Think 1t Over.

A preacher came at newspaper man in this way: "You editors do not the tell truth. If you did you could not live; your newspapers would be failure" The editor re- piled: You are right, and the minister who will at all times and under all circumstances tell the whole truth about his mem- bers, alive or dead, will not occupy his pulpit more than one Sunday, and then he will find 1t necessary to leave town in hurry" The press and pulpit go hand in hand with whitewash brushes and pleas ant words, magnifying little virtues into big ones. The pulpit, the pen and gravestone are the great saint making truimvirate. And the great minister went away looking very thoughtful while the editor turned to his work and told of the unsur- passing beauty of the bride, while in fact she was as homely as a mud fence.

Ad,ons Money

The honey industry is ooe of tbe best industries of the Yuma valley, and every year is becom- ing greater in the territory west of town. Karr & Kester have gone into the business on e large scale and on Wednesday shipped q car. load of strained honey to Big Springs, Texas, and will ship q second car little latter. Each car contains fifteen tons of honey. Other ranchers in the valley who have gone into the business on a more or less extensive scale are George M. Thurman, w. M. Scott, Roy Jacobs, Calvin George, William Crowder, $. w. Knouff and J. J. Jones. The bees do especially well in the valley and the honey is of delightful flavor. There is a max imum reward for minimum amount of labor in the industry and farmers can easily carry on a successful honey business in con- junction with their farming.-Yu- ma Sun:

In Michosesn.

The following will interest read srs of TIE OASIS as MT. Snodgrass resided in Nogales at one time, and ia will known in Sonora. The item is from the Mexican Herald of the l4th inst.
 A very important timber deal has just been consumated in More lia whereby George w. Bryant, the we'll known mining man of Guana- iuato comes into possession, by actual purchase, of an extensive and valuable forest of oak and pine situated in the district of Morelia, in the Terreria y Yerba Buena mountains.
 Mr. Bryant was represented by Harvey $. Leach of Guanajuato, the local end of the deal being ar ranged by Phil. c. Snodgrass, who will be local manager of the mills and timber lands. The larger por- tion of the output of the sawmills will be shipped to Guanajuato to be used in the construction of the extensive mills owned and oper- ated by the Bryant interests in that camp.
 The price paid for the lands has not been made public but it is understood that is was cash trans action. Mir. Snodgrass is now in possession of the properties.
 Another item from the same paper reads as follows:
 Messrs. Harvey s. Leach, and Phil c. Snodgrass have purchased by option from Miguel Gojon the copper mine known as "Quince Pa sos" situated in the district of Mo- relia, Mich. The purchasers also denounced twenty. five pertenencias adjoining this same mine.

Ba dger Fighting.

MT. Theodore Haffner, the ge- nial man at the Ford, received a letter this morning from Mir. George w. Edgar, the we'll known travelling man, that Globe sports were infringing on his badger fight patents, advising Haffner to con- suit lawyer and bring an action against the Globe sports. Edgar states that bulldog and badger fight was pulled off in Globe We'd lesday night. The referee called the bout draw, but Edgar ex- presses an opinion that the badger was entitled to the verdict on points. Haffner has not yet de- clded what to do, and will prob ably call into conference later in the day several of the heaviest stockholders in the Badger Fight association.-Phe Democrat.

INCREDIBLE ESTIMATE
Of COMETS VELOCITY

Editor Advertiser: The velocity of
$4,000 miles per second attributed by
the newspapers to the present comet
seems to a scientific friend of mine
perfectly incredible.
He suggests "a miles per second as
altogether more probable. The other
figure would take the comet completely
out of sight in the course of day.
This figure is in nearer accordance
with the apparent movement of the
comet considering its relation to the
distance from the sun.
The earth moves about 10 miles in
a second, the rate depending upon the
solar gravitation. The comet would
need to be much nearer to the sun to
acquire a greater velocity.
Respectfully yours,

UNDER NEW
MANAGEMENT

The famous Red Front, at the corner
of Nuuanu avenue and Queen street,
is to come under new management on
September 1, when the Rosenberg
Bros, who conduct the Rosenberg bot
Ting business on Queen street and the
Globe clothing house on Hotel street,
will assume the management.
In the past the Red Front estab-
lishment has catered only to the trade
of the deep water sailor, and as side
issue men were, shipped and supplied
with outfits. From this time on the
stock will be for all classes, and the
gentleman of fashion may be supplied
with stylish garments that will fit him
to appear anywhere. The Rosenberg
Brothers will have nothing to do with
shipping men on the vessels which
come short of crews or which may
lose some OF their complement; that is
left to the management of the Sailors
Home or the U. S. Shipping Commits
sioner. District Attorney Brsckons
has been requested to furnish the Red
Front with a copy of the laws relating
to supplying sailors with goods on al
lotment notes and the Rosenberg
Bros. intend to follow that law to the
letter, and in doing so the sailor who
deals there will be assured OF fair
treatment and good return for the
amount of his allotment note. In other
words, he will not exchange a valua-
BILE consideration for gold brick
which he may find in his "ditty'' bag
when he gets beyond the three-nlile
limit.
The quality of the goods handled by
the new management is unquestioned.
AS has been stated, they have been
bought to sell to all classes, and are,
consequently, superior in material and
workmanship to the average ready-to-
wear clothing. The reputation of the
men who will conduct the Red Front
in the future is we'll known; they have
been here for years and enjoy the con-
ffdence of the community. They pro-
pose to give Jack ashore a square
deal. Included in the stock will be
underwear, shirts, collars, cuffs, neck
ties. boots and shoes, rs well as cloth
ing.
