coming to lie understood that the best
thing which can be for China is to
have this iron old woman live long:
that probably nobody but she would
have been able to preserve the integrity
of that empire.
Isl An has abolished foot binding
among the girls Of her country. She
has established schools and from her
own private purse has contributed
funds to build sixteen colleges in Chi
face to face with forci glers, which no
empress of China ever did before. She
has even permitted her portrait to be
painted by Miss Carl. an American
One Of the notable sights Of the st
Louis exposition was this picture Of the
wonderful old woman of China. with
her gorgeous robes and distinguished
finger nails three inches long.
Two persons are chiefly to he credit
ed with the remarkable change for the
better in dowager Empress Isl An.
One Of them is her former adviser,
brave old Ii Hung Chang. General
Grants friend. and the other is n
noble American woman. Mrs. Sara j.

SUNDAY SCHOOL GATH.
 BRING TODAY
Despite Weather, It Is Expected That Attendance at Association Sessions Will Be Good-AssemblsSe WiII Be at the Presbyterian Church.

Though the weather does not prom ise to be suspicious for the Sunday school convention gathering which will open in this city this morning, promise is fair, nevertheless, thIt the sessions. continuing over Sunday, will be well attended. Much local inter est as well as a good deal of interest throughout the country has been evinced recently in the gathering.
 A circular issued yesterday by Sec retary Gibson, of the Sunday School Association, gives the following di- rections for assemblage in the city to- day, together with other information
 Those attending the Sunday scnool convention, which convenes at Bis bee on March 17th, are requested to congregate at the Presbyterian church as sooon as possible after arrival. The committee may not recognize at the train all that attend, and it is necessa- " taht the committee on entertain ment know who are in attendance as soon as possible after trains arrive, ill order that they may make their plans.
 Several persons desiring to go to Bisbee have inquired whether or not they wou+l be entitled to the benefit of the rate. Everybody is welcome to attend the convention, and all that do attend, so that the Secretary of the Convention can certify that they have been in attendance. will no doubt be allowed to use the one-third fare rate for the return trip"

MARSHAL CONSIDERS MUTINY
Says kreigbaum Will Have to Collect
 Road Tax as We'll as Spend it.

The storm is apparently over for the present and most of the road tax collected" said Marshal Snodgrass, with a long sigh of relief sandwiched in, yesterday, but nevertheless it is going to be put up to the city council by yours truly at it's next regular meeting to add the duty of collecting his own road taxes to the job Jim kreigbaum has as superintendent of streets. You can bet on that to a certainty. The marshal don't have anything to do with the streets except to take the 'cussings' that citizens hand out when he passes them call for the road tax, and I'm here to tell you they are a heap more liberal with profanity than with their money. Here after Kreigbaum will have to stand for both, if the marshal can bring it around that way"

A BRUTAL ASSAULT ON
 WOMAN AND CHILD
Painter Seats and Threatens to Kill His Family-i1id Under Bed at First Gall of Officers, But Was Later Caught.

4 painter named Case was arrested last night by Officers Thomas ana Wll' moth at rooms in the Mcintyre block. Al the time of arrest the man was beating his wife and threatening his child, a little girl.
 Case and his wife are said to be both given to drink. According to report neither is a fit custodian for the little girl, whose association with her parents under the conditions that exist is considered deplorable. Elf forts are consequently likely to be put forth to rescue the child from her sit uation.
 The trouble of last night followed a quarrel had by the man and woman following her return last evening from a visit at Douglas. Case struck her, and continued abuse until after mid night. He then became so violen; that the woman ran from the house in her night clothes. She was scream ing on the sidewalk when the officers came up. They went into the rooms occupied in the house and attempted to find Case. but he had apparently es- capped from the house by back way. The officers then left, and were look ing about the neighborhoOod for Case when screams from the woman and the child came from the house. The officers ran back and found the man beating his wife and threatening to kill both her and the child. Case sur rendered to the officers without re- sistance and went to jail.
 IL is now thought that he succeed ed in concealing himself under the bed in the room on the occasion Of their first call.

FREE MAIL DELIVERY

Numbering of Houses Arranged for Will Finish Requirements in City. New Map of Townsite Beino Pre- pared for County Filling.

City Engineer Jorgensen is busy making the new map of the townsite the Supervisors demanded at their last meeting, when they refused to ac- cept the map that had been filed at Tombstone. MT. Jorgensen expects that the new map will be ready for fil- ing in couple of weeks.
 Under the terms offered by the Su- pervisors, filing of the new map will be followed by the numbering of all the houses in the town proper and in adjacent additions. This work will be done at the expense of the county. and will represent a much needed i'm provement. With its accomplishment and the naming of the streets recently accomplished by the City Council the town will be prepared to ask TOT free delivery of mail. in all other respects it now being qualified to receive this additional government service.
 The new map to be filed at Tomb stone will show every lot and the own CT thereof in the territory it covers. Section and division lines Will be given. The job will be complete in detail, and will afford a valuable piece of data. It is likely to come into considerable play following the clos ing of the townsite patent deed issu- ance, inasmuch as there is prospect of a good deal of litigation as to lines that have been established.

Frank Barlage, a Sulphur Springs Valley man, paid s10 in the court Of Judge Mcdonald yesterday for leav- ing a team of horses standing united on Main street through most of Wedn- esday night.

REV. BROWNS APOLOGY.

With the exception of one or two things Rev. Browns reply, published in this issue of The Jour nal. is about the completest back down and apology we ever read.
 We desire, however, to notice a few of his glaring inconsistencies, and to make the matter plain, we reproduce below the verses of his first reply" which called forth our denial that we were profil- gate and immoral creature:
 This editor you know k good l2 He always does the things he shoaldt2) In evil he takes no delight t:l
 His conscience is so pure and bright l3 A man like this, without convictions. Who deals with facts like they ws re
 hctions.
 Such yacillating creature
 May curse or praise most any preacher
 Now, how can our friend Brown make anything out of this but an insinuation that the editor of this paper is bad, and never does what he should; that he takes delight Tn doing evil, is possessed of a black and impure conscience and is liar.
 How can he, a teacher of the gospel of truth, make such state mdnts as these, and then deny them2 The next thing we know he will deny that he is the same Brown who took part in the de- bate, or will probably claim that 1t was not Jim Brown at all, but John Smith, or somebody else.

If that Is true Brother Brown must have been hit pretty hard, for we notice that he began bowling just as soon as he read The Journal s comment on the debate. and he has been howl ing ever since. Now if we have hit him again, and he wants to howl some more, there will be plenty of room in The Journal next week, or the week after, or any old time he gets ready to howl.
