The Irrigation Congress
 Preparations.
Organization of the Local
 Committee.
Walter Talbot Chosen as Chairman and James McMillan as
 Secretary.

Yesterday afternoon at the office pf Thos Armstrong, Jr., the local cam- paign for the reception of the next ff- rigation congress was fairly put under way. The local committee consists of the following named gentlemen: Will ter Talbot, B. Heyman, J. w. Evans, H. H. Logan, M. H. McCord, Thos. Armstrong, Jr, President L.. H. Good rich of the chamber of commerce, Mayor J. D. Monihon, District AttOr- ney Jerry Mi1lay, c. H. Honshell, Geo. M. Sargent, Jas. H. McClintock, Jas .C. Goodwin of Tempe, C. R. flakes and Dr. A. J. Chandler of Mesa, the last named being added to fill the place of George Woodford, deceased.
 A quorum was present and organi- zation was effected by the election of the following named as officers: Chair man, Walter Talbot; secretary, James McMillan; treasurer, B. Heyman. A committee on publicity was op- pointed by the chair, consisting of the secretary and Messrs. Armstrong and McC Clintock. To this committee is given the first and most important work of all, the advertising of the ses-
 
 Phoenix will be brought thousands of excursionists next winter
 Letters received by Jas. H. Me Clintock, the National committeeman for. Arizona, indicate that the states of South Dakota, Nebraska and Kan 1 sas will furnish vast number of ex- cursionists, brought less to attend the congress than to take the advantage | of cut railroad rates to see the far famed valley of the southwest. Those best qualified to estimate believe that not less than 2,000 strangers will spend the week of the session in Phoenix, drawn by the low rates and attractions. The session will probably begin De- cember 8, to continue four days. The programme will be in the hands of the National executive committee, which meets in Denver July g, and to which Committeeman McClintock will per- sonally report whatever action may be before that date taken by the local committee and by the citizens. l The session it is believed will con- stitute the greatest advertisement ever had by this valley and by Phoenix and it's meeting will be attended by min imum expense, considering even the immediate returns received. The class that will come will be Of the very ele- ment needed most to develop the re- zion and to furnish the capital for dormant irrigation enterprises
 An associate body that will meet at the same time as the congress will be the American Society of Irrigation Engineers, comprising the men most skilled and best known to the engineer ing world, whose investigations will assuredly be of vast benefit to local enterprises.
 It is suggested that the sessions of the congress be so arranged that, the afternoons may be given over to sight seeing and excursions both by rail and by carriage. It will be attempted to make the proceedings Of the most ia- tensely business-like and snapDy char acter and from the session it i5 antici- pated will follow results of the highest
 value to the irrigated regions Of the west

FORT SCOTT, Kan, June 26-About midnight Rev. A. Cornish, pastor of the United Brethren church, one of the largest churches in this city, was walking by a fence when some one sprang out from the weeds about twelve feet away and shot bullet through his hat, just missing his head.

Her Silver Table.
From the Chicago News.


The girl or woman who wants a really
interesting fad is getting UP a silver ta-
BILE for her drawing room or boudoir. The
table itself may be of anything the hand
soonest being of buhl or marqueterie with
a glass top. On these tables are display-
ed as many silver curios as is possible
to collect.
The first thing on the table must be
a silver lamp, preferably a Roman or
Grecian antique. Candlesticks are not ad-
mftted unless they are very tiny Pho
tograph frames of rich repousse work
are allowed, but the pictures they contain
must be very handsome.
Spoons of every conceivable shape and
all kinds of ornamentations are the next
thing and the foreign travellers have the
advantage here. The StrasDurg Cathed-
raj in all its enormity is delcately re-
produced on one of these spoons; a
minute spoon has the falls of Rhine on
it and an etching of a castle on the
back
Little silver sofas, chairs, mirrors, wind
mills and what-not may be grouped to-
gether on one corner of the table; rich
" embossed silver boxes sometimes big
enough 10 hold cigarettes stand near; a
miniature Russian sleigh with tassels and
laprobes and q driver scarcely discernible
holding the relns over horses not larger
than mosquitoes is another coveted Gu

SNAKES IN A FIRE.
An ObIiging Stranger Helped to Sc
cure Them and Had Narrow
Escape.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Chicago, April "a fire which bore a
very threatening aspect for time and
created a panic broke out this afternoon
in a Clark street dime museum. At least
a thousand persons were in the two small
theaters in the building. The people at
once made a rush for the doors. The
stage manager, Charles Bell, urged the
people to be calm.
The widest confusion prevailed among
the freaks and stage performers, but all
escaped without injury, many of the ac>
tors running into the streets in their stage
attire.
On the third floor, in a collection or
snakes, was boa constructor, twenty feet
in length female snake charmer haG
charge of the reptiles, and when the fire
broke out she attempted to place them
in a box.
Calling for assistance, a stranger climb
ed into the cage and offered to help her
capture the snakes. He picked the largest
one up by the neck, and no sooner
had he done so than the snake, recogniz-
ing 1t was in the hands of a stranger
coiled its huge form about the mans arm
The snake-charmer, realizing the man.
danger, told him to keep a firm grip on
the snakes neck. A terrific struggle then
ensued, but by the combined efforts of
the snake charmer and the obligine
stranger the boa constructor was finally
damned into big box and secured. The
remainder of the snakes were easily res
cued. The blaze was soon extinguished
