THE ENTERTAINMENT.
A Large Crowd and a Splendid Pro
 gramme.

A large and enthusiastic audience attended the opera house las. nigh. to enjoy the very entertaining programme arranged lby the ladies of the Christian church.
 From start to finish the programme was encored. There were four tab leaux as follows: 1.-The Christian Graces," Wearing of hhe Green 3 of for the War" and 1.-The States
 Recitations were given by Misses Nellie Coyle, Lena Purdy, Clara Gal pin and Arthur Dysart. The c. c. quartette solos were especially good and enthusiastically applauded. Miss Isabella FNawcett made her first bow before a Phoenix audience and the young lady's solo demonstrates that she is 'uhe possessor of a remarkably sweet and cultured voice. The violin solo by MT. Spence was exceptionally good, and the piano solos by Miss Flora Cohn and Edith Cowden re ceived meriborious applause.
 It was indeed a most pleasing en- tertainment and all who participated are deserving of praise for ithe excel lent manner in which they acquitted themselves.

CAT THAT DRINKS.
Is a Confirmed Old Toper and Loves
 Beer.

There is dog in this city who is an hajbitual drunkard, but the canine has a rival in a cat belonging to a saloon keeper
 Tabby was taught to relish a mug of beer The saloon keeper poured beer in small quantities into a saucer of milk and gradually increased the DOT Ition of beer and decreased the amount of milk This was kept up daily until Tabby was drinking beer straight. The cat has now developed into regular old topper and if allowed will drink beer until unable to walk.
 It is almost a daily occurrence now ito see the cat staggering blindly around the saloon When Tabby thinks it's ltime for another drink she scratches the refrigerator with her claws to attract the attention of the bartender, and if that individual re fuses Ito give any more she will sulk off and will not return until in re- spectacle condition of sobriety.
 The other day the cat had a marrow escape from finding the grave ready for all drunkards. The bartender opened the refrigerator door and did not ob- serve Tabby sneak in. He closed the door and did not have occasion to open it for several hours. When he did so he recoiled at the sight of Tabby standing on her four legs and staring with wide open eyes that did not blink. She was taken out and found to be almost frozen solid. She could not move muscle and was to all ap- pearances dead. It took some time fo1 her Ito thaw, but she was given all the beer she could possibly drink to atone for the imprisonment in the ice box.

attention. and no address ever deliv- cred to the young people of Phoenix could have been better calculated to instruct or to inspire to lives of use fulness and nobility. In fifteen years the Epworth League has had a mar velous growth. From nothing it has come to be an army of 1,250, ,000. The power of young people when organized is shown by the fact that lthe war of the great rebellion was fought and the Nation saved by a soldiery whose av- craze age was less than twenty three.
 The ideal young Christian worker should be converted, should not be bigoted, should have church prefer ence, should a1dend young peoples ser vices, but if he cannot attend both he should prefer the church service. God did not institute tfhe organization o1 the Epwortlh League, but he did insti- tllte the Christian pulpit.

RALLY AIT LEHI.
Republicans Given an Enthusiastic
 Reception.

Last night a Republican ratification was held alt Lehi, large crowd at tending from this city. The people of that vicinity and the surrounding country turned out in force to assist in the ratification.
 The speakers were enthusiastically applauded whenever the name of Me kinley and good sound money, which means prosperity to the country, were mentioned. The arguments advanced by the speakers were telling ones and many who labored under the hallucina- tion that free silver was the only rem edy changed their opinions in the face of the truths presented to them.
 Lehi is undoubtedly in favor of Re publicanism and on elecition day will pile up handsome majority for the nominees of the grand old party.

 According to the Army and Navy Journal in 1876 Charles II granted to the Duke of Portland a pension of el9,GOO a year. in perpetuity. in lieu of duty of one shilling chaldron on all coals exported from the Tyne. Up to l799 the family had received as proceeds of the duty upward of e2,00O,O0O sterl- ing, and in July, 1799. the duty was commuted for an annual payment in perpetuity of 919.OO0 year from the Consolidated fund. As security for it's payment consols to the value of e6 B. 333 Ga. 9d. were purchased. In the fol- lowing year e4S5, ASA As. I'd. worth Of these consols were sold, and the pro- ceeds invested in land, and during the present reign the remainder of the con- sols was sold and the proceeds similarly invested. J Taking the annual payment on ac- count of pensions at the present time, Earl Nelson is in receipt of the highest, outside the royal annuities, viz, e5O0C per annum. payable in perpetuity to all and every one of the heirs male to whom the title of Earl Nelson shall descend The Duke of Wellington's s annual pen

snowballs Rolled by the Wind.

