BABY MILLIONAIRES.
Some Fortunate ENstle Ones Who Havs Been Born with Great
 F0FtRnes.

There are many little people in the world who will have, as long as they live, their weight :n gold every day.
 In the great Goelet mansion in New York is one little Vanderbilt baby, and another one in a grand palace in Eng land. Every day these wealthy little ones ride in the parks in a fine carriage, with s coachmAn and footman, and every night they go to sleep in beds of lace and down. The fortunes of either one of these babies is nearly S5O, 900, ,O0O, or many times their weight in dia- monds. The one in England may also be prince one day, and he is already a marquis and several other things he doesn't know or care about just yet.
 Then there are the children of the ear of Russia. who will have a great deal of money. and many others. But they will not all be happy, for riches do not make happiness, and some day perhaps any one of these little ones, who to-day do not know much besides being hungrrOr sleepy. will wish they could trade places with a healthy, cheerful man or woman, with their own way to make in the world.

A Ho,t,Ie Bullet ,p nd. Bnrr.l.

At the worlds fair there were exhib- ited from Tennessee two bullets which had met each other in midair, and also a muzzle-loading Springfield rife into the barrel of which a rebel bullet had found its way. This remarkable cir csmstance was duplicated at the battle of Caloocan, an insurgent bullet having passed the whole interior length of the rife in the hands of Private Stuteville, of the Abilene company, in the Twen- tieth Kansas: Stuteville had just fired his piece and still had it at his shoul- der when the insurgent bullet passed in at its muzzle. The bullet proceeded the whole length of the barrel. break ing the breechlock and forcing the empty cartridge shell into the upper part of its chamber. Gen. Otis heard of the occurrence and sent for the rife, which he intends to send to the war de partment as 6 curio.

The DreYfUs Trial.

Rennes, France, Aug. S.-The secret session of the Dreyfus court lasted until 1l:45, when the court adjourned until tomorrow morning
 The day was passed quietly. There was a much larger crowd than yes terdhy assembled in the hope of ob- taining a view of Dreyfus during the ten seconds occupied by him in crossing the avenue on his way to the Lucee from his prison. During the sitting a crowd numbering about 200 persons and composed purely of sightseers was allowed to pass freely before the Lycee until a few moments before Dreyfus em- erged. The condition of Drsyfns is dIsquieting. His wonderful will power alone is lending him strength to go through the present ordeal. Physically he IS extremely weak. His stomach refuses all solid food and is only able to take milk. Mem bers of the family are very anxious.

Prescott as A Summer Resort

The Phenix Gazette takes issue with a statement recently made m this paper that Prescott Is capable of taking care of 1000 Phenicians If they desire to come here. To ems phasize the alleged disbelief Of the statement the Gazette editor sar- castically calls the editor of the JOURNAL MINER a VeTmonter, aud adds tbat this town cannot accom- modate SD excursion of twenty Peo- ple. In au excursion q year ago from Phenix there Eere over 800 people by actual co;rAt of tickets sold aud they were all taken care of in Pres colt and no complaint heard from them of lack of accommodations, and aside from reading in the papers of their being here our people would not otherwise have been aware Of their presence.
 Accommodate IOOOi We'll We can Accommodate all the people who de sire to come here to spend the sum- ner. The JOCRNAL-MINER and the people of Prescott appreciate the kindly words expressed both by the Gazette and Republican in reference 10 making a summer resort of this place, but laying aside all the beau Iiful sentiment connected with It and looking at 1t from cold blooded business stand point even our Phe- nix Contemporaries must realize that 1t will take years to stop thelr Peo- pie from going to the coast" The reasons for this conclusion are too apparent, and the discussion of this subject would involve certain state ments that so far as the JOURNAL MINER is concerned it prefers should remain unpuh.,Sa, q.
 Prescott keOplo S:e onterprising to the extent of their financial abil- ity and whenever our good neigh bors from the torrid zone of the Salt River valley create demand for summer tourist accommodations our people can be depended on to pro vide them. It is sincerely hoped that the missionary work being done by the Gazette and Republican ID this direction may bear fruit, too.
 The number of summer tourists in Prescott, from Phenix, IS increas- iLg each summer ss is shown by sta tistics of the railroad company, the
 number this summer being greater than ever before. As the number in' creases the accommodations increase ' in Prescott, and there need be nc fears Of an over crowded condition here.

