was supposed that he went TO his Ari-
iona mine to get a sample lot of Ne
vada nuggets but when seen last night
he said there was no truth in the ru-
NOR He said in short that there was
no truth in anything that had ever been
said about him by anybody. He said
he did not go to Nevada at all but had
been busy. at his Arizona mine all the
time. Some day il viii prove a bigger
thing than the Death Valley wonder
where Walter Scott digs out $500 bills.
When that time comes and Mr.. Sparks
begins 10 buy special trains he wanted
to have the Nevada pilgrimage to fall
back on for local coloring by his friends
but since the story has been already
badly overworked he Will now confess
that it was all a hoax. 1t was the other
fellows who went to Nevada.
THOUGHT HE WAS ROBBED-A
telephone message was received at the
sheriffs Office from the Lemon hotel
yesterday afternoon saying that a man
had just been mysteriously robbed
there. Deputy Sheriff Cunningham
went down to see about it. He found
a well dressed Mexican who said that
he had been despOiled Of $50 or $40
within the last half hour. The pro-
prietor of the place said he had seen
the Mexican in possession of the money
within a half hour. As soon as the
money was missing the proprietor COM
PEELED every man who was there to re-
main until after an investigation. The
Mexican said he had cashed a check for
$40, had bought several articles and
had paid some debts. He had treated
at the bar and had called his friends
up to drink again when he discovered
that he had only twenty cents. He had
searched himself in vain. Another
Mexican said that he had been with
him constantly all day and that he
could not have lost the money very
well unless in some unaccOuntable
manner. At length another Mexican
was found who said that he had seen
man take the money from the Mex
leans pocket. He at first refused to
tell who the thief was but when threat
ened with arrest he pointed him out.
Then another Mexican said that he too
had witnessed the robbery. The de-
putty sheriff searched the suspect who
had not been out of the building since
the loss of the money was discovered.
Nothing discriminating was found on
him. The officer by this time believed
that the victim must have the money
I
search himself. He quickly found $50
in gold in a hip pocket which the Mex
lean had overlooked in his search. The
supposed victim of the robbery was
overioyed and turned all the money
excent So over to the officer for safe
keeping.
THE ARMY AT WORK-The ma
tional guard of Arizona went into en-
campment at Camp BrOdie yesterday
the troops from this valley and south
ern Arizona leaving per special train
as announced in yesterdays paper
The train from the south was a little
late but by rapid work and quick
breakfasting the special left on time
and by the time this paper is in the
hands of its readers the brave LADS
will be engaged in killing each other
off as fast as possible in mimic war.
1t is understood that two or three SOL
diers missed the train but they Will
! probably catch up with the main body
today. Wireless reports from Camp

FUNERAL OF FRED M'cALL-1

funeral services over the body of Fred
Mccall took place yesterday morning.
1t was attended by the members of the
order of Eagles and by a large
number of friends whom he had made
in the course of his four years resi-
dence in Phoenix. The interment was
in the Catholic cemetery. Mr.. Mccall
was not very well understood even
by many who knew him almost from
the time of his arrival in Phoenix. He
was inclined to be reserved so that
what was learned of him was learned
from those who knew him at his former
home in Chicago. He was educated
for the law and it is said made bril-
liant start in that profession. His
health failed and it became necessary
for him to engage in some other voca-
| ton. How he became a bartender is
not known but that is the business he
followed in Phoenix. When he came
| here he was jovial. without familiarity.
| but soon after that he was OVertaken
| by a misfortune. A little son who was
playing on a passing wagon fell under
/ it and his skull was crushed. After
! that Mccall was not the same man.
/ Then his health gradually grew worse
and hardly a day saw him better than
he had been the day before.

LAND OFFICE QUARTERS
The Manner in Which the Selection
Will Probably be hade.

