GAMBLING YET
 IN TERRITORY
No Charges Made, but It Is Intimated that the Law Is Being Broken in Sev- eral Mining Camps-Prescott Firm Considers Fighting the Law.

Now and then reports gain currency in different parts of the territory that the territorial anti gambling law which went into effect the first of April, is not being obeyed to the letter.
 No official charges have yet been made that the law is being broken, but it is freely remarked in non-official cir cles that in certain towns and mining camps games of chance are being run contrary to law.
 While these reports are not improb- able and some of them are probably of good foundation, the fact that none of the offenders have been brought to the bar of justice would seem to prove that most of the reports are rumors- nothing more.
 It has been said in Phoenix that there were several wheels being oper- ated in Yuma and that gambling was going on there in full swing. The Ga zette learned from a private source yesterday that while there are several poker games running the wheels are all still. No particular pains are be- ing taken to keep the fact of the ex- istence of the poker games from the authorities.
 It is believed that in Crown King and other mining camps in that section gambling is going on with more or less secrecy.
 The report has also been circulated that Brow, Smith & Belcher, proprietors of the Palace saloon at Prescott, intend to erect a large clubhouse in conjunc- tion with the Palace and run games openly, with the intention of fighting the law if they get into trouble with the courts, as they undoubtedly will, if the report is true.

WEAK OPENING
 STRONG CLOSING
List Shows Advance from Fraction to Two Points at the Close Yesterday --Dividend-P Payers Look Cheap at the Present Prices-Corey Resigns.
(Bv H. II. Bru Col

GLOBE, May 24.-The market opened weak, but advanced on the close from fraction to two points. The general tone of the market is bullish one and we look for several points rise in most stocks within few days, when we would recommend profit taking and wait for the coming decline again before buying. The crop reports are far more favorable and it is expected from now on this will continue.
 All good dividend-paying stocks are down to where money can be made op their purchase, especially the coppers. When the metal buying begins, which will be in evidence soon, these stocks should revive and sell closer to the fig ures of the copper market.
 It is reported the last few days that w, E. Corey has resigned from the presidency of the steel corporation and that he sold s0,OOO Steel common on the 2lst.
 The local stock market has been quiet lately and very little activity in evi- dence. Of the local stocks we think there is good future for Inspiration, Globe-Arizona, Central Copper and Ma tionaf.

General Manager
 Is in the City
HEAD OF McKANNA LIQUOR CURE SPENDING A FEW DAYS WITH LOCAL OFFICE.

The general manager of the McKanna Liquor Cure is in the city at the Globe sanitarium. He will remain for only a few days. While the local staff is thoroughly competent to administer the treatment, the general manager would be glad to interview any man or woman who sincerely desires to stop using whisky.
 The McKanna Cure does not claim to do the impossible. It does not pur- port to put brains into a man s head. But it does take away from him both the thirst and the physical necessity for whisky. That is all a sensible man should ask. If the patient ever goes back to drinking again it is with nal ice aforethought and not because his palate demanded it or his physique de- manded it.
 Numbers of your friends in Globe have taken the treatment and they are very glad to tell you how it has bene- fitted them from every standpoint. Of fees, rooms 13 and 14, Lantin building.

GAVE THE STORY HIMSELF
How tho News of Ross Vote Against Impeachment Reached the Asso-
 ciated Press

