WAIT TILL HE HITS HlM
An Incident in a New York Cafe inc
 Nighf Sullivan Lost.

] Whenever I hear the bulletins of a prize fight read,'' said a man at the Star office, Friday night, T am re- minded of the m3notonous droning cry, everywhere. on the night when Sullivan met Corbett at New Orleans. It was
 Just wait till he hits him!' T was in Engle's cafe, in New Ycr1, that night. At the close of the first round man who stood on a chair in his eagerness to hear the bulletins read and see the reader, exclaimed ex- ultipgly:
 Just wait till he hits him.
 According to the bulletin the fistic idol rushed the nimble Corbett, who escaped; or he swung terrible blow at him and missed. The second round ended with the confident shout of the man on the chair:
 "'Just wait till he hits him,'
 'fBut the champion didn't hit him and horrid fear began to cast gloom over the crowd. The men were still as death while the bulletins were be- ing read and then babbled wildly in the pausas. However, many took up the cry of the man Cn the chair, say ing excitedly to each other: Just wait till he hits himl'
 Some exulted over the impending and imminent smash from Suliivan's deadly left or terrible right, and no one more than the man who stood on the chair. But the bulletins presently 1 became painful, for Sullivan still with- held landing that awful blow that would lay out the presumptuous Cor hett. Nevertheless the man on the chair tried to be cheerful and jocular and say, confidently, to those near by:
 Just wait till he hits him. "Corbett jabbed his left in face and got away. Corbett jabbed his right in the wind and got away. Ccrbett was always jabbing and getting away. Would Sullivan never hit him? Was the idol -wabbling to his fall? The man on the chair could net believe it and exclaimed ffercely:
 Just wait till he hits hini'
 f"The faces of the assembly were strangely grave within the eddies of tobacco smoke The man who read the bulletins choked up and could not read. Big drops of precipitation were smeared over his red face The read CT, who took his place, wns pale and his voice trembled Nobody offered bets. When the rounds closed always the same jabs' by Corbett and getting away always the same Sullivan tries for the wind and misses dead silence took the place of conversation, and, with startling distinctness, the de- spairing cry of the man Cn the chair, ran gout:
 " Just wait till he hits him.
 ''Even when the end was near, as plain as a man dying, and another bulletin came, and the reader held up his hand for silence although there was nothing but silence, the man on the chair, his eyes glistening, said, with dogged hope:
 '' Just wait till he hits him!'
 Unto the midst of a bulletin the reader waved the paper and cried 'Sul- livan outi' There was no response in the room. The crowd seemed dazed. Corbett wins, gentlemen added the reader. %.
 "'The man on the chair fell with crash and was carried out into the open air. A few minutes later an am- bulance turned the corner from Broad way. '-Kansas City Star.

THE PALISADES
Blame for Their Destruction Lies Win inc People or Two Sfafes.

The ruin of the Palisades being so
 deplorable, 1t is quite natural that the indignation Of those who are ke9nIy sensible of the loss should be in a large measure directed agairlst the contractors engaged in the business of their construction. They seem to be conducting their operations n a sing ularly ruthless manner, and the selec- ton of their chief points of attack even suggests the thought that they are eager to create the greatest pos SIble havoc in the shortest possible | time, so that when public sentiment becomes strong enough to assert it. self there will be nothing worth say ing. We do not say that this is their motive, for we have no positive proof that it is; but some of their work has that appearance. There is vast amount Of broken rCck already lying within convenient reach which might be prOit6iDly removed With Jess trouble than the process of blasting involves;
 but it is net touched, while the most picturesque parts of the cliff are sue cessively blown down. But neverthe- less, 1t is only fair to say that the blame for these acts of spoliation does net rest primarily on the men who directly commit them. They have ac- quired by lease or otherwise a legal right to do what they are doing They have made investments from which they want to deTtve profit It is true that many persons would much rather be engaged in almost any other busi- ness which the law tolerates than in the one we are considering, put so long as the people of New York and New Jersey neglect to take effectual measures for the preservation of the Palisades, because they are wholly in different, or 50 far indifferent as to be unwilling to pay comparatively small sum Of money to protect them, it is not altogether just to hold the con tractors Up to execration. At one time and another considerable interest in the uqeS.ion has been manifested by both states or at least by their legis- latures, and there was once a joint com mission appointed from whose en- deavors good results were expected. but whle the commission deliberated the destruction went on, and from it's recommendations nothing whatever has thus far resulted The plain fact is that interest in the preservation of the Palisades is not general and strong enough to accomplish the object cn which a minority is. and long has been, seriously intent That is the fatal feature of the situation, and it
 tells where the chief measure of the blame and discredit lies. It would be highly honorable, no doubt, in the quarry operators to stop blasting, let
 their investments take care of them
 selves, and give the people an object lsson in magnanimity. But isn't it too much to expect that they will show a deep and costly concern for the works of nature while a vast majority of thsir felIow-citizens show no con cern whatsoever ?-New York Tribune.

