MAKING HEADWAY.
The New Driving Park is Meeting With
 Liberal Support.

The New Driving Park is Meeting with
 Liberal Support.
 The disposition of the public is being liberally shown to-day in sup. port of the proposed race track and public park being at once realized on. The list of subscribers is now swelled in amount to the Sl,500 notch, and much more is promised. Many people seem to have very erroneous idea and a wrong impres- sion altogether of this project. The promoters of the enterprise are liberal in their ideas, and in the creation of what seems to be pub lie necessity, they are desirous to please all and make the project one in which the public may be inter ested. While it is proposed 10 have a race track and suitable accommo- dations for patrons of the turf, the grounds are also to be open for bicycle, baseball, picnics and other events which may take place; in short, the same encouragement Is to be extended to all alike for any character of sport or amusement.
 During the past few days several Colorado turfmen have made in- quiries of this section, and are desirious of placing Prescott on their racing circuit, while from Southern Arizona many horsemen have signifed their willingness to summer here, if suitable accommo- dations can be had for their animals.
 With just such a speed track as is proposed, thousands of dollars can be brought to this city which other wise goes to other centers. The grounds selected are beautifully located, easy of access, and with the proper spirit now shown, 'long felt want" in this line can be realized on. Encourage the project.

 Down.
 In a letter from Tucson, J. c. Martin has the following to say of his experience with the road agents: "I was riding with the driver, and as 1 got down of the seat, l cached my purse under the seat. 1 was thinking about saving it and forgot l had a watch, in fact, I never thought of the watch until the fellow had it out of my pocket. l stood at the head of the class, and after he had made the rounds of all of them, he started in again, and asked if l did not have something else. l said: I gave you my purse aud all that was in 1t; ain't that enoughf Just then he commenced 10 unoutton my vest and l thought he intended to go through me and search all my pockets, but he was just unlocking the watch chain and yanked it out of my pocket aud slipped 1t down into his. l had an argument afterwards with him about getting in the stage. I wanted to go around the stage to get on. He wanted me to climb up on the side the driver sat. After arguing the poiut fully, he won his point. The donations were as follows: A. J Doran, $50 and a $2O0 gold watch, chain and charm; Funston, between S35 and $40. He made talk for his watch and they let him keep it. Carl Hazeltine, Sl6; Park, Sll and gold watch; Viekers, SLIGO; myself, S375 and gold watch. Vickers dropped his watch in the stage, as did also Carl"

says McClure's Magazine. The mon- strous principle of universal service was adopted instead. By this prin- ciple the whole nation is under arms. A country is no longer country, people is no longer a people: nation is now nothing but an army, and coun- try is only barrack. Everybody wears the uniform. Everybody is sur le qui vive. If war breaks out to-day all pro fessions become deserted, all functions abandoned; the life of the nation stops so that national activity may be said to begin again only with the blood that is shed. Moreover. before two hostile enemies, join in combat, each of the two armies, that is, each of the two in- finite hordes which traverse their sev- eral countries to meet eventually on the field of battle, will leave behind it a country in famine, it's factories silent and its trade paralyzed. Again, enor- nous stocks of food supplies must be accumulated on the frontiers where the two armies are likely to meet; but be- fore reaching these inexhaustible mag azines the armies must be fed while crossing their own territories, and that requires money. So, that, before even the first gun is fired, each army will have expended enormous sums and left in its train towns and villages stripped of men and beasts, the cities in famine, the country without a single tiller of the field.

Carnot and the Figure Seven.

The French papers have been noting the curious way in which the career of President Carnot was connected with the figure ''7." He was born in 1887, was admitted to the Ecole polytechnique in 1857, was elected by virtue of article of the constitution to the office of president of the republic in 1887, was assassinated at the age of 57 years, in the seventh year of his presidency, in carriage containing seven persons -four inside and three outside, coachman and two footmen), on the seventh day of the week, by an Italian Ia word of seven letters) named Cesario (also formed of seven letters). Finally, he was borne in triumph to the Pantheon on the first day of the seventh month of the year, seven days after his death

guards; it also demolished the male ward of the insane asylum, killing Dr. Ingate and severely iniuring several of the inmates. Many residences were damaged. The roofs were blown of the telephone and telegraph offices and the wires twisted. The Martin build ing was demolished. Many substantial brick structures were demolished. killed and dozens of hair breadth es- capes. Torrents of rain fell. The streets are filled with debris. The storm proper did not last over three minutes.
 Losses of last nights storm will ag- gregate nearly $1 ,OO0 900. The damage to the state insane asylum is $200, ,0OO. Dr. Ingate, assistant uperintendent, was killed between falling walls and two patients are missing. The state penitentiary sustained loss of $100,- GOO. A convict named James was killed and several others injured. Jackson Yoyd and his three-year-old child were crushed to death in their home by falling wall. When taken from the ruins the child was clasped in it's fathers arms.

PETER MINUTES MISTAKE.
He Lost Money When He Bought Man. haitian Island for Twenty-Four Dollars.

