Marlborough House.

Marlborough House is one of the
numerous buildings of Sir Christopher
Wren. 1t was built at cost of E44,-
600, the whole of which was betrayed
by the duke. Here the great duchess
lived till her death in 1T44. waging an
incessant warfare upon the society of
her time. Here, too. she received a
deputation of the lord mayor and sher-
ifs of London while still in bed, an
incident which was satirizcd by Gay:
Acquainted with the world and quite well
bred.
Drusa receives her visitants in bed.
In the earlier years of the nineteenth
century Marlborough House was rent
ed by Leopold king Of the Belgians.
1t was afterward bestowed by the
crown upon Queen Adelaide, the dow

Vivisectinu Thieves.

Breaking into houses where funerals
have just taken place ana plundering
them is spoken Of by the Berliner
Tageblatt as Il trick of the thieves Of
that city. While this may be a new
form cf criminality in Berlin, says the
writer, it is really only an imitation of
an incident described by Dion Cassius
as having taken place 300 years be
fore Christ The historian says that
when the consort of the emperor was
laid away in the mausoleum at
Memphis a band of Greek marauders
entered the deserted palace of the
pharaoa and took all the precious
stones and metals and the women
slaves and reached the banks of the
Red sea with their plunder. Only two
Of the band were captured, and they
were turned over by the ruler to the
wise men, by whom they were vivi-
sectcd in the interest of science, No
matter how much the robbers Of the
modern houses of mourning may be
despised, they need not fear that form
Of punishment.

Birthdays and Health.

For several years have noticed that
in a period of from about three to
two weeks preceding the anniversary
of my birth have had a feeling of
returning vigor. renewal of vitality
such as l have not experienced at any
other time of the year. This has last
ed for from two to eight days. but has
always ceased some days before the
anniversary; hence it has occurred to
me that there may be some connection
between the approach or recurrence of
ones birth date and the maintenance
of ones health.-London Graphic.

During one of the banquets of the

bishop had as his left hand companion
a clergyman who was completely bald.
During dessert the baldheaded vicar

A Quaint Cookbook.

Amid the horrors Of the siege of
Paris in 1871 one Cadol found time to
issue Il book of recipes for the prepara,
tion of the strange fare to which the
city was reduced. "Our stomachs are
turned into natural history museums, -
he wrote, but we must make the best
q circumstances and render our food
as palatablc as we can" So house
wives were instructed how TO disguise
the flesh Of dogs. horses, asses rats
and mice and were shown that, despite
the old adage, one can make an omelet
without breaking eggs. The recipe
for an eggless omelct was as follows:
Soak an army biscuit in sugared wa
ter favored with orange flower chop
finely and spread on a hot dish, pow
der we'll with sugar and then pour over
and set light to Il liberal helping, of
rum" With eggs at Sc a dozen and
rum at but little more than. its normal
price this palatable imitation Of an
'Omelette au rhum" became a most
popular dish.

MRS. LAURA RUSSELL,

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount Of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount Of
air. The result is shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart Rem

THE F. B. PICNIC

The Williams Lodge of The Fra ternal Brotherhood had planned a picnic for last Sunday at Jas. A.. Johnson's ranch four miles from this city. The members of this popular order in Williams are not "pikers" by any means for although it rained and the roads were bad about fifty were present to partake of all the good things to eat that had been prepared by the ladies of the fraternity.
 All who went were not disap- pointed in the least. The doors of the comfortable ranch home were wide open for the guests and the host and hostes, MT. and Mrs. John son, were entertaining them in a pleasant manner so we'll known to those who have had the pleasure to enjoy their hospitality on various occasions. Soon the rain and all the dull cares were forgotten and every one present was busy. Some were playing cards, others were en- toying music, etc. The rain quit at noon. but the ground being wet the dinner was served in the house. The picnickers adjourned about 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
 Those present were: Messrs and Mesdames Matthews, Erne, Ritte, Johnson; Mesdames Jones and son. Burns, Melick and two sons. Adelf. son, Gilson, Nellis, o. B. Roberts and son, and Carlson; Misses Nell lis, Sittrel. Terry, Alice and Esther Carlson, Flora and Dora Wilson. Adelfson, and Heating; Messrs Riggs, Reece, Sidney Terry, Wm. Dalton. B. E.

