A Memory Of Edwin Booth.

My season with Edwin Booth was
delightful. found him one of the
kindest and pleasantest men Of the
profession. He also possessed what
consider great quality-simplicity of
manner. Some stars have the idea
that it is necessary to be naughty and
inaccessible with the members Of their
companies. They put on airs. They
like to crush their fellow actors and
pose as a kind of divinity before them.

tain Amos house had interposed its
bulk Phoebe felt personally aggrieved
She had even approached the doughty
captain and laid her complaint before
him. Il never can tell what the
weather's going to be without seeing
that vane." she said.
"I'll put one up on my cupola,"
promised the captain affably.
Il won't look at it--probably it'll not
be good for anything" said Miss
Phoebe peevishly, and so she went
home.
Captain Amos and Phoebe had
known each other all their lives; they
had gone to school together, and they
had attended merrymakings as they
grew older. Phoebe had danced holes
in her slippers under the skillful guild
ance of Amos Dodge, and Amos had
been caught by his father while con-
cocting a love letter TO Phoebe, and
an incipient romance had been de-
stroyed.
Amos had run away from his moth
erless home, and Phoebe had forgotten
all about him until years afterward.
when his father was dead and buried,
he came home a childless widower and
built a house on the brow of the hill
beyond Phoebe's solitary cottage
There had been no sentiment about
their meeting. Their first words had
been disagreement about the wealth

FIND CAVE FULL
 OF FERTILIZER

DOUGLAS, Sept. 27.-(Special.)- )-- A hunting party which left Doug las yesterday morning returned last night with news of a find, the i'm portance of which has not yet been determined, but which will undoubt. edly be valuable. and may mean small fortunes to all of them. 'As they have not yet demonstrated the extent of their find they do not wish to give out its location and for the reason that steps have not yet been taken to acquire the property the names of the finders are not men, toned. as it might hamper them in securing the property they desire.
 A party of Douglasites left the city yesterday on huting trip and in the course of their days outing they came upon a cave and decided to enter it. Tn so doing they dis. turbed many bats and further exam ination showed that they had come upon a deposit of one of the best fer tilizers known, bat guano. They brought home some of the stun and state that there seems to be a large deposit of it. How deep this deposit extends, or how far back in the cave it still remains to be discovered and this they will investigate. As this fertilizer is now said to be in great demand and to command a price of $40 to $50 per ton the importance of the find, if it shall prove a large one. can readily be seen. as it is more valuable than many a mine. This is especially so in this case, for the cave is no great distance from the city, and not far from good road. so that transportation cost will be minimized if there is enough of the fertilizer to warrant extensive work at the cave.

POLITICIANS AlOAE
 FEEL EARTHQUAKE
(Arizona Democrat.)

That Governor Sloan, Colonel Me Clintock and Dr. vickers should have been the three men in Phoenix to feel the earthquake shock which Is supposed to have visited Phoenix last night caused little or no surprise to- day.
 Still nervous from the disastrous shock they felt two weeks ago when the returns from the election began to reach the Arizona club, they were in condition last night to feel even the slightest jar.
 About the most delicate instru- ment known is the siesmograph, and it's value to science is its ability to detect disturbances of the earth's surface at great distances.
 Most of the earthquake last night seems to have been felt at Flagstaff and Williams. the lower end of it reaching down as far as Prescott. In all three of these places it was felt by people on the second floor.
 In Phoenix the disturbance seems to have been centered around the Arizona club. Three stancpat re- publicans have thus far been the only residents of the city to declare that they felt the shock here They place the time of the disturbance at 9:15. Flagstaff and Williams felt it about fifteen minutes earlier.
 Volcanic eruptions of a political nature all over the East during the past few weeks probably had some thing to do with the shocking of the three standpatters at the Arizona club last night. It should occasion no surprise if they report continued shocks when the election returns be- gin to reach Phoenix from the East in November.
