All executions of any sort are free for anyone, man. woman or child, to witness. And the effect of that uni. versal and deadly system of bribery is only too apparent, a system that saps the strength and ability of China to become great country, for from one end of the kingdom to the other there is no disinterested desire for ad. vancement; only a case of the big fish eating up the little ones-and no man so great that he cannot be bought.
 If a prisoner condemned to be be. headed will pay the executioner fat bribe he may expect to be sent out of existence with neatness and dispatch after being heavily drugged with opium. But if he refuses, he must suf fer a clumsy execution that will be at

Following his recovery from an at tack of typhoid fever, Calvin Meyers, twenty.eight years old, is Haunting a crop of vivd red hair, where once raven locks adorned his head.
 Myers recoverd two weeks ago from a long siege of typhoid fever in which he was close to death for a time. Soon his hair, remarkably black, began to show tinges of red. Now it is brilliant red and seems to assume more vivid red each day. Physicians who have examined Myers admit the change baf. fles them, and that they are at loss to explain the hirsute notifications in connection with the attack of typhoid fever.-Canal Dover Dispatch to the New York Herald.

DENIES ALLEGATIONS OF WOMAN WHO CLAIMS TO BE COM
 MON LAW WIFE.
SENSATIONAL SUIT FOR HALF or s25o,ooo TO COME UP IN
 LOS ANGELES.
FIRST WIFE CLAIMS HE TOOK HER FOR BETTER OR WORSE
 IN FINAL COUNTY.

PHOENIX, February Helix May hew, a wealthy mine owner of Yuma county, who is at present living in Los Angeles with the young wife he married there last August, has filed an answer in the superior court in Los Angeles to the charges of Mrs. Mary Mayhew of Florence, Pinal county, who claims to be his common law wife. She asks for divorce and a share of the min CTS property.
 The petition of the woman, and the answer of the man in this case, reveals an alledged badly tangled love affair.
 It purports to be the story of man who, favored by a sudden turn of for tune, was raised from poverty to af- fluence by a stroke of miners pick, then, it is alleged, forgot the help meet who had faithfully borne with him the privations of his years of ad- versity
 The trial of the case which is set for tomorrow in Los Angeles, will bring out in full the charges and counter charges
 Mrs. Mary Mayhew, who brings ac- tion against the miner, is of Spanish descent. She claims she met and mar ried Mayhew at Casa Grande, Pinal county, in September, 1889, and she is now and has always been since that time a faithful wife. She admits no ceremony was performed, but relies upon statutes of Arizona, which, until short time ago, legalized all common law marriages.
 She further alleges that she toiled for the defendant for years. This she says, entities her to an interest in his wealth, which consists of mines known as the Mayhew group, near Yuma. She petitions the court to restrain him from disposing of the property until the suit is settled.
 Mayhew denies the most serious al. legations. He says he never married the defendant On other subjects he is mute. He does state, however, that the woman, not being his wife, is not entitled to any part of his fortune. He attaches the certificate of his marriage to Carmelita F. Romero of Phoenix, which took place in Los Angeles.
 Behind the legal phraseology of the court papers is the more romantic story of those who are acting for the little

 BLOWS INTO NtW YORK
The Way Modern Architecture Appeals to a Son of the Desert.

Captain A. F. Banta who left here a little less than a year ago for the ISthmus of Panama, is back again on native soil after a continued soiourn in the zone country. He is now in New York City but expects to return to Phoenix in the not distant future. The captain writes his Phoenix friends that he does not care to do any knocking on the lands he visits but he leaves the in ference that a white man has little business in the zone country unless he has good government job, and as for New York-well, there is no place like Arizona.
 New York impresses him as being pretty good sized city. too big if any thing. and unless one keeps his direc- tions pretty well he does not know whether to go up stairs or down cellar when he wants to go out doors. The earth proper is only way station for the people of the metropolis some of whom live thirty and forty stories above the ground and many of whom live three and four stories below the ground. The captain was rooming on the eighth floor and he wrote that that was about seven floors too high for him. But forty stories is unspeakable He enclosed in a recent letter clip

CONTROVERSY OVER
 TELEPHONE POLES
A Three cornered Argument Over a Situation for Which None of the Par ties Are Responsible.

