SPANISH SIDE OFT
A Condensed Account of inc Baffie
 of Manila.

E. J. Louis, for a short time the edi- tor of the San Diego Sun, who is now n the city, is a member of the Cali fornia state normal school commits sion. He examined the new normal building at Flagstaff and believes it will be a splendid location Before leaving he will visit the normal school 1t Tempe, and upon his return to California will acquaint the commis- con with the normal school facilities Of Arizona. MT. Louis received d com mission in California in the naval militia, recently. On this account he joined the tWenty-One returning sail DTS from Manila on May 21, at Colton md accompanied them to Los Angeles One of the sailors had photograph aken by a Spanish photographer of he naval enga cement at Manila It vas one of the few pictures taken of hat battle and it is probable that Mir Louis and the sailor will have 1t copyrighted On the back is printed

THE NEW OLD TRUTH
Address of Judge Wells al inc Paf-
 ion Grand.

In the introduction of Dr. A. A Sulczer, the lecturer upon Christian
 Science at the Patton Grand or
 Wednesday night, Judge B. w. Wells
 of Prescott outlined the doctrine ct
 the Christian Scientists as follows:
 For cur entertainment this evening
 the Christian Science society in Phoe- nix has provided an interesting and entertaining lecture by one who is au-
 thorize'd to speak on the subject oi Christian Science, the old new truth which is rapidly spreading through out the United States and Canada and finding its way to foreign shores on the east and west of us When I say the new truth 1 speak with reserence to it's reappearance and discovery thirty years ago by Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy
 But Christian Scientists inform us that this truth was never new; that 1t is without a starting time-alWays is, and never was; that nc era cac claim it's beginning, no age define it's dura- tion, no cycle of time foretell its end ing It is quite apparent to us all that there is creation involving the uni verse including man. But it's theory, it's method of being, it's genesis is as mythical and mysterious to human sense as our notions and ideas of the identity of the Creator are varied. IT is claimed for this science that he who earnestly enters into it's study. not for the purpose of criticism, opposition CT ridicule, but with the intent to know and understand it's truth, will meet with results so convincing as to dis pei all these mysteries and doubts; that the desire for perfect concep- tiOn of the science of fife will be grati- fed; that the close relationship of man to the creation of mind, of whom ne is the image and likeness, will be rC- vealed; that man himself will become conscious of his being a responsible identity of some account in the world, and that he is not the sinful and evil being so gorgeously painted in pages of prose and lines of poetic rhyme.
 The story of Christ's birth, His conduct through life, His perfect na- ture, purity of character, the practical part of His teachings wherein He dem Onstreted the principle of truth by healing the sick; cleansing the lepers, casting out devils, giving sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf and speech to the dumb, causing the lame to walk, and raising the dead, His trials, per secutiOEs, death, resurrection and as tension are all a part of the worlds written history and is accepted as true by the Christian wCrld.
 And more. By woman the divine mind came to the earth in the form Of the man Jesus. She nourished Him after His birth and tenderly attended Him through the years of childhood. In manhood she anointed His head with precious ointment and wiped His feet with her hair. We find her lingering at the foot of the cross and the last to turn her steps from the sepu,ch wherein was laid the mutilated body. She is the first to return to the tomb

FOUGHT THE FLAMES.
Vinegar, Olives and Pickled Pigs Feet
 Used to Quench Fire

! The way Lyons 6 KnObloek and their force of help fought the flames in
 the destructive fire of last week is de- serving of mention
 ! As soon as the alarm was given and the boys discovered it was in the Le- land, at the rear of their store, they j began working like Trojans to save { the store and it's contents. Rushing into the basement they piled sacks of flour up against the door clear to the ceiling, and then began rolling ont barrels Of vinegar to be thrown upon
 the flames, which were threatening to
 consume the New York store in the
 same TOW as their store. The barrel
 heads were quickly knocked in and the vinegar cast upon the flames. Af-
 ter s75 worth of vinegar had been used $20 worth of olives, juice and all, were used, and as a fire eNtinguisher they proved very valuable. The kegs Of pickied pigs feet were next tossed on to the fire, and then came 800 pounds Of table salt. With the aid of water, vinegar, flour, olives and swine hocfs the block was saved. If Lyons s KnoblCck had burned out the whole Of the town would have gone up in smoke.
 After all danger of fire was over Will Jordan, who was waiting down tho street with his rig, drove up and un- loaded 1000 boxes of strawberries. and Lycns & Knoblock dished them out be- fore sunset to their customers as per advertisement Of special sale of ber- ries.
 They suffered no loss by sacrificing their goods to quench the flames, for Jackson and Faust, representing the Thuringia and Commercial Union in surance companies, had not been in town an hour Wednesday until the boys were paid the full value of the sllt, four, vinegar. olives and pork Jerome Hustler

