 sEOrafi0n 10 Health.

Miss Lillian Lewis, the famous act
 ress, who has resided in Phoenix fo
 the last two months, will leave neX
 Wednesday night. She will go to Chi
 cago and after a stay of couple O.
 weeks there, will spend two monlL
 in northern Minnesota, after whicl
 she will return to New York, he!
 home Miss Lewis who quit the stage
 a year ago on account of failing
 health, came to Tucson early last
 December, after visiting the best known health resorts of the south anc west She came to Phoenix early ir March. On her arrival in Arizona there was little hope of her life, ant almost none when she came to Phoe nix Her recovery within the last two months was rapid and now there is little remaining evidence of her threatering dlment, but sigh, throat affection.
 A reporter for The Republican pass ed a pleasant quarter of an hour with Miss Lewis at her residence No. : East Monroe street, yesterday after noon. Before going away" said she 'I want to give expression to my ap- preciation of Arizona and its people Its wonderful climate has restored me ito health and those whom I have met have made my stay very pleasant. have been subjected to a single discourtesy since I came to the terri tory, and that was so trifing that will not mention it. The people bc1h here and at Tucson have been S kind 10 me. Here is an instance While I was in Tucson and was yer! i'll, a gentleman, an Austrian, on Sunday, had had an Italian dish fo. dinner. Sitting at the table with his family he said: T think Miss Lewis would like this He immediately pre- pared a part of the dish for me anC brought it several blocks before ht and his family ate their dinner Wasn't that kind?
 T want to speak of this climate There is no other like it in the world and in the course of the last sixtee years I have travelled over nearly every part of it. I have been in man! famous health resorts which have the same life-giving sun, but they lack the dry nights of Arizona, and dry nights are essential to The restoration ot those sick as have been. I want to especially impress upon invalids the of the dry nights.
 This country is not well advertised. If as much as know of Phoenix ano Tucson were made known to the pea pie of the cast they would be filled with invalids and visitors every wlnt- CT. Tucson is known only as a iron tier mining town, and Phoenix is known at all. Tucson is in fact delightful place, whose resi- dents are persons of culture.

WE WANT TO SAY

We have not sold out. Never thought of such a thing. Didn't start up this business to sell out. This is one grocery store in Phoenix that is not for sale. We feel sorry for that fellow who had nothing else to do than circulate such a foolish report. We took contract to sell groceries cheap CT than some people can steal them, and we are doing our best to carry it out Something new in few days that will bring tears of joy to your eyes Some merchants think it's dull and go- ing to be a very dull summer. Our business is all right and we are going to keep it all right.

School Appropriation.

There seems to be misunderstand-
ing in the minds Of many persons as to
the State appropriation made for the
public schools for the current school
year, which ends on the first Monday In
juno. lSO0," said John l.. stewart, Dep
uty superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion. In view of this fact. It would be
proper for the school directors and
Others who are interested in the public
schools to be rightly informed on the
subject.
''The appropriation for the school
year ending in June. 1898, has been paid
in full, and that for the year ending in
June, 1899, will be paid after June Of
this year at such times as the State
Treasurer will be able to meet the obli-
cation. The sj,0O0,O00 which the dis
trcts will receive for the year beginning
June, 1899. will not H. payable until
after the first Monday in June, 1900.
There can be no excuse, therefore, for
any reduction in the wages Of teachers
for the next school year, beginning
June, 1899.
zone other point which seems to be
misunderstood Is in connection with the
fact that some districts have not levied
any school taxes whatever during the
current school year. There are also
townships which have continued year
after year TO levy a very low tax rate.
Many OF these districts have provided
only the minimum term OF six months,
but the Legislature at the last session
enacted law extending the minimum
school term to seven months. This act
goes into effect at the beginning OF the
school year, 1899, 50 that majority Of
the townships will doubtless increase
the tax rate in order to meet the de-
mands of the, act. which requires the
schools to be kept open at least seven
months annually.
The statement has been widely pub
lished that many districts receive more
from the State than is raised in the dis
trict by local taxation. This is true in
many instances, but with the extension
Of the school term these districts will
doubtless raise an increased local fund
for the support Of the school, IL neces-
sary to do So"

The Pittsburg Daily Ne,cs clipped II
local item from THE STAR last week
and gave the Dubois Express credit.
The only objection to be raised at this
time will be by Mr.. Spears for making
it appear that he is a citizen of the
hamlet called Dubois. However, the
Ne,rS has been guilty of clipping local
items from THE STAR before this and
giving other papers credit. Consider
ing the number of exchanges that are
hurriedly glanced over in the daily
offices it is not surprising that wrong
credits are given occasionally.

Courthouse In junction.

Proceedings were commenced on Tues
day by j. H. Mahon and others against
the county and county commissioners to
restrain them from erecting the new
courthouse on the site of the present
one. The reasons given are that the new
courthouse yard is public property; that
there is no building available that could
be used as a courthouse while the new
one is being built, that it would be dan
gerous to remove all the valuable rec
ords to temporary quarters, and that a
site on the river common, between
Union and North streets, is the proper
place for new building.
The hearing is fixed for June l.

under the bridge be relad to comply

The days of the mule, as regards its
work in the coal mines, are said to be
numbered. The success of compressed
air motors attained by the Cross Creek
Coal Company at Drifton and G. b..
Markle " Co. at Jeddo has stirred no
the big Reading Company. This cor
poration is about to inaugurate a
change, and within short time the
mines in the Shenandoah district will
no longer hear the neigh of the strong
and stubborn mule, nor will the cars
show the effects of having come in con-
tact with the rear legs Of this animal,
as there will be put in use cars operat-
ed by compressed air. This change is
expected to work considerable saving to
the coal company, as there are many
hundreds of mules employed in these
mines.
The Reading Company has for a long
time been experimenting with the va
rious kinds of motive power for the
hauling Of its mine cars, and while cleo
tricity has played u prominent part in
these trials it has been deemed advis-
able at this time to use compressed air.
BY this system of motive power it has
been proven that larger car can be
operated, more speed can be acquired
and there will be no delays, which have
frequently been tho case when a string
of mules become balky.
Besides this change the Reading Com
pany will also reduce the number of
breakers in the Shenandoah region
from six to three. IL has been the
policy of the company to increase the
size of its breakers whenever a new one
was required. The breakers now con-
templated will be unusually large and
will be capable of handling all the coal
that the company's mines in that region
produce
