The Fourth in Flagstaff.

There was considerable powder burned in Flagstaff on the Fourth. notwithstanding there was no ''celebra- tion" advertised nor no preparations for a general patriotic demonstration made. The news that the Spanish fleet had been captured and destroyed by Sampson was received here on the morning of the Fourth, and our people were so joyous over the tidings that they made extensive use of giant crackers and dynamite to give express sion to their feelings.
 It was the greatest Fourth of July
The Coconino sun., 1898-07-09

throughout the United States that has been known since the Civil war. and Flagstaff people exhibited the patriotic feeling as sincerely, if not quite so noisily, as any other town in the coun- try.
 A fund had been raised among our citizens to pay for bulletins concerning the fight of Friday, Saturday and Mon day, and the bulletins as they were re- ceived were posted in front of the SUN office and attracted all day during the Fourth the attention of crowds of citi- zens. It was Fourth of July which will be recorded in American annals as the date of the death of Spanish rule in the Antilles and of the birth of freedom and righteous government on those isles

WATER WORKS.

City Will Lease the Jack Smith Spring for
 Thirty Years.
 The city council has accepted the proposition of the railroad company to lease the Jack Smith spring for term of thirty years at rental of sl0O per year.
 The railroad company in their prop ositiOn states: If at the end of five years you elect to purchase, we agree to sell the spring for $2.5OO. This, however. providing we find it will not be needed for railroad purposes.
 We agree to pay s2. 300 per year for thirty years for water to be delivered to our engines and cars at Flagstaff in the maximum quantity of 75,000 gallons per day"
 The proposition was, as stated above, accepted after due deliberation. and now the next step will be the letting of the contract for the construction of water works. Two bids have been made for the contract, and one of them will likely be accepted within the next few days.
 It is now a practically settled fact that Flagstaff is to have water works which will furnish an abundant supply of pure mountain spring water for the city,

 The expedition was organized by Ol- iver Lippincott, being backed for the Santa Fe Railroad company, for the purpose of securing authO-chromatic views of the Grand Canyon. They are supplied with special plates for the purpose and also with specially pre- pared chemicals to overcome the eli matic conditions which have heretofore rendered the photographing of the canyon so difficult. The chemicals and plates have been brought here in her. medically sealed tin cans, and superior results are anticipated.

TRYING A PEW.
Some Women Make a Practice Of This
and Keep 1t Up.

"One of the things we have to con-
tend with" said trustee of a promin-
ent church, lis the woman who wants
to try pew before renting it. Now,
we have no desire to force anyone to sit
where she does not want to, or still
more to sit in an undesirable pew, and
we are always willing that a newcomer
should test for herself the desirability
of any pew before she decides to rent
it. But when it comes to half a dozen
tests of the same pew, only to declare
that she doesn't like it, and followed
by half dozen more tests, each of half
dozen different locations, it is tire
some, to say the least, and one becomes
suspicious of the woman's intentions
Yet that is what. well-more women
than | should care to name make a
practice of doing. They will come here,
and with the greatest show of interest
and enthusiasm will consult with one
in authority about taking pew. Be
fore deciding upon one they wish to
try it, however, and by the process
above described they go on and try
others. Such women sometimes sue
coed in thus getting free sitting in the
church for a whole year"

CONGRESSMAN DAVIDSON seems to be
fctive In the interests of his constituents.
There will be no river and harbor bill at
this session and Mr.. Davidson has in
trodnced two JOINT resolutions relating
TO the harbors at Maultowoc and Two
RIVERS. The secretary Of war Is called
upon by the resolution referring to Man
i,owcc to have survey to be made to
determine the best way OF preventing
damage from north east seas, and also for
extending The breakwater and extending
ie north pier 400 feet. The exters.on OF
the south pier has practically made the
breakWater pier extension SO far as
north east storms are concerned. The ex-
tension OF the breakerwater on line with
the piers Will cure this and secure MS FROM
all storms except those directly from the
east. The large number of boats which
winter here make harbor Improvement at
this place almost q national necessity.
Above Eighth street bridge vessels may
lie With absolute safety, but there is
not sufficient room there for the large

The resolution regarding Two Rivers
authorizes the secretary to make sur
vey to determine the need of deepening
the harbor and making Immediate i'm.
provements on the piers. Two Rivers has
enlarged Its manufacturing induetries
considerably OF late years and their busi-
ness IS such that harbor Improvement at
that place Is amply justified.

MONEY SHIPPED BY MAIL.
A State of Affairs That Makes BIis
Scarce just Now in the Northwest.

