IRRIGATION ESTIMATES.
HsW The Vast Ara II Arid Lands IN lie Elited
States Can De WatEed..-AR AdVOcate
u Private Enterprise Under
Government Direction.

Major Powell, chief Of the federal CON-
mission to investigate the question Of the
irrigation Of arid lands and to recommend
the best scheme for accomplishing that
purpose, read paper on the subject be-
fore the New York chamber Of commerce
last week. He began with the statement
that about half the lands Of the United
States, exclusive Of Alaska, are arid.
These lands, so far as they can be brought
under cultivation by irrigation, are the
best in the country, because the crops are
certain, not being subject TO the changes
Of extreme wet and dry seasons, as In the
case Of lands dependent upon rain. OF
! ,OO0, ,O0O, 900 acres Of land in the United
States about G, ,00O, 900 are now under cul-
tivation by irrigation, and about l2O, ,OOO,-
900 altogether can be rendered arabic by
that method. Major Powell estimates
that the construction Of reservoirs, canals
and other works necessary will cost at the
rate Of $40 an acre. Assuming that lOO,-
900, 900 acres are to be redeemed in this
way, the cost will aggregate 81 ,OO0, ,OOO,-
900. When storage reservoirs and irri.
eating canals are completed vast water
powers will be created, suitable for manu-
featuring purposes. These will exist at
points on canals higher up than those at
which waters are to be taken for irriga-
ton. The government, Major Powell
says, should not be allowed to furnish any
money for the compilation Of this great
system Of works for the preservation Of
the forests and parceling out Of the water.
Many thousand men will be necessary,
and to put this matter in the hands Of the
government would be to build up a bu-
reaucracy and an army Of officials. He
thought the government should only fur
nish wise laws 70 control the operations
Of this work. The people would natur-
ally combine by by ydrographic basins, that
is, in the territory covered by 4 single
stream and its tributaries within single
watershed. Courts should be established
to adjudicate upon all questions arising
from this condition Of affairs, though the
government itself should apportion the
water among the different states In each
district. Major Powell suggests that the
money for carrying out these great schemes
might be raised by the issuance Of COM
munity bonds or other similar method.

THE FAMOUS ROHAI PUIU.
HOW A Drink Made Exclusively lsF ths POps
Became General.

The history Of punche q Ia Fomaine d
curious. It had been the summer 70
treatment Of successive popes for over 80
years, and their chefs were threatened
with all kinds Of horrors and punish
ments u they ever divulged the secret Of
its preparation. When Napoleon In
vaded Italy In 1876 this terrible interdict
was broken through. A son Of PiuSIV.'s
chief coniectioner, by name AEolas, as
soon o. he found the French were con-
quarors, ran away from his father and
united his fortunes with them. This
young man became the favoFite servant
Of the Empress Josephine and after her
death became cook TO the Russian Prince
Lieven, whom be accompanied to London
when that prince was appointed ambassa-
dor TO the court Of St. James. This Rus
sian first made his papal beverage In
London by introducing Il at the princes
table. The prince regent asked Tor the
recipe and permitted copies 10 be given
10 q select few Of his friends, and BY de-
grees Il became better known, and Il now
well known all over the world.
The original vatican recipe is: "'Pre-
pare very rich pineapple sherbet; have
L little tart with lemon juice, taking
the greatest care that none Of the zest or
oil from the yellow rind, or the bitterness
from the white underlying pith be
allowed 10 enter into the composition Of
this sherbet. In order 10 be certain Of
this Il is better, hFst, 10 crate OF the yel-
low rind from the lemons, then 10 care
fully remove all the white pith, and, 10
make assurance doubly sure, wash the
skinned fruit in clear water, after which
press out the Juice free from the rind Of
the fruit; strain the juice 50 ns to remove
all the seeds or pips from IL, then add Il
to the pineapple mixture. Il must be
then very weliirozen. This sheFbet, be-
ing very rich, will mot freeze hard, but
win be q semi-ice. Just before thepunch
is to be served add and work into Il for
every quart Of the ice one gill Of Jamaica,
and Tor every two quarts one pint Of the
best champagne. Never, use the wine
from damaged bottles or leaky corks, o.
u will be sure 10 depraye and perhaps
entirely spoil your punch. After you
have well Incorporated these liquors add
cream or meringue mixture. ."-Analyist.'

