ODD NAMES IN DIRECTORY,
There Are Five William sckinIeYs, Adam,
Eve, Cain and Abel

|
/, In the Brooklyn Directory, whict
has just been issued, there are the
names of five William MtKinleys and
George Dewey. A search for odd
names reveals many such. Ifit is true,
as Mr.. Bryan proclaimed short time
since, that President Mckinley is also
emperor of Porto Rico and Philippines,
etc.. then he can form the nuclious of a
court right here in Brooklyn with q
King, Prince, Duke, Lord, Baron, Earl
and Knight and have them looked af
ter by q Mayor, Alderman, Constable,
Counsellor and Judge. Part of his
empire is here now. comprising Eng
land, Ireland, Wales and France and
peopled by English, Irish. Welch,
French, German, Dutch. a Prussian
and Turk. There are also in the Dl.
rectory the names of Adam, Eve, Cain
ar Abel; Moses, Solomon and David.
Six months of the year are represented
by March, April. May, June. July and
August; we have Day, Night, Noon
and Weeks; besides Spring, Summer,
Fall and Winter. We have a few
Bridges; too many of one kind and not
enough of another; Bands, Bouqu ct
and Borax, which is put up in a Bag,
Box or Bale.
Brooklyn can also boast of a West
m ,nster Abbey. and also Church and
Chapel, built of brick. stone and wood,
that is looked after by Bishop and
Priest and kept clean with a broom and
brush by the Sexton. who also devotes
a portion of bis time in toiling of bell.
He'll and blazes are in the midst of us,
but possibly there Is no connection be-
tween the two. Financially the bOr-
ough Is pretty well fixed, having a |
bankers and banks, with money, bills,
penny and sterling and minerals and
metals such as gold, silver, copper,
Nickel, zinc, brass, iron and steel and
also few precious stones such as a
diamond, pearl, opal. garnet and ruby.

If be cared for anything else than the |
above bird, quail or partridge might |
suit his fancy, and for dessert be could |
have an apple, peach, pear, ounce or
q berry. Should he happen to be from
5he West piece of a bull or bullock, a
buffalo or bear might suit his fancy.
Some of the trades are represented by
Barber, Shoemaker, Bookbinder,
Painter. Carpenter, Tailor, Butcher,
Tinker, Brewey and Cooper. If Brook

Wind Mills and Progress.

1t Is Interesting in this age of new
Ideas, when steam and electricity are
so much in evidence, to notice how
some of the older methods of obtaining
power are still profitably employed.
Take for example the use of the wind
mill Nobody knows when this useful
| device was invented. 1t is rumored
that the old Romans knew of its use,
and there is another story that the
Saracens introduced it into Europe
But while the early history of the wind
mill is shrouded is uncertainty, we do
know that it came to play SO import
ant part in the little Kingdom of Hol-
land as to be considered national nee
essity in keeping that courageous ma
tion out of the hands of the sea.
In Holland wind mills are used to
get rid OF the water; in America they
are employed to produce it. Out on
the Great Plains in Kansss. Dakota,
Iowa and the adjoining states, an ideal
place for wind mills, where the country
lies fiat, and the winds sweep uninter.
rupted for miles, the landscape is fair
ly dotted with them. They are all sizes
and kinds, some tall and graceful, 9TH
ers placed low and resembling huge
paddle wheels with the lower half
housed, and the upper half catching
the wind? A number of the larger
ones grind corn or do other similar
work, but the majority are engaged in
pumping up water, for the needs of
the stock and the irrigation of the land,
from the exhaustless supply below the
ground. OF course each pump can
bring up but a small amount Of water
at stroke, but it is astonishing to see
how much this little aggregates in the
course Of a year. An estimate has re-
Gently been made of the capacity Of a |
windmill running ten hours day for
six months from an interesting report |
on wind-mills and their use, issued this
year by the United States Geological
Survey, which is studying the Great |
Plains to make available these rich un-
derground water resources. 1t was
found that an average wheel, twelve |
feet in diameter, with the wind blow
Ing sixteen miles an hour, Is capable Of |
pumping 1920 gallons an hour, 19,2O0 |
in day of ten hours, $4,000 each |
and 3,456,0 900 gallons in six
This is the work of only one
Add to it the work of hun
1reds and thousands of others, and !,
realize the vast amount of water
brought into use by this means.
1t Is difficult to appreciate the signifi-
,ance of this work and the value of the
wind mill as factor In the develop
nent OF the country. 1t means In the
irst place an abundance of water for
tock and irrigating purposes. and wat
II always means a great increase in
he prOductiveness OF the land. This
s followed by an increase In values
md the possibilities OF larger popula
ion; bigger crops and better prices,
nd more business and increased earh-
ngs for the transportation lines. This !
) what the wind mills are helping to
10 in America.

