NORTHERN ARIZONA CATTLE.
Water Holes Dry and the Stock Dying
 Off.

Winslow Mail: The Mail is in- formed on good authority that he banks of the Little Colorado and the sloughs emptying into it are literally lined with dead cattle. They are so thin and weak they are unable to turn around after drinking and die with their heads to the middle of the stream. Many cattle are too weak to be driven to the mountains where there is grass.
 Colin Campbell came in Wednesday morning from his mountain ranch for camp supplies. He reports the coun- try as very dry and feed for stock shorter than ever known before. And says further that unless rain comes soon the loss in cattle will be unprece- dentedly heavy.
 Rain is badly needed in this section. Water holes that have heretofore been permanent are drying up. Cattle and sheep are now solely dependent on the thre living streams Colorado, Clear creek and Chevelon for their drinking water

OLD LIGHTHOUSE.
Was Built by the Romans and Is Still in
 Good Condition.


 The oldest house existing in Eng land is the Roman Pharos or lighthouse, which still forms so conspicuous an ob- ject on the cliffs within the precincts of Dover castle. The masonry of this interesting work is composed of tufa, cement and Roman bricks, or tiles, and is in the best style of Roman workman. ship. History and tradition are alike silent as to the actual date of it's erec- tion, but, judging from the style of masonry, and bearing in mind that the erection of such beacon would be a practical necessity when once the Ro- mans had thoroughly established them selves in southern Britain, one may fairly ascribe it to date not much later than the middle of the first century, A. D., following on the expedition of Clau- dius, and the succeeding conquests of Plautius, who brought most of the island south of the Thames under the Roman domination. To the upper part of this lighthouse was added in Tudor times an octagonal superstructure, still remaining, although in a sadly bat tered condition. The remains of lal, dwellings, such as have been found al Burton Mere, in Suffolk, and near Glas tonbury, in Somerset, are supposed by some to date back so far as 1900 B. C.; but, although these are built on piles, they hardly come within the meaning of the question.

MONKEY LIGHTS MATCHES.
But Has Not the Intelligence to Kindle
 Fire with Them.

Fire with Them.
 No creature but man has ever made use of fire. An African traveller, indeed. has told story of apes making a thiev- ing raid on a camp of natives, and car rying torches to light their way; but this story lacks proof, and is not ac- cepted as true by zoologists.
 There is, however, says the Youths Companion, in the Philadelphia zoologi- cal garden monkey who has learned to scratch matches perfectly well. This accomplishment he is willing to exhibit on any occasion. He has learned to hold the match by it's middle part, so that his fingers are not burned by being too near the flame, and so that the match will not break by being held too near the other end.
 This fact involves another, that he is aware which end has the sulphur, and does not attempt tc scratch the unsul- blurred end. He has furthermore learned that a rough surface is better to scratch the match on than a smooth one, and his care in looking for the rough places is very diverting..
 But with all these. intelligences, the monkey has no notion of kindling an- other fire with the one that he has caused by the friction of the match. He simply lets the match burn out, and if he lights another, does it for the pleas ure of seeing it burn.
 This monkeys keepers, and the men of science who are experimenting with his intelligence, hope to communicate to him eventually an idea of fire making and using; but from the moment they succeed in doing so-if they ever do sue ceed-it will be necessary to keep matches out of his reach. /

Cash" is mighty in these days of business depressions, and those who are fortunate enough to have few dollars in ready money on hand find themselves able to accomplish won ders. Merchants in past days have carried heavy stocks of goods and op- erated extensively on small capital, as the customers were to be relied up on at all times for prompt payment of bills, and the manufacturers and job bers were very lenient with the deal CTS. Things have changed, though, in the past few years, one big dollar in cash will do more than five on credit. The Alkire company is one of the Phoenix firms that has taken advan- tage of the depressed state in the east and commenced in the early spring buying large consignments on strict ly cash basis. In this way they have been able to dispose of larger amount of goods than ever before in their bus mess career. They certainly have shipped more goods to Phoenix than any retail dealer and the daily sales are enormous Of course they are able to make better prices than any competition from these two facts that they buy for cash and buy in large. quantities. The free gift sale con- menced yesterday and will continue until July 15.

WHY ENGLAND IS GREAT.

 Naval Superiority.

A Native Offers an Explanation-Britain's
 Naval Superiority.
 How was it that falf an island over which Queen Elizabeth ruled developed into the worldwide empire over which Queen Victoria reigns? First and fore most, says Blackwood's Magazine, it must be referred to the qualities of the race, their energy and adventurous spirit, their capacity to colonize, to rule subject races, and to administer their affairs. That race was sprung of sue cessive seafaring invoders of these is lands who were trained for generations in the arduous defense of these shores, and taught to achieve naval superior ity as necessity of their position.
 As early as Edward III. the sover eighty of the narrow seas was asserted, and conceded as a matter of course by the people of the low countries. As centuries rolled on, the insularity of our position became more marked as our possessions, in Europe dwindled away. The drill sergeant, who is the artificer of German fortunes. has had no ascendency in these islands, whose preoccupations have not risen from mil titary empires on their boundaries Naval superiority has been the guarantee of our shores. and at the same time the foundation of an empire which has grown up beyond the seas. The same qualities which achieved ordered liberty at home spread commerce, settlements and empires abroad.

