QUEER THINGS IN POKER.
Which Il the Luck of Begin
ners.

ners.
There are three things in poker
said a Michigan man the other Jay,
which have always impressed me
strongly One is that a beginner gen.
orally wins; that the simplest tricks
are used by the most successful cara
sharks, and that the ruling passion Is
stronger than death. One case in par
ticular comes to my mind to illustrate
this latter fact. In a New York town
lived a ny will say Mr.. B.-who
had played poker all his life. He was
seventy-two years Of age when taken
seriously sick; the doctors gave him
up as dying, but the sick man invited
In a few of his friends and Insisted on
a final game Of poker. They played.
That was eight years ago. The man
Is alive today, and the best doctors In
New York say that card playing saved
his life. From that time until today
n small card game Is run at his home,
and, while the town is rabid on the
anti-gambling question, the authori-
ties, understanding the circumstances,
make no kick. In an honest game a
new player almost always wins. I've
seen them go in against old players
men who thought they understood the
game-and win where a professional
would lose his wad."

HATE LED TO A DUEL.
BEAUTIFUL SENORITAS FIGHT

Injury.

AS a result of a desperate duel with
swords between two young women
prominent in Mexican society one lies
in a hospital at the City of Mexico
seriously wounded and the victor and
seconds are in prison, cut of from all
communication with their friends. Al
though all those who had any actual
connection with the duel are women, II
was conducted with punctilious regard
for the code. 1t became known only
through a provision Of the Mexican
law that no physician is permitted to
treat a person who has been wounded
without an order from the authorities.
The duel grew out of the love of the
young women for the same man-Ra-
fael Riquelme. Rafael went to the Nir-

The thing was CALAMITY done, and
we may all well be proud Of this
achievement of the Canadians. An
examination of the laager disclosed a
state of affairs which it would be i'm

the filth and stencil were such as to
make one feel sick, says a London
News correspondent. Within a space
of leo yards lay over forty dead
horses and n half dozen dead oxen.
Men themselves were only buried six
inches beneath the soil. No regard had
been paid to sanitary arrangements
at all. They drank the water within
a few feet of n p%ctrifying carcass.
Wounded men lay about uncared for.
their wounds undressed, left to look
after themselves. In most cases gan

white employees OF the government

ELoPED WITH COACHMAN.
Young Heiress Married In Hoboken
After Coming from Holland.

The romance of an heiress and her
coachman, which has its beginning In
Amsterdam, Holland, has just ended
at Appleton, Wis, where the young
couple have settled down to married
life. Marie Aaltsz vas a beautiful
young heiress in Holland and Adrian
Shoemaker was coachman for the
girls brother. An affection sprang up
between the young people, which, be-
ing discovered by the brother OF the
girl, occasioned a stormy scene be-
tween the brother and sister and the
discharge OF the coachman. The girl
fed with the coachman TO Rotterdam,
where they andeavored to have a mat
riage ceremony performed. Owing to
the fact that three weeks of publica-
ton of the bans in the civil courts Is
required, and fearful that the influ-
ence of the brother would be sufh-

QUEER WEDDING.

ried In Governors Mansion.
One of the queerest marriages in the
history of Missouri occurred in the ex-
ecutive mansion at Jefferson City the
other day. Two years ago George w.
Wilson won the heart OF ~16-year-old
Maud Mallot of Clay county. He in
duced her to leave her parents home
and together they went away.
On first one pretext and then anoth-
er he failed to marry her, and then her
father found them and took his daugh-
ter home. Later Wilson was arrested
and sentenced to the penitentiary for
five years. The girl overlooked the
wrong she had suffered. She forgave
and forgot all else in the presence Of
the fact that he must suffer imprison-
mont for five years. She determined
that he should be free. 1t was a hard
struggle. The citizens of Clay coun-
~ were 10th to work in Wilson's be-
half because they thought he got what
he richly deserved. She got several
hundred signers to her petition, and
finally stormed her father, who, at first
obdurate. finally yielded, and at last
the pardon was granted. The girls
struggle awakened the true affections
of the young man, and he proposed
that she accept him as her husband.
Soon after the stripes had been
changed for citizens clothes, the we'd
ding was performed by the prison
chaplain. Gov. Stephens offered the
young people the use of the executive
mansion for their wedding and they

