SITES FOR FAIR GROUND
Committee Has Fifteen Options, Six
 of Them We'll Located.

The Territorial Fair Association g
 committee on site for fair grounds,
 held a meeting on Monday night at the
 office of R. H. Greene, to look over the
 options and study the descriptions gtv- en them of available grounds for hold ing a territorial fair There were in all about fifteen different tracts of land
 submitted. Of the number six were selected as the best sites. all things considered. and the others were reject ed mainly for the reason that they are too far out, in view of the fact that as good grounds can be secured closer in for but slight difference in price. The six propositions which were chosen for further consideration pertain to tracts that are within two miles of the center of the city except one and that is Joe Monihan's home ranch which is two miles and a half west but is within a half mile of the present end of the street ear track The other five tracts are as follows:
 A part of the Colonel Christy es- tate cornering at Five Points the north half of the Grand avenue addition tA the city of Phoenix being eighty acres owned by J. C. WassOn an eighty acre tract, ownedb by F. J. Bennitt on the Black Canyon road north of Phoenix, opposite the Slocum ranch; the c. c. Hurley ranch across the Brill road north of the end of the Brill street car line; and the Garside eighty. lying just east of the Hurley tract.
 As mentioned above tha last five named are all within the two mile cir Cle. The Christy and Wasson tracts are about equally distant the nearest present street railway point being Five Points. The Bennitt tract is probably within half a mile of the Indian school car line. Those nearest to the present car line are the Hurley and Garside tracts to reach which there would be necessary but little railway building. There seems to but small choice among several of them in this respect and it is likely that the price and quality of land will be the redeeming factors with the committee.
 The committee will go together this afternoon and take a drive to the re- spective properties for a careful inspec- ton of their location, quality of soil etc.

 RECIPE FOR THE HOUSEWIFE For comfort and saving of work-First corner hubby and persuade him to buy you a summer stove. Tell him to come with you to Davidson's Cash Store and help you to decide whether you will buy an Insurance GaSollne stove or a Standard Wickless Blue Flame oil stove. Hubby may say. My dear. I'm afraid one of those con founded stoves might blow you up and gasoline is expensive. Just tell him that the stoves at Davidson's are absolutely safe and cost about the same as the hot wood cook stove for fuel. A wom- an can usually get what she wants 1T she strikes the lord of the manor right.

During the famous Fenlan raids in
the seventies of the last century Colo
mel Albert Clarke of Boston went to
the Fenian camp near the Canadian
border. The camp Of the Canadian
troops was but q short distance away.
One day Clarke, wearing light col
ored stoveplpe hat, was strolling along
through the fields a mile or so from
camp. Suddenly the report Of a rifle
rang out, and his hat fell to the ground.
Clarke picked 1t up and jammed it
down more tightly over his head. An
other report sounded in the opposite d.
rection. and Clarke then realized that
his hat was the cause Of the firing. He
started to run and the bullets began to
fly thicker and faster. When, after a
hard run, he reached piece Of woods
that afforded shelter he looked ut his
new tile, and to his dismay 1t was a
total wreck There were all of twenty
bullet holes in 1t, but not one struck its
owner.

SHAM ARMOR.
Stosy of n Once Famous Vessel In
the Russian Navy.

Stosy of n Once Famous Vessel In
the Russian Navy.
Among the anecdotes told by Colonel
+. a. Wellesley in his book. with the
Russians In Peace and War" is one
concerning once famous vessel of the
Russian navy. When the ironclad
Peter the Great, from which so much
was expected, was in course of con-
struction the deputy acting minister
Of marine. on being suddenly asked by
the czar what progress the ship in
question was making, lost his head
and replied that she would be ready
for sea in three weeks. 1.-The emperor
expressed great satisfaction at the
news and said that he would shortly
inspect the vessel at Cronstadt. 1t so
happened, however. that, far from
being ready for sea, the ship was still
IN dock and that her armor plates,
had not even been delivered. In view
of the emperor's threatened visit all
useful work on board the ship was
stopped, and hundreds Of men were
set to work night and day ut the erec-
ton Of cabins, the covering of the ship
with sham armor, the erection Of
wooden turrets and the like.
"When the Duke of Edinburgh came
to Russia l told his royal highness this
story" continues Colonel Wellesley,
(which he was most reluctant to be-
lieve. told the duke, however, that
he would soon have an opportunity Of
Judging for himself at a naval review,
and predicted that. as he was Il naval
officer and therefore sure to detect
anything wrong, some excuse would be
made to prevent his going on board
that particular ship. The duke ex-
pressed to a Russian naval officer his
desire to visit that ship, but objec-
tions were raised to his doing so.
Then the emperor, noticing that
something was wrong. ordered a boat
to be lowered Immediately to take his
royal highness ON board After the re
view the duke told me that / was
wrong about the turrets being made
of wood, as he had placed his hand
on one of them, and 1t was made of
canvas and yielded to the pressure Of
his fingers"

d" OLD FOGY
DEMOCRATS" !"

