Were IL not for the excellence ot the company Tn general and bobby Mathews and Herbert Ashley in par Iicuiar, il IS quite likely the merry IaIce, "AlphOus and Gaston," would not have met with so unusual sue cess. l. A good coIhpany of comedians can make a success of almost any play ot a farcical kind, because the actors inject into. their parts their per sonality with abandon and build them up to a farcical standpoint. With the material at hand that has been de veloped to the highest notch of pos sibility, as is illustrated in "Alphonse and GastOn" by reason of arust F. Opper's humorous series of pictures of that name, with a duologue full of brightness and keen wit. the actors have had an easy task before them. | There was little more for them to do than follew the precept of the author of the series, who has also had the advantage of the facile humorous pen of Frank Tannehill, himself no mean writer of farce, to prepare his work for the stage. Yet the come dians named. it IS said, have even gone beyond the degree of humor 1 Of the carIoonist, by absorbing his ideas and adding to them their own keen perception of characterization.

4 REMARKABLE SEASON

g With the coming of the first of May and an uncertainty whether the rainy season is over for the winter and spring season is something very un- usual in this territory. It has been raining at intervals of not longer than week ever since the middle of Janu- ary and the rainfall has exceeded any year since the weather clerk began to record the Arizona weather. It is claimed by some of the old timers that the year 1884 was equal to the present year for the quantity of rain. but few people were in the territory at that time and only very few scatter ing settlements marked the map of the territory. Then the damage was very little for the reason that few irrigsting canals had been dug and only the main line of the South srn Pacific railroad had to weather the storms.
 While as a whole the territory has been greatly benefited by the abun- uant rains of the present. year, still the damage has bsen great in all the agri- cultural valleys and to the railroads. principally to those lines which cross the Gila river. h the iila valley it is estimated that the loss to the farm CTS in washed away land, torn out dams and filled np canals will amount to S2OO, 900. The tiila Valley Globe & Northern railway and the Msrioopa f& Phoeni road were the heaviest los CTS on a count of washout of bridges and track. For two months hardly a regular train reached the capital city --oxer,ths NJ & p. and during that time
  the bridE5 of that road over tl @ 6ils river vas washed away four times end during the two months there was not g dozen trains to pass over the line from Phoenix to Maricops. The Globe road made better rec o:d in the number ci trains, but the damage will no doubt be as much when the expense account is totalled up.
 The flood havoc on that line, how ever, has rssultsd iu determination to guard against so much damage ant delay of trains in the future ant through the Gils valley some thirt. miles of track is to be carried farthe south and along the low mesas.
 The Clifton road lost it's bridg across the Frisco twice and for man days no trains run. Clifton was visit ed by destructive flood which carrie many homes a=d other valuable proI erty down the Frisco and stopped th reduction plants both there and s Morenci.
 The Fl Paso 6 Southwestern ws perhaps the most fortunate of any ( the railroads iu the territory and dn, jag the entire rainy season neve failed to get train over the road an the most serious damage was a roc slide at the mouth of the Crook tur nel. which necessits ted transfer ( passengers for three days.
 In northern Arizopa,the Santa F suffered severely at different timei while the main line of the Souther , Pacific was able to keep it's trair g'ing with the exception of few day at two different times.
 As result of the heavy and lon continued rains the territory has bee eft iD most excellent condition an he y..r promises to be one of unpsl anelsd r sptrity.

past month under the supervision of
Surgeon Banks. The number Of per
sons who left the city was not as
large as was anticipated, and yester-
day there were less than sixty at the
camp.
AS there seemed to be little neces-
sity of conducting the camp the Ma

