AuToMoelL,NG IN CHINA.

There are perhaps a dozen or more motor cars in Tientsm, two or three of which are owned by Chinese, the others belonging to the foreign resi- dents. There are also about half a dozen in Picking. The streets of the Tientsin foreign settlement are broad and level. well macadamized and eX- cellent for motoring. The boulevard encircling the native city is also good for the purpose. It occupies the site of the old city wall and moat. which wall was leveled by the provisional government in 1900 Peking has number of very wide streets and an automobile can be used to advantage in that city, which is eighty nine miles distant by rail All foreign articles used in Picking come from the estab lishments in Tientsin.
 The average Chinese street is too narrow to allow wheeled vehicles to pass or in fact to he used. But the great obstacle to an enormous trade in motor cars in China is the absence of roads. It is always very narrow. The only vehicle used outside the cities is heavy wooden two-wheeled cart drawn by horses or donkeys. Tn the TdlIlN StdSpi litSt dit Huc'S mires. In the hilly regions the roads become water courses in the rainy season and the action of the water converts them into cuttings or ditches far below the average level of the country. On one stretch of road near Peking the track way is twelve to fif- teen feet below the general level.
 I believe a good business can be done among the wealthy Chinese in motor cars of styles suited to their ideas Every carriage used by Chi nese is closed. not open, following the style of the sedan chairs for car rying persons. Then. too. the automo- bile would be used by the ladies of the household. and no Chinese lady ever appears in public in a vehicle unless it is carefully closed in. The average price of gasoline is 20 cents per gallon.-Consular Reports.

CARNEGIE ON SPELLING.
The Young Ladies at Wellesley Have
 His Sympathy.

Admirable and up to date as the Times is, generally speaking, the edi- torial upon speilirg at Wellesley Is truly lamentable. writes Andrew Car negie. in a letter to the New York Times. It seems to hay been ritten by one who new nothing about the sub ject. These young ladies were no dout taut first that though" was pro- nounced tho, with spelling in brackets to give the pronounciatiOn; physics, pronounced fisiks; taught pro nounced taut. etc Having become ac- customed to this natural way, no won der it is difficult for them to spell these words as they are still printed. They are to be complimented upon this, and if they continue their spelling as taut to pronounce. they will soon improve our language.
 A leading institution recently had be- fore it the adoption of simplified spell ing for it's reports. which are sent to other societies turnout the world. Three of the directors. very old. but eminent men. were strongly opposed thereto un- til they herd the reasons for the change. when one said, "Oh. we admit you hay all the arguments and we hay only our pre1udlceS. The rcSOiutlOn was carried.
 When "The Tale of a Tub" was print cd spite" was printed "spighte." We hay changed that. Even the slow old fogy Times Gn this respect only) now prints it in the simplified spelling: but We don't yet spell bright" b-r-i-t-e. or slight" s-l-i-t-e, etc. tho we shall soon. The useless 'gh's" are at least doomed only this morning ! learned that the Modern Language Association of America has resolved to use large number of simplified spellings in it's numerous publications. The work goes bravely on.
 Even the Smithsonian Institution has adopted many of these already in it's reports. and so has the Carnegie Insti- tuition at Washington.
 It is the stupid old fogy educational- ists who force the teachers at Welles- ley to spell wrongly and annoy the students. not the young ladies who are at fault. They hay my sympathy. hope they will continue to show their good sens.

NERVOUS HEADACHES.

Nervous headaches occur in hysteri- cal or neurasthenic individuals and those suffering from overwork or worry Tn this class fight also be mentioned headaches Jue to eye strain.
 The error of vision Biay be so slight that the patient is not conscious of any impairment of her sight. but the con- stant effort to counteract it is sapping her nervous energy. When frequent headaches occur it is important to have the vision carefully tested by a com petent eye specialist. No further search for a cause ma be necessary.
 Disease of the eye deviatei septum in the nose, adenoids. enlarged tonsils or other abnormalities of the nose and throat are often responsible for persist ent headaches that resist treatment. In all cases these possible conditions must be considered and one by one elimin- ated.

.UNT|MELY END OF
 MRS. J. M. HUMPHREY
Beloved Woman Answers Call of
 Reaper After Long Illness.

Following an illness of more than four weeks. Mrs. J. NJ. Humphrey died carly this morning at Dr. F. c. Angeny's sanitarium, on North Third avenue.
 Typhoid s;er was the disease that caused the death of Mrs. Humphrey. A short time after she became ill she was removed to the sanitarium and at one time it was thought that she was out of danger. She suffered two relapses, however. the second only two days ago. Her strength was too greatly impaired for her to rally again and she sank steadily until the end.
 Mrs. Humphrey came to Phoenix about a year and d half ago from Glen Rose, Texas, where her husband is at the present time. She leaves behind one son. Marshal Humphrey. and three daughters. One daughter, Miss Cricket, is now attending school at Denton, Texas. while the others. Miss Rissie, Miss Ellen and Miss Jessie, are all here.
 The deceased was of a sweet, lov- able disposition. an ideal mother and one who soon became endeared to all who met her. Besides her immediate relatives she leaves behind a wide circle of friends to sincerely mourn her death and sympathize with her bereaved family.
 The body was removed to Easter ling & Whitney's. Arrangements for the funeral will probably be made to- day.

GUGGENHE|M DEAL IS OFF
Believed that Development Go. of America Intends to Allow Property to Revert to Chittenden and His Associates.

Simultaneously with the shutdown of the Tombstone Consolidated mines, at Tombstone, work ceased upon tn, Saddle Mountain property at Christ mas. All men who had been employ ed in the development of the claims were discharged early last week and only Burnett Goodwin, the superinten- dent. who acts as caretaker. remains at the mine. With the news of the cessation of operations at Tombstone and Christmas cannes information of an apparently authentic nature that the deal of the Guggenheim interests for the holdings of the Development Company of America has failed Of Consummation.
 There is also a report that the shut down at Christmas means that the Development Company of America does not intend to take up its bond on the Saddle Mountain In fact. the bond was due last month. and it is common gossip in financial circles that the money was not paid The reason therefor is not known. but it is not because of the condition of the property All the work done under the regime of the Gila Copper Sul- phide company. which was organized by the Development company as a holding corporation. has resulted in the discovery of additional rich ore bodies. Much of the ore, however, has not been blocked out. having been opened up only on one side.
 If the Development company did not make the payment called for in the terms of the bond it took on the prop erty, the inference is that it has de cided to let the mine revert to the old company, which was headed by Geo. B. Chittenden Chittenden secured a great deal of money for the develop ment of the Saddle Mountain and made a mine of it. Mining men >are now predicting that it will not he long before he is again in active charge No one believes that the property will long remain idle.
 That the Guggenheim interests were conducting negotiations for the pur- chase of not only the Saddle Noun tain, but all the Development Com pany of America's holdings is not de- nied by the officers of the various Guggenheim companies. Several have recently made the statement, however. that the negotiations have been brok- en off and that the Guggenheims will not increase their Arizona interests at present.
 The deal that was on involved the Saddle Mountain and several adjoin- ing properties in which the Develop ment company has no interest, such as the London Arizona. Ball and Lon don Range groups The other Devel- opment company mines included were the Tombstone Consolidated, Silver Bell and one or two others.
 C. D.. Lakenan. general manager of the Nevada Consolidated Mining com pany, and Pope Waterman. chief engi- neer of the Guggenheim Securities company, visited Christmas about two months ago. It is understood that they and other Guggenheim men went to Congress, Silverbell and Tombstone The nature of their reports is not known to the public, but it is general
