the coronation of King Edward, It was
scarcely looked for prior to that event.
Consequently about the only surprise
expressed as the news spread through
London concerned the date rather than
the fact of the resignation. The real
interest was not so much in reference
to Lord Salisbury's withdrawal as it
was in the appointment of his sue
cessOr.
AS to Lord Salisbury's withdrawal,
the main reason is considered by prac-
tically all the best informed persons to
have been simply desire for quiet
life on the part of man advanced in
years, whose activities have been I'M
usual, and whose scientific tastes pre-
dispose him to study and seclusion.
That the retiring premiers health has
failed to some extent is undeniable;
but this is not more than perhaps il
is to be expected in a man of his years
and the close of the war in South At
RIGA and the return of the commanding
general there, is considered to be an
appropriate time for his withdrawal.

Cruelty to Horses.

In the parks and pleasure drives Of
New York locked tail horses are nu-
merous. 1t is barbarous to mutilate
animals in this way. and there is no
excuse for the practice. Animals
treated in this manner suffer tOrments
from flies and are permanently dis
figured. The banging of the tails of
thoroughbred runners does no harm.
No sinew or tendon or skin is touched
by the shears used on the ''bang tails"
Only the hair is shortened. But the
docked tail horses are victims of in
humanity.-New York Tribune.

ants, as well as the white servants.
There were the solutions, as well as
the ladies in waiting who stood by the
empress side, and the saints in Casar's
palace were in all probability found in
the kitchen as well rs in the parlor, in
the servants livery as well as in the
courtier's uniform. All of which proves
that God is ready to honor the man of
one talent, if he is a saint, just as
much as he honors the man of ten tai
ents who makes spiritual use of his
genius
My hearers, no matter what our walk
of life may be, will you today be
saint of God and throw yourself upon
the pardon and the mercy of Christ?
VIII you here and now dedicate your
life to the Saviour even if that dedica-
ton means the shedding of your life's
blood? Will you be willing to suffer
for Christ as well as to have the pleas
ure and the joys that come from the
Christian life? Are you ready to Shout
der for Christ the heavy burden. Are
you ready, for him, to have the feet
ache, the hands ache, the back ache,
the head ache and the heart ache?
l would plead with you to be willing
to make these sacrifices for Christ, as
did the saints in CAESARS palaces, be-
cause it is OIL account Of their sacri-
fees that Jesus is going to reward
you in another place which he has
builded for you, not in Rome, but upon
the golden boulevard of heaven. 1t is
only step from the palace of perse-
cution into the palace of reward. 1t
is only step from Caesars throne
when the saint of God is condemned
TO earthly death by the power of sin
10 the throne of God. where the re-
deemed saint is given everlasting life.
1t is only a step from the Roman are
IA, where the ancient saints were torn
to pieces by'the wild beasts, into the
green pastures by the side Of the still
waters, where the glorified saints shall
forever dwell with the Lamb. 1t is
only a step--a short step. Are we
ready to live for Christ in a place
where we may ultimately take that
step. although to take it we shall pass
through the fires of earthly persecu-
! ton? 1t is such a short step for the
saints of God from the palaces of Nero
TO the palaces which Christ has pre-
pared for his own that it does seem
as though the palaces of persecution
are but the vestibules of the palaces Of
reward. May God help each one Of
US to be true to his faith while we
dwell for little while on earth in one
Of Caesars earthly palaces!

Salisbury as premier and the appoint
ment of A. ]. Balfour, government
leader in the house of commons, as his
successor. This announcement was
made yesterday, and caused great sur
prise to those who had predicted that
no ministerial disturbance would fol-
low the change of premiers. Rumors
are now spreading to the effect that
other changes will follow.
The position of Joseph Chamberlain,
colonial secretary, is the chief subject
Df discussion. Those who seem to
know say that he will retain his port
folio in much the same conditions as
under Salisbury. The basis for this
belief is that Balfour consulted Cham
berlain before accepting his ncw Office

was effected by which the disappointed

Sinking an Evil Past.