Surveyor General Ingalls, has made
no selection vet of quarters for the
Phoenix land office. He has been in
terviewed BIZ numerous property own
ers and real estate agents but he has
offered no indications of his intentions
even if he mas given any site consider
alton. He will probably issue a circu-
lar inviting real estate men to call up
on him at a certain time and present
the advantages they are prepared 10
offer the government.
Hon. George Pusch of Tucson a
prominent cattleman and member OF
the live stock sanitary commission was
in the city yesterday. He jokingly
told the surveyor general that in the
present state of mind at Tucson he
would advise him not to come to the
old pueblo. Some people there are
holding him responsible for the new
arrangement.
It may be stated that the surveyor
general had no part in the removal. The
consolidation of the land offices was
determined upon by the department be
fore he was aware of it. That the con-
sOlidation was ordered and that PhOe-
nix had been designated as the lOca-
letters from the department and the
general land office to other persons in
the territory before any notice was re
ceived by the surveyor general. In
fact the only communication he has re-
ceived at all was a direction to select
a location, in the absence of either a
receiver or register.
But Tucson rejects comfort. While
the surveyor or any one individual is not
blamed the new, arrangement is attri-
buted to the impersonal and tradition
al seIfishness of Phoenix. 1t has even
been asserted by residents of Tucson
that it is no longer safe for them TO
leave their washing hanging out over
night lest Phoenicians make away with
it. Other papers in the southern part
of the territory are mingling their
voices with the 1nOurnful cries of the
Tucsonites. The Bisbee Miner in re-
cent issue sees in the consolidation OF
the office and the location at Phoenix
a despicable attempt on the part OF the
government to boom the hotel business
of Perry Williams of Maricopa.

ELowER srupY AMoNe JAPs

A unique branch Of study which
is taught in the girls schools in Japan
Is that Of over arrangement. The
Japanese show great taste in this art.
One of the principles which they follow
is that flowers of different seasons
should never be arranged together.
Another is that one should be guided
by nature and a study Of the habits
and character of the flowers employed
in the arrangement. One of the FUN
damental rules is that all flower ar
rangements should fit into triangle,
either vertical or horizontal. These
few principles show what a science
underlies this apparently simple art.
Another part of flower arranging in
which the japanese excel Is In the
many methods known and employed by
them for keeping flowers fresh. some
cf the famous professors claim to pos
sess the secret of certain ingredients
which, added to water containing the
flowers. have a stimulating effect and
greatly prolong their life. This requires
great experience, lOT CSi toiii Pie-AASS -
ouire a strong and others weak so
luton. Many years ago at mower
exhibition one man received hrst prize
for an arrangement of bamboo which
kept fresh for twenty-seven days. This
had been omplished-without the use
of water-by injecting fluid into an
opening which had been bored INTO the
bamboo stalk This man on anotner
occasion arranged combination Oh
bamboo and morning glories and care
fully wrapped strips of paper AROUND
the flowers. Just before he was ready
to show the arrangement to gather
ing of people he removed these strips
of paper and by pouring some liquid
into the flowers caused them to unfold
before the eyes of the astonished spec
tators.

DRIVING EouR.lN.1ANp

The driving of four horses I'm the
style of today requires a knowledge Of
every detail and one can become per-
feet only by constant practice. One
must be a lover of horses and must
know how to ride everything from
Shetland pony to race horse. 1t is
not strange, when this is considered,
that woman whips are not as numerous
as men. In this country the sport has
become so popular that all who keep
up fashionable establishments are
learning to hold the ribbons.
Four-in-hand driving Is not learned
under a roof, like horseback riding and
cycling. The novice must make all
mistakes under the gaze of the public.
But the rich who essay this sport can
take lessons in the secluded corners of
their great estates. The refining is not
only a matter of skill, but of strength
as well. 1t is essentially a one hand
accomplishment AS good driver will
never let the lead traces get taut it is
easily seen that there is considerable
wrist wearing tugging at the bits, not
to speak of the dead weight of the
reins. Over the top of the forefinger
runs the rein of the high side leader.
Between the first and second fingers
run, first, the off side lead rein, and,
second, the nigh side wheel. The off
side wheel line is caught between the
second and third fingers. And as for
the whip, to the average man this is
as important an affair as a city trout
rod to a country fisherman. You have
to swing with your right arm an in
strument whose handle is over five feet
long, with lash nine feet longer. 1t
cannot be pulled back as you would
haul in a clothes line, but it must be
fiirted back till it curls itself around
the handle. To do this requires great
strength of wrist.

