FULL TEN POUNDS. Sidney NJ.
Painter, employed at Ezra w. Thay
er's hardware store, has been the
proud parent of ten-pound boy since
early yesterday morning. There has
been no wild guessing about the !
weight, as there is in most cases in |
which six and ten pound infants are !
fraudulently held cut to the world as
weighing ten pounds. This youthful |
Painter has been actually weighed on |
a pair of reliable scales and the weight
doesn't include any clothing worth
speaking of. 1t is mostly all boy.
WORK ON CAPITOL BUILDING
All the granite work on the capitol
building has been finished. Some of
the carved tufa has been put in place
on the second story, giving faint
idea of the ornate character of the
structure when it is finished. The
work of the stone saw mill is not
quite satisfactory. 1t is doubtful if
it will not cost mere to dress the stone
by the machinery than by hand. The
main advantage in the use of the saw
at all times is in the saving of stone.
In this case the stone costs SO little
hat the advantage is hardly apparent.
HOT WAVE PRODUCES COLD
of the most direful re-
suits of the present warm spell is a
,oolness in many Phoenix families,
which may end in a. breaking off OF
marital relations About two weeks {
lgo the weather got pleasant and
many husbands whose wives who were G
IN sea coast and mountain, wrote to
hem that the veFtebrae of the sum-
ner of 1899 had been permanently dis I
coated. Soon after that the tide of
wives turned toward Phoenix and c
washed up against a hot spell, the like I
# which the oldest timer had never
cen in the valley at this season of c
he year. :
BASE BALL. The Cyclone base
'all team has been carrying a chip
round on its shoulder for some time, q
nd not long ago called the attention |
Il the True Blue team to the fact
through the columns of this paper t
he True Blues issued a manifesto at S
nee, followed by declaration of war
1ostilities will begin next Sunday af- L
ernOon at O'Clock at Phoenix park. r
fifty dollars will be put up by each
cam as an incentive for the other a
lde to ''play ball" The Cyclones rep n
esent the professional element of the a
olored society of the city, and the
rue Blues claim to have a corner on
II the base ball science possessed by :
he Mexican citizens of Phoenix i
MORE CATFISH. Harry George,
tho has been running the Tempe
otel during the visit of A McCamley X
} the coast, has returned to Phoenix. +
#. George never comes back to Phoe-
tx without having something to tell. Il
he latest is that a week ago last N
unday Tom Kelly of Tempe went Il
yer beyond, the butte on a fishing ex- Il
edition. Mr.. Kelly did not care SO Il
luch about the quantity of fish he Il
Iuld catch as he did for the quality. L.
