"Temptatinns,n

Yale's "Twelve Temptations"
company presented this extrava-
ganza specially production at the
Opera house last night to a very
fair audience and seemed to please
the patrons Of the house, particu-
larly those in the upper part. The
scenery and costumes are pretty,
the dancing and the specialties are
many Of them very fine, but the
public has seen "Devil's Auction"
by the same management and the
comparison is unfavorable to the
latest company.

\hJith a better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
fo~rts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which, it acts. Its therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur.
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
II afflicted with any actual disease, n
may be commended to the most skillful

ARiZOKA'S PROTEST.
Citizens DepIore the Passage of the School
Lands Bill Over Mr. cieve-
lands. Veto.

PHOENIX, ARIz., March 2.-Excitement
prevails in the Salt River Valley because
of the action of the lower house of Con-
gress in passing the bill providing for the
leasing of school lands over the President s
veto.
They fear the Senate will do likewise.
The people were assured that the Presi-
dent would veto the bill when it passed
Congress and confidently believed that
would be the end of it, but when the lower
house of Congress took the bill up and
passed it over Mr.. Cleveland's head it
stirred up hornets nest.
The sentiment of large majority of the
people of Arizona, regardless of party, is
against this bill. They feel that the dan
ger of its passing the Senate is imminent
Telegrams were sent to Senators known
by local citizens; petitions against the
passage of the bill were circulated meet
ing was called, and a general demonstra-
ton made against the bill. The objec-
tions to the bill are as follows:
First-It gives the Governor, Secretary
of State and the Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction too much power.
Secondhand companies in the north
ern part of the Territory will secure the
leases; then the timber will be cut off and
the land become worthless.
Third -Ranchmen on school lands be-
lieve no compensation will be paid them
for Improvements.
egate Murphy should state to Congress, as
he is reported to have done, that this bill
was opposed by no one except those set
tied on school lands. Practically eve ry
one except those expecting to be benefit ed
by the bill are opposed to it.

SAN DIEGO MUD-sWEPT.
Fears for the Safety of Guano Schoomers
at Sea.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, March 2. The
weather the past two days has been sur
prise to the proverbiaI oldest inhabitant.
The streets were full of dust all day. and
tonight the first rain for several weeks be-
gan to fall in good volume, breaking the
drought and insuring heavy crops.
The highest velocity of the wind last
night was twenty miles, and the same
velocity was reached tonight. This is
quite heavy for San Diego, and means that
a gale is raging outside. The roar of the
ocean is tremendous, and big sea is run
ming.
Fears are entertained for the safety of
several small guano schooners. which are
due from the lower coast. Almost every
year at this time vessels are lost to the
southwark.
The steamer Bonita sailed at II o'clock
this morning with the disabled steamer
Willamette Valley in tow, and in spite of the
fact that tremendous sea was encountered
as soon as the bar was crossed the steamers
stayed with it and passed around Point
Iona on their dangerous trip up the coast.
They have had the advantage all day of
favorable winds, and, with fore and aft
sails spread, they will make good time
toward San Francisco.
No great damage has been caused yet by
the storm, though numerous small craft
have gone adrift on the bay and mixed
things trifie.

ARTIFICIAL REFRIGERATION.
Carbonic Acid for This Purpose I.
Largely Used in Europe.

In the past few years carbonic hydride,
or carbonic acid, as it is usually called, has
forged rapidly to the front as refrigerant
throughout Europe. Hitherto mechanical
difficulties have prevented its adoption,
but these have been entirely overcome,
and now over 500 machines are in use and
giving entire satisfaction. This is the
more noteworthy as it has made especial
strides in Germany, the birthplace of me-
chanicai refrigeration. Fuel there is
very expensive item, and only the most
economical devices are adopted Com
pound and triple expansion engines. with
condensers, are used largely, and the same
economy is practiced in the selection OF
ice and refrigerating machines.
Recently manufacturers of the carbonic
acid machine obtained contract. in open
competition with all the best ammonia
machine manufacturers, for the refrigerat.
ing plant in the city slaughter house in
Carlsruhe, because their guarantee as to
the amount of power and cooling water
was better than any other. In the official

Complete Destruction of the Mono County
Piftdge.


Viitage.
CARSON, New, March 2.-During a ter
rible wind and snow storm Yesterday
Coleville, in Mono County, CAL, was de-
stroyed by fire. Every building in the
town, except blacksmith-shop and de-
serted dwelling, was wiped out. Coleville
was small mountain town in the Ante
lope Valley. and was the center of supplies
for the ranchers ana miners. 1t had re-
Gently been made station for the Bodie
and Bridgeport road, The loss by the
conhagration amounts to $1,000, with
only $4,000 insurance.
The fire originated in the kitchen of the
Barnett Hotel, and the occupants barely
escaped with their lives. The hall and
store adjoining were burned before any,
thing could be removed. Mr.. Barnett, the
principal owner in the town, conducted a
livery stable, and the halters on the horses
had to be cut and the animals driven out
through the flames in order to save them.
in the entire town little was saved but
the clothes on the peoples backs. Great
hardship has followed, as a severe snow
storm has been raging for the past twenty
four hours, and the snow has rendered the
roads almost impossible. Kirman e.
Hickey, the "cattle kings" have ranch
near by. and they have lent all the assist
ance possible.
The fire started between and o'clock
in the afternoon, and in less than half an
hour the village was in ashes. 1t is doubt
full if the town will be rebuilt.
As there is no telegraphic connection
with the town but meager particulars
have been received, and the late severe
storm has cut off all travel by private con-
veyance.

