the peerless climate, and during the
course of somewhat extended CONVEX

friend in New York, who, in a somewhat
sympathetic style, asked me how

that l was very comfortably settled in a
two-story brick house. electric lights,
hot and cold water, my own carriage,
electric cars two blocks off, and that l
was spending my waking hours over

"The climate here is wonderful and
am gaining in strength quite rapidly. l
take quite an interest in this territory
and am quite willing to believe that it
has great future. Irrigation is the key

Trouble Breaks Out Afresh in PhiIa.
1eIpE.ia but is Qmieted.


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 25.-The street
railway trouble broke out afresh this
morning. The men claim that the d.
vision superintendent in sending out cars
this morning gave preference to the new
men. Distractions were piled on the
tracks and threats were made of riot.
Serious trouble was averted on the
Girard avenue branch by the company
agreeing to put the old men to work.
The same pacific measures were adopted
on the Second and Third street branch
and at noon cars were running regularly
on both lines.
The brick stable attached to the hand
some country residence of John L Welsh,
president of the Union Traction COM
pauy in Germantown was burned to the
ground this morning. It is believed to
be the work of an incendiary. Loss

sing that charming thing
The sioth-the wisest beast
That moves by leg or wing,
Because he moves the least.
He does not rise to see
The sun the day begin.
1t can be done, thinks he,
Without advice from him.
He knows it's deeds men do.
That cause all suffering. -
Humanitarian true, y
He never does thing.
He simply eats and drinks
And cherishes ideals,
And indolently thinks
OF things he never feels.
He knows his theories
In practice would not ct,
And SO he never tries
To put them into it.

But when I'm born again,

MANY TROLLEY ACCIDENTS.

BROOKLYN. Feb. S.-Thc feature of the day in the trolley troubles of Brooklyn was the remarkable number of trolley ac- tho trolley companies claim. are due to the employment of green motormen. The company officials are disposed to lay the blamo for many of the accidents to the prevailing storm.
 Henry Havemeyer. aged Is years, was driving a coal wagon along Sumner ave nUe, and on crossing Myrtle avenue he was run into by trolley car of the Myr- tie Avenue line in charge of Motorman Edward P. Mahoney md Conductor Chris tophcr II. Crowell Tho force of the col lision threw Havemeyer from his seat to the track. tho front wheels of the car pass ing over him, mangling him in a terrible manner.
 A large and excited crowd gathered. All efforts to remove the body, which was wedged beneath the motor box. were un- availing until the railroad emergenIy y wagon arrived and the car was lifted from the tratk An ambulance surgeon was quickly summoned. but upon his arrival the young man was dead. Mahoney and CrOwell were arrested by Patrolman Byrnes of the Thirteenth precinct and held on a charge of homicide. There were Q dozen other accidents of A minor nature

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

If the city decides to illuminate the dIals of the town clock. 1t Is the intention ot the residents of this section to call up on the members of the district committee to have A similar work done on the clock in the Bank street school.
 The petition presented to the court of common council Monday night asking for grade on Riverside street from Washing ton avenue to Porter street is a move in the right direction. The street is one of the ol lest in that section and contains some handsome private residences. There are no sidewalks and in the winter season the place Is almost impossible.
 Not even the big snow storm of last night could deter the patrons of the kirmess from turning out in goodly num- bers, and considering the severity of the w rather the attendance was very good Some one must have given the employees of the American Ring Co hint about the delicious menu which was to be served, for enough of them managed to reach the Lyceum by six o'clock to keep the pretty table walters hustling for over an hour. Architect Smith and wife and Principal Devine of the Bank street school and a hungry newspaper man made great effort to Teach the dining room before the rush but they arrived there just in time to be headed of by an immense crowd who had planned an attack on the refreshmen room. But there was enough for all. To- night the bill of fare will consist of clam chowder al d tea, coffee, sauce. mashed po- tstoes fish cakes and various other appe- tlzing dishes So far the canvassers and booth teLders are all pleased with the success of the kirmess. Articles received last night were: A large illustrated volume entitled ''Columbian Exposition" from James Brennan, New Haven. and a big cake from Baker O'Briea. Tonight there will be special attractions including stage performance by the Dramatic club.
