Labor Day m Prescott.

The finance committee for the La bOr Day celebration should have its labor made easy by being met with prompt and liberal response by our citizens. While no lavish expendi- ture o( money Is expected to be made oD that occasion some funds will be necessary in order 10 carry the celebration through to q sue cess5Il issue. Citizens of Prescott hayc never failed to respond Eber- ally to any reasonable domand for
 money when occasion requires and
 we have faith in their liberal re- ! spOnse at this time.
 Citizens of PbenIx state that esti-
 mates as high as 700 or 1000 are ] made of the people who will attend 1 from there, while the lowest estI- mate made is 800
 1 special rate of S350 for the
 round trip from Congress has been
 made and the indications are that
 there will be quite a large attend
 ance from there also.
 The excursion train will leave Plenix at a. m., Congress Junction at n a. m. and arrive m Prescott at
 I2.}0 P. m.
 Ciiizens oE Flagstaff and Williams
 have also signifed q desire to par ticIpate in both the Labor Day cele- bration and in the reception which 1 will be rendered to Governor M. fl.
 McCord, and the committee IS ne gotiating with the railroad com pauies for special excursion rates from those places.
 Thee will also be large attend a"ve from the surrounding mIoing camps, and unless something un- foreseen now shall happen, Prescott
 will witness the largest crowd here ou that day that has ever been in the town. Hotel keepers, lodging
 house keepers, and parties having rooms To rent should make a note Of this, and make ample preparations Tor tke accommodation of all who visit us.
 Negotiations are under way, with prospects favorable for success in securing a match steer tying contest between Doc. GoodiD and Ed. Gatling, two of the crack steer tvers of the territory, for $500 a side, each contestant to tie five steers. Should this match be ar ranged, it will attract large num- ber of COW boys, as each 'of them have a host tf friends in the terri tCry.

statuary. Director Griffiths intends to visit the art centers of Europe the present season for the purpose of ob- taining further exhibits and interest ing prominent artists abroad in the Omaha exposition fin 1S9S Plans have been made by the exposition of ficials for the appointments of a com mission of art comnoisseurs who will be invited to serve as judges, and pass upon paintings and other works of art offered for exhibition. By this means undesirable paintings or stat uary will be barred out Jules ROlle
 hoven has belen appointed for Eng land for thfls purpose, Dr. Detroit fer Holland, Theodore Cooley for Tennet5- ses, and R. Hall Mccormick of Chica- go lis recommended for cOnnOiSseur for Illinois. Appointments for other parts of the United States and foreign countries will be invited in a short time. The connoisseurs will be clothed with authority to pass upon all paintings, pictures, sta,tuary and other works of art intended for eX
 hibition at the Trans-M Mississippi ex- position, and the bureau of fine arts will be bound by their action.
 In the realm of beauty and grace 1 thS grand TCu1Caln designed for the ] Trans-M Mississippi exposition by Scul- ptor G. J. Zolnay will be a type of the highest art This bsuatlful work which is now in the embryo sac in MT. Zolnay's studio at Nashville, ] Tenn, is a symbolic group sixty f5es | high, representing the progress of 1 civilization. A figure typifying Oma- ha is seated in a chariot drawn by Anllerican liOGs, or pumas, and around the frcnt part of the group are those who lad the way in civilizstfon-the pioneer, the hun.ler, the soldier Fol lowing these are the scholar, the phi- Iosopher, the statesman and others who come with civilization and the
 higher growth. The shades of the original inhabitants, the Indians, are pseping out in wcnidermemt and form i the outer margin Of the group. How ei Eng above the chariot and urging tlhle fair Omaha ever onward, is the spirit of Progress. In the graceful
 outlines of the figures, aided by the variety of light and shade produced
 by means of electricity, arising from
 the arrangement of the decorations
 and landscape, the realization of
 beauty and form is reached with ab- soluts, perfection The dssign will cost about $25,OOO and will form a 1 fitting masterpiece of art when placed
 in the grand court of honor at the | exposition.

WHAT LONDON TALKS ABOUT

A Denial From CaIiro-The an- nouncement that the brother of ths khedive of Egypt, Prince Mahomet Ali, is engaged to be married to an American lady, whom he met in Flu rope, and that in consequence, he has offered to renounce the succession to the khedivate in order to obtain the consent of the khedive, is authorita- lively denied.
 The Engineering Sl'rike-While an early conclusion of the engineering disputes is doubtful, the air has been partially cleared by idhe disclaimer of the intention of the employers to break up the unions, and there are also signs that the amended proposals of the board of trade may lead to a meeting between the disputarts, as, while the leaders are outwardIy finn, the men are showing a more concilia- tory spirit since the places of the strikers have been filling with non- unionists. There is scarcely room to doubt that the employers will finally

win, for the resources Of the employees are rapidly becoming exhausted, as shown by the manifesto just issued by their executive committee; admit ting that, in order to win the Sa.ik- CTS must be aided by the public to the amount of G10,0CO (S50,00O weekly.
 In addition to the engineering strike, with threatened strikes in the cotton trade and amo g lthle railroad employees, the muddle in the labor world is daily growing worse.
 Crime in the East End-The recant police records of the East End of London read Like the old days of Deadwood, Dak Revolver ShoOtings have occurred almost daily, and on Wednesday t[lera were no less than four committals to trial. One was the case of a boy who had killed a girl; another was that of a youth who seriously wounded woman; in a third man shot his mistress, and the fourth episode was that of a boy who discharged a revolver in the pit of music hall. Earlier in the week a bcy of 15 was shot by @ gang of youngsters because he refused to fight, and on Monday a bullet crashed through a watch makers store, mar nowly missing the proprietor. The Royal Free hospital recently had ten patients suffering from bullet wounds In short, the possession of Tevolvers is TOW so common in the Easl1 End that residents of that district appeal daily to the magistrates and police for the adoption of measures to put an end to this lawlessness.
 Grabbing in India.-In spite of the statement made by A. J. Balfour the first lord of the treasury, in his speech at Norwich on Thursday evening, that the government had no desire of aggression on the northwest frontier of India, but sought to maintain the present frontier, there is little doubt that the trial made by the punitive expeditions now engaged with the tribesmen will befollowed by the usu- al policy of grab. The military des- pots of India demand and public op:n- ion in Great Britain man:fatsItly favo-s a permanent military occupation of the territory practically conquered by the British troops.
 The Gay Metropolis court mourning for the duchess of Teck has made but little difference in the, gay ety of London, although many of the theaters were closed on tIhe day of the funeral Aside from this, the week has been the same as usual.
 Fine WeaIther.-Ths phenomenally fine weather prevailing Is the despair of the store keepers, who say they cannot sell any winter clothing. The month of October was the dryest since 1884. Laburnums, primroses and wallflowers are growing, and straw berries are being gathered in the south of England.