One Of the distinguishing features Of Tho

that Harlequin, like the clown, was q

quotes an expression Of Apulcius, MINI

attire, which he describes as being ''com.

Christmas time, with It's laying off Of
dull and careful things, brings with It to
the amusement seeking mind Q memory
Of cap and bells, Of Columbine and Har-
lequin, Of Pantaloon and fairies, ,minstrelsy
and the lighter froth and bubbles that
rise to the surface Of the plot that actors
have to keep boiling. and sizzle and
burst with the efIervesence Of fun un-
trammeled. For many and many long
year, in the most comfortable Christmas
keeping country in the world, England
to-wit, the sword Of lath and the tumb-
ling antic pantomimo has reigned over
the long season Of holiday with undis-
puted sway. And, everywhere, since
first the actors art took form, the panto-
mimic branch o. 1t has claimed the time
for its own. It's earliest forms, heavy and
fraught with painful religious interest,
have long since passed away, the linger-
ing Oberammergau alone remaining To
give the people Of this day and genera
tion an idea Of how the monkish ruling
element Of olden government and society
put all things to their lugubeTious uses.

Congressman Oates Interviewed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The Post Uo-mor-
row will print an interview with Congress
nan Oates, of Alabama, one OF the Demo
cratic leaders who made fight last winter
against the direct tax bill.
Upon the organization Of the next House,
Oates says, the Democrats should not en-
trust their leadership to one man, but put
= committee in charge, who shall determine,
subject TO caucus the line of action to be
pursued on political measures. "NoW, If
The Republicans will act fairly and square
iy. if they viii treat the minority in a spirit
Of fairness, the Democrats will act in the
same spirit toward them. We will not
adopt obstructive tactics, but will rest
content with recording our negative
votes, throwing the responsibility for legis-
.ation on their shoulders. Even with the
Congressman from the new states they
will have only three over a quorum, and
they win never, feel confident, be able to
muster a quorum of their own party at any
time. The Democrats with thirteen ma
lority only once succeeded, by strenuous
efforts. in getting q quorum of their own
party and that was to vote on the tariff
bill"
AS to the speakership. Oates SAYS he be-
Iieves Mckinley will be elected.
"HOw about u revision of the rules!n
"Ihere is where the Democrats must
show tirmness. I say plainly I think the
Republicans will Try 10 ride rough shod
oyer us. Their first attempt will be in the
organization of the House. Instead of
adopting, according 10 precedent, the rules
of the previous house, they viii attempt to
proceed under general parliamentary rule S
10 orranize aud thrust upon us set of
rules that viii give the Democrats COM
Dletely into the hands OF a bare Repubi-
can majority Yet l am in favor of revi-
sion. 4 two-thirds majority, for instance,
ought to be able to suspend the regular
order and take up any measure. This
privilege ought TO be defeated by single
objection But l am opposed to bare ma
jority having that power where the majo-
rity is 101 and the minority 100. The hun
bred minority is as apt to be in the right as
the majority.n

The Trial Of Henry s. Ives.

New YORK, Sept. l6.-The trial OF Henry
S. Ives was resumed this morning. E. w.
Woodruff, confidential secretary to Ives,
and later secretary of the Cincinnati, Ham
ilton & Dayton railway, was called to the
witness stand. The witness gave a history
of his relations with Ives and Stayner
After they had secured control of the Gin
cinnati Hamilton & Dayton road,
the firm proceeded at once to
make a heavy oyer-issue Of stock in
the names of the clerks in Ives e.
Stayner's Office. An oyer-issue OF 10000
shares of the face value of Sl0c, 900, was
made by the witness on Ives's order and
delivered to Zimmerman to cover Ives's in
debtedness to Zimmerman. On the Sun
day pI evious to August II 1888, the wit
ness, on Ives's order, took the stock gegeF
to Ives's house in Brooklyn and burned it
