From Globe comes the welcome news that J. N. Porter, president of the First National bank of that city, who was forced to suspend during the recent financial slump, will reopen the bank soon after the first of the year. J. N. Porter is one of the best known fnanciers in southern Arizona and at no time was there any doubt of the ability of his bank to pay the depositors all that was due them. Be sides his bank he has a large amount of valuable property, including thous- ands of range cattle on the San Car los reservation. The many friends of Mir. Porter will be glad to learn that he will soon be able to resume business with an increased banking capital.

In nine out of ten cases your infart prodigy is a musician. Among paint CTS the prodigy of prodigies was Sir Thomas Lawrence. One of his earliest pictures, 1t is said, was produced in 1775, quite early enough, for the love. ly cherub who painted it was then six years old He was getting on in life tottering on the verge of twelve, when the quality crowded his studio al Bath. The fates were kind to the in fant prodigy when they made his fa ther landlord of the Black Bull, De vizes, the inn where fashionable men and women called for rest and refresh. ment on their way to the waters.

The year is closing and the people of Jerome are to be congratulated up on the fact that they have been gen. erally prosperous
 Many of them have made small fortunes, all have been provided with the wherewithal to pay their bills and anyone reported to have been in need has been speedily relieved.
 We have witnessed a panic that was sad in it's wrecks elsewhere, but here Fortune willed that all demands be met with coin and it so transpired.
 Especially is Jerome uo be congrat- ulated upon it's mining ventures. All prospects upon which work has Oeen started within the year have con tinued without interruption, and oth- CTS, that begun operations in 1856, have proceeded undismayed.

(Arizona Republican,

It is not at all likely that the Ne yada legislature will consent to ask for a retention of the federal troops at Goldfield Most of the legislators as well as most of the county officers, especially those in the more popu- lous counties, owe their places to the support of the Western Federation of Miners and federation officials have vigorously expressed their opposition to the presence of the troops. For the same reason it is unlikely that the legislature will adopt any other measure for the suppression of law lessness; such a measure for instance as bill providing for ranger force, similar to that of this territory. par ticularly if it should be left to the governor to make up the force.
 But the failure of the legislature to act might in itself constitute an emergency which might warrant the United States government in grant ing the protection asked for by cfti- zens of Nevada While under the con stitntion federal troops cannot be sent into a state for the preservation of order without the request of the l legislature, or of the executive, when the legislature can be convened, if t became evident that the legislature by it's inactivity were encouraging an insurrection against the officers of the state, way would be easily found for the introduction of troops.
 But on this theory, the troops al ready at Goldfet ~-ill hardly be de tained there beyond the three-weeks limit fixed by the president unless the legislature should request their indefinite stay. There has SC far been no insurrection nor any sign of any But if one should ensue after the departure of the troops, then the government would perhaps be war ranted in returning the troops under article s4 of the constitution, on the request of the governor alone, the assumption being that the legislature could hot be convened to any useful purpose.

True Charity.

Every good act is charity. Giving water to the thirsty is charity. Re moving stones and thorns from the road is charity. Exhorting your fel. low men to virtuous deeds is charity Smiling in your brothers face is char. ity. Putting a wanderer in the right path is charity.

While the national republican com mittee practically kicks Arizona out of the convention, the national demo cratic committee sees that this terri tory gets it's full representation ill it's national convention. There is al ways a chanee in politics to be on the square or to take an unfair ad- vantage. The longer it goes, the more it looks as if the national repub- lican committee must know who those delegates from Arizona want for president before they say how many delegates there shall be.

A tired Harvard senior contributes
to the Harvard Crimson a protest
against having a bell rung in the near
neighborhood Of his dormitory at Z a.

ing else 1t is for his explanation OF

burns.
ut seems to be the general opinion
he writes, among seniors who have
the privilege of roomlng IN Hollis or
Stoughton that the o. snlete custom of
having prolonged BEL I'm ing at z a.

should be discontinued II is unkind
to oblige an octogenarian bell ringer
to be disturbed unnecessarily early
every morning., and it is certainly I'M
reasonable to oblige him in turn to
disturb all the students of these two
dormitories by a noise that has no OBJ
ject.
Most men in college do the bulk OF

Wild Goat Of Europe.

The common wild goat is almost ex-

where he used to be commonly found.
The Piedmont mountains appear to be
his last refuge, and ever there he has
to be protected In the royal park OF
Gressoney, where about 800 head are

One of the cantons are urging the
federal government to find resources
for reacclimating the wild goat.

made, but the animal does not take
kindly to them.-London Globe.

LEGEND or SANTA CLAUS.
Stockings Hung on Door OF Mother
Abbess In French Converts,

There grew up a custom In Chris
tian countries of giving presents in
secret on the Vigil of st. Nicholas.
In Italy it was called the Zopasta,
which means in Spanish a shoe, be-
cause the gifts were put into shoes
to surprise people when they should
put them on in the morning.
In many French converts the board
ers used to place each her silk stock
ing at the door of the room Of the
Mother Abbess, recommending them
selves at the same time to st. Nicho-
las. And in Germany a boy dressed
as a bishop would go round in vest
ments and mitre and fill the stockings
hung up.
This solemnity of the boy bishop
came TO be keut here with much care
and ceremony on the feast OF st.
Nicholas to commemorate his youth
and his patronage of children. In
Salisbury Cathedral there is, or was,
a monument to one of these boy bish-
ops who died during his term of Of
fee. The same custom was observed
in Spain and in Switzerland until the
end of the eighteenth century. At
one place in England the convent OF
Godstowe, in O~xfordshire, public pray
ers were said by a little girl dressed
as an abbess.
The custom, stopped here first by
Henry VIII. and afterward by Queen
Elizabeth, was in a different form
carried on by the Dutch in America
and became in the end the secular
lied ceremony we still use here OF
Santa Claus, a person dressed in
Dutch or German winter clothes OF
the sixteenth century.

Moth a HYpnotist.

glittering hyrnotizing machine OF
crystal and silver, did you ever know
that hypnotisn is practiced among

well, it is a fact. A queen bee
can hypnotic her whole hive when
ever she wants to. She makes a curl
Gus humming sound, and within a
moment or two every bee in the col

also a hypnotist of great power. This

MANY PENNY STAMPS
SOLD AT THE OFFICE

The Perth Amboy post Office has
never in It's history experienced such
rush IN business as during the past
three days. The mail has been tre-
mendous, especially in the postal
card line.
Postmaster Tice said this morning
that he thought the town must be
nearly sold out in postal cards. There
has been an avalanche OF postals the
past two days.
The regular force of clerks, to-
gether with three substitutes and the
postmaster himself, worked over
time last night to get out the mail
When Mr. Tice returned from his
supper he found over $4,000 letters
and cards waiting to be sent out.
About 1900 one-cent stamps
were sold yesterday. This is consid-
cred an enormous sale for a single
window in a city of this size. 1t
kept one clerk busy almost continu-
ally to hand them out.
Postmaster Tice estimates that the
business this year will exceed that of
last year by twenty-five or thirty per
cent.
Although the Adams and United
States Express Companies are doing
a large business this week 1t is es-
timated that it is not quite as large
as last years. They have extra wag-
