The Arizona sentinel., 1897-08-28

Showers, and indeed heavy rains are l;a ole to occur in every month of the year; but the actual number of rains seems to an eastern visitor strangely small. The average rainfall in Southern Arizona, as shown by the Government observations, Is but sH inches pe- year.

VIRGINIA ALL RIGHT.

ln the words OF the itlnerant sport
Reno is dead hostile" That little
burg which contains the oracle has
become nightly virtuous since it
failed to get the big fight and because
it is %virtuous thinks mere should be
no more cakes and ale," to use the
language of the immortal bard. The
Hostility" of Reno has beer exhibit
ed through the column of its press
and has cropped u in correspond
ence sent from there to the Associated
Press. These evidences of hostility
were in the form of articles calculated
to belittle the advantages of the State
and keep the coming crowd away bv
disappearing and belittling the
railroad and other accommodations
which will be at the service of the
people who come.
1t is plainly to be seen that if the
u~nsuspecting sport or gentleman who
M to Nevada to witness the fight
falls into Reno he will find himself
in the position Of the gentleman Of
holy writ who fell among thieves.
Reno will regard every man who
comes into the State to witness the
fight as legitimate prey and will bleed
him accordingly. The price of beds
will be multiplied. A solution of old
boots in sulphuric acid will be served
the Rjvar aity'c y,octo o,+ 1f lGGo-e
dian Club" whisky bottles, and in
those days Reno cigar dealers will
import their perfectos from a city
known as Chinatown in he county Of
San Francisco. IF the men who
wishes to enjoy life while in Nevada
during the crush would know comfort
he should come through and engage
lodgings in Virginia, where people
are hospitable and their hearts un-
sullied by that hatred, malice and all
manner Of Observation-Disclosures which
follows in the wake of envy. Come to
Virginia City, where stately hotels
rear their magnificence to the sky and
where instead of merely being fed
three times daily you can dine of the
best the markets Of the world produce
Virginia will be the land flowing with
milk and honey during the week OF
the big fight, and when the wandere1
in the wilderness Of Nevada finds
himself longing for the flesh pots of a
great metropolis he should send spies
into Virginia City and heed the WOO
derful stories of plenty with which
they will acknowledgements.

UNFAIR CRITICISM.

Rev. Francis Nash in the Christian
Endeavor for Febru Try says Nevada
has never had a genuine Christian
Sabbath. *** The saloons and
gambling bells make more money on
that day than all the other DAYS Of
the week, and whenever an attempt is
made to secure the SABBATH the Seveo
Day Adventists stand in with the
saloon men and do their best to stamp
out the last vestage Of respect and
reverence for the day. *** In many
places the day is dreaded by the
wives and mothers as the worst dav
In the week-the day for drinking.
and horse racing, a day
1or lights, and brawls, riOting and
murder. heaven daring impiety and
beastly impurity. ***"
The above is calculated to give East
ern people a wrong impression of
Nevada.
n observance of the sabbath is
about the same here in Nevada as it
is in Massachusetts, no better, no
w Sley VI CdISOu supports
four churches, and they are we'll at
tended on Sunday.
O~ccasionly a fake horse race comes
OIL on Sunday, but few people attend
and such races do not pay.
The Pacific Trotting Association
will not allow Sunday horse racing.
One can not pick up an eastern paper
without reading Of a m being
ravished.
Can Rev. Nash readily recall such a
case in Nevada?
The State has a good record NOR
ally. Its percentage of crime is small
Ter than any eastern State that can be
named.
One is apt to be impressed with
evils that are close at home and i'm
AGNES that beyond ones horizon of
observation all is good.
The people of Nevada are full of
true charity and christian benevo-
lence. We are lot all saints, but we
are better than the average, and a
clergyman looking for a moral
Utopia might go further and fare
worse.

