Queer Coins in Collection Plates.

cit s really true about church collec- tions-I mean these jokes you hear about the queer coins that get into the collection" remarked the treasurer of a big East End congregation yesterday
 "Yes," said the treasurer, Git s sell dom that l fail to find some curious coins when l get the contents of the several collection plates each Sunday. There are seldom if ever any buttons. that s all just talk about buttons be- ing put in the collection plate. but there are plenty of coins that wouldn't pass at any store. t's not unusual to find foreign coins that are worth something, but which can t be passed for their face value at the stores I don't suppose there is any dishonesty in putting such coins in the basket, because the donor may have intended to give only frac- tiOn of the face value of the coin. Then of course there are scores of coins, notably l0-cent pieces, that have worn smooth from use, and will no longer be accepted at the banks. ''-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

ANNUAL REPORT
 0F THE GOVERNOR
SHOWS FINANCIAL CONDITION OF TERRITORY TO BE EXCELLENT
 NEW MINE TAXATION.

The annual report of Governor Kib. bey of Arizona to the secretary of the interior was made public in Washing ton last Monday. The year covered by the report, the governor says, is the most prosperous the territory has ever known. There has been greater activ- ity in all the leading branches of indus try, mining, stock raising and farming. There has been a great advance in farm lands, particularly in the Salt river valley, where the advance in many instances has exceeded 100 per cent within year.
 The estimated population of the ter ritory is ls5,000 of which 26000 are Indians. The immigration has been chiefly from Mexico, attracted by the high wages of mines. The same attrac tion has brought in great many Sla- vonians, Austrians and Italians.
 The financial condition of the terri tory is excellent. The debt, $3,123,- 275.29, is the same as that of the pre- vious year, no new bonds having been issued. The cash balance in the treas ury in June was more than $300,000, the high record, but a considerable part of that as we'll as of the receipts to come in will be absorbed by fixed ex. penditures and by the appropriations provided for by the last legislature. However, larger surplus than ordi- nary will be carried over to the com ing year.
 The report abounds in statistics con corning the public institutions. The territorial banks are shown to be in remarkably good condition. No fail ures were reported during the year. The resources of the banks were in creased from $l7 ,356, ,346.70 to $22, ,40l,- 9S0.66, and the deposits from $13,955,- 46l.l9 to $1S,4S7 ,5l2.5S.
 The report described at length the new mine taxing law of the territory by which the valuation of the mines for taxable purposes has been brought up to nearly S2l 00,0O0,000 an increase of nearly S7,OOO,O00 over the preceding year.
 On the subject of statehood with which the report concludes, after de- seribing the election a year ago in which the joint statehood proposition
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1907-12-06

had grown very surly and had muttered threats against the trainmen.
 In the dark Conductor Roller and Brakeman Hillman were hurrying along over the train Co see that everything was all right, They carried their Ian terms and were easy marks for anyone who wished to attack them.
 They had gone over several cars when they were suddenly confronted by the two Mexicans. Before either of the trainmen could make move one of the Mexicans had rawn knife and stabbed Conductor Roller in the abdo- men. While the trainman was pulling his gun the Mexican stabbed him sec ond time in the shoulder and on the hand.
 Meanwhile Brakeman Hillman was having hand-tohand struggle with the other Mexican. Several shots had been exchanged in the fight.
 Hillman slipped and fell on the car and the assailant bounced on him with the fury of tiger. The Mexican pressed his revolver against the pros trate man and was about to fire when Conductor Roller, although he was rap idly becoming weak from the loss of blood, leveled his revolver and fired. The bullet struck the Mexican in the hand and, tearing clear through the member, shattered the handle of the gun.
 The fight had become so furious and the motion of the train was so rough that both of the Mexieans were iolted off of the train and they were found later, dead along the track.

was defeated by vote of 16,262 to 3,l4l, the governor says: Nearly a year has passed since that election and l deem it my duty to report the fact that public sentiment is even stronger in Arizona against joint statehood with New Mexico than it was last year.
 Of the closing of gambling Governor Kibbcy says: "This made April 8 historic date in the territory, for un- til then gambling had bee conducted ev- anywhere in wide open manner, the doors of the gambling houses being open every day and night of the year. The abolition of gambling was in re- sponse to a pronounced public senti- ment. l regard it as n fact, most cred itable to our people that not only was the new law instantly obeyed by the gamblers but there has been on at tempt anywhere to cvade the law

Walking For Health and Pleasure.

Walking has never been appreciated as highly by Americans as by the peo. pie of some other nations. The British, in particular, are devoted to it. English men think nothing of twenty-mile stroll, and English women s figures and complexions, both famous for beauty, are undoubtedly due to the long walks of from ten to twenty miles they take daily. Macaulay, for example, used to walk enormous distances, on one occa- sion covering twenty-four miles, during which excursion, by the way, he read fourteen books of Homer's Odyssey. That walk did not give him as much benefit as it should have done, for read ing deprived him of the pleasure he might have had from observing the landscape.

First Break in Living Cost.

As calculated from the reports of 9. 567 American families, the average cost of food purchases per household in the decade of ls90.ls99 was highest in 1893 and lowest in 1896. Since the latter year the increase in the food cost of living has been practically constant That is, for decade and the best part of an eleventh year the householder has seen his burden of table expense increase annually and inevitably.
 Aside from the fall in turkeys and ixings" which came in time for New York $ Thanksgiving, the first promises of positive break in this condition lie in the reductions of meat prices an nounced by wholesalers in the west. 1t is reasonable to assume that these re- duetions presage a general lowering of rates of ofood products.-New York World

CASE IS ARBITRATED.
Contracting Firm Receives Large
 Sum for Building Work.

Philadelphia, July 22.-Samuel Gus tine Thompson of this city, arbitrator in the litigation between the city of Philadelphia and the McNichol con- tracting firm over the payment of bills for the construction of parts of the city's water filtration system, today awarded to the firm $2,049,326, which is the greater part of the money re- tained by the city from the firm pend- ing a decision of suits entered by the municipality. The award is favor able in many points to the McNichol firm. MT. Thompson finds that James P. McNichol member of the firm, received in profits S51, 1905 while he was a member of the city council, which was a violation of the law Un- der the award McNichol is directed to return this amount to the city. Coun- sel for the city acquiesced to the award and the money was immediately paid.
 The litigation grew out of the up- heaval of 1905. when Mayor Weaver accused the contractors of having de- frauded the city out of more than S5,000000 in consideration of filtra- tion plants.
