ALCOHOL WAS ALL RIGHT
But TOO MUCH OF IT
The Sequel of the Recent Death Of
Four Hoboes at Maricopa.

Perry Williams of Maricopa. who
whatever mystery there had been
about the death of the men who died
there lately. supposedly of drinking
wood alcohol, had been solved. He
said II had been ascertained that the
fluid was grain alcohol. not at all poi
sonOus in moderate quantities In
this case IL had been drunk in very
immoderate quantities. The four men
who died had stolen a five gallon can
from a car and had drunk practically
all of IL themselves. They had Of
fered drinks to several persons who
happened along but they did not have
a taste for raw alcohol and did not
drink enough OF II to do them any
harm.
couple of the men lived long
enough to tell their names and former
ipostoffice addresses, as wei as those
of the two who We're already dead.
Mr.. Williams wrote to the relatives

! in others but he has received no re-
ply
| II was reported at the time that the
men were miners who had been thrown
out Of work by the closing of the
mines at Cananea- Mr. Williams is of
the opinion. however. that the men
were hoboes. One OF them, on whom
n union card was found, had probably
been a miner but had lapsed.

house which deals in goods of that

This incident, said Mr.. Williams.
ought to go a long way toward the
solution of the hobo problem. II al
cohol We're left where it is easily ac-
cessible it would tighten the work of
the humanitarians who waste a great
deal Of time in discussing the future
OF the tramp. In this case or rather
in these cases. Mr.. Williams as JUS
tice, Of the peace and acting coroner
made forty dollars in fifteen minutes.
Maricopa has always been more or
less of a rendezvous for hoboes but
the number of them has been greatly
increased there lately. Most of them
represent that they are victims of the
financial furry. though in all prob
ability their finances are in much the
same shape that they have always
been and always wifi be.

by mistake in selecting the

often be remedied where there
are several schools under one
management, or the evil results
largely mi,igated by the help a
good superintendent can give.
1t is thought that the proposed
district would have enough pupils
to make it a district of the first
class. This would make neces-
sary FIVE directors in place of three
and if these were chosen, as they
should be, from different quarters
of the district we see no reason

SCHOOL COLUMN.

lutIiOCI VI puPiiS necessarily out
with the measles.
So many of the high school
pupils attended the races at
Hotchkiss Thursday that it was
thought best to dismiss the high
school department for the day.
This was done with the under
standing that all pupils be back
in school on Friday. 1t often
happens that pupils who remain
out one day get home SO late and
are so tired out that they prac-
tically lose two days. We think
that pupils should have an oc-
casional holiday but these holi
days should interfere as little as
possible with the work of the
school. Several members of the
high school have been practicing
faithfully for the field meet at
Hotchkiss.
The seventh grade pupils have
done some particularly good map
drawing this week. Drop in and
see it.
Reviews are in progress all
through the upper grades. The
splendid attendance of this year
will soon show results in the pro-
motion of an unusually large per-
centage of the pupils. The school
at aunlta is increasing in size
owing to the influx of new peo-
pie who expect to find work in
the Jsunita coal mine
Our school enjoyed a visit from
County Superintendent, Emma G
Myers last week Miss Myers
makes the statement that the
attendance and punctuality of the
i'aonia school is not only the
best in Delta county but among
the best in the state She was
also particularly pleased with the
large number of pupils who aIe

plete the grade and be prepared
to enter high school.
The writer was pleased to have
the opportunity to visit the Stew
ar, mesa school last week. Our
high school receives by far its
greatest number of non resident
pupils from the Stewart mesa dis
trict and they have been excellent
students /, Is a strong evidence
of an intelligent community when
a large number OF its young peo-
pie are attending higher schools
Ii occurs to the writer that a con
solidation OF district No. 3. which
now includes Paonia. Bethlehem
and Jaunita. with Stewart mesa
and Dry Gulch would work in
jury to no one and great benefit
to many. 1t would not materially
increase the tax rate in any part
of the new district. 1t would give
the two outside schools the bene-
fit of the high school which they
do not now have except as they
pay tuition for it. 1t would make
possible the building up in this
end of the county one of the
strongest high schools in the
state. Perhaps the strongest ar
gument in favor of such consol-
idation is the increased efficiency
due to good supervision. Under
present conditions in country dis
tricts there is no supervision that
really affects the character of the
work done. II the outlying
schools of such a district were

