Near the bridge" said Mr.. Rogers .to a
correspondent, land fifty feet abuvel the
river Is the opening into the cave. The
| entrance is only about fur by eight feet in
size, but it soon spreads out into maguifi-
cent corridors and chambers. For the
most part the floor of the cave Is level, al
though it sometimes pitches abruptly down
for few feet or rises in the same way. /
tied strings to myself and fastened them at
the entrance and then explored the cave a
distance of about two miles. | did not see
any sign of an end 10 it and from
what l could learn from the old
Scotchman about it and Judge for
myself l should say that it probably ex-
tends fifteen or twenty miles under the
mountain. Innumerabe branches opened
off on both sides of what seemed to be
the main passage, and everywhere l found
the most beautiful formations In stalactites
and stalagmites, many of them ten or
twelve feet long The rocky walls of the
cave are Of very fine quality of limestone
In many cOlOrs. Sometimes the walls of a
huge chamber would be all in one color and
sometimes three or four different eolOrs
would be arranged in STRATA, making a
beautiful effect. l found little water IN the
cave, no lakes or waterfalls or streams of
any size. There were only one or two tiny
br0oklets and some shallow wateT-hOles.
1t is said that the Indians have used this
cave as depository for their trophies.
The Mogollon Mountains were until
recently one of the retreats of the Apaches,
and think it is likely that they used the
cave as safety deposit vault. The old
Scotchman stated this as fact, and | found
few small articles near the mouth of the
cave that made me think he was right

A Curious Power-House.


An unusually interesting pOwer-house has
recently been constructed at Rochester, n .
Y, TO utilize the energy of the Genesee
Falls, 1913 feet wide, with q perpendicular
drop of ninety feet. The water had partly
undercut rocky bluff. on which the station
was to be built, and the overhangng pOr-
tions were first blasted off. A foundation
was then constructed with great difficulty,
owing to the very rapid current OF the river
and its habit of rising suddenly. The
structure was finally completed, how
ever. and the power plant Installed. This
consists of two double water wheels twenty
six and n half inches IN diameter, each
supplied with $3.50 cubic feet of water a
minute under an effective head of eighty
seven feet through tive-foot fume. The
wheels are OF phosphor bronze with timed
steel blades, and each develop 600 horse
power. This power is transmitted from a
fve-fOot rope wheel to twelve-foot rope
wheel ninety feet above, through sixteen
MANILA ropes ! 2s inches in diameter. The
proper tension OF these ropes was obtained
by means of tightener-wheel in an adjust
able frame Each wheel has its own fiume
and gate, and can be used Separately. The
ropes run at very high speed-7540 feet
miDute-but it was recently stated at a
meeting OF the American Society of Civil
Engineers that no delay had occurred in
over years use.

JUST WHAT IT MEANS.
The Real Cause of Cold Explained and
How Easy 1t IL to Stop 1t Every Time.

The Real Cause of n Cold Explained and
How Easy 1t IL to Stop 1t Every Time.
Nothing is more common at this season of the
year than the expression II have bad cold" but
1t means something far serious than Is gener-
ally supposed. 1t means that the person who has
taken cold is in a bad state OF health Why? Be-
cause a person in good health easily res SITS cold.
But let the health flag little, let the stomach
become deranged, let the system get out of
order, and chill is easily taken 1t goes TO the weak
spot and cold is the result
Now OF all Of cold probably fatigue or
WEAKNESS, is the most general. tired man who
comes home at night from long days work or
weary woman whose household duties are wearing
and tearing, the common victims OF cold II
is serious, because every time fresh cold is taken
the body is made weaker, so that grip. pneumonia,
consumption. ana otner wasting diseases find an
easy foothold.
But you ask, how shall colds and their dangerous
results be prevented? There is only one way
Keep the blood in a healthy circulation the
stomach in good working order, and the nervous
system strong and active. To do this a pure stmu
liant must be TAKEN preferably, pure whisky. There
many so-caIled WHISTLES in the mar ct, but
there is only one pure, medicinal whisky. and that
is Duffy's pure malt. The very fact that It is so
strongly recommended by physicians professional
men and women, us well as by thousands of people
who use It as means of keeping healthy and well
proves this Do not be Induced TO try any so-caled
but inferior whisky which your druggi list or grocer
may recommend; insist upon getting what you ask
for There IS nothing else that can accomplish the
same object.

AN ARIZONA CAVE.

