Referring to the possibility Of trouble with Italy and the discussion in regard
 to the ability of the United States to cope with a foreign power, General O. o. Howard pays high but just con-
 pliment to the energy of our people in
 the following language: Judging by , results, it is evident that we have peo. pie superior in what the French, during
 the revolution, called energy, to any
 other people. During the war the con- centrated energy of the north, or rather of the government, was against the con- cenirated energy of the south. Now these two forces have come together and the result is not easily estimated. When Robert E. Lee had our victorious troops in bis front at Williamsport, his engineers built bridge cf boats from blanks and boards in day; bridge that carried over the main portion of bis army and landed it in safety on the other shore'' h our march to Knoxville. Sherman
 ane his lieutenants bridged rivers in a
 night by using portions of their con-
 mands, SO that there was no consider
 able halt in the movement. Rallroads
 which had been thoroughly destroyed
 culvsrts burned and irons twisted, were
 so qnickly replaced that the trains hardly
 stopped running for single day. Ap-
 parently we have little artillery, but we have the men with the ability, the brains and the muscle out of which artillery will quickly spring"

Bee, Sugar lndastry.

Citizens oi Phenix are moving in the matter of establishing a beet sugar tae- tory in the Salt river valley. In addi- ton to the exemption from taxation provided by the last legislature the gem eral government provides q bounty of two cents per pound on beet sugar. The promoters of this enterprise in Phe- nix among other thing says: We imported from foreign countries during the last fiscal year, sugar, mo-
 lasses, candy and confectionery to the
 value of $roI. I.aos,Ss6, or sent away up wards of TOO million dollars which can
 be retained at home by encouraging the manufacture of domestic sugar.
 The average yield of saecharine mat
 sers in France is only 6 percent, in Ger
 many 10 psr cent.
 In California the average yield is IS per cent
 IL is confidently believed that the soil
 and sun of Arizona will yield much
 larger polarization from sugar beets
 than France, Germany, California Of
 any other country; and If these pIe-
 mises are correct the profits will exceed
 that of any other sugar factory in the United States.
 Land in Arizona will produce at less; twenty tons of sugar beets per acre, twice annually.
 The market price will depend on the quality ot saccharine.
 Sugar beets require neither bassing nor storage; but are cash at the mill; and the company might even be able to advance money an unincumbered land devoted to their cultivation. It is a matter of consequence in some
 parts of Arizona that sugar beets ex-
 nact alkali from soil better than any production.
 Alter supplying the home markets m Arizona with sugar, ,molasses. etc, trans portation is the most serious question, ! and the smaller bulk the production ol
 the country can be reduced into the
 better for the produccer. Sugar will bear transportation better
 than hay, grain or ore.
 A sugar mill at some railway depot
 with capacity of one hundred tons per
 day. at five dollars per ton for sugar beets. would be a great benefit to tho l farmers and merchants of Arizona. It is not to be overlooked that aftsl the saecharsne matter is extracted iron sugar beess the residuum forms excellen'
 food for sheep. cattle, hogs, poultry, etc. and nothing that comes from the soil i. wasted.
 The cultivation of sugar beets may
 be carried on by the least intelligent
 labor. Indians. Mexicans. children
 may all be employed in transplsntins
 the beets. and athering the crop.
 Only the mill requires intelligent labor Sugar industries are being started in many states of the union less adapted by nature to the growth of saccharins products than Arizona, and an effort oa
 the part of the residents may encourage assistance from abroad.

