INDUSTRIAL CRISIS,
Consul General at Frankfort Thinks
 One Threatens Europe.
Says That the Wave of Prosperity Which Has Steadily Risen Since lSQs Has Taken a Turn and
 Bseun to Recs6e.

In Europe an industrial crisis is threatened, according to Consul Gen eral Hanauer at Frankfort. ''The wave of industrial prosperity in Europe, which has steadily risen since 1895, has taken Q turn and begun to recede," {" writes this officer. "Aal signs point to- wards a crisis in industrial and finan- cial lines which may come about be- fore two years have passed. Any polit- ical disturbance of note may bring on the crisis suddenly and without warn ing. Coal mining is still booming, as the supply is not equal to the demand. The iron and steel works, including the manufacture of many lines of machin- cry and steel plates for warships, have orders which it will take some months to fill. but factories making small iron ware, nails, needles, bicycles and sew ing machines, are curtailing production and reducing working forces and wsge scales.
 There are doubts if the immensely capitalized electrical works of Ger many and other countries can keep fully employed after present contracts are filled. This line of industry, which in Germany alone represents an invest ment of nearly $500 .0oo, 900. has been largely instrumental in creating the present boom. Failures have already begun in the building trade, which in the large cities has been of a specu- lative nature and rested mainly on bor- rowed capital. Rents for business houses and dwellings have advanced, but will topple upon the first beginning of a business crisis.
 Ship owners are still jubilant, owing to the phenomenal advance in ocean transportation rates, which was brought about by the South African war and the present troubles in China.
 The German papers speak in alarm ing tones of the sad position of the textile industry, where stoppages of factories are the order of the day. Late statistics of the Gera district show 6,022 looms idle out of a total of H. s2s. The weavers still employed there can earn but S1.9O to S2.3s per week. This wretched wage, which is to sup port family, is next to a starvation rate, especially as fuel and provisions have greatly advanced in price, and the poor operative must pay govern. ment tax and school rate besides

Andrews Opera Company.

Manager Martin has been around the past two days with list in order to see if he could sell enough books to enable him to bring the Andrews Opera company here for an engage ment of two nights. He has met with good success so far, having sold about 75 books. This company is one of the very best opera companies on the load and will be a real treat to Prescott music lovers. Any body that is missed in the canvas should leave his name at Brisley's drug store at once.
 The book holders have day ahead of the general public in picking their seats for both nights.
 Every body should lend their sup port to such a talented company as 1t is seldom such large company stops at place as Prescott.

PLAN TRIPS TO SOUTH POLE.
Two Expeditions Preparing, One by German and One by British
 scientiEts.

Two expeditions to the south pole are preparing for next year.
 One is financed almost entirely by the German government, and the other partly by the British govern ment and partly from private sources. The German party is headed by Prof. Drygolski, who expects to take with him scientific experts on zoology, bot any, geology and several other sci enoes. His ship is now building at Kiel, and will be of wood specially constructed to resist ice pressure. Dr. Drygolski hopes to leave Kerguelan is- lands in September, 1901. The expe- dition will engage a total of 30 men.
 The British party will be led by Capt. Scott, with Prof. Gregory, of the Melbourne university, at the head of the scientific staff. A joint commit tee of the Royal and the Royal Geo graphical societies, with Sir Clements Markham as the leading spirit, is or ganizing the enterprise.
 To the governments support ot s225, 900, Sir Clements Markham ex- poets to add s15O,OOo by private sub scription.
 Of this amount s2OooO0 is to be in- vested in a boat now constructing at Dundee and a complete set of elab- crate scientific appliances. Capt. Scott expects to start in August, 1901, and take between 50 and 60 men. The German and English expeditions will cooperate as far ss possible.

HOME FOR MEN ONCE RICH.
Novel Plan to Care for Those Who Have Won and Lost For
 tunes.

It is proposed to establish in the heart of the handsomest residence sec ton in Poughkeepsie, N. r., home for old men who have had and lost fortunes. This novel proposition is made by Richard B. Ferris, for half century vice president of the Bank of New York, upon whom devolves the administration of trust fund of s25O.. GOO established by the late Samuel NJ. Pringle for the erection and main tenance of Pringle memorial home for aged men.
 Samuel NJ. Pringle was for fl years register and teller of the bank of New York. He succeeded his father, Thomas Pringle, who was teller of the same bank for 40 years. MT. Ferris has been negotiating for week past for the purchase of the mansion on Academy street erected by the late Oliver T. Beard at cost of s75.OOO, the furnishing of which cost an addi- tionai $4O,OOo.
 A New York lawyer named Williams. who was here recently looking up the title to the Beard property, talked freely of the scheme to locate the home in Poughkeepsie, and informed some of his acquaintances that the sale had been practically agreed upon.

