An Irish Exhibition. .

A laudable effort Is being made in
Dublin for the holding of an exhibition
of manufactures and raw materials in
that city next year. 1t is proposed to
establish limited liability company
which shall undertake all expenses, and
in the event of the capital being sub
scribed immediate steps will be taken
to organize an exhibition which shall
be placed on permanent basis for the
display of Irish manufactures and pro-
ducts in the city of Dublin, and shall
in every way promote the native in
dustries of the country.

lily from the room. Agatha, who met
her on the stairs, noticed that she was
weeping.
The wedding invitations followed as
closely as possible upon the heels of
the announcement. Four months is
considered a short time. They seemed
a century to Agatha; but to Mater and
Melicent they were an age. The pro-
prietors of the Pennington School of
Observation for Young Girls missed
the tuition fee of the youngsters from
the West, and they felt the loss of the
board money most keenly. Manay a
time they wished that the red haired
girl would come back. The interest
on the mortgage stared them in the
face.

after family council, that Pater had

Melicent rejoined. Il wish every day

Heralded by paragraphs In the So
ciety columns of the SUNDAY newspa-
pers. by bits of pasteboard engraved
at Tiffany's, and by the gossips of st.
Sebastian's, the wedding came at last.
1t was in June, but shortly after the
Commencement of the School of OBJ
servation for Young Girls.
The Commencement that year was a
meager affair. 1t was also the last.
There were two graduates, and the
little room in the building of the
Young Mems Christian Association was
barely filled. Two or three vestrymen
from st. Sebastian's, and several of the
eminent professional men to whom
Mrs. Pennington had referred In her

WATER STORAGE ESSENTIAL.

Instead of being truthful and can did, as the article would have the read CT to believe, it was prejudiced and bilious in the extreme and would have the tendency of driving away new corners instead of attracting them"
 The above graph is taken from an article in the Gazette attacking the statement made in this newspaper last Monday relative to the water supply of the Salt River valley. The Repub- lican's statement was one of fact, rather than fiction, and was directly in line with arguments always made by friends of Arizona who know the needs of this valley. If The Republi- can is wrong then the promoters of the Rio Verde, the Hudson and the Agua Fria enterprises have no possible excuse for trying to enlist capital for their re- spective propositions. There is not an observing resident of this valley who does not know that water storage development of the valley. To say that it is wrong to state the facts in connection with the effort to secure water storage is the most arrant non sense. The truth cannot injure this valley. Wonderful results have al ready been accomplished here. With the impounding of the flood waters the irrigation problem in this region would be solved for all time.
 If the Gazette will print all that The Republican said on this subject, in stead of garbling our statement, we shall be greatly pleased. At the same time our silly contemporary is vel come to all the capital it can make cut of it's misrepresentations

EMPEROR WILLIAMS VIEWS.

During a ball in Berlin last week the German emperor had an informal chat with several ambassadors, among them MT. Andrew D. White. Inciden- tally the emperor remarked that he had been misrepresented by several papers in the United States as to his disliking Americans. On the contrary, he remarked, he liked many traits in the American character. This is es- pecially important, if true, and it takes an awful load from the minds of those Americans who have fancied that Elm peror William did not admire the peo- pie of this country in the aggregate
 The emperor has discerning mind There are many most excellent traits to be discovered through a study of the American character. The emperor did not specify which traits had most inn pressed him favorably. Probably one of them is the trait of speaking their own mind freely and upon all ques- tions. When an American citizen has anything on his mind he generally blurts it out, and that is why the Ger man emperor has reached the conclu- sion that he has been misrepresented If he had read the papers of this coun- try carefully he would have discovered him was fair, albeit at times rather personal. One paper in this country has described him as the smartest man on earth, making good the statement by pointing out the many things to which the emperor can turn his hands and his brain.
 The American newspapers have oc- casionally expressed belief that the emperor did not like the American people, and they based their view upon the arbitrary action taken by the Ger man government in the matter of American products. The American hog, the American horse and the American apple have all been turned down in turn by Germany, and thus the emperor has been held responsible to a certain extent, that creating the impression that he was disliked here.
 We are pleased to know that the en- peror does not altogether dislike us, although he qualities his statement by saying there are only some traits in our people that he can commend. Now that the emperor has had an op- portunity to watch the attitude of the American people since the battleship Maine was blown up he may come to the conclusion that one of our traits is first being right before going ahead. If it be necessary to act in the matter of the German exclusion of our products that trait will be again illustrated most effectively.

