RAVE GIRLS DEED.

NJ
.Iss MAUD ANNIs, daughter Of the
captain of the British bark James H.
Hamlin, deserves to rank high among
the heroines of the sea. THE DIS
PATCH tells its readers the story of her
courage and perseverance, to-day.
When her fathers ship was taken by
that terror of the tropics, yellow fever,
Miss ANNIs was the brayest soul on
board. With the first mate dead and
the captain and the rest Of the crew i'll
and helpless in their berths, the Slen-
der girl and the second mate together
navigated the stricken vessel for many
days. 1t was a feat of endurance
as well as daring. To stand day
after day at the wheel OF sailing ship
for the length of time that Miss ANNIs
piloted the James II. Hamlin toward
port would have severely tried mus
cleS of steel. At length the strength
of the heroic girl gave out, and when
a pilot boarded them off Aux Cages.
Hayti, she, too, was delirious with fe-
yer. But her courage and conStancy
had saved the ship. The name of
MAUD ANNIs should not be forgotten
in the annals of feminine achievement.

PROVO DEMANDS A UNION
DEPOT.

There should be no cessation from
work with the people of Provo mt
the railroads consent TO give US, if ,o+
union depot, at least bette denot
facilities. The manner - n,hiob
Provo has been treated in tbio r.snact
has, to say the least, be on nniust Tb.
Indifference on the art Of the railway
companies has allied forth the indig-
natlCn OF 'he T ,eople, and the matter
snouio no" Js kept in agitation until
we get VT lat we ask for. The day has
pAfs1 and gone when a rough
ldmoe shanty would do for city the
mag Litude and commercial Importance
Oh Provo. What she now needs is a
s. -ructure worthy of her position. The
citiz ems have been doing their share
to bring Provo to the front, but the rail-
roads have not even shown a disposi.
tlon, to say nothing Of effort, to help
IN the good work. In consequence of
this, considerable Of this work ON the
part of the community has been
checkmated, for the visitor to our city,
and the tourist passing through en- route
to the East or to the West, have
formed bad impressions of Provo, on
account of the unsightly structures
dubbed depOts which first meet the eye
on entering the city.
We see no good reason why the U.
z. and the R. G. w. cannot join hands
and give Provo Union depot. This
would be much better than each of
the roads putting their means in separ-
ate structures. OF course we realize
that there is not sufficient ground
wherelthe depots are at present situat-
ed to do this, but we persume there
would he no difficulty in getting the
West Square, as this ground was prof
fered some time back to the Midland
Railway Co.
The Chamber of Commerce commit
tee on railroad is doing silent, yet
potent work in this depot question
and we have no doubt but that their
report at Friday nights meeting of the
Chamber will be NEST interesting.

ACORRECT DIAGNOSIS.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat con-
cedes that the party which wins the
presidency in 1892 will secure absolute
and undivided control OF both houses
Of congress. IF the Democrats carry
the country" that paper observes,
they will gain sufficient number of
legislatures to give them the senate. -
In the Fifty-second con gress the Re-
publicans will have a majority of
from four TO six in the senate. The
exact number can only be known with
the action Of the legislatures of Illi-
nois, Kansas and South Dakota.
There is no possible chance for the
Republicans to remain in power unless
they hold the presidency and regain
the house in 1892. NO reasonable
Republican, says the Globe Democrat.
''imagines il the party is beaten on
the presidential ticket in 1892 that it
can save anything out of the wreck. !"
This seems to be correct diagnosis.
The year 1892 ought to witness the
complete wiping out of the Republican
party.

Ho Saved Something.

We meet many peculiar character |o.n
this world | ran across a man once-and
he was man of intelligence and man of
splendid family, wealthy and all that
who lost his wife, and who in telling me
of his bereavement, said:
well, l will save something out of the
wreck. l can wear her stockings. See
here" and he rolled up his pantaloons.
Sure enough, there were women's stock
ings of fine texture and reaching away
above the knee. He proceeded to explain
that he had bought her several pairs at 81
each just week before she died, but she
had never had any use of them, and he
would have to wear them out, though he
WAS sorry he had bought them
The idea was so funny that it was all l
could do to keep from laughing right out,
as the saying is, but the man was SC very
serious that repressed the inclination to
do so. told him it was sad, but as long
as he could save something out of the
wreck by wearing his dead wife's hosiery
he was not in such a bad fix, but still he
could not see the ludicrous side of his mar
rative.-St. Louis Giobe-Democrat.

Story of an Intelligent Cat.

A New Hampshire physician sends me
the following cat story. for which he
vouches:
Among other queer tricks Dick will
take Off my glasses very carefully with his
paw, hold them with one claw and survey
them with great apparent interest
''The first time he did this was one night
when he had been mapping and reading.
He is great pet, and going to him bent
over without indicating by any motion
my meaning, and said gently:
Dick, if you want 20 go to bed take off
my glasses.
HE Immediately reached up a paw and
.cok them eff as DEITY gs though it were
Rn old habit. Thinking this happen So
put them on and made the same request
in different words, with precisely the same
result. After one more repetition he
yawned and plainly intimated that was
enough. "-Philadelphia Times.

