All these schools need more money !:
they require new buildings, new hbrAs

the Society has thus far been unable to
obtain the money necessary to thor
oughly equip them. Several of them
are very good schools indeed and do
ing a most excellent work, but none of
them are suitably equipped, properly
manned, or amply endow ed. They
need millions of dollars. and the Home

them.

The Grand Colorado Canyon.

"Queer American Rivers is the title of an article in St Nicholas. written by F. R. Spearman- The author says of the great intermountain streams like the Yellowstone and the Colorado:
 They flow through landscapes of desc late grandeur, vast expanses oompassed by endless mountain ranges that chill the bright skies with never melting snows. The countless peaks look down on the clouds. while far below the clouds wind valleys that the sunlight never reaches Twisting in gloomy dusk through these valleys, gaping canyon yawns Peering fearfuIly into its black, forbidding depths, an echo reaches the ear. It is the fury of mighty river. so far below that only @ sullen roar rises to the light of day. With frightful ve- locity it rushes through a channel cut during centuries of patience deep into the stubborn rock. Now mad with whirlpools, now silently awful with stretches of green water that wait to lure the boatman to death. the mighty river rushes darkly through the Grand Colorado canyon.
 No sport, no fun, no frolic there. Here are only awe inspiring gloom and grandeur and dangers so hideous that only a handful of men have ever braved them-fewer still survived.

Immlgration commissiOners.

The annual meeting of ths terri torial board of immigration com missioners was held at the executive chambers yesterday afternoon. There were present, Governor McCord, ex- officio chairman; T. c. Jordan Maricopa county; John c. Martin of Yavapai county; W. B. Kelly, oi Graham county, and c. O. Ander- son, of Navajo county. There were represented by proxy, J. w. Dor rington, of Yuma county; Herbert Brown, of Pima; Anson Smith, ol Mohave; c. M. Funston, of Coco nino, and Walter Scott, of Apache.
 Several subjects were under dis cussIon, the most important ol which was the matter of printing the report of the commission. Though the law creating the com mission provides for this expendi- ture and in fact does not limit it, the report has heretofore been made a pars of the governors report and has in consequence been made too brief to fully meet the purposes of the commission.
 Nothing was decided upon at the meeting of yesterday. It Ess re- solved to adjourn until June 25, and in the meantime an effort will be made to secure a larger persOnal at endanee--Republiean.

what Should an Architect Dc TaughtF

What should an Architect Be Taught?
 Sound and ready knowledge of build ing, dexterous readiness and some ap- proach to excellence as freehand drafts man and some skill as a modeler-tbese are the three things which the student should be taught, says Russell Sturgis in The Atlantic. All else is a part of his higher education, of his training as a man rather than as an architect. Time was when there existed no such distinction; when there were living traditions which the young architect had to learn, which he would learn naturally as an apprentice, exactly as the apprentice painter picked up his art of painting naturally and ground his masters colors and swept out his mas ter's workshop the while. Those days are gone.
 There is no tradition now which ought to be learned. because there is no tradition which is not that of some school or coterie, none which binds the world of building men. There is no tra- dition now which should not be avoided, because there is no tradition which is not telling against healthy growth of the fine art of building The traditions now are of the most mischievous char acter, and nothing can come of famil- iarity with them but prolongation of the sterile years. the years of the lean kline, through which the European world goes starving in spirit for food of the solid and wholesome sort known to men of old. Designing cannot be taught; good taste cannot be taught. and yet it is we'll for the artist in any department to learn what other artists have done and to learn how they designed and to see what they accounted good taste

