The Hose Test.

A large number of citizens as well
as members of the city council watched
the fremen test the new hose last even
ing. Hose Co. No. took part of the
hose to the corner of Mulberry and
Second street and No. took the re-
mainder in front of the opera house
One section at a time was tested and
then in double sections. The last trial
was when after a full stream had been
turned on with $50 pounds pressure to
the square inch four men kinked the
hose to shut off the water entirely.
There was not weak spot anywhere
and the companies declared that the
hose gave complete satisfaction. The
council evidently agreed with them for
at the meeting the hose was accepted
and the bill for the purchase price al

An EaSy Game,

James Taylor, the man who was done
out of 81 $50 at Solomon, was in the
city last evening interviewing Sheriff
Nall regarding the possibilities of re-
covering his money. He says that the
reports regarding the manner in which
he lost his money are wrong. He was
approached by the circus sharpers with
the proposition to act as advertising
agent for the remainder of the season.
They would only engage him, however,
on condition that he showed himself a
man of means. He went to the bank
and got $3.50 TO exhibit to them.
They counted it and failed to give it
back. He is almost crazed over his
loss and being entirely unable to de-
scribe the men fully for Identification
seems to be aSsuredly berefU of his cash.

1t transpires that the reason Prof.

Of clothes was because of the avar-

him of his best UnmentiOnableS and

evening. They slipped upstairs and
entered his room, which was unlocked,
helped themselves and escaped. Van

since. He will now go upon the plan
of only owning one suit and wearing
that all the time.

ErrOrs in Journalism.

Sometimes errors occur in journalism
which when fully understood are
ludicrous in the extreme and it is not
infrtqueEtly the case that the indi-
vidual interested is glad he is a stranger
and THAT hut for correction the world
would not be the wiser. Such is the
case with Nh William Hoilinger, of

An Ideal Preacher.

Rev. ]. A. Bright in a personal letter
to the editor of the REFLECTOR make:
the following interesting estimate Of
two of London's greatest preacher:
aud also speaks of some other current
matters Of interest:
The renowned Rev. DR.. Joseph
F,lAul breaches DOl only OH Sunday
but also every Thursday noon at pre-
cisely y o'clock. We had the pleasure
Of hearing him, and certainly do not
hesitate in pronouncing him one Of the
greatest preachers we ever heard.
AN IDEAL PREACHER.
We also attended Rev. Chas. Spur
geon's preaching at the Metropolitan
tabernacle, where we saw about 5000
people listening to the great preacher.
The sermon was so good and edifying
that We went back to the tabernacle
for the evening sermon, and also had
the pleasure of attending communion
and partaKing of it in company with
about 1900 other persons. Mr.. Spur
geOn is not in favor Of close COM
munion, but on the other hand cOrdi-
ally invites all christian believers to
the communion table. His whole Ser
mon on the above occasion was or
Christian Union" and was grand
effort. Sturgeon is the writer's ideal
preacher. Long may he live to preach
the everlasting gospel of the Son of
God. The writer had the pleasure of
visiting his Sunday school and of de-
livering d short address; and also of
speaking at the Sunday afternoon
prayer meeting.
WONDERFUL CONVENTION.
The Worlds Sunday-SchoOl cOnven-
ton was most wonderful affair and
we regret that time and space will not
permit us to go into detail. The pro-
ceedings, however, will be published in
pamphlet form and may be ordered, in
due time, by our American readers by
writing to the London S. S. Union, No
56, Old Bailey, London, England.
Ever since the final adjournment of
the convention We have been spending
our time in sight seeing all over this
most wonderful continent. l will not
begin to enumerate all the great places
of interest. Every American who has
been here visits the same places of
curiosity and wonder, such as St.
Paul's, Westminster Abbey, the
Crystal palace, London Tower, Brit
ish Museum, etc, etc.
We forgot to state that We attended
a large and enthusiastic temperance
meeting on the Crystal Palace grounds.
1t was held in the Rosary and the
writer was invited to make a short ad-
dress. The people Of England are get
ting wide awake on the temperance
question:, and on Sunday closing. rs
they call it, and the future will develop
great things for England.

LONDON GLEANlNGS.


