with two hands, e1evatfng them above with only one hand and raising cart wheel, weighing three hundred and ten pounds, from the ground to her chest. there balancing it on her chin. One of the sensational feats Yucca per forms is raising three hundred pounds weight with the assistance of a rope and hook attached to her neck.
 Another champion at lifting is Flos- sic La Blanche, the female Samson. She also is a native of this country and possesses wonderful strength, although not able to accomplish the difficult feats performed by Minerva and Yucca. This is not because she does not possess the same splendid physical develop ment She has not had the training and the experience of her sister ath- letes. FIossie La Blanche stands five feet seven inches and weighs one hun dred and fifty pounds. She lifts bar
 bell weighing one hundred and fifty pounds with two hands above her head, and ean break chains upon her chest with her bare hands. She is credited with pulling up a seventy pound dunb-bell. using only one hand, and ysth elevating forty-pound dumb-bell twenty-five times in thirty minutes, which is a rare feat. She is constantly improving and expects in the near future to be able to accomplish the marvels performed by Athleta, Minerva and Yucca. Of the prowess of Bronx, the Bavarian strong woman, (who is said to lift barrel of water with her teeth. raise eight hundred pounds with her two hands from the ground, and lift horse) the papers abroad are constant ly telling Angela, the Italian cham pion strong woman, is said to stand five feet eight inches in height. She lifts two hundred and fifty pounds with one finger and elevates q fifty-ponnd bell with one hand Neither Bronx nor Angela have been in America, but Tulla, the German champion strong woman, who is said to be far ahead of Bronx or Angela. is coming to this country to meet Minerva and Yucca. Tulla stands five feet six inches in height. weighs one hundred and sixty pounds and her bust is fifty inches. She is said to possess wonderful muscular development for female, and is cred- ited with performing feats which the ordinary amateur strong man could not achieve. It is said she lifts a horse while hanging with her feet, the latter being fastened with anl1let loops to the bar she is suspended from. Comparing the performances of these wonderful female samsons, it looks as if the championship lies between Tulla and Minerva. Another strong woman who is fast gaining fame in England is Alice Sinclair She is not only noted for her feats of strength but is splendid equestrienne and quite a swimmer, too
 Since the outbreak of the strong woman craze, she has daily practieed in gym nasiums and gained both muscle and strength. Her manager expects her within year to be formidable rival of any strong woman in America or Eng land. JOHN GLOW.

have made themselves champions at rowing, boxing, teeth lifting, fencing, bicycle riding and heavy weight lift ing. The conjecture has been ven tured that the twentieth century prize ring will have no king. She will be queen.
 In the weight lifting field of feminine endeavor, which requires no slight expenditure of strength and muscle, there are several champions, not only in America, but in France, Germany and England. The feats of these fair ones appear hardly credible, and only the fact that they have made records before competent judges in public ex- hibitions places their powers beyond question.
 In England the champion strong woman is Mile. Athleta, good-look ing, well-formed, muscular specimen of womanhood, who has thrown down the gauntlet to Americas champion strong woman, Minerva Glossie Le Blanche, and to Yucca. Athleta stands five feet seven inches in height and weighs one hundred and fifty pounds, and her bust measurement is forty-two inches. Among the feats. of strength she per forms is the notable one of swinging a chair with her teeth all around her own head. She also holds a pyramid of chairs above her head with her teeth. She lifts, also, a hundred-and-seventy- pound man up in chair with her teeth, or an anvil three hundred pounds in weight. Holding a fifty six pound weight at arms length in each hand is bagatelle to her. She is likewise delft at lifting a hundred-and-thirty pound dumb-be1 over her head with one arm. Often she has held ffty-six-pound weight in each hand while she lifted thirty pounds with her teeth. She can lift up a barrel with three heavy men on it, and a barrel of water weighing six hundred pounds, the latter feat be- ing performed with her teeth alone. She raises an anvil weighing three hun dred pounds with one finger. A horse with harness and slings weighing one thousand three hundred and forty pounds has often been suspended in the air on her hands.
 Athleta four years ago was unknown to fame. Practice with the gymnasium medicine ball began to develop her muscle and increase her strength. The medicine ball is an ordinary covered sphere about twice the size of a foot ball. It is filled inside with hair and twine and made to weigh about twelve pounds. The weight is so easily dis tributed and the ball so large that it does not seem, when handled, one-half it's weight. It was Athletas favorite exercise, although she daily worked with dumb-bells, pulleys and the like. She says the medicine ball is the best to develop muscle and increase the strength of females because it can be used with perfect safety in normal con- ditions and the movements made with it will have tendency to build up the back, exercise the waist and limbs and enlarge the chest. Athleta, who has made study of physical training and | has uttered several females in England, said on this subject:
 .'The principal object in training for the athletlc arena or the prize ring is to

Facts About Water Supplies.

