MICHAEL DURKIN DEAD.

Charles Cunningham, of the Phila- delphia Hotel, yesterday received a telegram from Ely, New, announcing the death of Michael Durkin, an old resident of Bisbee and Tombstone. The message did not state the cause of death. Today the body will be shipped to Bisbee, arriving here in about three days. Funeral arrange ments will be made in the meantime. MT. Durkn left -Bisbee about two years ago. At the time of his death he was working at Kimberly, near Ely. In Bisbee he was employed as miner in the local shafts and followed the same occupation at Tombstone in it's early days, and later for a short time at Cananea. His wife died three years ago and was buried in Evergreen cemetery at Lowell, where Durkin's remains will also likely be inferred.
 Deceased was about 55 years old. A daughter, Sarah, aged about nine years, survives him. MT. Durkin came to Arizona from western Pennsyl- Yania.

SPENT FREELY IN PROSPERITY.
spseulator scorned to Make Provision
 for Lean Years.

The late Townsend Percy, specu- lator and promoter, who made and lost more than one fortune in the course of his life, used to be fond of repeating some of his mothers witticisms at his expense, generally brought about by his extravagances during his periods of prosperity. Once Percy had driven four-fH-hand for a year, when an un- fortunate 'deal' made it necessary for him to reduce expenditures and sell his horses, on which occasion she said to him:
 Townsend, don't you think that it would be better to drive one horse four years, instead of four horses one year?'
 Another time, when on the verge of financial crash, Percy still owned a considerable stable, and gave no out ward sign of pecuniary embarrass. ment. His mother met an old friend of the family about this period, who congratulated her on her sons sue. cess in life. q am glad that Townsend is doing So we'll" said the friend.
 Yes, indeed" remarked the old lady. Townsend has six horses and seven carriages and eight dollars."- Harper's Weekly.

MAS NEW HUSBAND'
 POOR STEP-DADDY
Harry Scott's Musical Fool iShneSS" Was Foolish, But
 Not Funny.

Mas New Husband" which was presented at the Orpheum Theatre Sunday night, was a mixture of good and bad. The show was badly han dicapped by the illness of the leading lady, who was in her room at the hotel during the entire performance. The part was taken by Maud Mullery, who as Dorothy, who loved every man. did the part cleverly, consid- ering that she was an understudy.
 Of the songs, several were old and the rest uninteresting. Two of them, "Only an American Girl" and "A Little Stock of Candy and' a Jumping Jack" were fair. Maria Longfellow, who took the part of Mas new husband, is a sure bet for last place at beauty show. Mrs. Fritz Dickles, who was not afraid Of her husband" would make a close sec ond.
 Francis Pierlot, who took the part of Christopher Culpepper, retIreu capitalist, did wells~ and should have been given a more prominent part As a whole, the audience laughed good naturedly and was liberal with applause, lavish, considering the show.
 Last night at the Orpheum vaude- vile was presented to a fair sized audience, and a program rendered that received much applause. Went. worth and Burns made a hit wIrh their battleship scene, and Billy Cummins was encored several times The program includes the follow ing: Sloan and London, singing and dancing soubrettes; Cummins in an illustrated song; Mabel Cassidy, com, edienne; Tobin, club swinging; Went worth and Burns, character coIner dians; "Minerva's Maneuvers," Eddy Black and company; moving pictures

\ charI.y,s Biggest Achievement.

The highest achievement of char ity is to love our enemies; but to bear cheerfully with our neighbours failings is scarcely an inferior grace. It is easy enough to love those who are agreeable and obliging; but to love one who is cross, perverse, tire some, is as unpleasant a process as chewing pills. Nevertheless, this, the best way of practising 1t, is to put our selves in the place of him who tries us, and to see how we would wish him to treat us if we had his defects. We must put ourselves in the place of buyer when we sell, and seller when we buy, if we want to deal fairly Francis de Sales.

