SMITH RETURNS
PLEASED WITH GLOBE
Says Metropolis OF ella Is On
the Verge Of a Pros
porous Boom.

Hoval A. Smith returned from Globe
Christmas morning, where he has
been look ng after his mining interests
in that district. He also visited Sill
yer City, where he has large interests.
During ais absence he took bonds on
several important properties, which
means much to that section of the ter
Titory.
Il was very much pleased to set
the marked activity which prevails in
that section of the territory" said
MIR. Smith yesterday. Business is
certainly on the up grade in a mark
ed degree, and business men are feel
ing better in all lines. There is con-
siderable building tdsre and the city
of Globe seems TO be on the verge of
a noticeable boom. They claim 10000
population over there, and | have no
doubt that there are that many PEG
pie there. 1t is growing fast, accord
ing to the best reports.
In speaking of the mining business,
Mr.. Smith states that there is Splendid
progress being made. Much interest
is being taken by eastern capital in
that district, and there will be new
investments during the coming year.
The firm of Rowland & Smith has
taken several important bonds on
properties recently, consisting of the
Live Oak, the Eureka and others. The
Globe Consolidated is expecting to
turn out at least $50 tons this month
and probably 1900 by the following
month This property is in excellent
shape, and is making fine sAowings.

REMINGTON DID VERY
CLEVER DETECTIVE WORK
In Capturing Thieves Who
Have Been Systematically
RObhing Merchants,

Spike" Remington of the Copper
Queen store force is being compIi-
mented by peace officers and friends
upon the cool and quick-thinBing con
duct whereby he landed two thieves
in jail.
AS related in the Review yesterday,
he held their attention, after deciding
that they were attempting to ''bor
row" some of the stores stock, until
he got an officer on the phone. Officer
Frank Johnson thinks they have been
plundering local stores for some time,
selling their stolen goods in the resi-
dence districts. One of them had on
his person a new silk handkerchief
that had been in Schwartz Bros. stock,
but no one at the latter store coald
remember selling either of the pair
anything. One of them also wore
a pair of expensive patent leather
shoes that the officers think were
stolen from some Bisbee store.

AMUSEM ENTS.

Raymond Teal Coming to orpheum.
Manager King, Of the Orpheum, an
the special engagement at
his slJaSiOus playhouse, opening Wed
nesday, December Both, of the big
Raymond Teal Musical Comedy com
pany, numbering thirty people, in Will
lam b. FreedlandeT's musical comedy
sensation, The Girl from Bagdad."
The Teal company is here for one
week and will produce three of the
biggest mus cal shows of the season:
The Girl from Bagdad," Gay New
York" and The Man Behind"
The opening bill is of the Weber
and Fields order, introducing two
clever Dutch comedians, Friedlander
and Knight, who work with a chorus
Of twenty viyacious singing and dane
ing girls. headed by the sensational
singing sOubret, Nan Halperin, who
last season was the feature with John
F. Fischer's Silver Slipper. The Ell
Paso papers, where the company just
closed a most phenomenal weeks
engagement, claims Miss Halperin to
be the peer of the redoubtable Eva
Tanguay, and a most accomplished
actress.
The large chorus and Pony Ballet OF
brOilers is a feature of the Teal show
and will be heard in some exception
ally catchy musical numbers, written
especially for this show by Friedland-
er, Who this season is producing for
MIR. Teal.
Raymond Teal will be remembered
by many playgoers here as the feature
with Hi Henry and William Vests
minstreals, and his song Not Because
Your Hair is Curly" is still whistling
idol. Teal is starred as a prince of
black face comedians, and will be
seen as Ginger in The Man Behind,
role that gives him an opportunity
to show his versatility as a burnt cork
comedian of the refined order.
His songs and monolOgues are I'M
mense, and today is the only black
face comedian that works with a
chorus of dancing girls.
The Teal attraction is a $1.50 show
but owing to the policy that Mr.. King
has set in making all week stands at
his house a top soc price, the same
/ will prevail during this engagement
no advance being made for this at
traction. The seats for the opening
snow will be on sale tomorrow at the
box office, the bill changing every sec
Ond night.

be a female Nat Goodwin. To appear

Cleveland Complains of Ex-Presi-
dents Treatment.

