CITY COUNCIL.

The city council met last night in special session to get rid of some of the overflow business promised for the regular meeting Monday night. Ter rltorlal Secretary Bruce agreed to fur nlsh the legislative and council cham bers provided the city would do certain things. The agreement was accepted. An ordinance was passed limiting the speed of bicycles in the city limits to eight miles an hour. The fine in the matter was reduced on amendment from S5 and 50. The matter of repeal ing the franchise granted to J. J. Gardi her for the privilege of laying water and gas pipes along and over the streets and alleys of Phoenix was brought up and repealed, but it is probable another franchise will be granted to MT.

IRRIGATION.

A periodical devoted to irrigation says the canvnntions that arg to he held at Great Bend. Kansas, end Phn nix, Ariz.'ns. are the iore-rupners of come impnrtant work. and if properly conducte,. can map out the work to be done with reference 10 the most import ant question that now presents itself to the people of this country. Nearly one- half of the United States must even tually be titled by the aid of irrigation. The great dra N back under which every farmer in the United States labors is the painful irregularity of rainfall by which his fields are liable to be flooded at one time and burned up at another and could he be aesured that an easily found remedy existed, he would certain ly go to any extent to avail himself thereof. By irrigation. the single great element of chance eliminated from the operations of the farmer who ls thereby made ind pendent of the freaks and idiosyncraries of the weather and is en abled to blow and plant to the absolute certainty of harvesting whether th' rainfall be light or heavy. There is nc question more important to the people of this country than the subject of irrl gation.

WOMEN PLAY THE RACES.
Society Ladies Caught in a Pool Room

 When the police broke into the pool room ln the building at 351 Thirty-.hird street, the occupants were busily en. gagged examining the entry cards at Oakley. Windsor, St. Louis and the Ideal Park races and in placing bets.

PAID ONE AT A i..AE.
Pennies Not Legal Tonder in Amounts of
 More Than TMcntY-Eive Gents.

Pennies Not Legal Ponder in Amounts of
 More Than Twenty-Five Cents.
 There is postmaster in a 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 (Afich.) 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 a view of teaching his imror- tance, he picked 5 pennies from the heap, handed out s 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 q malicious gleam in his eye the buyer swept the re- maining pennies into his pocket and mildly inquired: q suppose can get one-cent stamp here TOT penny, can IF" Certainly" sa,o 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 fact 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 th' crowd.

LINcOLN'S WIDE SYMPATHY.
Treated All People Alike in a Courteous
 Manner.

Treated All People Alike in Courteous
 Horace Greeley once said: I doubt whether man, woman or child, white or black, bound or free, virtuous or Vi cious, ever accosted or reached forth hand to Abraham Lincoln and detect ed in his countenance or manner any repugnance or shrinking from the prof fered contact, any assumption of supe- riority or betrayal of disdain.'
 "Frederick Douglas, the orator and patriot, is credited with saying: MT. Lincoln is the only white man with whom I have ever talked, or in whose presence I have ever been, who did not consciously or unconsciously betray to me that he recognized nay color
 George Bancroft, the historian, al luding to this characteristic, which was never so conspicuously manifested as during the darker days of the war, beautifully illustrates it in these mem orable words: As child, in dark night, on a rugged way, catching hold of the hand of it's father for guidance and support, Lincoln clung fast to the hand of the people and moved calmly through the gloom.'''

MYSTERIES OF THE LOUVRE.
Vague Stories of Imperial Crime Reach
 the Outside World.

Vague Stories of Imperial Crime Reach
 the Outside World.
 Everyone who has ''done' the Louvre will remember the low-pitched and somewhat gloomy halls in which are stored the treasures of Egypt. Beneath these lie yet more darkly mysterious vaults, inaccessible to the public, though approached by wide and hand some staircase, such as would lead one to imagine that it communicated with apartments of some importance. Yet one finds at the bottom nothing but broad passages disposed in the form If a cross, and without any sign what ever of door or window.
 4 recent examination, however, of the solid walls gives experts reason to .elieve that the masonry IS more recent 1 than the rest of the structure in this, the oldest portion of the fortress pal ace. NJ. Naugneux, a well-known critic. believes that many of the bodies of i Fictims killed in the revolution of 1890 were immured here, and that the gov ernment was afraid to reveal the facts when the remains of their comrades were collected beneath the Colonne de ,Tuillet.
 sOn the other hand, M. Blondel, the architect of the building, and NJ. Nor mand. the secretary of the Society for Protecting Parisian Monuments, hold the opinion that these subterranean passages led to the oubliettes into which Catherine de Medicis cast those who were unfortunate enough to incul her hate or fear. A judicious explora tion would clear up the matter, and settle, too, several doubtful points as to the foundations of Lcscot's origina citadel. Unfortunately, the ennua grant does not provide fer aHy sue. archaeological research, anG it would bt necessary to appeal for funds to tho generosity of the chamber.-LondoI ! Chronicle

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 Dlackwood's Magazine, be- came busy traders. Flemish traders had been ruined by war, Flemish refu- gees had focked 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 a 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 at tackled.
 Elizabeth connived at this covert mar itime war both before and after the Armada, and thestruggles between Eng lish traders and Spanish monopolists were far too numerous and important to admit of peace between the two gov ernments. It was this spirit of com mercial adventure, whether it be called i piracy or heroic attempt to rescue the new world from the inquisit:on 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.