In the 0D1tuafy notes that nave been published concerning the recent death of the late Ex-Senator Edmund c. Ross of Kansas, whose vote in the famous impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson resulted against his conviction references have been made to that epoch in Ross career and to the hard fate that followed his conscientious decision.
 Mir. James G. Holland of this city, tury in the service of the old New York Associated Press, related yesterday to Post representative an incident con nected with the circumstance of the Kansas senator determination to vote against convicting the president that is not without interest.
 "At that period,'' said MT. Holland, "the Washington office of the Asso- ciated Press was located in the Metro politan hotel on Pennsylvania avenue. It was on the second floor and was reached by flight of stairs from the avenue. These were the days before special wires were in vogue. Reporters and correspondents for out-of-town newspapers filed their copy in the Western Union Telegraph office, which was down on the avenue near to what was then Four-and-a-half street, now known as John Marshall place.
 "I can well remember that night in the month of May, 1868, preceding the day of the vote which declared Andrew Johnson not guilty of those high mis- demeanors that had been charged against him. It was shortly after O clock and notwithstanding the sus- pense and suppressed excitement that lad characterized the day, everything was then quiet and peaceful While was awaiting goodnight and alone in the office l heard steps on the rather long stairway and I was impressed by the absolutely weary kind of sound that followed the footballs. In few moments Senator Ross came into the room. If ever there was a man who in his gait and countenance showed the personifcation of mental anguish, be did on that night, when he handed me written paragraph stating his deter imitation to vote against convicting the president.
 Had stranger-that is a messen- ger or any other person except Ross handed in that vital piece of news, I should have hesitated to send it to the press without some other. confirmation; but I knew the senator personally and there could be no doubt of it's truth. He handed the paper to me and asked that it be sent to the Associated Press. l assured him that I would do so and lost no time in getting the great item of news on the wire. l hastened to the telegraph office, filed it and the next day it was known everywhere, and the world knows the result
 ''I left the senator seated in the of fee and when I returned he had gone. Such eminent Republicans as Fessenden, Grimes, Fowler, Trumbull and others voted the same as Ross had, but he was the only man whose constituents punished him for obeying the dictates of his conscience.-Washing Post.

HEALTHIER TONE
 IN STOCK MARKET
c,rDey shares Held Up Well Through ont the Day without any Particular rc7t,re. However-Better Market for Next Week.
lBy I. N. Kinsey)

GLOBE. May 24.-Although there ,-s. moi much trading, the market today r,g much healthier tone than at any ,;ws during the past week and an up- ,,rr is confidently anticipated. How s.sr ii is not yet market that can h. entered with any degree of safety, ,vrirr to the tendency on the part of eastern brokers to give credenee to the r.ary bearish rumors that are constant rv heinz set aAoat. There is still a considerable short interest in the lead ing issues.

D. will go any lower this sum mer unless something untoward occurs m market conditions shannon con. tirres to be. a good trader, holding .tr,rr above SIS. Globe Consolidated is heinz quoted at S1l.5O, although this does not represent any sales. Superior 4 Boston is sagging and apparently no effort is being made to hold it up, all though the company is in better shape than it has ever been so far as the min irr end is concerned. The same may be said of Calumet X Globe. Helvetia maintains its strong position in view of a change of policy by the management. There is no trading to speak of in the I7esI unlisted shares.

Feeding Tree Trunks

MT. Simon, owner of an estate at Al laire, Morbihan, France, having proved that the death of numerous apple trees was the result of an affection of the rootlets, rendering them unable to draw from the ground the clements necessary for the life of the tree, conceived the idea of artificial nutrition by injecting directly into the trunk a liquid that might replace the sap. The results were very satisfactory, and other trees, and even cabbages, caulifowers and pota- toes have been similarly treated.-Paris Cosmos.