Like child's outgrown toy buried
in the family garrett, the American
ex-president is a melancholy product
Of our government system"
This sentence expresses the one OF
a remarkable article written by Grow
er Cleveland in the current number
of The Youths Companion on the
fate of our ex-presidents.
According to Cleveland, the people
instead of treating their former pres
dents as relics of past honors, seem
disposed TO continue them in service
so far as to seriously interfere with
their untrammeled return to private
citizenship.
ION account of fhe imperative
feeling abroad he says, the man
who has occupied the great office oil
president is expected to hold in trust
for his fellow citizens certain
amount of dignity in his conduct and
manner OF life, which he must protect
against loss or deterioration. This
limits the ex-president in his choice
of occupation and means of liveli-
hood and enforces a scale of living
on his part frequently less in keep
ing with his financial ability than
with the popular ideas of ex-presi-
Dental propriety.'"

How it Works

A Texas paper, in speaking of the
course pursued by New England
manufacturers and the more courag-
eous procedure of large employers
of labor in the West, INDUCES in
some observations that are OF highest
importance to all classes concerned
in any kind OF business, large or
small. Contrasting the two, the Gal
weston News says:

Transporting interests were 70 do like

man whose wage is cut means re-

mand for groceries, meat, bread,

products of industry.
Every man discharged means. o
that extent, an absolute destruction

tiles. 1t makes business bad for the
retailer, which in turn makes poor
business for the wholesaler, and is
presently felt by the manufacturer in
the shape OF lack of orders. Con-
| fronted by these conditions. both the

to reduce expenses by discharging
some of their employees and cutting
the wages of others, thus aggravating

tunity TO labor and earn money, il

Gave Life to Save Others.

Miss Carmeia Mondieu gave up
her life early Sunday morning in an
effort to save property in her charge
and, as she believed, the lives of
Others.
Fire started in building in Pitts
burg of which Miss Mondieu was
janitress. Upon seeing flames the
woman hurried across a fire escape,
giving an alarm at each door. When
she reached the room where the IRE
started, evidently intending to shut
off the gas from the stove that caused
the fire the floor gave way under her
weight and she fell into mass OF
fire Firemen carried her charred
body to the street.

and its acquisition and distribution
were voiced Saturday and caused
much comment, came forward Sun
day with more suggestions for the
rigid limitation of swollen fortunes
Mr. Crane declared himself rnequivo-

an inheritance tax which, in practi-
cal combination, would make the
huge accumulation of money an i'm
possibility in this country.
Particular stress was laid upon the

Decay of Population in France.

The annual statistics of population
in France, published this month in
the Journal Ofhciel, show that the
decrease in the birth rate is steadily
maintained The number of births
in 1906 was sO6,s in the period
1S96-19O5 it averaged S3a,S43, in the
period Immediately after the German
war it averaged 100000. The abso-
lutte increase of population in 1906
excess of births over deaths) was
26,651; in the period 1s96-19O5 it av-
eraged $4,000 In Germany in 1905
the absolute increase was 792, 1873; in
tria-Hungary it was close on half
million, and in the United King
dom 493,S7s.
Dr. Bertillon, head of the Paris sta
tistical department, makes some very
gloomy remarks on the new figures.
IF the birth rate does not pick up"
he cries, our country is lost" He
denies that other nations show the
same tendency to proportionate
shrinkage Other civilized nations he
asserts, have never increased in high
er proportion than at present Ger
manys present rate of increase is
fourteen thousand; thirty years ago
it was only twelve a thousand; the
other civilized countries show similar
| figures" He ascribes the shrinkage
entirely TO the low birth rate, the
death rate comparing favorably with
that found elsewhere 1--WE are hort
of 10000 births a year to put us or
a level with the proportionate in
crease OF other countries. At present
we have three births to family;
what we need is four" This view is
borne out by the fac. that while the
birth rate in 1900 fell $4,000 below
that of the preceding period the mar
riage rate rose by more than 10000
