. Her brilliant coloring, ami
mated face and well-rounded figure went
with a cordial manner and a sympathy
for those about her amounting to genius,
and she was always ready TO bubble into
laughter.
Who could resist such a woman. the
wife Of a Presidentq She was the center
Of observation at the Inaugural Ball, but
she would have been the center Of obser-
walton at any ball, even If she had not
been the Presidents wife. She had, in
fact. ruled as indisputably over the little
boarding house in Philadelphia kept by
her mother. when she was the Widow
Todd. as she did over the White House as
Mrs. Madison.

WEIGHED IN TIE nALANor

IT HE President did not see the mem-
4 bers Of the Delaware Legisla-
ture while they were in Washington.
and the same old deadlock continues.
Senator Balls term has expired and
the sovereign State Of, Delaware is rep
resented in the United states Senate
solely by James Flank Alice. Hiram
r. Burton entered on his duties as
Congressman yesterday and there is
no representative in Washington from
this State north Of Dover. A section
containing three-fourths OF the wealth
ana more than two-thirds Of the pop
ulatlon is without a voice in national
legislation. and there is no immediate
prospect Of an improvement OF present
conditions.
Here is a state which has the privi-
legei Of sending as many Senators to
Washington as New York or Pennsyl-
vs.nia, and yet which is satisfied with
half representation. and at times with
none. Suppose there were a plan to
reduce the representation from the
smaller States TO one Senator. what
would we say?
