MAN ABOUTTOWN.

Wby not everybody follow Mr. Sankey's example in registering at hotels? In Indianapolis the other day he registered "J. M. Sankey, 2:01)4." That is a good way to advertise the town and the races. Anyone who does not know what town is "2:01£" will ask and the asking will be all the better because it will interest him so much that he will repeat the story to everyone he meets for a week, and the conversation will naturally bring out the fact that we are to have races this year. Remember you are from

The local option question is'liked or disliked according to the sentiment in different localities. Perhaps the liquor interest here in Terre Haute would be willing to have local option apply to the city generally, because they believe the community is in favor of the policy that has prevailed for years dealing with the saloons in liberal manuer. It is some thing like Inconsistency in those who are .alking in favor of the liberal policy because the local nentiment Is that way to be furnishing money to test the con stltutionHlity of the local option feature of the law. In New York a civic tedera tion has bettu organized bring nbout local option, but in tlm inwr*»ee th* friends of open saloons on Sunday art the federutionists. Ttie state law is be ing enforced by "Teddy" Roosevelt, president of the New York police board, although his attempt to do so was ridiculed two or three weeks ago. The saloons have been absolutely olosed and hence the new kind of a civic fenderatlon. It is headed by Carl Schurzand in its membership are the German singing societies, the Central Labor Federa tlon and the Personal Liberty League. A circular calls for agitation in favor of mitigation of the iaw and the adoption b^y the legislature of liberal regulation of the Sunday with submission of the question of local option. The next phase of the discussion of local option will be as to the limits of the locality.

At the corner of south Center and Oak streets under the porch of an unoccupied house, there has been for two or three weeks a family of nine, eight pups and thftlr mother. The neighborhood is caring ior them. The mother goes to one hou*e for breakfast, anotuer for dinner and another for supper, and everyoue within a gqnare or more feels In duty bound to carry food to the home under the porch. No one knows where the mother came from. 'The Qr«t anyone knew of her was when she was fouod there with her newly boru sons and daughters.

Colonel McLean was in Washington recently and on his way home told an Indianapolis reporter that the climate in Washington is "something awful." The air is lacking In ozone and "Is filled with a deadly miasma." The colonel says he saw patches of green scum on the Potomac hundreds of feetsquare. In the course of a debate in the senate once Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, described his emotions when he once saw the stars and stripes rising over Mt. Blanc. Senator Thnrman followed the Massachusetts senator and began by saying that he had "never seen the Mong Blong,' but he had seen the miasma rising over the Potomac flats and could not ftud words to describe his emotion." The effect of Senator Hoar's fine peroration was lost in the laughter that followed the Ohio (senator's parody on it. Colonel McLean says he thinks that muoh of the sickness of public men in Washington 1* caused by this miasma. Ben Butler, In referring to a mean* of purifying the atmosphere of the ball of the house of representatives, the death of several members during the session having been attributed to the Impure air the statesmen had been breathing along with their patriotic ardor, said he had become convinced that this deadly miasma from the Potomac flat* was secured in hermetically sealed bottle*.

Terre Haute ia furnishing an illustration of the fact that the enforcement of the law occupies more newjapaoe In the newspapers than its violation is aocord ed. In Chicago when gambling would get to be too openly notorious Carter Harrison used to announce that he would put an end to it and there would be a parade of the event in all the news papers. Within a few days the games would be started up, as it was intended they should be, but the reopening was gradual and the newspapers barely mentioned the fact. The public went about its own legitimate business believing that Carter had bis heel on tho lawbreakers. Ten days or two weeks a40 we were told how the saloons were to be closed on Sunday and at li o'clock at night but now the order is a dead letter. Indeed, it never was strictly complied with as any reformer' might have known. Most of the saloons whioh are known as the Fairbanks brewery head quarters violated the law from thebeginnlng and all other saloonkeepers had no doubt that it was the Fairbanks pull with the police department that enabled them to do so.

Malcolm Nelson, the fifteen years old boy of Covington, who has been reoonjmended by Congressman Faris for the vacancy in the Naval academy, is the son of the late Joseph Nelson of that place, who was a distant relative of Colonel Nelson. The boy graduated athe £Jigh school this spring, and is strongly recommended by the people of the tc/Wn. The course of instruction at Annapolis is thorough, and but com paratively few complete it. The vacancy in this instance was caused by the fail ure of a student to pass an examination. Each congressional district in the country is entitled to one student, and there are eleven at large, but of the nearly four hundred in all not one in four graduates. Mr. Finley McNutt is the last one from this distjict who} completed the course. He is naturally what called a "hard student," and he went through with credit, He was living in Bloomington at the time, and that county, Monroe, was in this congres sional district, Morton C. Hunter being the congressman. 1

MY GENTLE FRIEND.

