Greatest locomotive on Earth.

For a long time engine No. 999 of the Empire State Express was the greatest locomotive on earth. But No. 22l on the Boston and Albany road took the palm away from the old one. She was never equsled ID the run from Boston to Springfield, seventy miles, until the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy got the mon ster. No. l591. The Albany's engine weighs l26 tons, and the Burling tons l27 tons; the drivers of the one are 6 feet 2 inches, and of the other : feet and l of an inch; No. 22l hsuls a train weighing 3l0 tons, and the Burlington's Empire pulls one weighing 37I tons; the compound cylinders of the one are 22134 inches, and of the other 23x26 inches; No. 22I carries eight tons of coal and 45OO gallons of water; the other takes twelve tons of coal and 5000 gallons of water; both engines have the same steam pressure of DO pounds to the square inch. On its first trip with the Denver flyer No. I591 pulled a solid vestibule train of two mail cars, one composite library and smoking car, two sleeping ears. a dining car and two reclining chair csrs-a load siXty-one tons in excess of that drawn by the eastern engine. Soon the Burlington's record of ninety miles an hour with the old 59O and the fast mail may be made to read 100 miles.

Virtue Has its Own Reward.

The accompanying little story published in an eastern educatiOna journal, is said to have been writer by boy in the west, one of a clas: of children of six or eight years old who had been requested by theil teacher to write story, they to Sc lect a subject and their composition: not to be changed by their teacher but to be read before the children parents exactly as written. This is one of the number submitted. And the writer IS expected to become a great story writer:
 A poor young man fell in love with the daughter of a rich lady who kept candy shop. The poor young man could not marry the rich candy ladY's daughter because he had not enough money to buy furniture. A wicked man offered to give the young man S25 if be would become 8 drunkard. The young man wanted the money very much, but when he got to the saloon he turned to the wicked man and said: Il will not become a drunkard even for great riches. Get thee behind me, Satan" {"
 On his way home he found a pocket book containing a million dollars in gold; then the young lad ' consented to marry him. They had a beautiful wedding and the next day they had twins. Thus you see that virtue has its own reward.

Surprised Their Friends.

4 little surprise party was given in the parlors of Hotel Burke last evening. J. E. Morrison and Miss Jennie Willis were the principals in the affair, the surprise being in the nature of a ceremony which made them man and wife. While gossip had, for some time, been to the effect that such an event was pend ing the date of 1t was not given out and very few knew of 1t until after it had happened.
 The ceremony was performed in the presence of only a few of the many friends of the young couple. The groom is 6 well known and ris- ing young attorney. the junior mem- Der of the firm of Morrison & Morri- son, and the bride IS also well known here, having resided here fo: several months, and is 6 sister of Attorney Willis of Pheni1, her parents resid- ing in San Bernardino, California, where her father was for several wears 8 judge of the courts.
 The couple left on this mornings s train for California on their bridal tour. The JoURNAL-M MINER joins their many friends in extending congrat- ulations.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF JURIEs.

District court met today. Tbe grand and trial juries as well as the officers of the court have grave re- responsibilities resting upon their shoulders. Never in the history of the county, it is said, has the county jail contained as large q number of prisoners at enc time as are confined there at present. All grades of crime are represented, but a serious problem and one which calls for prompt and firm action on the part of all those connected with the court, is the large number charged with murder. That a man is charged with crime is not evidence that he is guilty. But that 6 number of cold blooded and wanton murders have been committed in the county of late is a fact undisputed. It is the duty of courts to probe these cases to their bottom and to ascertain if possible the guilty parties and bring them to justice. Human lie has come to be considered of too little value, and juries through a maudlin seutimentality are to very large degree responsible for it. Some of the most red handed murderers that eyer disgraced any community have escaped with a few years confne- ment in the territorial penitentisry. Murderously inclined people should be taught the true value of human life. and that it cannot be taken in Yavapai county without expecting to pay the full penalty imposed by law for such q crime. It is in the power of our citizens who are called upon to do jury duty to check this crime. or it Is in their power to en- courage it. If their sworn duty Is performed fearlessly 1t will tend largely to produce the former re- suits.