DESTRUCTIVE LIGHTNING,
Strokes That Have Resulted in Enormou
 Loss of Life.


 Loss of Life.
 The most destructive strokes of light ming have been those which have caused explosions. There have been several notable instances of accidents of this kind. Thus, on August IS, 1869, says the Bangor Commercial, the tower of St. Nazaire, at Brescia, was struck by lightning. In large vault beneath the tower lay an immense quantity of gun powder. This immediately exploded; sixth part of the whole city of BrescIa was destroyed, while not single builu- ing escaped damage. The stones of the tower were flung up into the air and carried by the force of the eX- plosion to immense distances. The num- Der of persons killed was 3,000 In an- other case, the fortress of Luxemburg in which again there was stored great quantity of gunpowder, was struck by lightning. The explosion that followed reduced the whole of the lower town to heap of ruins. In this instance, some of the stones composing the fort ress were hurled to distance of close on three miles. Again, in November. 1856, the church of St. John, in the Island of Rhodes, which was used as q powder magazine, which struck in the same way. The church and the houses in the neighborhod were destroyed, and more than 200 dead bodies were discov- cred among the debris.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 12.-The Times
tomorrow morning will say:
Some of the English stockholders OF the
Central Pacific Railroad have Joined in
public manifestation of dissatisfaction
with the existing condition of affairs.
They are displeased with G. P. Hunting
toms management and particularly dis
pleased with the arrangement that he
made with representatives OF the British
interest two years ago for the payment OF
dividends. This dividend agreement was
put in the form of a contract, and 1t pro-
vides that a dividend of one-half OF per
cent on the Central Pacific stock shall be
paid in January and July until a satisfac-
tory adjustment OF the company's debt to
the United States Government is reached.
After such adjustment the dividend rate
is to be increased to 2 per cent per annum
for a guaranteed period of two years.
A circular, signed by w. Morehead OF
London and F. G. Longton of Liverpool,
has reached this city, in which the dissat-
isfied stockholders say: This dividend
is only half of that which was found suffi-
cient to quell the English agitation In
1888. So matters rest for the present.
but facts have recently come to light in
connection with the inner history of the
company during the past two years, which,
in our judgment, seriously affect and i'm
peril the interests of the English share

vened in London, when a statement of

SR San Francisco.

Count ron BdHesfrem's Strange Career
iR San Francisco.
Count Wolfgang Won Ballestrem was
quite well-kuown In the Mission district,
where, at the corner of Sixteenth street. he
prospered as a popular bootblack and
house whitewasher.
Eight months ago Won Ballestrem joined
the Mission Turn Verein, just prior to his
departure for the south. With him he
took demit card emitting him to join
another Turn Verein wherever he might
choose to locate.
The question of Won Ballestrem's death
was the topic of conversation at the hall of
the Mission Turn Verein last night. No
one knew the man intimately, but every
body knew HIM in a general way.
He was known as free and .big-hearted
fellow who received periodical remittances
from his family in Europe, which money
he promptly proceeded TO squander il
drink.
He did little scenic painting for the
Tivoli, and when his unreliable and fret
full spirit caused him to lose his position
there, be wandered over to San Pablo.
There he became acquainted with a
Spanish woman of some means, married
her, and after squandering her money he
left her with their three little children.
AT one time during his early career in
this country Count Won Ballestrem served
as a private soldier in the United States
army. having enlisted at the Presidio.
A German paper publishes statement
to the effect that the Count was once a
lieutenant in the German army. Certain
swindling operations caused him to leave
his home about fifteen years ago and come
to this country.

SECRECY IS STAMPED OUT
Delegates to The Typographical
Convention Sworn to Sup.
press the Wahnetas.
It Is Now Believed That Nothing
Further Will Be Heard of the
Objectionable Order.

COLORADO SPRINGS, CoLo., Oct. 12.--
The forty-third session of the Typograph-
lcal Union convened in biennial session
in this city this morning. There is an
attendance of 200 delegates. representing
every section of the country. President
Prescott presided, and selected minor off,
cials from among Colorado Springs print
ers. Committees were appointed on va-
rious lines of business.
Delegate Eugene F. O'Rourke of New
York arose at the opening and declared
that he had positive proof that there is in
existence in the union secret body known
as the Wahnetas, and which is the old
Brotherhood revived. This Brotherhood
was started many years ago, and had as
its object the controlling of work in the
various cities, discriminating against those
not members. 1t was thought to have
been stamped out many years ago.
Delegate O'Rourke presented resolu-
tion requiring that every officer and dele
gate in the body be required to take an
ironclad oath that from that time forth he
would not belong to any body which
sought to control the legislation of the
union and that he would use all his
power to break up any such league.
Every delegate took the oath and then
the ex-delegates present took it. Many OF
those who took it are known to have been
active workers in the secret order. 1t is
believed by the delegates that it is now
fully stamped out. A resolution calling
for n committee to report on shorter
hour system was introduced. A half day
was spent in business and the afternoon
was taken up in drive to the Garden OF
the Gods, Manitou Springs and other
sce1ic points
