A STRONG ARGUMENT.

Copies of the charges filed with the Department of Justice at Washington against Judge Fletcher M. Doan, with copies of the sworn statements, denying the truth of the charges, made by District At torney J. k. O'Connor of Pinal county. and Miss Carmen Robles, have been seen by THE OASIS edit or, and it can be said most posit- lively that more complete and clearly cut vindication was never before presented in any case. Dis triet Attorney O'Connor and Miss Robles were cited in the charges as the witnesses to prove their truth. Both indignantly deny the assertions that have been credited 10 them.
 But the peculiarity of the situa- tion is that all knowledge that such charges had been filed against Judge I)oan had been suppressed nearly year. How it was done hts been one of those mysteries that sometimes occur in the de partnents at Washington. The charges were filed in March last Since hat time friends of Judge Doan have repeatedly visited the department to push his claims and scIutinize the papers. let never has there been a word said to them about charges having been filed, nor any intimation made that such was the case. Only by the veriest accident did the matter reach Judge Doan, in a round about way--ten days before his term expired and re-appointment was due. Then, when those sen by Judge Doan to inquire went t the department they learned tha charges had been filed but were not permitted to state by whom Immediately Judge Doan, througl several senators, reached tht president and was given time t receive copy of the charges an( refute them. But it seems likel, that had not the existence of tn, charges become accidentally knowI to Judge Doan, when the presiden came to consideration of the ap pointment the charges would hay, been before him as on file in th' department ten months, with nj effort to reply made by the Judg or any of his friends.
 That just and upright jurist with a long and creditable career should be subjected to such a thrus in Che back is one of the peculiar ties of the system under which territory is governed Under system by which judges would b

Mr.. Cations Roses.

No society belle ever got handshme'
bunch of American Beauty roses than
those seen TN the desk Of Delegate
Cation, of Alexandria, in the House
Saturday. The indefatgable legislator
would not tell reporters whence came
the roses nor would his colleagues re-
veal the secret, if they knew it, Rich
mond Journal.
During the session of the House Sat
urday, Mr.. Gill, of Petersburg, lokingly
requested the gentleman from Alex
andria (Mr Caton) TO explain the
presence on his desk of an enormous box
of roses.
Mr.. Cation, replying, said, at is in-
tended as a last tribute to the rolling
stock bill, whose remains are now lying
in state, and which will be borne to
it, last resting place after the hour OF
twelve tonight. The gentleman from
Roanoke county, Mr.. Bowman, will OH

from Roanoke city (Mr. COlemsn) will
be the funeral director, while the menu

Accused Dismissed.

A white man, an inmate of an upper
s,ory of the old City Hotel, was cited to
app bef,re the Police Court this
morning charged with committing
nn;sance on the Cameron street side OF
that buildinc. The accused in his defense
said he bad been sick, and the act ior
which he had been arrsigned was
through no fault of his own, but was
Sue to the fact that the house, though
" utilized 1e in part as a tenement, was lack
inc in necessary convenience. Justice
eaton dismissed the man, remarking as
ne did so that so long as the authorities
allowed the owners OF buildings located
in the heart of the city to neglect the
same and become the abode of the I'M
pecunious, not furnishing the latter with
proper conveniences, such acts might %
expected.

Rescued from Burning House

Hemmed in by flames on all sides, the
three children of Alfred Place thrifty
young farmer of near Whitacre, FREEZER
lex county, had a miraculous escape
from being roasted alive Sunday morn
ing while their parents were at the barn
feeding live stock. Sparks from Chin
ney in the out-kitchen set FIRE to the
roof, and being an old-time log structure
the house was developed in flames before
Place and his wife heard the cries o.
their children. Regardless of personal
danger, Place rushed in, rescued the
tots and brought them cut just as the
roof fell in. Mrs. Place was overcome
from suspense and excitement, but was
revived. Mr.. Place lost all except few
pieces OF furniture, as we'll as $25 in

Ship Chambers of Old.

In reading local in the Gazette an
nouncing the death of Mr.. j. Thomas
Lindsey, tie writer thought how few OF
our citizens would call to mind and con-
slider the meaning and import OF the two
words, "ship chandler" used therein to
designate Mr.. Lindsey's business. AS
the former maritime prestige Of Alexan-
dria has waned in that branch OF COM
mercial industry the words "ship han
dler" are practically obsolete, but in the
earlier life of j. T. Lindsey 1t was

familiarity known in the commercial
thrift of maritime Alexandra, had the
confidence and friendship of a large ma
iority OF The mariners who came to this

were numbered by hundreds. Being OF
a whole-sOul, genial nature, Tom Was a

also those of the MOSQUITO feet of the
bays and inlets among whom he spent
his life time energies and abilities as an
upright solicitor and salesman to aid in
building up a successful business estab-

Colonel J. r. Cation, patron OF the

by the failure OF the measure. He an
nounced Saturday that be will renew
the fight in the next General Assembly,
if he is returned to the legislature.
Usl,nd Cation still believes that a
majority of the members favored the

absence of a number of delegates.

THE LEGIsLATURE.


The Senate was called to order in con-
s,ructive session at noon yesterday by
President Ellyson.
The president OF the Senate signed the

gsrding the members bling at ropes
end. Ne said that the allnsion might
apply to the Mann bill, the primary
bill and to various other measures, but
that he did not think he general term

The young men amongst the Nasal are all warriors Theoretically be- tween the ages Approximately of II and 27. When in this stage they ara known in their own language as Fl Moran. They pull the aead-hair ou. to its greatest length, even sometimes twisting and plating into their wool fiber and string. The hair is then thickly coated with mutton fat and red clay, and tied into perukes. All hair on the face and body is plucked out by iron tweezers. The skin h kept con- stantly fabricated with mutton fat mixed with red clay, but as rule the body is not disagreeably oily, and this fabrication only has the result of giv- ing teautiful polish to their statue- like forms.
 As regards the body, there is proba- bly no more beautifully formed type of man than the young Nasal warrior. The face is sometimes in keeping with the body, but more often has a rather
