PAErs, Feb. q. - Madame Calabresi,
wounded yesterday by the explosion of
bomb In the Rue 81. Jacques. died tonight
in great agony. The police have reason
TO believe that the alleged author of yes
terday's bomb outragcs, who wrote letters
to high police officials over the name OF
Etienne Rabardi, used q false name. This
impression they got from statement
made by man in Rouen to the police of
that city that he is the real Rabardi. He
declares that his name was assumed at
the hotels in Paris by the author OF the
outrages. The man Is a metal worker and
was formerly employed in Paris. He lost
his registration papers while in that city
and Is of the opinion that the dynamiters
used them as their own.
PARIS, Feb. 2l.-An anarchist named
Rivolsh has been arrested. The London
police denounced him to the Paris police
as dangerous man. and informed them
that he was carrying bombs. which he in
tended to use in blowing up the chamber.
sauzet, o member of the chamber, says
Rivolsh applied for tickets of admission to
the chamber on Monday and Tuesday. but
Sauxet was suspicious Of the man and re-
fused to grant his request. Twelve moro
anarchists have been arrested. including
Bastard, supposed to be the author Of yes
terday's explosion.

A Chinese Tea Legend.

There is strange Chinese legend concerning the tea plant. According to the story, there once lived a very pious hermit who passed the greater part of his time in prayer and vigils. He was, however, unable to keep awake as long as he wished, and often found his eyes closing while he was in the very midst of his devotions. This naturally an- noyed him, and one day in fit of wrath against this weakness of the flesh, which he seemed unable to over- come, he cut off the offending eyelids and cast them upon the ground But his action had been observed by a god, who immediately caused tea shrub to spring up from the spot where the eye lids had fallen. It is in reference to this, according to the legend, that the leaves of the tea plant are shaped like eyelids, fringed with lashes, and pos sess the power of warding off sleep.

OUR NEW HOME.

IRE REPUBLICANS rapidly growing business compels it to seek more ex- teneive and commodious quarters.
 On February 1, it will move into the Fleming block and will occupy that portion of the first floor and basement adjoining the bank on First avenue. The entrance will be from First avenue, next to the elevator entrance.
 THE REPUBL1CAN's new home IS being prepared as rapidly as possible and when the work is finished there will be no newspaper office in Arizona. or for that matter in the southwest, approach ing it in elegance or convenience.
 As in the case of all other improve ments made by THE REPUBLICAN and which we have mentioned with modest pleasure, we attribute our necessity for larger and better quarters to the gener- ous support and recognition given by an appreciative public.
 We confidently expect that this trend of things will continue until both TIE REPUBLICAN and Phoenix shall divide honors journalistically and conner cially with Denver and San Francisco.

WALL street, Phoenix, for the age of it and the length and breadth of it, IS the most important thoroughfare in Arizona. It's entrance is guarded on one side by hourishing bank, on the other by bank which has 1anguished and died. All the minor courts of justice in Phoenix are found along the brief length of Wall street and nearly half the lawyers in town find lodgement Tn the basement or upper stories of a massive brick building whick forms one side of Wall street. An honorable catalogue could be made up of real estate offices, ab- stract offices and corporation offices which receive their mail at Nos. so-and- so Wall street. The foregoing descrip- ton of Wall street is predatory to an in- quiry of the city council concerning that electric light which WAS to be put up at the corner of Wall street and Conner cial avenue.

A REMEDY NEEDED.

Last week charge was made against 8 citizen of Phoenix which, if subs tan tiated in criminal action, would un- der the laws of Arizona have made him liable to the death penalty. Extreme punishment would not, perhaps, have been inflicted, but the defendants con- viction would have certainly been fol- lowed by long penitentisry sentence and he would have afterward been re- mem bered only to be execrated.
 The information on which the war rant was issued for the arrest of the victim in this case came from parties who were considered thoroughly relia- ble, and being so considered, there was no reasonable moral doubt of the truth of the charge. The witnesses were willing enough to set the machinery of the law in motion, but they sickened at the motion, weakened, and. the de- fendant was honorably discharged.

