An Alarming Condition of SobrIety
In the City.
City Recorder Schwartz has discov-
cred something wrong in the social con-
diIion OF affairs, which is likely to re-
suit In damming up an important sup
ply pipe to the municipal treasure box.
The recorder is not sure why it is, but
for the past two weeks there has been a
decided falling off in the number of ar
rests for drunkenness. 1t has frequent
ly happened that for several DAYS in the
middle OF the week there would be u
non.appearance of intoxicated gentle
men at the bar OF city justice, but when
such an absence occurs on any Monday
morning the situation is unexampled
-slsrming-and demands an inquiry.
Perhaps the gentlemen who have here
tofore responded with weekly regularity
10 the city's needs have determined to
invest the amount Of their weekly con-
tributions to the police court fund in
real estate or in electric street railway
stock. Perhaps they are reforming on
general principles, and perhaps they
are falling under the powerful influence
Of the snti-jsg treatment. This latter
influence Is what the recorder more
strongly suspects. and is considering the
advisability Of applying for an injunc.
ton against the present operation OF
such institutions.

NEEDS FIXING.
An Absence of Definite

In a Section of the
School Law.
Provisional Certificates Now
Issued to Teachers
Who Are Employed Without CertifI-
Gates and Afterwards Fall to
Pass Examination.

As a result Of the quarterly examina-
ton which closed last Tuesday, the fol-
lowing teachers were yesterday award.
ed certificates: Alice Graves, first
grade; Richard Stewart, Katherine
DERRICK and Carrie b. Potter, second
grade. There we're three applicants
who failed to pass, and right here arises
a complication which will probably be
dissolved at the next meeting of the
legislature.
The three teachers who failed TO pass
were already engaged in teaching and
had been employed from one to two
months or from the time since the
previous quarterly meeting. 1t seemed
g hardship to deprive them OF their sal
airy for the time they had already been
at work, and they were accordingly
given provisional certificates covering
the time to the next examination.
There is nothing in the school law
applying to cases Of this class, though
there is an older law, which declares
that 1.-THE laborer is worthy Of his hire"
against which it is understood from the
statutes that the teachers qualification
to draw pay is fixed by his fret having
obtained certificate to teach,
In many states this matter is defn-
itely settled by the law, which pre-
scribes the duties of school directors
and boards OF education, and declares
that such officials may not employ a
teacher except upon his presentation OF
certificate, in force at the beginning OF
the school term. In case of the viola
ton OF this law the directors are indi-
yiduelly responsible for the payment of
the teachers salary for all or any part
Of the school term not covered by his
certificate.

Did you ever hear of the story of the
sudden and mysterious destruction of
the City OF Russell, the capital of the
new state OF Harrison?" inquired a
reader OF modern fiction. Russell was
an imaginary town in newly formed
state. 1t was equipped with all the
latest municipal Improvements, and
the application of electricity was car
rled on there beyond the widest dreams
OF EDISON. Everything was electrical.
ana the town itself was a big electric
grld-lron. Suddenly it was unaccouut-
ABLY cut of from communication with
the rest of the world. Investigation
was attempted, but the city was found
TO be surrounded by dead line be-
yond which none might pass, and with
IN which was burnt and blackened desc
iation, charred bodies and bent and
twisted IRON rails and bars. After sew
eral days it was discovered that the
subtle servant had burst the bonds of
wire and iron and had laid waste the
city and country. That's what will
happen to Phoenix when all your cleo
tric street lines, your electric light and
power plants are put in operation. Your
SOIL, air and water will become over
charged with electricity, and the scenes
OF Russell will be enacted.

genuineness and durability.
Only a medical student, a profession

to the fullest extent a peep into this

glared curiously. Far away in his rear,
in the shadowy background, could be
dimly seen the forms of others of his
tribe, who, with the exception of mad
vertent squeals, seemed to be awaiting
developments.
The Waterman took from his pocket
an ordinary comb, which he wrapped
with thin paper. and, placing it next to
his teeth, began vibratory sounds, with
rising and falling infections. Instant
" the old rat pricl<ed up his ears as
though listening, and then slowly but
steadily advanced until he entered the
circle of light. Thereupon and imme-
diately out of the distant gloom, came
into view hordes of rats. of all sizes,
shapes. colors and conditions. The first
large old rat was evidently the king of
all, for all the others surrounded him
at a respectful distance, and seemed to
await his orders. There were thousands
of them, young and old. Most of them
remained quiet, but others, presumably
Young ones, cavorted and squealed
far away in the background.
The old king rat suddenly arose
on his hind legs and whirled his
head to and fro like a marshal review
ing his forces, and thereupon for a mo-
ment all the others remained motion
less and quiet. Suddenly the watch
man gave a quick, sharp, loud blast on
the comb. whereat the king rodent ut
tered a shrill, piercing scream, which
was taken up and reiterated from the
throats Of his thousands of subjects
