1t was RemenyI's first appearance
here on the vaudeville stsge. As tie
great artist appeared and was greet

bowed his acknowledgment and
seemed immensely pleased at the
reception given him.

was 10 be the elimination OF his
career and he had determined that
his final appearance should mark his
greatest triumph. He rose to the
occasion magnifcently and his 5000
auditors, as he approached his
climax, literally rose with him, leav-
ing their seats in their excitement,
completely carried away by his
achievement.
When the music ceased, the house
was swept with "A wild torrent of
braves The applause was almost
desfening, and continued for several
minutes. Remenyi and his accom-
PIANIST, E. S. Rosner, came forward
and in response to another burst OF
applause the great violinist com.

He had just completed few bars
of the difficult lingering, when he
leaned forward as if to speak to one
OF the musicians in the orchestra,
continuing his piece. He seemed to
pause for a minute and then slowly
: fell forward on his face. One of the
: musicians caught him just before he
touched tho stage and prevented him
from rolling of. All was over. He
was carried from the stage and ply.

Manila" he said, sis a pleasant
place in which to live, and the whole
OF the island Of Luzon is inhabited
by a people who are seldom sick. or
course the island is subject to vista
lions Of the bubonic plague and
tropic epidemic. but as a whole the
island is healthy and the United

Dear Reader, don blame US five hear EN- say
What happens you.
Arizona republican., 1898-11-19

the city usually has extensive grounds
 or perhaps a park lies near at hand,
 and these prisoners are worked the
 full time of their sentence. Here in Arizona our prisoners have fine time. They are furnished all the chewing g and smoking tobacco they want and all the floor room they need to spit on. There are at all times a number of these prisoners in the county jail who
 might be putting in their time fixing up these roads. The county usually spends all the money it is allowed in repairing the roads of the county, and it is doubtful if the supervisors can spare several thousand dollars at this time for the improvement of the roads leading into Phoenix We have but one nice drive and that is Center street We ought to have several fine roads of this sort in the valley, and am glad that The Republican is agi- tating the matter"
 H. c. Yaeger thinks that the county has let the roads remain in a bad con- dition long enough and the time is now ripe. fer a general improvement in every direction. "It means a great deal to a city," said he whether the roads leading into it are bad or good. I think that every one in the city WOulu lhS IO see IOduS IIhe OeHlSl street throughout the valley, and it is only matter of time when we will have them, but the question now is how soon will the good work begin? The result Of the agitation of good roads in the east has given some of the eastern and middle states excellent country thoroughfares, and 1 think The Republican is taking the right step in stirring up the people to a point where they will demand improvement in the roads of the valley. The Yuma and Glendale roads are especially bad, and they no doutl should be the first to receive attention
 The Republican reporter talked with a number of other business men and they all expressed the same opinion in regard to the betterment of the valley roads.
