LONDON, Sept. 29.-Owing to
the reticence of Ministers there
are various stories current today.
1t is asserted with some show of
authority that the dispatches re-
ceived necessitate further COM
munication with Sir Alfred Mil
ner and the reassembling of the
Cabinet next Tuesday before the
new. proposals of the British Gov.
ernment can be definitely settled.
Officers at Woolwich this even
ing believe that an army corps
will be started for South Africa
about October 7th with General
Sir Redvers Butler. There appears
to be unusual excitement in the
Admiralty Department. George
j, Goschen, First Lord of the Ad.
miralty, was busily engaged there
for the greater part of the day. 1t
is rumored that unexpected COM
plications have arisen and that
extensive preparations are to be
made to guard against contin-
gencies.
LONDON, Sept. 30.-It is re-
ported that the Indian contingent
has sealed orders to land at Del
agoa bay.
RumOrs are current this morn

Beers will take the initiative Mon
day on the border east and west
of Charlestown.
1t is said that Prince Christian
Victor of Schleswig- Holstein, who
is major in the Kings Royal
Rifle Corps, has been ordered to
South Africa on special service.
He served in the Ashantee and
Nile campaigns.
The official statement that no
information will be given respect
ing military movements is inter-
preted to mean important move

is actively chartering transports
in every direction. The exigen.
cies of the transport service are
likely to necessitate the continued

Should the statement published

"A MIDNIGHT BELL"

Charles H. HOyt has written good
 many plays and amongst them "A
 Texas Steer "A Milk White Flag
 and "A Temperance Town" come read fly to mind, but it is claimed by some
 Of Hoyt's admirers that "A Midnight
 Bell" produced last evening at the Patton Grand theater, is his best pro-
 duction and is likely to be more en-
 during than any of the others. In "A
 Midnight Bell'' Mir L. R. Stockwen,
 long and favorably known to all Cai-
 ifornians presented himself, supported
 by his own company, to a large and
 appreciative Phoenix audience. Mr. StCckwell enjoys an immense pOpu-
 larity in San Francisco and the eA- pectatiOns indulged in by the play goers of this city were not doomed t3 disappointment The incidents of tho comedy are strung upon a slender and somewhat hackneyed plCt, but as the author himself admits that it may ba urged that it is not a strong plot and that it is neither particularly inter- esting nor a very new one, but is aL any rate a modest and unassuming plot, nothing more need be said OF this score. But, if as Hoyt says when the agony is ever, it is found that the characters, scenes and incidents have been presented in an amusing fashion he will be perfectly satisfied, it must be conceded that in this regard there was no room for dissatisfaction on the part of author or audience last night. The incidents which developed them selves" were decidedly amusing, as the frequent applause and hearty laughter evoked by the presentmcnt of the comedy by MT. EtockweIl and his company bore witness. Mr Stock well is very clever comedian and an artist of more than ordinary abil- ity, as his careful subordination of what might have deg enerated into the farcical element most clearly proved His Deacon Lemuel Tidd, the local Poo Bah, will long remain in the recollec- tion of his Phoenix audience as a fin 1shed and artistic rendition Of de- lightfully amusing character II may be of interest to state that MT. Stock well created this role at the Alcazar, San Francisco, ten years ago, and it had well retained it's popularity, as only short time since (just before

his company commenced It's pres

 thusiastic audiences. The company
 by which he is supported is far above the average, and want of space alone
 prevents the extended individual mention which was well deserved but
 the minister's sister (Dot Bradbury or Miss Pearl Landers, must be made the one exception, as that talented young lady's performance was alto- gether charming. Miss Landers had acquired considc-aDie reputation III her performance of child parts and this, her first ingenue role, will ill no wise diminish. but rather add to her reputation. Just one word Of rec Cgnition must also be given to that de- licious country boy (Martin Tripp), whose presentation by Mr. Gus Tate added no little to the enjoyment Of the audience. Altogether it was 3 bright and clever production which gave unbounded satisfaction. The comedy will be repeated by desire tomorrow evening at popular prices (50 and p cents) and everybody who enjoys a hearty laugh should not fail to be present

PARIS STICKS FAST ON ROCKS.
Another Attempt to Release American
 Liner Failed Yesterday.

London, June 1.-Another attempt to float the steamer Paris from the rocks at LowIand Point, Cornwall, where she stranded week ago last Sunday morning, fail ed today The vessel was ightened as much as possible, even her. anchors and chains being removed to lessen the weight on her bow, where she is fast, and then. when the tide WIS at the top Of the flood, five tugs pulled at her, but they failed t. move her.
 It is asserted by lccal experts that the pinnacle of the rock on which the Paris ran is far through her plates, and that until it is blown away or the vessel is lifted clear of it she will remain fast. The after holds have been platformed at the oriop deck. Pumps have been placed on this plat form in order to fill the holds with water, and thus tip the bow of the steamer up so that it will clear the point of the rock.

lowed to be cn it's feet too young. Ii this is true of the limbs, it is none the less true regarding the eye. The scler0tic coats in the eyes of the child are thin and yielding. and constant strain consequent upon close work, whether it De cutting fantastic forms from c0lored paper, or reading print, causes certain internal pressure, the coats of the eye yield, the eyeball elongates and the child becomes my Opic. This myopia which is acquired is a disease and not to be confounded with the cOngenital variety, which, though inccnyenient is readily reme- died, and is in fact, a better eye fer close application than the far-sightcd and the normal eye.
 BADLY LIGHTED SCHOOLS.
 The acquired myopia ons the con trary, constantly increases in most cases. The coats thin as they yield and stretch, and low grade inf1amma- tions are set up, and in very many cases the eye goes on to. blindness or mere perception of light. AnOtker i'm pOrtant factor in causing eye trouble in school is the seating of children, and the lighting of the school rooms. In most schools the seating is very well done and the bad position IS less often seen in the city than the country schools, but with crowded school rooms the matter of lighting becomes something Of a problem. In order that the whole room shall have light the windows must be large and numerous and on all sides. The consequence of this is, the child in the window gets too much light while those nearer the middle of the room if they do not get too little, get no more than enough. This could be remedied by having shades raised from below, or having the lCWer part of the window of ground glass or it's substitutes, thus modifying the light fer those close at hand, and allowing the strong light to pass to he middle of the room. Shades would best answer the purpose but they would Ee apt to get out of order, and would be a temptation to Investigating minds and fingers. An objectiOn to the ground glass would be that it would shut out any view, but after all, this would not be a very valid Objec- tion and the ground glass would best answer the purpose.