Madrid, May 24 A Madrid dis patch says that Admiral Cervera probably failed to make a junction with other vessels of his squadron, and that two of his cruisers may have fallen into the hands of the enemy.
 Washington, May 24. - General Merritt, who has been assigned 10 the command of the troops which invade the Philippine islands, has been given secret orders to proclaim military law on the islands on his arrival there. This is an indication that military governor will be ar pointed. and unless the Spanish guv- ernor surIenders, will result in a dual government.
 Key West, May 24.-The light house tender Mangrove, which was yesterday reported as having been captured by a Spanish cruiser, of the Porto Rican coast, is safe. She was sighted yesterday of Cuba.
 Washington, May 24.-At the Cab inet meeting today, the reports of a big naval battle were discussed. Belief was expressed that the Lon don dispatch was probably true, but nothing officially was known by our government.
 Hong Kong, May 24. -Admiral Dewey has refused to allow the German consul to land provisions. The consul threatened to land them by force. with the aid of two German war vessels in the harbor, when the American admiral informed hIm that if the attempt was made, he would blow the war ships out of the water.

" AR NEWS!

New York, May 24.-The Mail and Express has just bulletined a cable from London, which says that big naval battle occurred yesterday in the Windward Passage between the American fleet and Admiral Ceryera's squadron. It states that the AmeTi- can squadron closed in on Cervera's feet, and completely destroyed the Spanish squadron.
 Key West, May 24-The most in- tense excitement exists here. The belief is general that a great naval engagement has taken place, result ing in a victory fer the American vessels. but with considerable loss. Soon after the arrival of a dispatch boat, work was commenced at hos pitals putting them in readiness to receive patio nts. This action IS con sidered highly significant, but au- thentic information is very meager
 Washington, May 24.-l2 m.-The navy department continues hourly awaiting definite news of the great naval battle, but will give out noth- ing. Stocks rose this morning over Madrid dispatches which state that important news had been received there from the Spanish fleet, but the government there refuses to give out the nature of the news received. The natural assumption is that tbe news is unfavorable to Spain, and the Spanish officials dread to im- part it.
 Washington, May 24. - At four o'clock this afternoon, the navy de- l pertinent issued formal statement l to the effect that there is no reason to believe that an engagement has occurred in the Windward Passage.
 Madrid, May 24.-Spain is on the brink of a revolution on account of the bread question, which has now reached the danger point. Riots 1 have already occurred in several 1 provinces on account of the price of l bread having been raised by the bakers, and the Queen Regent is unpopular.

Better Than Savings Banks


 It is duty of every young man, married or single, if in the enjoy ment of good health and is in em- ployment, to save a portion of his earnings. Savings banks and build ing and loan associations afford ex- cellent opportunities for this, but greater opportunities than these ar- frequently offered in the way of in vestments, if the young man pos sesses the good business judgment to take advantage of them. There can be DO safer investment made than the purchase of real estate in 8 prosperous and growing town. Just at the present time such au oppor- tunity is prese nted in Phenix. The capitol addition there, consisting of a large number of lots, is now being offered for sale, on very easy terms. By making a small cash payment purchasers can pay the balance in monthly installments. The con- struction of the capitol building thls summer is sure to enhance the value of these lots, so that while the purchaser is paying for them they will be growing in value. The owner of these lots is offering them at the old price and intending pur. chasers should make their selection at once SO as to get first choice snd avoid paying an advanced price. There are huudIeds of miners as we'll as men and women in other oc- equations in this county, who could spare a few dollars every month and by investing in these lots could thus save a "nest egg" for the future.

The Enees of Fog.

Accidents due to the obscuration of objects by fog are so common that scientists are making a study of absorb ent power of fog as regards lights of all kinds. It appears that London fog ab- sorbs 90. 8 per cent of the light from an incandesoent burner, while the ordinary gas flame loses but H. per cent. The incandescent light contains more blue, and this is readily absorbed by the fog. Red lights are much more penetratiye than blue, and as the gaslight contains far more red than the electric it is much more valuable as 8 light for use in very heavy fogs. It is fact familiar to every. one that when the sun shows through mist it is of deep red color. This Is accounted for by the fact that the blue rays are entirely absorbed, leaving only the red with it's much more powerful quality of penetration.-New York Ledger.
