 MILITIA INSPEcTlON.-Companies B and A National Guard of Arizona were inspected yesterday in the arm
 ory by Col McClintock, of the first
 regiment. the commander being &C., companied by his staff officer. There are but two days only under the laws of Arizona, when a parade of the mili- tia is compulsory and these are Memo rial D and Washington's birthday, on both of which occasions the territorial soldiery must turn out for inspection or parade or both. Both the Phoenix companies are growing in numbers and also in efficiency under the command of Captains Parks and Grinstead.
 IAN ARIZONA NEWSPAPER."- Under the heading, An Arizona Newspaper the Chester, (Pa.) Times says: The Times is in receipt of copy of the eighteenth anniversary number of the Phoenix (Arizona) Re- publican. In honor of the birthday, the publishers had installed a new du- plex perfecting press, linotype machine. and had the entire plant housed in a modern building. The equipment is now one of the finest to be found in the Southwest and the hustling prop rietors deserve all the prosperity which is stamped on the face of the publica- tion. The paper also has a guaranteed circulation which it is not afraid to publish.
 A YOUNG SHIP OWNER.-Charlie Lorraine left last evening for San Francisco and Berkeley where he pro- poses to spend the summer. He pro- poses to go into the transportation business, having become the proprietor of a line of craft to ply on San Fran cisco bay, consisting of a gasoline launch. When he isn't busy moving the people of San Francisco from one side of the bay to the other, he will be engaged in taking a course in the Berkeley preparatory school. He is accompanied by his mother who will see that he does not let his matime enterprise interfere too much with his school duties.
 AN ERRONEOUS AccOUNT-The Republican yesterday morning printed what purported to be an account of the Baptist picnic of the day before. The story was contributed to the of flee and like many articles of that kind was not given the careful at tentiOn which should be be slowed on all matter sent in for publication Some objection has since been made to statement contained in the ac- count that neither the pastor of the church nor the superintendent of he Sabbath school were present and that strangers received no attention at all | On the contrary it has since been stated by those who were present that 1 though Rev. MT Coats, the pastor may not have been present at the l particular time described by the con- tributor he was on the grounds nearly l all day. The superintendent who is a | business man was present a part of | the time and in fact it was thought | that provision had been made for | all who might, come, feel that l they were at home. Regret has been | that any visitor might have | been overlooked.
 MONEY ORDER BUSINESS-The | money order business this year is | holding up good and strong, unusu- | ally late in the season. On Monday | Df last week 1O6 orders were issued, | which is the largest ever at this | -ime of the year. Last year the only | single days in which over 100 orders were issued were in March when for about ten days the record exceeded | hat number. The past week, which ;losed business Friday night, has been a remarkable one in another re- ;pect. It has been the most abnor- nally normal week that can be re-
