After ArizOna's NightingaIes

Eastern industry is about to lay its ruthless hands upon the burro. Not satisfied with des. polling our cliff dwellings and in- vadlng our pueblos with the bicycle and camera, the modern spirit casts avaricious eyes upon the burro so immediately asso- ciated with cacti and adobas. He is to supplant his distant re- lative, the mule, in the coal mines of Virginia, he is to be taken from the sunkissed hills of the Land of Manana to the cavernous depths of the coal mines of the soggy east. There was time when he was worked in the mines of the Land of Sunshine but it was only day work, and dry, airy west ern mine is net to be compared with the moist, gassy depths of the eastern coal mines in which the burrO would inured for his life time, never to see his beloved sun again.
 Considering his leisurelv move. ments his mperturable temper, hIS fondneSS for the free and easy of the windswept meaSas, we believe that the burro will prove a failure in the coal mines in Vir- ginia and secretly hope that this belief will be justified by the re- suit. even if 1t means few dollars less in the pockets of the prospec- tive burro breeder. .-Tombstome.

FOrty=seven Chinks
 tne Box Car Record

Inspector Alfred Griffin of the United States immigration bu- reau, made a haul OI twcnty-t0ur Chlnamen at Yuma one day this week. who were snugly slowed away in q sealed car. bound for California. Very likely this might not have occurred if 1t had not been for the washout, as the proh- abilities are that so large a crowd of Chinamen sidetracked in a box car, could not resist talking while they were sidetracked, not know ing why they were held so long. Also, their grub and water SUD- ply may have run low, for, of course, where a passenger train IS delayed several days, as has been the case at Yuma, q freight train might be stalled for several weeks.
 Some one has made neat little piece of rsGpey out of this busi- ness, and it would be interesting to know who the guilty party is. Since March first there was an- other bunch of twenty-three caught at Yuma, also ill a sealed car, which makes forty-seven in all within the past twelve months. Whoever possesses the graft certainly has good thing, even if his charges are occasion- ally caught. for it is quite prob ably a case of fare in advance, so the shippers can't lose, anyway.

NOMINATING a SENATOR

There is some agitation just now in
favor of having the next Republican
state convention nominate a candidate
for United States senator to succeed
Burton, with the idea that the legisla-
ture would be bound to carry out the
decision of the convention. It would
not, of course, be legally binding on
the legislature, and circumstances can
be imagined where the legislature
would refuse to stand for it, but under
ordinary circumstances the man nomi-
mated would be elected by the legisla-
ture, providing, of course, that that
body had a Republican majority
There are arguments both for and
against this plan. So far as the out
come of the senatorial contest itself is
concerned it might make little differ
ence. The candidate that could pos
sibly pack the legislature or influence
it against the will of the people would
be just as likely to influence or pack a
state convention in the same way. Rail-
road influence would be just as great
in a convention as in the legislature,
possibly more SO. But if the question
were decided by convention the SEN
atoriaI contest would be removed from
the legislature, and the weeks that are
usually wasted in a senatorial squabble
would be saved. and the baneful in
fiuences and combinations that result
would be avoided.
On the other hand the senatorial
contest, if thrown into the state con-
vention, would be likely to overshadow
the selection of a governor. to the
detriment of the state in securing a
good state government. The delega-
tions from. some counties would be
chosen with the senatorship in view,

A careworn frown to mar our bliss,
The wicked spell he straight allays
With the conjurement of q kiss.

The mists that sometimes touch mine eyes.

medium and small, which in turn are
subd1v1ded into concave, rectangular
and convex. The ears the lips and
other features are treated in the same
way and the eyes are the subject of
very elaborate description. The details
thus obtained are added to a dossier
containing the thumb-prints and other
human documents concerning criminals,
and the result is a personal record
which leaves a prisoner who has once
been in the hands of the police very
little chance of passing unrecognized.
That the system has been proved to be
a Servlceable one is evident from the
fact that in the Paris police force NJ.
Bertillon's latest development of the
spoken portrait has. been made a sub
ject of compulsory study, and the MEM
bers of the force are taught to recognize
each other from the analysis of the
photographs furnished to them. That
M. Bertillon's method is likely to be use
full in other ways is shown by the fact
that several Paris bankers nave, with
the object of rendering fraud more diff

their thumb prints to the documents
belonging to them in the keeping of the
