YOUNG FUGIT|VEs
 TAKEN ID DOUGLAS
Howard Jordan and Walter Saunder Returned to Home
 City to Face Charges,

Apparently uudisturbed by the thought that they were under arrest on a felony charge, and were being taken back to face the consequences of their offense, Howard Jordan, aged l5 years, and Walter Saunders, aged If. boarded the train for Douglas last evening in the custody of Constable Shropshire, and will today be given hearing on the charges preferred against them. The only matter which seemed to worry the boys was the fact that they were to be punished.
 As they We're standing in front of the local depot in charge of the off cer, while awaiting for the train, Saunders, the younger of the two, who are alleged to have robbed a house near Douglas on Sunday and escaped to Bisbee, did not display the slightest sign of feeling, and calmly looked over a number of people who were curious to get a iCok at the young alleged criminals.
 Jordan was in a nasty humor, and whenever addressed by anyone int variably first expectorating and then replying in a surly tone. using vulgar and profane expressions. Whea asked questions he would reply quick ly, but always in the same manner and using the same kind of language. He is the brighter of the two, and if they are guilty of the offense charged is undoubtedly the one who planned the affair."
 Although be accepts the situation with an air of indifference, and Judg- ing from his demeanor, will one day develop into a professional criminal, unless subjected to good influences within the next couple of years, it can be plainly seen that Howard Jordan. Is years of age, bright and intelligent. is not entirely to blame for the fact that he is charged with a criminal offense. He seems to be living ex- ample of the truth of the old axiom, Spare the rod and spoil the child"

ANDERSON GROUP SHOWING UP
 FAVORABLY
Superintendent McMuIIen Ar
 nives in City, Bringing With Him Specimen of Oxide Ore
 Found in Shaft.

Judging from reports which have been received in the city for some time past. and the most recent report of Superintendent McMullen, the An derson-Apache property, located a few miles from Hachita, New Mexico has already proved itself to be very rich. and its field of possibilities has been greatly widened.
 O. E. McMullen, superintendent of the Anderson-Apache, arrived in the city yesterday morning from Hachita. Tor the purpose of comforting with the local officers of the company in regard to some plans for the development of the property, which have already been formulated, but not finally decided up- on. He brought with him specimen of oxide ore, taken from the bottom of the shaft. which will assay better than per cent copper.
 When asked for a statement in re- gard to the property he said:
 Within the last couple of days the bottom of the shaft at a depth of 265 feet broke into spar, and about one quarter of 1t showed in the oxide ore, a specimen of which I brought with me. It is our hope that the find will widen as we go deeper, but of course that is a matter which can not be determined until we get down further, and find out
 Tt is our intention to sink the shaft to the 300 mark, and there cut a sta tion. from which we will drive drift in southerly direction for the pur- pose of encountering the extention of the ore body which has been worked in a desultoTy way by inclfnes. As soon as we get into this ore body we will commence stoping. and expect to be shipping regularly to the smelters at Douglas not later than January l.
 At the present time we have on the dump about s50,o00 worth of low grade ore, which we do not intend ship ping until connection with the rail road. six miles distant. Is established.
 We are at the present time working about twenty-five men, and expect to increase the force within a very short time"
 / Before coming into the possession Of the Anderson-Apache company this property was worked by Anderson, the original locator, who shipped more than 800 cars of ore, after working the ground according to ancient methods.

MARKET IS NOWIN PAN|CKY
 CONDITION
Bear Raids of the Past Few Days Have Been Effective in Thoroughly Demoralizing Prices of Securities.

