 An item in the debt of gratitude owed by Arizona to President Roose- welt was understood to be his selec- tion of the speaker for governor and for holding him in office against his will. The governor in proof that he had been a great financial asset to the territory adverted again to the mine taxing agitation and legislation in which he claimed glory which at one time he would have spurned and did try to spurn. But this is a matter more fully treated in another column this morning. At the conclusion of the governors address he announced that nobody had knocked the chip of his shoulder yet.

The Voters of All Parties Laid Aside All Other Business for Politics.

Philadelphia. April 1.-The pri- mary elections of all political parties in Pennsylvania were held throughout the state today. Each party elected delegates to the national and state conventions. and nominated candi- dates for congress and the legislature. In addition to all the siXty-seven counties. nearly all of the municipali- ties of the commonwealth named can didates for minor offices.
 The last republican convention had endorsed United States Senator Knox for the presidential nomination. There was no contest in that convention over the presidential preference. but there were numerous sharp skirmishes over individuals who make up Penn sylvania's delegation to Chicago. There was a fight in the democratic party over whether the delegation to Denver convention shall be instruct ed for Bryan or go uninstructed. Re- turns tonight late. are scattered, and give no indication what the state con- ventiOn may do.

How to Manicure.

Taking care of the fingers is like talk ing care of any other part of ones self; fl means that few minutes must be spent upon them every day in order to keep them in good condition.

Rub Der gloves are of great use to the wOm- an who does some of her own housework; they will do more 10 save The hands than any amount of manicurils will do.
 To take proper care Of the malls one must have the proper instruments. but these are neither numerous nor expen- siVe The first and most important are the scissors These should be Of the very best steel. and never used for anything butsmnnicuring Besides these. one must have orange wood sticks. q nail file, some emery boards and q chamois buffer.