The power of steam was known to
Hero of Alexandria, who exhibited what
seems from the description to have been
a small steam engine to Ptolemy Phila-
delphus and his court about 100 B. G.
Pliny describes u small boat, built by a
magician" of Rome, which moved by
means of n wheel, driven by a pot of
hot water" Watts invention of n TO-
tary steam engine was patented in 1863.
The first railway locomotive was built
by Trevithick i'll 1904. The first prac-
tical locomotive was perfected by Ste
phenson i'll 1929. AS early as 1907 Denys
Papin built II model of n steamboat,
which vas destroyed by n mob of bout
men. The first practical steamboat was
built by William Symington in 1902.
In 1903 Robert Fulton, in connection
with Chancellor Livingston, built a
steamboat which was tried OH the Seine.
In 1907 the Clermont began trips from
New York to Albany.

A COOKED UP ROMANCE.

"Oh. lady" said a brave md courteous knight,
While waiting for his supper Mt an inn,
ITO me it is =. very painful sight
To See you clustering your very pretty skin
Over that broiling fire md blazing light.
And though II thousand triumphs l might
win
In field or tourney or in oThand light,
l really think it would be quite Il sin
For me to now forsake you in such IA plight.
$50, while l tire not of the battles din,
Because l am IA brave and courteous knight.
If l might hope your fairy hand to win,
would change places, If you think it's right,
And stir the porridge thick or stir it thin.
Just rs you bid me, morning, noon or night.
And thus together we might keep the inn.
For, cased ill arInOr, I'm protected quite,
While you would save your lily, milk white
skin"
So runs the legend. Thus do men explain
The queer design by which is still bedight
The sign that marks through wind and sun
and rain,
THE Hostclry of the Most Courteous
Knight"

the six months defense Of the fortress
by the Russians, were at first very
weak, and military experts say the town
might have been taken by a vigorous

first few days of the siege. The igno-

George, with an eager, restless yearn'

They had sat in the darkened par
parlor for hours, in the eloquent COM
munion of soul with soul which needs
no articulate sound to give it language.
But something impelled George to
speak. The longing that surged up
from his very heart must find express
sion in words. Therefore he had
spoken.
"What is it, George ?" she whisper
ed.
"It may involve some sacrifice, dar-
ling. But believe me, Laura, it is for
the BEST"
"What is it, George?" she repeated,
in a voice that trembled as with a
vague foreboding of coming disaster.
"You will believe me, dearest" he
said, with an agitation becoming every
moment more uncomfortable, "when /
say that am driven to ask it by circum-
stances over which have no control,
that bave pondered long over it, and
am not acting from hasty impulse"
ayes! Yes! the beautiful young
girl exclaimed, with quivering lips.
"What is it you ask, George? What

to the inmost depths of her being, ~

was. "Well, don't you think there is
such thing as minister of the gospel
smoking too much ?" The doctor GER
tainly did. "Well, what would you
call too much?" And the doctor as
sured the deacon that he would GER
tainly call it smoking too much if
any man, no matter who, should smoke
two cigars at once.

inquired a St. Paul young lady whose

"Why, have you not heard" he re-

p6- The late Sir Thomas Chambers,
an English judge, was not a wit and
laughter seldom entered the court over
which he presided so solsmnly. There
is, however, one good story told of him
in The Temple. 1t is to the effect
that a prisoner, who was undefended,
pleaded "guilty," and, counsel having
been instructed to defend him at the
last moment, withdrew the plea and
substituted that of 'not guilty." with
the result that the jury acquitted him.
In discharging the prisoner, Sir Thom-
as is said to have remarked, "Prisoner,
I do not envy you your feelings. On
your own confession you are a thief,
and the jury have found that you are
a liar"

R6 Some men are blessed with rare
faculty of escaping the wrath of offend

would not, sir" rejoined the Helena
man, with some spirit. 81 esteem my
honor above everything hold dear in
this world. I would not" At this
iuncture he saw his assailant get ready
to strike from the shoulder, and he
added, II would not tell one lie for a
quarter, but am willing to tell four for
a dollar" A bottle of nickelplated
champagne took the place of the fight.