Judging from the action of the
 stock market within the past three
 days, and especially yesterday. it looks very much as if the panicky condition of three months ago will again be seen before the present slump in prices can be stayed. What 1 is the cause of the drop is uncertain | as many men qualified to speak on the subject express different opin- | ions.
 k Within the past few days some of the railroad stocks have dropped off ! as much as 20 points. while others have suffered losses smaller than this.
 yet very material. The curb stocks all fell off from to 10 points. .s- | peciaIly the coppers. which seem to
 be the heaviest losers next to the
 railroads.
 That there will be still bigger de- clines is admitted by everyone, as
 it seems that the bears have the sit
 uation absolutely under their control. and are in a better condition to force i prices down now than they were be- | fore the break started. The reason I for this is, that when the prices were lup those with bearish tendencies | needed a large amount of money to make any material break, but after It
 once started they had plenty of op- portunity to cover and again hit the market with the money they cleared out of the first break and their orig iinal capital. With a decline of l5 or 20 points they have had three or four chances to cover and get in
 again, so that at the present time they I have plenty of ready money.
 On the other hand. as the prices | of stock fell money became tighter and tighter. until at the present time | it is higher than for long period. With this condition prevailing those who would support the market are handicapped by the fact that the only way they can get money is by paying | ruinOus rates of interests. Viewing ! the matter from all sides. it can be clearly seen that the present demOr-
 alized condition can not be overcome
 until there is some concerted sup porting movement.
 Many different causes are assigned for the panicky condition: some say governmental investigation of rail roads has brought it on: others that
 the Standard Oil Company is following out a policy of revenge because of the
 recent heavy fine assessed; others believe that pool of professional
 operators has taken advantage ot
 combination of circumstanceSG and
 hammered stocks; while many believe
 that it is caused by the public's los ing confidence because of the recent
 exposures of what can be nothing else
 but fraud on the part of those Oper-
 ating the large railroad corporations
 In regard to copper, the drop in the
 price of the metal, and a sympathetic
 movement with other securities. have
 undoubtedly been the impelling force
 downward.

ARBORN LOSES IN FIRST ROUND
 OF CONTEST
Justice BurdiCk Besides in Fa- vor the City-Defendant Im- mediateIy Files Notice of Ap- peal in District Court.

After having the matter und.r ad yisement over night, Justice BurGicS yesterday morning readere dccf- sion in the case of the Ter if0r,- vS. Robert Arborn. favorable t1 the pJan. tiff. The justice fixed the C>,fcn- dant's fine at the sum of s5J. Ghe:c- upon the defense immediately gave notice of appeal to the District Court, and filed bond in the sum of $50, with $. W. DObson and G. A. Johnson as surities.
 The rendering of the dec'kfonI against the defendant, who has stead fastly refused to pay the license fixed by the City Council for the car rying on of the business of a barber within the corporate limits of the city of Bisbee, places the matter in such shape that the city will probably be able to get a decisive ruling from the Supreme Court of the territory on the section of the incorporating law, upon which the defendant rests his claim that Bisbee cannot enforce it's ordinances by means of criminal pros ecution.
 When the former case against Ar born, in which g decision was ren- NCICu dSdluca uiA1 III LHS JuSliCS court, was appealed to the District Court, Judge Doan held in favor of the de fendant. Within two weeks after Judge Deans decision was rendered Judge Nave. of the second judicial district, in deciding identically the same question, held that the ordI- nances could be enforced by criminal prosecution, but that the action would have te be brought in the name of the territory
 Relying on the decision of Judge Nave, the municipal authorities have brought the present suit. not so much in the hope that Judge Doan will re- serve Dis former decision on this point, but that they might get the mat ter before the Supreme Court of the territory, where a decision will be given clearing up for the rest of time the doubt which has existed on this point
 When asked about the matter Mayor Caven stated yesterday:
 This is an entirely impersonal affair with us, but it seems to be the only way of obtaining decision whereby We can be guided in the fu- turs, and will not be involved inter minable law suits. whenever license collecting time comes around. We will carry it to the Supreme Court if necessary.

Meantime, Mr.. and Mrs. John Pringle
starved.
At the end Of year John Pringle
became father. Basing his claim
to consideration on the merits of that
interesting fact, John Pringle laid his
long apprenticeship before the manager
and asked him for raise. The mana
ger clapped John Pringle on the back,
gave him a whisky and soda and told
him not to talk such rot. John Pringle
refused the whisky and soda and went
home to Mrs. Pringle and lied. He
said that, by virtue of becoming
father, he had been raised ten bob
week. Mrs. John Prlngle had beef
jelly and oysters to celebrate the occa-
sion' and chatted gaily in the twilight
of the future that awaited the baby,
now that his father had begun to get
his chance. Four days later, John
Pringle, who had starved himself to a
shadow, tainted at rehearsal and was
sent home in a four-wheeled cab.
The shock upset John Pringle. It
also upset John Pringle's wife. A week
or two later, John Prlngle went about
birmingham in a brown coat supple
mented by band Of crepe. A week

way.
While he looked his betrothed ran
away with the stage manager. She
also ran away with John Pringles en-
gagement ring-not inside her purse.
AS the reward of virtue, John Prin-
gle spent five weeks III a Dublin hospi-
tai. The doctors said It was nervous
exhaustion; John Pringle knew it was