But though it is so difficult for a man
to lead Christian life who has had an
evil past, yet if there are any such here
today bring to you the salutatiOns of
the saints in C9sar's palace. l want to
encourage you with the fact that, just
as some of the greatest of moral heroes
have been physical weaklings. so some
of the greatest of Christian heroes
have been those who have sinned even
worse than you have sinued. Harry
Monroe, who for years has run the Pa
cific Garden mission of Chicago and
who has been instrumental in saving
thousands of souls, was-what? A
college graduate? A member of q
Christian church and Christian
home! No. He was a converted gam
bier. Jerry McAuley Of New York
who did so much for the slums of New
York, was drunkard and a prize
fighter. John Newton was once vilely
dissOlute and depraved, though in aftel
life he wrote the noted hymn:

DETERMINED IN COURT
The Age of Accountability of the
 Salt River Valley Calf.

The case of Sharpe vs. Fisher was tried in the district court yesterday. About the only thing to be determined was whether a calf less than nine months cid can eat grass to an appre- ciable- extent, or to the extent that it ought to be paid for. This case has been through a justices court. The de- fcndant had hired pasture for an indef mite number of cattle. which were de- scribed as mixed. When the pasturage contract was at an end it appeared that there were eighty-one, counting the calves, and fifty one without them. The defendant wanted to settle on the latter basis, and the plaintiff oontended that the calves should be accounted for in the board bill at the rate of seventy five cents month. The age at which Q calf reaches the age oi expensive ac- countability has to be determined by the customs of the country. A num- Der of witnesses swCre that in this country it is not the custom to charge a calf under the age of nine months anything for its beard when it's moth CTS board is being paid for. Of course the owner of a pasture field could not be expected to become the wet nurse for a lot of orphan CT unattached calves for nothing, but in this case there were 1fty-one cows which were paid for and which it was reasonably supposed could care for their own pro geny, relieving the plaintiff of that duty. Judgment was accordingly ren- dered the plaintiff for the amount due him for the pasturage of the hfty-one cows.
 The case cf Hortanse Lane against Ed. Howell was reset for October 21 This litigation had been passed up by a justices court. The plaintiff had sued the defendant for the value of two horses which had escaped from her and which were lost by reason of the defendant having left a gate open. She was given judgment for both horses and an appeal was taken. One of the horses was recently found in the pos session of an Indian, who said that he had bought it.
 In the case of Rebecca Salari against the estate of Dr. W. c. Robbins, an action for damages for alleged mal- practice, a jury was demanded by the plaintiff The plaintiff demanded a jury in the case of Cope against Bur ford which was set for November %.

GRADERS AT WORK
 ON ?. & E. R. B.
Ground Broken Yesterday for
 Actual Construction
Will Be No Cessation of Activity Till the Rolling Stock Is in Mo- tion-A Great Event With No Demonstration.

Yesterday began the actual fulfill ment of the most important event that has happened in this valley since the construction of the s. F.. P. & P. rail- road. and the most important thing that could come to pass in the nature of human events except the construc- tiOn of the Tonto Basin reservoir Ground was broken by Sub contractor N. c. Webster for the permanent grad ing of the Phoenix and Eastern rail- road. Nearly a year ago there was sufficient work done to comply with the law, but as then announced it was for that purpose only. The work now in- augurated is of no temporary nature, but marks the beginning of efforts that will not cease till the locomotives of the P. x E. steam into Mesa City, and unless something now unforeseen oc- CUTS there will be no cessation of ac- tivity till the road is completed to Ben son.
 The right of way is now clear as far as Tempe, and there is no question but that by the time the grading gangs reach Salt river the right of way will be secured clear through to Mesa City. From there on no trouble is anticipated and the only thing that could stop the building of the road would be a lack of material or some similar thing that cannot be fOretold and need not be worried about till the time comes. For it's unceasing and persistent work the local right of way committee is entitled to the thanks of the entire people of the valley, for the efforts of that commit tee have materially aided the early in- auguration of the work which means so much to the business interests of this valley.
 The work was begun shortly after noon yesterday just east of the stock yards at the termination of the s. F., P. & P. track. There was no ceremony, no pitching of dirt by the mayor or other spectacular demonstration. The teams and the drivers and the big blows just went to the appointed place and began turning over the soil in the most practicable manner possible. The first
