tives, and still more recently, Mrs. Cummings, the wife of the New York newspaper man, donated one of the finest libraries in the world to the care of the home, for the occupancy of which an addition known as the Cummings library building will be erected at a cost of $40,000
 Still many of the consumptives pre- fer to come to Arizona rather than to go to Colorado Springs, and when here they are taken care of by the local union. They can be given better care and the cost of their support can be materially reduced if suitable home can be made for them in the territory.
 Such home may be counted on to cost somewhere between thirty and fifty thousand dollars. The local union is not certain of gaining its object, but Delegate Ball will use every means in his power to that end.
 In ease home is granted to Ari- zona, there will undoubtedly be sharp competition between the larger cities of the territory to secure its location. A large number of the printers of Phoenix were at the station last night to give Delegate Ball good sendoff.

LITTLE FELLOWS
 LOOK F0R PEACE
Central American Republics Afraid to Take Initiative in
 Peace Movement
By Associated Press.

Dy aSSotldltu ITcsS.
 WASHINGTON, August s.-Most of the representatives of the Central Amer jean republics who remain in Washing ton called upon acting Secretary of State Bacon today to talk individually with him about the project for gen eral convention of delegates from their countries to Washington to cndeavor to reach an agreement to result in perma- nent peace in that quarter of the world. With all parties willing to enter upon such 8 conference, the difficulty appears to lie in the unwiliingness of any to take the initiative on account of per sonal pride.
 Each of the little republics thinks that 1t has a grievance against its neighbor and in the absence of an apol- ogy, as a condition precedent to an in- ternational gathering, would have the other party make the first advances. The state department supported in prin- ciple by the Mexican government is desirous of furthering this conference, but is stopped from itself formally proposing a meeting by fear that its motives might be misunderstood and it be suspected of selfish designs and unwarranted intervention.

TWO DAYS ENOUGH
 F0R NEW COUPLE
Climatic Expert Gives Figures Showing that Inland Sea Does Not Cause More Rain-Normal Rainfall in Ari- zona Is Almost Twelve Inches.

O. T. Roseberry, section foreman of the $. F. P, & P. at Beardsley, began last Thursday acting on impulses and he never got through until Sunday night, says a Phoenix paper.
 Roseberry wearied of his surround ings, or rather of the style of Mexican cookery which had prevailed in the camp at Beardsley, and on Thursday morning he came to Phoenix with the purpose of getting housekeeper who could cook United States, like his mother used to cook.
 He made diligent inquiry and finally he was directed to woman who it was thought might accept the position of housekeeper. He called on her, but she declined the position chiefly on ac- count of the loneliness surrounding it since there were no other American wo- men in the camp.
 Then another impulse laid hold of Roseberry. He asked the woman if the position of wife to him would be more alluring and less lonely than that of housekeeper.
 That was something more like it; as his wife she would be willing to share his fortunes, however remote from so. ciety they might lead him. It was at once arranged that trip should be taken to Prescott, where the ceremony should be performed.
 The marriage was solemnized on Fri day night and on the following day MT. and Mrs. Roseberry returned to Phoe- nix. On Sunday night they agreed to separate. The agreement was mutual and was entered into without heart burnings, since their acquaintance had not been long enough to enable strong attachment to spring up.
 Roseberry, speaking of the matter, said his wife was good woman, but they had made the discovery that they were not congenial. 1t takes, he said, some people great many wasted years to make that important discovery, and he believed that he and his wife are subjects for eongratulation on having made it so early. They can both keep up their work where they left off last Tuesday morning to indulge in love $ brief dream, and regard the whole af fair as summer vacation.
 Roseberry says he still wants a house keeper for his section camp He is deterred both by his inclination and circumstances from accepting a wife now as an alternative.
 Roseberry is known over the coast as "Old Rustler," name he acquired in the newspaper world years ago when he was correspondent for the St. Louis Republic. He was afterward en- gagged in journalism in Hamilton county, Kansas, where he risked all his sub stance in county seat and lost.
 He then drifted into railroading and of his journalistic career retained only his pen name. His performances since last Thursday prove that he is still worthy of it, for it must be admitted that he is something of an "Old Rus tier" yet.

Vardaman was as frantic in his cham pionship of Bryan as he was in other directions. The senator elect from Mis- sissippi will wield great influence in the next Democratic national conven- tion, not only because of his new posi- tion, but through his acquaintance with southern leaders. His word may deter mine the character of the platform and it may even decide the fate of Mir. Bryan. In this respect, as well as in respect to the Democratic attitude in the senate, Democrats throughout the country win rejoice that Mississippi has chosen the way of conservatism and old-fashioned Democracy.

