a WISE DECISION.

The New York theatrical promoter
who brought Beulah Binford to New
York to exploit her on the stage an
nounced last night that ne has aban-
doned the idea. His decision not TO
thus aTront the public and the stage
will be applauded by decent popular
sentiment.
The publicity pictorial and other
which these celebrities Of the Beu-
lah Binford, Nan Patterson, Evelyn
Thaw type get through the press is
bad enough, and the only excuse for IT
is the public demand which compels
the papers TO print the news.
But for soliciting them to haunt
their evil notoriety on the stage and
coin money out Of It there is no excus,
at all. The "enterprising" manager
who engaged Nan Patterson as a spe-
cial attraction was speedily brought tc
his rudimentary senses by the boycott
ting Of his show. and a similar Of
worse experience undoubtedly would
De in store for any impresario whc
planned to make money about as re-
spectacle as the gains Of the brothe

ARIzoNA's BIG GAME.
Mountain Liens and Cougars Still Seen
Near the Towns.

A favorite pastime OF old times is
TO tell hreside tales OF the big game
that used to infest Arizona. While the
nimrods Of Dlsbee sullS in their tents
end bemoan the evil days when there
is no game worthy of their guns,
mountain lions or cougars roam the
Mule mountains with impunity, and
only six or eight miles from the city.
Several hunters have been to the
mountains and have been unable to
find evidence OF these lions, but only
week ago their tracks were seen, ac-

Mr. Ruef estimates that there are
three thousand convicts in the peni-

more in the reformatories and county

Putting it another way, there is one
convict for every sixty families in the
state.
