The Coconino sun., 1900-06-09

THE musicale at the schoolhOuse last night given by the Dickinson Sisters under the direction and for the benefit of the Symphony Orchestra was very poorly attended. The orchestra is a splendid organization and deserves better treatment from the public than they have received in the past. They are always willing to donate their services to any charitable enterprise, and have done so frequently, but when II comes 10 a benefit for themselves the public does not patronize their con- cerls in anything like credtabe manner.

,Althee MOdesti of Yuma, who has secured the Aqua Caliente hot springs, is making arrangements for building a $l5, 900 hotel there.

A special from Congress to the Phoe- nix Republican says: w. A. Drake, chief engineer of the Santa Fe, Pres colt X Pioenix railway, and J. H. Elm inert, assistant to President Murphy, left here yesterday morning with an O lift equipped for several days jour- ney. The object of their trip is said to be a reconnaissance of route for railroad between this point and the Hillside mine. Mir. Murphy's vigorous policy in connection with the north and south road contemplates the con- structiOn of branches into promising mineral sections, and it is believed that there will be early results from the trip of Messrs. Drake and Emmert.

Flagstaff to Globe.

Mr. Boucher, railroad builder for the Vanderbiits, was in town last week, accompanied by his civil engineer, looking over the possibilities of putting ia railroad from Flagstaff to Globe, via Jerome and Payson. The road would surely be great thing for the whole country along the projected route. The road would pay from the start. The lumber and timber traffic from the Mogollon mountains to Jerome would be source of great profit to the road. With road down the Verde valley the productive farms there would raise an enormous amount of produce. Oak and Clear creeks would also load many cars with fruit, vegetables and hay. The great Tonto Basin. with it's unlimited mineral resources. would come to the fsOnt in great strides. Mir. Boucher seemed favorably impressed with the proposition, and we will hear more from the gentleman later on.-I Jerome Reporter.

COURT DRESS.
Costume Prescribed for Diplomats al
the Russian Capital.

the Russian Capital.
Quite a ripple of excitement IN
American diplomatic cirtses was caused
by circular issued under the personal
instructions of the emperor by the
Russian minister of foreign affairs,
ard which reopens the much discussed
question OF court dress for American
Up representatives abroad.
The c.scuiaf formally notifies all for
eign embassies and legations at st.
Petersburg that the court costume of
a datk-blue evening coat with a vel
vet collar and brass buttons, white Oh
blue Waisteoat and blue trousers. is
prescribed for all persons not other
wise entitled to wear uniforms who
attend court ceremonies. The Russian
circular explicitly states that the new
regulations apply to all distinguished
foreigners and accredited representa-
tiyes in Russia of such countries as
have not adopted for their diplomatic
officers specific uniforms or costumes.
It is stated by those in position to
know that similar measures are likely
to be taken at the court of Berlin, Co.
pephagen, The Hague and Brussels.
1t is we'll known that the plain black
evening dress worn by official repre-
sentati9es Of the United States is not
recognized at st. Petersburg as suit.
able for occasions of ceremony, and is
looked upon by the court chamberlains
very much as those assembled at a
dinner party in New York would re-
gard a guest attired in tweed and
knickerbockers. During an informa!
exchange of views which preceded the
issuance of the Russian circular. al
ready forwarded to the state depart
mcnt at Washington, Mr.. Tower, the
ambassador at st. Petersburg, earn
estly requested the Russian authorities
TO adopt as plain style for diplomatic
ofncers as was consistent with the re-
quirements, in order to make it ae-
cord with American views on the sub
1ect. The Russian government ac-
copied the suggestion, and prescribed
court costume of cloth instead of
velvet. as was originally contemplated,

Dublin Visited by a Cyclone.

Dublin, Ireland, was visited by a
regular cyclone recently, which did a
good deal of damage in the city This
cyclonic character of the storm may
be judged by the marked course it took,
passing over narrow breadth. IN one
street the driver of hearse was blown
off his seat, and only for some people
holding on to the hearse it would have
been over with the coffin As it was.
some of the mourning coaches were
capsized, as were several cabs in the
street. A number OF houses were blown
down, and roofs taken off by the
storm, which was one Of the most se.
we're ever experienced in Dublin.