The Tuiara Register says: This city pays $50 per month the year round for water for all purposes and uses all the water it wants. If there is a fire the water company pumps directly into the mains so that fire engines are notneeded and we have two to four sprinkling wagons running whenever it is dusty. For irrigation there is the cemetry, the plaza i3l5 acres), the depot park, the park west of the dspct, L brary Hall and tue school grounds, altogether a dozen acres or mere irrigated either for lawn or trees. There are g fire hydrants.
 Uantord owns it's own water plant for municipal and ire purposes, for the con- struction of winch it voted S20,00O in bonds. The int rest on this is Sl2tO a year and t costs 5700 a year to operate the system, so that Hanford pays Sl 900 year for what it costs Tulare Sl, ,SC0.
 Nisala's fire department alone costs 1t T ,G00 year, 8 luxury that Tulare Is practically eE8bied 10 dispense with be- cause of tba water company's pumping into the mains, for, if it should refuse to do this because Of the extra strain put upon the pipes (there always being some mending 10 do after Gra) Tulgre would assuEedIy have to ges steamer and maintain h paid department.
 Merced pays S600 year for irrigatipg l3 acres of park, pays 370 per for each sprinkling wagon during the spFirkiing season and S2.J0 per month the year around for each fire hydrant; and Mer- ced's system is a gravity system and DO pumping has to be done.
 Fresno pays 5I00 per month for water fer fire purposes alone Rnd the company does not have to pump into the main at ali, the weter being pumped from the mains with engines. Altogether, Fresno paye 53ZG per month for water for muni- cipal purposes.

NEW LEASE OF LIFE.
Jose MarIa SOrtillOn Will Not Hang.
Phoenix uerald.1

Judge J. II. Kibbey this morning re' l ceiyed telegram from his partner ct torney II. II. Williams, at Prescott, stating that the Supreme Court had re. versed the decision in the Sortill, n case ! and had sustained the decision in the Juan8 Walker case.
 h the first named case the decision of the Supreme Court meant life or death
 to a man Nho for three years has been an inmate Of the county jail. The
 United States grand jury sitting in Phoenix returned tue bill charging Jose Maria Sortillon with buryiog alive on November 12, 1892, on the Indian reservation near Yuma, the one-dsy- old nGie child of Guerre, an Indian woman. The same month tho indictment was found he was tried for the murder of ths babe, the jury failing to agree. The prisoner was returned to jail where he remained until the May term Of court of the next year when he was again tried and on the 25th of that month the jury E d aUd oo June 5th Judge B .lser sen- fenced him to be hung in the court hopse yard nt Phoenix on July 27th.
 Attorney k,cbey took gD appeal to the Supreme Court, p here the case has rested uDii! this morning, wben de- cisi n wra handed down granting .be prisoner new trial and saving h;s neck from the Elai.er for the present at least.
 When Judge klbOey informed his client of the dscisl3n this morning a look ci great happiness 0Verspregd his face and he remRrked, "l am glad" It was certainly cheering news t0 G man who for the past three years has been deprived Of ais liberty behind iron bars and whc for over 8 year has stood in the shadow of the gRilows tree.
 The dec'eion in tho Juana Walker case was another triumph for Judge Kibbey and the decision Of the lover court which gives the estate 10 the brother of John Walker and casts aside Juana Walker, who claimed 10 be the daughter of the dead millionaire, and en5s a most stubbornly co: tested case.
 Ano her important decision handed down this morning by the Supreme Court xns in the appeal from the iudg meut granted by Judge Baker against tho bondsmen of ex-Sheriff Gray m favor of Daniel N4onan for Sl6000. The judgement of the lower court was re- versed and the case sent back for new trial.

powers interested in the settlement. But this position IS rot tenable. It IS China to which Japan must look Tor the money she IS to receive and 1t IS Chinese territory that ls involved ID the cont ov- ersy, and If IL B matter of keeping faith with the European powers let them make good the indemnity If they do not Want Japan to continue at Port rthur."
 The representatives here of the mika- dos goyernm-nt are evidently not Im- pressed with the belief that France and Germany ere so much concerned over this settlement Gs has been represented. Diplomats generally also find 1t hard to realize that Russia should be g. much n earnest in pressing Japan to the wall in these matters as she IS reported to be. I hey say that, having gained every ad- vantage sought, Russia would naturally be expected nOw to press Ter claims in way not to further wound the 1t elings of he Japanese.
 ''isu sis," said member of the dipio- matic corps, "has succeeded in prevent ing Japan's getting any foothold what ever m the Asialic continent, aGd it is evident from recent accounts that the European power IS resping the diplo- matte harvest in COrea to which Japan i Is entitled. IL has always been Russ as policy to treat Q COZ quered people SO lienently as to scon Russiapize them. Why she sbolld not trea: Japan as libar- ally. and make the Pacific island her actual, as she is her natural, ally, passes mv comprehension"
 There IS good reason for believing the Japanese are taking every opportunity to impress upon the RIssia, the ah- vantage to them of friendly CO operation between the two countries in the eastern Pacific. Whether this $ to be dcne with view Of Japan continuing to hold Port Arthur notwithstanding the exist cree of the treaty Is rot so clear, but there are some who interp ct the Japan ese tactics to mean this. IL seems clear at any rate from all that can bs learned here tbat Japan will hold on to the fcot- ing she row occupies on ChIneso soil until the indemnity is paid or until she is driven out by mora formidable disp play than can be made in a diplomatic con- ference.