LONDON, July l0.-The Liberal leaders
have determined to bring up for discussion
in the house at all early date the question
of outrages in Armenia. They believe
that Lord Salisbury attaches altogether
too much importance to the denial which
emanates from Turkish sources and they
claim to have positive information that
the reports of cruelties practiced upon the
Armenian Christians by the Mohamme-
dan rulers have not been exaggerated.
Ma. George Lewis, one of the counsel
for the Parnellites before the Parnell COM
mission, has sent a summons to Mr.. Hous-
ton. the secretary of the Irish Loyal and
Patriotic league to produce the books of
the league. He has also subp9naed per
sons who loaned Houston money. 1t is
considered probable that Justice Hammer
will exclude the evidence on the ground OF
irreevancy.
The queen and the prince of Wales are
very much chagrinned at the treatment
accorded them in the house Of commons
by referring the whole question OF dow
cries for the young princes and pTincesses
to a committee on royal grants. The gov
eminent having been forced by the treat of
determined Liberal opposition to accept
the royal grants committee, now
finds itself antag3nized by the
the whole committee business Under
threat of revolt they have already e1torted
from Mr.. w. II. Smith, first lord OF the
treasury, the promise that the cases OF
children in the direct line of succession TO
the throne shall not be included within
the scope of the committees inquiry.
The German government evidently has
no disposition to forget its grudge against
Switzerland. The Berlin authori-
ties today announced that they have
put on a new express train between Berlin
and Rome, which will run by way of the
Tyrol and the Bremen Pass, thus avoiding
Switzerland altogether.
Il is significantly commented upon in
Berlin that the emperor has not of late in
vited Count Herbert Bismarck to accom-
pany him on any of his numerous excur-
sions. The count is quietly spending his
holiday in the Taurus mountains.
Councillor Altman and his son, Franz,
engaged jointly in the banking business at
Bingen, have been convicted of fraudulent
practices and sentenced, the father to
three years and the son to four years penal
servitude.

sary Pluck to Win 1t.
Don Luis Mazzantini. who has been
sent to the Paris exposition by the Spsn-
ISL government to show Parisiana how
10 fight bulls, is the king Of matad0rs.
Several years ago he WAS government
officer in the Spanish telegraph service.
He received a good salary, a. salaries in
Spain go, and was altogether as prosper
Gus and influential as an untitled Span
lard could hope to be. He had a morbid
desire for notoriety, however, and gave
up his job under the government 20 join
an opera company. He sang in light
opera with fair success for a year. Then
he left the stage because musicians tod
him he could never become u great ar
fist, and took lessons in bull fighting.
His family considered him disgraccd and
all but disowned him, for from official
life to bull pit is tremendous distance
down the hill in Spanish opinion. The
bull fighters are usually men OF the same
education and social standing in Spain
as the horse jockeys in America. The
son of bull fighter usually follows his
fathers vocation, because in any other
calling his fathers reputation would be
something of repToach 10 him and an
obstacle to success. The bull fighters in
the big Spanish towns are known mostly
by their nicknames only. The death Of
a skillful bull fighter is lamented princi-
pally because his skill in the bull pit dies
with him.
Mazzantini thought be could rise above
most of these disadvantages of his new
business, and he did it with unprece-
denied rapidity. a young Spaniard.

the picadores and banderilleros who pre-
pare the bull for the fight by pricking
him with darts and waving flags before
him before appearing as full hedged

TIM served no such apprenticeship. At
Ter taking few private lessons he made
his debut as matador. Every one laughed
at him at first he was ridiculed as the
clown Of the bull pit, and got nicknau1es
enough FOR dozen bull fighters. Once
he was so severely gored by a bull that
it was thought be was dying. As soon
"a he recovered he was again In the
ring, as plucky and persistent as ever.
His grit won him favor. His popularity

The One Cent Rate Not Made and Grand
Army Officials Act.

CHICAGO, July 10.-The fight between
the Grand Army of the Republic and the
various railroad companies reached an
acute phase this evening. This was the
last day of the period named by the Grand
Army men when the railroads might
gracefully surrender and grant the
usual rate of l cent per mile to
persons attending the great annual en-
campment announced to take place this
year at Milwaukee. No surrender was
made by the railroads and this afternoon
the committee of Grand Army department
commanders who have been agita-
ting the subject, held a meeting here
and proceed with an attempt to carry out
the threat that in the event Of the rail-
roads proving obstinate the encampment
should be made If possible merely an as
semblage Of delegates, instead of huge
popular gathering. The committee voted
to send a circular letter to department
commanders throughout the country urR-
ing that attendance on the encampment
be limited SO far as practicable in the
manner described.
Preparations at Milwaukee for the en-
tertainment of the great crowds expected
at the encampment have been virtually
suspended owing to the dispute with the
railways and today's action ofithe commit
tee of commanders may, 1t Is feared, render
the stoppage permanent.

Ex-Governors Pierce and Ordway seem to
have pretty sure thing of the United
States senatorial positions, while General
Allen is leading for governor. These are
all Republicans. The Democrats are pre-

hardest for it. They hope for much from
the personal popularity of their candl-

Only nineteen out of the seventy delegates
