 In fact. in a residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat and they recovered. Their condition, however, was more the result of whisky than heat. The air is so dry here that a registered temperature of 110 degrees is not as oppres- sive as 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be a pleasant breeze; the nights are invariably cool in the summer, and outdoor labor IS performed without serious discomfort t3 either man beast on the warmest days. Very seldom does the thermometer get be- low the freezing point in winter and in the gardens of Florence to-day are castor bean plants two years or more old,
 UNTOUCHED BY FROST.
 Orange and lemon trees require slight pro- tection during the winter for a year or two. until the wood is sufficiently hardened.
 While it Is a popular thing for one to say that he Is "not here for his health, ? it is an undisputed fact that for all pulmonary ail- menfs no climate on earth is equal to South- ern Arizona, and there are numbers of active industrious citizens, with but one lung, who came here years ago, expecting to live but a few weeks. But for all that, the wonderful Casa Grande valley is something better tha Il a health resort.

DEvoUT AS WELL AS BRAVE.
Impressive Thanks to the Almighty
for Glorious Victories to
Our Arms.

Washington, Oct. 9.-Admiral Dew
ey yesterday attended divine services
at ST. Johns Episcopal church, where
the Episcopal special ceremony of
prayer and Thanksgiving for the crown
of victory for our arms and for the
safe return from sea was conducted
by Rev. DR.. Mackey Smith, the rector.
The admiral and the church officials
avoided giving notice in advance of
this service in order to avoid the Curl
GUS crowd that would flock to the
church. The rector, in his sermon,
made no reference to the admiral, but
impressively delivered the two formal
prayers on the ritual, at the request of
to almighty God, the sovereign COM
mander of all the world, in whose hand
is power and might which none is able
to withstand" and for "All the vic
tories and deliverances of the past two
years"
The other, to which the entire con-
gregation bowed earnestly, offers
thanks for 1.-The conducting in safety
through the perils of the great deep,
this worthy servant who now desireth
to return his thanks unto Thee in
Thy holy church"
In accordance with the prescribed
service there was no response or ex-
pressed participation in these prayers.
The admiral is an old parishioner of
St. Johns which almost all of the pres
idents of the United States up to the
Lincoln administration attended.

of the day was the unwilling of beau

the civil war, living and dead. The
monument is tall shaft of marble,
ornamented at the base with bronze
groups, concentrating scenes of the
war. 1t is erected on an elevation
in front of the courthouse, and by its
side had been constructed a platform
upon which the president and the
members CT his party took seats to re-
view long procession of militia, vet
Grams of the war and returned volun-
teers of the Spanish war.
The concourse of people surrounding
this platform and packing every street
in its vicinity was by far the largest
which has thus far greeted the presi-
dent on his western tour.
After his review of the parade the
president took his seat facing the
yelled monument, by the side of Hon.
Martin Kingman, chairman of the ex-
ercises.
After some selections of music and
an invocation by Rev. DR.. John Yves
ton, the monument was unveiled by
Mrs. S. A. Kinsey, who has been chair
man of the monument committee since
its inception in 1888.
