 The Atlantic steamers are a fruitful field for the crooked poker players.
 Here is a specimen of the way this game is worked: A well-known New Yorker told the story, but stipulated that the name of the victim was to, be suppressed.
 "A certain New York millionaire, he said, ''who is known to be more or less susceptible to the blandishments of women, was crossing the Atlantic alone on Cunarder. A lovely woman made his acquaintance, which, you know, is the easiest thing in the world on ship board. They became very friendly and she introduced him to her husband. I don't know whether he was really her husband, but he passed as such for that trip, at all events.
 This husband was one of the com placent sort. He offered no objection when the millionaire firted desperately with his 'wife'
 ''The millionaire, thinking it would pay him to stand in with the husband, willingly acquiesced when a game of poker was suggested. Of course, the husband had few friends, who were also in the game.

The Southern Pacific company is ar ranging for limited train service be- tween San Francisco and New Orleans and intermediate points. The train will probably leave both New Orleans and San Francisco on Wednesday of each week and be about seventy seven to eighty hours between terminals. Fare and sleeping car expenses will be the same as on regular passenger trains. This arrangement is made to facilitate the movement of passengers from the east this winter and this in- formation is given in advance so that parties may inform their eastern friends who are intending to visit the valley. Full information will be given hereafter. In case this train is suc- cessful other trains will be put on.

Increasing Interest.

There is no doubt that g great revival of interest in real estate matters is at hand. It steals upon us unawares like thief or sweet slumber in the night, or fit of intoxicstion, and before we know it we are in the midst of boom. Happy then are they who know when and how to unload.
 There is nothing trsnsitory or ephen- eral about the lots in Simms' addition. They are destined to be selected as the pleasant homes of the legitimately, suc- cessful business men of Phoenix.

children in the principles of purity, protest
ing against the smoking Of cigars, cigarettes.
and pipes in the street cars, and regretting
that the anti-cigarette law hassoon fallen into
a state of innocuous desuetude.
The resolutions declared the license laws to
be the bane of the country, recommended a
more thorough and systematic distribution of
temperance literature, urged the perpetuation
tested against any action or custom tending
to undermine the sanctity of the Lords day.
The resolutions further set forth the belief
of the convention in equal suffrage with an
educational qualification for all, in equal
wages for equal work, in an equal standard
of morality for man and woman, and de-
manded in the name of pure womanhood that
only those of clean hands shall be called to
public service
Mrs. Cleveland was cordially commended

Resolved, That we rejoice that scientific
temperance is now mandatory study for all
pupils in all public schools under Federal
control.
Resolved, That we believe the thorough en-
torcement of these laws is the hope of tenn
perance reform. We therefore call upon all
school boards. officers and teachers to set be-
fore the children Of this District, who are
soon to be it's men and women. an example Of
loyal obedience to law, by promptly making
adequate provision for the pursuit Of the
study Of physiological temperance by select
ing or providing a series Of well graded text
books that contain the truths the law re-
quires taught, and by making an adequate
place for this branch in the course Of study,
with the same tests Of proficiency as are used
in the case Of other studies.
1--WE respectfully ask the National Educa-
fional Association to make permanent pro-
vision in the programmes of their yearly
meetings for consideration of methods Of
feaching 10 all pupils the new mandatory
study. namely: The nature and effects of
alcoholic drinks and other narcotics in con-
nection with relative physiology and
hygiene.

persons were working in the manufacturing

but all escaped unhurt. The water supply
seemed at first inadequate and the building
was soon ruined.
THE WALLS CRASHED IN.
After the interior of the building had been
partially burned out, it became apparent
that the front and rear walls were in danger
of falling, but Fire Chief Elliott permitted his
men to advance with the hose as closely as
possible, both from front and rear. Suddenly
the front wall sagged forward and the great
mass ofhot brick, timber and iron crashed to
the sidewalk with a tremendous roar. Almost
at the same instant the rear wall crumbled and
fell into thealley at the rear.
Above the tumult of the panic-stricken
crowd rose the shrieks of the wounded and
imprisoned fremen. Sixteen In all were in
