A PULLING PROBLEM
FOR FRENCH MINISTER'S
The Case of an Escaped Convict Who
Followed Her Liberated Husband
Back to France.

Paris, Oct. S.-A woman convict has
set three French ministers by the ears.
This woman. Valentine Naudet. was
sent TO the penal settlement of Gui-
ana in 1891. There she married lib
Grated convict who had remained on
the settlement, named Martin. Her
husband, however, returned to France
and Nine Martin, who was very much
attached to him, ran the great risk of
escaping and accompanying him home.
They took up their residence in Par
is and all went well for three years
until last July, when the woman was
recognized by a detective and arrest
ed. Since then she has been in St
LaZare prison awaiting the decision of
three MINISTRIES. The ministry of
justice claims that she should be sent
back to Guiana; the ministry of the
colonies refuses to send her thither,
because a new law has been passed
since she was sentenced, abolishing
the transportation of women; and the
ministry of the interior claims that
they should be rid of the woman's
presence, as she was an undesirable.
The case has now been finally de-
cided, for the minister OF justice has
recognized that the law suppressing
the transportation of females should
in the case of Martin be made retro
spective. The woman has therefore
been liberated from prison, but she
was told at once that she is not al
lowed to stay in Paris in view of the
conviction against her. so that the
sacrifice she made to follow her hus-
band seems to be unavailing.

A SHIf TING ABOUT
IN RAILROAD CIRCLES
Mr.. Lands Gone to Globe as General
Agent FOR The G. v. & NJ. r. r.

L. II. Lands and wife left last night
for Globe, where Mr.. Lands has been
made the general agent for the ella
Valley and Northern Railroad. His
successor as general agent with the
Southern Pacific company in this city.
will be A. r. Cater. who for the past
four months, has been the city passen-
ger and ticket agent. Though no Of
fetal announcement has been made, it
Is almost certain that F. J. Treatha-
way, who has been his assistant, will
be promoted to the position of city
passenger and ticket agent
Mr.. lands has been connected with
the railroad business in this place for
the past seven years, about five years
with the Santa Fe and the remainder
of the time with the Southern Pacific
company. He has been a very popular
official and one who made friends
rapidly He is also designated as a
hustler and progressive in his ideas.
He is possessed of a disposition and
nature that enable him TO smooth over
the little irritating events which arise
in railroad life and has made the
roads patrons his friends and his
friends patrons. Success in his new
position is predicted for Mr.. Lands.
Mr. and Mrs. Lands have been popu-
lar in the best social circles of the
city and many regrets are expressed
with their leaving.
Mr.. Cater wins his promotion
through seventeen years of railroad
experience, and his ability to take
care of the responsibilities placed up
on him. Mr.. Cater was formerly with
the Northern Pacific, afterwards with
the Southern, as chief clerk TO District
Agent Humphreys at Tucson. Though
he has been a resident of this city but
a short time, he has made many
friends and will make the company a
popular official in his new capacity.
Mr.. Treathaway was formerly city
passenger and ticket agent at Tucson
with the Southern Pacific and came
here about the same time as Mr. CAT
ter to assume his duties. He was five
years with the company at Tucson,
and is well enough satisfied with
Phoenix to remain here forever. He
is one of the base ball fans, but has
not allowed it to be noised about a
great deal though he has transferred
his affections by this time from Tue
son to the Phoenix Browns.

LIEUTENANT HANGED
He Murdered His Commanding Officer
Because His Pay Was in Arrears.

Constantinople, Oct. S.-The shock
ing state of graft and incompetence in
the Turkish army administration is
strikingly shown by the case of Lie
tenant Hussein Effendi, VINO shot his
commanding officer Hanoi Pasha,
dead because he could no. get his ar
rears of pay. Hussein has been hang
ed for the murder, but popular SYM
pathy is with him and with his mother
and family, who have been left quite
destitute.
Hamdi Pasha was military COM
mandant at Trebizond, where Hussein
was a second lieutenant of the gar
rison. The lieutenant had to support
himself, his mother and her three
young children on his meager pay and
more meagre pension which his
mother drew as widow of a major.
When Hussein was promoted to a
post in another district he found him
self without money for travelling ex-
penses, as his pay was seven months
in arrear, and the pension twenty sew
en- months. After applying in vain to
the governor for at least a portion of
his arrears he went to Hamdi Pasha,
who not only refused him any money,
but cursed and abused him. If you
want money" he roared, "go and beg
for it,
In despair Hussein took the Pasha's
advice and Disgusting himself as a
beggar sat at the door of the mosque
soliciting aims. The governor, as he
came out from worship, was going to
give something to the 'beggar'' when
Hamdi came I'D and recognized Hus-
sein through his disguise.
The brutal Pasha again showered
abuse upon the lieutenant. who losing
all control of himself. drew his re-
yolver and fired four bullets into
him, the wounds proving fatal in a
short time.