A three cornered controversy Is de- veloping between the city, the tele- phone company and those interested in the Noble block in one way or anoth- CT It is hard to get at the exact facts for so much depends upon understand ings between men, but according to street talk the situation is about as follows: The telephone poles were originally where they belonged. six inches inside the curbstone line. They were moved out into the street to en- able MT. Noble to build a basement apartment under the sidewalk its en- tire width. utilizing space that might later be of great value to the building. For final arrangement when the building was completed. and to get the wires back where they belong, Mir. Noble was to provide arms or supports of some kind, attached to the building, for the carrying of the wires in front of it over the sidewalk.
 The building is not completed and that, as well as other plans, have gone by the board. MT. Noble is gone and those who may succeed legally td the ownership of the property do not at this time care to put in the money necessary to carry out this plan any more than many others that may be desirable eventually. as it is an inn provement not considered actually necessary for the protection of the property. The telephone company on the other hand, feels that its desire to accommodate and help along a good enterprise ought not to carry with it the expense of an improvement of this kind from which it will derive no fin ancial benefit. Meanwhile the city ordinances will not permit the poles to stand out in the middle of the street indefinitely when nothing is being done to get the wires back where they be- long.

ping reciting the details of a fire. the first paragraph of which reads as fol- lows:
 "Firemen climbed forty stories in the Singer building last evening to eX- tinguish a blaze among live coals on the top of the big sky scraper. only 10 find that it had been eXtinguished by volunteers
 Think of it. Even if the fire depart ment had a corps of well trained ball. oons il would take considerable of a run to get 'on the ground" and locate the fire. and after it was found. there would be nothing to rest a ladder on. But on the other hand the Pennsylva- mia railroad is now eXcavating for a big central depot for the village of New York and this is to be all under ground. That is going to extremes the other way. The value of a city lot in New York is no longer estimated by the distance between the ground and the blue sky. but by the distance be- tween the sidewalk and the greatest depth man can descend into the earth without losing the way back again, or finding a hole im the foundation.
 And the climate is another thing that an Arizonian cannot endure. Freeze to death all winter and roast all sum- mer. It don't pay poor man to do it. All the poor man gets that he can be sure of without taxation, a pull or a bank account, is good fresh air and. in New York city there is mighty little of that except it is either too cold or too hot to breathe. Still the captain likes New York for its wonders and propos- es to stay there a few more days and look around bit.

PEDAGOGs IN SESSION.

The State Teachers association in
session at Eugene has many din.
cult problems to consider.
Among them are raising the stan
dards of the profession AND THE
COMPENSATION OF ITS MEM
BERS.
Educational interests In Oregon
are looking up, and the provisions for
better training are improving.
One step much needed to be taken
Is to give those who take a normal
school course A DIPLOMA FROM
THE STATE.
AS the matter stands, no degres
from any institution protects the
teacher against harassing annual ex-
aminations.
The fact is, the county examina-
tions admit about as many unht
teachers As THEY KEEP OUT IN
CONiPETENTs.
With better standards prevailing,
with better opportunities for equip
ment. the teachers lot should be a
happier one.

THE BANKERs' CONVENTION.

The state Bankers association Is
meeting at Salem in its annual con-
vention.
The Capital City has enjoyed q
good name and reputation as a CITY
where banking HAS BEEN Sue
CBSsFULLY CONDUCTED.
This city has had its share Of
failures and Is not in position to
throw stones at ANY other section of
the state.
Indeed, this is not the age of the
world for throwing rocks as a profit
able occupation IN ANY LINE OF
BUSINESS.
Speculation. imitation. and politi-
cal schemes are the foes of good
banking, and yet they offer contlu-
nous bats for the unwary.
1t is an open question whether
the Oklahoma plan OF SECURING
THE DEPOsIToRs OF ALL STATE
BANKS is possible OF realization.
That plan will probably have its
advocate at Salem, and perhaps the
state association cannot avoid taxi
ing a stand on the question.
Whatever happens, the stay OF
the state bankers association will be
an Interesting event In the history
OF the city.
