WHERE WE ARE AT?

1t was the Hon. BILLY KNIGHT who the
other night referred TO the Hon. HAzEN
5. PINGREE as "the THOMAS A. DOYLE,
OF Detroit" and q little later referred TO
the Hon. EDWIN ID. McGUINNEss as the
"PINGREE OF Providence"
If We trace these references hack we
are likely to fine out where we are at.
Thus:
Proposition I. PINaREE is the DOYLE
of Detroit.
Proposition 2. McGUINNEss is the
PINGREE of Providence.
Ergo -MCGUINNEss is another DOYLE.
This may be called the ~reductio ad alb
surdum.
The statue on the pedestal up at Cathedral
square is said to have smiled grimly at
the observation about ''the THOMAS A.
DOYLE of Detroit.n But IL 1t ever discov-
ers that by any process of deduction our
new Mayor is already hailed as another
THOMAS A. DOYLE, that statue is likely
to fall off its perch in a burst Of merri-
ment.
We wonder, by the way, IL Detroit has
any BILLY KNIGHTS?

ST. PAUL AND CAMPANIA.

The popular impression that TO the fact
that the American liner st. Paul and the
Cunarder Campania were racing is due
the grounding OF the former early Satur-
day morning will not be easy to dispeI,
although the misfortune seems not to
have been due to hat at all.
The ectual racing ended with the shut
ting in OF the fog Friday evening, and
thereafter, while each steamer was
doubtless trying TO sneak ahead OF
the other into port, neither was 60
ing at anything but a very slow
rate OF speed. Both, however, bad fallen
of the course fully ten miles TO the south,
put this was not at all due 10 the fact
that they had been racing. II was a case
of dead reckoning and the reckoning was
adritt, but II Is not conceivable that the
excitement of the respective masters over
the race is responsible for this. The re-
suit, however. was the nose Of the st.
Paul was pointed at the iron pier. Long
Branch, instead OF the channel, north Of
Sandy Hook, and she went ahore, while
a similar accident to the %Campania was
norrowly escaped.
II is believed that currents which seem
never to hvae been adequately accounted
for were responsible for sweeping the st.
Paul out OF her course. The fact that the
Campanis was also swept to the south
demonstrates pretty clearly that the error
In the dead reckoning was hardly avoid
able. Two expert saiiing masters were
adritt together.

THE WORST TOWN.

According to His Honor, HAzEN 5.
PISoREF, Mayor Of Detroit, the City OF
the Straits must have been an awful town
10 live and do business in not many
years agc. Indeed, to descend to pun
ming, which is p~srdonable, we think, I'M
der the circumstances, Detroit, before
the PINGREE period, must indeed have
been a city Of the straits and dire straits
at that.
Mayor PINGREE told Us all about IL,
Saturday night, what a dreadful place
Detroit was, and is, for the matter OF
that; for despite everything that the
Mayor has been able to do 1t has not yet
been reformed to the PINGREE standard,
and, goodness knows, anything below
hat standard would be q blotch upon
the fair face Of Nature. So Detroit is
today considerable of a blotch. The own is
corrupt from turret TO foundation stone
all but the Mayor. 1t must be Just awful
10 live in Detroit, even in these days. And
before PINGREE-well, from what Pm
GREE has told US, We wonder how green
grass could grow in the parks OF Detroit
amid such corruption.
We confess that, until we heard PIN
GREE, we had thought somewhat well Of
Detroit. To be sure the streets are rather
wide, but there Is no grass growing in
them-or there wasn't any when we
were there, before the PINoREE period,
that was-and there was the fine Cadillac
He use and the Cadillac Cafe and Cadillac
avenue and Cadillac street, and the
Cadillac monument ani Cadillac neck
wear and Cadillac cigars and other
lovely things, all growing rank and
luxuriant amid the corruption that we
are now told was In Detroit. To us
Detroit was as innocent of guile as Paw
tucket, for instance. We can scarcely
comprehend the terrible things that
Mayor PINGREE has told US about the
doings up there.
II It is all true we are glad Providence
is not like Detroit. To be sure we are
just now suffering the infection Of an
intermittent malady known as Goo Goo
ism, but it is an acute attack, ana. it is
believed, will not run into the chronic
stage. Ordinarily We are a peaceable and
comfortable community, not a bit like
Detroit, thank goodness-not the Detroit
that Mayor PINdREE has painted.
Ugh What a dreadful town it must be.

Mysterious Bond That Exists Between
Twin Sisters,

Twin Sisters.
Tiilie and Lizzie Warner of Philadel-
phia are wonderful twins. They bave
never been separated "a hours in the 10
years Of their existence. Thoroughly
we'll authenticated circumstances provo
that a mysterious bond exists between
the sisters.
If Tillie has q tooth pulled, Lizzie
has ~toothache. Recently it was neces-
sary for Tillie to undergo a surgical
operation. Lizzie suffered pain, al
though she was a mile away from the
scene, and did not know Title was un
der u surgeons are.
While the street car strike was on
Lizzie dropped her work and said, 81
must go to Till" She ran ont and found
her sister crouched in a doorway, in
front Of which O mob was holding up a
nonnnion crew on a trolley car. Either
sister can find the other In a crowd Of
any size without hunting. The resem-
blance between the girls is remarkable.
Their recollections Of past events are
precisely the same. Neither one can re
call a single occurrence that did not
happen in the presence of both. 1t takes
the minds of both TO retain a lasting
recollection Of any happening, but when
the fact is II impressed upon their
minds neither one forgets its least i'm
portant feature. New York Recorder.

A LOFTY TUNNEL.
Through Solid Granite In Pixies Peak co
supply Water.


The highest tunnel in the world, H.
$50 feet above tidewater, is 60 be bored
by Chicago contractors through Pikeie
Peak mountain, two miles distant from
the peak proper.
Cripple Creeks rapid growth has led
the people Of Colorado Springs TO fear
that tho mining town might Gro long try
to turn to its own use tho bountiful water
supply of Beaver creek, which twists its
course way up near the sky line on the
mountain. Colorado Springs now gets
its water from Bear creek, but the place
is growing fast, and to insure water
for the future the contract TO tunnel the
mountain ard TO Jet Beaver crock
through to augment the Bear creek flow
has heen let.
Tho tunnel will run through q mile
and a quarter Of solid gray granite, as
hard q stone rs is known. Tho work
will start on tho east ledge c the noun
tain, 10 miles from Colorado City, and
will run shrough to the northwest sido,
to the rocky bank OF Beaver creek. The
tunnel will have q pitch Of 6 feet IN
every 100 feet, q fact which will insure
a rapid flow Of water.
When the diverted stream reaches the
tunnels outlet, il will fan 500 feet in
the sheer into Bear Greek canyon, with
which torrent it will minglo It's waters.
The tunnel will have a Gothic roof
vertical side and a fat base. It's dimen
sions will he n width of five feet by q
height Of seven feet. The body Of water
to which IL will give cgrcss will be
large enough To form not only a pictur.
esque fall. but one which will be little
short Of grand when the element Of its
height is taken into consideration.
AreScry0ir will DO built az the Beaver
creek side, and the water will be let
into the tunnel only as it is needed