THE Willy JAPANESE
FIND THEIR WAY IN
Two of Them in Charge of an lmmi-
grafton Inspector Were Finding Their
Way Out.

immigration Inspector Frank NJ.
Searle arrived in town yesterday with
a couple of japanese who We're cap
tured in the northern part of the ter
ritory. charged with being unlawfully
in the country. He is taking them to
Tucson for deportation. They made
their way into the country by the way
of Naco, and were captured by Mr..
Searles at Seligman. They escaped
from him soon after and one of them
was recaptured a few days after at
blackberry and the other at Needles.
Since then they have been given little
opportunity to get away.
Mr.. Searles said that there was a
suspicion in the immigration service
that there are japanese in Phoenix
who have no business in the country,
and he spent 4 part Of yesterday in
trying TO locate them, but none were
found.
II is not known how they got into
the country from the south, that is. it
is not known precisely where they got
in. The ports at Naco, Nogales, FL
Paso and most of the mountain passes
are carefully watched, but they man
age somehow to evade attempts at ex-
clusion.
There is an open stretch of country
along the line south of the city which
is difficult to watch along its whole
length through the Ajo country TO the

FOREIGN CURRENCY.
One Way Of Keeping Accounts in
Alien Coinage.


A house which does large foreign bust
ness naturally makes out it's bills and
statements and receives it's remittances
in the currency of the customers coun-
try; yet its own books usually are and
should be kept in the denomination of
its own currency.
The plan described here will eliminate
the necessity Of extending each bill, state
ment and remittance. from one currency
unto the other, and will thus avoid the
waste and errors which come from too
frequent figuring. I.
The cash book Is ruled with multiple
columns, one for the native currency
and one for each of the foreign cur
rencies. This ruling is made to conform
to any denomination and for different
currency. When an entry is made 1t Is
entered in the currency denomination
of the check or draft. All entries for
the same currency will therefore be In
the same column. At the close Of the
day each OF the columns Is totaled. Then
the total footing of each column is fig
ured into the denomination Of the native
currency.
The ,footings may then be carried for
ward, If desired, to a grand total column,
giving the amount of the entire business
of the day.
By the use of this plan 1t is possible
to show in one book not only the receipts

more capital and, in short, he would not
entertain it.
1t seems that Palmer had contracted
with this Sterrett concern, the foremost

wants of cases at ~ cents for period of
eighteen months This was considered a
fair market price-in fact, 1t was Sterrett' s

learned that he had taken the contract
at cents less than what Rambo & Son
had been paying. and he appeared to have

Invention of the Spinning Wheel.

rTOul Tue t1OusektepeT.
The invention of the art of spinning was
ascribed by the ancents to Minerva, the
goddess of wisdom. The date, 1900 B. c.,
is given as that of the beginning of the
art in Greece, under the direction of the
King of Arcadia, but pictured inscriptions
on Egyptians monuments show that the
use Of the spindle and distaff was known
in that country much earlier. The first
distaff was simply stick, around which
the fiber to be spun was loosely coiled,
held in the left hand; the spindle was a
sort of top set in motion by a twirl OF
the hand, the fiber passing between the
finger and thumb of the right hand. This
invention was improved upon in the
course of time by placing the spindle in
a frame and making it revolve by me-
chanical action of the hand or foot in
connection with wheel or treadle-thus
giving the true spinning wheel. The first
recorded use of this was in the early
years of the sixteenth century, but it
was probably made and used long before
this. The first spinning jenny, a machine
working eight spindles, was invented in

he began to pass off on them an inferior

Palmer made up specifications of the

box manufacturers. To his surprise, in
ten days he had received but four replies
to his inquiries; of these. two stated that
they were not N position to make a bid

Their replies in the course of the next
fey days he began to investigate. He

he had "a ked quotations and they at first
seemed to remember absolutely nothing
of ever having been asked for quotations.
When he insisted, however, they We're
finally able TO locate his letter but would
not give him anything definite-in fact,
they acted queerly. When he received
like treatment from three or four others
he got suspicious. and before he went
much further ne realized just what he
had TO contend with:
The box makers had banded together
Ito maintain prices and they were
standing back Of Sterrett & Co. in their
unreasonable demands.
The matter was becoming SO serious
that the "old man" was now glad to
listen TO what kienZel had to propose.
Why couldn't Rambo & Son make their
own cases? a little figuring showed that
they could, with a saving of 4 cents on
each case.
The necessary authority to put the new
plan through was PROMPTLY given by the
directors. Rambo & Son managed to
worry along another month. and when
the box plant was put in operation their
best hopes were realized.
Sterrett & Co. threatened suit for a
breach of contract. Palmer however,
let them know by few pretty broad
hints just what he had learned as to
the boxmaking situation in that town,
and they were soon content to keep quiet
The box combine realized that 1t was
too far gone. 1t had choked off one of