The peculiar naDlt of the woodcoek

probably the most difficult of winged

He must have ground upon which TO

is characteristic of the woodeoek that
he will not fly far horizontally when

PLAGUE IN RUSSIA
Gives Rise to Some Curious Preparations
asrniI,st L. er,rnna


Against It's Spread.
| saw the other day a curious device
attached to the mooring rope or cable
of q steamer which was leading at this
port, writes Consul Heenan from
Odessa, Russia. The cable was run
through a piece Of iron pipe about a
foot in length, and welded on the end
was a fange or funnel, which locked
like the end Of trumpet, with the
wide end facing the vessel The iron
pipe was stuffed with oakum to pre-
sent it from slipping, and also to pre-
vent rats from passing through It.
This novel construction was quite
close to the ship. On inquiring what
purpose this device served. | was in
formed that the Russian authorities
furnished these appliances and Obliged
all ships to use them whenever they
came from a port infected with the
plague, in order to prevent the rats
on the ship from coming ashore. It
is generally conceded that the plague
has Aeeen carried and spread by rats
which have left ships coming from IN
feeted ports. It is known that rats
make use Of the cable to come on shore.
and this iron pipe, with its funnel
shaped arrangement, was employed to
prevent such visits, if possible. These
devices are attached to each cable by
which the ship is moored. In addition
to this preeaution, the master of the
ship is obliged to take down his load
ing stages every night and erect them
again the following morning, in order
to prevent the rats from coming on
shore during the night. do not know
whether this device is known to our
sanitary authorities. and send this
description of it in the hope that It
may be of service.

THE DAYS OF QUILL PENS.
An Accomplished schoolmaster's Won

derful Effects in Fiourishes.
The art of cutting quill by adept
qnill-driyers" was dying when I first
began schooling, says Notes and Quer-
jes. Steel pens had been known for
some time, but were not in general
use. The goose quill pen died a hard
death as commonly-used writing
tool. My first schoolmaster was a
first-rate hand at cutting quill, and
he could use it with wonderful effects
in flourishes. 1t was his boast that he
could fill the first page of a lads
school book with name, age, date and
| fourishes-in which were depicted
wonderful swans and other birds-in
such fashion that none but experts
like himself could tell where the quill
pen was taken from the paper for a
fresh dip. My last master could
neither cut a quill nor use one with ad-
vantage. Quilts as pens remained IN
use in some houses as the only writ
ing tool up to a dozen or twenty years
ago. Those who can cut decent
writing quill are now few. People
used to ask for "a quill PEN or "a
quill" when they wanted pen, and
both steel and quill were always called
pens" buyers asking for fine or other
@nibs" or 'nebs." Nowadays nearly all
ask for "nibs" when they require pens.
The word pen" has almost dropped
out of usage, except to express the pen
and holder combined. Persons in
| sariably ask for box Of 'nibs, . APP
pearing to lose sight of the fact that
nib" or "neb" is point and that the
points of pens alone are not to be had.
One would think that in these days OF
much schooling teacers would define
pen" from point. or nib" but,
they, too, ask for "nibs,, when they
mean pens" Children only know a
pen as holder and pen combined.
They ask for "nibs9 or pen nibs," and
asked if they do not mean "pens," the
reply Isl mo, nibs!"

ENGLISH HUNTER
talls into Tunnel Once Used By Dick
Iurpin.


London Standard: While returning
from run with the well-knoWn
Highgate barriers, Thomas Henry
Blake of Kingsdown road, Holloway,
was suddenly missed from the pack in
South Grove, Highgate. On his COM
panions going back in search of him it
was discovered that there had been a
subsidenSe in the roadway, and that
Blake had disappeared into the cavity
which was about six feet wide and if
teen feet deep. Blake, who was seri-
ously injured about the legs, was
pulled cut of the hole and taken to the
police station close by. DR.. G. Fletch
er, the police divisional surgeon, at
tended to hts injuries, and then al
lowed him to be taken home. The pc.
lice informed the local authorities of
the subsistence, and in a short time
Mr.. Blair, the surveyor and engineer
of the st, Pancras yestry, and Other
officials, were upon the scene. An
examination of the cavity led to the
discovery that the upper portion of q
subterraneeus passage had collapsed,
and on tracing the course of this pas
sage another was discovered. The
main tunnel, which is of considerable
circumference, leads on the left to the
Flask tavern in South Grove, close to
ST. Michaels church. and on the right
it is supposed to lead to the open fields
near Kenwaod, the seat of the earl
of Mansfield. The Flask tavern, a
very old house, is popularity supposed
to have been one of the haunts of Dick
Turpin, the notorious cattle-lifter.
smuggler, housebreaker and highway
man. The house has numerous and
extensive cellars, with trapdoors lead
ing from the rooms above, and close
by is the stable which is said to have
sheltered Black Bess. 1t is supposed
that these subterraneous passages
were constructed in order to give a
ready means of escape from the house
in times of danger.
