The As-YouI.ise- club met last
Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. y. G.
Tevis in East Pine street. and the
meeting resulted in an afternoon OF
deep interest and enjoyment. A large
lumber of the members We're in at

afternoon were three highly interest
ing papers. One by Mrs. Jacob Rein
hard. entitled phillips the Ill and w.
and Their ?remiers': Mrs. r. IL.

Shakespeare of Spain" while Mrs. y.
G. Tevis' paper. THE Cid of Song and
Story" was one full of the romance
and glamor of ancient Spain, and was
beautiful and delightful i'm its compo-
sition and feeling. The almost mex
haustible study of Spain. its history,
past and present. its art. religion and
social conditions, its romance and lit
erature will continue to furnish the
themes for study and discussion in
the As-You-Like-It club until the
close of its working year. which will
be IN May. when a new subject will

ti0nal Committee was in very urgent
need OF funds. and that propos'tio
had been made to Mr.. QUAY. Chairman
Of the committee, that If assurance
could be given that a certain gentle
man should be Secretary OF the In
terror. or that he could control the APP
Dointment OF the Secretary OF the In
terror, money could be raised to the
amount Of $500. 0oO. IL necessary.
I asked him who the gentleman was.
and he said it was Thomas {. Plat.
Mr. Platt was appealed to for $780,
600, and furnished that sum "a few
DAYS before the election" II was in
October. some time after the middle .
that Mr.. New informed Mr.. Miller
that $500 600 could be had from Mr.
Plat on the assurance that "a certain
gentleman should be Secretary of the
Interior" As this assurance was not
given. since Mr.. Harrison would have
nothing 70 do with such transactions.
the haf million was not forthcoming.
But here is the evidence that at
very late day in the campaign. too late
for the use Of money in circulating
legitimate ways, the Republican Com
what is called literature, or in other
msttee was casting about for great
sums. It did receive $4,000 from Mr.
Plat only a few days before election
and SIr. P'aU assures us that sIr. Quay
frequently asserted that that money
elected President Harrison"
We know that Mr. Harrison was
elected President by the vote Of New
York. We know that New York. Mr.
Cleyeland's own state was confidently
counted upon by the. Democratic Ma
tionai Committee to give bin its cleo
toral vote. AS late as the middle of
October the election OF Mr.. Cleveland
seemed highly probable: it was the
general expectation that he would be
his own successor. But the electoral
vote OF New York was given 10 Mr.
Harrison by a plurality Of 1902. The
surprise and disappointment came
from Kings County. There were mem
orable election frauds in that county
that year. for which certain persons
OF power and prominence in politics
afterward suffered the Inconvenience
OF confinement at hard 'aor. But
though Mr.. Plat failed to get the See
retaryship of the Treasury, the Repub-
licans got the Presidency. These
revelations deepen the general con
viction that they got it by corruption
and the purchase of votes.
Need any one wonder why the ef-
forts TO secure by law publicity OF
campaign contributions have thus Tar
failed to secure the enthusiastic sup
port Of the Republicans in Congress

A PURCHASED PRESIDENCY.

Upon genera, information and belief
il has been often said that the Presi-
dental election OF 1883 was the most
corrupt in our history. We are now
getting the specific evidence. Matthew
stanley Quay was the man OF the Re
publican Committee that year. Gen.
Benjamin HSrrison was the Republican
candidate, and Grover Cleveland the
Democratic candidate. by re nOmira-
ton. In the statement or memoran-
dun which Mr.. Thomas c. Plat com
mitted into the hands of his friend
Mr.. Curtis TO be published after biz
death we find the following passage:
A few days before the election Mr..
QUAY, who was Chairmon of the com
mittee, came to Mr.. Platts Office with
q long face He said he was utterly
discouraged; that the demands made
upon him for money were tremendous;
that the treasury was empty; that he
had exhausted every source from
which he could hope to secure funds.
How much do you want?" asked
sir Plat.
"One hundred and fifty thousand
dollars at least. We must have that
amount or close the headquarters. F."
replied Mr.. Quay.
Mr.. Plat is not a rich man, but his
credit is good. and he went out and
borrowed S150.000 upon his own per
sonas note and turned the money over
to the Treasurer Of the National Com
mittee. Mr.. Quay has frequently as
serted that that money elected Presi-
dent Harrison.
The reader vii note that this brief
but fruitful conference between two
leading politicians of the Republican
party took place "a few days before
! the election"
Ex-Attorney Genera. Miller. whom
Mr.. Harrison with commendable fore
sight of probable events had fortified

FOREST LINES CHANGED.

WASHINGTON, July rs. - The
president has signed a proclamation
adding 3O.5e acres to, and at the
same time eliminating 57,297 acres
from, the Chiracahua National for
est, Arizona and New Mexico. These
changes are the result OF a careful
examination made by the secretary
OF agriculture last summer, which
showed that the areas excluded are
not needed for forest or watershed
protection.
The most important of these
changes Is the elimination of a large
area. consisting for the most part Of
grass land. on the southern and
eastern boundaries of the New Mex
leo division. which was formerly
known as the Polencilio National for
est. This viii leave Sanders Pass
and the surrounding territory on the
southern slope Of the Animas range
entirely outside of the forest lines.
Smaller eliminations OF non-forest
lands are also made from the Chiri-
cahua and Peloncillo divisions.
The additions comprise a number
OF areas Of juniper and pinon scat
tered along the exterior boundaries
OF the Chiricahua, PelOncillo, and
Dragon divisions. The latter divis-
ion BY the recent proclamations has
been transferred from the Coronado
10 the Chiricahua forest.
The Incorporated portions OF the
lands eliminated by this proclamation
will be restored to settlement and en-
try after having been advertised in
the local papers by the secretary .
the interior.

possibly involved in the affair. Later
the Varron woman was released.
A man named COntreras and a man
called Smith who lives in Glendale

man Celaya, the man who was shot

shot quickly followed. Apparently it
had been intended for Contreras.

Of foreign matters before getting at

Suspicion fell upon Mre. Cabena
This was based largely on her excited
manner and the fact that she told a
