SHOOTING AT HUACHUCA.
Hamilton Shot Through the Head
by Comrade.


by Comrade.
A shooting scrape at Fort Huachuca,
which has been kept quiet, occurred
last Thursday night. A soldier named
Hamilton was shot by comrade. The
bullet went clear through his head near
the ears, but the wonderful vitality of
the race (black) caused some hope to be
entertained for his recovery.
The injured man was supposed to be
dying today. Constable Broad sent a
telegram over there this afternoon,
but no reply had been received at
O'Clock.
The shooter is in the guard house at
the post awaiting the result of Hamil-
toms injuries.-Prospector.

CHRISTENING LITTLE RUTH.
BaptismaI Ceremonies at the Old
Pratt Mansion at Railway,


The Union-Democrat of Railway, N.
j., under date of Nov. II, says: On
Sunday afternoon the old Pratt man
sion at Milton Lake was Illuminated
and beautifully decorated with flowers
and ferns, and was the scene of christ
ening party; when little Ruth, the
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. William B.
Pratt of Phoenix, Arizona, was baptized
and dedicated unto the Lord. The Rev.
DIR. Liggett conducted the services. All
of the family seemed very happy over
the occasion.
After the ceremonies they and several
of their friends, in all amounting to
fourteen persons, sat down to an ele-
CANT supper, regretting exceedingly
that the event occurred on Sunday, but
it being the baby's birthday, and the
last Sunday before they left for their
distant home, it seemed altogether the
most suspicious time.

Frank Ryan was cited by the court to

cause why he should not be punished
for contempt. The charge upon which
the contempt is based is the public

4 Tipping Deerhound.

Notes in the Yorkshire Weekly Post,
referring TO an extract from Phil Rob

described how bear was lured into a
drunken bout, mentions some remarka-
bic instances of taste for alcohol
among the lower animals; He says:
Il possessed a very fine deerhound
bitch. One day, while emptying some
Scotch whisky out OF jar into a de-
canter, split a quantity ON the floor.

The EIizabethan Ruff.

The full ruff is again upon us. and
supelseding the feather boa is that one
made Of very rich gros-grain ribbon
which ties quite closely about the
throat and may be worn with any ccs-
tune, as it is invariably black, writes
Isabel A. Mallon, in an attractively
illustrated article on Dressing the
Neck, in the Ladies Home Journal In
making such a ruff two strips of four
inch wide ribbon are laid in double
bOx-plaits, the length to fit the throat.
After they are plated they may look Il
little stiff, but do not be induced to
catch the plaits down, As after one on
two wearings they win fall of their
own accord. Long ends of ribbon are
the finish, and these ends are tied in
loops that almost reach the waist and
ends that fall below il. Above all
things, this ruche or ruff must fit the
neck closely, the effect given in wear
ing it being just like that in those old
pictures of ladies of the time Of Queen
Elizabeth, those ladies who would have
given any money to have learned how
to keep their ruils stiff. Lace ruffs are
liked for evening wear. and are de-
veloped not only in the black and
white but in the cofTee-colored laces.
These, however, are only for evening
wear and full-dress occasions.

Basque Is a Lonely Tongue Still

The question, Who are the Basques?
that mysterious people who give
their name TO the Bay of Bis ay-is
always cropping up, and Prof. Won
der GabelenUZ has recently endeav0red
to show that the Basque language
belongs to the African Berber family
Of speech-for example, the Kaby lie
and Tuareg His evidence only
amounts to a few culture words being
identical in the Basque and Berber
languages, and certain analOges in
the laws OF phonetic change, More
over he assumes that the Basques
and Iberians were the same people.
But, as Canon Isaac Taylor points
out the lberiau tongue, according to
our highest authorities, was different
from the Basque, and the French
Basques are different race from the
Spanish BasQues, who are a feebler
people of the Iberian type. If we
assume that the Basques conquered
the lberians we can account for the
resemblance5 noticed by Prof. Won der
Gabelentl, because the lbcrians, Of
Berber origin, in ac uiring the
language Of their COnquerers, would
retain their own phonetic tendency,
and also some culture words in both
languages, AS Canon Taylor remarks,
we may still believe that the Basque
language is allied TO the Ural-Altaic
type. London Globe.

basis as fast as the works can be eX-
tended In this great work every
citizen of Chicago should take the
warmest interest.
The Cicero works can be seen at
any time by any person who wishes
to study the construction and opera
tion OF what is really one of the
greatest inventions of this or any
other century. The works are oper-
ated by the National Gas and Water
Construction Company (office at 2lS
La Sale street. Chicago), composed
Of individuals who have made ma
tional reputation in the building of
hard coal water-gas works since water
gas was first successfully introduced
in 1876.
1t is estimated, at the lowest calcu-
lation, that at least one thousand
times as much gas will be consumed
at 40 cents as is now sent out at
3l.2j, fer gas is fast becoming one of
the most desirable and beneficial
agencies and Improvements in every
house and factory. Special stores are
crowded with hundreds of fixtures
and appliances for burning gas for
numerous purposes. In fact methods
of using gas are far ahead of cheap
gas. Open wide then the city gates
for the entrance of this great i'm
provement. 1t comes at most OPP
perfume time, when labor, capital,
and every kind of material used in
the construction Of gas works are
plenty and cheap.
Chicago now has the opportunity
to shake off its funeral pail of smoke
and open the new century with clear
air, pure water, and perfect drainage;
verify, there are giants in these days,
Chicago life breeds them, and they
use their money, strength and tai
ents not "to wade through slaughter,
to throne" but for the uplifting of
humanity and the spreading of the
gospel of peace on earth and good
will to men.

