Report of the City Marshal Shows
 Large Number of Arrests.

The report of the city marshal from May l to December 3I, submitted tC the city council Monday night contains some interesting figures. The entire force consists of eight men and in the period stated 1897 arrests were made which is a rather large number for so small a force.
 Of this number 61 were for felony or petty crime. while the rest were on misdemeanor charges. The number of days work got out of the prisoners was 12O while the number of meals served was 2.95O.
 Fines and forfeited bail amounted to s2.21S. which is quite an assistance toward the support of the police de- partment Thirty-four bicycles were recovered for their owners.
 These figures show that the police department comes nearer now to self support than at any previous time A comparison of the amount of fines col lected in other years will show a large increase. During the last quarter the amount of fines ran up to s1,012. The same quarter in 1903 the fines amount ed to S29S: in 1901 to s17950, and in 1904. to s26s.50 The Phoenix police are probably as near self-supporting as in any city of the same size in the west Of course this is not altogether com plimentary to Phoenix for it means that there are more violators of the law here than there should be, more hoboes and drunks-for they are the ones that contribute the most of the money-than Phoenix has any real use for
 There is one other thought. and that is that it would be a joy if the lawless ones could be made to work more and eat less. one hundred and twenty days work is not adequate return for 2.950 meals. There are some prisoners who must be fed whether they work or not; they are the female prisoners, and all who have not come up for their trials; but the others. men who are too strong for work and who appear again and again before the police judge on charges of vagrancy and drunken ness, would be nightly discouraged if they were put on the chain gang and made to work or go on bread and wa ter

The Healing
 Power of Pine.

If you have ever taken a walk through a forest of pine trees you will remember how, almost unconsciously the head was thrown back and lungs expanded as you inhaled with long, deep breaths the glorious pine laden air. How invigorating it was-how healing!
 The medicinal virtues of pine have been recognized in medical practice for many years. For coughs and colds the mixture of -wo ounces of Glycerine with half-ounce of Virgin oil of Pine compound pure and eight ounces of pure Whisky is highly recommended It is claimed hat a teaspoonful of this mixture, four times a day, will break cold in twenty-four hours and cure any cough that is curable The ingredients are not expensive and can be bought in any good drugstore, the genuine Virgin oil of Pine compound pure being put up for dispensing only by the Leach Chemical Co, Cincinnati.

WASHINCTON'S
PHYSICAL ILLS.
By JOHN E. WALLACE.

~" ident he was dangerously
IN several times. In 1879
he had what I'm our day we
would call the grip. During a cere-
monial visit to Cambridge. Mass. the
president came down with this ailment.
which came TO be called "the Wash
ington influenza" in the vicinity OF
Boston. where 1t ragged for some time.
Washington described this attack thus:
Myself much diSordered by cold
and Inflammation IN the left eve"
In New York some months later the
president caught another bad cold.
which developed into "a case Of an.
thraS so malignant as for several days
10 threaten modification" His physi-
clan remained constantly with him
One day Washington looked the doctor
squarely In the face and requested
his opinion as TO the outcome OF the
disease. The doctor expressed both
hope and fear. and Washington re-
piled Whether tonight or twenty
years hence, II makes no difference"
One who visited the president at this
time relates that his life was despaired
OF and every eye was fun OF tears
One feature Of this attack was a
very large and painful tumor on the
protuberance OF the presidents thigh
IL was necessary TO operate upon this
tumor, which had a happy effect in
relieving the fever, but left the patient
weak He could not walk or sit up
so In order 10 obtain needed outdoor
exercise he had his coach so extended
that he could recline his full length of
six feet three aud half inches therein
An operation for cancer was per.
formed on Washington in 1894. His
mother also had suffered from this
disorder. During the same year the
presidents back was severely wrench
cd In an effort 70 save himself and
horse from falling among the rock,
at the lower falls OF the Potomac. near
his Mount Vernon home. He was con
fined 20 his bed for some time on nc
count OF this injury.
After Washington retired from pub
lie life he suffered from a fever which
reduced his weight by twenty pounds
He had frequent colds, and Il was only
with the greatest difficulty that he
could be induced 10 take medicine.
Washlngton's sight became impaired
during the Revolution. He found H.
necessary 10 begin wearing spectacles
In 1TTS, at the age OF forty-six years
During his presidency he became hard
Of hearing. 4 guest at ono Of the

was SO deaf that believe he heard

Washinaton's Size.

George Washington was big as well
as great. One OF the doctors who at

great mans exact height was six feet
three and "A half inches. A man who
saw him during his service as presi-
dent wrote that Washington looked
TO be at least six and half feet tail.
WaShingtOns tallness. however, was
not accentuated by spareness, as ia

half an inch taller.

His teeth became defective early IN
life From year 10 year he had one
tooth after another drawn after un-
dergoing severe toothaches. BY the
year 1889 he began TO wear false teeth

mouth curious malformation. Stuart

Washington sought To overcome this
appearance by placing cotton padding