It was the winter of 1890. The new branch railroad into Phenix, A. T-» had been naming trains for two years, and invalids of the east were just beginning to learn that this metropolis of the southwestern desert land, with its dry air and abundant sunshine, afforded the finest winter climate on the continent, At the time I write the one train a day on the little branoh railroad connecting with the main line of the Southern Pacific was well loaded every day, and the hotels and boarding houses were striving in every way to accommodate the influx of winter visitors.

As is usual in most new western towns, especially of the intermonntain region, hotel accommodations were only mediocre, while the best restaurants were those connected with the big gambling houses.

For several days I had noticed a newcomer about the hotels and principal resorts of the town. His faoe had a strangely familiar look to me, yet I could not recall that I had ever seen it before. He was faultlessly dressed in clothes of the latest pattern, had a blond mustache, and but for his peculiar little gray eyes I should have pronounced him a very handsome man.

He seemed to be a total stranger, and as I would see him of an afternoon around the Commercial House, or in the evening watching' the games in "The Capitol" or "The Palace" and never talking with any one, I mentally set him down as the son and heir of some wealthy family who had sought a winter home in the desert that he might re turn in the spring a "new

11

I suppose had noticed him ror about a week or ten days before either he or I had the temerity to address the other. I don't know now which of us spoke first, but anyway it carno nbout in that free, open handed way of addressing a stranger which prevails in the south and west I had been quail shooting that day, and returning rather late in the evening went down to The Palace restaurant for my dinner in my hunting suit rather than disturb the folks at home with getting me a late meaL

An Old California oomrade had been With me all day, and after ordering our dinner we went out to the bar to try one of Frank's cocktails. Frank, by the way (or Francois, I should call him, as he was French), was a comparative newcomer from New Orleans, and as a mixologist exceeded anything ever before seen in Arizona. At least so all the boys about town said, and the old Hassayampas re-echoed their sentiment with hearty "that's what 1"

My comrade and I had disposed of the first concoction and were discussing the question of another of its same splendid quality when the stranger spoke of the superior excellence of Frank's mixtures. I don't know how it came about, but presently one or the other of us said in the most brotherly fashion, "Won't you join us?" to which the reply came, "Tho pleasure is mine!" and of cotirse it wound up by the pleasure belonging to both of ns before we again repaired to tho dining room.

Our newly found acquaintance had ordered his dinner about the same time as my comrade and myself, so we -all sat down to the same table. I felt rather honored at this attention of the stranger, for in all my observation of him I bad never before noticed him talking with any other Phenecian. He had a voice as soft and smooth as a woman's, and as he talked his language indicated the polished graduate of Yale or Harvard, with a finish of European travel.

Now, thought I, I will learn something of this man, where he is from and who ne is

As the meal progressed I had occasion to ask him to hand me the pepper. As he did so he commented upon the fact that most of the black pepper served on restaurant tables was not pepper at all, but a conglomeration of dried leaves and dings, much cheaper than the gennine article. His talk was learned, even classical, using medical terms and formulas with the familiarity of a chemist. From that he drifted on to places to spend the winter and incidentally referred to the fact that the last three winters previous to this one he had spent on the Riviera.

A question about Nice and Monaoc seemed to encourage him, and he went on with a glowing description of these famous resorts. "And, oh, what a glorious drive it is along the Carnicbe road," he continued, "with the never ending panorama of bay and sky with all their various tints and the magnificent mountain background! There is certainly nothing in America and, I believe, nothing in the world to equal it Then San Reno and Bordighera are pretty little resorts, and the visitor makes a mistake who'does not spend a portion of his time there." "I suppose yon have visited Genoa," I interrupted "Oh, yes, indeed." waa the repfy. "In fact I spent nearly three months last winter at Cannes and made the drive to Genoa several timeif with coaching parties. Too bad yon have not splendid drives here. What with such drives as along La Ri-ffera di Ponente, this wonderful dry air and beautiful winter sunshine, Arizona would socm become the greatest winter resort in the world."

In this strain he talked on, and I sappose we had been at the table nearly

VENING MAIL, JULY 13, 1895.

two hours when a messenger came in from my friend, the surgeon general, saying be had just been called on form important surgical caw and asking if I would not accompany hiro and administer the anaesthetic. My California comrade aud myself voted our new found acquaintance a most charming man and a capital fellow generally, though afterward 1 remarked to myself that I had not as yet found out anything about where he came from or who lie Was.

