Church Attendance in Summer.


1t has often been observed of late
years that too many churches freeze
up in hot weather" and complaints of
pastors of poor attendance in the hot
ter months Of the year would indicate
that the saying is too often true.
The seriously interested Christian
will sometimes inquire if such condi-
ton is necessary Or not, and whether
| the observation of such fact by the
worldly man is not calculated to lessen
rather than increase his faith and con-
| fidence in the genuineness of that
need of Christian religion which
| loses its zeal and enthusiasm whenever
it takes a little sacrifice of mortal
comfort in order to maintain Christian
zeal and activity. 1t has moreover
been observed that those who pro
fess faith in Christianity but will not
sacrifice physical ease to a good de-
gree for the eXcellency of the service
and Joy Of Christian endeavor, but
prefer to sacrifice the latter for the
4 former, even in hot weather, thereby
not only show preference for the for.
mer over the latter and are setting
up not only the most odious comparis
on Of values between the two states
but by contract of adoption favoring
the former, actually place Christian
duty and service in secondary light
to that OF worldly ease to which they
have accorded first place.
1t Is no matter for surprise there
fore, that there are SO many uncon
verted people in the very centers o
our Christian civilization, where

How to Estimate the Cost.

The cost of telephone plant can be
estimated approximately at the pres
ent prices Of material and labor on a
basis of the number of telephones in
stalled. For example, an exchange of
500, installed within radius of one or
one and one-half miles, and with no
conduit OF cable work, but OF p-to-date
construction otherwise, will cost ap.
proximately $65 station, or $32,5OO;
this figure will come SO near the real
cost that company can base its cal
culations on 1t with a degree Of GER
tainty. As the number of stations in

MIR. sCHwAB's COUNTRY SEAT.

Where the beach off Oriental Grove juts into the sound at Great Neck. L. l., Charles NJ. Schwab has purchased in the neighborhood of s40O GOO worth of land, comprising in all about 16O acres The transactions involved in the ac- Quisition of the property had their in- Ccption more than year ago, but so quietly were they conducted that no in&ling of them reached publicity. Mr. Schwab's intention was to merge the various parcels into one magnificent country estate, but now, after spending more than $100.0OO- in it's improvement, he has abandoned this idea and, with out occupying his property at all, has leased it for a term of years.
 Shortly after Nr. Schwab took up the duties of the presidency of the United States Steel corporal ton, which involved his residence in this city, he determined to buy a country home He cnjoined his broker to absolute secrecy.
 The first purchase was that of Ori- ental Grove itself, which forms what is known as "thc point" at Great Neck Then followed the acquisition of the land of the Ricknagel estate and the Arnold place, both of which adjoined Oriental Grove. Some few parcels, of several acres each, were added later,

THE LITTLE TOT.

'I want cents worth of glory di- vine. said a fiaXen-halred tot, looking iatently at the clerk in south Boston drug store last evening. Everybody within hearing Of the infantile voice either laughed or smiled. while Mr. Grey, the drug man. looked serious and appeared to be thinking. Are you sure it is glory divine you w3Et?" he asked the little one.
 Yes, sir, was the prompt response.
 For what does mamma want it?" was the next question.
 ITO throw it around the room and in the back yard" said the little tot, in- noCertly.
 Isn't it chloride of lime she wants Q" asked the drug man.
 The little girl nodded her assent. and soon she was on her way home to mother. Its only one of many enig- mas which face the drug clerks every day in their lives" said the apothe- cary. The little girls do not make mistakes very often, but the little boys and some of the heads of families are always guessing at what they want and letting us guess what they mean.

suggest that it would be most loudly clamOred for The machines are made in two sizes, costing respectively $250 and S350 The inventor estimates that with ice at s per ton. as it is in Wash
 ington. the small machine will cost for operation about $1.25 per twenty-four hours. In this country, where the tenn perature is greater and the price of ice double, it would cost more than twice that and Instead of running it 60 days in a year one would want it running for four months. Then, too. it is pre- sumable that little comfort would be gained by a business man who had one in his office and was required to jump out into the street where the temper ature was 120 degrees, about forty times a day. It would also more than likely prove a detriment to health un- der these conditions. But in hospitals or sick rooms where the one to enjoy it's benefits is constantly confined. on palace cars crossing the desert and in the east where rich men swelter through short humid summers it ought to prove an invention of considerable merit.

ITS CALLED A EEVO
Willis L. Moore's Machine for Max
 ing Climate to Order.

