This Dog Has Another Day.

On Tuesday morning, as was his Gus
tom, Mr.. Littleield, of Valadosta, went
into the house where his puppy had
been put to bed at night and found him
dead He took him by the collar he
wore around his neck and laid him oE
the ground outside. Mr.. LittleGeld
went in to breakfast, and his wife in
quired after the puppy's health, asking
if he were asleep. Eyes, sleep from
which he will never awaken" Mrs. Lit
tlefeld sent servant with warm
blanket, with orders to bring the dog in
her room by the fire. So soon as the
servant saw the dog she replied, "He's
dead, sure"
Mrs. Littlefeld believed the same
thing, but placed the dead dog by the
fire, where she rubbed, rolled and patted
him, pried his mouth open. blew into it,
trying to initiate the lungs; placed him
in a hot bath, rubbed him dry, put
whisky down his throat. and was re-
warded by groan and movement of
enc foot and breathing. This treatment
by Mrs. Littlefield of his body was kept
up for three hours, when, to the delight
Of his owners, he could hold up his head,

UNCLE SANS FISH DISPLAY

The fish exhibit at the Worlds Col
umbian.. Exposition is to be wonderful
one, and not the least interesting portion
OF it, naturally, will be the aquarlal or
Live Fish display. This will be con-
tanned in a circular building, 135 feet
in diameter, standing near one extremity
OF the main fisheries building, and in
a great curved corridor connecting the
two.
In the center of the circular building
will be rotunda sixty feet in diameter,
in tho middle of which will be basin
or pool about twenty six feet wide from
which will arise towering mass OF
rocks covered with moss and lichens.
From clefts and crevices in the rocks
crystal streams OF water will gush and
drop to the masses OF reeds, rushes, and
ornamental semi-aquatic plants in the
basin below. In this pool gorgeous gold
fishes, golden ides, golden tench, and
other fishes will disport. From the ro
tunda one side Of the larger series of
aquaria may be viewed. These will be
ten in number and will have a capacity
Of seven thousand to twenty seven thou
sand gallons of water.
Passing out Of the rotunda by the en-
trance great corridor or gallery is
reached where on one hand can be
viewed the opposite sides OF the series of
great tanks and on the other a line of
tanks somewhat smaller, ranging from
$50 to l.500 gallons each in capacity.
The corridor or gallery is about fifteen
feet wide. The entire length of the
glass fronts Of the aqaria will be about
575 feet or over 5000 square feet of sur
face. They will make panorama never
before seen in any exhibition, and will
rival the great permanent aquariums of
the world not only in size but in all
other respects.
The total water capacity Of the
aquaria, exclusive of reservoirs, will be
1925 cubic feet, or 10000 gallons.
This will weigh 1922 pounds, or al
most 600 tons. OF this amount about
10000 gallons will be devoted to the
marine exhibit. In the entire salt
water circulation. including reservoirs,
there will be about $4,000 gallons. The
pumping and distributing plant for the
marine squaria will be constructed OF
vnlcanite. The pumps will be in dup
plicate and will each have capacity of
1900 gallons per hour. The supply Of
sea water will be secured by evapola-
ting the necessary quantity at the
Woods Hall station Of the United
States Fish Commission to about one
fifth its bulk, thus reducing both guam
tity and weight for transportation about
80 per cent. The fresh water required
TO restore it to its proper density will
be supplied from Lake Michigan. In
transporting the marine fishes to Chi
cago from the coast there will also be
an addition Of probably 5000 gallons of
pure sea water to the supply on each
trip.

