A GOOD MAN GONE.
Death of George ENNIS at Phoenix,
Art

Death of George E. Mills at Phoenix,
Arizona.
News has been received here of the
death of George E. Mills. formerly OF
this city and for several years promi-
nent member of the Order of Foresters.
His health had been failing for two
years, and he went from Southern Cali
tornia to Phoenix. Ariz.. for a change, but
died on the 30th OF July, within three
weeks after his arrival there.
Deceased was a kind and affectionate
husband andtather and a moral, upright
citizen. He was born in England, and
came to this country with his parents
when very young. They settled in Canada,
where his relatives still reside. He was
rs years of age.

out driving in phetons and low buggies
had their summer costumes ruined and
pedestrians had to wade over muddy
crossings.
One hack was seen last night so be-
spattered with mud that it looked as if it
had come through hard winter. BIZ
cyclists stalled on streets last night that
the day prior were hard, dry and dusty.
1t would seem because it is cheaper to
put on much water and then put up the
teams and go to a beer joint to pass the
rest Of the day, that many sprinkling
drivers adopt that plan. In brief, the
conduct of the so-called sprinklers yes
terday was public outrage, and ought to
be investigated. The men knew well
enough that on such day. when evap-
Grafton would be very slow. but light
sprinkling was needed. What they did
do, however, was to put some ten mics
of streets atioat. And it is for this that
property owners pay taxes.
Early in the day, before the worst OF
the outrage had been perpetrated, Super
intendent Murray was spoken TO about
the flooding of some of the lower streets
as far down as Fourth and he replied that
he found il almost impossible to educate
the drivers of the sprinkling wagons.
They ought to shut off part of the water
where the shade is Dense" said he, be
cause there the street will remain wet
three times as long as where the sun
Shines"
Superintendent Murray should take
shotgun, then, and station himself on
some crossing and make an example OF
tho first stupid who floods it. No jury
would convict him If he filled such fell
lows with birdshot.
From one end of the city to the other
last night the people were loudly and bit
terly complaining. some about the mud
and flood, and others about no water and
the dust. a close examination of the
streets was made by RECORD-UNIoN re-
porter last night up to 10 o'clock, and the
judgment was reached that the street.
sprinkling performance of yesterday was
a public outrage and demands thorough
investigation by the Mayor and Trustees.
If such a thing should happen next
month, when we shall have thousands of
visitors in the city, Sacramento would
take damage that it would be difficult to
remove.

WILLIE GROVES TERRIBLE MISTAKE.
He Found Some Stychnine and
Tasted of 1t.
When He Told What He Had Done, 1t
Was Too Late to Save
His Life.

The danger in keeping poison about
the house had a mournful exemplification
in this city yesterday by the fatal mistake
made by young and promising boy
named Willie Groves, the fourteen-year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. George Groves,
who reside at Twentieth and E streets.
The family have resided here about two
years, having come from Canada.
It seems that some strychnine had been
put away in an old teapot, its presence
being unknown to the boy. Yesterday.
while engaged in some work away from
the house, ne had frequent occasions to
GO for drink of water. so he concluded
to get some sort of vessel and fill it, so as
to avoid having to make so many trips to
the faucet.
In his search about the house he came
upon the discarded teapot. He found q
small bottle in it containing whitish
powder, and his curiosity led him to taste
it. Being a very thoughtful and con-
scentious lad, it occurred to him that
perhaps he had done something wrong,
so he replaced it and went about his
work, thinking it best to say nothing
about II.
Therein he made a fatal mistake, for he
had swallowed enough of the strychnine
to kill him, and it was not until he was
seized with violent pains, and the poison
had done its deadly work. that he told his
parents OF what he had done.
No time was lost III sending for physi-
clan, and everything possible was done
to Try and save the poor boys life, but ii
was too late. He fingered III agony until
evening, when death ended his sufferings.
Willie Groves was fine. manly little
fellow, the pride of his parents and a
fuvorite in the neighborhood in which
the family lived. His father and mother
are Frustrated with grief over their terri
bic loss, and in their distress they have
the sympathy OF the community.

uniting a-well the law of the land does
not call it a crime, but in the unwritten
law of the home it certainly does constitute
crime Especially is this true of those
in modest circumstances, who cannot en-
ploy sufficient cooks. Burnt fingers sour
bread, scorched roasts, lcathery steak,
wlshywashy coffee and disordcred stomachs
are not conductive to the happiness that
one imagines the honeymoon should he
filled with. There are so many reasons,
logical and philosophical why cooking
should be included in the accomplishments
of young girls that it is useless to enumer-
ate them. Good cooking is the basis of

for the departures of these two tours are

ming of mi uries. The added strength
required to increase your speed even a
little after a certain amount of power
has been expended is out OF all proportion
to the results. There is no relaxation Of
the muscles between the revolutions of
the pedals, nor any let-up on the nervous
and muscular strain while the speed lasts.
The heart is far more taxed than one real
ICES at the moment, and that species of
tingling or numbness in the nerves and
muscles which often results is only a sign
that they have both been Overtaxed.
This danger OF acquiring too much speed
is natural enough. The bicycle runs so
easily on smooth asphalt OF macadam that
it is strong temptation to 'scorch"-in-
deed, it is so strong a temptation that as
soon as a girl has fairly learned to ride

THE BICYCLE AN OUTLET TO
WOMAN'S ZEAL.

There was good deal of pith to Mrs
Stanton's remark in reply to Bishop Doane
that women are riding to suffrage on the
bicycle. They may not be riding to SUI
frage, but they are riding everywhere and
everywhither they want to 20. Certainly
and conspicu usly they are riding into any
sort of costume 1t suits them to put on.
Boomers are getting so common that it
seems possible that the untutored eye will
presently dwell upon them without shock.
The more circumspect American ladies still
keep out of them, and may never come to
prefer them to skirts, but the young and
giddy experiment with them pretty freely.
Was there ever anything so etficacious to
give woman an idea OF what she could do
if she tried as the bicycle? Soberly speak
ing, if she had to choose between the ballot
and the bicycle as a means of development
and advancement, she might better cleave
to the bike 1t is worth more to her than
the ballot. 1t is more fun, more use, less
trouble, and very much less costly. There
was pith in what Miss Stanton said, but is
there not some substance in the suggestion
that the bicycle has brought women so
many new opportunities and privileges
that she never needed Or wanted the suf-
frage so little as now