Passengers on the Flint River divi- sion of the Flint 6 Pere Marquette rail- road who came to Flint, Mich, recently reported observing strange phenom- enon in large, level fields not far from the city, says the Chicago Tribune Hundreds of snowballs, some of them. of colossal size, have been rolled to- gether, it is thought, by the action of the wind. The fields were covered with them, and nature accomplished in one night what it would take a large force of boys several days to do.

PAID ONE AT A TIME.
Pennies Not Legal Tender in Amounts Of
 More Than Twenty-Five Cents.

Pennies Not Legal Tender in Amounts of
 More Than Twenty-Five Cents.
 There is postmaster in little town not far distant, who is noted for the amount of authority he is inclined to show in trivial matters. A short time ago, says the Mount Morris (Mich.) Union, business man of the place ap- peared before the stamp window of the office and demanded 300 one-cent stamps, for which he laid down an equal number of pennies. Here was good chance for the authoritative gentleman, and with view of teaching his impor- tance, he picked 25 pennies from the heap, handed out 25 stamps and showed the rest of the money to the would-be buyer with the remark that pennies were not legal tender there in amounts of more than 25 cents.
 Expostulation was in vain, the post master cited the law in the case and that seemed to settle it. With a malicious gleam in his eye the buyer swept the re- maining pennies into his pocket and mildly inquired: q suppose can get a one-cent stamp here for penny, can't I?" Certainly" ssia the man at the window. "Then give me one-cent stamp" said the other laying down the money. It was handed to him, and he demanded another and another after that. Several people had come in in the meantime, and were impatiently wait ing their turn at the window, but the obdurate buyer kept on gravely buying one-cent stamps on the installment plan. Seeing determination in the face of the other, the postmaster offered te arbitrate, but it was of no avail. He continued to buy as long as his money lasted, and triumphantly departed amidst the approving smiles of thu l crowd. <,

Won't Work There,

It is an odd fact that the telegraph lines will not work through the Hoosac tunnel. Messages have to be sent on wires strung on poles over the top of the mountains, fully nine miles, and that is the way ingoing and outcoming passenger and freight trains are her aided to the keepers of the two tunnel approaches. In order to maintain this overland mountain line a swath of woodland has to be kept clear of trees and bushes directly up the steep noun tain side. There are supposed to be magnetic ores inside the mountain. .

FOOD FOR SOLDIERS.
Figures to Show That Plenty of Ra-
 tions Is Indispensable.

A officer of the United States army has recently compiled some interesting figures on the food allowance made to the soldiery of different nations, and argues that the better the rations, it naturally follows, the better the fight. CTS.
 For instance, the case of the victorious Japs in the recent Chinese-Japanese war IS cited. The Chinese troops sub. sisted mainly on rice, together with what they could pilfer. while the Jap anese soldiers had rice, timed and fresh meats, fish and vegetables. The meat allowance of Japanese soldier is seven ounces. The Russian standard is Is ounces, the English 12, the Italian II, French, Belgian, Turkish and German, 9; Austrian and Spanish, 8. The al- lowance to the soldiers of the United States is higher than any of tbe others, and is twenty ounces.
 The daily allowance of bread is high. est among the Austrian troops, who re- ceive thirty-two ounces, and the lowest is the English army, wherA each man is allowed sixteen ounces. In the United states army, the French army, and the Italian army the allowance is twenty. two ounces. In the t+erman army it is twenty eight; in the Russian. seven en. All modern soldiers, ex ept the Russians, have daily allowance ofrice The American army is the only one 1T the commissariat of which beans are al article of diet.

AFTER THE ARMADA.
The Combination of Trade and Private
 War Under Elizabeth.

The Combination of Trade and Private
 War Under Elizabeth.
 The defeat of the Armada inspired England with energy and hope. Our people, says Blackwoods Magazine, be- came busy traders. Flemish traders had been ruined by war, Flemish refu- gees had flocked into England, and Antwerp, the great port for new world commerce, had been sacked and taken. England succeeded to the trade of which the Dutch had been deprived. Beyond the ocean lay vast world of wealth, of which Spain, united with Portugal, claimed the monopoly, thereby eXclud- ing English commerce from the larger half of the planet. Systematic vio- lence-that is, the combination of trade with private war-was the only mode in which this monopoly could be att tackled.
 Elizabeth connived at this covert mar itime war both before and after the Armada, and the struggles between Eng lish traders and Spanish monopolists were far too numerous and important to admit of peace between the two goy- ernments. It was this spirit of com mercial adventure, whether it be called piracy or heroic attempt to rescue the new world from the inquisition and 1 give it back to the free use of the human race, which was the first step in the de- velopment of three colossal growths- British trade, British empire, the Brit ish navy.