SAVAGE CHEZ

This is South African fighting man,
a Bechuana warrior, who knows moth
ing of the science of projectiles as
taught in modern war colleges. The
Bechuanas live on the west of the
Transvaal and it is now likely their
fighting days are over. In defiance Of
the convention of Pretoria they were
raided by the Beers. In revenge for
their loyalty to England during the
war of 1SS0-S1, Montsfoa and Manka-
roane's people and cattle were carried
off in scores, their property destroyed
and atrocities committed on their wo-
men and children.
Other chiefs were similarly treated,
and so bold did the Beers become that
they actually occupied the most valu-
able portions of the territory, setting
up two republics, which they called
Stellaland and Goshen. Owing to tho
exertions of the Rev. John Mackenzie,
the attention of the home government
was directed to these lawless proceed

NEW USE FOR STAMPS

The monks at the Hospital of st.
Jean de Dieu, at Client, have in their
leisure moments decorated the walls
with gorgeuos landscapes, glowing with
color and full of life, formed entirely
by means of the postage stamps of all
the nations of the world. Palaces,
forests, streams and mountains are
represented, butterflies fit about in the
air, birds of beautiful plumage perch
on branches, snakes and lizards glide
about, and innumerable animals find
places here and there. The pictures
are mostartistic, in the style of Chin
ese landscape gardening, and already
between nine and ten millions OF
stamps have been used.

HOTEL FOR TRAMPs

A comfortable home for tramps on
very ambitious lines has been built in
Chicago. 1t is a most imposing build
ing of four stories, comprising dining
rooms, reading rooms and the inevita-
BILE bathrooms. Tramps who want a
nights lodging must do a certain
amount of work, graduated according
u their physical condition. Immedi-
ately on entering the building they are
taken to the bathroom, from which
they pass to the courtyard to do their
task. After the toll is over they have
an opportunity of going out to seek
for work, and then they come in for
the evening. Before going to bed, how
ever they are compelled again to per-
form the ceremony of ablution.

QUAINT ENGLISH CUSTOM

Among the quaint old customs and
ceremonies still kept alive in country
districts there is only one "horn dance"
and that is to be found at Abbots
Bromley, in Staffordshire. Every year
at the village wake the dance is still
carried out. The origin of the horn
dance is lost in the mists of history,
but it has been traced back as far as
the eleventh century. Until the sew
enteenth century it was practised at
Christmas, on New Years day and on
Twelfth day. In the time of Henry
VIII the dance was performed in front
of the church every Sunday and a col
lection for the poor taken up from the
spectators.

GLASS CoEEINs

To preserve the features of those
who have died it is proposed by Rus
sian to embalm corpses by casting
around them a solid mass of glass.
This would be perfectly transparent,
and as no air could get in the features
would be preserved indefinitely. OF
course, it is not feasible to pour molten
glass directly on the body, so it is first
coated with a thin covering of so-called
''liquid glass; or sodium slicate. This
is allowed to harden and forms a pro-
tective coating. The body is then put
in mold and melted glass poured
around it.

CURIOUS STRANDED SHIP

-HE accompanying photograph was
taken of one of the oyster steam
ers which may be seen during the
year working on the oyster beds in
Long Island sound. While this particu
lar steamer was on it's way to West
port, Conn, one day last August she
ran hard aground. The pilot ran his
steamer on a large rock in broad day
light. The accident was caused by the
