not only engaged but successful. Some
charming pieces are known as the work
of Miss Jane Carson, Of Cleveland, and
others, including breaches, watch fobs,
lamps, jewel boxes, tongs, etc. The

that Americans preferred to buy thei

that this is no longer the case. Amer

A SEMl-PAUPER
 DEAD IN PHOENIX
Probably a Brother of the Author of
 the New York Raines Law.

It is possible. though the fact has not yet been determined. that when Joseph & Raines fell dead in the Casino saloon week ago, after having lived precariousIy about Phoenix and after having been an inmate of the poor house. that a prominent New York family was robbed of member.
 Raines had been an old soldier. He had a small pension but nothing else in the world. His quarterly pititance was spent at the saloons and after it was gone and his old comrades had wearied O. lis imDortunities, Raines would return to the county house and remain until his next allowance came due.
 A day or two after his death one of his old comrades called at Easterling & Whitney's undertaking rooms where the body was awaiting burial, and told Mir. Easterling that if the relatives of Raines knew of his death they would give him a princely funeral. He said that one of his brothers was Governor Raines of New York. He advised that a telegram be sent him or to United States Senator Chauncey M. Depew, who had known the dead man.
 MT. Easterling at first paid little at tention to this information but later v though there had never been a Cover nor Raines of New York there was a distinguished New York politician of that name, State Senator John Raines. known to fame as the man wno pro vided that at times in New York it shall be necessary to buy a sand wich in order to get a glass of beer.
 The New York Legislature being in session, MT. Easterling sent a telegram to Senator Raines at Albany but re- ceived no direct reply. Yesterday, however. he received a telegram from pr. J. w. Day of Rochester, N. Y. saying that Joseph $. Raines had three sisters, one of wnom was the wife of the sender. The telegram di- rected that the body be held for fur ther orders.
 Late yesterday afternoon a teIe- gram came from Mary C. GOoding, of whom nothing had been known, order ing the burial of Raines and saying that she would forward money to pay expenses. This telegram came from Barstow. Cal.
 It is surmised that this telegram

THREE CENTURIES
 .AGt OF TUCSON
New Data Found Among the Archives
 of San Xavier.

pr. Alexander Craig, in a cOmmuni- cation to the Arizona Star, contributes the following to the story of the an- tiquity of Tucson:
 I wish to furnish your readers with some items of information about Tue son, which I have taken some pains to collect and which I think approximate ly correct.
 That large stock of Uncle Sam's do- main, lying in the southwestern corner of the United States, including the ter iitOry of Arizona and the southern half of California and embracing nearly 100000 square miles is destined to be the pleasure ground of the great republic. It is the land of almost per- petual sunshine; it is the land of health, wealth and golden opportu- mites. One of the most favored spots in this large area is Tucson, Arizona.
 This beautiful and interesting town is situated on slightly rolling plain. containing about 120 square miles. and havin gan elevation of 2,4OO feet above the level of the sea. This great plain or amphitheater, is almost surrounded by majestic mountain ranges. some of which rise to an altitude of 10000 feet It is three hundred miles west of Fl Paso. the gate city Of old Mexico. 5G0 miles east of Los Angeles. and on the main line of the Southern Pacific railroad. There can be no doubt that Tucson enjoys the distinction of being the oldest city in the United States. When that intrepid Spaniard. Melen- 6ez, discovered the coast of Florida planted the standard of his country and founded the city of St. Augustine in the year of our Lord. 1865. Tucson was struggling and growing pueblo. and had been for thirteen years This is not according to our text books on geography. but it is just as much a fact, for all that. and the proof of it may be found in stained and time worn document of vellum. signed by their Catholic majesties Ferdinand and Isabella. and cOuntersigned by the vice roy of Mexico and General Coronado. who in the early part of 1852. raised the flag of SDain over the little Indian vil- laSe of Tucson and laid the corner stone of the first mission with his own hands. This important paper was lost to the public until about twelve yeears ago when it was discovered by a mere accident among the archives of the ancient church of San Xaxfer. nine miles south of Tucson. As a matter of DreCautiOn it was forwarded to the li- brarian al Washington D. C.. where it now lies. This discovery gives the residents of Tucson the right to claim that their city is the oldest in the United States. There may be no com mercial value to this assumption but it is an interesting fact that should be more generally known.

A RUN ON DRAWN WORK
The Indications are There Will be a
 Bigger one This Week.

Never before was there such a vol tune of Mexican drawn work handled in this part of the country as passed over the counters of Balke's Big Curfo store last week. For the first time many of the ladies of the city learned that a mammoth stock of this hand some material was carried by this store. They saw the magnificent win Republican. They found that what was in the window was a comparative. ly small part in either volume or va Iiety of the whole stock. There is everything, though the heavy purchas- es of the week cut into it. Two very handsome and very large table cloths were sold and there are now left only two of the very finest quality. There has been a very heavy demand for the handsome collars and cuffs of Mexican drawn work.
 In order to further call attention to this particular line MT. Bake has de- termined to offer q reduction of twen- ty-five per cent for this week on all Mexican drawn work and he thinks at the rate it is going he will have about enough to last for a week.
 By this means he will have let the town know all about it and will have enlarged his market for the next lot which he will bring in. He is already making preparations for his approach ing trip to Mexico, where he will, as he has been doing for several years, arrange for the entire output of the convent at Guadalajara, where the fin est drawn work in the world is made.
