One Of the Old Guard.


When the Empress Eugene arrived
the other night from the Hotel Cont
mental and stepped from the electric
coupe which had been sent to the sta
ton to meet her tall and soldierly
old man of some seventy years stood
with barred head and saluted in mill
tary fashion.
In the brilliant days Of the second
empire the old soldier formed part Of
the empress bodyguard, and it is said
that he conceived a strong platonic
love for his sovereign, which made
him the butt Of his comrades.
The empress frequently visits the
city over which she once reigned so
brilliantly, but even the newspapers
hardly notice her comings and goings
The old soldier, however, never fails
In his fidelity and stands in one Of the
corridors through which the empress
Is bound to pass, 50 that he may sa-
lutte his former sovereign as she passes
at the Hotel Continental. He invaria-
bly, brings magnificent bouquet Of
violets or roses, which are placed In
the empress drawing room.-Paris Let

MODES OF THE MOMENT.

Panne is as much in demand as vel
vet.
Plum colors shading to amethysts
are the leaders.
Trimming upon trimming will be
chara cteristic of the spring styles in
dress.
Lounging robes of matelasse in deli
cate hues are as handsome as they are
comfortable.
Corset covers fashioned entirely Of
lace insertion are worn with slips Of
fine linen or lawn.
Metallic flowers, made Of gold and sill
yer gauze, are worn for hair orna-
ments and evening gown accessories.
Valenciennes lace is used to trim the
new organizes, which are very sheer
in texture and exquisite in design. The
lace is dyed to match the dominant
color Of the floral pattern. Ribbon Of
a contrasting hue is combined with the
val for trimming.-Brooklyn Eagle.

ENGLAND'S GREAT FOG.

Sir oliver Lodges Successful Attack
Upon Part Of 1t.
There was one man In Birmingham
who was profoundly grateful for the
recent heavy fog In England. 1t was
Sir Oliver Lodge, to whom the vista
ton presented fresh opportunity to
renew the steady war which he COM
menced twenty years ago against the
fog tienu.
Standing in a secluded courtyard Of
Birmingham university. his deerstalker
cap and long brown overcoat beaded
with moisture, Sir Oliver was to be
seen absorbed IN the contemplation OF
mysterious strands Of barbed wire
which vanished 4 few feet above in im-
penetrable vapors.
From his reseurch laboratory came
the vicious crackle of powerful cleo
trio discharge, and great jagged sparks
vlbrated between the spherical termt-
nails Of the apparatus with which his
assistants We're preparing to launch the
tentative thunderbolts Of science
against the British climate.
Men pulled the terminals apart, and
as the discharge was transferred to the
outside wires there proceeded from the
hundreds Of Invisible barbs overhead
azzling noise, like the sound OF rain
drops on hot plate.
Then wonderful thing happened.
Through the Opaque fog bank the
outlines OF the tall university buildings
were gradually developed with the
slow certainty Of Photographic plate.
The fog became a cloud and the cloud
a mist, depositing itself in dank drops
about the walls, writing and squirm-
ing as though racked by the violence OF
the discharge.
Away up at the caves, eighty feet
high, there were visible the elaborate
insulators in which the barbed wires
terminated.
Then the current was shut off, the
| noise ceased, and the acrid white fog
crept back and enveloped the courtyard
once more.
When it was suggested that score
Of installations similar to this would
afford practical relief to the fog bound
city Sir Oliver said, "All that l can do
is to erect this model apparatus for the
benefit Of engineers who are interested
| In such project. "-London Mail.

The White Cliff. Of Dover.

The white chalk cliffs Of Dover, re-
nowned In poetry and history, are said
to be slipping slowly into the sea that
for so many thousands Of years has
dashed at their base. A portion Of the
cliffs fell some time ago, and recently
further portion at St. Margaret's bay,
Dover, has given indications that It is
also slipping seward. Cracks In the
land. have opened, and some portions Of
the cliffs have already fallen into the
sea. where they form at low water a
long causeway seaward. It has been
suggested that the blasting operations
at the admiralty harbor, Dover, may
have loosened the outer portions Of tho
cliffs.-London Letter.