Practically, all Of the white flannel

mel suits for tennis, cricket and other
outdoor costumes is imported from Eng
land Only the best qualities are used
by reputable dealers, and the best quail
ties are all subjected to shrinking pro-
cess unknown in the manufacture OF
common goods The reason for this is
that the fannels require more cleaning
than any other material while in the
tailor's hands Cheap hannels would
warp and draw all out of shape the mo-
ment the wearer happens to wet them.
The shrinking process Is carried on
mostly in the West End Of London by
the most experienced cloth workers.
1.-THE hannels are placed between
heavy wet sheets first, and left in that
position from twenty-four to thirty-six
hours When removed they are spread
out on specially prepared rails in dry
ing room heated by hot steam pipes,
where they are allowed to remain until
thoroughly dry.
THE next process is to place the
lengths of the flannel in folds between
layers of glossy paper and subjected to a
pressing by hydraulic machines.
THE more pressure they are subjected
to the more valuable and heavier the
flannel becomes.
There is a large sale of the cheap

reason there are SO many complaints
made against flannel clothing. A cheap

Ny attention has been called to IN
article in this evenings CITIZEN, COPIED
from the Phenix Herald of the 18th, il

Mr.. Horton first made direct bid on
the bonds, which must, from the read
ing Of this letter Of December 81, 1890,
have been subsequent to that date.
This being q fact, L have seriously
misrepresented Secretary Murphy, and
owe him a public apology, which l
hereby make. 1t certainly was not my
intention to misrepresent or in the
least mislead anything connected with
his bonded matter. l therefore take

tracing all that appeared in the Re-
publican that N any manner reflected

The above from the Republican Of
Saturday last, is self explanatory. The
letter of Mr.. Horton published in the

Wolfley to be clearly in the wrong. This

apology Of the wrong done the Funding
board. The apology is manly and
straightforward and will do much to

all of her female friends who can be

her social set She adds that as young
ladies have "coming-out" parties when
they are launched into the social swim,
it is only proper that the old maids should
be given ''going-in party" The COM

PROVIDENCE seems to be on the side
OF the American farmers this year
Abundant crops are the rule throughout
America, and the fact that tie cereal
crops are almost failures IN Russia and
India, which have been referred to as
Europe's granaries, makes it certain
that the American farmers Will be able
to get big prices for their products.
The farmers are to be congratulated;
they have had hard time for several
years, but their turn has now come, and
thanks to the Mckinley tariff law and
the big crops. they are to receive their
share OF the country's prosperity. Re-
publican legislation did not make the
big crops, but by enhancing the price of
products it enabled the farmers to get
the full benefit of those big crops.

THE Tucson papers, of late more es

The Tucson papers, of late more es
pecially, are devoting considerable edi-
torial space in saying and attempt
ing to prove, that they have the greatest
health resort on earth" This may be
true 10 a large extent, but why contine
the statement to q single city, town or
valley, when a remarkable sameness OF
climate and other conditions exist all
over the southern part Of our territory?
1t looks selfish, conveys wrong i'm
preston as to other points, and genenally
tends to show q personal motive by
booming strictly your own locality when
the matter of health is concerned.
When ii is once we'll known that such q
statement is widely in error, it will re-
suit in more harm than good. By all
means widen cut and include few more
OF our grand valleys, and you strike it.
-Stockman.
The foregoing is in the main true, but
at the same time il is not the intention
Of the CITIZEN to blow her horn for this
town alone, but for Arizona as whole,
and the south half in particular. We
say that Tucson can be made the "great
est health resort on earth" Notwith-
standing that we have individual inter
ests to preach up in Tucson, every sane
man knows that this pueblo, ancient and
honorable though it be, has no cinch on
the climate. The kisses of the sun are
shared by all equally, and the wind
bloweth where it listeth. All southern
Arizona is alike blessed with climatic sd
vantages that can be found nowhere else
in the Union, and as d health resort
there is no reason on earth why Wilcox
is not rs well favored rs Tucson. But
there are other things than climate TO
be taken under consideration. Tucson
has larger population than any OF her
sister towns, and as a matter OF conse-
quence has more monied wealth and
can offer greater inducement to health
seekers than her less fortunate neigh
5ors. In this lies wholly the advantages
claimed, and unquestionably they argue |
much in our favor, but we are Of the be- |
lief that TO one town in southern Ari-
zona can prosper and grow wealthy and |
strong, without giving wealth and
strength TO its neighbors in proportion
TO their own climate and financial ad-
vanteges. We want to see the whole
territory prosper not in spots, but as
whole, and We believe that the ap-
pointed hour for Arizonais advancement
is near at hand, and in this we know the
Stockman joins both hands and wishes.

