ENAToR THEODORE RoOsE- B WELT. known to his constitu- ents as Strenuous Ted" walked

ENATOR THEODORE ROOSE- "0 WELT, known to his constitu- O ents as Strenuous Ted" walked into Washington yesterday morning at 5:3O o'clock, having come from New York on foot to show his contempt for the railroads and incidentally smash a record between the two burgs which had been bothering him for some time. The best ever made was clipped three hours and half After putting his suit ease away Senator Roosevelt had a breakfast of ham and eggs, buttered toast and coffee, fin- ishing off with a finger bowl and piece of lemon Immediately thereafter, and not stopping to change his collar the sena- tor rushed out to wake up his colleagues. All were dressed and ready for business by s o'clock. The morning session began under tremendous pressure believed to be largely due to the energy of Senator Roosevelt, and continued until P o'clock. Two hundred and sixty-five bills were passed and forty-four speeches were made, twenty-threer of them by Sell ator Roosevelt. The afternoon session promised to be equally fruitful of good results, but a rain storm came up inop- portunely and Senator Roosevelt seeing a chance for a grandstand play. rushed out with barred head and made a talk to thousands who wanted to hear his voice.

Dog as Newsboy's Assistant.

From the Boston Herald
A small white dog which sells papers near
the Park street entrance to the subway
will soon be eligible for membership in
the Newsboys Union, if the officers can
get over the difficulty of deciding wherein
to pin his badge.
He carries on either side, secured by q
strap around his body, little leather
pouch about twice as large as that used
by men for holding fountain pens and
pencils. The dogs master sticks a paper
into one pouch and places another between
his teeth. The canine salesman does not
hold his wares long. He attracts buyers
rapidly from all sides the people come
and go from the subway, and his money
bag is soon=filled with pennies. His master,
who goes on crutches, having lost one leg,
keeps on regularly Furnishing the little
chap with two papers at a time as fast as
he needs them. The man said that he has
five similarly gifted dogs in training for
the newspaper business.

MY Castle by the Spring.

/ have fingered for an hour
By the willow-shaded spring,
Where my lady had her bower
In the days when l was king
When l reigned monarch there,
In my castle by the spring
Ger a realm some six feet square,
Meath its green boughed sheltering
Ger our heads the willow sprays
Like her harp strings caught the breeze;
In the grapevine's tangled maze
Wild birds sang sweet melodies.
Song of bird and scent of flower
Waited there on zephyr's wing
To my lady's vine-wreathed bower
In our castle by the spring.
Love-lit eyes of tender blue,
Rosy lips and teeth Of pearl;
With q heart as leal and true
To her king as steel to pole;
Fair as springtime's rarest flower,
Graceful form and regal mien;
In or out her vine-wrea thed bower
She was every inch a queen.
o the raptures Of that reign!
o the Joyous blissful then!
Memory, not unmixed with pain
VIII recall those hours again:
But alas how brief were they,
And alas for times cold frown;
Now my lady's locks are gray.
And her king has lost his crown.

GORkY |S COMING Noted Russian RevoIutioniSt and Novelist May Visit
 Arizona Soon.
LUNGS AFFLICTED
 AND HEALTH SHATTERED
May Decide to Postpone Trip
 If Russian Government Takes Him Back to Answer Charges Made Against Him,

Reports which have reached Bisbee through private sources are to the ef- feet that Maxim Gorky, the Russian novelist and revolutionary, is planning 10 visit Arizona shortly, and will spend several months in the mountains of one of the southern counties.
 Gorky, who is known in Bisbee by reputation to a large number, is said to be afflicted with incipient pull monary trouble, and must see ka eli mate more suitable for his health, or the disease will advance to such a point that it will cause his death.
 Several Bisbee people yesterday heard of the proposed visit of Gorky to Arizona, stating that they have heard he may stop in some part of the Huachuca Mountains. It was also stated that he might visit Tombstone and spend the summer in that Haco
 Gorky's plans are said to be such that he may seek some ranch in the southern part of this Territory, living the life of a cowboy in order to build up his shattered constitution
 Last nights dispatches stated that the Russians want Gorky and will make an effort to extradite him. Should they succeed, Gorky will probable call his Arizona trip oil indefinitely, while he takes sojourn in the salt mines Of Siberia. He Is said to be in New York at the present time

Main Street Adobe, Just Torn Down, Was Oldest Build
 ing in BiSbee.
PIONEERS DO NOT
 RECALL ITS BUILDING.
Passed Through Three Fires in Early Days, and Was Only Building on Main St. Left Standing After Each.

With the tearing down of the adobe building near the fire house on Main stieet to make room for a modern two story brick structure. old-timers claim that Bisbee's oldest business building has been removed forever, and will in future be but a memory.
 Built in 1878 or 1879, this building alone has withstood the fires that thrice wiped main street off the face Of the map, though itself each time left with nothing but the four walls. which being of adobe were impery1ous to the flames.
 Inquiry made yesterday among sucn old-timers as Jake Schmid, George Toles, L. c Shattuck. F.. G. Norton, L, G. Overlook, Bob Mcdonald and several others disclosed that while they all remember the building from the first, none of them appear to have been here when it was built.
 Schmid stated that when he came here in 1880 the building was then standing and had been there for some time. Toles. who came here a little earlier, says that it was built about the time of his arrival, but he cannot remember the builder.
 In 1881 a flood that came down into the bottom of the canyon from the hill back of the library building, washed out part of the front and rear, a large volume of water passing through. and sweeping out most of the contents. It was shortly after repaired and began to be occupied as a butcher shop, tenants in that line of business succeeding each other to the number of half dozen in but few more years Later it was used as 2 store and in recent times has been a saloon. Between January 1, 1885. and De, cember 31, 1888. Main street was three | times swept by fire and completely | destroyed with the exception ul cnls ! landmark. Each fire left\it the only building with walls standing. the others being of wood or adobe that could not weather the conflagraI,on It will be seen that in less than three years Main street was destroyed three times, the first fire coming on February 16, 1885, and on in eaun oi the two following years. Twice the building was in danger of l falling, it's adobe foundation giving away. Before the walls could tum. Nle. repairs were made that saved the building. On one occasion this work was done by L. c. Shattuck, who is now reputed one of the wealthiest nien in Bisbee.
 Several old-timers, who happened to be grouped together when the subject of the buildings erection was called tc their attention. discussed early days | in Bisbee as they remembered them In view of the present Bisbee, some oi the assertions they made hardly seem possible. But they were here at the time and know what they were talk | ing about.
 It is said that the old custom house below the slag dump and now used as a residence, is the first building worthy of the name, that was erected ir Bisbee. Shortly after 1t came tho rock house under Castle Rock that wa, washed away by flood last August It was built after the building jus torn down on Main street. which fol lowed closely the old custom house.