are now in camp will remain there the
required seven Gays and then be given

Only seven went out yesterday to
the place. and these will be released

INTERNATIONAL VENTILAToRs
FAVORED BY GOVERNMENT

The International Ventilator aud
Deflector Co., of which Capt. J. Ed.
O'Brien, of this city, is prominent
stakeholder, has been favored by a
government contract as VIII be shown
by the following from the Norfolk
Dispatch:
"The International VentilatOr and
Defector Company, of Crawford
street, has just completed a govern.
ment contract for several OF its pat
ent yentilators, which have been de.
livered to the navy yard here. Tee
ventilators were built for the Depart
ment of Yards and Docks and will be
used on buildings in that department
They are seven feet two inches in
diameter, with ventilatOr holes forty
two inches in width. The satisfac-
ton which the output Of this plant in
the ventilator line is giving is rap
idly bringing the InternatiOnal's pat
ent into prominence, and the govern
ment contract just delivered is evi-
dence of the satisfaction which Uncle
Sam is deriving from placing his con-
tracts in Portsmouth"

former Attorney General under Presidents

passed by the Continental army under
Washington, its commander IN chief.
Valley Forge village is twenty miles
V the northward of Philadelphia and on
oes west side Of the Schuylkill.
The entrance to the broad expanse Of
lawn upon which the villa stands IS
guarded By large pillars and the road
winds gracefully towards the house
through forest Of elms that has no
rival IN this country, outside New Haven.
These trees Of great antiquity are SO ad-
mrably trimmed that sunlight sufficient
to keep the grass in healthy green finds
entrance through them.
The partly old but largely new villa
stands IN a slOping lawn. two hundred
yards from the gate. The prevailing
color IS yellow and the effect of its dark
maroon, shingled roof is highly pictur-
esque- The front shown IN the picture
Is conspicuous for its gabled windows
and stained glass. A broad veranda sur
rounds three sides Of the house.
Interioriy. the building is very spacious.
The drawing rooms are broad and lighted
on three sides and furnished in Colonial
style, the dining room Is directly in the
middle OF the house, extending from front
20 rear and therein q very large dinner
party can be comfortably seated. The
library is on the second floor, reached BY

4 JudiciOus Inquiry.

A well known travelling man who vic
its the drug trade says he has often
heard druggists inquire Of customers
who asked for a cough medicine,
whether ii was wanted for a child or
for an adult, and if for a child they
almost invariably recommended Cham
bcrlain's Cough Remedy. The reason
for this is that they know there is no
danger from ii and that it always
cures. There is not the least danger
in giving it. ana for coughs, colds and

Noise is easily misinterpreted as q
sign Of vigorous enterprise in all lines
OF human activity. There is a hustle
Of trade which no one would suppress.
The loudest shouter is not by any
means the most accomplished and eff

done without great clamor and uproar.

PORT
ON INDIAN
RIVER
Reef May Be Blown Up So As To
Give HarbOT at ST.
LUGis Inlet.

A matter Of some Importance Is the
agitation of citizens of the Indian
River section for Improvements TO be
made al ST. Lucie inlet in order tIat
a harbOr may be secured, and while
this subject so deeply appeals TO
residents Of that region, Il should al
so prove interesting 60 people on this
side of the State, says the Arcadia
News
Should such harbOr be made il
would offer inducement in the future
10 railway builders to run a line Of
road across the State, probably from
Tampa 10 the new port, with such
branches as may seem necessary to
the builders for profitable trade.
A railway traversing the proposed
route would quickly open a fertile
country, and would be the most direct
route for shipment Of phosphate, TIN
Der and naval stores.
The Cocoa News says:
This editor is informed that the
coral reef outside this inlet, which has
depth of six feet of water at low
tide is really the only obstacle in the
way of having deep water; for out
side this reef there is an abrupt fall
TO forty feet depth and If an opening
could be dynamited through this cor
al reef just opposite the inlet the out.
flowing current would soon scOur the
sand TO the depth of the reef bottom,
this doing away with the necessi n
for dredging.
1T seems pract icable to secure an
expert and sufficient dynamite to
blow an opening Of one hundred feet
width and twenty to thirty feet depth
in that coral reef that lies across tte|
present inlet. and make a permanent
deep entrance there.
Concentrated action among the In
dian River people and a strong pc
titiOn to Congressman Frank Clark
viii probably prove successful in Sc
curing the services OF the Govern.
ment engineers and including ths
important inlet in the appropriation"