AN AVERTED TRAGEDY.
How an English Captain Put Out a Fire
 in the Nick of Time.

How an English Captain Put Out Fire
 in the Nick of Time.
 The Historical Records of the Forty-Third Light Infantry" the fa- nous regiment which played most important part in English warfare during the last quarter of the eigh- teenth century and the early part of the nineteenth, contains a stirring in- cldent of the prompt action which averted tragedy, says the Manches- ter Times.
 Worn out with hard march the brig ade under Capt Lloyd approached the convent at Benevente, where the cav airy and reserve still remained, hoping for shelter. They were disappointed. The convent was occupied by several thousand infantry, and the lower gal leries were so densely packed with the horses of cavalry and artillery that it was hardly possible for man to make his way among them.
 Two of the officers stood looking in at the dubious prospect through the single door that gave ingress and egress. A sudden cry of alarm burst from the lips of one. Look therer' he cried, pointing over the backs of the horses. At that moment one of the inside wooden shutters burst into flame. Mortified, the officers looked at the burning shutter, and realized the hopelessness of the situation. It would be impossible to get the 5000 men and horses out, and they must stand by and see their comrades perish miserably There was no water near, and if there were, how get at the fire through those densely crowded horses?
 The flames crept upward towards the rafters. Good heavens! Something must be doner' cried Capt. Lloyd. And then with motion to those outside to be quiet, the brave captain leaped on the back of the nearest horse, and stepping from back to back of the ami mals, ran to the blazing shutter, tore it from it's hinges and pitched it from the window. Then he made his way back to the door in the same way as before.
 So quickly was the act performed that even the horses were scarcely dis turbed. The building was saved and there was no panic, which would have been as disastrous as the flames. The captains eyebrows and mustache were scorched, but that was all. And they'll grow again." he said. with a laugh.

A SIGN OF MISERY.
Abundance of Obsolete Gold Coins In
 England Has Sad Meaning.

I1db u sdu hchulhSs
 Anyone who has collected old French or old German coins still in occasional circulation, say the thalers of Frederick the Great. or the forty-franc pieces of the first Napoleon, knows that Berlin and Paris are not the cities to find them in. The capitals have the latest issues from the mint. It is either in remote villages or in some locality where want asserts itself as a factor in outlay that the old coins come to the monetary surface. Homburg or Baden or Wiesbaden was the likeliest place in which to find the debased coinage of King Frederick-notl lately, but thirty years ago, when the gaming table drew them from the stockings. So at this moment a handful of gold pieces at Monte Carlo shows larger area of sovereignties than a money changers entire till in the Palais Royal. Within the last week the same law is asserting itself in London and in the big cities of the north, says the Westminster Gazette. Light gold and obsolete gold is in brisk circulation, and the explanation is sad enough Long ago the methodical Londoner paid into his bank all his pre-Vic- torian gold, but the poor are their own bankers and their deposits are their own hoards. The well-worn coins now going about show the breaking up of these long and carefully guarded reserves. It is but one other evidence of the wideness and the cruelty of the privation by which we are surrounded.

STAR SHOWERS.
Times When They Fell from the Heavens
 Like Hail.

