MISF0RTUNES OF A
 FORMER PHOENIX MAN
Charles H. Holmes Again Sent To
 Insane Asylum.

The following from the Los Angeles | Times details the continued misfor- tunes of a young man who lived in this city for some time:
 Charles Harvey Holmes. the gro ceryman who caused some amusement when before the lunacy commission and who. when found by alienists to
 be insane, demanded jury trial. was tried in Judge Gibbs court yester- day by a jury.
 The irrational talk of Holmes while upon the witness stand was the best possible evidence against his conten- tion that he had been suffering from the effects of a drunken spree and that he was not insane. Much of his state ments, and some of the answers he gave, denoted a certain sharpness, but his mind was in a hopeless tangle and the jury, inside of five minutes, found him to be insane.
 The case is rather sad one, for some years ago. Holmes, while work ing for his livelihood, in his home state, Kentucky, attended Center col lege for two years, and passed his ex- aminations so brilliantly that he was presented with gold watch suitably inscribed. But the strain then put upon his brain was his undoing Shortly afterward he had to be sent to the asylum, and when discharged he came west to Phoenix, and there again he had a relapse and was confined in the asylum. After being released he came to this city and opened a gro cery store. One day he went to Hunt ington Beach and at the inn there ere ated a disturbance by claiming to be a partner with II. E. Huntington. He wanted to discharge the manager and other employees at the Huntington Beach inn, and that is what led to his arrest.

PIKE AND THE GOLD DIscoV.
 FRIES.

Gold is the magic which started this
 transformation, and here again Pike's personality touches the history of Col orado and the entire mountain region closer than is commonly realized. Will liam Green Russell in 1858 found the gold on Cherry creek, which started that "Pike's Peak or Bust procession of prairie schooners. stretching from the Missouri river to the mountains, which put Denver and Colorado on the map. one day in 1891. in a locality which had been trOdden over by tens of thousands of hunters. ,trappers, sol

 Africa, Robert Womack. a cowboy,

 self as Cripple Creek. For the past ten
 years Colorado has led California, and
 has furnished more gold annually than
 any other community in the United
 States. This supremacy has been due
 to Bob" Womack's discovery. In it's
 15 F years Cripple Creek has contrib
 uted $175,00O.0OO to the worlds gold
 stock. Its S19.00O.0O0 output in 1905
 would have paid the price which Jef-
 ferson gave Bonaparte for the F states
 comprising the Louisiana province, and
 would, in addition, have paid the cost
 of Lewis and Clark's and of Pike's ex-
 ploration of that territory. Cripple
 Creek produced more gold in the first
 eight months of 1906 than the entire world did in the entire year 1906. Here is where Pike's personality touches the
 particular stream of destiny that put Colorado on the Worlds map. While he was a prisoner among the Span
 iards at Santa Fe in 1907, Pike met James Pursley, an American trapper and adventurer, whom peril from the Indians and the rigors of the wilder ness drove into that town shortly be- fore Pike reached it, and who remained there for years. ''Ie assured me-" says Pike in his journal that he had found gold on La Platte. and had carried some of the virgin mineral in his shot pouch for months. He had imprudent- ly mentioned it to the Spaniards, who had frequently solicited him to lead a detachment of cavalry to the place; but, conceiving it to be our territory, | he refused" Here. indeed. was a reve- lation which entities Pursley to a place l in Colorado annals Moreover. we can l well imagine that Pike strengthened l his countryman in the determination | to keep his secret to himself.

GOULD BROTHERS
 BUY LEMON HOTEL
Will Rehabilitate and Reopen Ii
 About Nov 1.

An important realty transaction was consummated yesterday through the office of W. K. James, MT. James be- ing assisted in the deal by John Bag giore, when AntOne and Martin Gould bought the old Lemon hotel corner of the Merriman Land and Stock com pany The consideration was $1O,500 When seen concerning their invest ment and plans for utilizing the prop erty, the Gould brothers said it was their purpose to rehabilitate the old building and open a first class hotel perfect in all its appointments. To that end a force of carpenters will to- day begin the repairs necessary to the woodwork. The new owners propose to spend from four to five thousand dollars in remOdeling and repairing the building and will provide entirely new furnishings. Antone Gould will leave for Los Angeles on Saturday night to buy the furniture. bar fixtures and other necessary equipment.
 MT. Gould said it was their purpose to open a first class dining room. a new bar, office and billiard room, re- pair the walls, windows, and floors where necessary, repaint the structure put it in first class shape for the best patronage and reopen it under the name of the Gould hotel, about No vember l. It will be provided with parlors, piano and all the comforts and conveniences to be found in per fectly equipped hostelry.

 now living in San Francisco. The his
 tory of the building has been one of constant deteri6ration in every way, mainly through frequently changing tenants and the failure of the owners to spend sufficient money to keep it in repair, until it finally became a ques- tiOnable resort and later no resort at all for it was closed up and has for some time past been unOccupied.

