 RAIN AT CAVE CREEK-Informa- tion from Cave Creek is that the rain of Wednesday afternoon, July 4th, was very copiOus in those parts Though the ground was thoroughly dry and as absorbent as sponge, all the gulches running into Cave Creek were as full as they ever had been. In an hours time, fully one and a half inches of water must have fallen. This revives the desert ranges so that no sort Of loss can be anticipated for this year even if no more rain falls. But the rains promise to be as frequent as in the last two preceding years.

HE KNEW HUMAN NATURE.

In a little village there once lived a boy who was supposed to be dull witted. The men of the village used to find great amusement in offering him the choice between threepenny bit and a penny. of which he invariably chose the penny. A stranger one day saw him choose the penny rather than the threepenny bit. and asked him for the reason. ''Is is because the penny is larger?" the stranger asked.
 Nav" was the response, mot cause it is the biggest. But if I took the threepenny bit they'd soon stop offer ing it"-Tatler

BILLIARDS BY TELEGRAPH.

Chess by cable is a familiar game. but Q teiegraphic billiard match played by men 300 miles apart is a novelty The table was marked in squares, like a checlIerboard, small enough to place the balls accurately. At the end of each play the exact position of the three balls would be teIegraphed the other, and the balls on the second table placed in precisely the same position as were left on the first. It required four days to play off the game. as no special wire was used. Had arrange ments been made for direct communi- cation the game could have been con cluded in little more than the usual time.

A MEETING BEGINS
TENNESSEE EVANGELISTs BEGIN
 INTERESTING REVIVAL.
At Morning Service A. l.. Carter Spoke and E. F. Hendricks Preached at
 Night-WiI Use a Tent.

 revival service that bids fair to be of great interest began yesterday morning at the Cumberland Presbyte- rian Church, corner Catoma and Church streets, Rev. Walter M. Craw- ford. pastor.
 Rev. E. E. Hendricks. evangelist and A. L. Carter. singing evangelist
 both Of Nashville, Tenn, will conduct the services.
 At the il o'clock service yesterday morning MT. Carter conducted a ser vice of song, and afterwards preach ed an interesting and impressive ser mon on The Power of Christ to Heal Through Faith" from Matthew xvii: 14-21.
 MT. Carter said that the extreme need of the Levatic son led the father
 to carry his son to Christ. But first he brought the son to the Disciples
 and they could not cure him. This was, said the evangelist, because of
 their littleness of faith. The case was
 an extraordinarily hard one and 1t required extraordinary faith. He said that there are hard. yea, the hardest,
 men in Montgomery but extraordin-
 ary faith in God can save them The Disciples. until brough1 face 10 face with the case. did not realize that they could not cure the son. He mentioned three prayers that are | often prayed. l. A cold. formal pray
 CT g. An expulsive prayer. 3. A solid. determined prayer.
 There are. he added, too many cold formal prayers in the church. No one | was ever saved through such a pray CT. Then the expulsive prayer could
 be prayed only when persons heart
 was simply breaking with burden or l bornei down by grief. Most any one ] couldi pray in such condition of mind
 pnf fha haEt ia fha prayer that holds on until the blessing comes. Like Jacob, Daniel, John Knox and others who could not let go the
 Lord until the blessing came. At the close of MT. Carter's talk. l Evangelist Hendricks arose and said: | We are here for great meeting un- | der God We implore your prayers, your work and your entire being as | Christians to help us in this work, to up-hold Christ and get men saved and | to thwart the will of Satan" Jnterspersed throughout the service | in Illustration of thoughts and incl dents in the sermon, MT. Carter sang hymns that made for the effectiveness of the sermon.
 These two evangelists form a strong combination and the pastor, Mir. Craw- ford Is hopeful of the best results to both the city and his church in having
 them to labor with him during the next two weeks.
 At the night service, MT Hendricks preached a sermon that was at once simple and powerful His subject was 'sTbe Christians Soundless Wealth. and he emphasized the thought that the Christians wealth included the wealth of the world and the glorles of Heaven.
 He is an eloquent speaker and sew eral times during the service in his earnest pleading for the salvation of the souls of his congregation he brought tears to the eyes of men and women present.
 The services will be held in the church a few days and then transferred

Amanlnr MarIne Proce.rlen.

Portland Oregonian.
 The fleets of the world which roam the seven seas occasionally bunch up in some prominent port or passageway like the Suez canal and make an im- posing showing. But in point of mag nitude almost any of these marine processions fall short of that intending commercial parade which is forever steaming down the great lakes and through the canals. The immensity of this trafic Is reflected in the ofii- "Soo" canal alone. During the thirty days of last month 1.079 vessels of 2.O06,640 tons net register and carry ing 2,51S,267 tons of freight passed through this great highway. Nearly ope-half of this traffic was iron ore, with coal to the extent of about 6b0,-- 900 tons second in prominence and grain and flour next on the list.

Gallup, N. NJ, March 3.-CitiZens of Gallup are jubilant over the statement of Chief Engineer Sroufe, of the Ari- zona and Colorado road, now being surveyed through Western New Mexi- co. that Gallup stands good chance to be a station on the new railroad. which is to tap the rich coal fields to the north.
 The chief engineer of the great Southern Pacific project was enter tained at the Gallup Harvey hotel to day by a committee of citizens, mem bers of the newly organized commer. cial club of Gallup. Every effort is being made to press the claims of Gallup on the engineer. As first sur. veyed the line crosses the Santa Fe eight miles from Gallup and it is be lieved that there is no valid objection to making the small necessary change in the plans.
 Engineer Sroufe said that coDstruc tion work on the new north and south system will begin in a very few days and in view of the hot fight on with other railroad interests, particularly the Goulds, it is the determination Oi the Hartman interests to get the road done in record breaking time.

Morgan. who has been the guest of Dick Goodwin for the past few weeks. According to information received here from LossAngeles. young Norgan's father bought the son a ticket to come to Bisbee to be associat- ed with Goodwin, in order that the son would be out of the company of his friends in Los Angeles. where he has met his downfall. The information also states that the son made these charges against Goodwin to square himself with his parents. He confess ed, according to the information. that he had told his folks a false story about Goodwin telling him he was in the real estate business. All the charges which the boy made seem to have been made with view of squar- ing himself with his parents.