PATTERSON IS DISGUSTED

Marshal Patterson upon his re. turn from Winslow, Tuesday, walk ed into THE NEWS office looking very disgusted, and said "There is no use in making arrests of dirty scoundrels as long as justices of the peace will not convict them although the case is clear as day light" He was referring to case in thejustice court at Winslow Monday when one R. c. Miller, of Sullivan, Illinois, was tried on the charge of insulting Miss Angie Baker, pretty Texas maiden from Galveston, on train No. 4 Sunday night. Mar shal Patterson says the charges against Miller were proved to be true beyond any doubts but the court let the brute go on account of his good social standing back east.
 Marshal Patterson says that it was proved in court that Miller at tempted to make date with Miss Baker, but she refused to listen to him. Near midnight the girl gave a scream which awoke every one in the sleeper except Miller, although he occupied berth next to Miss Baker. After explanations to the conductor he was satisfied that it was Miller who entered the young lady's berth and as soon as the train reached Williams Marshal Patterson was called on to make an investigation, which he did. Miss Baker was anxious to prosecute the brute and would have left the train here to appear as witness against Miller had the officer advised her to do so. Patterson placed Miller under arrest on the train and se- cured all the evidence before Win slow was reached.

a snug little amount of money, and the local talent who so literally volunteered to take part in the program esta blished a reputation as entertainers. The program was we'll arranged.
 The first number on the propram was piano selection by Mrs. Maude Hibben. She played Schutt's "Ala bein Aimee" with the touch and feeling that but very few pianists in Williams can command. She responded to an encore. MT. A. A. Johnston sang Graff's "To the End of the World With You" Miss Helen Merritt accompanied MT. Johnston on piano. Little Myrtle Juhl won the admiration all with her sweet performance.
 Miss Lulu Heating, whose talent is we'll known in this city as a reader and elocutionist, gave the "Doom of Claudius and Cynthia '' and J. Whitcomb Riley's "An Old Sweetheart of Mine" Miss Edna Buggeln pleased the audience with her violin solos. Miss Lillie Terry's reading 'The Silent System" was enjoyable one and to perfection acted tho part of the neglected and much abused wife. Miss Crane gave on the piano Grieg's Butterfly and Miss Buggeln sweetly sang Bonds "Wear'in' for You"
 Victor Melick, the humorsist, had the audience in an uproar ol laughter during his performance with humorous reading. Nearly at every first class entertainment the best are saved as last. so was this. TT nat much loved tune "The Blue P,ells of Scotland" by Miss Marg ret Dermont was one of the swr 70 est selections rendered oh ,ia, during the evening.

THE BLOW PROVED FATAL

Ramon Romulo, a Mexican, was killed, and officers in search of the murderer was the sad result of the fight at Bellemont Wednes- day afternoon between two Mexican section hands, Romulo and Maritime Martinez, the latter striking Romu- To with a shovel over the head. The blow knocked Romulo sense- less and he never recovered. The loss of blood was great and he was dead befo, @ the hospital at Flag staff was re ached. His skull bone was smashed, and there was no hope for his recovery.
 Martinez made his disappearance immediately after he administered the blow upon his victim that later proved fatal. The therlff's office at Flagstaff was notified and Sheriff Francis sent all his deputies in search of the Mexican and the officers all along the line were ln- structed to keep or the lookout tol the Mexican.
 Martinez is about twenty-one years old. five feet six inches tall weighs 16O pounds and bis com plexTon is rather light. He is ex' pected to be making bis way ove' the mountains and thro ugh th' timber towards Old Mexico

CLOUDBURsr WRECKS TRACK

A cloudburst last Sunday washed away the Santa Fe track between Needles and Goffs, a distance of thirty miles. A work train loaded with .laborers started from both Needles and Goffs and after work ing all night Sunday the road was put in condition so that the trains could move over it. But another cloudburst occurred Monday after the east and west bound passenger trains had passed over the track the first time in twenty four hours after the first washout.
 The second washout was more disastrous than the one Sunday, The shattered track that had been just repaired was torn all to pieces and the bridge two miles west of Homer was washed out.
 The traffic has been crippled ever since Sunday and it will be a week or two before the damage is repair ed and the trains will be running on time. For several days the No. 8 and 4 and eastbound passen- ger trains were tied up at Goffs.
 On account of washouts in Ari- zona the train service from the east has been as irregular as that from the west. Nearly all the reg ular passenger trains were annulled from both the east and the west on Monday and Tuesday.
 The Rio Puerco and Little Colo radu overfowed their banks Sun day night as the result of unusual precipitation, weakening the tracks at points where they run close to the Santa Fe right of-way. Section gangs were called out at Holbrook, Adamana and Chambers to repair the washouts in the vicinity of those places. The worst interrup. tion occurred near Adamana.
