A dispatch from Phmnix, Arizona,
says: "One of the most gigantic irrig.s-
ton schemes ever advanced in the United
States is being perfected near Yuma, in
this territory. The canal is now being
built and will be 1876 miles in length,
100 feet in width and IL in depth The
water will be taken out of the cast bank
of the Colorado river, and will give fer
Utility to millions of acres Of land hereto
fore belonging to the arid waste known
as the Colorado Desert. An immense
volume of water comes down the Colo
RADIO at all times Of The year, and there
is no necessity of dams or reservoirs to
hold reserve, yet, Notwithstanding the
advantages, no attempt has ever been
made to use it for irrigation purposes.
The land is now covered with waste
of cactus and sage brush, but everywhere
water touches it it is peculiarly fertile,
and especially is it adapted to the rails
ing of tropical fruits. The Sonora orange
has been tried successfully, and, though
it does not grow well in Southern Cali
fornia, thousands of acres will be planted
here. The irrigation project is in the
hands of capitalists from Denver and
San Francisco, and the number of men
Mt work upon the canal now will COM
plete it within a year. The water will
not run part of the time, as in other
canals, but all the time, and it will
practically amount to changing the
course of part of the river, from which
branch bitches will lead. The scope of
country to be covered by it is 1876 miles
long and 10 in width"

ANuihb eplHEuhllhs
When General Grant visited Japan
he was received with great hospitality
and every honor possible was shown
him. The Japanese hardly knew what
to make of the somewhat grave and
serious demeanor of the American, but
by an act of graceful consideration he
won their admiration and remembrance.
As he journeyed toward the interior Of
the country, he came to a deep ravine
SPAWNED by two bridges. One of these
was known as the sacred Bridge"
and was not opened to travel, it had
never been crossed but once. 1t had
been formally opened by prince who
died shortly after the ceremony. The
bridge was called by his name, aud was
not used afterward.
Wishing TO do honor to General
Grant the authorities commanded that
this bridge be thrown open for him to
cross upon. His courier was told its
history, which he in turn told to
General Grant.
AS the party neared the two bridges,
the general gave directions that his
cortege should cross over the bridge
commonly in use, and removing his
hat, he approached the sacrd bridge,
bowed to tho official in charge, and
turning, rejoined his companions and
crossed over the other bridge
This act was received with murmur
If applause. Its delicate consideration
was highly appreciated by a people
with whom courtesy is fine art.

CINcINNATE, Nov. lt.---Freight train
No. Ill, on the Columbus e. Cincin-
natl Midland road, was run into by
another freight train at Ludlow Grove.
six miles from this city, this morning.
The collision was caused by fog. The
engine, caboose, four freight cars and a
horse car with IA head of fine race
horses, belonging to the Morris stables
of Westchester, n. r., were thrown
over the embankment. The engine was
badly damaged, the cars smashed up
and the horses penned in the wreck.
Not q person was injured.
In the horse car at the time were
twelve blood mares and two valuable
stations. They were looked after by
Gilbert Morris, son of the owner, John
A. Morris. The car rolled down a rs
foot cmbankment and was splintered.
All of the horses were thrown in u heap,
and while none were killed all were iD-
jured. The horses We're on their way
TO Texas, where they were to be used
for breeding purposes. Noone of them
was of less value than $4,000.
SOME NOTED HORSES.
Among the lot is stallion imported by
Mr., Morris from England last spring.
He is Lozzold, years old, is thorough
bred and valued at $4,000. The animal
is cut about the legs and is injured about
the Kidneys, which will probably result
fatally. Jingle, valuable mare, and
Octopus, both wel-known in the east,
were fearlully cut about the legs. One Of
the mares injured ran a mile in LAO last
summer. Not one Of the horses, according
to DIR. Lewis, veterinary, wfl ever be
able to run again. For some reason Mr..
Morris refused to give the names of the
injured horses The total value Of the
horses is placed at 100000.
Mr.. Morris refused to touch the in
| jared animals and they were taken in
charge by railroad officials. Suit will
be instituted. The damage to the rail
road was $4,000

Goats MIX.


Good Health.
The great prevalence of tuberculosis
among COWS, and the consequent dam
ger of contamination with this disease
through the use Of milk, has given re-
Gently prominence to the fact that goats
milk is not subject to tuberculosis, and
hence the danger attending the use of
cows milk docs not exist when goats
milk is employed. Milk of the ass has
also been recommended for the same
reason, but goats milk is evidently, on
many accounts preferable to that NJ.
Nocard, an eminent French authority,
is quoted as saying that out of the many
thousands of cows, goats and kids
slaughtered at Paris every spring, the
meat inspectors have failed to discover
single case of tuberculosis. Of course
cows milk may be rendered sterile and
free from danger by boiling, but one
does not relish the idea of using milk
from diseased animals, even il the germs
be dead. 1t is quite possible that goats
milk may come into general use within
the next decade.

AN INFERNO
Poor Afflicted in the North Brother
Pest House, Now York,
Dying for the Lack OF Decent Attention.
Typhus Patients Deiirious and Tied
Down to Their Cots-rhirty-two Pa
ticnts to n single Attendant.

New YORK. March 11.-A startling
condition of affairs ut the city's pest
house on North Brother island is set
forth by the World with much display.
Two World reporters landed on North
Brother island Mt midnight Tuesday
night and visited the smallpox hospital,
the typhus fever pavilions. the scarlet
fever and measles wards and the lepers'
tent The reporters went into pavilion
after pavilion and found neither at
PENDANTS nor doctors. and were APP
pealed to for water and assistance by
the neglected patients
One attendant was found who had
thirty-two typhus fever patients in his
care Twenty-six of them were in pa
vilion No. ., four in pavilion No. and
two outside in tent Six of the ty-
phus patients were dclirious and were
tied to their cots. This attendant very
frankly said that he had more to do
than ten men could attend to in the pa
vilion where twenty-siN of his patients
lay. IL anything went wrong in pavil-
ion No or in the tent he could not
help it.
"A thick fog was blowing over the ISL
and and an intermittent drizzle was
falling But the windows of the pa
vilions were open and the wind and
fog swept down on the cots where the
afflicted wretches tossed in fcverish de-
lirium. In the quarantine tent for
men fifteen cots had no mattresses.
The men were lying on the canvas COW
erings with one thin blanket to each
cot for bed clothes In this quarantine
tent there were five persons who did
not even have cots. They made their
beds on chairs and benches.
As the reporters peered into the lit
tie overflow tent where two patients
lay they stretched out their arms and
cried: Give us something to drink.
For Gods sake get us some water. No.
body is looking after us" The atten-
ton of the attendant in Pavilion No. 3
was called to the sufferers, and he said
despairingly: 81 know il. | know il.
But two of the people in here have just
died and I've got another one dying. |
can't be in three places at once"
What do you do with the bodies?"
was asked WHO helps you remove
them?"
Il wake up some of the convalescents
and make them help me-" he replied.
The reporters then discovered by exam
ination of the dining-room the extraer-
binary fact that all the attendants In
the various infectious wards and pavil-
ions eat their meals together. Side by
side ut the table sit attendants from the
smallpox, typhus, measles and scarlet
fever wards They step from the bed
side of their patients to the common
dining table without fumigation or
change of clothing.
The reporters asked what was to pre-
vent general spreading and inter
mingling of all the contagious diseases.
and the attendant admitted that there
were no safeguards He had sat at the
table with smallpox nurse at his
right and scarlet fever attendant on
his left and an orderly from the measles
ward across the table. II he carried
germs of these diseases to his typhus
patients he could not be held RESPONSE
BILE, he said
