TOPICS OF INTEREST.

An interesting address entitled "The
Why's and Wherefores Of the Automo-
bile will be delivered at the New
York School of Automobile Engineers
by Thomas D. Hanauer. M. E., chief
instructor of the school, on March 8.
He will outline in a general way the
cost, care and operation of an auto
mobile, using parts to illustrate his
lecture. The building at lac West
Fifty-sixth street, New York, will be
thrown open for inspection and the
lecture will be free.
1t is understood that, if the present
plans are followed out, the Narragan-
sett Park Company, which is building
a racing track for automobiles at the
Providence Park grounds, will start
operations in the very near future. 1t
is expected that the new track will be
of the best in the country.

JOHN RYAN 4 THIEF
 OF VEGETARIAN TASTES
Ills Plunder Consisted Largely of Breakfast Foods.

John Ryan, lately a resident of the county poor farm, was arrested yes- terday for giving expression to his hunger. He was charged with the burglary of the house of William focke, in the southern part of the town, and the theft of a misceIIane- ous lot of articles, to wit: A suit Of clothes, pound of tea, a half sack Of flour, package of rolled oats, a package of wheat flakes, a quantity of Dr. Prices food, a small lot of Force and eight pounds of meal.
 The fact that he also stole a pack age of Postum proves that he is not a member of a union, especially not 9 member in good standing. An in- ventory of his plunder seems to in- dicate that MT. Yocke is a gentleman of vegetarian habits; that he esehews meat, though he does not chew it; that he sympathizes with those mem bers of the legislature who are trying to trim the claws of the butcher trust.
 There will be a further investiga- tion in Justice Johnstone's court of the predatory performance of Ryan. Some of the enemies of the county administration are inclined to side with Ryan on the ground that his theft confirms what they have so often said, that the inmates of the poor farm do not get enough to eat

 Saturating the stomach with vile drugs and obnoxious nostrums never cured catarrh. They don't reach the spot Sprays and touches and the like may give temporary relief, but they never cure-they don't reach the spot.
 In order to cure catarrh, you must reach the affected part, and you must reach 1t with something that, when passing over the entire inflamed and germ ridden membrane, will kill every catarrh germ along the route.
 You can't cure catarrh without kill ing the catarrh germs, and you can't kill the germs unless you can get the killer where the germs are.
 Hyomei is a killer of catarrh germs, because when you breathe it in. its antiseptic and germicide properties reach every nook and crevice of the mucous membrane, from the mouth and nose deep into the cells of the lungs.

Few of us can afford to be idle. and to those who work, a sound, strong back is a necessity. A bad back prevents rest or sleep. and aches all day with a dull, tired throb.
 Don't think because sharp twinges strike you when you lift, or twist about, or reach, that your work is too hard for you. Bad backs are common in every occupation. Those aches and twinges are only Natures warning that the kidneys need help.
 It is easy to tell if the kidneys are sick, and are not thoroughly doing their work of Altering the blood. Backache is an early warning. Head ache, dizzy spells, puffy swellings under the eyes or in the ankles and legs, nervousness, irritability, rheu- matic pain and tired feelings also tell of the kidney ills.
 Examine the urine. If it is eX- tremely pale and light, the kidneys are not getting out all of that uric poison. If it is dark colored and thick. passages too frequent, or too scanty, if there is any sediment de- posted when it stands, if passages burn or pain, that is proof enough that the kidneys need attention.

A novel feature of the trip is that the entire distance to Globe will be made on the nigh speed. The speed lever was thrown and locked at Tempe. where the start was made. If the whole journey is made in this manner it will be a remarkable demonstration for the Oldsmobile, as every one who has tried to take the hills between Phoenix and Roosevelt on the high speed will appreciate
 The car was shipped to Tempe on the noon train and the start made from there. Dinner was had in Mesa and Fish Creek reached a little before , p. m. only one stop was made and that was to adjust the brakes. Globe will be reached early today if the roads are passable and no accidents met with.

ITALIAN GOVERNMENT
 MOVED ID INQUIRE
What Has Become of the Estate of
 Charles Saiar.

Colonel C. W. Johnstone yesterday received a letter addressed to Hon. Coroner" from A. Rossi the royal Italian consul general at Denver, mak- ing inquiry about the estate of Chas. Salari, who died last summer The tone of the letter was querulous and even fault-finding. Sienor Rossi had learned that Charles Salari, an Italian of the city of Milano had died here, leaving an estate of $2,OO0, and the Italian government in contravention of Article IS of the treaty between the United States and his govern ment, had not been informed in the premises, There had been, in the opinion of the consul general, a dere- fiction of duty somewhere, possibly in the office of Hon. Coroner"
 At any rate, it has "caused the Italian government to request this of flee to inquire in order to ascertain to whose responsibility the inconven. fence must be imputed"
 Hon. Coroner" .wrote in reply that Mir Salari had died under the com petent supervision of practiclng phy- sicians, and that, therefore, there were no duties for Hon Coroner" to perform. He had enjoyed no respon- sibility in the matter, and his atti- tude toward the death of MT. Salari was that of a private citizen
 Moreover Hon. Coroner" intimated that the affair was of no concern to the Italian government, since MT Salari was not an Italian citizen He had renounced his allegiance to the king of Italy nearly forty years ago, and in 1873, in California, he had be- come a naturalized American. and had resided in Arizona for more than a, generation, enjoying and exercising all the rights of an American citi- zen.

MT. and Mrs. Frank Hilderbran, C. s. Scott and Hughie Hughes started for Globe at noon yesterday in an Oldsmobile car. A telephone message received in Phoenix last night an nounced that the party had reached Fish Greek without serious accident. and that they would pass the night there. It is quite probable that the party will experience some difficulty on leaving Fish Creek. as heavy rains are reported from the northeast and the Roosevelt road is usually in bad condition after a storm.
