THE APRIL MccLURE'S

There is much Tn the April Me Clure's that you do not want to miss. The leading article by George Kibbe Turner is study of the sale of dis sipation. and, the ruin and disaster that it has brought The City of Chicago" is the title, and MT Turner shows the tremendous forces that are working to destroy the social Organi- zation in every American city. His viewpoint is entirely new. Mary Baker G. Eddy, the Story of Her Life and the History of Christian Science continues to pile up its interest arous' ing facts-the various and many wan deriEgs of Mrs Eddy, while she was hazily evolving her Science and teach ing the art of Quimby's healing, are graphically told. Carl SchurZ writes of an almost unknown portion of American History in his "Reminis- censes"-the foreign attitude to the Union during the Civil War, as seen from his residence in Madrid. The episode of his introduction to the Spanish Court is humorously told. Maud Younger's "Diary of an Anna. teur waitress" adds much light to our knowledge of New York's quick lunch restaurants.
 The fiction is noteworthy in the ex treme. Viola Roseboro's "The Mis. taken Man" tells of an engineer. a div idend-hungry railroad president, a bridge that they built, its wreck. and the wreck of their lives. In "The Dice" Percivsi Gibbon shows us Rus sian Prince and student who gamble for their lives in the Russian Reign of Terror. Sister Ann's Lions," by Hoy SdizeT Bingham. is unique and original combination of animal and children stories-yery imaginative. "My Baseball Debut" by L. Constans is good spring reading and droll. In "A Brother at Arms" Grace s. Rich naond introduces to us a Yale sopho more and his solictous married sister in capital comedy dialogue. "The Haste of Joe Savarin," by W. A. Fra ser, describes an up-torrent canoe Journey. an Indian guide with a heavy heart and a need for haste.
 "A Mountain vigil'' by Homer s Woodbridge is a piece of noteworthy and distinctive verse.

WILL FIGHT FUR GROUND AT
 DUN LUIS
Owners of Improvements Will Not Be Ousted They Say Be- cause of Claims Being Made for Their Lands.

Residents of Don Luis, who face at- tempts to oust them from possession of the ground which they have held under mineral application for a num- Der of years, by reason of the recent government survey, which will soon throw this land open for homestead settlement, are determined to stand their ground and take the matter to the highest courts in the lana Ii neces. sary.
 Don Luis was settled some years ago by men who had their families who claimed the land under mineral location. Attempts to patent the ground on their paR, met with stub- born resistance on the part of other settlers who claimed all that had been taken under mineral location, by reas- on of the homestead law.
 Foremost among the original set tiers, who claimed the land by right of mineral discovery, is Charles Hull Opposed to Hull is a faction headed by A. J. Finnerty, who recently sue. ceeded in getting the land office to take cOgniZance of his contentious to the effect that mineral does not exist. The recent survey resulted and now the land is 10 be thrown open, with the understanding, of course, that priority Of settlement gives prefer ence in the allotment of the ground in question.
 Finnerty declares that Hull must go with the advent of the last ruling and the enforceniCnt of the land laws. Hull insists that he came to Don Luis to stay and that he has shown good faith by building the best home in that suburb of Bisbee, and declares that he will endeavor to gain recog- milton under the squatter privilege, which entities him to priority of right, by reason of being on the ground which he claims first. He will com ply with the ruling of the land office and file thereon. Hull was visitor in Bisbee yesterday and the above is the purport of his remarks on the matter.
 Don Luis has been more or less in the public eye for the past four years, when it was boomed as "The City Beautiful" by realty promoters, who laid the town out in lots and well de fined and graded streets. Today it Is mostly streets with here and there an empty relic of the day when em- bryo business men saw a future in the place.
 The Hull place Is half way house between Bisbee and Naco, and is known as a famous refreshment sta tion to travellers between this city and the border.

r 'fTts MOUNTAIN LION ROPED BY COWBOY
Exciting Encounter with Beast Which Was Finally Choked
 to Death.

