THE PEOPLES MONEY.

The ms )rity OF the members of the
Common Council voted this week to ap-
propriste $500 to meet the deficiency
created by the committee representing
"Home.coming Week" When you
examine the recorded vote you see those
who will represent the city's interest.
As to the city's liability in the matter
nobody but those who voted for the appro-
pristlOn can see it. The matter reua1I
with the people. See that those who
would vote the city's money for pro-
isct like this are relegsted to the rear
aud kept there. They knew how much
money they had to spend and If they
chose to exceed that amount let those
responsible meet the deficiency. The
argument that the revenue OF the city
was raised bv a license lax increased on
a few, is poor, aud that as long as these
people we're tue benefsctOrs they should
vote for it, is still poorer. Compared
with other cities Alexandra saloon
keepers are blessed, and If the advice OF
some members of Council WAS taken they
would have to pay $500 yearly to the
city. They now pay little moIe than
a third of this smount-while some cities

ment of President Taft on the occasion
of his visit to that CITY. Suppose the
committee had spent $40, 900 would the
authorities have stood for IL? The
Home coming Week" committee ask
ed Council for a certain amount. They
got it. They knew, or ought to, at
least. have known The amount of money
at their disposal. They now want the
city to appropriate four times as much
as the amount originally asked for.
There has never been but one published
report taking in the expenses OF the
festivities; that was by Secretary Wed
derburu, and it seems that his committee
was the only one that kept within Gounds
and had mouey left when the affair was
over. Those who would tax the whole
people for a scheme like the one above
mentioned deserve the fate which will
naturally come to them-deftat at the
polls. x

SUICIDE OF MRS. RUIZ.

Dispatches from London tell OF the
suicide in a hotel there some days ago
of Mrs. Ruiz, the divorced wife OF
Antonio Ruiz, a secretary Of the Cuban
Legation at Washington, whose name
was mentioned in connection with the
divorce suit of Mrs. Alfred Vanderbilt.
The deceased is said to have been the
daughter of Missouri farmer who, like
a lot of other iarmers' daughters, pos
sessed of good figure and good looks,
had gravitated to New York and gone
on the stage. She was Mary O'Bden
when she went there, but her appearance
on the stsge was made under the name
of Ruth Hilton.
While chorus girl in a Broadway
show in 1903 che attracted the attention
of Ruiz, who wss young Cuban with
good deal of money and attached to
the Cuban Legation. 1t wasn't long
after Mr.. Ruiz caDght sight of her that
the pair we're married. The marriage
took place on August II, 1908, aud
Ruiz and his bride sailed for CUBA. DE
introduced her to his friends in Havana,
bat before long they returned to New
York, and then it was apparently that
Ruiz fonnd that his wife had had
rather queer past, and that her name
/ wasn't Ruth Hilton, as, it is said, ne
had been led to believe. She had been
living under several names 10 different
Be adway hotels, and after discovering
this the couple separated.
In the compliant fled by Mrs. Van
derbilt in her suit for divorce last year,
she alleged that her husband had been
guilty of misconduct with "Au unkowr
woman" at Richmond. At the trial.
Harry Kempster, who had been Mr.
VauderbilPs valet for many years, anC
was Mrs. Vsuderbilt's chief witness, test
lifed that Mr.. Vanderbilt had beer
guilty of misconduct with a womsI
whose name he did not know on hi
private car, the Wayfarer, in October
| 1906. on a trip from Norfolk to Rich
mond. Benedict Clarke, another Wit
ness. testified to having met Mr.. Van
derbilt in the company of woman VII
was introduced to him as "Mrs. Raiz"
The DAY the divorce decree was signe
Mr.. Vanderbilt sailed for Europe, wher
he has spent most of his time since, an
Mrs Ruiz sailed for London a fe'

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

Edwin Ginn.. the publisher. of Bos- ton has set aside a million dollars for the promotion of universal peace.
 Mir. Ginn. at dinner in Boston. said recently:
 Universal peace will cdme. thanks to the scientific spirit. The scientific spirit is discOntented. It attacks im- perfection wherever imperfection ex- ists. IL is an improvement on the hopeless spirit of resignation.
 "The difference between the fine. energetic. modern spirit and the lais- sez-faire. old-fashioned one is well H. frustrated by the remark of an old farmer
 ''The old farmer. as he prepared to buy good insecticide. said:
 ." T used Co think that this potato disease was dispensation of Divine Providence. but now I believe it is a bug"

IN ONE COTTAGE s3 YEARS.
An Amazing Record of Economy and
 Contentment.

wonder if man should have any praise for spending all his life in the hamlet of Sheep-lane in Bedfordshire. I should say yes, for surely it is not easy to live as John Robinson has for ninety-three years in cottage facing a bare by-road wher there is no friend ly traffic.
 John Robinson and his wife have lived seventy years happily in their little cottage facing the bare road and the empty fields. For them the twentieth century does not exist, but they are quite content without it They claim no credit for having clothed and fed eight children on an income which was never more than S3 a week. and was often only g. They have noth- ing to complain about.
 Every morning for over fifty years the man has got up at o'clock or whereabouts. and walked two miles to his work on the farm at the top of the hill: and in the evening he has walked back again.
 His wife. who is 92. has made clothes all her life. and mended and cooked She has cleaned the church for nearly fifty years. and she has washed the surplices every fortnight She has only been paid S15 a year for this. but she has been glad to do 1t. She has had no pleasures. or. at least, no pleasures that are bought She has been nowhere, not even to London and she has seen nothing that cannot be seen in Sheeplane or the little coun- try town five miles away. She has keep the cottage clean. and got meals ready. and washed up. and so on. She has fed eight children on about S1.50 a week or less. She has found time to read the Bible.
 There is little more to be said about them. They have had no adventures or unusual. experiences. and they re- member nothing of any importance. The old man remembers his first job, but he has quite forgotten who was king then. He was 10. and he had to go into the fields to spud thistles out of some beans. He remembers doing that. and he remembers being very lonely T sat down and had a good cry" he says.
 There is really nothing more. All that can Dc said is that after seventy years of marriage MT. and Mrs. John Robinson are still in their little cot tage at Sheep-l lane. and have nothing to complain about.-E. C. Palmer in the London Daily Mail.