vASSAR GIRLS FIGHT TRAMps
One Takes a Tiny Pistol from Her
 Music Roll and Shoots Assallant

With rolls of sheet music in their arms, Miss Nellie G. White and her sister Alice started the other day from their home near Glassport, Pa, to go to McKeesport to give lessons. On nthe lonely road skirting the Monon. gahela river they were aceosted by two cycling tramps. who demanded the girls purses.
 In their music rolls both girls car ried revolvers, which had been pre- sented to them by their father. The younger forgot her weapon of defense and, screaming, attracted the atten- tion of men rowing on the river.
 The tramps, seeing this, attempted to snatch the purse of the oldest young woman, but she slipped her hand into her music receptacle. whipped out her revolver and pointing 1t ct the man nearest her fired.
 The bullet struck him on the side of the head. He fell dazed, but man. aged to get up and wheel away into the woods. Both girls are said to be Vassar graduates.

Residence After Death.

Speaking of the recent storm, and the rise of the Salt river caused by it reminds Phenix Republican reporter of the big flood of 1891, and he says that it was during that flood that the wife of Major c. H. Vale, well known in Arizona, and who now is a resident of Philadelphia, died at her home on a ranch flew miles east of her" It must be source of great comfort to Mrs. Vale's friends to know that she is a resident of Philadelphia since her death. There is probably not one out of ten residents of the Salt river valley who would not be willing to die if they could be assured of going to Philadelphia to become permanent residents. A peculiar fact, though, as shown by the above item, and which may account for her taking up her residence in Philadelphia, is that she did not die where she was at the time of her death, but on a ranch three miles east of her. This anomalous circumstance may account for her present place of residence.
 Gray introduced bill providing for the appointment of commission of two from the council and of two from the house to select site for territo- rial prison and appropriating S20O to defray the expense, was read first and second times. Gray moved to further suspend the rules and put the bill on final passage. Considerable discus sion was elicited over this bill. Crouch asked how many of these bills would be introduced. St. Charles made a humorous and effective speech against the bill. Barker read the report he had prepared when at Yuma on the visiting committee. He recites bad state of affairs owing to a lack of fla cilities. He made a vigorous speech in favor of prison removal. In the course of the discussion St. Charles said the bill was simply a scheme for prison removal and was intended to favor the interests of special locality. Geer called St. Charles down with an objection to such a charge, and St. Charles apologized.

BEATING THEIR WAY.
Two Young AustFians Who Are Try ing to Circle the Globe with
 out a Cent.

Franz Skla and Karl Gretsch, young Austrians, arrived in New York the other day on the Kaiser Frederick, and are busily engaged in beating their way around the earth. They have a wager of s2O,OOO with Cheva- Her de Kamarof. Russian nobleman, and expect to win. despite the fact that at present they are without funds and have a cold winter ahead of them. These men are 23 years old each, and are expert electricians. Their chief stock in trade is an abil- ity to do tricks on a wheel, and they are much in need of employment. They fared pretty well in Europe, and had 220 marks on leaving Hamburg on September 12. This. according to contract, they had to give to some charitable institution. so the Red Cross society was made the benen- ciary. Three years is the space of time in which the tour must be com pleted. Every capital of every coun- try in the world must be visited, and the travellers must land in Vienna without a cent. They worked their way across the Atlantic as pantry stewards, and expect to do the same on the Pacific.

New Fast-Firing Rife.

An Australian inventor has produced a rifle which fires 40 shots a minute, but this speed'has often been surpassed. More than 25 years ago the Soper rife, a sinele-shot breech-loader, was fired 60 times in one minute. The first mag azine rife, that used in the American civil war, fred only ten shots a minute. Then came the Spencer" which emptied its magazine of seven shots in ten seconds. Probably 40 shots min ute is the average maximum of mod ern service rifles, but there are auto matic rifles, in principle similar to the Maxim, which can fire ten shots a sec ond, the difficulty being to supply the ammunition quickly enough for 8 min ute's continuous firing.

Small Pox in Jeroms.

A telephone message to the Journal Miner today stated that a man by the name of w. G. Smith arrived in that place a couple of days ago from Gal lup, N. M., and yesterday broke out with well defined case of small pox. He was immediately sent to the pest house and every precaution taken to prevent the further spread of the dis ease.
 While the case is well defined vet it IS in a mild form and very little doubt IS entertained for his recovery, and the physicians claim that the disease IS not likely to give any trouble this kind of weather as the climatic condi- tions prevailing now will kill it out very quickly.