L is almost Il year since last we
~ caused our eyes to rest upon the
all-powerful factor of the Democratic party o
Montour county, which is being ISSUED
weekly as newspaper and bears the
head of "Montour Democrat. Al
that time we cut asunder the ties OF
traternal exchanging by stating that
the subscription price to the Intelli.
gencer was Sl.00 and cutting it from
our exchange list.
Since that time, we have been in
formed, it has been continually ad-
vertising us in its way, and to oul
own good and its destruction.
No attention, whatsoever, was even
given to what it said, for its value and
power are like the snow fall in the
river.
A srieud, who accidentally chanced
to see it last week, tells us it conclud-
ed an article, on us, by stating that
the Intelligencer had for its subscrib-
ers COLD FOGY DEMOCRATS. "
This, friends, intelligent friends, is
an insult upon all the leading and
best Democrats of the county that
can never be erased The article was
surely its best production, and careful
thought and preparation were exer-
cised in presenting it.

to say, enjoys the distinction of the

THE RIGHT
TO WITHDRAW

m E fear our convention made a
serious mistake when it de-
parted from the rules and precedents
established.
1t is fact that the right to with
draw as candidate, at any time, has
been the custom WITHOUT ONE
EXCEPTION FOR ALL TIME,
and has been exercised at more than
half the conventions for the last
twenty-five years; in fact, ever since
the organization of the county, and
it is an established rule that no dele
g ties can vote any other way than for
the ONE FOR WHICH HE IS
INSTRUCTED until the one has
withdrawn his name or been dropped
under the rules 1t is also an estab-
lished fact that on anyone offering to
do so, the convention violates the
fixed RULE when it reco gnizes said
vote, or allowes it to be recorded.
Mahoning township instructed for
Miles and could not be recorded if
offered in any other way than above
stated namely, the one they were in
structed for must withdraw or be
dropped under the rules.
MIR. Miles certainly made this clear
to the convention before the act was
consumated, and the rules should
have been adhered to.
Custom, in the absence of rules. be-
comes the law everywhere.
1t Is source of regret that the pri-
maries and conventions are so ruled
a; to be the cause of so much diss ats.
faction. The popular vote of the peo-
pie would be far more b.t.er, but
Wien a party has its rules, those rules
should be strictly enforced.

A GREEDY CORMORANT.
He Devoured Two Pounds of Stone
as Part of n Meal

He Devoured Two Pounds of stones
as Part of Meal.
When I was keeper in the National
Geological park in Washington I OBJ
served n remarkable example Of the
well known greediness of the cormo-
rant
-Four little cormorants came to the
zoo and were placed in a cage in which
dogs had once been kept. Outside was
n pebbly yard in which the dogs had
exercised. The cormorants waddled
about this yard and seemed to be hav-
ing fine time until one morning no.
ticed that one of them was sitting on
the ground unable to rise. He did not
waddle up to get his meal Of whole
fish, each usually about half as long as
his own body, and as the others came
rushing toward me to get their share
I knew that he was Ill. l went into
the cage and lifted him up. What was
my amazement to hear something graf
ing and clanking inside of him! And
he seemed surprisingly heavy. at
once called the head keeper, who de-
cided to investigate by means of sur
gical operation.
He took out two pounds of stones,
one Of which was four inches long, two
and half inches wide and about half
an inch thick! The poor chap seemed
to feel relieved. In few days he be-
came convalescent, ate his food regu-
larly and seemed to be doing well.
Then that hooked bill reached under
the feathers and tore out some of the
surgeons stitches, which were un-
doubtedly Irritating, as the wound was
beginning to heal. AS result of this
Interference the wound opened, and,
as the weather was hot. the patient
died five days after the operation.-St.
Nicholas.