present incumbent, was elected sec
retary.
Mr.. J. B. Anderson, of San Mateo,
was the Society's first treasurer, and
served until 1896, at which time Mr.
w. S. Hart was elected to this office,
and he has held it since that date.
Mr. Hart has never had any cause
to make a special trip to Canada on
account of the large funds he held
as treasurer. The Society, however,
has been able to meet its obligations,
because Mr. Hart has never turned
down a draft made on him as treas
urer whether the money was in the
treasury or not. If the Society was
short of funds he paid the bills and
waited until the next meeting for his
returns. Not only in this way has
Mr.. Hart shown his interest in the
Society, but has labored in other ways
to do what he could to help it along.
The meeting places of the Society
have varied from time to time The
first meeting was held in Ocala, the
second at Orlando, the third at De-
Land, and the place of the fourth
meeting I am unable to give. The
fifth meeting was held at Ormond,
and the sixth at Pensacola. The sew
enth, eighth and ninth we're held at
Jacksonville, the tenth and eleventh at
Orlando, twelfth and thirteenth at
Jacksonville, and fourteenth at St.
Augustine. The fifteenth at Tampa,
sixteenth at Miami, seventeenth,
eighteenth and nineteenth at Jackson
vile, and the twentieth meeting will
be held at St Petersburg, on the 18th,
18th, 18th, and 18th of this month
It would be very interesting to go
over each report during these years,
especially to those few members who
have been with the Society from the
beginning. In looking over the mem
bership list 7 find there are only 81
members now on Our rolls that were
members at the time of the fifth an
nual meeting, in 1892. Of this number
the following are life members: Mr..
S. H. Gaits1<il1, w. S. Hart S. S.
Harvey, H. c. Hastings. G. P. Healv,
E. O. Painter, Lyman Phelps. P. II.
Rolls, G. L. Taber, and L. A. Wilson.
Among the annual members I find the
following: E. w. Amsden, E. G.
Blake, A. II. Brown, w. A. Copper,
T. F. Corrigan, c. A. Dreka E. S.
Hubbard. Irving Keck, J. P. Mace,

F. C. Sampson, Chas. Se1lmer Fl. B.
Stevens. IT. Won Luttichau, s. c. War
ner, J. W. Westlake. and L. Wightman.
The meeting at St. Petersburg pro-
misses to be one of the largest since
the one at Miami, as more members
are enrolled before the date for the
meeting. than at any time in the history
of the Society.

The Florida Horticultural Society.
Short Historical Sketch of the Society," by its Efficient

Editor Florida Agriculturist, Jackson
vile, Fla.
Dear Mr.. Editor have your favor
asking for short history OF the Flori-
da State Horticultural Society. While
I was one Of the charter members
and have attended every meeting, with
one exception, since it's organization,
my memory is not quite good enough
to 60 over it all. Then again, my
reports were burned and, consequently,
have not now a complete file to
help refresh my memory. However,
through the kindness of Mr.. GaitSklll
the Society now has nearly complete
file beginning with 1892.
In 1892 the Horticultural Society
was incorporated by the following
charter members: Dudley w. Adams,
Lyman Phelps, w. S. Hart, E. Q.
Painter, A. C. Martin, r. H. Rand,
S. H. Gaitski1l, and A. M. Thrasher.
Mr.. Dudley W. Adams was elected
president and served until 1897, having
died at his home in Tangerine, Fla,
ON February 13, 1897. at the age of
IS. At Our next annual meeting. which
was held at Orlando in 1897, Mr..
C. L. Taber, of Glen St. Mary,
Fla, was elected president, and con-
tinued ito hold this office until 1905,
when Mr.. c. T. McCarty, of Eldred,
Fla, was elected to that office. Mr..
Taber served the Society long and we'll,
and it was only at his urgent request
that his name was withdrawn as a
candidate for reelection. Mr.. c. T.
McCarty served us as president for the
t. 80, Ne
McCarty had shown his great ability
as an executive officer, and the men,
beers had already begun to feel that in
him they had most worthy president
and a man who was a hard worker
for the Society and it's cause, and an
excellent man in every way for the
position It was with deep regret that
the Society learned that the assassin's
gun had put out his light and re-
moved him from his field of useful
ness. Prof P. Fl. Rolls, of Gaines
vile, being the first vice-president, took
the mantle of president, and will pre-
side at the 10th annual meeting to be
held at St. Petersburg.
Mr.. w. S. Hart. of Hawks Park,
was the Society's first secretary, and
held this position for two years, with
E. o. Painter as corresponding secre-
tary. In 1895 Mr.. A. H. Manville,
of Glen St. Mary, was elected as
secretary, and also served two years,
when Mr. H. G. Hastings, of Inter
lachen, was elected In 1899 Mr..
Stephen Powers was elected secretary,
and continued to hold this office until
1904, having died on April End of that
wear. At the death of Mr.. Powers,
Mr. Aubrey Frank took I'D the work
as secretary pro tenn until the meet
ing in April, when E. o. Painter, the