4 HUMILiATING ERROR.

 And the women were mistaken. and their mistake was humiliating It re- minds me of a Savoy supper.
 'Supping at the Savoy after the theater were a man, his wife and a small party. The wife. while course of lamb chops was being served. spied friend in the alcove overlooking the Thames and went to speak to her a moment the two tables not being more than six or seven wards apart
 While the wife stood talking ani- matedly to her friend. the waiter at her husbands table removed the lamb chop before he had finished it. When he notice it he exclaimed in a loud voice:
 Goodness. where's my lamb?'
 His wife heard him above the noise of the resaItrant and. smiling at him sweotly. she called:

Fifth, because dis fractions have greatly increased in American life in a generation.

DIES WITH FORTUNE
 WITHIN HIS REACH
G. w. oUIsE sUccUMes TO FALL
 INTO OLD SHAFT.
His Properties in the Winifred District Were Rapidly increasing in Value.

Just as he was on the point of real
 iZing fortune from his mining claim.
 which he had held for many years
 George w. Guise. an aged prospector died yesterday morning at the city hal
 from the effects of a fall into a dis
 used shaft of the Union Mining com
 pany in the Winifred district.
 Guise had been a miner in the dis trict for many years. He held twelve valuable claims just west and north of the Fortuna properties. He worked these claims practically alone and held to them with the firm conviction that some day they would bring him sec ond fortune and permit him to retire for the rest of his life. Guise lost ev- cry dollar he had in Denver during the panic of '93. He was at that time building a SO room apartment house and several other buildings when the crash came. He then took up the claims in the Winifred district. Some time ago he was offered Sl5.OOO for a part of his holdings He refused this and a little later refused $25.OO0 in cash. He continued begging away at his claims till Tuesday when he ac- cidentally fell into an old shaft. break ing both legs. dislocating his shoulder and inflicting injuries from which he died after being brought to Phoenix by wagon. a distance of twenty miles.
 Guise had been camping alone and looking after his properties. Tuesday. Superintendent Nichols of the Fortuna. asked Guise to look after his property kNhiln ha rn DhAnpfx- ed over to Nichols camp and found there were no matches. It was just growing dark so he went to the bunk house of the Union where he was supplied with matches and stopped long enough to take supper He start ed back in the dark about o'clock Some time later Tom Treadwell and Walter Hastings of the Old Kentuck mine heard the dogs barking and went out to see what had happened. They were led by the dogs to the mouth of the old shaft and heard Guise groan- ing at the bottom. They got ladders and timber and found Guise- uncon- scious at the bottom He had fallen about twenty-five feet. Road Overseer Linville and William Lewis had their HaSOi dN Ailt ana agreed at once to bring Guise to Phoenix. the nearest point to a physician.
 During the long twenty mile ride Guise regained consciousness. He was numb with cold and told the men to hurry. They drove first to the Com mercial hotel where J. H. Kay. an old friend of Guise, was called up out of bed. for it was then o'clock in the morning. Kay told them the quickest way to get medical attendance for Guise was to take him to the city hall This was done and Dr. Beauchamp re- sponded and did what he could for Guise. Arrangements were made to send Guise to the Sisters hospital but he died just as the ambulance went for him.
 Guise has a brother living in Eliza beth. Colo. and another younger brother living somewhere in Maryland The latter is said to he a well known politician and a man of means. Guise was about 50 years of age. He was man of fine character. kind and gener- ous to all and true friend

MARRIAGE IS POPULAR.
But the Wonder Is That Nine Tenths
 of Them Still Hhod Good.

Answering the query. Why so many divorces? Life offers six answers: First. because of the decline of au
 thorty. Everybody in the country wants to he his own boss. and is so. as far as possible. Nobody wants to obey unless obedience matches inclination. Second, because there are so many more ways than there were a genera tion ago for woman to make living. Third because the price of living is so high. Men abandon their wives in shocking numbers because the job of maintenance is heavy and they get tired of it. Fourth. because women re- quire much more and give less than

THE CENTRAL AMERICAN RIOTS

"A Phoenix gentleman who came here not man" months ago from New or leans. in speaking of the Cannon and Grace case which has brought strained relations between this country and Nicaragua. says the United States is very wise in proceeding carefully. He has no knowledge of this incident nor did he know Cannon and Grace. but he has known q number of Americans who have operated in that country along rather dangerous lines. keeping back their American citizenship to use in event of finding themselves in trou-
 ble they could not wriggle out of. A case he recalls is that of d young man who chanced to stop at the same boarding house in New Orleans. One day he showed him lot of fine pocket artillery. silver mounted, which he said he had secured for the officers of a revolution that was then believed to be ripening in one of the Central American states. The next day he came upon him unexpectedly packing the revolvers in a trunk with false bottom. This man was born in Mime sota or one of the far northern states. but went to Central America very early in life. SO early in fact that he had all most forgotten the English language and was to all intents a native admit tedly q revolutionist but nevertheless an American and doubtless kept his papers handy to prove it in case of trouble Good men should be protect ed. but even Americans are not all good. ya
