SPRUClNG UP SAINTS.
Delicate Repairs for Tucson's Dew

Delicate Repairs for Tucson's Devil and Other Immortals.
 AS is we'll known the once choice fres- coes in Tucson's famous old church of San Xavier, are now in a sad state from neglect and times destructive ravages. Many an art lover has regretted that such grand paintings could not be re- stored. The work ought not to be con- sidered impracticable. Any artist of a practical turn should be able to figure the expense involved and could base his figures upon the estimates made for an old church in Belgium which de- cided to repair it's properties, and en- ployed an artist to touch up one of the | huge paintings. Upon presenting his bill the committee in charge refused payment unless the details were speci- fled, thereupon he presented the items as follows:

 Editor REPUBLICAN Since my last letter to you 1 have learned the names of the men that were found dead on the desert. One was Rogers and one was HOskins, not Mcdonald. Four men left Congress together. After travel ing about twenty miles they separated and hoskins and Rogers were left. The other two went to Copper Camp, from there to Cullen's wells and from there to Harrisburg mine, stating that their partners were left on the desert to die. II they had made it known m sn had been found. Rogers and his partner went to the Copper Camp and got water and went on. Mcdonald and his partner went to work st the Harqua Hala mines, never say ing anything about their partners. When 1ound, the dead men were lying en their backs with their hats over their faces. No man dies in that shape with thirst. Foul play Is suspected and the case ought to be investi- gated. It was done in Maricopa county, but the bodies were brought over to Yuma and buried

A Rival of the Bicycle.

A rather formidable compe titor of
the cycle has made its appearance in
the Midlands in the shape Of a pneu-
matte road skate. 1t has lately been
seen in the streets of Birmingham
and, judging from the admiration it
excites, is not unlikely to find its way
soon into all parts of the country.
The invention, which was patented a
short time ago by a Scotch firm, is evil
IDENTIFY derived from the old roller
skate of skating rink celebrity, but,
whereas the ordinary roller skate has
four wheels, the pneumatic skate has
osly two placed in line at either ex-
Iremity of the skate. The wheels are
rather larger than those of the roller
skate, and instead of solid rubber are
covered with pneumatic tires. The
patenteeS claim for them that one can
skate over ordinary turnpike roads
with them the same as on ice and at
even greater speed, while at the same
time they will easily ascend and de-
scend hills. Six or seven miles an
hour, however, is the maximum speed
attempted in the streets of Birming-
ham, and that only on smooth roads.
One obvious advantage of the pneu-
matte skate over the pneumatic cycle
is that punctured tires may be readily
replaced, as the skater may carry sur
plus tires, or even reserve wheels ready
fitted, in his overcoat pocket.

A Tree ON Every Grave.

In the land of the Moslem, the coun-
try of the followers of Mahomet, the
true prophet, Moslem grave, when
once filed in, is never to be opened on
any account. With view to remove
the faintest chance of any grave being
thus defiled the Moslems plant cy-
press tree on every grave Immediately
after the interment, which makes the
Moslem cemeteries resemble forests.
Two hundred millions, or fourteen per
cent. of the human race, profess Mo
hammedanism. A year or two ago
some missionaries were sent to this
country in order to seek it's conversion
to the ''true faith" Turkey is the
only portion of Europe occupied in
force by Moslems, but they abound in
many parts of Asia. In the island OF
Timor burials are much delayed owing
to the necessity of gathering funds for
the burial feast, which in most cases
means ruin to the family. After the
feast comes the burial; as soon as the
grave is filed in a young cocoanut
palm is planted upon it.

bituminous coal, it represents the ac-
tual amounts in their proper order of
minerals, ores and precious stones

A LAND OF PHENOMENA.

