BE A GLORIOUS DAY.
The Fourth of July Will Be Fit tingly and Periodically Cele-
 brated at Flagstaff
Gov. Hughes will Deliver the Grafton and There Will Bean Ex cellent Pro- Ball in the Evening.

In the words of the old war song, Flagstaff is going to .'let the hills and wales rrsound" with the echoes of her mg Fourth of July celebration. No very elaborate preparations have yet been made, but the brilliant re cord of past achievements in this line is sure guarantee that this anniversary of the glorious Independence day will be q memorable occasion.
 The native small boy. always vocif- erously patriotic until he gets his fingers badly scprched, has announced his intention of spreading himself this Fourth of July with greater enthusiasm than he was ever known to manifest before, and of course he will set the pace for inc big folks
 HE SUN is not prepared to prlnt the full program of events, but it can be utlned in Il general way. One of the most important features of the celebration is the fact that his excel lrncy, Governor Hughes. has kindly consented to come to Flagstaff and de- liver the urali0n of ihc day. de com municated his willingness 10 appear in d dispatch lo Oscar GihSon's invitation. The Fort Wingatc military band Gone of the best musical organizations in this part of the country) has been en- gagged, and the general enthusiasm will be fired with patriotic airs all the day.
 Of course the G. A. R. and the militia will turn out and after the literary and musical exercises the day will be given over to outdoor sports. There will be horse races, bicycle races, foot races, burro races, base ball game (probably between Flagstaff and Phoenix), steer tying contests, broncIo busting and many other events that cannot be enumerated at this writing. The great day will be fit tingly concluded with Il grand ball in lhe evening at Babbitt's hall. This will unquestionably be the one great sncirty event of the season. The pro crrdS will be devoted to the fire com pany and the tickets, which are labeled with a s trademark, cntitle the holder lo two admissions (his best girl and himself) and refreshments. The Fort Wingalc band will furnish the inspira- ton for lhe TerpSichorean exercises and these committees have the affair in charge:

MURDERED AT MIDNIGHT.
White Caps Perpetrateda a Foul Crime
 at the Water rank.


 A dastardly crime was committed early thls morning. and the compara- lively clean pages of fair Arizona's history are darkened with the bloody testimony of the water tank.
 Suspended there, his one.time coal black face livid and ghastly in the sunlight, is deaf and dumb colored man, who gave up his young life last night to satisfy the insatiate craving for blood of a bowling mob of night hawks.
 The gang found their victim in front of Rogers clothing store. He was dressed in his best suit of clothes and not exactly prepared for burial.
 Lynch him! Lynch himr they hoarsely cried.
 A G-string was soon furnished and the unfortunate dummy was quickly strung up to the water tank. The inscription upon the lifeless body, as it hung limp in the air this morning, read:
 Wallace Ford--Gone but not for gotten."
 MT. Ford swears revenge and the police are on the trail. Several young men who are know to have missed Il nights sleep are under suspicion of having had hand in the dark crime and arrests may follow.

The next afternoon Austin Bland wns

WHEN SHE WAS THIRTY
By LOUISE CHANDLER MoULToN.


Copyright, 1875. by the Anthorl
II was Eleanor Gray's thirtieth birth
day. Suddenly she awokc TO tho knowl-
edge that youth. with its vague hopes
and dreams, was over. She had never
quite understood how swiftly the years
were passing. One day was so like an
other and the heart in her was SO young
she half thought that she herself was q
young girl still, and that love might be
waiting round the corner. Hitherto hope
had held her by the hand. But somehow
thero was cruel positiveness in the
number 80 So many years had she liv-
ed, the years of charm and expectancy.
What could there be to come now? But
what had there been, even in the past?
She went back in her thoughts over
che life she had lived and regarded it
ns il it had been that of some other per-
son. She had been born in the wrong
family. che said TO herself-that was
the beginning. They loved her well.

