SHOOTS TO KILL.
Eari Sparks Resents Blow in the Face
 by Bigger Man.

Dispatches from Prescott, dated Decem Der 31st, announce the killing at that place of Louis Andre, a painter, by Earl Sparks, formerly of this place. after the latter had been brutally assa ulted by Andre. a much larger man. Reports are that public opinion sides with Sparks
 The following story is told in a special to The Arizona Republicon:
 At the result of quarrel over the payment eff bet at faro, Elrl Sparks tonight shot and killed Louis Andre. The affair took place in front of the Voge liquor store iu the Palace hotel block at 10:30 o'clock in a binding storm of failing snow. Sparks at once surrendered himself and was locked up.
 Sparks, who came to Prescott about g month ago from Nogales, has for some time been dealing a game of faro in the Wellington saloon. He is man of small stature, quiet and in offensive. One of his players in the early evening was Andre, a French man. a man about 39 years of age and of powerful physique. He was 8 hangeron around the redlight dis trict. Following an alterc ,tion over the payment of bet Andre had made on a case card Andre struck Sparks blow over the eye, cutting gash several inches ir length. Andre then left the table, cashed his checks at the bar and quit the saloon.
 Sparks was soon relieved as dealer and after washing the wound he had received, he also left the saloon, 1t be- ing generally understood that the af- fair was ended. About half a block from the saloon Sparks met Andre and some further words ensued when Sparks drew his gun and fired. The shot from forty five caliber revolver took effect in the icenter of Andres forehead. passing out the back of the head He lived few moments. Sparks walked back to the Wellington saloon and gave himself up to Frank Burns. deputy sheriff who was in the saloon.
 A corners jury viewed the remains and adjourned to meet Wednesday. It is generally thought here Sparks will be exonerated."

This morning about five o'clock, one of the large plate glass windows in the front of the Sonora. News Company store, was smashed in and jewelry valued at S100 %, stolen. Night Watch man Gildea heard the noise and hurried to the scene; the thief evidentally saw the officer first, and made his escape. Several strangers were later arrested and searched for tho stolen articles but nothing was found on them and they were turned loose again. At the time there was no light in the store, owing to an accident at the electric light plant during the night Including the glass, Manager Van Mourick estimates his loss at $50 CO., The thief was either so rattled or in too great hur- ry to make bigger haul. for the show window contained many hundred dol lars worth of handsome jewelry, beside that stolen.

CONTRASTS or SEWING WOMEN.
Advantages Of tho Factory Girl In ths
Country Over her Sister In the City.

Advantages of tho Factory Girl In ths
Country Over Her Sister In the City.
You may see in any one of perhaps .
hundred shops in this city colorless, sad
eyed, dinghy clad women bending over
sewing machines amid squalid sur
roundings, with no outlook save through
a window opening upon a sordid street.
You may see in at least a score of coun-
try villages 80 miles from any great
city a crowd of neatly clad, happy look
Ing girls and women busted with like
tasks, but amid clean and pleasant sur
roundings, with glimpses of a smiling
landscape through every window.
The New York women, released from
their toll, hasten home to gloomy tene-
ment lodgings and unwholesome fare.
The village girls troop from the factory
to modest but clean and pleasant homes,
where food is fresh and abundant. The
New York sewing machine woman is
an insignificant unit in q great COM
munity. She feels daily the pressure OF
her fellows that are ready to take her
place and her earnings. She hears from.
embittered men and women talk OF the
rights Of labor and the greed Of wealth.
She knows that her earnings would not
keep some Of her rich sisters in cut flow
ers. Whenever she stirs out of her W
dingy quarter, 1t is to see at every step
evidence of the luxury in which some
live and of the contrast between her
lot and theirs.
The village factory girl has hardly
heard that there is a labor problem. Her
5000 or $3.50 ayear, earned at the sewing
machine, clothes her we'll, procures for
her small luxuries and helps to keep the
family above want. She makes little
pleasure trips hither and yon when work
is slack and looks forward with conf
dence to marriage and a home Of her
own, clean, sweet and comfortable. She
never sees among her fellow townsfolk
one who has any essential comfort that
she lacks, and nine women out Of ten
In the village have less to spend on
dress than she has. She never sees a
hungry or ragged person, unless it be
an occasional tramp, and she hardly
grasps the meaning Of. what she now
and then hears about the lives OF the
poor in great cities:
The New York slave to the sewing
machine lives half an hour from the
heart Of the western world and may, II
she will, on any night see Broadway
and its thIongs by electrio light. The
village factory girl believes that she
would be happy to give up all her COM
forts for the others privilege Of seeing
at will, the splendors Of. the great city.
The New York sewing woman would
not, II she could. change places with
the village factory girL-New York