PADEREwskps WEALTH.

When you are asked to pay $3 "up' to hear Paderewsli, remember that MT. Curtis writes from Warsaw that Fade rewski is worth several millions. and is the principal owner of the new Hotel Bristol. altogether the finest in Russia. and one of the best in Europe. Every thing about it is on a magnificent scale. The decorations and furnishings are very artistic. the plumbing and all the appointments are of the most modern pattern, and there is no hotel in the United States or Europe that sur passes it in either beauty or comfort. It cost $S,000,OO0. "and the manager told me that Paderewski owned the majority of the stock, which repre- sents his earnings in England and America. Paderewski has a magnif- icent suite of apartments, which he occupies whenever he comes to War saw" This shows what can be done by diligent practice of five finger ex- ercises.-Buffalo Commercial

HUGHES WOULD BEAT BOTH.

Hearst and Jerome the first named would be last in the race. Scarcely anybody doubts. however. that if MT Hughes were nominated he would beat both Jerome and Hearst and be the next governor of New York.-Harper's s Weekly.

 IN A NEVADA TOWN
The Creation of Demand for Search

When Justice Burnett was on the coast he became interested in. not to say infatuated. with Searchlight, Nev. real estate and bought six lots in the center of the town. SearcnIight is in the newest gold district and is being approached by two railroads, the Santa Fe and the Salt Lake routes. It is given out that the former will reach the place in thirty days, though it will probably be about three months. But every time the road gets a mile nearer property goes up a notch. It was this constantly upward tendency that in duced Justice Burnett to get in before the lots got out of reach.
 After he had provided himself with real estate he thought of his friends in Phoenix and sought to make pro vision for them. The man who has the lots in charge did not see how it could be done. He said that by the time he could get an order for a cer- tain parcel from Phoenix, the chances were that it would have been sold. Accordingly Justice Burnett devised d unique plan. He arranged to bring with him a map of the town with numbered lots and blocks; also photo graphs and literature; to receive by mail every day from the agent a letter showing what property was still open to investors. Jn case of sales here orders were Io De IeIegraphed to the agent who if the property still re- mained unsold was to reply by wire "all right"
 Searchlight is a town of 250O and the friends of it predict that within a year after the railroads enter, it will be a place of 10000.

Novel Flower Party.

At an afternoon party given for Is

come wearing something TO indicate a

The hostess gave out little hand

guesses to be written in and prize of
a huge bouquet of asters was awarded
TO the girl who guessed the most and
a box Of marshmallows to the one hav-

ADVICE BY EXPERT.
EASY MEANS OF ATTAINING A
GRACEFUL FIGURE.
Simple Exercise Recommends by a
Famous Physical Culturist-
Mistakes Of Beginners.

An English physical culturist has
invented some exercises which he
calls the empire exercises. He took
them TO Paris, but he found that
the women there did not need them.
And row he has sent them to this
country.
These exercises. gathered together
briefly, are these: They are called
the empire exercises, and they are for
the reduction OF the belt line. Only
this, and nothing more. unless one is
full in the throat. when there are ex-
ercises for making the throat smaller.
Most people practicing the en-
pire exercises will tighten up the
belt But this is not the way The
belt should be very loose to give the
waist muscles full play. The corset
should be taken of while one is ex-
ercising.
The empire exercises are simple
enough. Put on something loose and
do this: Step forward and sink upon
knee Regain your position and step
forward with the other foot and sink
upon the other knee One foot goes
forward and the other knee bends
That Is the way to do it The rule
is to keep on until you are pretty well
tired out
The English instructor advises mod
GRAFTON. He says amateurs do toe
much in the beginning, and the re
suit is a serious relapse. They get
so tired that they take to the couch
and then there is no more exercise
for weeks and months. Maybe the
