SHOPPING.

Shopping is form of cruelty in. dnlged in by married ladies toward their husbands. II is incipient in young girls, reaches an active condition in brides, and arrives nt its smost vim. lent stage between the tenth and twenty-ffth year of married life,
 A small, delicate, slight. nervous. sensitive woman, who would faint away at m empty mouse-trap. will 20 through the shopping district in from two to seven hours, and come out rc. frcshed and sustained by an unfalterinp trust, if her husbands credit is good. while that gentleman at the end of forty'fve minutes has to he carried home on n strctcher. Some women are born shoppers, others achieve it, but not one of them has 1t thrust upon her.
 shopping is extensively practiced on week days, beginning on Monday with . rush and ending on Saturday in time for the opera. It promotes industry. Without it married men would have time to rest. ---The January Deliuoator.

 POsTAGEisTAMPs
tFrom Tuesday's Daily.)

Postage stamps bearing th~ name Prescott across the face will be on salo here early in the new year, as the government has decided upon a slight departure from the old way for it's next stamp issue.
 The new issue, besides the regulation engraving, will bear the name of the town in which it is sold, provided that town is large enough to have Especial issue"
 Under this arrangement, in addition to Prescott, Phoenix, Tucson, Bisbce, and possibly Globe and Douglas, will have n Especial issuc," with the namc of the town thereon.
 The chief reason advanced for the change is that it will show more def. initely the stamp salss of the different postoiIlccs and that A will mako it al. most impossible to successfully steal large quantities of stamps, owing to tho fact that 'if an ,attea,pt were made to dispose sf tho stamps they could easily bc traced with thc name on them. r The plan of engraving the name of the city of issue is not original with this governmepf, .as it. .bss been the GUS, tom in Mexico for yeafs.

Boise, Idaho-It has been deter

in Boise in September as "the hun
dred million dollar congress-" An
agitation is then to be started to Sc.
cure a direct appropriation OF $780,
100000 from congress to supplement
the reclamation fund. This has been
determined upon after consultation
with many of those who are leaders
in the work Of the congress. The
present fund is comparatively small
compared with the number OF avail
able projects. 1t is swelled only by
the land sales and by the payment ID
ten years installments by farmers OF
the cost of construction of works. The
success attained is so great that II
is felt the fund available for the pur'
pose should be expanded so the work
of opening arid land schemes for the

SENSATIONAL MURDER
Harry Kendall Thaw, Millionaire Of
Pittsburg Shot and Killed STAN
ford White in Theatre

New York-Harry Kendall Thaw
brother of the Countess of Yarmouth,
who shot and killed Stanford White,
the noted architect, is prisoner in
the Tombs Thaw admits the killing,
pleading that his act was justifiable;
that White had wrecked the life OF
his wife, the beautiful Florence Eve
lyn Nesbit, whose marriage to Thaw
scarcely more than year ago was
one Of the sensations of the time
The murder of White was probably
the most dramatic and sensational
tragedy this city has witnessed since
the killing of "Jim" Fiske by E. S.
Stokes more than thirty years ago.
Aside from the prominence of the
principals, the setting for the crime
was unique
The Madison Square roof garden,
which has been closed several years,
was crowded with fashionable aud

the principal comedy role in the piece,

and applause of the audience a series
of shots ratified in the rear of the
auditorium and q man in evening
dress was seen to fall across table
at which he was sitting with a party
of friends. The man who had fired
the shots fed, pistol in hand, toward
the nearest exit, where he was seized
and disarmed by police.
The audience for a few moments be-
lieved the firing of the shots was a
hoax and applauded. But develop
ments came so fast and it was SO
suddenly made clear that they had
been witnessing tragedy, that a
panic followed.
Mrs. Shaw was Evelyn Nesbit, the
Floradora Sextette girl. Harry's wild
career and his infatuation for the girl
who became his wife almost resulted
in his complete separation from the
Thaw millions. There was a recon
ciliation, however, and for more than
a year Harry's mamma has been
