Burned to Death.

One of the saddest fatalities that has ever occurred in Yuma was that which resulted in the death of Miss Zarsky about 3 o'clock the morning of the 4th
 from burns received while destroying some rubbish in the back yard of the Imperial Hotel on Friday afternoon.
 Miss Zarsky was preparing to go on a visit to~her mother and sister in Cleve- land, Ohio. A bout o'clock Miss Zarsky had occasion tJ burn some rubbish. A tired in a light silk kimona, a sudden gust of wind swept the flames against her fragile gaI mentS and in an instant she was envelop-d. Frightened beyond the power of selr-pOssession, she ran screaming through the hall of the hotel setting fire to the draperies and utterly unervinE several ladies, who seemed powerless to render any aid. Mrs Cav thore, however, regaining her presence of mind, threw q large rug around the unfortunate woman, and at this mo- ment ThCS. Drenpan arrived and helped to subdue the flames.
 Dr. Alp John, who was at once called, after an examination said the woman would die. The body was terribly burr ed, there being hardly an inch square of flesh that was not scared by the cruel flames. All that could be done was 10 alleviate her suffering until death iE- -teryemed.
 Miss Johanna Zarsky came to Yuma nearly two years ago to take charge of the millinery department at Sanguin- etti's. During herllife here she acquired large acquQintancrship and made friends of all who came in contact with her. She was anticipating the visit to Der Ohio home with the keenest pleas ure and Lad expected to leave for Cleveland within a few days, when the unlocked for tragedy cruelty intercepted
 It is said by close friends of Miss Zarsky that she had Il strong premOn- ition of some impending danger, or calamity and had for weeks been invOl- untarily under the influence of thatfear, and the vague forebOdingS brought her much unrest and anxiety and loss of sleep. As the time approached near for her departure, however, Miss Ear sky seemed to throw off the evil spell and became more cheerful. On Friday morning she laughingly said to Mr. Feggett, the funeral director for Sang uinetti, "VYell, Mir. Feggett, l am go- ing home tomorrow; you will never get me now"
 Ernest Zlrsky, brother, and William E. Fielitz, brother-in-la of Miss Zarsky, arrived from Ohio today and the funeral will be held tomorrow at 3:3O D. m. Funeral services will be held at the NJ. E. church.
 Out of respect for the dead girl, the store of E. F. Sanguinetti will be closed during the obsequies.

OLD EMPLOYEES MAY
APPEAL TO PRESIDENT
Bookbinders Not Satisfied
With Ruling.

Washington, Aug. S.-The civil ser
vice commission after holding the mat
ter in allegiance for some months has
reached a decision adverse to extend
ing the one year eligibility of the 400
bookbinders discharged from the gov,
eminent printing office in April and
May. 1907.
This means that the discharged
men and women, some of whom, have
been in the government service for a
great many years, will have to stand
for another examination and If they
obtain reinstatement it must be in
the same manner that an apprentice
would. No preference is to be shown
on account of former service.
Dissatisfied with the decision of the
commission, President James L. Fee
ney Of the Bookbinders' Union, states
that that organization will take the
matter direct to President Roosevelt
in the hope that he will recognize the
merit of many years of service on the
part of old government employees.

OUR LANGUAGE UNIFORM.
While Great Britain. For Instance,
Has Many Different Languages.

1t has been observed that the Ian
guage spoken in the United States is
remarkably uniform. True. there are
many dialects, but Great Britain, less
in area than any one of half dozen of
our states, contains such very differ
ent languages as English. Welsh and
the Gaelic of the Scottish highlands, to
say nothing of the provincial dialects
of Cornwall and Yorkshire and the
unique speech of the London cockney,
while in this country. with its vast ex-
panse of territory. its settlement by
Spanish, French, Dutch and Swedish
colonists and its millions of immigrants
drawn from nearly every country, large
and small, all over the world, there is
far greater uniformity of speech than
in any other land of equal area and
population.
The causes can be readily seen. The
public schools have made us a nation
of readers, and the press has supplied
books and papers without limit. Press
associations have done their part to-
ward giving a uniform and fairly good
tone to the newspaper language Of the
day. The telegraph, the telephone and
cheap postage have brought distant
parts of the country into quick and
easy communication, and so have aid
ed in teaching a common language.
The railroad has penetrated every cor
ner OF the land and made us a nation
of travellers. Countless human shut
ties thus are thrown daily across the
land in every direction, carrying with
them the threads of thought and speech
and doing their part to make one pat
tern of the whole. No doubt our maps,
which still present SO many different
kinds of names, will in time lose the
strangeness and the foreign air" that
are so noticeable now.-H. NJ. Kingery
in st. Nicholas.

that bound her to the girIhood life She
was a devout Methodist and knew her
Bible from cover to cover" When
she was asked to name the town she
turned to the New Testament for sug-
gestiou. There. in the third chapter OF
Luke. first verse. she found this: Now
