Texas Friends Spared no Pains for
 His Entertainment.

M. I. Swain of Oklahoma, Okla, and Austin, Texas. arrived in the city yes terday morning accompanied by his family They are guests of the Hotel Adams They have recently returned from q visit to the Portland fair and points in the Puget sound district. MT. Swain's business is the handling of bonds of cities states and counties and it is his plan to possibly locate in Phoenix. He will whether he makes this city his permanent home or not remain here for the winter.
 MT. Swain takes considerable inter est in politics possibly following in the footsteps of his father the Hon. w. J. Swain who in 1883 headed the demo- cratic ticket of the lone star state. Mr. SWain's desire to visit Arizona was not only to be in a promising field for his business but that he might again meet some of his former acquaintances now residents of this city when he met in Cuba during the late war with Spain. Tn that war Mir Swain was a captain of one of the Texas companies of the Second U. $. Volunteer infantry known in history as Hoods Immunes"
 When the Hon. William Jennings Bryan visited Texas several years ago it was MT. Swain wno with a party of others conceived the panther hunt which at the time was so broadly heralded by the press over the country. The true facts regarding that hunt have however never been published be- fore. Gov. Hogg whose guest MT.

A GRAND AVENUE LINE
Itis Probable That Negotiations Will
 be Renewed

It is quite probable that negotiations for street car line on Grand avenue will be revived today and unless mem bers of the board of supervisors have
 changed their minds it is equally prob
 able that a line will be established there. General Manager Heap of the
 Phoenix street railway said yesterday that he believed that if the board of supervisors would give him permit for line on the avenue with reason
 able and ordinary restrictions ne could induce the owners to proceed with the construction.
 His proposition is to build a double
 track on the east side of the avenue
 with poles on the curbing on each side. tho trolley wire to be supported bv span wires instead of an arm from a single pole line as was at first in tended.
 This would throw the inner track upon foUr feet of the graveIed way and the two tracks would occupy about twenty feet of the thorougnfare. That would leave eiShty feet for teams and other travel. MT. Heap would also in slst up"n provision in the permit. similar to that proposed by Chairman A'iaIns Of the fair association last week that permit should not be an admission "h tue lart of the board of supervisors or the C"ilDany's right to be on the r"ad under eHS. franchise which it now ciaiins arc it would not be a waiver on the part ol the company of the rights II cIaiGls unGer the Dunbar franchise.

SPECIAL

Bryan was. told some of his friends that he desired them to help him in en- tertaining Mir. Bryan. A panther hunt was suggested only two of whole crowd really understanding what the plan was. They had a few months before killed a large panther and captured her cub which was kept as pet until it had grown too wild to further hold in captivity. The cub was, according to the plan, to be taken out in the woods by one of the party in charge and held there until the hunt could be organ ized.
 The papers of the city of Austin were filled with stories regarding the great number of cattle a monster panther had killed during the week. Finally the hunt was organized, Bryan being especially anxious to participate. Some two hundred men mounted on horses rode into the woods the horses making all the usual demonstration when they came near the spot where the wild ami nal was. The man who had been left at that spot to start the pet panther on a run had great difficulty in getting the beast to move and barely time to con ceal himself when Bryan at the head of the crowd came into sight.
 With a shout he led the charge the panther taking to a tree. Pleading to the other members of the party not to kill the beast ropes were soon brought out and the pet which Bryan believed to be one of the widest of his kind ever. captured was soon secured. He was taken to Austin and a few days later was returned to his former keeper. Governor Hogg in the meantime nay ing promised to have the pelt of the animal prepared and forwarded to Bryan at Lincoln for a trophy.
 Bryan never learned the truth re- garding the hunt and to this day thinks he assisted in the capture of a ferociOus panther. Gov. Hogg however later found that the joke was not all together on Bryan for in order to make the play good he had to buy a panther hide and send it to his democratic friend from Nebraska.

4 REVELATION.

If there are doubting Thomases or maidens fair, or those unfair, who fain would be fair let them use pr. T. Felix Gouraud's Oriental Cream and prove the efficacy of what the proprietor has so long tried to impress on the minds of all, in nearly every part of the world. As a skin purifier and beauti- fer it has no equal or rival If the reader would prove the virtues of Oriental Cream, use it where a scratch or slight cut, or where a black head or pimple is troubling you, then you see its healing and purifying qualities-if it does its work well, then read the advertisement again for further testi- mOny of it's virtues, and by using Oriental Cream renew both youth and beauty.

Some objection has developed on the part of the residents and property owners on the east side of the avenue to the building of the road on that side of the :-,enue for the reason that the grade on which ir would be built would prevent access to their property from the front.

ROMANCE In W0MAE's LIFE.
Refusing Wealth, A Countess Fled
With q Peasant Gardener.

In the funeral Of Anotonia Alamo,
an Italian woman who died in Denver
recently, was enacted the last chapter
OF a romance as remarkable as it was
startling. The woman, it CO ne out
at the funeral, was countess Of the
old Borgia line, which has given Italy
popes and princes. She deserted bel
palace, married her gardener, who
rad fallen in love with her, and fled
to America to live il peace and pcver'
ty with the peasant for loves sake.
Her elopement came as the result CT
an efort Of her family to marry he1
to a rich merchant
Anotonia Borgia was born in Nap.
les and educated in Naarolitan con-
vent. Her family had long lost the
wealth for which it was famous in
medieval times. Poverty had forced
them to abandon their ancestral
home in Naples and move to a small
town on the outskirts, but they never
forgot their noble blood and refused
to associate with the peasants about
them. When Anotonia was sixteen
a well-to. do merchant in Naples made
an offer for her hand and was at once
accepted by her family. Anotonia
had no voice in the matter.
She, however, had already plighted
her troth to Pietro Aliana, a poo1
gardener, who lived near them.
Pietro was an industrious young man
ane had saved some money, and when
the day Of his pretty sgeetheart's
wedding with the merchant Was i'm
minent the two skipped away to Nap
les one evening and took passage for
America. From New York they
came to Denver, where Aliauo had
many friends. He has amassed
something OF fortune from large
market garden on Clear creek. he
resides at No. 3638 Bell street. His
wife was fifty years old.