Mention has been made by the press generally of the invention by Willis L.. Moore, chief of the weather bureau service, of d machine for cooling the air in houses on warm days. A de- scription of the machine sufficiently in detail to show the principal on which it works will no doubt be read with interest.
 In the first place the machine is called a 'Nevo" and works by gravity requiring no power, and the cooling is done with ice. The mechanical part of it is simply an arrangement that handles the air automatically.
 In general appearance the invention is simply a cylinder set on end with a horizontal pipe with elbow entering it at the top and a similar horizontal pipe with elbow leaving it at the bottom. It is set on legs and is portable, so it can be easily moved from room to room. This cylinder is divided into two com partments, an upper and a lower. In the upper compartment are two pipes like the flues in a boiler, the rest of the space being filled with ice. These two 1lues are connected with a receptacle in the middle of the cylinder which in turn is drained by another fue in the lower part of the cylinder, it being sur rounded by several similar pipes through which the air passes eventu- ally, leaving the machine through the horizontal dicharge pipe in the bottom. The lower part of the cylinder, except the space occupied by the pipes, is also filled with ice and chloride of sodium or chloride of calcium.
 The fbaOrv of inc machine ie siy,1r,Irv the reversal of a smokestack or the re- versal of what the weather men call a cyclonic action where the hot air raises to the higher altitude and keeps up the process till the whirlwind is formed and the funnel shaped cloud sucks up everything it touches.
 By running the top or feed pipe of this machine out of the room into the warm air. the warm air enters and passing over the ice is slightly cooled. That makes it heavier and it sinks to lower levels till it finally passes into the lower part of the cylinder through the pipes packed in ice and chloride of sodium and consequently having a still lower temperature. It finally finds it's way out at the bottom of the machine. After this process has been started a short time a draft is created that pulls the air through at a rapid rate. It is said that a little wheel like a wind mill placed in the discharge pipe flies around like it was getting it's speed from a dynamo.
 But the cooling of the air is only one of the good things accomplished. The contact of the air with the exterior of the melting ice robs the air of all inn purities thus washing and purifying it. The ice also precipitates the moisture in the air and by the time it has passed through the machine it is practically dry.
 But after all the machine at the present time can have but few practical uses and especially in the southwest where the long hot summers would

A REMARKABLE RECORD.

Chambcrlain's Cough Remedy has a remarkable record. It has been in use ,ur over thirty years, during which time many million bottles have been sold and used. It has lonS been the standard and main reliance in the treatment of croup in thousands of homes, yet during all this time no case has ever been reported to the manu- facturers in which it failed to effect a cure. When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse or even as soon as the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is pleasant to take, many children like it. It con tains no opium or other harmful sub stance and may be given as confidently to baby as to an adult. For sale by Eivey & Hulett, druggists.

RETURN OF A. S. MILLS
Affairs in the East-Mark Hanna and
 Other Matters.

Alvin s. Mills, former proprietor Of the Phoenix Enterprise, returned to the city yesterday morning after an ab
 scnCe of six months. Last spring he was called to the home of his parents at Soldier, Kan. by the illness of his father, whom he had not seen for ten years. He remained there until after the death of his father and the settle ment of family affairs, when, accom- panied by a sister. he made tour of the east. visiting, among other places the former hone Of the family in ohio.
 The east, MT. Mills sa is enjoying a measure of prosperity whiCA can be realized only by Ing on the scene. Smoke is pouring rom every factory in the land, and -,nufd cturers are all behind with their orders. If net an other order were pt ced within the 9eXt eighteen months, sign of the falling off f business COT be observed about the factories and iron mills, for it will take them that lc 3 to catch up.
 hTr. Mills learnC something in Ohio that was interest,". g to him as a dem ocrat. It was 5out Mark Hanna. MT. Mills had be in the west ever since Mark Hanla appeared on the political horizon, md what he knew Of him he gathered / m the distorted source of the ne-v, apers. From the democratic newsT IFS he acquired the impression that - Hanna wore horns. From the repub' n papers he learned that he was tho lvior of the country.
 While both iI-.. ressions are exagger- ated. Mir Mills. judging of the opinion in which the Ohio statesman is held at home, believes the republican papers were more nearly correct He is the idol of his party iE that state, and not only O: his own party, but Of a large section Of the democratic party. The popular confidence is not only in his political wisdom, but in his political and personal honesty Tn his opinion it will be a hard thing for the demo- crats to make any headway in the state of Ohio sc long as the republican party of the state is directed by Mir. Hanna.
 Mfr. Mills returns with the same story Of bountiful crops in the great Missis- sippi valley that have been brought by all returning pilgrims from the east He adds Cle item to the information that had escaped the notice Of the other observers. That was that the corn is several inches higher this year than the eldest agriculturist ever saw it be- fore. Throughout the state of Illinois they call the corn fields this year corn groves or forests Each stalk bears from two to four ears.
 Concerning the political outlook in the east. Mir. Mills said he had TO ob- servations to make. There can be no doubt. though. about the safety of the country. however things may go.
 Mir. Mills will remain in Phoenix, or at least in the territory, and will prob ably enter the newspaper field again

A WOMAN TO BE PRETTY
Must Have Luxuriant and Glossy Hair,
 No Matter What Color.

The finest contour of a female face, the sweetest smile of a female mouth, loses something if the head is crowned with scant hair. Scant and falling hair, it is now known, is caused by a para site that burrows into the scalp to the root Of the hair, where it saps the vital !ty. The little white scales the germ throws up in burrowing are called dan druf. To cure dandruf permanently, then, and to stop falling hair, that germ must be killed. Newbros Herpicide, an entirely new result of the chemical la boratory, destroys the dandruff germ, and of course, stops the falling hair, and cures badness.

As the wounded man reeled
from the saddle, he turned his gun
on Phillips who was about to fire
at him and sent the contents OF
his gun crashing through his brain,
killing him instantly.
The companion of Skidmore and
Msyfeld turned their guns on each
other simultaneously and both
went down seriously wounded. A
m oment later, and they fired again,
both shots taking effect.
Fearing trouble between the
men, a party of friends had fol-
lowed them from Collinsville, and
arrived on the scene in tine TO
prevent the wounded men from
finishing their desperate work.
The wounded men, and the
body of Phillips, were taken into

moned.
The physicians pronounced the
