FISH JAGGED" By WINE FLOW
Quaker Dumped 100 Barrels of Wine
Into SciluylkiiI River.

Norristown, Pa, July 24.-Over 100
barrels of wine were emptied into the
Schuyikill here last Wednesday, and
already fish stories of the widest des-
cription are being told by anglers. Ac-
cording to Billy Collins and Dummy
Wilson, who have been tilrashing the
river for bass below here, even the
husky German carp have gone wrong
and are standing on their heads in the
mud
The cause of the costly flooding was
the sale of the real estate of the Florida
Wine company here to Ellwood Roberts,
devout Quaker. The wine company
had failed, and when he bought its prop
erty he found in the warehouse its treas
ures of rare vintage. True to his creed,
he declared that this liquor must at
once be poured out, and his order was
obeyed.
A connection was made with a sewer
near the warehouse and the wine from
over 100 barrels was dumped in. Through
the sewer it ran into Story creek, which
100 yards below the sewer outlet, flows
into the Schuylkill.

BIG ROCK BLOWN UP.
Explosion of As Tons of Dynamite
Removes Henderson's Point.

Portsmouth, N. H, July 24-An
electric spark discharged As tons of
dynamite under Henderson's point
ledge and q three acre rock that had
menaced navigation in the Piscataqua
river was destroyed. The setting off of
this amount of explosive, said to have
been the greatest ever handled at one
time in this country if not in the
world, was attended by little danger
and by no accident.
Governor McLane of New Hamp-
shire witnessed the explosion. On the
shore of the river and on islands in
the harbor about 10000 persons saw
it. The event was the climax of three
years work, which involved the ex-
penditure of nearly three-quarter mill
lion dollars. AS a result of it, the new
government dry dock at the navy
yard here is given an approach of suf-
ficient width and depth to permit the
safe passage of tho largest vessel
afloat.

BALF0UR STANDS PAT.
Declares Government Will, Not Heed
Last Weeks Defeat.

London, July 24.-The government has
no intention of resigning in consequence
of Thursdays adverse vote. This was
the gist of Premier Balfour's eagerly
anticipated statement in the house OF
commons today. Although it had been
generally recognized that such would be
the decision of the premier there was
feverish eagerness on all sides to hear
the exact terms of his statement. The
house was literally packed. Every gal
lery available to the peers and the pub
lie was crowded and there had not been
such an attendance of members during
the life of the present parliament.
Mr. Balfour, who was heartily cheer
ed by his supporters on rising, tried the
patience of his hearers somewhat by a
long disquisition on how former admin
istrations had ignored defeats similar to
that on Thursday. He declared that
such incidents had never been regarded
as ground for resignation or dissolution,
and announced that the government did
not propose either to resign or dissolve
parliament because of Thursdays oc-
cuITencP.

Professor Albert Dickins of the hor-
ticultural department of the Kansas
State Agricultural college, has estab-
lished q uniform system of judging fruit
at county fairs over the state. The plan
is as follows Quality 20 points. form.
Is points; color, Is points; size, 10
points; uniformity in size, 20 points;
freedom from imperfections, 20 points;
total for perfection, 100 points. Nearly
all points are considered from a COM
mercial standpoint. The diversified fruit
is not wanted by the markets. and over
grown specimen are likely to be cut by
the expert judge. Quality is hard
point to handle. especially with fruit
not yet ripe and in such cases is often
disregarded or estimated by the form
and general appearance OF specimens.
In competitions of storage fruits, how
ever it is of special Importance. Uni
formity of specimens is most import
ant matter. Fair sized fruits of even
form and color of the proper type make
good plates. They show to much bet
ter advantage than uneven specimens.
Freedom from blemishes should be in
sisted upon. a fruit injured by insect,
disease or accident is not marketable
and deserves a hard cut.

SNAKE BENEFITS MANKIND.
Original Arguments Advanced by a
Taxiderrnist From the Hub.

New York, July 24.-'Tt is great
mistake to say the snake is of no ben
eft to mankind" said ]. P. Siebert, a
Boston taxidermist, today at the Ash
land house. Snakes are a necessary
evil.
1--WE once went to great pains to xiii
off all the alligators in the lower Mis-
sissippi. The result was they dis
turbed the balance between the aIliga-
tors and muskrats, When the alliga-
tors were killed the muskrats multi
piled tremendously, and, being con-
scientiously opposed to river eInbank-
mentS, they undermined the malls, SO
that the river is frequently breaking
through and flooding the country. Ma
ture knew that alligators were needed
to keep. down the muskrats, but man
| thought he knew better. Now he sees
| his mistake.
ct is said that St Patrick cleared
all the snakes out of Ireland. If that
is so Ireland has certainly not been
benefited. Even Irishmen themselves
admit that their country today is the
most miserable on earth. ireland is
| now full of pigs and there isn't a single
snake. Now. I claim that no country
ever f1ourishes where snakes do not
bear normal proportion to the other
Iceland. and look at the miserable
state of the island. America Is full
of snakes, and see the prosperity we
are enjoying.
ST do not say that the snake brings
prosperity wherever it goes, but l do
say that when the original balance be-
tween snakes and the rest of the popu-
| try, that country is bound to be poor
| and miserable