John Pringles eyes were still more Gu
rious and John Pringle's face was still
more sad.
Fifteen years passed, and John Prln-
gle was still waiting for his chance
1t was pleasantly among his fellows
to send him numerous postcards from
managers of London theaters asking
him to give them an interview with a
view to his playing the leading part.
John Pringle invariably answered the
postcards, and invariably smiled when
the indignant managers enclosed his
postcard in their reply letters 1t was
while he was answering a bogus adver-
tisement, indeed, that John Pringle met
his fate.
John Pringle's fate was young and
slender, with a fluctuating color, an
overstrained heart, and a sensitive
month. Within month John Pringle
had married her. Their joint incomes
at that time represented the interesting
sum of 35 shillings a week. During
their waits at rehearsals they would
sit and hold hands in corners and whis-
per together of what they should do
when John Pringle got his chance. He
was to play Hamlet, and she was to

John PtngIa's Chance



John Pringle was a man with a sad
face and curious eyes. His wife said
that he was a genius; his friends said
that he was fool; he himself said he
was an ass. AS matter Of fact, he
was all three, but If there was any
thing to choose between the definitions,
it was John Prlngle who was right.
When he was boy, John Prlngle
wanted to go into the church. His am
bition was to be eaten as a missionary
by the gentle savage beyond the South
ern seas. His mother, who had dream
ed dreams Of seeing her son in a round
collar and a soft felt hat, openly en-
cOuraged the boy to put his pennies
into missionary box, and wept in
secret at the thought of her Johnny
being roasted on a spit.
Three years later, however, having
visited the wicked pantomlme by
stealth for the first time. John Pringle
informed his Mortified parent on his re-
turn that he didn't want to be a mis-
slonary any longer, but intended to be-
come a clown. John Pringle's mother
made the boy write out the 93d Psalm,
and fell on her knees and thanked
heaven privately when her Johnny had
been dismissed to an early and i'm
penltent bed.
At the age Of 49, John Pringle quar-
relied with his rich uncle, who had
given him a clerkship in tea, and sold
himself body and soul to a touring the
atrical company for ten bob a week
In order to make things easy for John
Pringle materially, the rich uncle re
nounced him, and his mother wrote
enclosing a half-crown postal order fol
expenses, and said her Johnny had
broken his affectiOnate mothers heart
John Pringle slept with the letter
under his pillow, and sent the postaI
order back. Incidentally he wrote t.
his rich uncle, and wished him a pros
porous journey to place where clerk
ships cease from troubling and rict
uncles are not at rest.
1t was about this time that Jobr
Pringle's eyes began TO look curiou,
and John Pringle's face began to lool
sad.

in the same company; then he fell IL

NC Ilindnesa of the ROOF.

The old adage that the poor, are the
bkst friends of the poor was instanced
in the story of a chambermaid, who is
a young widow with two children to
support. After a lingering sickness the
younger of the children died, and the
young mothers bank account having
been depleted from defraying the ex-
penses OF the weeks of medicine and
doctors visits, she was obliged to con-
tract a debt at TIE undertaker's. After
that she paid a small monthly INSTALL
ment until the bill was half settled,
when one day there came through the
mail a receipt for the remainder. The
receipt was accompanied by a badly
written and blotted note from a scrub
woman in a large uptown hotel, who
knew Of the trouble, knew the family
and the circumstances, and in her note
explained that she had no family nor
near relatives and that she earned
enough to support herself and that -=he
wanted to use this surplus moneA cor
the little mother, who needed all that
she could make extra to support the
remaining child. AS scrubwomen re-
ceive only 80 or rs cents a day, one
will readily appreciate the spirit which
moved one kind soul to help another
in distress.-Leslie's Weekly.

THE BELL OF THE ANGELS.

1t is said, somewhere, at twilight
A great bell softly swings,
And q man may listen and hearken
To the wondrous music that rings,
If he put from his hearts inner chambel
All the passion, pain and strife,
Heartache, and weary longing
That throb in the pulses of life;
II he thrusts from his soul all hatred,
All thoughts of wicked things,
He can hear in the holy twilight
How the bell of the angels rings.
Let us look In our hearts, and question
Can purer thoughts enter in
To soul if it be already
The dwelling of thoughts of SIM
So, then, let us ponder a little
Let US look in our hearts, and see
If the twilight bell Of the angels
Can ring for you and me.
