McCARTIIv's GOOD LUCK.
HE Gets a Biz MIXING Deal Star. d
aoi Sccnrea a WIFE.

]. X. Mccarthy, the owner of :he
Bryan group ofeopper claims in Pinal
county, was in the city yesterday on
his return from the east, where he
spent several weeks on mining bust
ness, says the Republican. He sue
eeeded in bonding the group to W.
II. O'Brien of Chicago. Mr.. O'Brien
is extensively interested in mining in
different parts of the country, and is
one of the heaviest owners of iron pro-
perties in Michigan. He will shorty
visit the Pinal county mines. The
price of the property is said to be
$125,OOo. The group lies across
the river from Felvin.
For some years Mr.. Mccarthy has
been engaged in litigation with Mr..
and Mrs. ALI Kinney of Globe over
the property. One suit was settled
after it had reached the supreme court
of the territory, where judgment in
the court below favorable to Mr.. Nc
Carthy was affirmed. Another suit
has been recently instituted, but it is
said the issues are the same as those
in the former action.
Since Mr.. Mccarthy left home he
made another deal, which he thinks is
of greater Importance to him t han the
sale of the Bryan group. He is at
any rate better satisfied with it. About
the first of this month he was mar
ried at Prescott to Miss Cecilia
Thompson. Mr.. Mccarthy says that
a good wife is more desirable than
a good mine. and &c much harder TO
find. He has hNcu looking for both

finding the mine FORE he discovered
the wife. He h"s -~v happily found

HELP PRESCOTT TO PROSPER.

There can be no question about the
prosperity and growth Of Prescott if
the people generally will only lend
their assistance. What is needed is
unanimity of action and loyalty to
home interests. Recently some par
ties sent to a mail order house for
quantity of goods at what they con-
sidered low price. A few days later
the material arrived, one of the men,
bers Of the family had occasion to
visit one of our mercantile establish
ments, and was surprised to find the
identical material, both in color and
design, and, strange to relate, the
price was the same as that offered in
the catalogue of the mail order institu-
tion. The moral to be drawn from
this is, patronize home merchants.
In the early part of the year there
came into the county several men pur-
porting to represent a wholesale gro
eery house of Chicago. They went out
among the farmers, and said ''You
pay too much for your groceries; you
are being robbed by the merchants of
this county" Many farmers listen
ed to this talk, and in some instances
agreed with the willy agents. However,
when an order was preached, the far
ners IN some cases insisted that they
wanted the brands of goods that they
had been In the habit of purchasing.
The agents tried to impress upon
them that their "Own brands'' were

"Children's Day was observed at
the Congregational Church on Sunday
night with an interesting program of
music, Rotations, and other exercises,
which was listened to by an audience
that completely crowded the sacred
edifee.
The young people were well trained,
and the numbers that they eontribut-
ed to the program were meritoriously
rendered. A vocal solo by Miss Helen
Burmister was especially pleasing.
She has an excellent voice, rich and
strong, and the young lady gives pro-
mise of being a vocalist of a high or
der. The violin obligato by Mr.. New
field was artistic in execution, and his
solo on the same instrument was espe-
cially deserving of praise. A reading
by Mrs. Southworth showed her to be
an eloeutionist of rare powers, and the
Rotations by the little ones called
forth praise for each one. The vocal
solo by DR.. Yount was another pleasing
feature of the program.
The significance of Children 8 Day
was explained by the pastor, Rev.
Rogers, in an address, who said that it
meant that the children could do as.
much for the uplifting of mankind and,
the betterment of the world as their
elders.
The program was as follows. the
singing being conducted by NJ. B.

Henry James structures on the care
less English spoken even by well-ed-
ucated Americans are sound. but to
call the novelist Zone of the greatest
masters of written English,' as the
president of Bryn Mawr College did,
is not true. 1t would be as wide of
the mark to call George Meredith
master of English. Henry James,
who began his career by writing a
style that was limpid and beautiful,
has now reached a point where his
admirers are forced to study his
sentences as they must study the
verse of Browning to discover his
meaning. He refnes his thought I'M
til in the mass of involved sentences
it is difficult to get at his meaning.
Hawthorne and Stevenson are two
masters of English who wrote such a
clear style that one never needs to
read single sentence twice to dis
cover the meaning. And old-fashion-
ed readers, who regard clearness as one
of the main essentials of a good style.
will continue to believe that the au-
thors of "The Scarlet Letter" and
" Kidnapped" will be read widely
when Henry James and the "Golden
Bowl" are forgotten.

IDENTIFY like some of Uncle Sam s war
ships-she needs plenty of sea room
for evolutions. The Umbria ran on
a sandspit at the mouth of the Fraser
river after her guns had raked Fender
island. The officers were in apparent
ignorance of the fact that their shells
were plunging over a quiet farming
settlement. Fortunately only one horse
came in the way of projectile, and an
international complication will be
averted by the Italians paying the

PROTECT THE MERCHANTS.