Roping mountain lions without hay ing a gun of any kind to use after the moGarch of beasts has been caught is rather dangerous business, but John Gilland, whose family resides in Phoe- nix, caught one on the Sierra ranch, thirty miles above Roosevelt last Sat urday with nothing more than his lar fat, a faithful bloodhound and his COW pony.
 Supervisor Steward, who was in Phoenix Tuesday from Mesa attending the session of the board of supervisors, got the story of Gilland's exciting ex- perience from Ross Daly, who arrived in Mesa Monday from the Sierra ranch, which is owned by Jake Lauffer.
 Gilland was riding after cattle some distance from the ranchhouse when his hound scared up a mountain lion. The lion fled, the hound giving chase. Af- ter a run of several hundred yards the hon took refuge in a small tree.
 Gilland followed, and with rocks dis lodged the lion, which made its sec 'ond attempt to escape his pursuers. With a fifty-foot lariat. sGilland threw the moose over the Hons head and brought the beast to sudden stop.
 Up to this time the Hon had shown no desire to fight, but when stopped by the rope he turned back toward Gilland and his horse. But for Gil lands good nck the lion might stLll be at large and Gilland badly chewed up.
 Instead of coming directly toward Gilland, the lion circled, and in doing SO passed around a small tree at full speed, paving the air and growing. Gilland jumped from his horse and fastened his end of the rope to another tree.
 The harder the lion tried to get at Gilland the tighter he drew the moose about his neck, until he choked to death. Gilland's bloodhound was bent on fighting the lion, and before the beast had died the dog had almost been killed by it's sharp claws. Gilland skinned the lion and has the pelt as a trophy. Daly states that the beast was one of the largest ever seen in that part of Arizona. For several months it has been killing calves, of ten attacking a large COW when hun gry. It was sleek and fat when killed.

 New York consumes more canned goods than any other place in the country. The neat packing and at tractive labels are so well adapted to the narrow confines of life in a flat, that it seemed as if a kind Providence had designed them as perfect compile ments to each other The half dis closures which accompanied the agita- ton over the Pure Food Bill in Con gress, induced a sort of TisJIul curi- osity to know what actually went with the label when it left the cannery. but when it was announced some time ago that the National Packers asso- citation proposed to show through the medium of an exposition to open in Chicago on May 1, and come to >Sew York sometime in the fall, anxiety on the subject subsided and sales of can- ned goods resumed their normal pro- portions. The later news that the big Chicago packers have so far evinced little disposition to enter eX- hibits, however, reviyes the suspicion that boneless chicken and other deli cacies may not always be oI .,,. lctly leitimate parentage. Perhaps the shad- -Ow of the big stick behind the White House door falls more heavily here, perhaps the packers of this section of the country have less to conceal; but it is the eneral opinion among them that the exposition will be a good thing and that they will be- there--with the lids off the cans when President Roosevelt presses the button which will open the exhibition.
  cost S14,000,000, wherein to house a national art saloon, banquet hall, and an exhibition hall and luxurious club. l rooms for each of the various state so- cieties having headquarters in New York, is the ambitious scheme pro- pounded by these Sons of Elsewhere for the education and uplifting of the native Gothamite. William J. Word en of Michigan modestly admits that | he is the father of the movement, which was first discussed puDucly and enthusiastically at the recent an-, nual dinner of the Michigan society, at the Hotel Astor. An interstate or | ganiZation is forming to take charge of the movement, which promises, so ! it is said, to ripen into speedy sue :, cess. Congress at it's next session will be asked to appropriate S5.000,- 900 towards the cost of the enterprise. ] and each of the state legislatures will l be asked to contribute S200, 900 to the same end. IC is argued in support of the scheme that most of the people who live in New York, as we'll as a quarter of a million visitors daily, are from other places anyway. and that such monument to the great ness of Elsewhere staring the naughty native sternly in the eye from some prominent corner of Fifth avenue, would do much to teach him how l little he really counts and foster that feelin of proprietorship and superior i ity so inadequately expressed at the annual talk-fests of the Varioss state societies.

LIFE OF OUR COAL FIELDS.

If the rate of consumption of 1905 were maintained indefinitely, without change. our coal would last approxi- mately 1000 years. but if the con stantly increasing rate which has marked the consumption during the past 90 years be maintained, our coal will practically be exhausted within 100 years.
 It does not seem probable that the rate of increased consumption will be affected materially for a great' many years to come, and hence the estimate of 100 years will be nearer the truth than 1000 years. The real life of our coal fields probably will be some where between these extremes, and f. seems probable that it may be about 200 years.

DASHED HIS HEAD AGAINST WALL

SAN FRANCISCO, April 5.-Almost with his last breath, Percy L. Wells. a civil engineer of Waltham. Mass, arose from his death bed at the Grand Central hotel, just as he vas about to sign his will, and dashed his head against the wall with such force that he died few minutes later. Wells arrived here on April 2. in the last stages of consumption and became crazed with grief when the physicians told him that he could not live to reach his home to see his mother and sister before dying.

IMMIGRATION RUSH
 TAXES ELLIS ISLAND
Thousands of immigrants Bound for the West-Many Rus sian Women Appeal for Famine Relief = Making
 MatZoth for Millions.