ADJUSTMENTS

Katie Emmett, one of the cleyerest
soubrettes on the stage, presented her
play, ''The Waits of New York" at the
Metropolitan Theater last night. The
company of Miss Emmett is q great deal
better than the play-in fact, it is troupe
of highly competent people, capable of
greatly better work than is cut out for
them in the piece. Miss Emmett per-
sonates hoy better than any woman we
have any knowledge of who has essayed
| such disguise. She is natural, vivacious,
at no time extravagant, and throws spirit
and strong color into all her dramatic
work. G. w. Thompson is one of the best
dialect Holland characters on any stage
Amy Ames has no superior in Irish
character acting. Mr.. Murdoch is a good
leading man, and Miss Emma Rice is a
clever Inlitator in song, a pretty dancer,
and has a good dialect part. The little girl,
Lillian, is precocious child, and plays
her briefpart with the ease of an adult. The
piece has some pretty scenic effects, and
| though the real fire engine" promised
did not fill tthe contract, the mechan-
lcai and scenic effects were good. The
play is melodrama with constant and
strong ripple of comedy. It is sensa-
tlonal i'll the degree that are all plavs
showing the lights and shadows of city
life. But in this piece there is little of
the Sums of the great metropolis shown
On the contrary the play moves upon the
plot of lost children, one of whom is in
the hands of an Italian cut-throat,
anotheris street bootblack land third in
the hands OF @ rascal who plots to convict
her innocent lover Of theft, to clear the
way for himself. OF course the wicked
fail, and the lowly, brave and honest
triumph. 1t is an old, old story in a new
setting by company that is competent
throughout. The play will be repeated
| tonight

POOR WILLIE BLACK.
Terrible Accident to a Fifteen Year.
Old Boy.
While Beating His Way, He Falls From
Car Into q Culvert-Both
Legs Mangled.

A pitiful sight was that which met the
eyes of visitors to the combination Police
Station and Receiving Hospital last
night. A poor, homeless boy lay upon
one of the operating tables in the deepest
agony, while City Physician Nichols was
dressing the terrible wounds that caused
him so much pain.
The doctor was assisted by Day Officer
Frank White, Major Gett, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Buckley and Special OFF,
Ger Goods.
The young sufferer was in a very bad
state. He had started out to beat his way
over the railroad to Reno, in company
with couple of other boys. and had
boarded wood-car in freight train No.
5, which left the city at $50 P. NJ.
When in the vicinity of Arcade Station,
few miles east of here, he fell between
the cars and dropped into culvert, after
having been dragged for some distance.
The accident must have happened before
7 o'clock and he lay there mangled and
bleeding until after s So'clock when he was
discovered by the track walker. The
latter FASTENED to the station, whence the
fact was telegraphed to the railroad office,
and locomotive and passenger coach
was at once sent out and the boy brought
to the Receiving Hospital.
DR.. Nichols found that the lads right
leg was fractured in two places below the
knee, and again above it. The bones of
the left foot were fractured across the
instep, and the great toe nearly cut off.
There were also several gashes on his
head. The poor boy was too weak to be
placed under the influence of ether, hence
he suffered greatly while his shattered
limbs were being set and bound in
splints.
He gave his name as Willie Black, and
his age as fifteen years. He said the last
he knew of his parents they were living
in Kansas, but he did not know if they
are now alive. He came here only day
or two ago from Oakland, having beaten
his way on the railroad.
He is a good-looking boy and ap-
parently rather bright. 1t is shame
that he should have to lie in the old jail
building, on hard bed, with no tenderer
hands than those of prison trusty to
minister to his wants, and without the
care and words Of cheer that only the
soft and sympathetic nature of woman
can bestow. Possibly, with tender nurs-
ing and the presence of some one TO en-
courage him to hope for the best, the
poor lad might recover; without these, it
is doubtful if he can survive the shock to
his system

The Girl Got the Beer. But Says it Was
Not From Him.
G. G. Freeman, clerk in the grocery
store at Seventh and p streets, was again
tried in Judge Cravens' court yesterday
by jury on charge of selling liquor to
minor. The jury selected were S.
Morris, l.. E. Smith, T. w. O'Neil, C. A.
Fisk, f. w. Schwamb, D. Jacobs, J. d.
Tate, Peter Beckendorff, A. c. Gridland,
I. Boysen, S. B. Smith and Frank Gehr-
ing.
The evidence was rather conflicting.
Mrs. Bagnall swore that Lille Thompson
got beer at the grocery store, and that she
was under the age of Is years.
The defendant admitted that he sold
beer to Lille Thompson, or a girl that
looked very much like her, but he stated
that he took pains to ask her if she was
Is years of age. He thought from her
appearance also that she was over age.
Lille Thompson swore that she pur-
chased beer at the grocery store, but not
from Freeman. She said she never bought
beer from him in her life. She insisted
that she was Is years Of age on the 18th OF
this month, as near as she could tell.
The jury retired and in n short time
brought in verdict of acquittal.