VARIATIONS IN LITERATURE

Present Day Literary Imitation of Mu-i-
cal Compositions Common Years Ago.
Some twenty fve years ago there
was style OF musical composition
much in vogue known as "yaria-
tions," says a writer in the Atlantic
Monthly. 1t appeared in dozen.
PACED sheets entitled "Home, Sweet
Home-with Variations; Coming
Through the Rye--with Variations;
"Let Me Kiss Him for His Mother"
(also with Variations'G and scores
OF Others, all with Variations
The distinctive plan of these compo-
sitions-and whatever their individ-
ual Characteristic. they were, as a
whole, without variaton-conSisted,
first, in GRACE or two OF banging
prelude, closely followed by simple
little air that somebody else had
written. This definitely announced
the theme to be "variated," which
was next heard behind thin screen
Gf artfully arranged arpeggios. Then
it donned deep disguise in the bass,
to become barely recognizable in the
treble with trills, ditto in bass, in
the treble with runs, ditto in bass,
and finally lost itself in company
of crashing chords so OyerpOwering
that one could not be certain whether
the original air had been Coming
Through the Rye" or ''Let me Kiss
Him for His Mother"
A similar sort Of treatment has
now invaded the art of letters; that
is to say, it has affected the entire
twenty-siX, as well as the select seven
to be found upon the piano keyboard.
1t doesn't nowadays satisfy writer
to say merely, zone summer morn
ing, fine and early, l was walking
through the woods" He immedi-
ately goes Oh taking the word
''early" as his kcynote), "The sun
had not been long above the horizon
and the air was yet fragrant with
last nights dew" Then with "hne"
and summer" as texts he tells us,
"Everywhere were the green and
luXurant footprints of light-stepping
summer" Starting next from O

he informs us, "As my feet pressed
the soft moss faint forest odors filed

heard and a startled gray squirrel
scampered up the giant oak on my
left" Da capo, "On such glorious
morning l was glad simply to be
alive, and were we all-young-riSen

luting an idea, it is hard to tell Just
what degree of strength it may origin
ally have possessed, The strength of
the writer, it is, however, more easy

The shelley BaronctCy.

A Bit of Shelleyan lore which may be
of interest to biographers was picked
up near Field place not long ago 10y a

says, whose family have resided in

years, and whose grandfather knew

that when Sir Bysshe was offered a

Ivan at Home.

1t Is not peasant experience to
enter Ivan Ivanovitch's 5 nome, for if
there is one thing in the world that
Ivan cordially dlslikes and banishes,
it is the fresh air within the house.
He loves to have his room rocking
with heat and fr0wsiness. He will not
open his window if he can help it, how
ever warm the weather. 1t is a special
dispensation of Providence, or a beauti-
ful provision of nature, that Ivan is
occasionally nay, frequently drunk,
and breaks one of his windows. We're
this not so he and his family would un-
doubtedly be asphyXiated.
Though the room we now enter has
two panes broken, the atmosphere is
hardly supportable. The room is of
good size but large portion of it is
occupied by huge stove of plastered
brick. When the weather is cold this
stove is hot day and night, and Ivan
and his family sleep On top of it, where
there is accommodation for half q
dozen, at a pinch. Round the walls
runs a narrow bench, and in one corner
is table. At this table sits the lady
of the house, taking her dinner, which
consists of slice of black bread with
plenty of salt. The children prefer to
eat their share outside, in the road.
AS for Ivan himself, he is feasting
upon salt herring at the kabak: salt
herlings arc thirsty fare, and require
the assistance of copious libations of
vodka, therefore the kabak is the
handler place in which to eat it than
his own apartment. Besides, Gavril

Figuring the coal at $3.50 per ton,
and oil worth PC per gallon of seven
pounds, the actual cost of the raw
materials contained in 1000 feet of
gas is about cents. Now, on the
principle that it takes the entire
value of one steer to pack another
steer (Which it does not), then in any
well-regulated gas works, constructed
and operated on correct and scien-
tific principles, gas should not cost in
the holder more than double the
cost of the raw materials contained
in it, or, say, l6 cents per | 1000 feet.
Allowing - per cent. additional as
the cost of sending it from the holder
to the consumer (Which on a large
delivery is an extremely liberal esti-
mate) then gas at the burner should
not cost the properly operated gas
company more than 20c per 1000
feet Add 100 per cent. for profit
and it figures up 40c per 1000 cubic
feet At this price for 20-candle-power
gas, the city could pass an ordinance
prohibiting the use of coal for
fuel compelling all the coal used to
light and heat the city to go to the
gas works for conversion into gaseous
fuel Really, the sending of coal to
every twenty-five foot lot for fuel is
Just about equivalent to sending corn
on the cob, or wheat in the sheaf. or
live stock on foot, to every house
hold, thus compelling every house
holder to grind their grain between
stones and run private slaughter
house to furnish necessary food.
The substitution of gaseous for
solid fuel is only question Of the
scientific conversion Of crude mate
rials into gas The private consumer
of crude coal realizes about - per
cent. of its heating qualities. A gas
company should realize about 90 per
cent. at least, and thus have an ad-
vantage of IS per cent
1t has been thepuzzle of more than
century to apply the great discovery