Like Hail.
 The first of the notably "third of a century" meteoric displays which went into the records occurred on November 12, 1799, and was witnessed by Hum boldt, the scientist traveller, in South America. Humboldt gave vivid de- scription of it, which is in books on popular astronomy. Boupland, an other scientific writer who also ob- served the display, said that from the beginning of the phenomenon there was not a space in the Armament equal in extent to three diameters of the moon that was not filled at every mo ment with bolides and falling stars"
 The next of these third of century star showers occurred on the night of November 12, 1853, and it lasted seven or eight hours. During most of this time the meteors flying through the air were as thick as snowfalzes in a mod crate snowstorm. This was seen all over North America. In the southern states many of the slaves were so frightened by the spectacle, thinking the end of the world had come, that some of them died with terror. But the fright was shared in to large ex- tent by whites also, and all over the country.
 Thirty-three years later, or in 1866, Europe saw almost as remarkable a star shower, at the same time in No vember, which lasted six or seven hours; but as this country was still turned toward the sun at that time we missed most of it. The next year, though, the shower came when it was night here, and as the atmosphere was clear it was observed over the greater part of the United States.
 As this third of a century law of periodicity is established we may ex- pect another of those notable displays in 1899 or 1900 at the same time in No yember.

 In the case above mentioned, much more aggravating than the hypothetical performances of the burglar or the lunatic, the perpetrators were either dangerous fools or moral assassins. What can be done with them?

IT WAS NOT UNEXPECTED.


 Burglaries are commonly described as unexpected events, like earthquakes and other incidents which occur with a greater or less degree of suddenness. Burglaries in Phmnix. however, are not unexpected. It is true they are not ar ranged according to public schedule, yet when a night passes without it's burglary there is a general feeling of agreeable disappointment.
 The expected happened on Sunday night. A burglary occurred which re- suited in net gain to the participants of more than $40o, enough to pay the salaries of three additional patrolmen for two months.
 The amout of losses by other burgla- ries and robberies which may be ex- pected with confidence would keep the salaries running.
 Of course, that $4O0 cannot now be used in paying policemen, nor will the amounts stolen in the future be divert ed to that purpose, and the figures are given here only to prove that it is cheaper to have ample police protec- tion than not to have it.

It is simply an inn mense upright octagonal pillar stand ing in well-like chamber, surrounded on four sides with strong walls pro- vided with arched openings which al low the rising waters free access to the nilometer. The recording pillar is covered throughout it's length and on all of it's eight sides with cubits and digits nicely divided, painted with great precision, much resembling sec- tions of a gigantic checker-board. There is a huge staircase leading from above down to the bottom of the cis- tern, in which the nilometer stands, the well-worn steps attesting to the immense number of times the instru- ment has been consulted.

ONE MANS DIPLOMACY.
It Stopped the Baby's Crying and Earned
 Him Everlasting Gratitude.

LII" EherldstIuS GrdtI1Uue.
 It was in an ''L'' train and baby was crying with all the strength of it's two-year-old lungs. 1.-The expression on the faces of the occupants of the car changed from indifference to pity, then to annoyance, and finally to downright anger. Finally, says the New York Recorder, a man two or three seats from the crying child leaned over and snapped his fingers quickly.
 The effect was magical. The child stopped in the middle of yell, and gazed open eyed and open mouthed at the man. He snapped his fingers sev- eral times, then, accompanying them with grotesquely cheerful smiles and a peculiar shake of his head which seemed to highly interest the cross cherub and appeal to his sense of humor, for a wavering little smile crept around the corners of the droop- ing mouth and the cries ceased for good. The man leaned back in his seat, bestowing occasional cheerful winks and smiles at the vanquished foe.
 He reaped his reward. The old fel- low next to him declared he had diplo- macy enough to make a prime minis ter, the men opposite peeped at him in friendly recognition over the tops of their papers, the woman near him with nerves and headache said: "Thank you," and the pretty girl in the cor her gave him sweet smile That man left the car followed by score of blessings, and the cross baby turned over and actually went to sleep.

During the time of the periodical in undation of the valley of the Nile a queer recording instrument, known as the "nilometer," is hourly and daily consulted by sluggish Egyptian off cer, who, to judge from his motions and actions, cares but very little if the river keeps its bed or overfows the whole northern half of the African continent. But, as it is the only labor he is forced to perform. and as his bread and cheese usually depend upon proper execution of the duties assigned, the record is taken with scrupulous accu- racy.
