BRIDGEPORT. Conn, Feb. Wv. j.
Bryan said last night, after the close OF
his New England campaign, during which
he addressed 5000 people. I'm eighteen
cities:
The meetings have been gratifying be-
cause they show the growth of Demo-
cratic sentiments. The trend of public
opinion is away from the Republican par
ty and believe that each month will en-
phasize this opposition. The old men
contrast the Republican party of today
with the Republican party OF Lincoln q
day and cannot but note the difference.
THE young men see the field of oppor-
tunity narrowing and they realize that
Republican politics are continually adding
TO the advantages OF aggregated wealth
and lessening the chance of the young
man. who has only his own brains and
his muscle to rely upon. II requires more
than the hope of a perpetual clerkship to
stimulate the young man TO the highest
endeavor."

The other night N q Creighton was driving up the Tempe road wh his morse suddenly stopped, frights ned by an object lying crCsswise in the road.

NEW CITY DIRECTORY
A Long Felt Want Is Soon to Be
 Supplied.

MT. Leslie Smith of the smith Di- rectory company of Los Angeles is in the city and has entered upon the pr5- limindry work of preparing a first-class up-to- date directory of this city and county.
 The book will contain something like 35O pages. will be nicely printed and handsomely bound and in addition to an accurate listing of all residents with their addresses, bJ will include his tul'ical and descriptive sketches of tine county and the several towns within it. a street and avenue 9 tide. church and lodge directories and other matters of d miscellaneous nature that are so ire quently sought in books of that kind.
 The book will be at least thrye times as thick as any sO-called dirsctory of Phoenix heretofore published and it is designed to make it volume tha | will be crGditabla to the city and val Icy. something that will Sci forth or reflect the real conditions as to p1pu- lation, business enterprises and natural resources as well as all the necessary classifications to make it a book of r,ady reference and trustworthy infOr- nlation.
 In the natter of city directories Phoe- nix has heretofore been ''an easy mark for wl0msoever might drift in and work the peopls for all there was in it There have been numerous pub lications of that sort usually accOmpa- nicd by all sorts of advance promises and backed by some person whose re- spOns;bility was not easily demon- straIt1d The result has been successive editions of an inferior character that have been used as makeshifts for the want of something better. But Phoe- nix is now to have a dir utpry that will meet all requir, ments and be a credit to the town. The Smith Direct ory company is successor to the Max well Directory company which has been in business on the coast for many years and is well known ali over the country. Their employees are eXperi- enced in the work and rle standing and reputation of the smith company is sufficient to guarantee a publication that all will be proud of.

A WORD OF ADVICE.
ont bnli vc all you hear.

Don't b"li. vc all you hear.
 Some p,oric are mistaken in what they say.
 For instance, racing man told us that d dealer in bi- cycles in this town told his father that 1ver Johnson bicycles rode hard.
 Two young men rode to our store one Saturday ming to look around. These same two young men saw what they considered tEe prottiest and strongest wheel they ever saw. Mind you, they were not out shopping; they were ac- quainted with Javins and they just wanted to make a call. Our salesman invited them to try the new wheel. The only comment they had was that it ran as well as it looked. These two young men work at McNeiTs. One rides a Barnes. the other a Cleveland. They have ridden them about one year, and if their whs els will last d few days more it's all they ask. Because they ordered two Iyer Johnson racers with 98 gear.
 Who of these three were in d posi- ton to know, the one that heard 50 and so. or the itWO that tried the wheel be- fore they bought? A new firm, you know, catches it on all sides. Some dealers are friendly; the most of them are not. It is very easy to prove what We claim if you give us a chance. The racing man referred to gave us d chance and he will ride an IYer John son in the Bente-Javins race.
 Now we don't accuse all the bicycle dealers of raising a howl about our goods being old auction stock or such like, but some of them did until they found out they. could not make it stick; then they tried other means of keeping people off our wheels and from buying our goods. It's a broad claim, but We will back it up. that We have sc4d more new bicycles in the past thirty days than any other firm in the city, and. perhaps, twice as many. We are new firm, but We have had experience in buying bicycles in New York before.

USES FOR CANNON BALLS.
.unnnn Balls Fnr Elnslinc,.,

Cannon Balls For Hlasting!"
 This sign, hung in a conspicuous ! place before the door of a store on Nt- i lantic avenue, led d reporter inside and
 started d bit of questioning on the sub
 ject.
 1 The proprietor said: Last fall when ] the United States governments sold all of the old cannon balls and solid shot ! which for so many years were piled in | pyramids along the main street of the navy yard, at Charleston, We purchased d lot of them with little thought of con- 1 Nerting them into anything but pig iron. But few weeks after we had
 stored them here I overheard a quarry owner complaining of the sloWness and uncertainty of the old system of steel w5dging used in getting out huge | blocks of granite. and after a bit of ! thought I suggested the use of cannon | balls in the place of the steel wedges. 1 We sent about twenty of the various | sizes and weights out to the quarry and aftr the first trial he hurried a team in with note that read: ! Tried the cannon balls: they are it. 2 nd fifty more; have thrown the steel l wedges away
 ''The experience of this man led us ! to send the cannon balls and solid shot ! to other quarry operators, and within l the past month the orders have been coming in so quickly we can scarcely fill them with the stock on hand.
 The method used in getting out great 1 cubes or moncjths from the granite and marble queries has been to drive steel wedges along the line of the lower portion of the split made by the blast
 until the great chunk of stone topples over on it's face.
 Tt required a deal of time and a number of men with big iron sledges and 9,ezl wedges to separate these
 cubes from the quarry wall from which ! they had been started by the blast The method now pursued with the cannon ball is to start the block of stone away by a light blast, and then bd,ween the quarry face and the block several of the smaller shot, usually the fuur-inch sort, are dropped down into ! tn aperture. Two men with crOWbars i give the block a little shake, and the in stant the block moves in the slightest manner the shot takes up their 'pur- cnas-' on the space made, when the i large cOnnon balls, some fourteen or i fifteen inches and weighing 200 or 300 pounds. are dropped into the top of the ! gap. Now, the slight st outward jar 1 by levers on the big stone sends these ! heavy cannon balls dropping down- 1 ward of their own weight, until, with an easy forward motion, the cube goes over on it's face.
 i These shots do away with any driv- | ing: of necessity theIr weight in pro portion 10 their size. sends tn m down ward, and their form prevents any chance of backward setting of the 1 block.
 | These cannon balls are also used as
 roll, IFS. as they take up and go over the | inequalities of the quarry surface and
 can be rolled in any direction without resetting, thus doing away with the 1 old style wooden rollers.
 ''1'h4 are also usc4 to smother heavy clearing-out blasts. Neavy rope mats are thrown over the surface where the blast has been set, and these cannon balls are thrown on the ts."-Bos- 1 ton Globe.
