The Ohio Canal.
From the Yuma sentinel.l


 Col. II. J. Cleveland and Judge Holcomb returned from B trip to the site of the Ohio canal on last Monday, and after consultation with Mir. o. Schetter, secretary and treasurer, and other directors of the company, it was decided to commence active work on the canal at once. Mir. c. O. McCarroll. vice-president, and Geo. U. Holcomb. General Manager of the company, will start on Monday next for the scene of future operation with a force of men and teams and the work will be pushed to completion as fast as men and money will do it. Col. Cleveland, who is president of the company, made his first visit to the site last week and tells us that it is far more fattering proposition than he was able to con ceive of until he had examined the ground for himself, and he assures us that there will be no Hull in the work until water is actually on the fertile lands of the Cibola valley.

How She Figured It.
From the Detroit Free Press.]


 Orlando" she said, 'I am afraid you are getting tired of having me ask you for money?"
 "Well, you see," he answered, s'I have good deal of expense to meet just at this time of the year, and it does seem once in 8 while that women don't make enough allowance fer that sort of thing
 "Well, " she answered, "I've thought of a way that will fix it all very nicely,p
 ''What is it?''
 Whenever you go to the barber shop and the boy brushes you off, you give him dime, don't you?''
 "Yes."
 "And when you go away from home at hotel anda boy brings ice water you give him dime, don't your"
 "Yes."
 "And mixed drink costs 15 cents ?" 'sOf course" "Well, you've often said that women have no head for arithmetic, but am going to convince you to the contrary. I am going to learn to make your fa- vorite mixed drinks. That,ll be l5 cents day. Then I'll bring you ice water in the morning. That'll be 10 cents. And then I'll brush your clothes off with whisk broom, and that'll be | 10 cents more. There's 35 cents per day. I've figured it all out on this little piece of paper. Three hundred and sixty-fve days in a year-that's 365 times 35, which makes $127.75. If you will give nae that without my asking for it, just as you do the bell-boy and the bartender, can put it with my regular housekeeping allowance and manage to get along much better.

A Perfect Understanding.
From the Los Angeles Rxpres..l 1

From the Los Angeles Express.l
 "Do you know" remarked an East erner in the lobby of the Westminster to g. Los Angeles man, "I think you must have pretty good police force in Los Angeles. There is no gambling, am informed"
 "Well," said the Los Angeles man, ''the Chinese will play fan tan and the poker joints manage to keep along in- side of the law, otherwise"
 "Yes, but there are no real gambling places with faro games, roulette wheels and all that.''
 ''No; none."
 "You ought to see the state of things in Chicago now. There is the most perfect understanding between the police and the gamblers. New York in the palmiest days of Tammany was no worse. Let me give you an example of how the thing works-one that happens to have come directly under my notice:
 'I have summer place in the north ern part of Wisconsin on the lake, and as we spend several months of the year there I naturally make some little acquaintance in the town. One day not long ago one of the leading citizens came into my Chicago office in a great state of agitation, and after reminding me of his name and location, which had forgotten, he tumbled into chair and began to weep.
 Little by little the story came out. He was 8 prominent member of 8 certain church in this Wisconsin town which had been saving up money for several years to buy an organ. When they had gotten $500 together, they sent him down to Chicago with the cash to negotiate for the instrument.
 "sI haven't drunk drop since was very young man, said he between his tears, but last night some men l never saw before met me and persuaded me to take something, and then they got me into a big place where there were all sorts of gambling machines, and 1 played the money and lost every cent. They gave me back go to get home with and kicked me out
 "'Do you know Mhere the place is ? inquired.

cuha,R Population.

There are-or were before the war about ,000, 900 Cnbans on the island, 200, 900 Spaniards (which mean those born in Spain), and less than half million of negroes and mixed blood. The Cuban whites are of pure Spanish blood, and, like the Sprniards, usually dark in complexion, but oftener light or blond, so far as noticed, than the Spaniards. The percentage of colored to white has been steadily diminishing for more than 50 years, aud is now over z5 per cent of the total. In fact the number of colored people have been ac- tually diminishing for nearly that time. The Cuban farmer and laborer is by nature peaceable, kindly, gay, hospitable, light-hearted and improvi- dent. One thing that was new to me, was to learn the superiority of the well to-do Cuban over the Sponiard in the matter of education. Among those in good circumstances there is no doubt that the Cuban is far superior in this respect. They have been educated in Fnglsnd, France or this country. while the spaniard has only such education as his own co untry furnished.
 The colored people seem by nature quite the equal, mentally and physi- cally, of the race in this country. Ger tainlv. physically, they are by far the larger and stronger race on the island. There is little or no race prejudice, and this has doubtless been greatly to theix advantage.

Bob Burdette is said to be the author of this: "The good things of this world are always the cheapest. Spring water costs less than whisky; box of cigars will buy two or three bibles; barrel of brandy costs more than a barrel of fiour; full hand in poker often costs a man more in thirty seconds than his church subscription in three years. A town election costs more than re- vival of religion; people sleep an hour in church free, but nap in a Pullman car costs $1.50 to t2."

I wouldn't give one of your sock-darning woman for all the society women in the country. Between cutting of the top of their dress for ball room and the bottom for the bicycle, these wo- men will soon have no clothes left. A man ssid tc society woman: T hope I'll see more of you.

FREIGHT RATES FIRM
ALL THE LINES SAID TO BE CARRY
ING TRAFFIC. AT TARIFF.
A Fast Run from Boston to This City
The Illinois Central Introduce
ing Electric Power.

General freight agents. managers and
their subordbates believe that freight rates.
especially east-bound, are now in the best
shape at any time in several years. On
Aug. Is rates on provisions, in which the
generalization had been the most pro-
nounced, were restored to tariff, and it is
GAINED that all lines of traffic are being
carried at better rates than for some time
Iest i'm all directions. 1t is thought the pro-
posed consolidation of fast freight lines has
had something to do with bringing rates
into line. A freight agent said yesterday:
1T is safe to say that whenever rates are
held at tariff at Chicago, st. Louis and Pc
oria they will be at Indianapolis, but when
at these points rates are cut it's hard to
hold them in line at Indianapolis. There is
one good trait about indianapolis shippers;
they are all willing to pay reasonable rates.
and are satisfied with the present tariff,
providing the shippers at Chicago, st. Louis
and Peoria are given no better rate pro-
portonately than Indianapolis. With the in
creasing freight traffic ard rates held to
tariff some highly satisfactory earnings
may be looked for, net as we'll as gross, as
the roads are now in excellent condition to
handle all business offered promptly and
at lower transportation cost than at any
former period, so large a percentage of the
cars now have 60, 900 pounds carrying capac-
fly and so greatly has the power been i'm
proved. The locomotive of the present day
Eauis fifty loaded cars as easily as the To-
Ccmotive of a few years ago hauled twenty
five. Track conditions have been greatly
improved by reducing grade and taking out
curves. and all conduce to handling business
to the best advantage"
