TERRITORIAL FAIR
First Annual Fair to be Held at Phoenix December 4th to 9th-ltems
 of Interest

The commissioners have employed Vernon l.. Clark as superintendent and he is devoting his time in making preparations for the fair: the first matter requiring attention is the plan ming and constructing of the necessary buildings and of these there will be the main exhibition building or agri- cultural hall; then will come the min. ing building in which will be placed the mineral exhibit recently returned from the St. Louis exposition and to which will be added the samples of ores and valuable stones now being asked for from the various mines and quarries of the, territory.
 The next important building will be the stable for the exhibition of horses and this is being built with box stalls and so constructed that the horses can be readily shown.
 Another building that will be of great interest will be the poultry building and as this is one of the leading industries, the management felt justified in making a separate building for this display in which there will be chickens of the varioGs breeds, live stock of all kinds, tur- keys, ducks, geese and pigeons.
 These four most Important buildings will be built of brick and Constructed in permanent style; there will be other buildings of frame for the exhibition of cattle, sheep and hogs. 'r
 The premium lists are being pre- pared for the several departments and will include minerals, live stock of all kinds; dairy products, grains, fruits, vegetables and special list for womeh's hand work.
 One of the most attractive features of the fair will be the women's depart. ment and the display will be in the main exhibition building. The de. partment will be divided into three divisions, viz, domestic science. painting and pottery and needle work.
 There will be drilling contests on mining day and the winners will in addition to the. prizes that will be offered, be entitled to the Arizona faiI drilling championship; the contests will be both single and double.
 Work is progressing rapidly on the mile and also on, the half mile track and when they are Hpished the associ. ation will have the best track in the territory; ths'trajning stables are well under way and the contract hase beer let for building the grand stand; this grand stand will have a seating capacity of 20O0 people and is being built in the latest and most approved style.

pavements are bands of ruffians, colored
bodies, and bowling up and down the
women and men, shouting, swearing
and fighting through the night. But
for the police half the slums would be-
come "Hells Kitchen" in week were
these hordes once allowed to get be-
yond control.
So one can imagine the courage it re-
quires to pitch tent in front of "Hells
Kitchen with 10000 population in q
block, with view of trying to convert
it into respectability and decency by
teaching the children to sing songs in
stead of disappearing along the pave
ments in imitation of the mobs who
think they own that part of the town.
A Herald photographer was on hand
to make picture of the scene when the
children's meeting opened. 1t began at
o'clock in the evening. The police
were vigilant and kept good order, and
in few minutes the seats were filled
and the children were singing, some of
them with voices that touched many a
heart.

the evangelistic movement, and the

Miss Florence Thompson, just home
from her vacation, resumed charge of
the children, who seemed to look on
her as a sister and mother combined,
and she had them we'll in hand.
A clergyman explained the work to
visitors, telling them that the children
who sang so sweetly had come from
the streets, many apparently homeless
and without proper food or clothing.
They had been in the habit of singing
wicked street songs which they did not
understand. Now they were so much
interested in the new songs that they
sang them to one another when at play,
and their companions of the streets
learned and sang them too. He thought
it change to be thankful for.
While the children were singing
women from the neighborhood fiocked
in. followed by workingmen. and it was
curious scene around the tent.
Mothers sat with babes at their breasts
listening to the music. Behind them
were crowds of workingmen smoking
their pipes. Some had bundles. others

HE discovery of some bat caves
near Lava station, New Mexico.
I a few years ago, has resulted in a
fortune for the discoverer. The caves
extend for two miles north and south,
with branches in every direction. They
are formed by lava and rock settling in
the crater of an extinct volcano. These
caves have for years been the home of
millions of bats. and the accumulation
of guauo at the time of their discovery
amounted to eight hundred tons. This
was dug out, sacked and shipped to
California, where It brought a good
price as fertilizer. Beneath the guano
was rich deposit of phosphate analyz-
ing twenty per cent. phosphoric acid,
twenty-one per cent. potash, and three
per cent ammonia. The first years
shipments were something like thirty
owner about $15O,OOO.
The phosphate OF lime has been
formed entirely of the bones of bats.
Since the discovery OF this lower de-
rosit the caves are burned out when
the guano accumulates, the heat hav-
ing tendency to improve the value OF
the phosphate, of which five hundred
tons a month are now being shipped
The fight of the bats in the evening
is a wonderful sight Shortly after 5
o'clock the head of the column is seen
issuing from the opening Of the cave.

back and forth on nearby tracks.
Bands of boys marched, screeching
and yelling, up and down the street, but
the meeting went on just the same.
the hot steaming sidewalks, and you
could not travel rod without running
against child or mothers with babes
in their arms.
Colored people Swarmed about as
thick as blackberries il a pudding. In
fact it was difficult to tell who were the
real tenants of houses, blacks or whites.
Services were we'll under way and tn.
children were singing at the tops of
their voices when handsome young
lady, accompanied by two matrons, ar
rived and they were escorted to chairs
in the tent. The young lady seemed
deeply interested, her face shone with
sincere pleasure, and not once did she
take her eyes from the children who
sang to the music of organ and cornet.
The young lady was Helen Gould.
She shook hands with the superinten-
dent, his assistants and the clergymen.
and said that she took great interest in
the outdoor meetings. She congratu-
lated the young lady in charge of the
children and paid closest attention to
the various evolutions which the chill
dren performed in connection with the
singing.
At the close of the children's service
meeting was announced block away
at the top of the hill, on the corner of
Tenth avenue and Sixtieth street. The
congregation repaired thither, Miss
Gould and her friends accompanying.
An address was delivered there by the
Rev. DR.. James B. Ely, who told stories
and made the open air meeting lively
with wit and humor sprinkled through
his remarks.
Miss Gould had no seat, but stood
with her friends on the sidewalk with
the crowd surging around her. a
stranger would have little dreamed of
the millions and vast interests the
young woman represented. She looked
more like a modest country girl, spend
ing her college vacation in town, than
a noted woman of business and phil
anthropy. The reverend gentleman was
telling a story about life on southern
plantation, to which Miss Gould lis
tened very attentively, when a sudden
shower fell in torrents. Miss Gould wore
a lovely hat, with plume in it, but she