KEEP COOL

President Mckinley must be ex- tremely gratified to find that for nearly three weeks, and under the most try ing conditions that have come to the nation for many years, he has had the right thinking and the intelligent men of the country behind him and close up to him.
 The disaster to the Maine naturally excited the people, but the advice of Captain Sigsbee, sent out the night the Maine was blown up, followed by his declaration to a correspondent that "it is best to know" made the people hesitate before acting. The wisdom of that hesitation cannot be questioned. The United States, in view of the mystery that attaches to the destruction of the battleship, and the mystery that is not yet cleared, would have made a colossal blunder had it acted hastily. The matter was one to be investigated, and it is still being probed by a competent board of inquiry and by the divers who were soon set at work. Until it is known exactly what caused the disaster there is nothing to do but wait.
 In the meantime, however, the ad- ministration has not been idle, and VI are today in better condition to

THE LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER.

A locomotive engineer should be one of the most truthful of men. That's why this little story of southern en- gineer should be believed implicitly.
 You may talk as you please about red-headed women,' he was saying to [ group of listeners, ''but red-headet woman saved my life and established [; home for herself all at once. I was g then and running a freight on tho Chesapeake & Ohio in the West Virginia mountains, where it took talent to TUT an engine. My division ended at Hin ton and a red-headed girl lived six miles to the east, where there was 6 siding near a big cut and fill, and it was a bad place, Is the road was new.
 ''The girls name was Maggie Conroy and she had the reddest head I ever saw on a human beings shoulders outside of a torchlight procession. But didn'; care for that and did care for Maggie One sunshiny day I was coming dowr the track with a stock train loaded with some extra fine cattle and sheen and 1 had in the caboose three of the owners. It had been raining and wash outs were looked for, but hadn't seen any and was bowling along at a good speed when all of sudden at the curve I thought I saw a red light rising just over the track. It seemed to shine like q blaze in the track and before I took time for a thought I had shut off the steam, whistled down the brakes and was doing my best to stop.
 ,'Right then my fireman gave me the ha ha in a way to chill the blood in the veins of a man who can't stand teas ing and took a look forward and found that the red light thought saw was only Maggie's head of red hair sticking up in advance as she pulled herself up the steep embanl1ment to get on to the track. With an oath I opened every thing again, but as I did so Maggie threw up her hands and dropped in a dead faint by the track and I stopped off everything again, for I felt sure that something was wrong. had half an hour or so leeway between trains and I took Maggie up as quickly as I could to find out W hat was the matter She came around mighty soon, because she had tainted from overeXertion, and she told me how a big bowlder had fallen on the track in curve near her -20use that I wouldn't have seen till it WIS too late to stop and she had run across the spur of the mountain to stop ne in time if she could.
 "l hats what she was trying to do when her red head shone like danger signal aud stopped me. Later the own CTS of tie stock gave her money enough to buy . nice little house at Hinton and six months later I moved in. We've got the house yet, but we don't live in it, 5 concluded the engineer, flor it wasn't big enough for a family of six children and not a red-headed one in the lott Washington Star.

The Critic calls attention to a list O. books for boys and girls from IA to IS years old, in which the names of Thackeray, Eickens, Jane Austen, Lamb, Hawthorne, Holmes, Longfel- low and Lowell do not appear. And yet the Critic says that it is a good list. Possibly it is, after a fashion; that is to say, there may be in it no positively objectionable books But this is after all a poor standard of merit. What our young people need is not merely innocuous reading They should be led towards cultivation of a taste for the best; and this means something more than avoiding the worst

