AimIess Search For Christ.
Fanatic Women Leave Their Homes
and Naked Form a Crusade.
Cincinnati Enquirer:

Cincinnati Enquirer;
Winniped, Man, August To-
With oxgoads and horsewhips a
party OF Doukhobor men broke up
what threatened to be another
crusade to the north of Swan River.
Several hundred women took adj
vantage Of the temporary absence
ST their men folk in the fields some
distances away and, discarding all
their clothes, started off across
country in another aimless search
fer Christ.
With their naked bodies glisten-
ing in the sunlight the procession
was strung out over quarter of a
mile. Headed by fanatic named
Sophia Strobeloff, they sang their
re;rd hymns and trudged bravely
snward across the prairie and
Through the broken underbrush.
Erenzied with the religious fever
they paid no attention to the briars
which tore their skin or the swarms
a Sizes which almost devoured them
piecemeal.
r was in the afternoon that the
ualle members of the colony over
took them. Prayers were of no avail
"a make them turn back. Husbands
pleaded in vain with their wives
aad lovers with their Sweethearts.
No words could move them, and
At last one of the men became so |
aagered at the leader, Strobeloff, |
fbat he attacked her with his
whip. Patience had ceased to be
4 virtue, and the others, following
his example, turned upon the wo-
men.
The misguided creatures cried
aloud for mercy, but shouting, For
home, for home the men piled
fheir lashes without relenting until
all of the naked pilgrims had turn
ed on their homeward way. Many
o. the women were badly cut by the
fierce whipping, but they have
learned a lesson which is not likely
TO be forgotten.
The men have nearly all put
aside the species of religious insani-
iy which affected the colony last :
year. All of the ringleaders in the {
AFFAIR have been relegated to the /
seelusion of the jails, and armed {
patrols Of The mounted police are
IA the watch to prevent occurrences !

RESERVOIR IN ARIZONA.
Biggest Artificial Lake in the World
to Be Constructed at Tonic
Basin by the Government.

Charles D. WolcOtt, director of the
United States geological survey, ar
rived yesterday IN his second trip to
this region to examine storage reser-
voir possibilities, and today he made
public in an address before the Salt
River Valley Users association a tel
egram which he had just received
from the secretary of the interior,
who announced to the people here the
intention of the government OF build
site is sixty miles northeast of Phoe-
nix, and when completed the reservoir
will be the greatest artificial lake in
the world. The dam will backwater
miles. 1t will be employed in I'M
pounding flood water, thus regulating
the water supply of ample water at all
seasons Of 100, 900 acres Of land I'M
der cultivation n the reclamation OF
200, 900 acres of arid land. The Tonic
site, in the eyes of the interior de-
partment, is the most admirable OF
five selected in the west for the APP
plication of the Observation-Disclosures
act, and the result of operations here
will be instructive in the launching by
the government of other great western
reservoir projects. Electrical power
generated by waterfall will be en-
ployed in the construction, after which
tremendous electrical power will be
diverted to this valley when other
tracts of land will be reclaimed by
pumping on the desert. There is a
vast natural supply of lime and clay
which will afford a hydraulic manu-
facture on the ground of what cement
will be required in the construction.

GIVING THEMSELVES.

A marriage of a finer sort than
those of the smart set which are SO
deliberately chronicled in the papers
is to take place in June in New York
Robert Hunter n Caroline Stokes
will have something better to bank
on than money, and other things that
can't go over the river at last. Miss
Stokes is daughter of Anson Phelps
Stokes, sister of Rev. Arson Phelps
Stokes, Jr., secretary of the Yale
corporation and curate at Trinity
church, New Haven, and sister also of
J.. G. Phelps Stokes, who has been
living 1t the university settlement in
Eldridge street, Manhattan, wehre his

an Indiana university graduate, for
many years connected with Hull house
at Chicago, helping Miss Jane Adams,
He has been prominent and effective
in reforming the conditions of child
labor. in the work of university set
Element. in checking the fake INSTALL
ment business, and in the investiga-
ton of tuberculosis in the tenements.
Robert Hunter and his bride will con-
tinue to work together, and will make
their home in RivingtoE street, in the
mi ist of their labors. There is much
money in the Stokes family, but it
must be said Of them that they are not
only using money for good ends, but
they are giving their personal lives
as well. AS the Christ said to Sir

SENSATIONAL GOLD FIND.

A special from Phoenix, Ariz., says:
An expert who reached Phoenix to-
day confiremed the report of a ensa-
tional gold find in the mountains near
Hot Springs. 1t is learned upon re
liable authority hat w. r. McKeen,
well known Indiana %financier and rail-
road man: Garrett T. Ryan of Penn
s%ylvania and Indiana. and C. H. Akers,
an Arizona mining man, who have ac-
CURED title to property, are planning
an investment of $500, 900 in making
surface improvements to enable oper-
ations on a most elaborate scale. Wa
ter will be piped from the Hassayampa
river. Prospecting thus far has shown
a mammoth quarry of partially decom-
posed rock extending along the noun
tain side for a distance Of approx
mately one mile. showing an average
breadth of fully 800 feet. The rock
averages s5 to the ton and it is esti-
mated that it can be Quarried and
crushed and cyanided at a cost of 81
to the ton. Tunneling in the side of
the mountain at various points leads
to the conclusion that there are mill
ions III tons of this ore in the deposit
or ledge.
