bunk While it was known that the
man had been drinking for three days
it was not thought that he was in a
critical condition as he made no re-
quest for a physician and did not even
complain of feeling ill.
He was arrested at three o'clock
yesterday morning by Officer Sullivan
in an alley in Chinatown and had but
ten cents and a due bill from the NJ.
and P. for s. for wages. There were
but two prisoners in the Jail at the
time, one of whom, Jack Doe. reported
to the jailer that Lopez was groaning
like one with delirium. Marshal Moore
visited the Jail at am. and found
Lopez breathing all right and appar-
emily asleep.
When Perrin found the man dead at
about 2 o'clock he at once notified the
marshal and Coroner tombstone.
An inquest was held and a verdict of
death from unknown causes rendered
The only known relative of the man. a
cousin, was present at the inquest but
could give little information about him.
The body was turned over to Easter
ling and Whitney. He will be buried
by the county. He appeared to be
about 30 years old.

The shaft will be continued up as the

the diameter down from about twelve

out a folding cement form encased

Evergreen Addition. They propose to
make this as desirable a residence

tons will be required. These lots are
one square from the Brill car line.
They will pipe water to every lot and
have already arranged with the Elec-
trio Light and Power company to fur

be begun at once and the lots placed
on sale about the first of the year
The lots will measure so by $50 feet
They have also secured the south half

water supply. This tract adjoins the
Capitol addition on the north and is
but two blocks from the car line. 1t
will be divided into two and one-haIf
acre tracts. Streets will be run
through and shade trees planted.

This tract will be known as Christy

Prisoners in the city Jail will be kept
warm this winter whether they like it
or not 1t has been the pratice of
those temporarily boarding at the
city's expense, to break all the glass
in the windows of the Jail The prob
lem of designing a heating plant that
will keep the Jail at a comfortable
temperature with the windows letting
in cold air was turned over by the
committee to ID. W. Willard. The plans
are now completed and bids being ad
vertised. The system designed by Mr.
Willard and accepted consists of hot
water radiators and embraces about
$1,000 to $4,000 feet of radiation. All
the remaining floors in the basement,
which are not concrete will be laid in
that material. A new boiler will be
installed in the boiler room and
three story chimney erected on the
east side Of the building. There viii
be one or two radiators in each room
in the first story and basement. Il
the Jail proper there will be two radi-
atOrs placed snugly against the walls
and the return pipes will be buried be-
meath the floor to be out of the way.
The corridor running between the jail
and boiler room will also be concrete.
It will make the Jail and offices above
comfortable during the winter at a
very reasonable cost to the city.

money appropriated goes away from
here. There is no necessity for this.
The work can be done and the ma
terials furnished right here in Phoenix.
The architects who make a practice
of getting foreign bids say that the
bids are lower. That in the main is
true. Contractors from Los Angeles
have little knowledge of what it costs
to build here. The result is that when
they find that they have underbid, to
save themselves either they must put
in cheap material or call for more
money. When the territory puts up
money for the erection of a public
building that money should be eXpend-
ed within the bounds. Of the territory"

A Woman,a Triun. oh.

Another triumph for woman The
United States attorney general has ap-
pointed as his special assistant, at q
salary of $4,000, Mrs. Mary Grace
Quackenbos, who is an expert in cer-
tain lines. She has particularly dis
finguished herself as an investigator
of peonage abuses, o line of wrongdo-
ing with which it is often difficult to
deal, owing to the cunning of the Of
tenders and the ignorance and timid-
fty of the victims. Peonage is some
thing little If any different morally
and in effect from slavery, that form
Of bondage in which actual ownership
is asserted. Mrs. Quackenbos has
done good work in ferreting out these
wrongs and in helping to bring the
lawbreakers to punishment, and it is
evident the department of justice ap-
pfeciates the value of her services AMI
her ability to do still more in the
cause of humanity-a function to
which woman of mind and heart is
well adapted.

It is not wide CT the mark, probably.
to say that the Deweys stayed in the
Rhode Island heme for a much longer
time than they wanted to stay. Time
dulls the edge of criticism and makes
people forget, and so the Deweys, not
long ago, quietly left the house on ths
avenue to take up residence in the
great dwelling at Sixteenth and Il
streets, where Mrs Dewey resided
when sba was Mrs. Hazen, and from
which Admiral Dewey took her to
church To make her his wife,
Admiral Dewey is the ranking of
ficer OF the navy and as a full admiral
he Has right which belongs to no
othsr man of either service, the right
to rofnain on the active list until he
sees fit to retire. From his rank It is
expected, and therefore practically
necessary, that when the admiral
gives an entertainment 1t shall be a
large one. It is only fair to say that
the Rhode Island avenue house which
was given him by the people was al
together too small for large gather
ings.
The old Hazen residence into which
the admiral and his wife have moved
affords space enough for most elab-
crate entertainments. A series Of din

Disturbances in the Poultry Yard.


1t is admitted by all poultry breed
ers that anything which tends to
frighten the chickens will decrease
egg production. In the large poultry
plants visitors are either refused ad-
mittance or admission is charged to
make up in part for the disturbance
to the hens. A strange dog running
through the yards, children noisily
hunting for eggs and chasing the birds
for feathers-any cause which excites
then-will do them harm It some
times happens that hens will void one
or more egg yolks from extreme
fright This is sometimes accompanied
by discharge Of blood, and is known
as abortion. Such an accident may
entirely destroy the value of an other
wise good bird. During favorable
weather the farm flock is not apt to
be so disturbed, scattered as they are
over good range, but when winter
finds the birds housed, strangers and
dogs should be kept out of the poultry
hOuses.-EX.

Passing confederate Money.

7
h seems strange that, more than 40
years after the ciivi war and with the
confederate states of America only a
memory, every now and then some
one turns up with a confederate bill
ana finds no difficulty in passing it.

are printed, and as the quality of the
material then obtainable was not of
me best that value may be counted as

ang that anyone can be deceived in
Ii1is way, for the confederate notes in
their best estate are so widely differ
ent and SO inferior in appearance COM
pared to any of the currency of the
present time that suspicion should be
aroused in the mind of the least wary.
Yet the bills pass. Not so very many
years ago one of large denomination

Gid not discover the truth until he
took the bill to his bank. There must
be considerable confederate money in
existence, for it was very cheap after
Appamattox and thousands of bills
we're carried home by union veterans
as souvenirs. But no one need be
fooled by dishonest use of the worth
/ less paper if he will take the trouble
to read the inscription in big lettering
which tells how "the Confederate
States of America promise to pay
something they never can pay.
