In fact, in a residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat, and they recovered. Their condition, however. was more the result of whisky than heat. The air is SO dry here that registered temperature of i10 degrees is not as oppres- siye as 50 degrees in St. Louis or New York. this fact and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be fulls 90 degrees. At nearly all times there is Q pleasant breeze; the nights are invariably performed without serious discomfort to either man or beast on the warmest days. Very seIfiom does the thermometer get be- low the freezing point in winter, and in the gaTt!sirs of Florence to-day are castor bean plants tYo years or more old.

Col. Wood walked along his lines, dis

and sent another detachment into the
open space on the left of the trail
Lieut.-Col. Roosevelt led the former de-
tachment and tore through the brush
urging his men on. The shots came
thicker and faster every moment, and
the air seemed filled with the singing
and shrieking sound Of the Mauser bull
let's, while the short pop Of the Spanish
rifles could be distinguished easily from
the heavier reports of the American
weapons. Sometimes the fire would
come in volleys and again shots would
follow each other In rapid succession
for several minutes.
Capt Capron stood behind his men,
revolver in hand, using 1t whenever

was sure and two of the enemy were

The receivers Of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad have turned their atten-
tion to the improvement of the grades
on the third division, from Cumber-
land to Grafton, or rather that portion
which lies between Altamont. the top
of the seventeen-mile grade, and Ter
ra Alta, where the Cranberry grade be-
gins to descend. The line passes
through Deer Park and Oakland and
crosses what is known as the "Glades'
of the Allegheny Mountains. The
grades are short and choppy, some or
them being so to S5 feet to the mile.
One of the first pieces of work to be
done is now in progress at No. 5s Cut,
where the grade is being reduced from
81 feet to 421s feet per mile, with equa-
tions for curvature. 1t is expected
that the cutting down of this grade
will enable the receivers to increase
the train load from 1000 tons to 1900
tons on east-bound trains. One mile
of the roadway will be lowered and it
is expected that the work will be COM
pleted by the middle of October.

troop was badly disconnected for a mo-
ment but, with all the strength he
could muster, he cried, Don't mind
me. boys; go on and fight" He was
carried from the field as soon as pos
sible, and lived only few hours. Lieut..
Thomas, of the same troop, received
wound through the leg soon afterward,
and became delirious from pain. The
troops that were in the thicket were
not long in getting into the midst Oh
the fight. The Spaniards located them
and pressed them hard, but they sent
n deadly fire in return, even though
most of the time they could not see the
enemy. After ten or fifteen minutes
of hot work the firing fell off some
what. and Lieut.. Col. Roosevelt order
ed his men back from the thicket into
the trail, narrowly escaping a bullet
himself which struck n tree alongside
his head.
1t was evident that the Spaniards
we're falling back and changing their
position, but their fire continued at in
tervals. Then the troops tore to the
front and into more open country than
where the enemy's fire was coming
from. About this time small squaos
commenced to carry the wounded from
the thicket and lay them in a more
protected spot on the trail until they
could be moved to the field hospital.
Col. Wood also ordered his Hotchkiss
gun into action, but the trooper who
rode the mule upon which part of the
gun was packed had been stampeded
His animal broke into the woods in
the opposite direction from the Span
ish fire, and the gun, consequently,
could not be used.

Mural Decorations.
Probably at no time in the worlds
history has so much attention been
paid to the interior decoration OF
homes as at present. No home, no
matter how humble. is without it's han

ments and make the, surroundings
more cheerful. The taste of the Amer
ican people has kept pace with the age
and almost every day brings forth
something new in the way of picture,
draping. piece of furniture or other
form of mural decoration. One of the
latest of these has been given to the
world by the celebrated artist, Muville,
in series Of four handsome porcelain
game plaques. Not for years has any,
thing as handsome in this line been
seen The subjects represented by
these plaques are American Wild
Ducks, American Pheasant, American
Quail and English Snipe. They are
handsome paintings and are especially
designed for hanging on dining-room
walls. though their richness and beauty
entities them to n place in the parlor
of any home. These original plaques
have been purchased at a cost of $780,
600 by j. G. Hubinger Bros. Co., man
ufacturers of the celebrated Elastic