Strange Results Produced by Storms in
the Northern Half of Borneo.
The northern half of the island of
Borneo is the queerest and most unsat-
isfactory place to live that one can
imagine, says a writer in the Globe
Democrat. 1t is a land of constant re-
curing phenomenal where cyclones are
frequent and deluges of water very
common. The vegetation in that half
is very fine, but in all probability the
widest and most tangled on earth
not. even excepting that of Africa.
The cause of all the trouble is the
shallow condition of the sea north of
it, great shoals of sand existing few
miles out which extend along its en-
tire northern length. These shoals
are covered by a depth of water not
over five feet deep. The constantly
recurring winds that blow in that eli
mate change to hurricanes and sweep
the smaller islands of all visible life.
When such a storm strikes the sand
shoals north of Borneo it sweeps up the
shallow salt water into it's course and
drenches the island with it. Often it
gathers up sand, great masses of it,
from the clear swept shoal and whirls
it for miles high over the island, carry
ing it into the inland and scattering it
everywhere. The work of these
storms does not always end with that.
Entire shoals of fish, of all sizes, have
been swept up time and again by the
fierce wind with the water and sand
and scattered about Borneo. In some
places the ground would be literally
covered with fish, enough to supply a
heavy population for weeks. But
such luck is no PREPARATION for the evil
the winds do, and consequently the
northern half will never be inhabited
by those who value their lives.

Public Comfort Building at jackson Park
Opened at Last
The Public Comfort building in jack
son park is now ready for use. It
stands just across the street north Of
the Woman's building and little way
from the Fifty-niDth street entrance.
The structure has the appearance of a
large summer pavilion, being light,
airy and roomy. The main part is two
stories high, with a round top roof
over an immense central court. On
the east and west ends are circular pa
vilions one story high with fiat roofs,
surmounted by pagodas. To the north
extends two-story stem. The build
ing throughout is furnished with all
the conveniences for the comfort and
accommodation of guests. 1t is in
tended as place where people can go
to rest, eat and be refreshed. The
court, surrounded at the second story
by balcony, will be literally fur
nished with chairs, settees and tables.
In the circular pavilions there will be
cafes, with lunch counter attachments
and lemonade and soda water foun-
tains. There will also be a liberal
number of free closets and washing
rooms and a few private apartments to
which persons in need of quiet may
retire. When ready for use this build
ing will doubtless become one of the
most popular on the grounds. 1t
fronts to the south and has three
large entrance doors. There are also
doors opening out on circular balconies
north of the two pavilions at the east
and west sides.
On the second floor are several small
er rooms where privacy may be OBJ
tanned. The walls and ceilings are
plastered and windows in abundance
on all sides will give entrance to any
breezes that may be stirring on hot
days.

Ex-senator Evarts Finds His Farm in YER
mont Costly Toy.


mont Costly Toy.
'sIt costs considerably more to run
farm than people imagine" remarked
a man to a Boston Herald reporter.
ga man may support yacht, go off on
long cruises, entertain literally, and
gain the reputation of being hail fell
low well met: but oftentimes, it has
been asserted, the running of farm
is still more costly. People as rule
labor under the impression that the
returns more than offset the outlay.
They figure that the owner raises
enough vegetables and fruit to last
him from year to year, and the fact
that he can enjoy homemade butter
is something not to be disregarded in
summing up the profit and loss.
''Now, that idea is entirely errone-
GUS, which 1 think I can prove to your
satisfaction" Then settling himself
in his seat, the speaker went on to tell
of the agricultural experience of Will
liam M. Evarts, the famous New York
larwyer, who has just celebrated his
golden wedding on his farm. He rea-
liked at one time, it has been said, an
income of over fifty thousand dollars
yearly from his practice. He was also
the owner of the place at Windsor,
VT, on which gang of men was con-
stantly employed.
On one occasion lady, hearing of
Mr.. Evarts' large income from his pro-
fession, exclaimed in the presence of
the attorneys wife: GLOW rich they
must bep' to which the latter replied
in quiet manner: "You forget, mad
am, that we own farm" 1t is also
related of the distinguished lawyer,
that, while entertaining a number of
friends at his home one evening he
produced several bottles of champagne
and quantity of milk. Turning to
his guests he said, withouta semblance
of humor: Gentlemen, here is some
milk from my farm, and here is some
wine. You can take your choice
they both cost the same"
