Arizona republican., 1899-02-28


 was waiting to see what the Chinaman
 was going to do about 1t. Tan Hong
 will rely upon the fact that the Amer 1can constitution was amended the fifteenth time, without his knowledge
 and consent and that he is therefore
 not responsible for it. If it had not
 been so amended, Gordon would have | known better than to come into his
 restaurant, so that whatever he may
 have suffered of humiliation and hun
 ger is due wholly to that unwarranted tinkering with the constitution.
 NOT A RELIGIOUS CENTER.-Sal-
 vation Army workers say that Prescott
 is an enigma There is no place on the coast where the army is more cordially
 received, and there is no place the same size, where so many War Cries
 are so regularly sold, but that is the
 end of it. The army has been hammering away for
 several years without con verting a single resident. This is dis
 couraging. It is desirable of course, to sell War Cries, but the army wasn't organized by General Booth for the sole purpose of booming the circuIa- tion of that excellent journal.
 THE VANDERBILT SPECIAL.-A brace of very prominent gentlemen were in Arizona yesterday. One Of them was w. K. Vanderbilt and the other his brother-in-law, Dr. w. Se- ward Webb. They have been quietly touring southern California during the latter part of the cold spell in the east. They are travelling on a special train accompanied by several friends. The special east bound was at Maricopa at eight o'clock last night, but did not remain long enough for Perry Will Hams to exhibit his famous Arizona red bat. This is especially to be re- gretted since Dr. Webb is something of an amateur ornithologist.
 MODERN NIMRODS.-S. c. Dunlap and William Solomon of the Santa t'e office made a trip on the Sunday m orn- ing freight to Hillside to spend the day with Geo. Dunlap, a cousin of the former. The morning was very pleas antly spent in rolling stones off a high eminence, but in the afternoon the party participated in a less monoton- ous vocation. They resolved them selves into nimrOds and sought to de- spoil the quail. Mir. Solomon was successful in discovering the remains of a quail beneath a bush and his eX- citement increased to such an extent that his shot gun was prematurely eX- plOded. He accounts for the phenOm- l non of the explosion by producing his game, as evidence of his markmanship. |
 SAW KANSAS CITY CROW Among the late arrivals in town is MT. 1 P. M. Kratser of Kansas City. MT. l kratser says that when he first saw i Kansas City, he could cover the town | site with a horse blanket There was ! n fact, no Kansas City. That was ! ifty-nine years ago, and MT. Kratser | ives now where he lived then. The { own was started some distance away l rom the old Kratser homestead, but | t kept coming, until it swallowed it up md now it is a mile and a half inside he city limits. The encroaching city lad the same difficulties to contend | with at first, that Phoenix has. There were old-timers who didn't want the abbit and wild turkey pre- serves interferred with, and objected generally to the { own trying to spread over all crea- ion. But the new blood was aggres- i've and the town grew and these of he old-timers who are still alive are glad of it and proud of it.
 IN THE NEW QUARTERS. All of he services of the Christian church n Good Templars hall on Sunday were attended by increased audiences, and II expressed themselves as well ,leased with the hall, which is light nd airy and double the size of the old hurch. The choir of twelve voices ed by Choirister Grouse rendered sev- ral excellent selections, while MT. Kosher, late of Pomona, sang beau iful solo at the evening service. The musical ability Of the church has been ,reatly augmented by the arrival Of fessrs. Mosher and Campbell of Pc nona, Cal who have come to Phoenix 0 locate. They have been members of
 male chorus of sixteen voices in the Christian church at Pomona. male uartette has been formed with Messrs. Iosher and Campbell as tenors and rouse and Walbridge as bassos. They ang their first selection on Sunday light and made a decided hit. They 7iW sing regularly at Sunday services ereafter
 THE COLDEST HOUR.-The cold st time of Sunday was between l and
 o'clock in the morning. The fact would probably not have been so eV1- ent had it not been for an experience f Professor A. J. McClatchle. Be ween the rows of trees at the eXper1- lental farm is placed vessels ct coal which are lighted at times of extreme old. The object is to heat the air and void frost Early Sunday morning dr. McCfatchie noticed that the ther-7 lometer was very low, and he accord ngly betook himself from his bed and epaired post-haste to the farm. Ar wing there he awakened the residents nd preparations were made to ward if the expected frost. The thermOm- ter was watched closely and it was nally seen to register 34 degrees. !