TUBERCULOSIS
 AND TRAINS

Our contemporary, The Railway Surgeon, in a recent number, calls at
 tention to the danger of infection by the tubercle bacillus to which railway travellers are exposed. It may be re- membered that in 1890 and 1891, when Kochs tuberculin discovery brought | large numbers of consumptiveS to Berlin. it was found that the carriages in which these sufferers had travelled had become infected. Since that time Petrf has made elaborate researches to determine whether the tubercle bacil- Jus is commonly present ii the dust of railway cars, in what class of carriage it is most frequent. and in what parts of the car the dust has the highest in fective properties. As might have been anticipated, the first and second classes were freer than the third and fourth, but dust from all of these was found to contain the specific germ of consumption. Of ninety-one guinea pigs inoculated with scrappings from the floors twenty-siX wer infected u is obvious that the floors of our rail way carriages, covered as they ire quently are with eXpectoration, seldom
 washed, never freely exposed to air or sunlight, are most fertile breeding grounds for the germs of consumption.
 The Prussian minister of pubic works has now made an order that all railway cars shall be cleansedD period- ically at specified depots. Carpets and upholstery must be treated with steam and all woodwork washed with potash soap, rinsed with water, and rubbed dry. We would suggest that q fur ther improvement in the hygiene of cars might be brought about by the adoption of leather or other imperyi- ous coverings for cushions. by the sl1b- st1tution of linoleum for the present Hoor carpeting, and by the provision CT splttoons for use, especially in the smoking carriages. The chief district sanitary inspector of Perthsbire points out that the new public health act for Scotland provides that the local sanitary authority may make bylaws TOT securing the cleanliness and sani- laFy condition of public conyeyancas piylng within its district" and indi- cates his intention of framing a code u D!-!aws to secure the much needed improvement. In view of the danenr tnas undoubtedly exists it is desirabIo that these powers should be extended 10 al! parts of the kingdom. and tha traYeIlng public protected from a periI %hlch, although unseen, is as real as that from collision or other rai1u,o1, accldents--The Hospital

THE ARIZONA SCHOOL OF MINES

In addition to the facilities for gen eral instruction in the arts of mining, metallurgy and assaying, this depart ment of the university IS provided with mill for working tres in large or small quantities from a few pounds weight to a ton or more. Mill tests can be made by either the small three stamp mill or by the large five stamp battery There are rolls for roller crushing, and :igs and Rittinger tables for concentrating ores.
 In accordance With the legislative enactment approved March 3, 1899, the rates for assaying heretofore in force under the law of March, 1897, have been charged. The fifty-cent rate is no longer in force. Former circulars and schedules of rates, are revoked and withdrawn. Under the provisions of the new law the regents of the uni versity of Arizona have established the following rates for assaying ores taken from deposits and mines in the territory of AItzona:

 The Morris group of claims are so located that all of them can be mined with tramway as a means of trans porting the ore to a mill placed where water is developed in the Gold Cord mine. From this mill site there are mesa roads to Fort Thomas on the north and Wilcox on the south, and wood.
