Arizona Roads.

Outside the larger towns, public road
making in Arizona, where prairie and
mountain trails are the only wagon
routes, has not advanced beyond the
wheel tracks of primitive times. For the
most part a little shoyeling is the only
work that has been done, and that only
at the crossings of gullies and where the
trail lies through canyons. In the out
skirts of towns irrigating bitches fire.
quently cross the road, and their over
flows and washouts. which occur more or
less frequently, may cut dangerous gull
lies in the highway or conceal it IN Il
wide shallow lake. Wooden bridges and
culverts have been tried on much trav-
eled trails, but they are apt to disappear,
as the native Mexican population regard
them as providential gifts TO remove for
their own private purpose. Where the
road skirts the edge OF gullies rains and
floods often undermine the sides, which,
falling of in sections, leave a sheer wall,
it may be fifteen or twenty feet high. BY
successive slouchings the trail is en-
croached on in places and a detour must
be made. Thus stage ride in broken
country is likely to be exciting to the
point of apprehension, even with an eX
perienced driver who knows the route
and the probabilities of it's shiflings.

when Las Vegas. \. NJ. was a red
hot town, i'll the years from 20 to 50, !"
said the ex-southwestern journalist to a
New York san reporter, ''it required
careful wording OF paragraphs, based on
poker judgment Of human nature to
avoid misapprehension on the part of
persons mentioned, with the best inten-
tons, IN our columns. / remember that
in the Las Vegas Optjc the city editor. a
crack one, once wrote careful criticism
of a drama presented by local talent in
aid, think, of fire engine company.

Kansas, poor fellow had taken one OF

But when, in a complimentary notice OF
the play, the optic referred to him as the
heavy villain he took umbrage at the
term and thrashed the city editor. All!
those were great days, and our Territorial
newspapers pitched in Tor all they were
worth, but an editor who cared for lon
gevity and quiet had to ponder over his
praise AS for criticism, even tho most
discriminating comment was dynamite"

THE MANDOLIN CONCERT.
A Charming Entertainment by TIL
Arion Mandolin Club.

a Charming Entertaiument by the
Arion Mandolin Club.
Chickering Hall was crowded last night,
the occasion being the third recital OF the
Arion Mandolin Club. 1t was strictly an
invitation affair. The club consists of
seventeen persons, mostly young women,
and the instruments used were mando-
Inns, mandolas. violin, guitar and piano.
The club was assisted by Miss Hattie
Wheat, the well-known contralto, who
sang two solos in excellent voice, with
discriminating judgment and good taste;
MISS bessie osborn, who sang soprano
solo pleasantly. and Horace Crocker,
who gave two bass solos with the excel
Ience which characteriZes all his work.
The club gave three numbers with pre-
cISlon, ia me taste, and with intelligent
conception OF the themes. The playing
was under the direction G.. u. Stever,
who has been the teacher of about all the
mandolin players i'll the city. The work
OF The club certainly does it and him
great credit. The gem of the clubs play
ing was new piece, a Spanish waltz,
La Navanjere," composed by Miss
Emma Gee Of this city, whose compost
tions have several times been referred to
IN these columns. The waltz was ar

Martens, and its rehearsals were ali I'M
der the direction of Mr.. Stever. The
composition Is one OF marked originality.
1t has character OF distinguishing order;
1t bOrroWS from nothing before written.
1t IS, however, much more than novel;
its melody is very beautiful, and its
movement vigorous, spirited, almost ag-
gressive Wuhal it is WoOing waltz, Il
tempting weaving Of melodies that is de-
Iightful. The piece deserves arrangement
tor full orchestra or band. Under such
treatment we forecast 1or it marked sue
cess.
The Lyra Either Club, nine either play
ers, and two played with mandolIns and
two with guitars, played TWO numbers
that gave the audience great pleasure,
and testified to degree of skill not often
attained by amateurs upon the either.
The Ideal Mandolin Club, seven MEM
bers, also under direction OF MIR. Stever,
played three numbers eXcellently. 1t is
said TO embrace the most skilled players
IN the city. Its method and execution
left little to be desired. Master Carl
\ oack, child in knickerbockers, gave
either solo with surprising skill for one
SO young.
All in all, the concert was one Of the
most satisfying given in this city in long
time. We confess to surprise that the
home players have been brought up to
such a plane Of excellence. In fact it
rose very considerably superior to anna
teur effort and is a credit to home musical
capacity.

4 correspondent Of the Washington
star has been doing the Holy Land.
and is filled with admiration for the dam
sells of Bethlehem. la recent letter he
writes: Il don't wonder that Boaz fell
in love with Ruth. The Bethlehem girls
are among the beauties of the East, and
you will find more pretty girls in the
hills of Judea than III the same amount
OF territory anywhere else the world over.
a shiplOad Of these Bethlehem maidens,
if they could be transported to the great
Northwest, would capture the bonanza
farmers of the Dakotas just as Ruth cap
tured this great land owner, BOaZ, and
when they came back to Washington as
Senator'S wives they would be the bellies
of the Capital. These Bethlehem maid
ems are tair-skinned and bright-eyed
They have straight, well-rounded forms,
which they clOthe in long dresses OF white
linen, so beautifully embroidered in silk
that single gown requires many months
OF work.
This dress is much like an American
wonan's night gown, without the friils
and laces. 1t fails from the neck to the
feet, and is open at the front in a narrow
slit as far down as a modest decollete
dress. over this gown they wear sleeve
less cloaks OF dark red stripes, and the
head they cover with q long shawl of
linen embroidered with silk. Each girl
wears her dover on her person in the
shape Of a necklace Of coins. and the
forehead of each maiden is decorated
with a crown of coins. some of which are
silver and others gold They do not hide
their faces like the Mohammedan women,
and their features are clean-cut and re-
fined. l have seen fair samples OF the
pretty girls OF most of the countries of the
world, and the Bethlehem girls are the
equals Of any. They are as Intelligent as
they are pretty, and l found that those
whom l traded with usually got the best
Of the bargain. There is little poverty in
Bethlehem, and the girls whom l met
were weI-dressed for the Orient, and
they seemed well-to-do."

