THE AMERICAN EAR.

Americans think we have verry fun ny surnames, and we think theirs have something humorous. An American tourist recently said that he found end less entertainment in the names over the shop windows in London. but he said 1t to an Englishman who had had the same pastime in reading the names over the stores of New York. "Bot1n!' said the American with mirth. "Buffum." replied the English man. And not only are both these names amusing to the stranger today, but Dickens noted them each in his own country, and used them both, one adorntng scenes in England and the other scenes in America. It is. of course. a mere prejudice, but we would put 1t to any Englishman whether he does not think Buffum funnier than Botlin. Of course he does. To the English ear Dodge and Lick are quaint. and so, to the American ear, is Doodle. London Chronicle

So rapidly has the population increas- ed, that notwithstanding the fact that many small residences are being Euilr constantly, there are many families waiting for the completion of cottages. Large districts and hill tops where a year ago there were. no houses. are now covered with cottages. There are but few pretty homes being built. for the great demand i sfor three to five room cottages for rental purposes. the great demand is for three to five thousand dollars, and rent for from SIS to $25.
 As an instance. a year ago ''Pascoe Hill" had but one home. It was plat ted and lots were sold for $1O apiece. Now lots are worth $2OO to $4OO each. And there are no less than fifty cot tages which have been built there
 There are about 250O men employed in the mines, which means a pay roll of something over $2OO.OOO month for Globe. About 2OOO men are employed by the Old Dominion.
 will Globe continue to grow is the question often asked. Few there are in Globe that do not think so. The business men back up that opinion by the expenditure of vast sums in mod ern business blocks, many of which are not surpassed by those of any town in Arizona. Many are four story buildings, substantial and beautiful Tn modern architecture.
 The Dominion Hotel is now practice ally completed and is expected to be opened August 1st. It Is one of the best hotels in the southwest and one of which Globe is justly proud. partic- ularly so as to date Globe has had practically no hotel. It cost $75,O0O The structure is a four-story brick with a stone trimmed front. It is 75x 10S feet The furnishings of the bar and the lobby are neat and handsome.

OUR ECONOMIC DEspors.
Can They Be Controlled by National
legislation
From the London Speaker.

From the LONDON Speaker
But here comes up the crucial problem
which In a dozen different instances pre-
sents itself in the great American democ-
racy. Can Congress make effective laws
to control those groups of railroads, hnan-
ciaI and industrial capitalists who have adj
mittedly become the economic and, wheT.
they choose, the political despots of the
nation, or having made such laws, can
they secure their efficient, regular and
pure administration by the executive and
the judicature? 1t Is here in the main a
question of inspection. But inspection Is
the touchstone of efficiency In modern gov
eminent and this case puts 1t to Its severest
test. For while occasional inspection will
serve for many purposes, the conditions of
the meat trade involve a continuity of at
tention. skill and rigor which are dirneu t
to get In Germany and England, and which
1t Is safe to say never have been got in
the public service of the United States In
any class of lower grade officials. 1t re-
mains to see how the government of the
United States, with the difficulties i'm
posed on her by the limitations of the fed
erai power, viii rise to the occasion. Mean
time 1t would be well for US to check the
somewhat pharisaic tone of our COMPARE
sons, and to do little more investigation
on our own account into the conditions of
the slaughtering and sale Of cattle in this
country, so as to get satisfactory answer
to certain pertinent questions bearing on
the contrast between the large number OF
animals rejected as unfit for food in the
metropolis and the quite negligible number
rejected in most districts OF the country.
These questions distinctly suggest that
thousands of diseased carcasses are sold
for human food In British markets. Had
we not better look to this, not assuming
that all diseases, like bad weather come
to us from America?

ENDANGERED BY DRIFTING LOGS
Navigation Along Pacific Coast Men
aced by Wrecked Raft.