The reputation that Hon. A. G.

tional convention is a source of much
qualification to his friends, and Just
what was expected of him. His stand
on all the important questions that
are being brought before that body is
making his name familiar throughout
the State. The Franklin Times DEM
ocrat, published Rocky Mount, has
the following complimentary mention
of him In speaking the work before the
convention

being the most important 1t is of
far greater moment than any other
question before the convention today.

ministered in q saloon near the Union

placed in his drink at that time. His
condition is extremely critical. His
tongue Is swollen to abnormal proper
tions.
His daughter telegraphed the chief OF
police today that che would arrive in
the morning. Smith returned to his
hotel early Monday morning in dazed
condition, and was later discovered in

disrobed. The police are investigating,
but have discovered no clew to the per-
petrators of the deed.

Child Of Sin
Is Now In Luck,

NEW YoRK, April 1.-THE pathetic
story of little Miss Caroline Wegner all
came outin the City Court at Yonkers
yesterday, Miss Wagner is a dimpled,
rosy, child OF seven months, who now
suddenly finds that she has father, a
home, grandma and future. Thusday
she was supposed not to have any OF
them, she was regarded as foundling.
As near as Mrs. Carrie Wagener, the
women who had supposed she was grand
mother to the little miss, can find out the
child is the daughter OF Chicago million
aire and her mother was a typewriter.
But the story is woven around half
dozen people and includes several OF the
most hairbreath escapades of the Cuban
blockade runners when dynamite

into the island. There are broken hearts

Increased Pay
for Postal Clerks.

WASHINGTON, u. c., April u.--An
important step in the direction OF a re-
classification ot the salaries OF clerks in
presidential postofTices will be taken
under the termsof the Postal Appropria-
ton act which becomes effective on July
II For many Years the postal officials
have urged a reclassifcation Of post
Office clerks. the present system en-
bodying many confusing and synony-
nous designations and not providing
for the regular advancement which pre-
walls in other branches of the service.
No specific Law has been enacted on the
subject. but the department during the
next year will have at its disposal suf-
fieient funds to establish what is ex-
pected ultimately to result in the re-
classification of the clerical places IN
presidential postoffices. The chief de-
feet OF the present system is that it pro-
vides for no regular promotion and the
minimum salary is fixed at too low q
figure.
Estimates are now being prepared by
Chief Beavers OF the Salary and Allow
ance division and he expresses the opin-
ION that it will be possible to fix the
| minimum salary in second-ciass Offices
at about s400; in the smaller first-class
Offices at from 800 to $500, and in the
larger first.class offices at 5000.

lie says that the eastern portion of
the territory is experiencing boom in
mining which may result in bringing
into existence few more big mining
camps. The General Electric company,
under the direction of d. NJ. Riordan OF
Tucson, has bonded eighty claims near
Clifton and active development work has
begun. The Shannon Copper company
is building spur railroad to its smelter
to connect with the Arizona Copper
company's road, and the latter company
is widening its narrow gauge to standard
size which will save the expense of trans
fer at Lordsburg.
From Morenci a narrow gauge road
has been built to connect with the
Arizona Copper company's road at
Gutherie, and Mr.. Kelly says this little
road is one OF the most remarkable in
construction that he has ever seen. 1t
winds about the mountain and shoots
down the canyons with serpentine
windings, making four distinct "horse.
shoes" before it reaches the lower mesa
lands. Morenci is located on the
heighth of mountain and heretofore
has been reached by baby gauge which
run straight up the mountain side.
Mr.. Kelly Gays that the ella valley is
prosperous and the ranchers are re-
ceiying an abundance of water for their
crops.

Taxes are Nearly
ali Paid in the County

The people OF Pima county are in a
better condition financially than the re-
sidents Of any county in Arizona. The
barometer by which this is revealed il
the amount Of outstanding and unpaid
taxes upon the books ol County Treas
urer Dractman. There Is no better
way of feeling the pulsation of the
pocket book than this presents, and il
will Ike seen by the figures which follow
that Pima county people are in excel
lent financial health.
The tax roll for 1890 in round mum
bers was $ll4,000. There was collected
during the year tll0,0O0 in round num-
bers of which at present there is 81 200
sold to the territory in uncolIccted per-
sonai property taxes. OF this amount
there will he a portion collected. Tne
difference derived from the total Of the
above figures deducted from sll4 600
represents the amount of tax which is
due from the water company aud suit
for which has been brought against the
city, the individual owners having
failed to pay the tax when Tia
waterworks were sold to the municipa
lity.
Thus 81 200 is the uncollected per
sonal property tax and sales TO the ter
ritory, which leaves a little over one
per cent OF the tax roll uncoliected
This record, it is safe to say, is the bes
OF any county in Arizona.

4 Mothers Crime.
Burns Her Child.

PAREKRsBuRa, w. Va, April H.
Word was received here today from Cal
houn county, near the Clay county line,
stating that Mrs. Morris had burned
her infant child to death in the most
cruel manner. She wanted 10 be rid OF
the child and held its feet in the fire
till they we're burned off Then, putting
its head in the flames, she held it there
till the child was dead. Horrible and
improbable as the story sounds, it is
said to be well authenticated, and there
is no doubt that it is true. The child
was about a year old and had worried
its mother by crying. The region is re-
mote, and no word has been received as
to whether she was arrested or not.
