4 JOINT INSTITUTE
 FOR FAIR WEEK
A Movement to Bring Territorial
 Teachers Together.

Superintendent Fulton has opened correspondence with the other county school superintendents of the territory with the object of having a joint conn ty institute in this city in the week of the territorial fair The idea Originat ed with Professor Scudder of the Je- rome schools and the president of the Territorial Teachers association.
 The object is to bring the association together under the guise of a joint in stitute since there is no legal recog- milton of the association how ever it may be. The law though does provide for the hold ing of joint county institutes in which two of the counties or all of them may participate.
 The meetings of the association have usually been well attended but the attendance has always been at considerable sacrifice on the part of the teachers. It is thought a monster joint institute will bring out the great est number of teachers ever collected in Arizona and no better time could be suggested for the assemblage than fair week, when everybody will be wanting to come to Phoenix anyhow.
 The movement for the joint institute is of such recent origin that no expres- sions from the other counties have yet been received but there is little doubt | that responses will generally be favor able

 The publicity men" of the corpora serve a good purpose. That is to say, they will serve a good purpose as we reach the happy time when the cor poration will lie down with the public and the investigator ceases from trou- bling. Even for the present he serves good purpose-under a certain de- gree Of suspicion and the degree of suspicion is determined by the char acter of the corporation that he serves What he gives forth will be received as a special plea-as an attorneys givings-fOrth are received-true, of course, but true with the interest of his employer in view, which is the same as to say sometimes a half truth. The railroad companies and groups of railroad companies have long main tained literary bureaus. having taken the idea from the political parties in campaign times. Now the veracity of political campaign bOoks-was that ever questioned?
 In this tangled world the publicity man" may, therefore, unite some trou- blesOme knots or he may himself be another knot that the reporters and the public must unite; it will all de- pend on your man and on your cor poration. Thus you came out where you went in, and truth is as elusive as ever, in spite of the multiplicity of her salaried ministers.-From the July Worlds Work.

hotel and pointed him out to the woman.
 When she asked him about the let ter. he denied having written it. The matter was put into the hands of Unit ed States Court Commissioner John stone and was referred by him to the office of the United States attorney. The investigation was pursued until yesterday. when the arrest of Boyd was ordered. He was arraigned and will be given a preliminary hearing today.
 Assistant United States Attorney Jones and other officials said that the letter is the viIest imaginable. Vile ness is in every line. MT. Jones said
 that the extent of human depravity which would prompt such an epistle is almost beyond comprehension.
 When Boyd was arrested. several let
 ters were found in his pocket. One was from the little girl to whom the offensive letter had been addressed. It was evidently in reply to one of the
 same character fsom Boyd, but the let ter of the girl was such as a schoolgirl might be expected to write to one whom she had known for a long time. The child is said to be a good girl and a Sunday school worker. She is Of good family.
 But among the letters found on Boyd were several in at least two different handwritings. evidently from other
 girls. which vied with his own com position in wickedness.
 r The arrest of Boyd created great as tonishment among his friends. They could not at first believe that he would | do such a thing. He has always been regarded as a law-abiding citizen and | is well liked. It was the general opin- | ion that he is lapsing into insanity | Judge A. c. Baker has been retained l for the defense.

THE PUBLICITY MEN" OF COR
 PORTIONS.

It has become a fashion of the large corporations to employ publicity men," that is to say. men whose sole business t is to give out information about the corporations Most of them are men who have had experience as reporters and editors of newspapers very wisely, because a man. who has not had experience in "han- ding news" generally makes mess of it when he has information to impart to the press. Tn fact, a good deal of the inaccuracy of the news papers (and of magazines, tool which is so stupendous as to be a national crime. is committed by the men who impart the news. This must be true, because many an item in a newspaper is so full of inaccuracies that no re- porter alone, even though he have a genius for error, could possibly have made them all. If you should ever have a week with nothing to do, and chose to amuse yourself by tracing all the mistakes that you found in news paper item which you yourself had given to a reporter, you would be like ly to discover. to your shame, that a part of them were yours, a part Of them the reporters. For a man who can accurately. give a piece of news is much more rarely found than re- porter who can take an item accu- rately.

A FROG STORY.

Perhaps in all the history of the Alton, says the Bloomington Panta- graph, there was not a more remark able incident than that of Sunday morning at Alton, when a shower of frogs stopped the great engine of the Alton limited and made it impossible for the iron horse to travel over the rails. The train was northbound and the engine was 511 with Engineer Al Barker, the veteran, at the throttle. Just before the train reached Alton there was a heavy rain storm and when the water ceased, the people were amazed to find the ground literally alive with frogs about the size of a silver quarter. When the engine sought to take the train up to Alton hill. the frogs on the tracks were crushed and the flesh acted like so much grease, de- stroying the tractive force. The driv- CTS revOlved furiously but the train would not move an inch. Finally after fifty minutes was lost waiting for a pusher. the train was taken up the hill Engineer Barker later made up twenty minutes of the delay. In the pit of the roundhouse of the company there, the frogs were especially numerous, and they were assembled there to the depth of fully twelve inches. Many were alive but most of them were dead Where they came from is a mystery that no one could explain.

wANAMAKER AND ADVERTISING.
How the Great Merchant Trains His
 EmpIoYes.


 "John Wanamaker has done more toI make advertising pay and to help Philadelphia and New York newspa- ,1ers to get on their feet financially than any other man." was the remark of a Philadelphia advertising man. James McMurray. at the Republican house. ''Wanamaker was. years agO, firm believer in advertising, and. in stead of waiting for advertising men to furnish him with ideas. he turned out the ideas himself
 He keeps a school of advertising which is conducted much like a city staff of newspaper. Dozens of young men out of college are taken into the department to show whether they can make good. Each is assigned to look over a certain department and write ads for it. These are submitted to the head of the department for approval and are then turned over to the head of the advertising department.
 'Wanamaker made Philadelphia the best advertising city in the east. His men were taught, not to advertise 3 cent calico as marked down from 10 cents. but to describe the quality of goods so carefully that a housewife would desire to go right down to the store and put her hands on it to learn whether it was as good as claimed. New York papers had never printed this kind of advertising and many said it would not work there. With slight notifications. Wanamaker adopted the same course in New York when he be- gan buying newspaper space. and he showed the merchants and the adver- tising men that the people want de- scriptions of what they might buy.

National Guard
in ManeuverS.

Washington, May 15.-Letters re-
ceiVed by Assistant Secretary Oliver
from the governors Of states in answer
to his recent invitations to designate
the military organizations which they
desire to encamp with the regular
troops indicate that the proposition is
popular among tho National Guards
men beyond "Xpection.
In fact ii has become evident that the
limited appropriation of 500. 900 for this
purpose will be entirely insufficient m
less supplemented by Congress, as
many Of the governors have replied to
the invitation that they would direct
that all of their militia organizations
enter the combined camps.
Therefore Mr.. Oliver has been
obliged to send out another letter 10
these governors stating that for the
pl "scnt the department will be able to
ca" completely for only one regiment
Of infantry, one troop Of cavalry and
on" battery Of artillery from each state
providimS these with subsistence
transportation and pay.
If the governors desire to send mere
troops than these the government can
provide only for Transportation. AS
there appears to be misunderstanding
rs to the cost of rations the governors
have been informed that the field ra-
ton is limited to % and the travel ra-
lion to 40 cents.