ITses Of Cotton.See5 on.

Last year there We're probably ,250, 600
tons Of seed crushed. OF this seed there
were obtained Loco, 900 barrels OF oil. OF
this amount it is estimated by PadgBta-
centlcdE Era that 800 GOO barrels are used
in Chicago for making lard, and ST. Louis,
Kansas City and Omaha are credited with
about zoe. 600 in making the same product.
A comparison of the statistics OF lard pro-
duction and cotton-seed oil consumption
might show interesting results as to the
composition Of the former. About 10000
barrels of cotton oil are used on the coast
OF Maine to pack sardines. and probably
so. 600 to 100, 900 barrels are used by soap
makers III the manufacture OF toilet
soaps. About 30, 600 barrels go to Rot
terdam, Holland, for making butter. and
large quantities go to southern Europe for
mixture with the pure % olive oils ex-
norted from MarseilIes, Trieste and other

CHARLES L AND THE CAR
The Latter Did Not Wish to Deal With
Parliament.

Parliament.
1t was in 1G45, in the thick of the dis
pute between Charles and his refractory
Parliament. that the Cars first Embas-
sador tDokhturov) reached London, to
find that he would have TO deal, not with
the King of England, but with the Par
lament, which had assumed the direction
of England's foreign policy. Indeed,
Dokhturov did not see Charles at all. and
it was only on the 18th OF June of the fol-
lowing year that he was formally recog-
niZed and received by Parliament. Then
some amends were made for the inhospit-
able treatment which he had received.
On the day mentioned he was received
by Parliament with great ceremony, first
by the House of Lords, and then by the
House Of Commons. On his entry into
the upper house, it appears from the Rus
sian records, all the peers rose from their
seats ana listened to his speech with their
heads uncovered, ard after Lord Man
chester had replied, he was invited to sit
down in a chair covered with red atlas
and adorned with gold and silver stones.
Thereupon all the peers sat down. After
having remained seated awhile they all
again rose, and Lord Manchester, hand
ing dispatch to the En- bassador, spoke
as follows: when you are again with
the great Car, inform him that we, the
Kings noblemen, do obeisance to that
great ruler, anu Deg anu pray LDaC JOQ
will grant him many years of health" 4
similar ceremony took place in the House
of Commons.
Twelve days later Dukhturov Quilted
London, and it is unnecessary TO ada the
message he took away with him did not
satisfy his royal master. Alexis wanted
something more than pOliteness, and he
did not relish the fact that the reply had
come, not from the King, but from the
Parliament. To show his displeasure, he
sent the unfortunate Charles a present of
80, coo quarters Of grain to assist in pro-
visioning his troops in their fight with
the army of Cromwell.
He also gave ear to the petition of the
Moscow merchants that he should with
draw the privileges which the English
merchants in Russia had hitherto en-
joyed.
"These foreigners" said the native
merchants, ARE stopping our trade with
Archangel, and they are starving out the
whole Kingdom of Muscovy by buying
up in Moscow and in other towns meat
and every kind of provision and bread,
which they export to their own country"
They also complained that the English.
not content with competing with them in
Russia, prevented them from opening up
direct trade with England. a Russian
merchant name Yaroslav had managed to
reach Holland with quantity of Sables,
but had to return with his goods unsoId.

against him.-The Fortnightly Review.

LITTLE FISHES

the Water Faucets.
Although the fish season is now on,
people generally prefer to choose what
kind of fish they are to eat. as it
makes considerable difference whether it
has been dead one day or one week. This
they cannot do, however, unless they
place some kind of netting about their
faucets, for scarcely day passes that
someone does not find young fishes or
cells in the water drawn from hydrants.
And they are usually very dead-so
dead that they are Objectionable to both
taste and smell. But suppose some
should be swallowed while they are alive
and kicking? 1t wouldn't be very pleas
ant to go about feeling that you were
walking fish-pond.
1t would DE well for all persons to avoid
drinking river water in the dark, or with
out iirat examining it, for squirming cells
and young catfish are not the only objec-
tonable things liable to be swallowed.

son and nm lNrGLLlGRScER reporter.
Mr.. 1omlinson was speaking OF tho et-
forts oil the Island people to secure,
cheaper modes Of transportation 10 and
from the Garden Spot, and said that 1t
had occurred to him that cable from
tho high ground near Eleventh street to
tower on the Island m which car
could DO run would DO the cheapest and
best way out OF tho difficulty. Others
present, without much consideration,
expressed tho opinion that tho project
wouiu not %, practical. Thus the mat
ter ended at that time.
Mr.. Tomlinson did not share tho
opinion OF tho others that the project
was not practical, and day or TWO
afterwards consulted Mr.. Gilmore
Brown, the well known civil engi-
neer. When the scheme had been ex-
planned to him ho at once saw that tho
scheme possessed many advantages,
chief among them being cheapncss and
novelty, which would draw patronage.
Alter lnrtner talk the engineer wrote
on 10 New York to secure quotations on

pectea. MIR. Brown also made the sng..
gcstion that two cables DO used instead
OF one ms proposed at first. This was
considered a good suggestion. Other
gentlemen to whom the project was
mentioned also saw its merits, and as a
consequence it Is thought that there
will DO no trouble about securing the
necessary capital when the franchises