A CENTURY AGO
Even in Those Days They Had Bitter
 Mature -faker" Controversies

It must not be supposed that Una
 ture-faker" controversies are solely a
 product of our present-day civilization While President Roosevelt is criticis ing Dr. Long for his statement that
 wolves kill caribou by biting through
 their chests to their hearts, and loom
 John' Burroughs and other naturalists
 are attacking Dr. Long and his school
 of nature writers for their habit of at
 tributing reason to animals, it is inter
 esting to recall that the present contro-
 versy had a parallel in the life of a
 great English naturalist who four
 ished in the first half of the last cen tury. This was Charles Waterton, a wealthy gentleman of Wakefield, Eng land. That his name is less known than that of Gilbert White of Seiborne is due chiefly to the fact that he had not the famous parson s gift of style; but his observations covered far wider field than his predecessor for he was an indefatigable globe trotter His stories of his foreign experiences with animals were fereely attacked by his stay-at-bome contemporaries, and he in
 turn had little patience with those whose observation-or lack of it-- caused them to differ with him on points of natural history.
 One of his bitterest controversies was with our own Audubon, whom he called "a quack," 7" "an arrogant fool, and "an ornithological imposter," because in one of his plates showing a rattle snake attacking moeking bird s nest, the American ornithologist made the snakes eyes start from their sockets, and pictured it's poison fangs turned the wrong way. Cuvier, he said, "al- though most honest gentleman, knew no more about the real habits of most birds than I did about my grandmoth- CT" Critieising another writer s Gleanings in Natural History" he said: "He ought to be whipped. Nothing can be more false nor absurd than his statement that horses in hot countries bleed each other Yet he himself recorded an experience in South America that is sufficiently hard to believe. 1t is that he seized ten foot boa constructor by the throat and carried it home with the rest of the snake coiled around his body. On an other occasion, having hooked an alli- gator more than ten feet in length, he jumped astride of it when his Indian guides pulled it out of the water, and twisted it's forelegs over its back
 He strove to educate the popular mind to the appreciation of the useful ness of owls and some hawks-a know ledge which has not made much pro- gross, even up to the present time, when it is necessary for our department of agriculture to issue pamphlets warning farmers not to kill these birds because they feed chiefly upon mice and other vermin, instead of continually preying upon birds and poultry, as they are pop ularly reputed to do. In furtherance of his project of protecting these birds, he established asylums for them in the park of his estate, and created there preserve for all harmless birds, mak- ing it rule that a gun must never be fired on his land.-Leslie' Weekly.

FOR PRINTERS HOME
Arizona Delegate to Typographical Con
 vention Will Boost for Arizona

The members of the International Typographical union in Phoenix are in hopes of seeing a branch of the Print CTS Home located somewhere in Ari zona within year or so. The matter will be brought up at the convention of the union which will be held next week in Hot Springs, Ark, says the Democrat.
 J. A. Ball, the corresponding seere tary of the local union and its delegate to the convention, left last night for Texarkana, Texas, where he will spend one day at home and expects to arrive in Hot Springs on Saturday evening in time for the grand reception, which is to be given the delegates.
 Ball s principal purpose in the con vention will be to try to have branch home situated somewhere in Arizona, where sick and eonsumptive members of the union may be cared for.
 The International Typographical union has a home for aged and sick members at Colorado Springs, Colo, which originally cost about $SO,OOO, but additions have been made until the value of the property there reaches ap- proximately quarter of million dol lars.
 The first building erected was the home for aged printers. Later sep arate building was added for consump-

WILLIAMS WINS

The official canvass of the vote foI senator in Mississippi has resulted in the election of John Sharpe Williams over Governor Vardaman and through. out the country, in Republican as well as Democratic papers, the choice of Mississippi is commended Regarding the election of Congressman Williams the Washington Post in recent edi- torial says:
 The people of Mississippi have de. eided that John Sharpe Williams shall be transferred from the house to the senate and that James K. Vardaman shall not come to Washington to make the preposterous demand that the four teenth and fifteenth amendments shall be repealed. From the outside view point, the voters of Mississippi have done well. They have had the good sense to stick to tried legislator and to send him to Washington on a more important errand. In doing this they have been forced to abandon the pleas ing idea of furnishing to the nation a fresh and striking character who might accomplish wonders in winning notori- ety for himself and his state. It is diff feult for some persons to refrain from furnishing unique entertainment to their neighbors and reaping consequent publicity. The voters of Mississippi have restrained themselves with re- markable conservatism In doing so they may perhaps be eonsoled by the thought that they have convinced the rest of the country that vardaman has not truly represented the sentiments of Mississippi in his grotesque forays into the realms of bombast and unwritten law The country may be doing varda- man great injustice when it regards nm as a freak, but it's judgment was made up largely with Vardaman's s as. sistance. There will be no desire to study Vardaman s peeuliariaies any longer, now that it is settled that he is not to be foisted upon the national stage.
 The outcome of the Mississippi con test IS somewhat significant in it's re- lation to the national Democratic situa- tion. It verifes to some extent tho opinions of Senator Bacon and other southerners who believe that conserva. tlsm and not radiealism should rule the party and select its nominee for presi- dent. Mir. Williams is not an entbusi. astic Bryan supporter, while Governor
