A NEW GAS COMPANY.
Franchise Wanted by Light and Fuel
 Company

Phoenix will probably have another gas company soon. There is in the hands of the city council an ordinance prepared by Attorney c. F. Ainsworth granting a gas franchise to the Phoe- nix Light and Fuel company.
 Action will likely be taken on it at a special meeting of the council to be held next week. The franchise may be said to be already in existence. It was granted about six years ago to T. w. Hine and was practically unlimited as to the time when use should be made of it. When the city laws were codified last year the forgotten ordi- nance granting the franchise was dis covered and on the advice of City At torney Evans was repealed. In Jan uary of this year MT. Hine appeared at meeting of the city council, asked that it be reinstated, and it was done MT. Ainsworth says that the franchise of MT. Hine has been assigned to his clients and that the franchise asked for in his ordinance is intended to take the place of the old one and embraces very much the provisions of the or l iginal.
 The new franchise would give the city twenty gas jets free and furnish other lights at 75 per cent the regular ] rates.

A WESTERN VENICE.
4 More Marked Likeness of Arizona
 and Italy.

If Noah had been living in Phoenix yesterday morning he would have started run on the lumberyards by acquiring material for building an ark. He would not have gone about it with the deliberateneSs of purpose which marked his former preparation for a voyage. Phoenicians have been wont to call the Salt River valley the Italy of North America. Phoenix was the Venice of this western Italy yesterday morning. Her streets were canals, her crossings were lagoons. The ca nals were too aggravatingly shallow for navigation and too deep for wading. The Republican office occupied a mud dy island surrounded by muddy sea. Its only hope of communication with the mainland rested upon the tele- phone and a we'll disposed, but ill ad- vised horse which came along and tried to drink up the watery waste The attempt was abortive.

Lady Henrietta is not i'll. This absence is
so un-unforeseen."
Guess not" said Miss Putnam. "She
isn't ill. she never was better in her life;
but the Duchess thinks change will do
her world of good.''
Her Grace is very cruel" murmured the
curate.
81 beg your pardon?" said Claudia,
blandly.
II was about to say" resumed the curate,
turning to the expectant children, that as
her ladyship is unable to come this morning
you Will be deprived of the interesting OBJ
ject lesson she generally gives you. I'm
sure you will ell be very sorry"
''Oh, they ehan't miss their object lesson"
said Claudia, still more bandly. 'I've
promised Lady Henrietta to give it to them
for her,"
The curate had been in the habit of stay
ing for Lady Henrietta's object lesson
to keep order for her, he would have said, (
had the Duchess questioned him. So he
stayed to keep order for Claudia, which was
quite superfuous, for if her manner of ad-
ministering instruction was not Of nature
to keep the attention Of restless children,
there were her fascinating gown and her
pretty trinkets, not to speak Of the charm
of her face to hold her audience spellbound.

engagement will be broken off. III manage
it, you bet"
She wouldn't answer any questions. She
said she thought she understood the exact
he Of the land. They might leave it all to
her. So to her it was left, and the next
day Lady Henrietta was packed off to a
married cousin in South Wales
The following day, at Lady Henrietta's
customary hour, Miss Putnam walked into
the village schoolroom. She wore a dainty
blue cambria frock, which fitted her as no
frock in all Henrietta's lifetime had ever
fitted her. The little boys and girls opened
their eyes wide to look at her. so did the
schoolmistress, and so did Mr.. Gibson, the
curate, who was hearing the whole school
in its church catechism.
Good morning." said Miss Putnam,
sweetly. 81 am staying at the Towers. l
