to make any public statement respect ing his plans.
 There will be some changes in the building when Mir Davidson moves to that location. the details of which he has not at the present time worked out entirely. However. he will have a fine location and all the room neees- sary to properly arrange and display his large and varied stock Mir. Day. idson will have several departments. shelf and builders hardware. house furnishings. queensware, sporting goods. fine cutlery and besides thou sands Of articles of many kinds and classes. He has at present 11.soO diff ferent kinds os articles in his stock He has made success on the cash basis and will continue to do business on the same basis after removing to the new location.
 Mir Davidson came here from Kan sas a number of years ago and for a while was employed in a hardware store in Tempe where he was regard ed as first class man in that line Afterwards he was similarly employed for a time in Phoenix and then the desire to accomplish something for himself led him to start in business His beginning was a ten cent store near his present quarters. which bus mess prOspered and from that small beginning grew up the present exten- sive store. His first quarters were small but as trade expanded and the stock grew. MT. Davidson began tO reach out for more space and leased the present building. which at that time was divided into two rooms
 During this period he has seen the good times and the close years come and go but has never lost faith in Phoenix nor in the future of business. Perhaps to this optimistic spirit as well as to close attention tO business. Mir Davidson owes some of his sue cess. His present move to seek larg- CT and better quarters attests to his belief in a prosperous outlook and he is therefore preparing to have his business grow with the city.
 Mir Davidson is convinced that Phoenix .s certain to enjoy an in creased popularity with the tourists who wish to spend the winter here. and with another class who are look ing for good investments and a place wherein to mako a permanent home The moral tone Of the city has been improved during the last few years so that it has ceased to be the typical western town and with it's advantages and elevating influences il is com to locate in a western country.

BEE VEN.
When, October 13th 1868, the Gesellschaft
der Musikfreunde exhumed and reburied Schubert
the used for disturbing Beethoven's
bones, which lay three places higher up in the
Ortsfriedhof of Wahring The skeleton of the
Bonn master proved him to be ft. in high so
that like many of the worlds greatest men, he
was below medium stature.
EARLY DESCRIPTION OF THE MASTER.
The head was large, with grand forehead, great
breadth of jaw, and somewhat protruding lips
the lower one more developed in his late years
the habit of serious reflection and set thought
grew more inte, profuse mass of black
hair, cast upwards and backwards, left the full
open face-the more striking with it's ruddy
clean-shaven skin. AS Beethoven grew older and
bore the brunt of excessive troubles his hair as
abundant ever, turned white, but remained a
great ornament behind his red but, as we are in
formed from early youth pock-marked face. The
eyes arched with luxuriant brows were, indeed,
the mirror of his soul. Large and jetblack, they
full of the fire of genius, and on occasions of
special joy or inspiration were remarkably bright
and peculiarly piercing. The teeth-beautifully
white and regular-were much shown in laugh
ing; happily, the careless man at least kept them
brushed Unlike his hands, Beethoven's feet
small and graceful. The former were ugly, thick,
dumpy, with short untapering fingers, which
anything but the impression of grace fuency
the piano keys. His voice varied. When
quite himself it light in tone, and singu-
larly affecting; but when forced as it so often
was, on occasions of anger and temper it became
very rough and far from sympathetic.
BEETHOVEN A sCHooLBoY.
AS schoolboy Beethoven was reserved, having
little of that boisterous element which charac-
terizes ninety-nine out of every hundred lads
Caring little for boyish amusements he was no.
ticed to be Invariably selfcontained quiet, and
reflective He preferred to be alone and this love
of solitude-which was marked throughout his
life-gave him precious time to devote to his
favorite pursuit-that of forming music both on
paper and the pianoforte. His marvellous ca
pacity for work showed itself very early in life,
for he began composing with purpose before
most children have done with their toys.
One of the most marked characteristics that
showed itself very early in Beethoven's life and
remained there afterwards, was his fondness
for joking, which not only took practical shape
but often developed into sheer horse-play. When
but youth of fifteen years (1785), he was or
ganist of the Electoral Chapel at Bonn, whereat
was a coxcomb who was constantly pluming him
self upon his singing Abilities upon the in
ability of the accompanist to disconcert or throw
him OUT when singing. Beethoven soon made
wager that he would bring him to standstill, and

singer was warbling in the most approved fash

means to render assistance in case of
ship wrecks. The life saving service
proper was not really instituted until the
following year, when an appropriation
Of $4,000 was made for the establish
mcnt Of eight life saving stations on
the New Jersey coast between Sandy
Hook and Little Egg Harbor.
And right here let the man who was
most instrumental in securing this ap-
propriation-the man who is, therefore,
the founder OF the life saving service
tell how he came to conceive the idea
Of the service, 1t is a story little known
yet it forms an interesting chapter in
the history of federal life saving. Thus
it is told by DR.. William A. Newell,
who, though well along in the eighties,
until recently was actively practicing
medicine in Allentown. Y. J.:

Erroneous Convention.

Il referring to the arguments that
rates are kept up III order to pay divi-
dends on wntcred stock and that IL
these payments are not made earnings
could 20 to improvements and bet
tcrinents, Mr. Finley said that this
was AN entire misconception OF the
financial situation of the railroads, and
he greatly feared that an exaggerated
idea OF the earnings and wealth of
the carriers was at the bottom OF much
and hostile legislation. THE South
scrn3 Railway Company, since its organ
cation, twelve years ago lie conclud-
ed, spent or contracted to spend, and
E is in the act of spending, more than
$26,0O0,000 for It's additions to It's
facilities and for capitalized better
mcnts and improvements. This means
that on It's present mileage 1t has
spent. or thus contracted to spend,
within fraction Of $4,000 per mile.
whereas II every cent ofits net earn
ings, after the payment OF interest
and without paying one penny for div
sidcnds or carrying one penny to sur
plus, had been expended for these pur-
poses 1t would have amounted to only
about $4,000 per mile upon It's present
mileage. The fact is that proper diYi-
dends should be paid in order,to create
the credit on which a carrier can
provide itself, in the money market,
With the means to add to It's facili-
ties in those particulars which are es-
sential not only to It's own interest
as carrier. but to the interest OF the
public at large"