Do you feel ''cold coming on?"
Then don't try to ward it Off, but vel

apart, but congratulations are due to all who participated for the harmon ious setting forth in the most reason able manner possible from their re- spective views, of the arguments they had to make.
 This situation was chiefly due to Judge c. F. A.insworth, who represent ed the Arizona Water Co.,, through the fact that he recognized the board as an engineers commission rather than as legal tribunal. They came to ap- praise certain property belonging to his clients: physical and tangible prop erty on which a monetary valuation might be placed, and such property alone. He therefore entered into no technical legal argument in support of rights that might or might not be up- held by the law, and of monetary val ue only as the law might be construed to that end or as the bias of the per- son interested might conceive. Hav- ing thus confined the question for de- bate to things tangible there was less debate necessary than had been fear ed would ensue.
 The meeting convened about ten CLOCK with EnS1neer WlSner preSlQ- ing and all interests represented. Judge Ainsworth presented a brief of but very few pages, to which were attached certain documents in support of statements made and to which were later added copies of the articles of incorporation of the old canals. The brief devoted one or more paragraphs to each item of the property of the water company listed for sale, the text showing the manner of arriving at the claimed value of the property under each head, and the details of most of which paragraphs it is unnecessary to reproduce at this time. In illustration it may be said that in arriving at the cost of the Arizona canal construc- tion, the different materials excavated and cost of each, were referred to. Tn closing the brief the following recapit- ulation sets forth the sum total of it's findings:
 Original construction of Arizona ca nal, s3S1 ,514.S6, from the cost of which to find the present value, should be deducted the cost of removing the silt in the ditch to restore it to its full capacity and which cost is estimated at $34, 312.60, leaving a canal valuation or -...........-. ............ .S34i ,2O2.2t

"In the reorganization of the Arizona Canal and Improvement companies these shares of stock in the Grand. Maricopa and Salt River Valley ca nals became the property of the Ari- zona Water company, who then held and apparently now hold: 50 3-4 shares of Grand Canal company stock; 25 24-100 shares of Maricopa Canal company stock; 25 1-2 shares of Salt River Valley Canal company stock.
 "The minority shares in the above canals are held by over 155 persons, a list of said minority shareholders be- ing attached hereto under the head of Exhibit A
 ''For a more complete record of the history of the above canals, the com- mission is especially referred to Bull letin No. 43 of the agricultural experi- mental stations, entitled Utilizing Our Water Supply written by Prof. A. J. McClatchie and attached hereto under the head of Exhibit B.
 "The present minority shareholders in the Maricopa, Grand and Salt River Valley canals, who are mostly land owners and water users under said canals, are earnestly in favor of pub lie control and distribution of water and favor the purchase by the United States government for the Salt River Valley Water Users association at the earliest possible moment of the canal properties controlled by the Arizona Water company or it's receiver, and pledge themselves to accept for their shares of stock in the Maricopa, Grand and Salt River Valley canals, what ever value the board of appraisement now in session may put upon such stock holdings
 Said minority shareholders agree to take such action as may be nec- essary to properly transfer their cor lporate interest in said canals to the United States government and will use their best efforts to secure the early ratification by the stockholders Of the Salt River Valley Water Users asso- citation who are affected thereby, of the proposed purchase of canals by the government.
 "We believe that in considering the purchase, the valuation of the canals should be made without reference to the valuable right to the use of water which we believe is attached to the land and should be appurtenant there to. We further believe that the car rying rights previously used by the land owners under these canals are a perpetual lien or easement upon such canals, and are in no way modified nor interfered with by the proposed trans fer to the government, and that their value should be considered in your appraisement.
 we believe that the foregoing prin- ciples are clearly set forth in the na- tional reclamation act, the articles of incorporation of the Salt River Valley Water Users association and the con- tract made between the secretary of the interior and said association.
 "The water rights under these ca nals are apparently of four classes:
 First. The right to carry water in the various canals, which has been used by the minority stockholders, who have never segregated their so-called water right from their shares of stock.
 Second. The so-called dividend wa ter right, three of which have been is- sued on each share of stock held by the Arizona Water company in the three old canals, this water right being

The hearing granted yesterday to the various affected interests, by the board of reclamation service engin-
 eers appointed to fix a valuation upon the property of the Arizona Water company, was almost surprisingly sat isfactory and harmonious. It was not expected that there would be rough house" or any disturbance of the peace, but from the vehemence, fre- quency and varied nature of street corner discussions during the last three months, there was reason to be- lieve that representatives of the diff ferent interests would be more widely divergent in regard to relevant and material matter for consideration and in regard to the powers and purposes of the engineering board. The prem ises and viewpoints of the speakers of the day were in such contrast that conclusions were necessarily widely