SOME VERY BAD BOOKS.
Shortages r ported d in Many Of the
Counties of the State.

Saluda county is the next to order
an investigation Of its county finances.
1t is not believed that there Is any
thing particularly wrong il the admin
istration but that there has been
some poor bookkeeping that resulted
in a tangled condition OF affairs. In
Clarendon county the same condition
exists and the grand jury has ordered
the mcst careful investigation OF the
fuarces OF that county. The condi-
tion OF affairs throughout the state
which has called for SO many inVesti-
cations In the finances Of the various
counties has resulted in many OF the
members Of the legislature studying
tie situation for a remedy. AS was
stated the only thing that can be
done under the present law is to stir
up the various grand juries and make
them investigate the various Offices
in order that the officials may be more
careful.
In bis last report the comtrolier
general called attention to the many
counties that needed Investigation,
either on account Of bad bookkeeping
o. shortages. There we're nine alto
gether az follows:
In Abbeville cc u1ty 1t was necessary
to employ an expert at a cost Of 5000
to straignten out the books.
IN Barnwell county there was q
shortage which dnaly resulted in a
settlement nth the bonding COMPANY
for over gil, 900.
In Green eocd county an expert
fixed matters at cost Of $500 to the
county,
In Greenville county the recent de-
velopenent cf graft justified the last
report CT the controller general.
a shortage OF over $4,000 in Horny
county Is DOW in the courts,
a balance Of over SO, 200 due by
the treasurer Of Laurens county has
never been paid and the grand jury
has taken 90 action.
In R;caland county there is an in
vsstigation low going on.
In Williamsburg county a shortage
Of several thousand has been settled,
although thiS was due to bad book.
In addition to this there are two or
three other counties now under inVes-
SigatiOp.

Hard on John Pickett.

Several years ago John Pickett, a
messenger boy Of the Western Unior
Telegraph Company was run over by
a passenger train at St. Matthew's epo
lost bis arm. The suit that followed
attracted great deal OF local inter
est. In the first suit John Pickett
obtained a verdict for $500 against
tee Southern Railway. An appeal was
taken and the Supreme Court sent the
case back for new trial, the chief
ground for the reversal Of the verdict
being that the verdict indicated that
punitive damages had been included.
A second trial was held. MeSsrs. Mel
ton and Belser and Nelson & Nelson
represented young Pickett, and for
mer Judge Benet was chief counsel
for the Southern Railway. A verdict
for $4,000 was the result OF the Sec
ond trial, and young Pickett and his
counsel were happy. Judge Benet
then made motion for a new trial,
and gave eight reasons to Judge Ern-
est Gary why new trail should be
granted. Saturday morning Judge
Gary set aside the verdict and gave
the following in writing as his rea-
sons: This is a motion for q new
trial upon the minutes OF the Court
and the grounds upon which it was
heard are hereto appended. I have
given the subject no little thought,
and my conclusion Is that same should
be granted on the second ground, viz:
Because the preponderance of the
testimony shows That the plaintiffs
own negligence contributed to bis in
jury as a pro1imate cause thereof. A
new trial is therefore ordered"

John Darlington departed from No

A Song or Motherhood.

Sew, sew, sew! For there's many a
rent to mend;
Theirs stitch to take and dress
to make,
For where do her labors end?
Sew, sew, sew! For a rent in dress
she spies.
Theu it's needle and thread and an
aching head
And see how the needle flies!
Brush, brush, brush! For there's many
a boy to clean,
And start to school with slate and
rule,
With a breakfast to get between.
Comb, comb, comb! In the minute she
has to spare,
For what is so wild-unreconc!led.e
AS the wastes of a youngsters hair?
Sweep, sweep, sweep! Oh, follow the
flashing broom,
AS with towel bound her foreneao
round
She goes from room to room.
Dust, dust, dust! As down on the
knees she kneels,
For there's much to do in the hour
or two
Or intervals 'twixt meals.
Bake, bake, bake! For the cookies jar
piled high
But yesterday, in some curious way
Is empty again, oh, my.
Stir, stir, stir! In a froth of yellow
opS ,ubifo
For we'll she knows how the story
goes
Of a small boys appetite.
Scrub, scrub, scrub! For the floor that
was pick and span,
Alas, alack! has a muddy track
Where some lhoughtless yonngster
ran.
Splash, splash splash! For the dishes
of thrice a day
Are piled up high to wash and dry
And put on their shelves away.
Patch, patch, patch. And oh for a
pantaloon
That would rot tear, OF rip'or wear
In the course of an afternoon!
Patch, patch, patch! And see how the
needle flies,
For a mother knows how the fabric
goes
Where the seat of trouble lies.
Toll, toll, toll! For when do her labors
end
With dress to make and a cake to
to bake
And dresses and hose to mend?
Stew, stew, stew! Fret and worry and
fuss
And who of US knows Of the frets
and woes
In the days when she mothered US?
