BISBEF Is READY
 FOR CONVENTION
Arrangements for Entertaining
 Delegates Are Completed.

Bisbee is preparing with a will for the entertainment of the delegates to the territorial conventions to be held September 6. says the Review. With a vim that is characteristic of Bisbee when she starts out to do things. the finance committee chosen tO prepare for the coming of the political men of both pal ties started out last Saturday to raise sufficient money to properly take care of the guests of the Scity on the above date, with the result that last night found the cofers of the com mitte filled to the amount of $500. Judging from the way that merchants and capitalists are donating the com mittee will find itself in good shape by this evening to carry out the plans which have been promulgated for the care of the politicians who will come in from all parts of the territory less than three weeks from this day It is felt that $750. or little more. will suf- flee to meet the needs of that day. and the committee is practically assured of that amount already. and this in but two days of work.
 It was on the original program to have the delegates all come in special Pullman trains, owing to the fact that it was feared that Bisbee hotels could not take care Of the throng. This plan has been abandoned since the Copper Queen management has made arrange ments to handle the entire list of dele gates. Rooms at nearby desirable houses have been secured. and all will be taken care of by registering at the Copper Queen. From the main hotel they will be assigned their quarters in adjoining buildings
 September will be a gala day in Blsbee with the big guns of both the leading political parties on the ground. determined to forever blot out the ef- fleets of the work of the jointists. It would be difficult to imagine a more suitable place than Bisbee in which to hold the conventions of the two parties. in view of the sentiment prevailing at this time on the statehood question. The very atmosphere of the Greatest Mining Camp on Earth" reeks with the sentiment of anti-jointure. It is doubt ful if there is a loyal son of Arizona within the limits of the camp, or in her environs, who is in favor of jointure
 Bisbee will don her gladdest raiment for the occasion, and extend to the sons of Arizona who come here to name their respective candidates for terri torial honors. the warm hand of well come. Bisbee is already known throughout the territory as the greatest community in Arizona but her recent rapid strides will now be known far and wide to those who have not visited within her gates for the past few years.

EXPECTATION OF LIFE.

Insurance companies have what they term ''expectation of life" figured down almost to a certainty. That is, given the age of a man and his condition of employment and heredity. they can tell with comparative accuracy how much longer the man may reasonably expect to live. Of course. there are exceptions but the average is maintained so that the element of guesswork is eliminated
 There does not follow any assurance that the individual who elects 10 hNe to round out a century is going to do so. The ambition that causes him to make such a prophecy concerning hlm- self may buoy him up and assit him to reach the mark set; and yet when his time comes" he joins the great si- lent majority. and no protest Is Of avail People who do live for a cen tury as rule can give no particular line of conduct as a reason for hay ing done so. It is common for them to ascribe their long exemption from the summons to some regimen that would have been fatal to a person of different constitution. One woman who has just passed away at the age of 1O2 was wont to account for her longevity by a diet of cornbred and

FIRST COINS OF THE COLONIES.

The first coinage in the American colonies was in 1852. when the general court of Massachusetts established a mint in Boston and John Hull, mint master. struck silver shillings, six pences and threepences. All of these coins bore the device of the pine tree They were of the same finenesS as the English coin of like denomination, but of less weight This mint continued in operation for thirty-siX years. After while the royal oak was substi- tuted for tie pine tree. in order to concilate King Charles IT,. who disliked this minting by colony. All the above named coins bore the date of 1852. But twopenny pieces were added with the date of 1862. No other colony had a mint until 1859. when Lord Baltimore caused shillinSs. siXpeHces and greats to be coined for use in Maryland. James II issued ten coins for circula- ton in America though few of them found their way hither. In 1722, 1723 and 1733 copper coins were minted in England with the legend. Rosa Amer ica." There were also halfpence issued
 in 1773 for circulation in Virginia. and in 1774 silver shillings were added. Florida and Louisiana had colonial coins of their own before they became parts of the United States.

HOW IT IMPRESSED HIM.

