THE sINGER's soNGEEss HIT.

The ladies and lady managers of the San Francisco Nursery for Homeless Children are unanimous in their declar- alton that Gadslzi is the dearest little thing that ever was" These chari- table women gave a doll show and fete the other Saturday afternoon and ev
 ening. It was a swell affair, with regular opera attendants, reading of palms, telling fortunes, railing dolls, running miniature race courses and
 singing and doing all manner of things to fRttcn the lean purse of charity
 against the exactions of the holiday season. One of the lady managers suggested that it would add to the at
 tractiveness of the occasion, and per haps lure some of the men if some of the operatic queens should be asked
 to grace the affair with their presence.
 The idea was taken up as happy one, and ssn invitation was sent to Gadski,
 telling of the wOrthiness of the cause and asking her to aid it with her pres
 ence. There was no notion of asking 2 for a song, for the operatic queens have golden threats. The idea was
 that if Gadski would just come and stand around and look pleasant, her presence would be a drawing card, and possibly spur others to greater feats of generosity. The singer went for one of the lady managers, and inquired about the charity, expressed delight at the invitation, attended, paid $10 for a wee bit of a doll, bought three chances in the lottery for the tailor-made gown. and with her own fair hands drew out
 the ticket which was to decide who was the winner of the robe. She was all smiles and graciousness. The lady managers were charmed. Gadski was 1 quite the hit of the occasion, and made friends of hosts of people.

No view of irrigation can be appre- ciative which regards it as merely an
 adjunct to agriculture, IRRIGATION says William D. Smythe THE HOPE in the November At

 much larger way. It not only makes a, civilization in the midst of desolate waste, it shapes and colors that civilization after it's own peculiar design. It forbids land mo- nopoly, because only the small farm pays when the land must be artificially watered. By the same token it makes near neighbors and high social condi- tions. It discourages servile labor by developing a class of small landed pro prietors who work for themselves and need little help beyond that which their own families supply We can expect no millionaire to grow from such surroundings. but neither should their be any Dauoers.
 There is another influence peculiar to irrigation This is the in iuence which makes for cooperation. Irrigation is not and can never be an individual enterprise. A single set

A squad of students belonging to the Boston Institute of Technology were last week provided with acconlmoda- tions on one CT the Boston and Albany locomotives running to Albany. The students were accompanied by their in- structor, and they were quartered be- hind a wooden shield fastened to the front of the locomotive. They were engaged in conducting tests of the To- comotive. Instruments were connected with the cylinders for the purpose of observing pressure, and a speed indi- cator was also in use. The students were enabled to observe the operation of the engice, and secure data which they are to use in thesis work.

 The Republican yesterday
 morning contained ELEVEN
 HUNDRED AND FIFTY ONE
 inches of advertisements, most
 ly display ads. This exceeds any
 tissue west of Chicago. except
 the Kansas City Star. No or dinary issue of any western pa per has ever made such a fine showing. Notwithstanding the tremendous amount of adver- tising, the literary features have not been neglected. We i flatter ourselves that the carni- nival has been covered most completely. the telegraphic news has been comprehensive, and no lccal happening of any ; moment overlooked.

 actly chain their direc- tors to the cow-catchers on their trains, but they have a law which makes a fatal accident on railroad train punishable with death to the person or persons through whose igno- rnce ar carelessness such an accident occurs. This explains the sudden dis appearance of the engineer and fire man of the latest wrecked train down there. and the threat to lynch them, lest they nigh. escape across the bor- der, before being overtaken by the officers of the law. It is superfluous to remark that railroad accidents are of comparatively rare occurrence in Mexico.