whose only child she was, but they had
never understood what she meant. Her
ways were not as their ways, nor her
thoughts as their thoughts. They had
been proud Of her in some uncompre-

hending fashion, but they had s,ailed
ut her aspirations and ambitions a> at
the amusing vagaries of petted infant.
They gave her the harp on which she
wanted to play, just as they had given
her the talking doll she coveted and
made friends with when she was a child.
They let her buy herself poetry books,
Just as they had let her buy sweetmeats.
They were good and dear--oh, so good
and dear!-she said to herself on this
morning Of her thirtieth birthday. But
they did not know her. No one had
ever known her. OF that she felt cer-
tain.
She took a little hand mirror from
her dressing table and began to study
her face in it. The features had not
changed very much since she was 90.
Perhaps the eyes were little more sad.
and the cheeks had not quite the wild
rose bloom that belonged to thea ten
years ago, but really there was not so
very much difference. Then she held the
glass nearer and looked in it little
moro closely. There were-yes, there
were--wrinkles, slight, yet unmistaka-
bic, ut the corners of her eyes. They
were big blue eyes, by the way, with
black lashes. The young gold of her
hair was turning to autumnal brown.
And the lips that had never been warm
ed by kisses seemed to have grown
Simmer.
Eyes, she said, "ah, yes, am old
erl can sec it in the glass. am not
so pretty as was, but what good did
the prettiness do? Who ever loved me
really, unless She did not finish the
sentence. II she had, it would have
been unless Tom did"
And then she laid down the glass,
and her thoughts went on long jour
ney, back to the faraway days when
Tom Rhodes used to come home with
her from all sorts Of places and look at
her with such eloquent eyes that she
had not forgotten their language even
yet She had never let him 60 farther
than looking. however. The world
her unconquered kingdom-was all be-
fore her in those days, and she did not
moan to take Tom for prime minister.
He was dear, good fellow. She used
always TO think that when she thought
about him at all. But there were poets
in the world, and painters and states
men, and Tom--was only Tom. He
taught school in the winter and was
busy on his widowed mothers small
farm in tho summer, and try how you
would you could not fancy him in tho
aspect OF conquering hero. So she had
kept Tom from speaking, and finally his
mother had died, and he had sold the
little farm, had gone away to that

cuts that have been blasted out Of the
solid rock.
At one or two of the most dangerous
places on this remarkable road safety
switches are in use. In descending the
grade, should the train get beyond control,
these switches will carry 1t around the
points OF mountains and up steep grade,
enabling the engineer to regain contro!
of the train. The road is baliasted with
broken rock, not even a shovelful of dirt
being visible on the entire roadbed.
The cost of constructing the thrity-one
miles OF road was 81 100000. Theengines
in use are 1O0-ton engines, but, owing to
the steep grades, they are unable to haul
more than three loaded ore-cars.
At one point the road makes curve
of seven miles to reach the higher grade.
and, If the tracks were ON level, the
upper one would be within few hundred
feet of the lower track of the loop
The track, however, after making the de-
tour Of seven miles is nearly 400 feet
higher than that portion shown at the
base OF the hills TO the right.
Not witbstanding the dangers attendant
upon raiiroading on this winding mount
ain road, but few accidents have occurred.
At intervals trains are stopped for the
PURPOSE of testing the air-brake, and the
utmost care is taken to prevent disasters.

JUSTICE TO LIFE,sAvERs.

No class OF public servants is compelled
ITO work harder, expose itself more con-
stantly 10 the chances of life and death,
nor ismore poorly paid than the men employ
ed iD the life-saving service. For some un-
explained and inexpllcable reason they
have always been made the butt OF Con-
gressional cheese-paring economy, and no
appeal made in their behalf has been of
any ax:iI.-
The Fifty-third Congress followed In the
footsteps of its predecessors; In fact, 1t
did even worse, for not only did 1t not in
crease the pay of these men, but reduced
it. Now that Secretary Carlisle has urged
that their wages be restored 10 their former
figure, it is 10 be hoped that Congress will
not listen to the voice of some self-consti-
tuted watch dog OF the treasury, but will
act in the spirit of the late Samuel s. Cox,
who always championed the life-savers'
cause and pleaded for fairness and justice
to these everyday heroes.
Human life must be reckoDed very cheap
if it forms the basis for the computation
of the life-savers' wages. This, of course,
is not true, and their pay is kept in its
meager slate simply because they do not
pose In the eyes OF the nation, cannot af-
ford to pay any lobbyist to advocate their
claims, and are too modest to make a
great outcry about their deserts and their
necessities. This is all the more reason,
however, why Congress should deal by
them, il not generously. at least Justly.