A Chicago travelling man told this story the other day about another traV- cling man:
 This man Bowler was the least ob- serving fellow I ever saw. He would sit in a smoking car all day and never lolz out of the window. He had crossed the Mississippi river probably hum dred times, and had no idea whether it was forty feet or two miles wide. Well. it happened a few months ago that he and I were out in Arizona, and having a day to wait over in the vicin- ity of Williams, I decided to give him a thrill. I don't believe he had ever heard that there was such a thing s a Grand Canyon. If he had he'd for gotten it.
 See here said I. I've got to go up in the country about sixty miles, and l hate to go alone. IT you'll go with me I'll pay your expenses
 He replied that he didn't mind. IL was all the same to him whether he sat on the station platform or put in the time riding up and down the line. So we started. and l enjoyed myse on the way up thinking of the pleasure that was in store for him. I had often, after seeing the canyon for the first time. thought I'd have been willing 10 give good deal to, have seen the eX- precision on the face of the first white man who ever looked into it-that is. if he had not known previously that it was there. Now l had a chance to try it on Bowler.
 Tt happened that there were only a few people going up with us, and l got my man alone at one end Of the car so that he wouldn't hear anything which might arouse his expectations. The station at the canyon is about a hundred yards from the rim. and as you step from the car you see nothing but the hotel. a few other buildings and the woods When we had stepped off I casually asked Bowler to accompany me down the road that led through the forest. and l conducted him to a point half a mile or more from the hotel, he stumbling along without noticing any of his surroundings at all. As far as he was concerned we might have been in Nova Scotia. All countries looked alike to him.

A MAGAZINE OF TRAVEL.

It will interest periodical readers to know that Walter A. Johnson. formerly or Doubleday, Page & company. has with others. purchased The Four Track News from MT. George H. Dan iels. and beginning with the October issue the new publishers will change the name 10 The Travel Magazine The pages will be enlarged to accom- modate more beautiful pictures to be superbly printed on the finest paper throughout the magazine The new title. 1t is believed, will enable others. besides the several hundred thousands of people who have already been read CTS of The Four Track News. to better understand the publishers intention of making a helpful and interesting mag azlhe, which Is to tell people. in a practical way, when. where. and how 10 go; in short, the magazine is to be more than ever an exponent Of the travel idea
 The number of people who travel in thls country and abroad has been in- creasing rapidly of recent years. We'll to-do people are more and more seek Ing new recreation and changes in en- Nronment winter and summer. Active minded men and women seek oppor- tuhltles for new interests and occupa- tions which travel opens up Alto gether. The Travel Magazine will have a wide and delightful field to fill and as the new publisher has taken an active part in the promotion of Dou- bleday' Page & company's magazines Country Life in America, The Garden Magazine, etc, during the past five years. II is probable that the period lcal will fll it well.

CAMP PAIGN AGAINST
 TYPHOID FEVER
Bisbss Doctors and Ohicials Conduct
 ing a Winning Fight.

Typhoid fever in years gone by has been the great summer scourge of Bis bee. It is pleasing to note that by good management that city, which is pecu- liarly subject to the disease, is getting the upper hand of it and this year con ditions are much better than ever be- fore. The Bisbee Review says:
 It has been noticed in the past couple of days that typhoid fever is gaining a little headway. Up to the present time the number of typhoid cases in the hospitals this year is less than 90 per cent of what there was the same time last year. 4 great part of the de crease Of the fever is due to the inn provements which have been made m the city. When asked concerning the fever situation at the present time one of the prominent physicians of the city said: Tt is true that there are very few cases of typhoid at the present time. and I do not think there is any doubt that this is due to the great nm provements which have been made in the past year. A great many of the cases at the present time are among the residents of the poorer sections of Chihuahua Hill where the people live without much regard for sanitary con ditions. On the section of the hill which I refer to there are practically no Americans. Most of the residents do not pay enough attention to the or dinary safeguards of health and the consequence is that typhoid germs find easy victims. These people have no one to blame but themselves and the sooner they realize it the better It VIII be for the health of the community. There are very few Americans with the fever, and I ascribe this to the fact that when you tell an American that certain way of living is conducive to good health and that another way IS dangerous he will take your advice and do his best to live up to it. l have had occasion to examine the city water and I found that it was very good. The real source of infection at the present time seems to be the fly pest. These flies feed on matter which contains ty- phoid germs and then alight on food that some one is to eat. Necessarily they carry the germs from one place to another. thus spreading the disease.

HUNTING THE BUFFALO.

In all the United States there are not more than 600 buhaloes remaining of all the untold millions that roamed the western plains. Many titled for eigners came here in the late sos and early '7Os to join in the slaughter. One of the great hunters was the Grand Duke Alexis. high admiral of the Rus sian navy and uncle of the czar. His presence here when he was a jolly sailor of some g years created a furore. His success as a buffalo hun ter and woman killer was chronicled in eNtensO. The illustrated weekIies gave him pages of exciting pictures drawn on the spot by our special ar lists" The titled foreigners of today have recently chosen British East Af- rica for a hunting field, and there the sport is indeed regal Rider Haggard discovered il.

Golfers sums up the meaning of the
loss of the trade of these two coun-

revision threatens as follows;
we sold to Germany last year just
about as much as we sold to all South
America. Asia. Africa and Oceanica
combined. We sold to Canada about
as much as to Asia, Africa and Ocean

We are spending hundreds of millions
on the Panama canal and the people
are being importuned to spend other
millions annually to substitute mer-

our exports to Germany, which can he