No More Liquor to Employee!

The Southern Pacific company has just issued very sweeping order which forbids the sale of liquor at restaurants connected with the de pots where such restaurants are rented from the railroad companies. As nearly every restaurant along the road IS rented from the railroad company the order has a very wide scope. The main purpose of the in novation is to prevent the trainmen from drinking while on duty. At the same time the order will cut of a large portion of the revenue of the railroad company, for at the many stations along the road rents for res taurants have largely increased after the proprietors have obtained H. censes to sell liquors.

HUNTING FOR NEW ISSUES.

The following from the St. Louis Globe-Democrat is very pertinent st the present time:
 Nothing at the democratic feast in St. Louis was more significant than the disposition of the orators to talk about trusts and say as little as pos sible about silver. It thundered over the other issues on all occasions. At the democrat banquet in St. Louis silver amounted to hardly a squeak. The most devoted Missouri champions of free coinage were not present nor were they wanted. They would have been certain to whoop up the old ratio and that would have violated the proprieties of the occa- sion as arranged. But the noise made about trusts was prodigious. Not that silver will be dropped from the next democratic national plat form. Nor would it be ignored by a democratic president. But 1t IS recognized as bad politics for cam paign uses. It has had its day as an attraction for voters. sustained high fall and alienA,ed large party ele- ment. It smells of disastrous defeat if not of mortality.
 Eloquence about trusts mounted into a flood. By some process of reasoning not explained the repub- llcan party was denounced as the parent and protector of trusts. As republican national platforms have stated the contrary and distinctly antAgonized trusts the democratic speakers elubbed a man of straw they had rigged up for the edihca- ton of persons who are easily fooled Altgeld, wto is seriously for another silver campaign, was not one of the heroes of this democratic demon strstion. He was plainly under 8 cloud, and from this time forth will be kept in the background unless he tones himself down on the old ratio. No doubt the Chicago platform will be reafirmed in some fashion next year. Silver will be in it, but not ss the paramount issue in words that burn. Trusts will be the speciality for 1900, a hollow mockery as all democratic platforms are in practice, but still 6 subject on which Bryan can work up crowds with his sccus- toned shallow deception.

 The woJs of decorating graves was not confined to those of veterans but the custom was universally observed by the fuends aud relatives of very many others of those who sleep their last sleep ID the various cemeteries.
 It was noticed in going through tb- cemeteries that one of the best kept graves to be fOuud ID them IS that of the late Mrs James Howey whose husband has sodded it over nicely and keeps it green by carrying water tO irsigate the grass and pre- vent i' from whitening.

THE GREEN RAY"
To Be Seen FreauentIy at the Delta
 Of the Nile.


 Of the Nile.
 The 'sereen ray" an optical phenom- enon which has been made the founda- ton of 6 story by Jules Verne, is 8 aash of greenish light seen as the limb of the sun rises or sets under certain conditions of the atmosphere The sea horizon Is good for observing it, but the effect is occasionally seen in the Alps or other mountains, and. according to Plot Bey in paper to the Academic des Sciences, Paris, it is often to be observ- ed in Egypt from the point of the del ia to Alexandria or Suez. either at rise or set of sun
 The ray is distinctly visible, and al ways of an emerald green. which Is brighter as . rule at sunrise than sun set. At sunset. when the eye can follow the effect better. the ray sometimes ap- pears longer and ultimately takes blue tinge. This Blue ray has also been ob- served preceding the green ray at sun risa, for example, by Mir. William Gaf, near the ruins of Memphis, not far from the stepped pyramid of Saggarah- He  even thinks the ancient Egyptians were familiar with 1t. because in monuments of the fifth dynasty and others the sign of "Kha. representing the rising sun, has the outer streak of blue color and the two inner streaks are green Their writings also speak of the greenness of the sun on rising, and they hken 1t to fn emerald
 It is evident from all this that the ''green ray is an objective. not a sub jective. phenomenon, and that the hori- Eon of the sea has nothing to do with it. Nevertheless. the state of the atmos- phere evidently has to do with it, and that of Egypt. ordinarily pure, seems to have much. for the ray is seldom seen elsewhere on land