NEW YORK, April 3.-The re- sources of Immigration Commission Watchorn and his island are taxed to the utmost these days by the spring rush of immigrants. which has started out in a way which leads the aurnori- ties at Ellis Island to expect an un- precedented arrival of aliens at this port during the summer. More than I2,0OO immigrants were landed from eight ships during the two days at the beginning of last week, while reports to the steamship agents in this city are to the effect that every station abroad from which immigrants sail is over-crowded with other thousands of future American citizens. who have booked all third-class accommodations for months ahead Most of these inn migrants come from Italy and south ern European ports, lured by the news of abundant prosperity in the western states, which has reached them in letters from relatives and friends al ready in this country; so the unusual features of the present influx are the few who desire to remain in New York, and the immediate vicinity, and the many who are bound for the west on through tickets. AS consequence the Battery presents no more than its ordinary everyday aspect, wn. / the stations of all the big railroads lead
 ing west from Jersey City are over
 flowing with immigrants and theiI curious experimentation Of baggage.

New York, on account or the fact that the headqua rters Of the Russian Famine Relief committee are located here. is beginning to realize some thing of the horrible condition of 3O,- 100000 starving Russian peasants. Not only hunger, but disease as well, is ravaging their ranks, and threaten ing a death roll of millions. Indeed. so bad have matters become that the
 women of Russia, in letter just re-
 ceived by Samuel J. Barrows, the sec
 Tetary of the committee, have appeal
 ed to the women of America in their
 reat extremity The letter cites the
 conditions in one village as typical o1
 thousands, and says: At present the
 temperature of this village is in the
 neighborhood of 20 degrees below
 zero. Many of the peasants are liv-
 ing in holes dug under ground. They
 are almost naked and they go without
 fuel: for in this region the peasants
 make their fuel from straw, and there
 has been no straw from which fuel
 can be made Their food is sort ot
 bread made from ground acorns or other uneatable, to which has been
 added a little rye meal. Typhus,
 scurvey and blindness resulting rom
 starvation are in all sides striking
 down grown up people and children. This is not a single village, for there are thousands like it, and those thou sands of villages have no hope unless
 aid comes to them from the outside. Seventy-five cents will keep a grown up person a live for a month" Dr. Barrow states that the committee, whose offices are located at 135 Eas 18th street, will be lad to receive any contribution, however small, s-rce il l life is to be saved immediate help l is the chief reuuisite

most disastrous fire in the history OF
Beaufort occurred this afternoon The
loss Is estimated at between $50O.O and
100000. about one-third covered by in
surance. The fire originated in the barn
and stables of F. w. Scheper on Bay
street. and its spread was rapid, as
high wind was blowing. The water sup
ply failed and efforts to fight the flames
were fruitless. They only stopped when
they had nothing more to feed upon in
the direction In which they were blown.
Among the losses were the town hall and
of Scheper was destroyed. as was the Peo-
pies Bank, of which Mr.. Scheper was presi-
dent. The banks funds and papers were
saved. Mr.. Scheper is said to have been
more fully protected by insurance than any
other of the losers. The fire leaped across
Bay street. consuming the hardware and
paint store of N. Christensen & Sons, half
the block behind 1t. Another jump across
a street was made and the law offices Of
Thomas Talbird and a row Of stores he
owned were destroyed.
A number of houses between the city
market and the Methodist Church were de-
strOyed. Flying embers ignited q num-
Der Of residences an eighth Of mile dis
tant, including that of W. E. Sanders and
the stately colonial home of the Talbirds.
On the water front the handsome resi-
dences of ]. w. Wallace and ]. w. Thomas
were consumed. The store of J. N. Crofut
time 1t looked as though the whole town
would be destroyed. Christensen & Sons,
Thomas Talbird and ]. II. Crofut carried
no insurance whatever.

HEARD NEWS AT SEA.
Tourists Returning From Jamaica
Get Wireless Report.

NEW YORK, January 19.-The steamer
Atrato,. which sailed from Kingston, ia
maica last Monday morning. nine hours be-
fore the earthquake devastated the city,
arrived here today with forty-two saloon
passengers most of them returning tour
lists from the West Indies. There were sew
eral Kingston residents also on board the
vessel. and upon their arrival today they
inquired anxiously for relatives left on the
island.
The Atrato's passengers first heard the
news of the disaster last Thursday, when
the wireless operator received a bulletin
reporting earthquake with 400 killed
and 1000 injured
The news caused the greatest excitement
and efforts were made to get further de-
tails by the wireless system. There was no
more news until Friday, however, when
further details of the disaster were received
from one of the coast wireless stations.
