THE gross earnings of the Southern Pacific railroad for the past year are close up to $so,0OO,OO0, an in- crease of some $l0,0O0,000 over any previous year. Such unprecedented prosperity is almost Ian embalr rlss- ment of riches," as the question is raised whether dividend upon the stock shall be paid, or the surplus spent on bettermeuts. As Arizona folks have contributed a number of dollars to this fine sum, they are not too bashful to ask for the improve ments and a few extra miles of rail. road.

 He is just an uninformed, blundering male reporter who ran into some strange feminine function, which was in progress out on Pico street yester- day afternoon and if the brown-eyed girl with elbow sleeves hadn't oblig- ingly thrown little light on the sxb- ject he would lave come away in dense ignorance of the nature of the affair which was unlike any high tea he had ever read about.
 1t was an unbonneted function and on the vine-covered veranda dozen or more maids were grouped about small tables.
 There were quantities of floral deco rations in the shape of what are fem ininely referred to as Artificial low ers," these disarranged in careless confusion about the floor; upon each table stood n suspicious-looking glass of colored water and scattered about were small blocks of bright hues vary ing from pea-green to virulent yellow. Upon close observation it was discov- cred that each girl held in her lap a wonderful millineary creation which seemed to serve some purpose in tue rites and ceremonies in progress.
 "Of course you're dying to know what we're doing" exclaimed the o6liging elbow-sleeved girl. "This is the Pico Street Restoration Club; if that makes you any wiser"
 It didn't, so the brown-eyed girl con tinued.

A FEW changes were made during the past week in the incumbents of the territorial government. The heads of departments are slowly selecting their assistants, wisely looking for the most competent to fill the places of those retiring, and not choosing for political reasons. In the shuttle, Dr. Ancil Martin, of Phoenix, succeeds Dr. D. NJ. Purman as member of the terri torial board of medical examiners. and w. English, a law partner of Attorney General Ainsworth, is now assistant secretary of Arizona, position which has been most ably filled by Harry R. Tritle, of Prescott. Miss Madge Dawes is the assistant librarian and stenogra- pher.

An Examiner correspondent in late letter says: Nome has Congregations al Church. That, perhaps, is not start ling. But the facts that it was built in midwiuter; that four feet of snow was cleared away to reach the ground 1; that the thermometer stood at I6 de- grees below zero when ground, or ra- ther snow, was broken; that .he men worked on the church while icicles from two to three inches long hung from their mustaches that the build ing was ready for occupation within three weeks from the time work was begun these are out of the ordinary even in the building of churches in the far north. Everything moved with mill itary precision. The janitor rang the church bell (perched on an open frame outside the old place of worship every morning at o'clock to inform the men that so far as could be seen the wealth CT was favorable for work at 7 o'clock in the morning snd too dark to see at 6 o'clock in the evening, so the eight hour system was adopted.
 The building of the church has been a splendid object lesson in Christian unity. Men of all creeds and no creed contributed of their means and volun- teered their labor most generously to the work. Three Roman Catholics rendered willing help.
 Nome is very proud of it's church, a fact demonstrated by the crowds which attend the services, and already more than tax the seating capacity. Strange as it may sound to outsiders, Nome is decidedly church-going city and can show an evening congregation of 800 persons.

WON'T HAVE TOPAYCOSTS
Supreme Court Reverses the Local
Courts Decision in the Eighth
Ward Election Contest.

At Philadelphia yesterday the SUI
rrcme court reversed Judge Il. W.
Archbalds decision in the Eighth ward
election contest. In other words, the
Supreme court says that the petit
TONERS will not have to pay the costs;
that the Vaughan bill does not refer
to contests pending at the time 1t WAS
passed.
This will De good news for the sign
ers of the Langstaff petition, VINO have
been doing good deal OF worrying
since the decision in the Eighth warl
contest was rendered.
In February. 1899, w. IL. Thomas
was elected constable OF the Eighth
ward by six votes and on March 20
John Walsh instituted a contest. At
that time the law provided that the
petitioners We're exempt from paying
the costs of a contest II they showed
probable cause. In May of that year
the Vaughan bill was passed, whicn
said that the petitioners should pay the
costs unless the contestant showed
that he was legally elected.
The Eighth ward contest showed
that Thomas was elected and the dis
position of the costs was passed upon
ny Judge Archibald I'm a rule obtained
by T.. W. Thaycr, ithe commissioner to
compel the city to show cause why it
should not pay the costs. Tn this
opinion Judge Archibald held that the
law at the time the question came
before the court for consideration APP
piled. rather than the law i'm force
when the contest began. He thcreupcn
applied the Vaughan act and directed
that the petitioners pay the costs,
which amounted To about 1000.
An appeal was taken to the Supreme
court and was argued last month ut
Philadelphia. The decision of the
court handed down Yesterday. reverses
the decision of Judge Archibald.
