sIAYs CHILDREN, NURSE, SELF.
Terrible Crime Committed hy q Man
Under Influence Of MOrphia.

Birmingham, Feb. 19.-George
Stephens, son of prominent mine
operator, to-day shot and killed three
of his children, shot and fatally in
iured their colored nurse, and then
turned the weapon on himself and
ended his own life.
Stephens did not work yesterday,
but laid off, and last night on return
ing home he is said to have taken
some morphia for some reason, and
during the night did not sleep any.
AT 6 o'clock this morning he entered
the room where the old negro nurse
had the youngest child, 18 months OF
age, on her lap, and, pulling a pistol,
shot the child to death. The bullet
went through the child head and
struck the nurse in the head, infict-
Ing dangerous wound. The crazed
father then shot his two little girls,
aged seven and four years respect
lively, to death, and then killed him
self. A ten-year-old son escaped from
the house. About fifteen months ago
Stephens's wife died, and It is sup
posed that this had something TO do
with his condition.

HAT TIP TRUST GATHERS FEM iN
There Are No Pockets in the Uniforms of the Boys Who Collect the
 Coins.

The t-tip trust? Yea, verily; even SO The coat-room tip business is as highly organized as any one of which the public is aware. With two or three exceptions, all the large hotels and restaurants in New York, for eX- ample, farm out the "coat-room privi- lege" to the hat-tip trust. This trust is embodied in an elusive, reticent lis- tie man with an office near the Great White Way" He pays the innkeepers well for the privilege, hires the hat boys and pays their wages. They sur render all their tips to the trust $ captain"
 But how can the trust be sure Of getting all the money?
 sThat is easy; he has no trouble at all He may lose a few dimes a day on a boy, but the boy cannot keep il up. It is not half so easy beating this system as it is for a street-car con ductor con ear of the ordinary type) to knock down" fares with his ear full of spotters.
 In the first place, the eXploiter of tips furnishes the uniforms. He charges his employees only two dollars a month for wearing them. They are made to his special order, and there IS not pocket i'll them. That fancy gold braid you see where pockets ought to be is only a gilded pretense. There is no pocket there. But the boys used to beat that They used to slip an occa- sional dime inside their collar and al low it to work its way down inside their underelothing into their shoes But the trust boss stopped all that. He makes them wear knee-length running trunks. Now they are all honest. They turn over every cent to the captain as soon as it is handed them. They get six dollars a week for serving the tip trust and collecting the tips from the patrons of the houses where he works them.-Harper's Weekly.

GOSPELS.

Two gospels there are of the years That haunt men, and follow them after; And one is the gospel of tears. The other the gospel of laughter. The gospel of laughter is good, For it sweetens the gall of our sor-
 row; There through is slow anguish with
 stood.
 And the spirit trussed up for the
 morrow. The gospel of tears is divine, For it makes us draw closer to-
 gether. And shows us the beacon and sign Of souls in life's stormiest weather. Two gospels there are of the years, Rich crowning our grief and our
 pleasure; The gospel of laughter, of tears, With meanings that man may not
 measure.

LITTLE CYCLONE WAS
 4 FREAK 0F NATURE
With All the Rest of Phoenix Calm. the Wind Blows Down Barns
 and Trees in Los Olives.

A miniature Kansas cyclone went on a rampage through Los Olives and the section of the city out Central avenue early Sunday morning. Trees and barns went down before it, the most serious injury being to live stock
 The barn belonging to E. E. Kirk land and one belonging to S NJ Hanger at Mcdowell road and Fifth streets caved in. A third barn was lifted bodily and some fine racing stock that was left in the barn at the time were left uninjured Even windows were blown in. A heavy piece of sheetiron in Phil Ensign's yard was tossed about like paper and a window in the second story of his house crashed in when the storm struck Many trees suffered, either being laid flat on the ground or los ing branches. Fences were laid ,out flat or sections of them went sailing through the air
 The storm came up about a. m. from the southeast A huge black cloud which emitted lightning and thunder floated over the city and for a few minutes good rain fell
 In the downtown section there was comparatively little wind-hardly enough to give a slant to the rain, so that the cyclone in Los Olives ad- dition was a sort of freak of nature.

There is probably no better ther- mometer of business growth and conditions than the receipts of the local postoffice.. The figures of the present fiscal year, which have just been learned, show an increase of 1612 per cent over the receipts of last year. In round dollars, the Phoenix postoffice took in during the year ending June 30, $64,9S7, as against $55,717 for the preceding year This total represents the money received from the sale of stamps, etc.
 The expense of running the office during. the year amounted to $26,9O4, So that there remains a profit to Uncle Samuel of s3S,0S3 from this one office alone. Of course, it isn't

schools, hearing of the application for a permanent injunction against the act of the school board of segre- gating the colored children from the white and Mexican children, is set on the court calendar for September 23. Until decision shall be ren- dered by the court relative to this application, the school will be con ducted exclusively as one for col ored children.
 In the event that an injunction is sues, it is the belief of the members of the school board that there will be but d very small percentage of white pupils in theschool as there are more colored children living in the section embraced by the school than white children So that in any event this new building will for long time, at least, be looked upon as a school for colored children.