A State of Affairs That Makes BiIIs
Scarce just Now in the Northwest.
curious state Of affairs prevails at
present in the banks of the northwest.
Go TO a bank with check. ask the teller
TO cash it, and ne viii pay you in gold.
Ask him for bills and he will tell YOU
that he cannot accommodate YOU. Cur
rency is so scarce in Minneapolis, ST.
Paul and other northweste tern cities
that the banks are compelled TO pay in
geld. The reason for tins state Of af-
fairs is that the bills are being shipped
to the east in mail sacks. The cashier
Of Minneapolis bank gave the follow
ing explanations:
The reason WHY we refuse to pay out
currency is that we are sending remit
tances east through the mails, instead
Of by express, as in the past, and, of
course, owing to the expense, we send
nothing utpaper money. Just at pres
ent the balance of trade is against us
and the money is flowing out. This
causes the scarcity of currency. and Il
is fact that Minneapolis and St. Paul
are practically drained of all bills of
large denominations. In former days
we were accustomed to ship money By
express, and when we did that bullion
was sent.
Some time ago the companies raised
the charges somewhat. and the banks
refused to accede to the increased rate
Then the present scheme was devised.
The money is sent by registered mail,
and the cost between here and Chicago
IS 20 cents per $1,000. by paying an ad-
ditiOnal u cents upon each thousand
the shipment is insured by q London
institution. The express companies
We're charging us so cents per thou,
sand. but have recently reduced their
charge to 20 cents. OF course, we
should prefer to ship by the express
companies and are willing to pay them
a higher price than the cost by mail
but not the present difference.

An practical Scientist

A new story is going the rounds at
the expense of well known scientist
of Philadelphia, says the Record. who
has made a speciality of the study of
physics, and whose inventions are
known from one end of the country to
the other. 1t seems that he recently
purchased a barrel of pippin cider. and
lad it sent up to his residence, where
he proceeded to tap it. The spigot
used was in good working order, but
for some reason unknown to the scien-
tific man the cider refused TO flow.
He tilted the barrel up, pOked wires
through the open spigot to make sure
it was all right, and pottered around
for a couple of hours without satisfac-
tory results. Then he gave up the job
in disgust and sent for the man from
whom he had bought the apple juice.
This Internal cider must be as thick
as paste" he said, when the expert
arrived. Il can't get a drop of il to
run out" The visitor examined the bar
rel for a moment, and quietly smiled.
"Of course you can't, professor" he
said. you've forgotten to make an air
hole in the bung so that the air can
get in as the cider flows out"

NOT SO GREEN.
The MOtorman Recognized the Cen di-
items That Called for Care.

The uptown bound cable car appaT-
emily was in the hands of green motor
man, says the New York sun. VI least
that was the way the crowd OF passen-
gers accepted il, when, after each stop,
ii started up again with violent jCrii.
which threw big men around like skit-
ties. Straps were of no value.
AT Prince street Il little Old man got
on and made his way to about the mid
die OF the ear. He lost something of his
mildness of expression When he was
thrown suddenly and forcibly against
q young woman, knocking oil her hat.
but he said nothing. Next big man
made ParabOiic swing, landed, aud
nearly Knocked him through the win
dow. Then the face Of he little man
grew very red. He pushed his way to
the front door and shaking his finger
in the mot0rman's surly viAage
threatened TO throw him off the car and
run the thing himself. The motorman
''sassed" back, but the excited little
passenger talked fast and dared him
to do it again. Then he shut the door
and waited; and every one held his
breath when the bell rang.
But the fight did not come off. The
car started as gently as molasses. and
never once from Prince street, where
that one little man stood on his rights,
up to Fiftieth street did the ear start
In any but the smoothest way.
That Inotorman was not so green.

MOCCASINS FOR KLONDIKERS.
Large Demand for Them Has Been



AS result of the movement toward
Alaska, the leather dealers report great
activity in the manufacture and sale of
the acknowledged moccasins." The
government, says the Milwaukee Wis
consin, has recently ordered large sup
plies of these articles for troops who
are to be sent to the gold fields of
Alaska. II is declared that no other
footgear would suit the soldiers so well.
because the moccasin is the warmest
clothing for the foot in the world, and
easier than a silken sandal. The manu-
facture of moccasins in shoe factories
began away back In 1851, and the bust
ness grew rapidly, until at one time
soon after the war there were four
large factories and several sma .er ones,
employing about 600 hands and turning
out hundreds CT thousands of pairs of
moccasins every year. The moccasin
is made of common leather, as rule,
tanned III a peculiar way. Salt and
alum are used in the process. This
makes the leather soft and pliable, and
there is a way in which, at some addi-
tional expense, it may be made water
proof. The secret of the process is
known to only few, and the tanning is
carried on for the most part in Rhode
Island. Leather thus tanned was first
used for mill betting, and it was years
before it was discovered that II was
good for boots and shoes of the easy
and bulgy kind fit for lumbermen. who
like to wear two or three pairs of stock
ings when they go into the woods and
start on three months campaign with
snow. The original moccasin was
baggy and unsightly thing, but now
they have some pretense to symmetry