mankind"
Eager to assist in securing the fresdom OF
the colonies, yet at the same time to conduct
an honorable treaty on the part Of England,
Oswald accepted the commission But the
Ministers became suspicious of him, and when
complaint was made that he was yielding ey
erything, they sent Henry Strachy to watch
him, which was unnecessary, for Oswald was
strictly honest.
Alleyne Fitzherbert the British Minister, at
Paris, afterward joined Oswald and Stracny,
and the three together finally arranged terms
with Franklin, Jay, Adams and Laurens;
Richard Oswald was a man of great learn
ing and varied accomplishments. de .I wa
rot permitted to live to see the wonderful
growth of the colonies, for he died IN lfo4, q
few months after singing the treaty of peace,
the greatest document to which he ever put
his name.
He had kinsman, Eleazsr Oswald, who
came to this country the moment he saw the
war-cloud rising, and was among the first to
enlist in the American army
He served at Ticonderoga, led the forlorn
hope at Quebec, and won new renown at
Monmouth After the war he went to France,
where he commanded regiment during the
Reign of Terror but soon came back to the
land of his adoption and died on our shoresse
David Hartley was another Englishman who
was appointed to sign the treaty on behalf OF
Great Britain.
He was famous politician, was educated
at Oxford and became a Member of Parha-
ment: He was staunch friend of Franklin's s,
and from the first opposed the war with the
colonies believing that they had right to
separate from the mother country, if it was to
their advantage SO to do. He was scientific in
his attainments, perfected many inventions,
and died at Bath. 1913.
But the greatest peaeemaker who had a
hand in the treaty of 1888 was Charles Gra-
vier Vergennes, Prime Minister to Louis XVI
While his name is not appended to the
treaty, he had much 10 do in bringing il
about.
Franklin and Jay went to him for secret
counsel, for he had written the articles that

famous manifesto of the King, in which Louis
justified his action in recognizing the socailed
rebels Of America
There is no doubt that vergennes did much

toward terminating the Revolution, for he
permitted arms and funds to go to the. colo;
nies long before the treaty was signed, his
own son carrying on the secret correspond
enee.
With the history of Franklin and Adams
all are familiar. Their names, with those OF
Jay and Laurens appear at the foot of the
treaty which gave us Independence.
Henry Laurens had most romantic his
tory He was of Huguenot descent. He was
among the first to espouse the cause of the
colonies and held various provincial Offices
until 1873, when he was appointed minister
to. Holland. On his way the vessel was cap
tured by an English cruiser, and, instead of
going to his post of duty, LAurens was taken
to London and thrown into the Tower Here
he was denied pens and ink, and was not per-
mitted to hold converse with his friends.
The British ministry wanted to turn him
from his allegiance to the colonies, and he
was repeatedly offered his liberty if he would
serve the purposes of the king. These offers
he Indignantly rejected. and seeing that he
was not to be corrupted, Richard Oswald
was permitted to bail him out, and Shelburne
requested him to proceed to Paris and take

lish to give Laurens writing materials during
his confinement IN the Tower, he obtained a
pencil, and not only communicated with his
outside friends, but actually corresponded
with American newspapers.
health, and mourning a brilliant son, who
was killed in the patriot army during the
Revolution, he died in Charleston, South Car
olina, the city of his birth, in 1892. .
Huguenot blood had great ideal to do with
our first treaty of peace, for John Jay, an
other signer Of it, was, like Laurens, Of HUI
guenot descent.
He was writer of famous documents and
just the man to be associated with Franklin
and Adams in our negotiations with Great
Britain. Thomas Jefferson pronounced jays
which he wrote in 1776, "the production Ger.

Jay was shrewd diplomat. The first
draft of the treaty retained the word Colo

the COLONIES" had now>become the 4United
States" and that the treaty should recognize
them as such. He carried his point, and the
treaty was. changed accordingly.