protect ourselves than we have been at any time since modern methods of warfare and defence came into use. Nothing has been lost by the delay to which the virulent hot-heads and un- thinking and irresponsible blather- sixties so vehemently object. But the nation has gained much by the policy of waiting and the determination to know. We have won the respect of every nation on earth, and it is note worthy that foreign newspapers, gen. orally so quick to criticise the United have been withholding criticism. In every way the United States has strengthened itself in the eyes of the world. If we have a grievance against Spain or against Spanish subjects there is yet time enough to state that grievance, and to state it in a way that cannot be misunderstood.
 Justice Harlan of the United States supreme court, in an address a few days ago to the students of the Co1um- bian university at Washington, spoke as follows:
 I am sure that can give you no be- ter advice than to warn you to keep cool, not to pass judgment upon grave subjects unless you have all of the facts before you. If there is anything our profession teaches, it is to wait until a case is presented before you reach a final conclusion You will un- derstand very well to what I refer A great calamity has occurred in the wa ters near by. It is idle for any man to say that he knows how that calam- ity occurred, and any man belitt es his nature and lowers himself in the estimation of his fellow men when he expresses the anxiety that it will turn out that it was not an accident, but that it was treachery, rather than an accident. Brave, generous men do not want to think so badly of their fel- low men.
 We don't want to believe that that was an act of treachery and duplicity; we hope it will turn out otherwise And we ought all to have this feeling, that if it turns out to be an accident, we should rejoice; if it turns out not to be accident, we will not hear any more of north, south east or west, no more republicans. democrats or popu- lists. We will hear only of Ameri- cans
 This advice is in direct line with the position taken by the rational newspapers of the country which have stood firmly and faithfully behind the administration. Justice Harlan speaks not only as a jurist, but as a good American. He recognizes the folly of becoming excited and acting rashly, and he recognizes the wisdom of first being right before going ahead. He discusses the question from a legal standpoint, yet perfectly willing to discuss it from a patriotic standpoint when it becomes necessary. We com mend the words of Justice Harlan to every true American citizen as com bining sound judgment and the proper spirit of patriotism.

It now looks as if there will soon be plenty of work for all the idle men in this vicinity-the Big Bug railroad builders will employ about 300 men; the Prescott water works builders will need a large force also, should that proposed measure obtain.-Prescott Courier.
 Tut, tut, old man! You are getting on dangerous ground. First we know you will be praising the men who made it possible to secure these good things for Arizona. Better stick to your calamity howl. It will be far easier for you, and much more enier- taining.

In the event of war the people of New England would be especially af- fected. Their long line of ractically unfortified coast, dotted with prosper ous and wealthy cities, would offer tempting opportunities to an enemy who must make his attack upon us by sea, if at all. But there is no Occa- sion for great alarm. The preparations now making at the navy department are ample; and there is good reason to believe that our naval force, small as it may be and deficient in some par ticulars, would be able to police the coast thoroughly and effectively and afford all needed protection to cities like Boston and Newport.

There is no official record of any reference to the governors of North and South Carolina in the proceedings, but if some pos abilities come to pass it may be a very long time between drinks of this character at the Spanish capital.

A CHASTITY DISCOVERY.
Decomposed Body of White Woman
Found in Kentucky.

FULTON, KY,-The decomposed
body OF woman was found in thick
ct in Will Thompson's field, about 800
yards outside the city limits, late Sut.
urday afternoon. Grant DeMeyers,
Jim Witt and Ed Boland were out
bird hunting, and DeMeyers stumbled
over the body. The corpse was lying
IN thicket not over twenty steps from
the public road. There was little of
the body except the skull, hair and
bones, though the clothing was well
preserved. Drs. Alexander and Yates
expressed the opinion that the party
had been dead for two months, or per-
haps longer. A garter was found
around one of the leg bones. The
dress was of dark goods and in fairly
good condition. The shoes were about
2! size and laced. They had consid-
cradle mud on the soles, showing that
the woman had walked in the mud.
Some ashes and a few ha!f-burned
fagots showed that a fire had been
built within few feet of where the
woman was lying. The doctors ex-
amined the skull and stated that it
was sound. They were of the opinion
that the body was that of young
white woman. The hair of the corpse
was light brown.
The entire affair is shrouded in
mystery. The officers know of no
woman near here that has been miss
ing. This leads them to the opinion
that the body is that of some woman
lured here and murdered. They are
all agreed that there has been murder.