pings About Him from Newspapers.
1t is said that when Mr.. Barney Bar
nato gave picnic at the opening OF the
johannesburg waterworks he related
an incident that had happened to him
in London some time before, y seedy-
looking man, describing himself as q
journalist, called on him one day, says
the Westminster budget, and offered
to cut out from papers, etc, all the COM
plimentary things said about Mr. Bar
nato. The genial man of millions saw
that the man was down on his luck,
and engaged him on the spot at a sal
airy of Is per month. This was quite
characteristic of "Barney's" sudden
and irresponsible freaks. AT the end
of six months the man, who had been
paid monthly, again called on Mr.. Bar
nato and presented a huge bundle OF
clippings from newspapers, asking
whether he should continue the work
NO." replied Barney, but | will en-
gage you for six months at the same
salary to cut out all the nasty things
you can find said about me-" Another
six months elapsed, and once more the
interchangeable paper-clipper turned up
and reported his work to be finished.

results of your work?" Here Barney
assumed his gravest aspect as he re-
peated the mans reply: II have not
been uble to bring them in; there are
two cart-loads outside!"

Women of Paris Are Very Beautiful

like the way the French take their
amusemeEts. At the reater they laugh
and applaud the Wit o. the hero and hiss
the villain. They shout their approval
OF duel and weep aloud over the
Death of the aged mother. When they
drive in the Boise they smile and have
an air of enjoyment quite at variance
with the bored expression Of English
and Americans who have enough money
to own carriages. We drove in HYDE
Park in London the day before we
came TO Paris, and nearly wept with
sympathy for the unspoken grief in
the faces of the Unfortunate rich who
were at such pains to enjoy themselves.

TT SHOULD BIZ kIRWAN.

UNDER the above caption The Fond
du Lac Reporter publishes the fol
lowing strong Endorsement:
THREE weeks from to day the voters
of the fourth judicial circuit will be
called upon to select a successor to
Judge \. ). Gibson, whose term of
office expires next January. That
successor should be man of wide Ie
gal learning, man Of mature years,
an eminent inrlst, a broad minded CT
tiZen. whose life is evidence OF fitness
for so responsible a position. The
bench, in the future, as In the past,
should be kept out of politics and the
election, on April 5th, should be en-
trely on non partisan lines. With
this end in view the members of the
bar and other citizens. IN at least three
counties Of the circuit, signed call
for Judge klrwan to stand as Il can
didate. These petitions We're signed
by both Republicans and Democrats
III the interests Of an absolutely non
partisan Judiciary and they include
the representative membe of the
two parties la the counties of Fond
du Lac, Manitowoc, and keewaunee.
These petitions are strong testimoni
ais for the worth of Judge kirwan
and are indicative of the high esteem
IN which he is held throughout the
circuit and, III fact, throughout the
state. As a broad minded public ci
tlzen, as man of wide legal learn
lng, as an eminent jurlst. he meets
every requirement. for the high and
responsible position on the bench, a
place he will not only fill with dis
tinctiOn but with honor to the bench
itself
THE REPORTER has been, and is IN
qualitiedly Tor Judge Michael kirwan
for Judge of the fourth Judicial circuit
AMI trusts that he may have the in
dorsement at the polls of every voter.
Its not enough that he should be
elected. In the interests of purely
non-partisan Judiciary he should be
unanlmonsly selected as the successor
to Judge n 5 ellison. 1t has long
been the policy IN Wisconsin to keep
the Judiciary aloof from politics and
no better opportunity has been afford
Ell to emphasize this position than
the present one. Let Judge Kirwan
be elected by an overwhelming vote
and it will reflect credit and honor
upon the voters of the fourth judicial
circuit, at the same time giving to the
bench the services of a jurist who will
at all times serve the people faithfully
and we'll. Let the Judge elected at the
coming judicial election, be the Hon.