He Lost Money When He Bought Man
 haitian Island for Twenty-Four Dollars.
 History tells us that 26S years ago, or in 1926, Peter Minuit bought Man haitian island from the Indians and paid for it S24 in merchandise.
 It has usually been thought that Peter took advantage of the ignorance of the untutored savage and made an excellent bargain for himself.
 No doubt but that Peter thought it a good trade, particularly when he con- sidered the value of lots after the streets would be laid out, Central park improved, Brooklyn bridge built and the island had population of two millions; for Peter was a shrewd real estate speculator and looked long way ahead with correct, prophetic eye.
 Notwithstanding all of Peters shrewdness and foresight he made the mistake of his life and lost millions of dollars by his purchase. He didn't stop to figure interest. rrf
 Since 1926 the rate of interest in this country, where money has always been in demand, has ranged from six per cent. up to highway robbery. It will be conservative to say that eight per cent. is a fair average.
 Now, if Peter had loaned his SPA at eight per cent. compound interest, from then until this date, what would it's value be, compared with the value of Manhattan island?
 At eight per cent. compound interest, money will double once in about nine years. Now, there have been twenty nine times nine years, and seven years more, since Peter made his purchase. Then, if he had loaned his $24 he would have had nearly $4O0,0O0 at the end of the first one hundred years, and more than $2O0,0O0,0 ,0O0 at the close of the sec ond century, while in 1894 his principal of $24 would have grown to be $2O,0OO,- 900, ,OO0-the value of Manhattan island many times over
 So, in fact the Indians got the best of the bargain, and no doubt they chuckled over the situation as they walked through Baxter street with the S24 worth of merchandise in their arms.

THE WALLS OF SEOUL.
How a Party of Travellers Scaled Them After Nightfall.

How Party of Travellers Scaled Them
 After Nightfall.
 Seoul, like Pekin, and, what is more, like all the cities of Corea and China, says a traveller, writing in the New York Herald, is surrounded by i'm mense walls; and the gates of the city are closed each evening at set of sun. The latter had been replaced by the moon when we arrived at the foot of these great walls, which must be all of fifty feet in height. Not wishing to leave us to pass the night outside the city and exposed to numberless dan gers, the minister had had the happy idea to have us conveyed to a secluded spot where we were assisted to climb over the walls.
 A score of Coreans sat astride the top and lowered strong ropes. The ascent was perilous and very difficult. It took at least half hour to hoist one of our friends, who being enormously stout, gave to the Coreans an immense deal of difficulty, and, besides, he, terrified to find himself swinging in space at the end of rope, to our great delight, uttered hoWls of fright. Thus was our entry into Seoul something less than triumphant.

SMALL-BOAT VOYAGES.
Stories of Foolhardy Men Who Hav&
 Crossed the Atlantic.

Stories of FoOlhardy Men Who Have
 Crossed the Atlantic.
 The record of adventurous persons who have crossed the Atlantic in crafts of small dimensions is, comparatively speaking, long one, but nothing has been accomplished beyond fame for few, and almost repulsive stories of privations of various kinds and failure. The latest effort of adventure in this direction is that of Capt. Freitsch, a Finn, who is to try to cross the Atlantic in a forty-six-foot dat-bottomed schoon- er-rigged skiff, constructed by himself at Milwaukee. He started from that city recently crossing the lake and coming through the Erie canal to Troy, thence down the Hudson to this city, says the New York Tribune He pro- poses to start at an early day, going first to Southampton, thence to ports on the continent, and later return to the United States.
 Voyages of this kind in such small craft are evidently more remarka ble than those of clippers, yachts and schooners, on account of the perils of the ocean, the paucity of the crew to manage the helm and sails during a period measured by months and the spirit and pluck of the individual. But it cannot be said that such voyages really accomplish anything for the science of navigation. In July, 1866, Capt. Hudson and F. E. Fitch, the To fn a twenty-siX-foot lifeboat called the Red White and Blue, and rigged as a schooner, started from Sandy Hook on a voyage of unknown duration and un- certain vicissitude across the Atlantic. The boat had several narrow escapes from capsizing, and thirty-seven days after leaving New York she entered Margate harbor. The boat and her crew were exhibited at the Crystal Palace, where the story of the voyage was oft-told. The hardy navigators did not return in the same way-they had had enough of it." In the same year small yacht of twenty-five tons made the voyage from Liverpool to New South Wales, reaching there in one hundred and fifty days, a distance of sixteen thousand miles. In June, 1876. Alfred Johnson started from Gloucester in small boat, manned only by himself, and sixty-seven days later he reached Liverpool. The voy- age was a perilous enc, and when about three hundred miles off the Irish coast his boat was capsized, and he was providentially assisted by huge wave in fighting it.
 Another bold adventure was that of Capt. Thomas Crapo, who, with his wife, crossed the ocean in a twenty foot boat called the New Bedford. The adventurers sailed from New Bedford in June, and ffty-four days later reached Penzance and were right glad to end the voyage. The experiences were most bitter and heart-rending In July, 1888, Capt. Andrews sailed from Boston and crossed the Atlantic. The story of the voyage was like that of many others-deprivation of com forts and food, loss of sleep, hair breadth escapes, dangerous hurricanes and newspaper notoriety.

SONGS OF WAR. JapS March With Music
 on Their Lips. But it is Full of Hatred
 for China. Will Plant the Flag of Japan on
 Pekin'S Walls. The War Will Not Interfere With In- ternal Improvements and the
 Building of Railroads.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The officers of the Japanese ligation have received an enteresting budget of news and gossip from the last mail from Japan. The spirit of the people is shown in war songs sung by the Japanese troops ss they march toward Pekin. Songs were officially compiled by Prince Arisugawa. They breath great bitterness against China and declare that now is the time to plant the flag of the rising sun on the walls of .Pekin and to illuminate it's darkness.
 Each verse of the song begins and ends with "Strike and Chastise" Va rious verses describe the Chinese as ar- rogant and insolent with an army of towards.
 The Chinese troops war songs say of the Japanese: "They are undisciplined rabbie, and however fine their aams look they are useless like fine ladies in pictures.
 The Japanese minister of finance has officially made announcement that the war will not be allowed to interrupt the internal improvement of Japan. Consequently railway construction IS to proceed with the same vigor as in peace ful times.