DIDN'T WANT AIRBRAKES
Commodore Vanderbilt Had No Faitf
in Westinghouse Invention

A good story of George Westing-
house, the Pittsburg inventor and or
ganizer, is that when he had completed
his air brake he submitted it to Com
modore Vanderbilt with the object of
installing it on the commodore's rail-
roads. He was only twenty-three. He
was admitted to the great railroad
managers Office and permitted to eX-
plain his mission while the commo-
dore opened his mail. Occasionally Mr..
Vanderbilt uttered grunt merely to
signify that he was listening to the
enthusiastic recital. When the inven-
tor paused, Vanderbilt was ready with
his decision.
Young man." he said, "do under
stand that you propose to stop train
of cars with wind?"
Westinghouse admitted that was the
fact.
"Well, young man. have no time
to bother with damn FOOLS" declared
the commodore.

An UngaILanf
Gran7n7arian

-OU know" said the bachelor
professor to q group Of male
friends, there is a rule by
which to distinguish the gender Of
certain class of German. Latin and
French words which many a writer
of text books Of these languages must
have observed. The rule. in fact, ap-
plies to all languages. The rule is so
| obvious that at first thought 1t seems
curious that it is not put into the
grammars, but at second glance one
sees the reason. The professors see
the violent disturbance which the weak
er sex would certainly raise. And, to
be frank, have never given 1t to my
classes for the same reason.
1.-The rule, as / have put 1t together,
goes something like this: All nouns
which have meaning of horror, fright,
terror, awfulness, desperation, in fact
all nouns whose meaning indicates
something undesirable are. with few ex-
ceptions, placed in the feminine gen.
DER Here are just few examples in
German: Die Hole, hell; die Schlacht,
meaning battle; die Langeweile. bore
dom; die Rache, revenge; die Furcht.
fear; die Armut, poverty. Here are
some Latin examples: Incursio, mean
| ing raid; conjuritio, conspiracy; turba,
mob caedes, murder; exsequiae. fun
eral. In French the rule is borne out:
'L'amertune, meaning bitterness; la
= kafI hof darOIyfo
defeat; Ia desolation, despair. And ex-
amples ad ininitum prove the rule.
"The rule is so true that the knowl-
edge Of it is of vast aid to any who
are studying a language. I think 1t Is
wrong that the professors are afraid TO
place it in their grammars, for the rule
comes in so handily. 1t has helped me
out many a time, especially in examin-
| ations, for I discovered it when boy
taking up languages.
Now I do not want you to think
was disappointed in love because Of the
way 1 speak about this matter. But.
curiously enough, in the myths of the
ancients they always speak of the most
frightful creatures and animals as Of
the feminine gender. Perhaps it was
because the men had the naming Of
them. There are the horrible monsters,
the Gorgons and the Graeae. Medusa
was so frightful that whoever looked
upon her was instantly turned to stone.
Hecate represented the darkness and
terror OF night. Circe turned people
into swine. The Sirens sang so beau-
tifully that seamen madly flung them
selves into the sea to their own de-
struction. All were females. And there
were many more.
"Of course there are some very good
and beautiful women in these myths.
Yet whenever the ancient wanted
really horrible monster his imagination
made it up out of terrible reptiles and
fierce animals and called it Of the fem
mime gender.

~HE churches are sending their best
workers into darkest New York
with songs, pictures and stories to
draw men, women and the 100000 chill
dren from the sums to their meetings
where preaching follows the prelimin-
ary children's exercises. To this end
tent has been erected on a vacant lot
in Sixty-first street and Eleventh ave-
nue., near the river. 1t is said to be the
very vortex of "Hell's Kitchen"-the
home of race riots, where shooting and
fighting are daily pastimes.
That is strong name for any part
of a city like New York. what is
'Hell's Kitchen?'" L asked an expert
one evening.
ut is where the dividing line between
the whites and blacks ends-where they
live promiscuously, huddled together
like wild animals in wilderness. But
that is not all. Among them are the
yilest and the most criminal of the
citys population. 1t is place where
no mans life is safe if he is known to
have money"
Any one who spends an evening IN
the district during these tropical nights
can see the condition of things at Il
glance A house to house count reveals
the appalling fact that 10000 is the
population of single block, opposite
where the services in the tent are held
A few years ago Iowa, one of the most
prosperous states in the Union, had not
a town with more than 10000 popula-
ton.
"Kitchen" Is Crowded
To saw that the streets swarm with
children and grown up humanity
family expresses the actual conditions
in "Helps Kitchen" 1t is something
that cannot adequately be described in
cold print. To think of reaching one in
a thousand through any agency,
whether police, clergyman or tent
full of sweet singers, seems absurd. 1t
would be like stopping the flow of the
Hudson with a string of rowboats
stretched across the stream.
There is no controversy as to the
necessity of doing away with the evils
of this overpupulation. with all the
crime and misery growing out of it.
The evangelical churches say they are