Is almost as brown as the Indians he has
fought has just come up from that land of
basalt rocks and red desert and reports
the discovery Of another mammoth cave and
natural bridge. He is B. Rogers, who for
thirteen years has lived in Arizona, punch
ing cows or prospecting or fighting Indians
or keeping store. Lately he has been
among the MogOllon Mountains, along the
Rio Verde and East Fork. That region is
so locked in by'mountains difficult of pas
sage that few even of the most daring pros
pectors and frontiersmen have ever tried to
make their way into it,
From some Of these and from some In
dams Mr.. Rogers got the idea that unusual
things were to be found there, and so one
day he fixed up his pack aud started out
from III 9niX, over Reno an and into
Tonic Basin. He followed the east fork of
the Verde until he came TO the natural
bridge, high arch of rock spanning the
river. An old SeOtchman, hermit, had
built cabin on the bridge, and in a shell
tered spot upon IL. where some soil mad
gathered. he had cultivated a garden. lie
had lived there several years, he said. a nd

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS.
Some Interesting Samples of Decom-
posed POuItice Pavement.


Last nights meeting Of the Board of Su-
pervisors was brief and str city business
one.
f, A. Osborn was recommended to sue
coed j. Partridge as POundkeeper, the latter
haVn g resigned. Supervisor Dundon sec
onded the recommendation. but asked that
action be deferred until a report from the
Society Of Prevention of Cruelty TO Ami
mails be received giving an accounting of
amounts received and expended in the
conduct Of the public pound.
The board refused to postpone and o.
born was appointed POundkeeper.
Final passage of the order forbdding
minors under 10 years of age to enter
billiard or pOOTonms or engaging in games
OF that kind was voted.
A memorial tributary TO the memory Of
David Scannell, the late Chief of the Fire
department, was presented, read and or
uered spread upon the minutes of the board.
a resolution was introduced to the effect
that the Superintendent of Streets be in
structed 10 refuse acceptance of streets
paved with bitumen unless he has
thoroughly examined their condition.
Supervisor Denmau produced samples of
bitumen used in street paving on streets
accepted within few years, which lie had
lately examined and found in adecOmposed
condition, with extremely poor concrete
foundations BE explained that the char
acter OF the work was bad and that sooner
or later the board would have to take the
matter in hand, claiming that certificates
accepting such streets are granted too care
lessly. The resolution was laid over for one
week
Among the Communications received and
referred were the following:
From A. d. Ottewell, the superintendent
Of the Fourth-street bridge. saying that he
will no longer be responsible unless a COM
petent inspector be at once appointed.
From the new City Hall Commission
stating it would appoint plumbing inspec-
tor at its next meeting.
From the W hitter State Reform School
stating that the charge for pupils would
hereafter be S12 90 instead of SO as hereto
fore.
The Carrlage-drivers' Protective Union
asked that the use of vehicles on the public
streets and boats on the waters of the bay
be regulated anew.
The bond of each of the clerks and prose-
cutting attorneys of the Police Courts was
placed at $4,000.
petition from a large number Of prop
erty-Owuers asking that BrOderick street,
between Waller and Ridley. cow perma-
nently closed, be kept open for travel, was

THE CHAMPION EATER.
He Wasted Away in a Williams
burg Hospital.
New York Evening Sun


A bigger eater than was Franz Friedrich.
who died In st. Catharine's Hospital in
Williamsburg on Wednesday night, it was
probably hard to find anywhere On ac-
count of his enormous appetite Friedrich's
friends nicknamed him professor. He was
about 30 years old. About twenty wears
ago he came into prominence by Offering to
wager nybody that he could cat five
pounds of food at one sitting. His wager
was taken up and ne won. Then he bios
sOmed out as the champion eater of VIII
liamsburg.
1t is said that his greatest feast was n
few years ago, when he ate big boiled
goose, five pounds of frankfurters, one
pound of Swiss cheese, a loaf OF rye bread
and drank about two gallons of beer at
ball. AT Easter time, few years ago.
Friedrich, it is said, ate fifty eggs in an
hour on wager. He did other remarkable
feats and made considerable money. When
he was taken Ill few months ago he
turned the scales at 300 pounds. During
his illness he wasted away, and at the
time of his death weighed only a little
more than 80 pounds

The cost of operating the municipal cleo
trio light plant for the three months ending
March 81 was S2517 ST. Electrician Gold
thwaite stated in his report that expert
ments are now being made with n magne-
SUM carbon, which. If it proves a success,
would result in a saving of expenses from
60 to 70 per cent.
The protest OF Mrs. Liese against the
Ditumlnlzing of Bank street was overrued
and the street will now be improved.
L. o. Crosby, an Independent candidate
Tor City Recorder, has addressed a coinmu-
nication To the City Trustees in which he
states that the present salary of $50 per
month, ont of which all expenses are paid,
Is too high and should be reduced to $50 per
month. The Trustees decided not 10 reduce
the salary.
The City Trustees last evening appoin ted
