Of salt river and Tonto creek, the

This canyon is the only outlet of
the basin. IF one would emerge by
another route. il must be- that of

though this was once the famous

little city of Roosevelt is strangely
unlike the average new Town Of the
West. There are no saloons. no
gambling. and the bad man with

IT is a Government town. au5 the
rules laid down are simple and ef-
fectiye. Uncle Sam owns tbs ground
upon which the town II erected,
and the people are there merely by
sufferance. No man may occupy
town lot which faces the main
street unless he is engaged in a.
legitimate business, and his con-
tinuouS possession of the property
depends upon his own conduct. The
results are in marked contrast with
those which followed the location
of new towns on other projects
where the Government could not
exercise any supervisory control.
The laborers are contented. They
are depositing a large part Of their
earnings with the dis sbursiug officer

slaughterlng house near Wallington,
inspected by order of the state board

Remembers Napoleon.

Naples, July 17.-In Piedigrotta, one
of the poorer quarters of this city,
there lives a family of five generations
under one roof. The great great
grandmother, Carmela San German, is
10S years old. Her daughter Is 72, her
granddaughter As. her great grand
daughter 20 and there is a great-great
grandchild, a few months old. The
aged head of the family is believed to
be the oldest woman living in Italy.
She is quite strong and healthy and
still rather sensitive on the point of
her personal appearance. She ascribes
the good color of her complexion to
the moderate use of wine. which. she
says, is as good as fresh blood to old
people. Her memory is rapidly van
ishing. The only historical person
she remembers at all is Napoleon. The
old lady lives on small pension
granted her by the state since she
was left widow seventy years ago.

Rio Janeiro. July 17.--An insurrec-
tion of some pretensions has been in
progress in the province of Matte
Crosse for a considerable Time The
province is situated in the extreme
northwest of Brazil and is very remote
and inaccessible. Three months ago,
the governor Of the province, Senior
Paes, called for federal aid, but as it
was not possible to send troops for
ward promptly, the revolutionists
grew so strong as to compel the gov
ernor to abdicate and was killed by
the insurgents on July 5. Vice Gov
Osorio is reported to have been an ac-
complice in the assassination The
president of the Brazilian republic
sent a message to congress suggest
Ing that martial law be declared
throughout the province of Matto
Crosse, but congress refused to APP
prove on the ground that the vice

province and 1t is believed that mat

Central America, pronounce the army
of Salvador superior in equipment,

Salvador can muster 10000 armed

state in Central America. Though
Guatemala is seven times larger in
territory and has a population of g.
