HEARST AND LINCOLN.

Lincoln Steffens, in his article on Hearst, the Man of Mystery" in the November number of The American Magazine, reports the following inter- view with Hearst about Hearsts am bition for office:
 Why do you want office yourself! ! Was that an early ambition?
 NO. my early ambition was to do my part in newspapers, and l still pro pose to do a newspaper part. But when I saw mayors and governors and presl- dents fail.

THE ARIZONA PIONEERS
 WILL GET THE MONEY
Writ Issued by Supreme Court Against Territorial Auditor on Prayer of Leatherwood and Others.

A rather important mater was brought to a conclusion in the district court yesterday in the ordering of writ of mandamus in the case or k. N- LeatherwOod and others against Wes- ley Hill. territorial auditor to compel the disbursement of an appropriation made by the last legislature in favor Of the Arizona Pioneer Historical society. The amount of the appropriation was $500.
 It was contended on the part of the territory that the legislation was i'm proper and numerous authorities were cited to show that it was contrary to the provisions of the Harrison act
 While the court did not recognize all the contentizns of the petitioners It held that the legislation was within the power of the legislature. and the writ prayed for was ordered.
 There were several other matters which had been set for hearing at this meeting of the court but in most oi the cases service had not been made upon the parties interested and all those cases went over to the regular meeting in January.
 The report of the examining commit tee appointed the day before recom- mended the admission of O. C. Crooke F. H. Hayes, R. C. Stanford, B. E. Marks and Isaac Earth. w.

 Some time ago he went to Justice Burnett to have will made bequeath- ing his property consisting of his house and lot to niece in Connecticut. The justice advised him that it would be better to execute a deed to the prop erty and put it away to be recorded after his death. He agreed that that would be the better way, and the deed was prepared and put into the safe of the justice.
 In day or two the old man became suspicious and passed the office ire duently to assure himself that the justice had not run away. Having sat- isfied himself on that point. he came around daily and peeped into the off, flee to make sure that the safe was still there.
 Finally he compelled the justice to give up the deed and the business was transferred to somebody else. At the ! time of his death the old man had about S93. There were four $2O gold certificates in an old pocketbook. and
 they had doubtless been there undis' turbed for years.

WHY THE Y. N. C. A.

Its Especial Benefit to Town Whose Winter Population Includes So Many Strangers.

 Sir: The Y. NJ. C. A. dates back in history sixty-two years. It is of Eng fish birth, and has had a remarkable growth in the United States, especially during the past decade. It had its orl- gin in the felt needs of young men. Its marvellous growing influence and power are due largely to the changed conditions of social and business life in our country. Now as never before have young men and boys needed the protection. the help. the opportunities the inspiration that the Y. NJ. C. A, properly conducted, can give.
 No other city can probably present better field for such an organization to accomplish a great work than PhoeniN. What can be done? Does a stranger need help. or to be helped 10 help him. self? The Y. NJ. C. A. is in a position | to be his friend. Does a young man or boy need pleasant place to spend an hour under cheerful surroundings and uplifting influences? The '. M. (.

The Y NJ. C. A. makes an or
 ganized effort to meet such demands
 Is a young mans occupation such that
 he needs more physical exercise than
 he gets? The gymnasium is built and equipped especially to meet his re- ouirement. Are there those who wan' to find a place away from evil associa'