From the San Francisco Call.
Capt. Ernest Bent, commander of the
Japanese liner Hongkong Maru. which ar
rived yesterday from the orient, is glad
that he able to make his approach to
port in daylight. If he had come in at
night he believes his vessel would have
been seriously crippled. as in the darkness
1t would have been almost impossible to
have avoided collision with some of the I'M
mense logs, which were first encountered
Farallones and through which the Hong
kong threaded her way until she passed in
beyond the nine fathom buoy.
These logs formed part of the raft which
left Astoria May III tow of the steamer
Francis II. Leggett. The Leggett lost the
raft, which subsequently, went to pieces, to
the great peril of coastwise shipping. They
are logs of great size. Launched head-on
by the heavy ocean swell against the hull
of ship. any one of these floating menaces
could tear hole through the stoutest OF
steel plates II the propeller of a steam
ship struck one of these dereiicts the pro-
peler would do no more propelling, IL the
engines were not crippled by the Jar.
These logs are scattered across the en-
trance to this harbor like q feet of sub
marine boats, and are every bit as deadly.
Far beyond the Farallones they float, iurk-
ing dangers to approaching and departing
craft. and vessels from the south report en-
counters with these silent monsters from
the northern forests long before the bar is
reached Capt. Bent has made report
concerning the logs to the United States
lighthouse board, and masters of departing
vessels are warned to keep sharp look
all made up of huge logs, in the wrecked
raft.

with long, forward stretched neck, stopped

too ethereal to care about breathing and
still less about eating. This girl had
dropped and stopped since she was about
fifteen. and when she was twenty-one she
was happy in what she called her artistic
and esthetic figure" To me 1t suggested
nothing but weak lungs and spine that

PRINCESS CHARLIE.
Wished She Was a Reporter, but Be-
came a Queen Instead.

From the Strand Magazine.
Until her marriage the present Queen of
Denmark was known to her intimates as
Charlie and to the world at large as ono
OF the brightest and liveliest, most cordial
and unaffected girls In the whole British
royal family. This world liked to hear oc-
cssional stories about her and liked partic-
ularly that lively little anecdote OF her
Irritation with the reporter at the railway
station.
He had come to write up royal depar-
ture, she had to bid a friend goodbye. He
made otes=of the dresses including her
own, and she saw what he was doing.
At last she, too. took out piece of paper
and pencil, scrubbed on 1t something
hastily and. crumpling the paper into
little ball, threw ii at the feet of the re-
porter. The royal message read:
II wish I were a reporter, tool!
Princess Charlie-or Princess Maud. to
give her the name by which she was Official
ly known-was brought up very strictly.
She was not permitted, it appears. to read
a book or to see play unless the book
had been read or the play seen. She was
never allowed to make visits unaecompani-
ed by one or both of her parents, except TO
the home of her French governess, ana
never received gift except from her own
family.
Curiously, too, the number of her toys
was limited. Nearly all her dolls-whfch
were few In number-came from the Mar
quis of Lorne, with whom she was a great
fayorite She was ten years old before she
was allowed to own q watch
Yet this little princess had pretty hap
by time She cared for music and became
an excellent pianist, learned both German
and French from her two goyernesses and
received a very careful religious training.
In connection with this 1t may be recalled
that she was christened. not in the chapel
royal. as was then customary. but at MARI
borough House. and that Dean Stanley Of
ficiated on this important occasion.
Princess Maud was child OF varied
tastes. deyotee of hobbies. She liked
riding and cycling-and likes them still

her motaler is so skilled, took up book
binding, learned to spin and studied many
handicrafts with more than passing inter-

From the London Mail
In his home in quiet North London sub
urb a clean-shaven. resolute young man,
with a c,ear-cut business head and a pre-

with a Daily Mail representative the past
and the future
II was William Barmash, the man who
concerned in the most sensational
forgery OF Bank of England notes OF recent
times He has Just been released on
ticket-of-leave after having served only a
third of the sentence OF ten years penal
servtude passed upon him in December.

not the most blameworthy. OF the forgers;
and his liberty has been given him, to use
his own words, so that l may make a
fresh start in life. and devote my energies

ing"
Barmash was transferred from Park
hurst to Pentonvllle prison after serving
three years and three months and then re-
leased TO rejoin his wife and children For
general good conduct and services rem
dered' Barmashs original sentence or
ten years was reduced to five, with n
further reduction of six months OF the
usual remission OF three months year for
excellent behavior.
To his credit. IT must be said he has
done all in his power to make atonement.
and his attempt to readjust the balance of
justice. although IL has not altogether COM
mended itself to former associates. has
won him the highest opinions of the police
and prison authorities. This he firmly in
tends 10 follow up by severing all the old
criminal ties
Under new name Barmash has made q
fresh start, and none OF hts neighbors who
see weil-groomed kindly mannered man
with his little ones making much of him
after his long absence connect him with
the notorious bank forger.
II will be remembered that after the trial
his father. Solomon Barmash. paraiyzed
and a cripple. who had been sentenced TO
fifteen years imprisonment shot himself In
a cell at Newgate. How he procured the
revolver after the careful search. and de-
spite the prison precautions. has remained