instructed that, if any indictments
were voted by the grand jury, he, with
the assistance of Mr.. Pagin, with the
utmost care and diligence, should
draw in proper form the indictments
and that, if any indictments were re-
turned into court, they. should be
brought to trial at as early a day as
the business of the court would permit
and as was consistent with the due re-
gard for the rights of the accused.
Many Indictments Found.
81 have no doubt that these instruc-
items were carefully observed by Mr..
Morrison. On the LIST day of July last,
the grand jury returned an indictment
with ten counts against various IN
dividuals and corporations charging
various violations of the so-called anti
trust act; and another Indictment
one Of the packing houses for a con-
spiracy to obtain rebates from the
railroads. being common interstate
carriers, in the transportation of their
products.
1T is my hope and belief that these
indictments may be brought to trial
during the current year. In the mean
time, both the principles of law and a
sense of fair play require us all to hold
our judgments in suspe use.

Piece of Ground in Clay County Yields
Good Wheat Crop.

Clay Center, July 24.-John Mitchell
living near here. has just threshed what
proved to be record brea king crop
of wheat for this part of the country.
First reports were extravagant, causing
considerable excitement. Fifty bushels
and better were first reported which
sounded wild. In order to make sure
to cut down rumors and state facts-a
measure was taken. Eleven hundred
and twenty-three and one-third bushels
were taken from twenty-six and one
third acres of ground. BY actual tape
measure the field is eighty and one-I1alf
rods long by fifty-two and one-half rods
wide. The wheat was carefully tailed

A FINE NEW HOUSE
Cosy Cottage Home Recently Built by
 1. J. Johnson.

l. J. Johnson, Arizona director of the New York Life Insurance Company, has recently finished building the most novel and unique cottage in the city along modern lines and in many re- spects. what is considered the best. This is especially true concerning the nature of its construction for the house, which is situated on north First avenue adjoining the residence of Judge A. C. Baker, is practically fire proof It's furnishings might burn as might the floors and studding were they subjected 10 heat sufficiently intense to destroy protecting materials but any ordinary house fire if detected in reasonable time could be extinguished before great damage was done if it did not burn itself out and stop in the room of it's or sin.
 Mir. Johnson was married several months ago to a Bisbee lady and of course Las had in contemplation the building of house here for some time His business has kept him travelling a great deal and he has always had an eye open for the newest and best in the way of materials and architectural Ces SIS. A year and a half ago he rosed t4 periments then going on at Douglas by the Copper Queen Co.,, with a I!eNT cement of good quality, the man utdN tltre of which was begun near Douglas by the Douglas Cast Stone Co. and witch has since been demonstrated to be the best thing found yet for fire Iroof building. An agency of the Cast Stone Co. has since been established with Ihe valley Lumber Go. of this city, and it was that material that MT. Johnson used in the construction of hjS new house bv cOntrac ctOrs Golf & GatD;n. The cement costs five cents a yard more than ordinary lime plaster
 The walls are made of 2x4 studding, outside oI which are steel lath covered with tfe cement making an outer wall as solid as stone.

to tenants. Verify the tree planter reapeth his reward and there should be more of him. MT. Amirault's proper ties are all rented by good people, men established in the city who are here to stay the year round and who appreci- ate good neighbors and take care of the property.
 Since MT. Amirault began operations in the, Churchill addition there have been many fine residences built by oth- CTS also for it is not assumed that he IS the only builder. Notable among these residences are; the F. NJ. Mognett house across the street erected at a cost of S10,000, the new S7OOO E. A. Spaulding residence, the PuIman prop erty now owned by Rev. Geo. H. Brew CT, and the residences of c. II. DeAIund. Captain Cornell. Sims Ely, Dr. Bell. the Lount houses and a number toward the western end of the addition. all costing from s5,0OO up. Good comfort able and attractive residences of half their value are found all over the ad- dition and might be named by the score.
 All these things are flattering to MT. Amirault for the reason that they veri- fy his judgment. arrived at in the days when he was pioneering in the build ing business in that section. That he has been prosperous is a source of qualification to his friends and neigh bors, but it has been hard work and persistency more than anything else that has carried him through tight places. His good Yankee energy and shrcwdness have stood him in good stead His real estate holdings will ap- proximate $40.00O today where eight years ago there were only few vacant lots. He got the lots and immediately proceeded to make them income paying, just as some others are doing and many others ought to be and no doubt will be doing in the near future.
 MT. Amirault is by no means dono building in Phoenix now that he is in easy circumstances. He will continue to follow his chosen profession of con tracting builder and between contracts will find time to erect more houses for himself, thus supplying an outlet for his tireless energy and further proving his faith in Phoenix real estate.