Fond as we are of calling this the
age Of electricity, we seldom think of
all that it has really done for us, being
for the most part too busy in accom-
plishing new wonders to have time to
linger over the old. For this reason
such a book as Flame, Electricity and
the Camera" by George Hes, has more
than ordinary value, since it tells
in popular form the story of the ac-
complishmcnts of the century now near
it's close. He begins his book by dwell
ing on the deeds which were done in
times past by fire or flame. From
the first man to whom the art of build
ing him a fire became an accomplished
fact to the man who found a use for
the steam which so many generations
of men had wasted, the tale of civilt-
zatiOn is practically the tale of flame.
Nor, as Mr.. Hes points out, Is the
manner of the narrative changed so
greatly by the introduction of cleo
tricity. The chief use of this subtle
force is still the production of heat,
the manifestation of flame in a more
commodiOus and practicable form. But
first he takes a few pages to point out
what is done by the absence of heat or
cold. A short generation ago the
teachers of chemistry were teaching
that all matter could be made to as
sumo the forms known as solid, liquid
and gaseous. Many of the gases re-
mained gases in spite of every effort
to liquefy or soldify them. Today not
one remains unCOnquered. Even car
bon has been lquefied, though in
minute quantities, to complete the
chain and prove the older rule.
This cold, if analyzed, is still found
to be the result of high pressure, and
this, again, to be the result of heat;
so that the various icemaking ma
chimes which make cold storage-with
its real service to mankind, as well
as it's doubtful gift of month-old eggs
really, after all, due to that form of
heat which makes the steam engine
possible. It is the steam engine, too,
which remains the chief source of
electricity, though the gas engine,
with it's greater economy, is becoming
a successful competitor. like the other,
being moved by heat. The machine for
freezing air is the most wonderful OF
all the manifestations of cold, and the
most curious discoveries are those
which have disclosed the existence OF
three unknown constituents in the at
mosphere, to which the names of argon
neon and Xenon have been given.
1t is, however, when heat is applied
to the parts in the form of electricity
that the most novel results are OBJ

water pipe by the application of crude
flame has been superseded by an elec.

Operated by Waste Gases.

According to the paper read before
the Iron and Steel Institute in London
recently by NJ. Adolph Greiner. careful
tests of the large blowing engine at
Seraing, which is operated by waste
gases from the blast furnaces, showed
that no less than 30 per cent. aof the
theoretical heat efficiency was convert
ed into work in the engine. This is an
extraordinary result, when we remem-
Der that in perfect steam engine, ac-
cOrding to Professor Hubert we can
only attain an efficiency of II per cent,
while in the ordinary blowing engine
the result is often as low as per cent.
The Soaring engine in several test
runs developed an average of 575 horse
power, and has shown as much as 725
Indicated horse power when run at
high speed. This is not the limit OF
size, however, for drawings have been
made and work is now In progress for
an engine for a German blast furnace
plant, which is expected to develop at
least 1,200 horsepower.

evidence Of this disposition by award

STEADY GROWTH OF FLAGSTAFF.
The Amount of Money Invested in Build ings and Improvements During
 the Past Year.

Flagstaff during the past five years has had a steady growth. The busi- ness buildings erected during that time are of the best class, and would be u credit to town of ten times the pOpu- lation of the Skylight City. That the town is progressing is evident to the man who uses the 'hammer" in the most reckless manner. The improve ments noted here have all been made by residents of the place and with money earned in the town, and shows that they have abiding faith in the fu- ture of the place, and also that while the town is progressing it is being done without any element of boom in it.
 In collecting the data given below the reporter has been unable to gather the amount of minor improvements. which would help swell the aggregate some thousands of dollars.