as we write, however, the remem- brance fades, like the sky's blanchiug souvenirs of sunset; and in the dis tance the cold ghosts of winter glare and wave their frozen wings, which creak Cn icy hinges-while in the sil- ence of midnight a prophetic voice of wailing and desolation moans fitfufiy at the easement"
 Few people can contemplate this specimen of literary architecture with out experiencing a feeling of awe and sadness, with a few cold shivers on the side. It is prcof positive that the profession has, in some things, gained by what it has lost.-Albany Argus.

LAST NIGHTS RAIN.
Not Very Much, but More Is Prom
 iSed.

The long expected rain came last night somewhat suddenly. Late in the afternoon the clouds which had been quietly gathering, began to send down tentative drops to see how they would be received after their long and uneX- plained absence. They grew more and more numerous and about o'clock the clouds got down to business. It rained neither very hard nor very long, but quit about 10 o'clock with q promise of more shortly.
 The farmers hardly know how to feel about it. Rain has seldom been more badly neded in this valley, yet it has come at an inopportune time for hay and grain. great deal of both Of which is down and no doubt a. consid- erable loss will follow. It will be made up, though, on the ranges where cattle are dying of hunger and the later al- falfa crops of the valley will be i'm measura ply increased.
 The rain is believed to be general along the coast. It was raining at all points in California and northern Ari- zona heard from last night. The clouds seemed to be denser over the mountains in the northeast, giving premise of water badly needed for ir- rigation.

he had gone ashore to get marrfeo. Instead however, aIueG Dy an Eng lishman of Manila, he had gone on an expedition of sounding the harDor. The sailors claim that he made the chart which enabled the squadron to enter the harbor without being de- tected and If it had not been for the chart the squadron would likely hav6 lost one or more of it's vessels in en- tering the bay. Although Calkins was advanced ten numbers. the re- turned seamen thought he had not re- ceived an adequate reward for his hazardous undertaking.

and discover the stone rolled from it's dCor and the body gone. To her the
 risen Lord appeared first. She knows Of the ascension scene and of His promise to come again. These are also recorded facts on the pages of the same history. The admitted truthful ness of a part is aunity of the whole. Is it unreasonable that woman again should be the first to know of the coming Of the Messiah? Today, above the horizon in the eastern sky there hangs a bright and shining star, whcse briliiancy is illumina ting the clOuded thought and unsettled belief of ma terial man. It is announcing to the Christian world the glad tidings of the reappearance and coming of the truth which is to set mankind free.
 Science of health, with key to the scriptures, is the Christian Science text bOOk-a wonderful book of truths adapted to practical everyday life. Its writer, Mrs. Eddy, is the most re- markable woman of this O. any age.
 '*To aid in spreading this truth throughout the land that it's benefits may reach the houses of those who care to receive it, the mother church of Christian Science at Boston has established a board of lectureship COLlipOSGu Ol Ht6H duu MOLuSu Ol CCti- cation and learning, whose minds are trained in thought and Investigation and who are competent to analyze this system Of truth and through it's un- ders landing demonstrate it's philOs- .0phy.
 Dr. A. A. Sulczer, who is with us this evening, is an accredited member of this board of lectureship. His years of earnest study and inyestiga- ticc- of Christian Science thought and his successful demonstration of the truth fits him to tell us much of 1t. While l am not a resident of this city, still, I know enough of her people to promise Dr. Sulcer an attentive, fair minded, unprejudiced and appreciative audience.
