SUMMER HEAT IN ARIZONA.

The heat in Arizona this year was 1 terrible. I endeavored to ascertain
 how high the mercury rises in the shade. Meeting Rev. &. A. Thompson, superintendent of our missions in that
 ccountry, some distance from his
 home and not a little exhausted I
 asked if he was in his usual vigor, and
 he replied that he was not, that
 Sunday or two before he had filled
 three appointments with the ther-
 momter at 116 in the shade Subse-
 duently I related this to an office of the
 Southern Pacific road, who said that
 it often rises to 11S; but that he had
 been employed with fl others in very
 depressed and narrow valley; the
 temperature there rose to 128; one man
 died from the effect of the heat, and
 four or five were prostrated-the only cases he had known of anything like the heat prostration of the East. The mountains of Arizona surrounding the desert will furnish feed for stock for several months in the year, but they are liable the summer to die An im- mense stock business is expected to grow out of the vast irrigating schemes which are now attracting public attention At some points the rainfall seldom passess five inches in year. and there are others where it hardly reaches two. Extreme heat Is, there- fore not very dangers, on account of the total absence of humidity. The waters of the Colorado are unlimited, and 1t seemed strange to be told that the period of high water on the Color ado river in the summer months, the | very reverse of eastern conditions. The | great problem is to irregate, with the | water, lands now known as the Color l ado desert. The soil near the river is | richer and deeper than that brought 1 down by the Nile, and huge canal is being dug which Is capable of carrying 1000 cubic feet of water per second to irregate those lands.-New York Christ ian Advocate

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion ThcRter. THE OLD HOMESTEAD" AT THE 

THE OLD HOMESTEAD' AT THE | HYPERION.
 Pastoral plays may come and pastoral
 plays may go, but apparently "The Old
 Homestead" which will be at the Hy-
 perion tonight and tomorrow night, is destined to go on forever At all events.
 1t does not show any signs of falling off
 in public favor; on the contrary, the enthusiasm of it's myriads of admirers
 seems to grow with what it feeds on,
 and they seem to like it better with every hearing. Sixteen years of service for star and play have not dulled the interest or taken the edges off the fine
 qualities of either, and 1t is said that
 MT. Thompson's performance of Joshua Whitcomb is as finely drawn to-day as
 when 1t was in embryo Among such
 character drawings as Bouccicault's
 "The Shaughraun," John E. Owens
 ''Solon Shingle" and Joseph Jefferson's
 Rip Van Winkle,' MT. Thompson's
 idealization of the Yankee farmer cas- fly takes it's place. and, like them, Joshua Whitcomb is indissolubly linked with Denman Thompson. "The Old Homestead" production in this city is promised to be the same as in the met ropolitan theaters, and in addition to MT. Thompson himself the cast will be of superior quality. Incidentally the double quartette will be heard, as will also the grand choir in the striking scene before Grace church. Seats now on sale Prices $1, 75 cents, 50 cents, 35 cents and 25 cents
 Winchester" Edward McWade's great war play of the century, will be presented at the Hyperion Thursday evening, November z. Alan Dale says of this production: Winchester is another happy experiment. It is hu- man and interesting play. It is not the regulation thing--it Is very much bet ter"
 MANSFIELD IN "BEAUCAIRE."
 Telegraph reports of Mansfield's cre- ation of "Beaucaire" in his new comedy in Philadelphia, and the long critical re- views which arrived later, all emphasize the fact that the great actor has in the delightful play made the greatest hit of l his career Beaucaire is destined, they | say, to become more popular and last | longer than Prince Karl or Beau Brum- mel MT Mansfield plays the Colonial theater, Boston whence he comes di- | rect to this city on his way to the Her aid Square theater, New York, for his winter season. The management takes pride in this announcement, | as Mansfield will probably not be seen in more than six or seven cities during this entire season. Mansf1elds name is a guarantee that New Haven shall have the entire original company, as perfect a production as money and taste can supply, and that "Beaucaire" will be presented here as carefully as in New York, It will be presented here on Sat urday night, November 9.

AT WELCOME HALL
Rev. pr. Levy of Temple Mishkan

Rev. Dr. Levy of Temple Mishkan Israel Spoke to Men, Last Night
 An appreciative and attentive audi l ence listened to the Rev. Dr. Levy. pastor Of Mishkan Israel temple, at 1 Welcome hall last evening. His ad-
 dress on "The Jewish Church; It's
 Faith and Work was to the members
 of the Welcome Hall Mems club. He
 spoke of the difference in beliefs exist Ing in the different schools of the Jew
 ish people, the orthodox and the ad- vance schools, and their at titude to- ward other religious sects of the world.
 He said that there was no hostility as many people supposed; that 1t was on-
 ly a seeming hostility to the religion of others. This feeling had it's origin with | those Jewish people living and being | oppressed by the Russian government because they styled themselves the de- lenders of the faith. If the Russian government who thus set themselves up oppressed by the people in this way what must Christianity be? All of this feeling of hostility is fast dying out and the foreign Jew as he comes to this country learns the way of the people and finds them friendly disposed he has a better idea of the religion and better understands that the attitude is not hostile one.
 He also spoke of the great evil of religious prejudices among sects, stat ing that ignorance was at the bottom of it all, the people in general simply didn't understand. It is true that one-half of the world does not know how the other half lives, but it is more true that more than one-half of the world does not know what the other portion believes. This ignorance Is the cause of all the petty strifes among sects. The matter of a mans creed was an accident, an incident to his birth. It doesn't matter what a man is if he has character and character being the crowning point of mans life all sects are tending to that state when there will be no sects.
 At the conclusion of his address Dr. Levy answered many questions of va rious natures all however having bearing on the subject under discus i sion and many were in consequence much edified by his explanations and | answers.
