Of December 3rd it tells what
happened in the east on that date
fiyty years ago, and the items are
interesting for they tell how the
steam friHate, San Jacirto just
arrived from the coast of Africa
by the West Indies, where she has
been cruising took M ason and
Slidell from the Bri fish merchant
steamer, Trent, as follows:
1.-THE port was electrified by the
tidinYs that the San JacInto had
on board Mr.. Slidell and Mr..
Mason, who were going as the
ministers Of the Southern Con-
federacy" Ito England and
France).
Commander Wilkes said he
would report at headquarters in
person. And a special dispatch OF
the same date says:
"WiIkes sent aboard (the
Trent) and demanded treir
surrender from the British mail
steamer.
The reply was there was not
force enough to take them" Then
the account says:
wilkes sent An additional force
and put TIE San Jacinto into
convenient position. Mason and
Slidell were then surrendered.
Another dispatch of the same
day says: "The government is
highly elated over the capture of
Slidell AMI Mason"
A still further dispatch says:
THE Richmond dispatch has IN
formation that The authorities of
South Carolina have communicated
with the rebel government upon
the subject of hosting the black
flag, to which illusions have been
made since the attack on the coast
Uf their state. 1t is believed that
General Lee has received COM
munication from the war depart
ment urging that their captures
must be regarded as prisoners of
war. 1t is said that this will be
disagreed to by the authorities of
South Carilina; that the same
course will be pursued as that
adopted by Governor Wise at the
time of the John Brown raid: and
when South Carolina has done
with the invaders, the confederate
government can have them"
That shows the spirit that
animated South Carolina in those
troblous days, and it may be an
explanation of the character Of the
present governor of that state.
He must have been born about
that time and inherited all the
bitterness that was in the hearts
Of his people then.

.AEW DORAITORY OF HE UNIVERSITY

TUCSON. Ariz.. Sept s.-Among the many fine looking buildings which are now upon the campus Of the University of Arizona another will take it's place sometime within the next six months. It will be a fine large dormitory.
 President Wilde said yesterday that the new dormitory would be built of brick to match some of the buildings already constructed, and that when finished would make a fine addition to the campus. Tho location of the proposed building will be on the north side of the campus, between the presidents res idence and West College, the young ladies' dormitory.
 The new building is assured since the board of control has already made the appropriation for 1t and the sum amounts in all to S2S, 1000. Of this sum, s25,000 will be used to build the structure while the re- maining s3000 win be used for fur. nishing 1t after the building Is com

ENTRIES GROUNDING
 FOR POULTRY SHOW
At End of Second Day There
 Were Twenty-Eight Com f petitOrS

Already the indications point to a decided success for the first annual Cochise county poultry show, to be held in Bisbee on October 5. 6 and 2. Entries are coming in with a rush en- tirely unanticipated by the manage ment Of the show, the Y. N. C. A. officers. When the returns were all in last night, there were twenty-eight different entries, totaling forty-nine pens, or 152 birds.
 Secretary Davis of the I. M. c. A. feels greatly encouraged over the in- terest being taken in the show and believes that the success of the first show will result In making the poultry exhibit an annual affair. He has all ready eanvassed the Warren district, with the result shown above, and will leave Monday for Douglas. where he will interest poultry raiseFs in the competition. Later he will go to Tombstone. Wilcox and Benson.
 Twenty-eight entries in the poultry competition means that there are just that number of bird raisers in the Warren district who believe that they are raising the finest chickens iB the district. Before the entries close. probably 200 birds will be entered in the show from this district alone, and Secretary Davis believes that an equal number will be entered from the county at large.
 Mr. Davis is corresponding with poultry show judges at Fl Paso and at Los Angeles. The judging and awarding of ribbons will be done by an expert and an outsider, so that the competitors will be assured of abso- lutely impartial awards.
 It has been decided to give small money prizes as well as ribbons. this year at least This is done in order to give the outsiders a chance to make back their freight bill ia shipping the birds to Bisbee. The ribbons VII be the prizes that will be most sought for, however.
 The entrance fee is 50 cents fol the first bird of a coop and 25 centt for each additional bird The en trance fee and the shipping charge win he the only expense attached tC making an entry in the show, es tht feed will be furnished by the manage nent of the show. The pens vfl also be furnished by the management
 
 orders for the material having airesdl been placed. The pens will be sani tary in every respect and there VII be no possibility of any of the bird' Lrineing in any disease of any kind.
 Before entering bird in the show or. at least, before the date of tn ehow. those entering birds should pu them in good condition with feed an r,tysic. and great care should be take of inc birds in every way. The mar aeement urges that those intending [ compete for the ribbons enter tnel blrds immediately, as 1t will be neeei sary to know what accommooatlo must be provided for the prize ciro'

pleted. The material will be red brick and 1t will be a two-story structure. Dr. Wilde said:
 The new dormitory will be mod ern in every respect The latest plumbing will be installed and ev. erything done to make it a fine building. The plans at present are to use it as young ladies' dormi- tory. There will be a large screen porch in the back for sleeping pur- poses. the same kind Of a porch that is now being built on North Hall for the college men. I do not know just when the building will be completed. but probably some time within the next sir months"
 Dr. Wilde is very optimistic as to an increased registration at the university and stated: We are re- ceiving answers every day from the letters which we have sent to pros pective students and the outlook Is very bright. Most of the students from whom we have heard are young men. and I don't know wheth- CT we will have dormitory room for them or not I am especially anxious to hear from those near the university or in other sections of the city who will have rooms to rent, as fear that we will need them"

 This to Say:

The Coast Country is immense. That expresses it in a word. It is simply immense. But a most singular development appears here. You, in Texas. are preparing to handle the products of several states back of you, and yet. within an hours ride, you have thousands of acres of the finest land in the world-land that will raise anythng-unsestled, unused, for sale so cheap. I have never encountered such a condition anywhere else. for. as rule, lands in the suburbs of the great cities are worth $150 to S4OO an acre. Why it is so. do not know; but 1t is so. Within recent years, few people have taken advantage of this opportunity. They have bought lands in the Coast Country, and they are making money-lots of it.
 The States back of Texas have been developed. The people have made money. and there are millions of dol. lars lying idle in the banks. This money will seek investment and peo- pie will take advantage of the oppor- tunity to buy your splendid lands cheap and they will develop them. Texas is a splendid state-a great empire. It has started upon era of development and progress. You know it has been said that during the late war the people of the United States discovered themselves; they begin to appreciate what they have