MADE FAST TIME,
 IN PAPER CHASE Intermediate Class of Y,M,C,A, Have Sport Over Two and
 Half Mile Course,

The intermediate gymnasium class of the Y. NJ. c. A. made fast time last night over a two and onebah mile course in the first of series of pa per chases which will close the gym nasium season this year. The boys left the |. M. c, A. tdilding at S:10 and after following a course laid by the leaders over School Hill, Claw son Hill, Quality Hill, Higgins Hill and Mason Hill returned to the build ing al S:2S.
 The leaders, two in number, carry bags of paper torn or cut into fine pieces and with this a continuous trail is laid for the trailers to fol- low. Of trails are allowed for fifteen to twenty yards at the turns. This enables the leaders to gain time in distributing the paper evenly and lay ing a good trail. The alert trailer, however, will follow a well laid trail and gain rapidly on the leaders ui.Ir dicapped with their load of pale. The leaders are given five minutes start The object is to catch the leaders before they return to thc starting point.
 h the chase last night the leaders finished less than a minute ahead of the trailers. The second of the se- ries will be run next Friday evening, leaving the Y. M. c. A. building at T:45.

trains, as heretofore, will have to be
carried down East River and across the
harbor. Although these ferries with
the tide in their favor easily beat an

save fully an hour and q half more

OUR POSTAL SERVICE.

4 L M.MEaHN 700 @--- .NsLHH
Largest Business Enterprise ON
Earth Managed by One Man.
The United States Postofice Depart
ment Is the greatest business enterprise
under the executive management of one
man In the world. Last year this de-
] partment handled 1881, 090,61O separ-
ate pieces OF mail matter. The depart
ment handled In the transaction Of Its
domestic and international money or
der business and the disbursements con-
nected with that branch Of the service
S1,079,987, $50. The cost of the postal
service Of the country last year was
$17S,44 IT'S, and the income from all
sources strictly in the transaction of
postal business was S16I, 932, 1882.
There are 319,s9S employees in all
grades of the postal service In the coun.
try. This Is a force as large as some
Of the largest standing armies Of Eu-
rope.
1t took 40 years for the total num-
Der Of ~postofices In the United States
70 reach the number of 10000. In
1850 there were 25,5e5. To-day there
are $1,000 less number by $500 than
there were ten years ago, because Of
the changes caused by the introduction
Of rural delivery. But 1t Is not 10 much
In the number OF ~postofices that the In
crease Of the postal business Of the
country Is shown. The increase Of pop
ulatlon and the migration Of the de-
~scendants OF the people Of New Eng
land, New York and the middle West
on further west account for the increase
In the use Of the mails. Taken with
these conditions there is also the fact
that increased facilities, such as rural
delivery, have had their effect.
For the first 40 years OF the life of
the department there was no deficit.
The postal service was then run so as
to earn something for Uncle Sam. But
In 1856 there was a deficit, and 1t was
$3,4S4,465. Last year the deficit was
$10,516,000. But the gross expendi-
lures last year were $17S,449 900, in
stead OF $1O,5O4,000 as in 1856. The
deficit now Is several times greater
than all the cost of the postal service
for several decades In the early history
Of the government, but 1t Is a mere bag
atelle compared with the gigantic pro-
portions OF the whole postal business.
In 1855 there were 1875, y210
stamps sold. Last year there were
8,297, 392, 415 stamps sold and $780,
$4,000 stamped envelopes, as compared
with 100000 stamped envelopes sold
so years ago. Besides, there were 1885,
917 900 postal cards sold.
Cne Of the signs of growth in our
postal system appears in the employ
ment Of women. Up to 1862 women
had never been employed In the service.
Then they were admitted to the dead
letter of1ce-eight of them. Now of
the 1,195 employees In the department n
Washington 300 are women, and there
are In the whole country 27,600 women
employed, generally in the stamp dellv.
cry or money order Offices, and receiv-
ing salaries running from $500 to ST.
700 a year.
Last year we paid railroads for car
rying the mails of the country a sum
larger than the entire cost Of running
the government so years ago. The
amount was $41,640, 7s5, and the mails
travelled 371,681,0o0 miles on railroads
during the year.