A TuFfman's Tale,

A New Jerseyman told me q good
story the other day ON one Of our fore
most turfmen, a man whose name is
perhaps printed oftener than that OF
any other connected with racing in
America. A good many years ago this
turfman, who was not then deep In the
racing business, arrived in Jersey City
with a trainload Of mustangs from the
plains Of Texas. he knew nothing OF
the laws Of the state nor Of the ordi'
nance Of the city. he knew that he
wanted to sell his mustangs and thought
the best way to do 1t was to sell them
at auction. Being somewhat gifted in
speech, be determined that he would be
his own a%uctioneer. The sale started out
we'll Fair prices were realized. Sud-
denly it was interrupted by policemen,
who demanded q view Of our friends
license.
Z "License2" he said amazed. "What
hoense1 I haven't any license Of any
kind" ...
"Well, you can't sell horses In this
city without a license. You'll have to
come along. No monkey business with
u.s."
OF course he went along, but he was
lucky enough to find at court a friend "a
lawyer, who went bail for him in the
sum Of $50. Then the lawyer said:
"a license costs $3.50. You are under
bonds. Go ahead and finish your sale,
collect your money and skip out Give
me $50 to settle the forfeited bond, and
you are 5000 ahead Of the game"
It was done accordingly. The turf
mar and his friend met in the st. James
hotel lately and laughed yer the joke.

One Spoon Enough.

A Boston man travelling through the
south was obliged to stop over in a
small town where there was but one
hotel, at which the accommodations
were hardly to be called elaborate. When
the colored waiter brought his dinner,
the Boston man found that he was to
have roast beef, stewed tomatoes, corn,
peas, potatoes and coffee, the vegetables
served in the usual stone china canoes.
Presently he said to the waiter, "Dick,
pass the spoons" The waiter rolled his
eyes in genuine amazement. Spoons,

MAY ELECT STEVENS
II Jersey Republicans Split Next
Week the Democrats Believe
That They Will Win.

TRENTON, Jan. 16:-The secret
conference of the republican senators
last night, it was learned today, was a
stormy one. The opponents of Sena-
tor Dryden threatened to bolt if the
caucus was called and finally a conf
promise was reached whereby the
anti-Dryden men agreed to attend a
meeting next Monday if it were not
termed a caucus. The gathering will
be termed a conference.
Senator Alderman of Union stay
ed in the conference last evening and
intends to go to the conference next
Monday afternoon, when the House
members will be admitted. But he
would not stand for calling it a eau
Gus. He declined to state what his
attitude next Monday would be.
CONSERVATION seized the regulars
today when Randolph Perkins, OF
Union, started a petition to kill any
call for u caucus which the senate
might issue. He said he had got
enough signatures to kill any caucus
call. But he stopped when he learn
ed that the senate republicans had
only issued a call for a joint confer
ence. Much pressure is being
brought to bear on the republicans
to show them that a detection OF
eight votes would allow the election
of a democratic senator.
The democrats will caucus next
Monday night. A detection in the
republican ranks next Monday v
ing means the election of a Democrat
ic United States senator, If the demo-
Gratis unite on Edwin A. Stevens, OF
Hoboken, which it 10 altogether prob
able they will, and succeed in get
ting eight of the republicans to go
against Dryden. This would give
them the majority of the members o,
the joint meeting or enough to elect
Dryden's successor.
