ABOUT CHILDREN Why Some Are Mentally De. ficient and Others Are
 Bright,
MANY DIFFERENT TYPES
Certain Aptitude for Calculation Some times Observed iu Im-
 beetles.

!ona time ago an eminent English dca,er announced that mental capac- I alwaya corr spends with aptitude fir mathematics, and that those chil- C. .on who had not this aptitude were likely to be helow par in excellence, all along the line Quite a different conclusion may be drawn from some of th. facts set forth in a recent contribu- tion 10 Cosmos The writer states that fondness for mathematics often exists together with total lacK of ability for vigorous thought, and that even idiots occasionally show ability in purely nu- mcrical calculation, He says;
 "The category of abnormal, back ward, or unstable pupils includes very different types, There are false ab- rormals who are simply badly develop ed because placed in bad hygienic con ditions; when these are removed from their surroundings, and properly nour- tshed they may often be made into ex- cellent scholars
 Then there are children who are near sighted or slightly deaf, who, be- lHS uIldDle to pIOll by WllHl the tedCn~ CT says, are not interested in the les son, remain inattentive and are soon regarded as backward Correct their defects of visual accommodation, cure their deafness, or simply place them on the front bench In the class, where they may hear and see with less effort, and they will become good pupils,

 Times have SO changed that 1t fig no longer necessary for campaign com mitteos 10 spend as much money as formerly in behalf of candidates for national office. The newspapers have taken the place of the spellbnder. the torchlight parade and the congressional monograph, and every citizen at cost of two cents day may keep in close touch with the canvass from Maine to oregon, and be as thoroughly con- versant with the issues of the contest as if he had sacrificed time, comfort and health in nightly attendance upun crowded mass meetings. How many votes are changed by all the picturesque fol-de-rol in which the rival parties indulge? Indeed, after one or two competent advocates on either side have presented the main facts of inc campaign, what more is there to be said in the way of argu- ment or persuasion? Where are the roorhacks of yesterday? What did the autumnal allegations amount to, after all? They lent spice 10 slug gish competition, but nobody imagines that they altered the result.

 For many months Dr Morgan had been planning to install a window in ] the west end of the church, thus com- i peting his work of heautifying he ! cdiAce, He already had about sSoo crl- ,ecied Tor the window, the estluatcd cost of which Is in the nelgboorhood of &.6j0
 The west window fills all ,he wall space between he pillars of the nave, directly above the memorial baptismal font and is the largest in the church. Al present lt is filled with plain lead ed glass As customary in English cathcdrals, the windows Of the chancel and transepts and the west window V ill probably be reserved for memorials to prominent members of the parish, and those in the sides of the nave devoted to family memorials This will lot, however, as has been enormously stat ed. be the first memorial window in the church

TNe Virtue Mining and Develop. mcnt company resumed operations at Portal the second day of May. Four men only are employed at the outset. Within few days thereafter another miner will he added, making five, which number is the regular force, says the Tucson Star.
 As to the probable length of time of operations on the property, now that work has once more resumed, Manager Epley said he hopes and believes that it will not again become necessary to close down-that operations from this time on will be continuous. Of the same opinion is c. F. weleh, of Rule, Texas, a stockholder of the company, wno, after visiting the property, finds that it more than meets his expecta. tions.
 From these gentlemen 1t is learned that there was recently placed in the treasury enough money 10 insure the continuance of operations for some time that there would be more funds st hand during the present month, and that several wealthy men of the east have promised to visit the property soon, vita a view to investing if pleased Should the showing expected be en- countcred in the tunnel, they believe it will be a very easy matter to raise whatever sum of money required for proper development of the proeptry.
 By reason of it's croppings, indiea' tions and ore disclosures in open cuts, tunnels, etc, the Virtue is generally regarded as one of the foremost prop. critics in the district. In numerous places ore can be seen on the surface, and from an open cut on the ledge near the portal of the tunnel, several hun dred pounds of very rich copper ore were taken out

TWO PLEAD GUILTY;
 BUAXs CLEARS BOTH
dFrern D0peay's Dsny)

r. After delibeyating for over three hoars the jury acquitted Ella Wilton, known as the "turkey. herdern and Reas Duran, A Mexican girl, of the chargs of burglary. They entered q Chinese noodle joint and stole n purse belonging to tae proprietor and after being arrested confessed the crime to the officers. After being indicted by the grand jury, Paul Burks was ap- pointed by the court to defend the girls. He made the plea before the jury that the crime was not burglary but was petty larceny as the girls, he claimed, had not entered the place with the intention of stealing. District At torney Morrison argued that the evi- dence showed eonelusively that the girls had visited the place in q lawful manner, and then had returned later with the intent to steal, having been told by the Mexican woman where the money was hidden. Attorney Burks ah tbkehbouS Sbte and it was due to this that his clients were cleared, one point in his favor being that as the sum stolen was small, the jury was not inclined to send them to Yuma for that ofYense. The Duran woman was sent to the Territorial prison in 1901 from this county for grand larceny.
 The motion of Attorney Anderson to qrs.sh the indictment against Richard DeKuhn, charged with mutilating pub lie records, was set for hearing for Monday. His contention is that one of the grand jurors WIS biased, being interested in a neighborhood feud that has been brewing in Cherry Creek. The same disposition was made of the mo tion to set aside the indictment against c. w. North who is accused of libel in writing defannatory letters.

Clark against ihe Copper Queen Con. solidated Mining company to recover slao, ,03e.S5 alleged to be due for hack taxes and accumulated costs.
 The shit was for an old tax bill for the year 1901 and was the result of the action taken that year by the Terri. torial board of equalization when the mining property of the Copper Queen was raised in the sum of S3,260 from an original assessment of 4sos, ,l39, agreed upon by the company. and the county assessor. lcf -rr rsf... tu..
 The point on which Judge Nave gave judgment for tho miaing company vas the fact that the board of supervisors, in raising the valuation of 66 mining claims, had Jumped them all in bunch instead of setting down each parcel and tract with it's specific valuation opposite.
 After the decision by Judge Nave At
 torney General Clark made a motion for new trial which will be heard some time during the summer. Mir, Clark stated before leaving Tombstone that the ease would be appealed to the supreme court and would probably be heard in that tribunal in January next.