DURING the campaign of 1883 Mr..
HARRISON, Mr.. BLAINE and other
Republican statesmen were loud in
their denunciation of the policy of the
CLEVELAND administration in permit
ting the public money to be deposited
in certain national banks: and when
Mr.. HARRISON became president it
was announced by Mr.. WINDOW, his
secretary Of the treasury, that these
funds had been called in and that there
would be no more deposits of that
kind. According to the report of Mr..
HUSTON, the United States treasurer,
recently submitted, the Government
now has on deposit in various national
banks the sum of $50, ,O47, 1926. So
much for Mr.. HARRIsoN's pretended
show of virtue.

THE relations between the advertiser
and the newspaper are closer than be-
tween individuals in business transac-
tions. The newspaper brings business
to the advertiser as no other agency
can do. 1t makes the public familiar
with his name and the merits of his goods
and wares. It extends a daily invita-
ton to the public to visit his place of
business, and the return is always
commensurate with the amount of
advertising done. On the other hand,
the advertising patronage of a news
paper is not only it's main source of
revenue, but is the measure of it's pop
ularity and value. There is no other
business transaction in which the
benefits are so thoroughly mutual as in
newspaper advertising.

permits him to light, the officer, without
further hesitation, goes ahead; but, if
the decision forbids him to go upon the
dueling ground, the case becomes seri-
Gus for the insulted officer, because
every officer who does not obtain salts
faction for an insult is obliged to quit
the army. And it is the same if the in
sulter refuses reparation. Under these
conditions, the German officer may be
compelled, in spite of himself, to hand
in his resignation. Even if the tribunal
decides that the insulter is not worthy
to cross swords with an officer, the lat
ter, finding himself in the impossibihty
of exacting satisfaction, has no other re-
course than to resign. And if he does
not resign in twenty-fours, he will be
compelled to do so by the tribunal Of

Arteslan Irrigation.

South Dakota has taken lesson from
her various droughts, and is preparing to
irrigate the whole state. There are no
lakes or rivers whence to draw the water
supply, hence artesian wells must be re-
sorted to. There is state board of irri-
cation, and a state engineer of the same
The possibilities of artesian wells seem
infinite. They can be utilized as power
for mills, farm carpenter shops and dai-
ries. The overflow can be gathered and
turned into pool for pretty fish pond,
making a picturesque object in the land
scape and giving a valuable food supply
in a state where fish are in the nature of
things scarce. Once drilled, an artesian
well will turn desert into an oasis
which will produce more abundantly
than land where rainfall is sufficient to
be depended on.
But the question is, How shall the
wells be dug2 They are expensive, the
machinery for digging them is costly
and liable to make an unexpected break
just when consequences are worst. The
state board of irrigation has this and
other problems to face, with a determi-
nation to solve them. The Dakota Farm
er proposes that several farmers club
together and build wells for each other
on the cooperative plan. The ma
chinery costs from $1,000 to $1,000.
Companies are SO anxious to dispose
of their goods that they will sell ma
chinery on time, part cash, the rest in
one or two years. With these induce
ments farmers might manage to get
four or five wells with one set of ma
chinery, doing the work as well as buy
ing the machinery on the cooperative

How much money is spent in a
single year in newspaper advertising?
is question sometimes raised, but in
reply to which it is impossible to give
anything but a very rough guess. The
following is rather ingenious way of
estimating it: According to that vera
cious authority, the American News
paper Directory, the total yearly output
of newspapers in the United States and
Canada is 3,4S1, $4,000 copies. Es-
timating the price of these at three
cents piece-which is surely low
enough for an average price-we secure
the figures s104, AS, 300. Now it is
generally admitted that a newspapers
income from advertising is in excess of
its income from sales of papers. Con-
sequently, at the very lowest limit, the
amount Of money spent in newspaper
advertising in the United States and
Canada annually may be estimated at
ITO millions of dollars. This does very
well for starting point; can some one
suggest better method of getting at
these figures?

WHAT SHALL BE DONE2

The tramp nuisance is becoming
alarming. People are not only nervous
about being out at any reasonable
hour Of night, but it is getting SO that
they feel insecure in their own homes.
Men are 10th even to leave their fami-
lies in the day time while they go to
their work. At night they go to repose
not knowing but what the brazen
tongue of the ire boil will arouse thsm
from their slumber. 1t is truly most
alarming time. Here within a very
short period several fires have oc-
Cured, that have been the dastardly
work Of the tramp. True, the build
ings burned have only been stables or
barns or stacks Of hay; but who can tell
but what the next confagration will
be one of our best business blocks :?
Wher man gets so depraved that he
will wreak his vengeance on an officer
Of the law or an individual for refusing
him something to eat, by deliberately
setting fire to an out building, there is
no security against him placing the
torch to a more valuable structure

had been in the centre of Union Block,
what would have been the result un-
der the circumstances as they then
existedl Why there would not haye

to give any account OF himself. was at
once taken to the city bastile. The
police cannot do any more than they
have been doing.
Then what next? 1t seems to US,
then, that the next best move would
be for the city to go 10 work and do
something with the fire department.
At least two men one, for the engine
and another fer the hose and fire ap-
paratus, should be given monthly sal
aries to attend to the work Of the de-
partmsnt, and keep things in readi-
ness for emergency. Even these two
men, upon an alarm Of fire being given,
could get the engine 10 the scene of
the confageration and at least have
everything ready to force a stream of
water through the hose as soon as it
could be coupled.
We would recommend to the City
Council that they give this matter some
consideration at their next session.
