Do Not Blow Ont a Light

If your wick is dirty, if your oil is
poor, if your wick doesn't fit its slide
tightly, then sparks may drop from the
wick into the oil chamber, or the wick
may fall through its tube into the oil.
The greatest danger with an oil lamp
is in blowing it out; don't do that but
turn it out.

Religious Conferences.

The Rev, John Henry Barrows, d.
o., chairman of the general committee
Of the Worlds Congress Auxiliary on
Religious Congresses, has submitted
to President Bonney the report of its
proceedings, For six months the COM
mittee has been actively engaged in
the prosecution of the work committed
to its charge, and the submitted report
Is important as giving definite idea of
the magnitude Of the congresses.
The report says: without referring
TO the congresses of the various denoml-
nations, which promise to be numerous
and important, and to the interdenomi-
national meetings, which will have
equal significance, the chairman has
been particularly interested in the par
lament of religions, as the central,
unique, and an overshadowing achieve
ment to be labored for, To accomplish
this our main efforts will need to be
directed. In the summer of 1893 not
only Catholics and Professionals, Jews
and representatives of the Greek
church, but also Buddhists, Brahmins,
Confucians, Parsees and Mohammedans,
shall sit together in frank and friendly
conference over the great things of our
common spiritual and moral life, which
one fact will impart to the Columbian
Exposition celebrity and Importance
beyond all the colossal buildings and
Rl1y- piercing towers likely to be erected.

Dividing Illinois Money.
After many days and much hard
work the apportionment committee OF
the Illinois State board has managed to
make its announcements concerning
the money to be allowed each depart
ment. OF course many Of the estimates
were cut down, but In few instances
more money was given than was asked,
so that the total amounts are wide
apart, the amounts asked aggregating
S6O2, $50, while the appointments
amount to S720,000.
The estimates Of construction call for
$500, 900, which is divided up as follows:
Actual construction, S195, 800; statuary,

and exterior ornamentation, $40, 900; in
terror furnishings, SOS, 900.

ment asked for $50 900, and was allowed
that sum.

$4,000
The Board OF Charities asked SIS, 900,
but must get along with $25, 900.
In the Natural History department
the Geology and Archaeology committee
called for $65, 900, but the demand was
cut down to S40,0 900.

900, but 81, 900 is thought sufficient.
In agricultural circles $50, 900 was
asked. This was cut to $4,000.
Horticulture wanted 5000, but was
trimmed down to $4,000
The Committee on Maps, etc, asked
for 500, $50, but their demand was re-
duced to 1927, 900.
The change was the other way with
the estimate for State and county sta
tistics Here Sc, 900 was asked, but S.
900 was the sum allowed.
The Committee on Printing wanted
only S25, 900, but an apportionment Of
$50, 900 was made.
The sum of S175, 900 was allowed for
administration, including the cost of
ceremonies, receptions, per diem ex-
penses, salaries, rent, and contingent
expenses, ETC., etc.

In the Nick of Time.

The nick of time to stop the course of bladder and kidney complaints is when the organs concerned exhibit a tendency to grow inactive. The healthful impulse toward activity that they receive from Hostetter's Stomach Bitters rescues them from impending danger, and averts such dangerous maladics as Bright's disease and dia- betes. SluggiShness of the kidneys in- crease a liability to chronic rheumatism, gout and dropsy, and since the blood is filtered by these organs in it's passage through them, the operation of the Bitters serves a doubly happy purpose. The medicine acts without exciting, like the fiery stimulants of commerce. Malarial, dyspeptic, constipated and nervous individuals are thoroughly re- licved by it. Since the advent of that shocking malady, la grippe, it has been widely demonstrating its usefulness as a curative and preventive of it.

TIE engineers of the department of Missouri, under the direction of Gen.
 Nelson A. Miles, are preparing an elaborate map of the world, showing the almost utterly defenseless condi- ton of the eutiro coast lines of the United States. The location is also given of tho countless modern war vessels of other nations, which could sweep down on the United States and destroy it's coast cities in short order. General Miles has long been an advo- cate of stronger navy and better coast delen5es, and his preseu: map is being made for his own personal information. Eugland's great fleets loom up all over the map. France aud Germany come next in strength, England has great fleet of nearly fifty modern war ships which are at all times within from one to six weeks sail of the United States. 'Many of England's ships which crmst along the north and south Atlantic coast',n says General Miles, "can nav igatc the St. Lawrence and get into the lakes with ease. Along the Pacific coast great fleet constantly cruises
 and the morning guns of the British | yCSscls stationed oII British Columbia can be heard every day in the State O 1 Washington, In forty-cight hours thi' fleet could have San Francisco and tn, other Pacific coast cities completely d

COUNTY oFrIcEns, FEES.


 The taxpayers of Arizona have been wondering why the taxes should ever be on the increase, and now that they have reached such q rate as to become burdensome, they demand that rigid economy be had and that every expense that can be cut oll bc done as soon as possible, The fee system of paying county officers in addition to the salar- ies allowed by law is one evil which increases our taxes. That all county officials should be allowed a reasonable salary all taxpayers admit. Inc vari- ous county offices require the attention of but half the time of the officials, and at most, three men could do all the work of Coconino county and have plenty of time to '.go fishing
 There are but few county officials in the Territory who could, in ordinary business positions, command salary of more than sl 800 per annum, Yet the majority of them receive twice, and in some instances, four times that amount, and the taxpayers have to pay it.
 The county of Coconino pays nearly as much for the running of one office as the combined salary of all the county officials should be, and the taxpayers wonder why the county treasury is eN- hausted and our taxes are burdensomc,
 The plea that good men eau not be found to fll the county offices if the salary is not a large one, is a seemingly fair one, but it is fact that business houses houses have no trouble in find ing good men to fill even more re- sponsible positions at small salaries in comparison to the services required from them as compared with the county official. ...-..
 If the business man pays the worth of hls hire, why should the county be required to pay more for the services of its officials than they are worth'

 Many of the Senators who favor tho free coinage of silver arc active in their opposition to the confirmation of MT. T. Jefferson Coolidge as Minister to France. So serious has this opposi- tion become that q resolution was offered in executive session by Sem ator friendly to President Harrison, requesting the withdrawal of the nom- inatiop. The resolution was defeated, which may mean either that a majority of the Senators intend to vote to con firm the nomination, or just the re- verse, as it may be that the silver Senators object to letting President Harrison down so easy, preferring to have the Senate reject the nomination. Senator Hill sprung new question on the politicians. How many mem- bcrs will there be in the next electoral college9 MT. Hill contends that the electoral college cannot be legally based upon the new Congressional ap- portionment, and that its membership
 
 will be I2l, instead of Al, as most people have been figuring upon., As yet Mir. Hill is alone in his opinion, but he sticks to it, and insists that the vote of the national conventions shall be reduced to the old figures, with the votes of the states admitted since 1888 added.
