No r Rich Peopl. in New York

In spite of Thomas E, Watson, the
rich are certainly growing poorer and
the poor are growing richer. There are
row only 20 thrifty souls in all New
York who have managed to accumulate
$500, 900 or more in personal property.
Of these, only eight have 1000, 900
or upward. One of them is Mr.. Carne-
gle. who has managed to save $5,0O0,-
900 out of the $260,00O,O0O for which he
sold his steel properties, and who also
owns modest cottage on Fifth avenue,
so he is not obliged to pay rent. Mr.
Rockefeller is only half as rich as
Mr.. Carnegie, and is more frugal, too.
1t is an inspiring showing of middle
class comfort that is revealed by the
personal property list made public by
the tax board. All the tinsel is stripped
from New Yorks pretentions to plu-
tocracy. The real money is some

per Is used FOR the wrapper. A piece
of straw paper 8 by 80 inches will
make twenty-one crackers II and ne
half inches long and one-fourth of an
inch in diameter.
The powder is also of the cheapest
grade and is made in the locality where
used. 1t costs $50 to 175 cash per cat
ty. or Is to I cents gold per pound.
For the fuse Il paper Called leather
in Shanghai is used, which is imported
from Japan and is made from the inner
lining of the bamboo. In other places
a fine rice paper is used, generally stiff
ened slightly with buckwheat flour
paste, which, the Chinese say, adds to
its intiammability. A strip of this pa
per one-third of an inch wide by four
teen inches "a Chinese foot long is laid
on IL table and a very little powder put
down the middle of it with a hollow
bamboo stick. a quick twist of the
paper makes the fuse ready for use.
1t is not easy to persuade the Chinese
to exhibit their modes of manufacture
to Il foreigner, but Mr., Williams, Unit
ed States vice consul at Shanghai, thus
describes the work as he has seen it:
'"rhe straw paper is first rolled by
hand around an iron rod, which varies
in size according to the size of cracker
to be made. To complete the rolling Il
rude machine is used. This consists of
two uprights supporting an axis, from
which is suspended by two arms Il
heavy piece of wood slightly convex on
the lower side. There is Just room be-
tween this swinging block and the top
of the table to place the acker AS
each layer Of paper is put on by hand,
the cracker is placed on the table and
the suspended weight is drawn over the
roll, thus tightening it until no more
can be passed under the weight. For
the smallest whip crackers the work
man uses for compression instead of
this machine Il heavy piece Of wood
fitted with a handle like that of a car
penter's plane. In filling crackers 200
to 300 are tied together tightly in a
bunch. Red clay is spread over the end
of the bunch and forced into the end of
zach cracker with Il punch. While the
clay is being tamped in IA littlt water
is sprayed on it, which makes it pack
closer. The powder is poured in at the
other end of the cracker. With the aid
of an awl the edge of the paper is
turned in at the upper end of the crack
er. and the fuse is inserted through
this"
Workmen at this trade receive about
the average rate of wages paid here
for common labor. The trade is consid-
cred unhealthy and dangerous and
therefore not desirable.

ARE MADE

600 pounds of t~irecrackers of a

amount of noise producing material
the bulk ome to the United States.
A small quantity goes to England.
Other countries buy only infinitesiDlal
amounts.
The exports represent only Il small
fraction of the amount manufactured
and used i'll China. There are no large
manufactures. The crackers are made
i'll small houses and i'll the shops where
they are sold. In the latter places the
proprietor of the shop, his wife Tor
wives) and children do the work. No
record is kept of the number made and
sold, and no estimate is possible OF
their cost. The use of crackers is uni
versal in China and has been as far
back as history records. 1t is most
probable that in the beginning they
were used to brighten away evil spirits.

RemodeIing Schools.

A force of men are busy remodeling
and renovating the public school
buildings, preparatory to the opening
of school. New desks are being put
in, all broken lights being replaced
with new ones, the blackboards are
being put in first class condition, new
steps are being built where necessary,
and all needed repairs are being made.
Everything points to a prosperous
term of the school. The attendance
will be very large and will tax the
capacity of the school buildings. In
fact Palestine is sorely in need Of new
school buildings, and it will only be .
question of time until such buildings
will be erected.

School of Mines Crowd First Place.

The mining department of the University of Arizona, probably some people are not aware, ranks with some of the highest in the country. Columbia, Michigan, Colorado, Berk- ley and Stanford are the only schools in the country that rank ahead o1 Arizona, and in some respects the Tucson institution has advantages possessed by none of these, the pres ence at its very door, one might say, of so many mines-being situated in the very heart of one of the richest mining countries in the United States. There is greater demand for graduates from this department of the school than the supply. The mining course is hard one and the graduates are O. K. when they leave the school. There is a two year course in assaying that is also taken advantage of by many.

The quick relief which this liniment af- fords makes rest and sleep possible, and that alone is worth many times it's cost. Many who have used it hoping only for short relief from suffering have been happily surprised to find that after awhile the relief became permanent. Mrs. V. H. Leg gett, of Yum Yum, Tennessee, U. S.

 Ullman has been a leader in the enI forcement of an ordinance prohibit- ing women from dance halls and S'a- looms. His eagerness to enforce the ordinance has aroused the saloon eae ment to a high pitch of anger.
 Ullman stated that to have remafn ed longer in Jerome would have en- dangered his life. He claims that no less than dozen pc ople came to him in Jerome and warned him that an effort was to be made on his life by the tough element. Ullman has re- signed from the council and will go to Santa Monica, Cal, to reside.