and yet, deep down in the heart of every

that I don't know how to make the

THE SANTA CRUZ CANAL.

We find that as the public becomes
mere conversant with the plan proposed
by the Santa Cruz Water Storage com
pany to build dam in the upper SAINTS
Cruz, the more they are impressed with
the wisdom and success OF it. PartIcu
larly the old settlers who are best &C
qusinted with the valley, and have
known it longest.
The question Of the land, the amount
Of it, and the quality, In this climate is
conceded. 1t extends on both sides OF
the river from the dam down the valley,
covering an area wider and wider the
farther it comes. at Tucson, about 20
miles away the area that may be Irrigat-
ed is eleven or twslve miles wide, and II
may sweep around north Of Tucson Gov
sring the beautiful country northwest
extending to Red Rock. The grade
would permit the canal to 60 through
the pass near San Xavier to the beauti-
ful Sasabe fiat, over the range west Of
as.
The plan Of impoundIng water in an
immense reservoir by a dam at well
selected point, holding back the water,
and putting tito use instesa Of waste, is a
grand one. 1t is not new; water power
FOR machinery is older than steam, and
dams have been the means resorted to.
They are found all over New England,
and the mill race takes the water to
turn the wheel as the canal will take it
for irrigation.
from dams Impounding the water of
streams carrying much less water than
the Santa Cruz.
Water flowing IN q canal may be
transported long distances. The Arizo-
ma canal in Salt river delivers water at
PheniI nearly forty miles from its head
with very small loss by percolation and
evaporation. The time is very short,
much quicker than by river bed. Long
distance cansls under the hotter sun of
India have been in operation for years.
This question has gone beyond expert |
ment.
The altitude of the proposed dam is |
about two thousand feet above Tucson. |
Falls will be necessary, ensuring a
quicker flow and enabling the water to |
reach the whole mesa between the noun
tains in this part Of the valley, and for
many miles above.
While the work is q stupendous en-
terprise, yet there are no engineering |
difficulties to overcome, and it is after
all simple business proposition, and |
though it will be expensive. yet the re-
suits to be attained leave a very large |
margin Of profit.
To US, however, who are TO reap the
indirect profits, the results will be much
greater in the immense increase Of popu- |
lstion and wealth. Our towns, Nogales
Cslabasas and Tucson will grow rapidly
The homes of the people, all to be
constructed by the hand of labor, viii
afford employment for an army of men,
Tar beyond what we can do. The whole
valley will be changed from a barren
waste to a garden where all the fruits
and cereals grow, and all the domestic
animals breed and fatten. What a pic
ture the imagination creates as we think
Of what may be in few years!

SENATOR BRIcE, of New York, who,
by reason Of a liberal expenditure of
hard cash, is a member Of the United
States Senate credited to Ohio and who
for the same reason, is chairman OF the
democratic national committee, is in
some respects a man Of wisdom. Fore
seeing the defeat OF his party in Ohio,
and not wishing to be held responsible
for the same, he has turned the nation
al committee over to Senator German
and gone to Europe for an indefinite
stay. German, who is willing to take
desperate chances in order to swell his
Presidential boom, will practically con-
troll the democratic campaign in Ohio
md Iowa, and there are already grounds
for the belief that he proposes to adopt
he same dishonest methods by which
he State of New York was carried by
him for Cleveland in 1884, when a ms-
iority of It's honest votes had been cast
for Blaine.