Every dollar spent outside of the
city tends to injure the progress and
development and growth of the mu-
nicipality. Our merchants are thor
oughly alive to the fact that in order
to meet the competition of the mail or
der houses it is vitality necessary that
they carry in stock the right goods
and sell them at the right prices. In
this age of fierce competition it is alb
solutely required that merchants must
have at all times reliable merchandise
and sell it at a price that is fair.
Prescott boasts of having aggressive
mercantile houses that have built up
reputation for fair and honorable
dealing. If it were otherwise they
would not be in business here today.
This is not the ease with the mail or
der houses, however. These institu-
tons issue mammoth catalogues con-
tanning several thousands of pages, and
they are so illustrated and the mer-
chandise described so cunningly that
most of the people are deceived by
their statements. In ninety-nine cases
out of a hundred the person who sends
an order to one of these houses is dis
satisfied with the goods when they
are received. 1t is a fact that the
highly-colored descriptions of the mer-
chandise in the catalogues give the i'm
preston that the goods are of a supe-
rior quality and that the price is be-
low that of any other mercantile
house. If the readers would only stop
a moment to consider that these cata-
logues cost many thousands of dollars
to produce they would pause before
they sent an order to one of these in
situations. 1t is said by the best
of authorities that the cost of doing
a mail order business amounts to %
per cent. If such is the fact, and
there is every reason to believe that it
is so, it is evident that the mail order
houses must get big profits on their
The mail order houses claim that
they buy in such large lots that the
mills and factories can and do sell to /
them at a lower figure than to other
merchants. This is not borne out
by the facts. The mills and fac
tories will sell in lots to any merchant
who can take a certain stipulated guam
tity. Our merchants here in Pres
colt buy many lines of merchandise
equally as cheap and in many cases
cheaper than the mail order houses, and
these goods are offered for sale to the
at even lower prices than
The so-called Especial brands" of the
Eastern houses. We venture the
prediction that any line of standard
merchandise can be duplicated here
n Prescott at lower figure than the
zane is offered fo- in the mail order
catalogues, when freight is considered.

yauge lines the people of this county

FOR IMMEDIATE PEACE.

Necessity compels Russia to make
longer, because she has not the means
to go on fighting. There is no posi-
bility that a new navy can be built
within several years, and meanwhile
Japan will acquire warships faster
than the Gar, because already she has
several under construction-notably
Britain-and she can buy where she
pleases, because her credit stands
higher today than at any time since
the conflict began, more than year
made navy, because the nations having
first-class battleships which would be
of the service which the Gar must
have to be able to make Roadway on
the Eastern seas will not sell. The
great naval powers, like England, Ger
many and the United States, are in
line not to get rid of their ships, but
to acquire more. They are not selling;
they are buying; they are not decreas-
ing their sea power; they are inereas-
ing it. Furthermore, the great money
markets are not lending money to
Russia to continue the war. They have
shut off supplies. They will take Rus
sian bonds to pay indemnity to Japan
and to end the waste and havoc now
beyond the power of the Romanoff
government to stay in any other man
ner than by accepting the terms of
peace which the victor offers.
The conditions of peace will not be
and ought not to he mild. Russia
forced the war. She drove the Japan
csc to arms, though all the civilized
world protested against the course of
the insolent invaders of China, and. I'M
scrupulous and corrupt bureaucracy in
st. Petersburg. If Japan had not
drawn the sword some other of the
great powers must have done so to
check the raid of the Bear on civiliza-
ance of the customs and rights of en-
lightened peoples. The powers of
Europe will desire, as much as Japan,
that Russia learn lasting lesson and
carry a penalty which shall prevent
a recurrence of the acts which plunged
the two nations into war. And she
must pay all that she has cost Japan
to perform the work, which has been
in the interest not only of the yellow
races but of all the countries having
trade relations with the East.
Peace being necessary from phys
ical causes as well as desirable for
moral reasons, and the Gar intending
to make it on what terms he can, there
should be no delay in bringing the
negotiations to a close. For the Ro-
manoffs to shed more innocent blood
of peasants, running it in rivers, for
the purpose merely of satisfying court
punctilio, when such sacrifice cannot
change a comma that must go into
the treaty, would be to out-Herod
Herod, or since there is nothing more
stubbornly brutal than the grand ducal
bureaucracy, to out-Romanoff a Rom
anoff. Peace is coming. 1t is COM
ing on the terms of the victorious ia
panese. It should be achieved i'm
mediately before the helpless army of
Linevitch pours out last libation of
blood to the superstitions of a dynas-
tic "honor" stepped in crime against
humanity and surfeited with atroeity.
