The Strides the Old Pueblo is Making
 Toward Bstter Times.
 From the Tucson Citizen.
 Tucson has every reason to be satis- fled over the immediate outlook in a business way. The council has granted the Military Plaza to the syndicate who is to erect a $l00, 900 hotel at once. .
 The Board of Supervisors has agreed to vote $200, 900 ln bonds to aid the con struction of the Tucson, Calabasas X Northwestern railroad, which will result in our having & connection with tide. water at Guaymas and a north and south road to tap the Atlantic X Pacific.
 The Santa Cruz Water Storage Com. pany has been incorporated within the past twenty days with capital stock oi $l ,000, 900. The principal places of busi' ness are Tucson, New York and London.
 The Santa Cruz Land Company has also been recently incorporated with Q capital stock of $500, ,000, which is princi' pally subscribed in London.
 The Tucson Improvement Company has also been organized with the pur' pose of digging artesian wells, purchas' ing I,nds, erecting blocks, constructing street railways and furnishing light and power by electricity. The capital stock is S500, 900, also principally subscribed in England.
 Work is now progressing on the road from San Quentin, Lower California which is to cross the Colorado river al Yuma and has Tucson for an objective point.
 We are assured also by the general manager of the Altar Land Company ot Mexico, that the railroad through that section which has been in contemplation some time will speedily be built, and that Tucson will be the main point or the line. ..
 It will be perceived readily that Tue son is preparing for rapid strides for ward in healthy way. The basis for g populous city here was laid when the Almighty completed the conhguratior of the Great Southwest. Itis written iu our stars and all that is required is en' erey and capital,

Initiating Q Stranger.

An Assistant Engrossing Clerk of the Legislature, who is not sophisticated in the arts of the practical joker, is sorry that he is away from home. Monday morning two of the cruel conspirators induced the yo1ng man to, hold a string from high place, to which they told him was attached badger. The sup posed badger was covered up by an in- yerted washtub and dog was held near by ready to bounce upon him as soon
 as the tub should be removed. The boy was told to pull the string from his perch when the tub was raised and the dog would be let loose. He pulled as in- structed and brought out vessel that
 made him blush. Monday evening the
 eredulous and innocent youth was taken out of town couple of miles and put in charge of the fabled snipe sack. The
 program was properly carried out and the boy plodded home in the mud and

CONFIRMED BY THE BISHOP.


nohHos OF the KNdtuFFSCttohs
The first class for confirmation in new
st. Andrews Church received the laying
on OF hands yesterd day morning. The
day was notable for several things. The
service was opened and closed with
hymns, the doxology was sung at the
offertory. the confirmation class was the
first in the new church, and deaf mute
was confirmed Another feature of the
service was that the Apostolic rite was
administered Immediately after the
morning prayer.
The congregation was large and the in
terest great. The service was interpreted
in the sign language by Rev. J. NJ.
Koehler, missionary to the deaf and
dumb, to number of mutes who sat IN
the front of the church. The class for
confirmation contained fourteen women
and eight men. Bishop Coleman con
hrmed them and gave them as their
text Psalm cxxiv q; "0ur help stand
eth in the name Of the Lord, who hath
made heaven and earth"
Bishop Coleman preached q powerful
sermon from the text. Acts /: IS 81,
dwelling particularly ON the closing por-
ton; Must one be ordained to be q
witness Of His resurrection He said
IN party cit is a significant fact that the
remaining apostles decided to select from
among the many disciples. one who was
a witness Of Christ's resurrection He
was not to be witness of Christ's death.
but of bis resurrection This fact is i'm
portaHt now as showing the great object
Of Christianity. 1t gives us a reason for
being a Christian, for suffering, for
waiting, for working, for self denial To
the unconverted. death is a leap in the
dark, to us 1t is change to the light
be said 1t always panied him TO hear
persons say they were only killing time.
This Is sad error when there is so much
work to do for the good of others. Kill
ling time is a crime for which persons
must answer Although those who are
witnesses of Christ's resurrection may
be sorrowful now. their sorrow shall be
turned to joy which cannot be taken
away. Are we witnessesg Can we
truthfully say we are witnesses, as that
term ia used in n court of justice? So
many of us are working for money and
fame, that we are doing nothing for the
church. So much talk of earth, so little
of heaven
In conclusion he congratulated the
class because its members had become
witnesses of Christ's resurrection and ad
monished them to be faithful, accept
log the means of grace and standing up
for The principals of the faith as ap-
proved and laid down by Jesus Christ.
He referred in strong terms to the gem
eral lukewarmness OF men who leave the
church going to their wives and children,
saying "0h yes, yes, nay wife and chill
dren go to church, but as for me, oh, no,
m man. He urged the fostering of
the spirit of earnestness which filed the
men of the early centuries who we're
always interested in the church.

sPRuANcs AND THE NEGRO.
The Republican Leader Helps Throw q
Co1ored Man from a Street Car.

&otoEeu NAAb from Street GAK.
William @ Spruance is the friend of
the negro for few weeks before an
election. No man howls so long and per
sistently for the sons of Ham and the
Black Mans Party. During this period
when the ballot of the negro is needed to
further the interests OF the Re-
publicsn party this Pecksniffiau
politician would fain make believe that
the negro is, II anything. two or three
grades above the white man in the
march towards ideal civilization. After
the election is over, however, the
''nigger is a niger" aud must be struck
down, even by the hand that gently led
him to the polls to deposit his ballot In
the interest of the g. o. p. Mr..
Spruance wants the ballot Of the negro
But he does not want the negro At
election time negro could put his arms
around his neck and Familiarity call him
"Bill, but he must not do il In off
years. A little incident of Saturday at
midnight will exemplify this:
Mr. Spruance went TO PHILADELPHIA
Saturday afternoon. He was accom-
panied by his wife. They came back to
Wilmington on the train leaving Broad
Street station at IL 16 p m. The train
arrived here shortly after 10 o'clock. A
car was waiting at the depot Into this
car the passengers crowded. William G
Spruance was one OF the crowd. On its
way up town the car picked up a negro
and negress. The colored woman
dropped her six cent fare snto the box.
The colored man dropped one cent in the
box and five cents to the floor where 1t
slipped under the mat, and despite every
Effort it remained there They appealed
to the driver and received scant courtesy.
An EVENING JOURNAL reporter, who
was on the car, gave the negro a quarter
and told him to pay his fare out of 1t.
he bought the ticket, and got it and the
change In a small envelope This he
handed to the reporter and stood waiting
for the envelope to be torn open He
had had q drop or two but as it did not
happen to be coon-trap whiskey, It did
not count with Mr., Spruance A lurch
Of the car sent, the negro against Mr..
Spruance and his companion Without
a word the willy Republican politician
caught the negro by the coat and threw
him half the length Of the car against a
white lady. rhe driver rushed back,
took the matter into his hands, threw
the negro into the street and told him
what he would do If he ever got on his
car again. Mr. Spruance leaned bsck In
his seat. looking as If his colored Reuub-
lican friend had brought pestilence into
the family by touching the hem of his
garments. The colored woman leaned
back in her seat and said, aloud.
Hes culled man Dots what's de
mattah. If hit had bin white man den
dey wouldn't hab put him off. !"
The driver made cents from the poor
negro and he and Mr. S2ruance were
happy.
