fountain on the street somewhere, but it took
him a moment To place it.

why few hundred water fountains should not
be placed at different points in the main streets
and few hundred more in the crowded dis

1T is TO wonder there is much drunkenness
in New York. and so many deaths and prostra-

get drink when moving about the streets un-
less he goes to a saloon drug store? Poor
men who get thirsty that they will spend
their hard earned money To quench their thirst

scatter drinking fountains about the city. They
need not be elaborate affairs. and even ordinary
city water without any ice would bc much bet

An appreciative crowd of nearly five thousand

affair well carried out, and applause was
generous during the afternoon. The five bulls
killed were from the hacienda of Atenco, the
property of sSenor BarbabOSa.
The features of the day were the placing of
thu banderillOS from bicycle by Jose Basurto.
and "a Don TancredO biciclo' by Alberto
ElSueS. The former placed the sticks in the
neck of the second bull with skill and daring
the latter cOoy sat his wheel, which was
prOpped to stand upright in the centre of the
rirg, while the bull. luckily, paid attention to
him. He was applauded.
The first bull found Manuel c. Sanchez pre-
pared to do him to the death but Manuels pre-
paratory course had obviously been incomplete.
He failed. even though using some strokes never
known before, 10 kill the bull, and the beast was
finally laSsOed.
Jose COsio braved the second bull and dis
patched him neatly with an eStocada de pulmOn.

Washington, Jan. &c. Senator De-
pew, of New York, yesterday delivered
in the senate u Enthusiastically
forceful and eloquent address in sup
port of the shipping bill. The adj

the upbuilding of the American mer-
chant marine, by the granting of sub.
sides, as provided for in the pending
measure. His discussion of the prob
lens of transportation which now
confront American manufacturers
and American farmers was notably
interesting and effective. The peror-
alton in which he urged that the
American flag be restored to the mast
heads of the freight-carrying ships of
the United States was "a brilliant piece
of oratory and ELECTED cordial APP
plauSe from senator's on the floor

ton of John Gibbons made in letter
to Chief Justice I'oggs, of the supreme
court Of the state, which he made pub
lie yesterday. The Judge, urging the
enactment Of a new law, writes
further: III is the Mecca of all the

lily to seek solace in free love. If a
man becomes dissatisfied with his wife
or a wife prefers another to her hus-
band here he or she applies for a d.

being refused. If the legislature