Why Not Make Prescott Beautiful

Why Not Make Prescott BeaVtifvi2 To the Editor JoURNAL-MINER:
 It is often good for communities as we'll as individuals to see tkeSn- selves as others see them. kildly permit one who is a newcomer to point ont a few things in the sp- pearsnce Of Prescott that could be remedied without much trouble or expense. aud which impress strsn- ger unfayorably.
 First The ungraded and uneven streets in the main part nf the town. Prescott has a beautiful. natural site, and 1t would not be very eX- pensiTe to grade many of its princi- pal stVeets-an improvement that would add much to its appearance as we'll as to ease in getting about.
 Second-The sidewalks are often a disgrace and dang eTOus. Put m new ones wherever needed.
 Third-Adopt an ordinance for bidding animals from running at large, and then take down the front fences What Is more unsightly than row of uneven, half painted and partially dilapidated door-yard fencesi In many of the cities and towns throughout the country, door yard fences are no more, aud the appearance of the streets has been greatly improved. As rule fence detraets from tLe beauty Uf dwell ing house. It has a suggestion of sel l6shness in it. Then, too, a fence is an expensive thing. The money thus expended would be better spent in other ways.
 Fourth-Use more paint. A town of well-painted houses impresses a stranger with the thrift of the peo- pl. It looks as though they had cone to stay. Especially should tho public buildings be kept we'll paNted.
 Prescott is entering upon an era Of prosperity such as she has never seen before. II her citizens would now pull together in the direction of public and private improve myuts they would be surprised to see what a change could be wrought ! in a short time. An attractive city induces immigration; a slovenly one rep. 1t. 4 NEWCOMER.

A Big Canal Scheme.

A SagnSte Marie, Michigan. tele- gr~-, Of recent date says: Major { f..-,,cs W. Raymond, chief engineer c. United States Army. IS here to attend a meeting of the deep U..,vJo av commission, of which he l. r~-,idsnt. The commission, which has d a number of meetings, will d,srs and compare the final sur v"ss aade for the contemplated ronta ut the waterway from the ga.ai akes to the atlantic ocean. z Tac .ommission will inspect the Saa [ Ste. Marie canal, and will then gp to Detroii. Fifty engineers are at the latter place tabulating a0d arranging results, aud 1t IS ex- pectsd the final report of the com mission is O be presented early next year. N Jor Raymond approxi- mates tn" cl.t of the proposed waterWav at bout S200.000,000.
 The hue be followed will be through ;he Sault Ste. Marie canal to Lake HurOr, through the river to Lake Erie, thence by ship canal around Niagara falls 10 Lake On tario. The question confronting the comaifssion at thIs point Is whether or not Wr,land canal. which is Canadian property, should be util- ized. As it is. 1t is useless for ships of deep draugbt. If it is not us' d then a new canal must be dug 10 American territory.
 A depth Of thirty feet throughout the waterway would be sufficient to carry anv vessel to the ocean. The entire scheme contemplates some ve, serious engine cing problems, particularly .5 ,a ,ia' sF-tem of locks. FTOE. .I -. a-J.e men lioned. two canal routes are suggest ed, both using the Hudson river.
 One is known as the Oswego- Mo hawk route and the other as the Champlain-St. Lawrence route. The Oswego-Mohawk route Is to start at Oswego and proceed along the Mo hawk valley. taking in such cities as Syracuse, Rome and Utica, going thence to Troy, where it will connect with the Hudson, necessitating a deepening of the Hudson. That route will practically obliterate the Erie canal, thought will take up some of its waterways.