The successful horse-dealer is never at loss. Witness the following incident from an exchange: A young English man was negotiating with dealer for a horse. The horseman expatiated on the many good points of the animal under discussion.
 Tt seems to me, MT. Muggins," re- marked the young man, 'that the horse has rather big head"
 The retort came at once: Big 'ead, big 'ead, do you call it? Why, look at Gladstone; what 'ead 'e's got!''

ENEMIES OF ENGLAND. #
Great Britain Has Fought and Conquered
 Three Great Potentates.

Great Britain Has Fought and Conquered
 Three Great Potentates.
 The three greatest potentates of mod ern times have been England's strenu- ous antagonists-viz, Philip H., Louis XIV. and Napoleon. Of these three Ma poleon was the most powerful, says Rlackwood's Magazine, Philip the most deadly. The leaders under whom the English rallied against these world-fa- nous monarchs were, first, Elizabeth and Drake; second, William and Marl borough; Third, Pitt and Nelson. The result of the first of these great his toric duels was to overturn the founda- tions of Spanish empire, with its do~ minion over the seas, its vast colonial possessions, it's claim under papai bull to an exclusive monopoly of the new world. The result of the second was to decide which should be the residuary legatee of the deceased Spanish power, France or England; giving in the end the succession to it's old world domin- ions to France, it's trade, maritime su- premacy and colonies mainly to Eng lanC-.
 The result of the third was to shat ter Napoleon's hopes of ascendancy by sea, and to force him back on European conquests, upon projects which related to the old world and not to the new. Pitt ard Nelson G;d not disc appear uIi- til that end was attained and i-Egland' S part in the later wars of Napoleon was that, having, as Pitt said in almost his closing words, saved herself by her energy she saved Europe by her eN- ample and assistance.

wage-earners class feeling. and some people nave
doubtless had SOME apprehension lest Election
Day should reveal that the attempt had peeh

are largely wage-carners there Is no such star

elsewhere. If the workingmcn are going to vote

ment which. II has been proclaimed. was to cut
down the Republican vote. 1t is hardly reason-
oble if it exists. that it should not show itself
in the small cities by some falling off AT least IN
the registration. Experience teaches that where
one man leaves his party and votes for the OPP
positon there is another who will stay mt home.
If in Republican communities many voters shoui"

The encouragement offered by this sentiment

THE REGISTRATION.

The result Of the first two days OF registration
IN the cities Of this State Is highly encouraging
10 the sound-money cause. The same story
comes from every quarter. The people are
aroused. and with unprecedented activity are
preparing TO vote. The first days record in this
city outran all expectation. The voters OF Brook
lyn were equally prompt In attending to the duty
of registration. The report from Rochester Is
that the names Of known Republicans recorded
outnumber those Of all other parties combined.
Bnghamton doubles Its first days registration
from 1892, Poughkeeps!e does almost rs well.
Troy and Syracuse report the largest roll ever
made on the first day. and the smaller cities with
few exceptions show gratifying increase.
1t may be asked why a large registration
should be thought more favorable to Mckinley
than to Bryan. The answer will be found In an
ANALYSIS OF the figures and study of the po-

SPEAKER REED IN NEW-JERSEY.

AS Thomas g. Reed had time to make only
one speech in New-Jcrscy. it was most APP
propriate that Morristown should he singled
ont for the honor. When this country was
trembling on the threshold of life il was on
the heights above Morristown that the beacon
fire and signal gun were stationed to warn
patriots and call them to arms when the
enemy approachcd. So now. In this great bat
tie for the Nations honor and prosperity, the
warning cry went out from Morristown calling
upon all true Jerscymen to protect their STATE
and help revive the industries that are pnisied
nv the fear of reckless, selfish and unpaTlotic
legislation.
But there was another reason why Mr.. Reed
went to n small city like MorristOwn instead
of selecting Newark or some other city, where
he could be sure Of an audience of 10000.
Morristown is the central point In the WITH
Congress District, and this district Is the only
one in New-Jerscy where the freesilver heresy
has made any substantial Roadway. Ordinarily
1t used to be reckoned as being Democratic by
1000 or T. OOO but Mahlon Pitney won the seat
two years ago by plurality of 1,4O1. In Con-
gress Mr.. Pitney attracted the favorable notice
of Speaker Reed and the big-hearted Maine
statesman promptly offered his services when
he heard that his young friend was In danger.
Mr. Reeds speech was such a simple. logical
and lucid presentation of the financial problem