Busy for the next few days, I thought but little more of this entertaining stranger. About a week later, however, I dropped into The Palace, just to see Who was there, and the stranger, quiet and uncommunicative as usual, was watching the games, nover standing, over auy one table for more than two or three minutes at a time. From hero I stepped into The Capital, and Bert, the head man, not being busy, I began a conversation with him. Presently the well dressed stranger came in, and I noticed Bert's eyes take on a rather defiant flash as be watched. ,him pass to the rear of the room. "Bert, who is that man?" I asked. "I've seen him about for some time now, but he never seomB to speak to auy one. Ho must bo some easterner here for the winter, isn't he?" "Why, don't you know that fellow?" was the quick response. "He knows better than to speak to me. He's the blank of a blank who killed Jim Fallon in Prescott five years ago. Why, yon remember his murder, don't you, general?" "No I don't recall it, Bert That was when I was in Montana, and I reckon the trial and all took place before my return." "Well, it was the most cowardly murder I ever knew, and if that duck had his deserts he'd have stretched hemp for it long ago. You knew Fallon, of course, who used to rim a 'bank' in Tombstone, and after the flush days there he moved to Prescott I^

I nodded assent, and he'went'on: "This fellow, Jack Underbill, Thimble Jack, who was nothing but a low do ii 'tin horn' auy way, got full one m\ lit and raised such a disturbance at Fallon's table that ho finally got up and kicked him out of the house. "Underhill was furious over this method of ejection, and for several days went arouud threatening- that lie was going to get even with Fallon. Some of Jim's friends told him he had better look out for Thimble Jack, as he was a treacherous cuss and would probably stab him in the back. But Fallon laughed at them, declaring that Jack was too big a coward to attack a child, let alone a man. "So the mattor run along for almost a week and nearly every one had forgotten about it, when one night about 10 o'clock, as Fallon was standing by the bar talking to some friends, this cowardly dog shot him in the bauk without the slightest warning. In the confusion he managed to get away and hid in the house of a frail woman. Talk of lynching was so strong the next day that he sneaked over "to the sheriff's office and gave himself up. Fallon lingered along for three weeks before he diejjL "When the trial came, this fellow's family or some of his friends, or some one in the east, put up the money for him, and he had half a dozen of the best criminal lawyers in the southwest defending him. For myself I always believed the jury was tampered with, too, for they only brought in a verdict of manslaughter and he simply got a sentence of five years, and what with good time he's out now. "I hope you havent spoken to him: for no self respecting white man like you ever wants to speak to such a cowardly dog as him."

And so this was my entertainer of a few evenings before. Then it dawned upon me why his face had always seemed familiar to me. As a territorial official I had often visited the penitentiary at Yuma, and here I had seen my friend of the Riviera, ray friend the gambler. —General Edward S. Gill in New York Recorder.

He has also examined tho account of tho money that has been expended in great wars in the same period and has discovered that tho sum total is far exceeded by tbat which has been expended in the cause of peaoe.

AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW WITH _A PROMINENT PHYSICIAN. mmm

Nerve Food. Vs"

"What a weak-kneed individual." The person referred to, did indeed look broken down, dispirited, and lifeless.

What is the matter with him I scarcely know. ring the cool weather, he seems to be all right, ana to have some life and a little ambition but the moment the hot weather comes he simply wilts down, and seems to have neither strength nor vitality."

That explained the case. The man was in a generally run-down condition with not enough reserve force to resist the enervating effects of the season. His nerves were weak, unstrung as we say. The food he ate only partially reinforced his strength. The result was, he had constantly drawn on his reserve force so lone that his nerves finally rebelled, and sounded the gong for him to stop. Ii the signal be heeded, and he takes steps to refresh, and build up his nervous system, he will recover if not and the strain goes on, nothing can save him. "There are a good many things recommended for this purpose. But the trouble with nearly all of them is, they are only tonics or stimulants. They apparently benefit, but it is only for a time then the patient is worse than before. But there is one food for the nerves, I am happv to say in which I have the greatest confidence, which is in reality *a food. It contains just those vitalizing principles, which impart new nerve force libuilds up the nerves, and by imparting to them new strength, gradually COAXES them back to a normal healthy condition. They are fortified against the hot weather, the man recovers his energy, his force and he walks with an elastic step. He drives his work with a will, where before it drove him. His spirits rise, and everything looks bright to him. This food is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which are now known and used the world over in North and South America, England and the English provinces, Canada, India, So. Africa, France. They are so widely known, and their excellent effects in nerve building so much talked about both here and abroad, that it is not necessarv for me to enlarge further on the subject But I assure you tne medical profession everywhere are very glad indeed to avail themselves of this nerve food, so scientifically compounded, and that they use it very largely in their practice."

Dr. Williams'Pink Pills for Pale People are now given to the public as an unfailing blood builder and nerve restorer, curing all forms of weakness arising from a watery condition of the blood or shattered nerves. The pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price (60 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50—they are never sold bulk or by the 100) by addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.Y.