WANT A CAR SERVICE.
Ashbury Heights Property-Owners Dis
cuss the High Handed and Illegal
Policy of Vining.

The Ashbury Heights improvement
Club met last night at 137 Carl street, with
George a. Rankin in the chair.
The committee OF three on sidewalks on
Cole street was discharged and a commit
tee of five was appointed on sidewalks in
the whole district, as follows: F. W. NJ.
Lange. D. L. Westover, W. B. Walkup, E.
NJ. Fritz and r. D. Cranston. The chair
man reported that the suit against the
railroad company for the forfeiture Of the
Carl-street franchise was in the same stage
as at the last meeting of the club. The
court allowed thirty days time, which
will expire March 30, and no further time
will be granted except on demurrer or
some other species of the claws delay"
and meanwhile the service on Carl street
continues a la Vining, which everybody
in San Francisco understands to mean
probably little in the morning, less in
the evening and none at all by midday.
The committee went before the Super
yisors when the franchise for bits OF
streets, though in reality for the Metro
politan street road, was discussed. The
board promised TO consider the protest
from the property-owners in Ashbury
Heights but Immediately after took up
The matter and acted favorably toward the
railway people. The franchise as re-
auested is for a line from Ellis and Market
to Mason. Then there IS jump to HYDE,
and the line continues from Ellis to O'Far-
rell and out to Scott, thence to Page to the
Park. The Carl-street branch. however, is
not considered. The application is so
worded that nobody except the Market
street Company can bid for the franchise.
The Hydrant Committee reported that
Chief Sullivan of the Fire Department
promised to provide mains and fireplugs
throughout the district.
After the meeting adjourned there was
an informal talk about the streetcar lack
of service over the line on Carl street.
Mr.. Winnings idea of economy is 10 run
cars there in the morning till $50 o'clock.
and then put them into the carhouse. At
5p.M. be takes them out for exercise and
gives them occasional runs over the road,
Regardless of the legal contract made by
the railroad company with the representa-
tives of the people that cars shall run at
least every fifteen minutes. Suits at law
to compel the company to run every III
teen minutes were suggested, anu the pre-
yailing sentiment was in favor OF calling
the company to account in the courts.

State University Glee and Mandolin
Clubs at the Auditorium.
The glee and mandolin clubs OF the State
University gave highly successful con-
cert at the Auditorium, corner OF Eddy

large and appreciative audience present.
Several hundred seats were occupied by
memb bers of the university notwithstand-

by the two clubs Fred s. knight '9S sang
"The Quaker" The Glee Club effectively
rendered the sad story of Little Tommy"
following with "Willie Had Purple Mon

Reed sang Norwegian song from Loge
most effectively. Her second programme
number was lullaby, in which she was

Is per cent less power and cooling water
was required than has been guaranteed.
Besides its economical action it has adj
vantages over ammonia and other refriger-
ants now in use. It's boiling point at at
mospheric pressure is 10S degrees below
zero, F., so that G. most intense cold can be
produced by its use. L is commercial
commodity, largely used in the universal
soda water fountains and is easily obtained
at one-third the cost OF ammonia.
1t is odorleSs and non-corroslve. 10
those familiar with the corrosive effects
of ammonia this latter advantage speaks
with all the more force. Brass, copper
and other materials can be used in the con-
struction of the carbonic acid machine.
In the event of the escape of gas no
serious damage can occur, as in the case
OF ammonia. The experiment OF allow
ing the entire charge to escape into the
englne-room has been tried, without
affecting in any way the engineers or
Others in the building. This makes the
machine especially adapted for marine
service and for use in hotels, where an
escape would be especially harmful, As
carbonic acid is component of beer it is
machine for the brewery. In the event of
any escape, beer would be improved, if
anything, while there can be no question
of the deleterious effects of ammonia on
beer.
Brewers can collect carbonic acid arising
from their fermenting tubs, compress it,
carbonate their entire product and also use
portion to refrigerate their plants. Asit
has q preservative effect on meats, it is also
the refrigerator for packers and cold-stor-
age men. With ammonia meat would be
blackened and spoiled in the event of a
leak. In the event of fire carbonic acid
also has the advantage over ammonia. The
latter tends to extinguish an incipient
blaze, but with high temperatures becomes
an explosive. Carbonic acid will act as an
extinguisher at any temperature. Car
bonic acid is a much deuser gas than am
monia, so that in spite of the higher pres
sure there is really less danger of an escape.
The machine itself is of the compressive
order, consisting merely of a compressor,
condenser and refrigerator. 1t has no oil
pump. oil separator or oil cooler to compile
cate it. As the cylinder volume required
is very much less than with ammonies
the cylinders can be made much smaller
and the whole machine more compact. AS
the parts are all small. it is no easy matter
to design them so as to stand the high
pressure required. AS the diameter of the
cylinder is less there is less friction and
less power required. Although there are
few machines of this type in America in
operation they have not been largely intro
duced. A company, with works and Office
located at Johnstown, Pa, has been re-
Gently formed, and will push the manufac-
ture of the machines.

very interesting and instructive lecture on
Bacteria and the Dairy"
He SAID that many kinds OF mlcrooes
that find their way into milk are harmless,
because human beings take them IN
ternally and do not suffer any evil effects.
He explained that the harmful bacteria may
come from cow having tuberculosis or
may come the use of impure water used IN
washing cans. In one drop of water there
may be an uncountable number OF the
microbes, each of which has the power TO
multiply at the rate of 100000 III
twenty four hours.

and cows. He told of the various ways In
which the cows contract this disease.
