RECONSTRUCTING THE
 LOWER METROPOLIS
Fifteen Giant Skyscrapers, Costing $4O.- 100000 to Change Skyline--New York Watching Oldest Of International Races.

and pretty ones aai, like the bhth,o. saurus. vanished. Ther, arc always plenty of elderly chorus girls to be had, but New York Is no longer con tent to sit watching the stage antics of ancient ladies who ought to be at home tending their grand children. So the managers simply had to SCOUT the country to meet New York's demand The result has been ever so many grace. ful and pretty girls from the south aud west.
 Supreme Court Justice Mclean of New York few days ago earned the unenviablc record of handing out the greatest number of divorce decision, ever given at one time. There were over seventy decisions, and in forty five of the cases the Justice granted inter locutory dccrccs of divorce. 1t was ' very busy day for the clerks in Ali. mony castle. as the old county court house is called. According to the cen. sus reports New York hns had 10000 divorccs to it's discredit in the, past % years. IL would bc interesting to know to what extent the migratory life of families who live in flats and ho. tcls in the metropolis is responsible for this total.
 Scores of thousands of New Workers arc planning 10 take the short trip to Oyster bay by boat or train on Labor Day to witness the greatest naval ps. gcant ever held under the flag of the United States. when President Roose. welt reviews the Amcrican warships on Long Island Sound. 1t is said that the fleet gathered will be larger thsn the combined fleets of Togo and Ro- jcstvcnsky during the Russo. .Japanes- war. Its value will represent $isj.- 0Oo.000. The great fleet will comprise Ij vessels of war. In fact, never ir| the world has there been any naval review under ono flag to equal the pr, sent ono. save the gathering of British ships off the coast of England a fes years ago. Every owner of sailing or steam vessel in the metropolis. that can carry passengers. is planning to take his fri.oJs ar h;ra ont hi. .,.f, for the great review. The little lnmpy sailing skin will bob up and down alongside of the millionaire's stean yact. The present outlook is that the sound. in the neighborhood of 'hs
 nanocuvers vii be fairly clotted win sight seeing craft.

BETTER THAN GOOD LOOKS.

Miss Matilda Kuhn, of Portland, has, all unconsciously, enuneiated n great truth. She Is reported to have had as many proposals as there are blue bottles hanging on the wall, in the old song with the interminable chorus. When asked to explain the secret of her great popularity. she laughingly ad- mitted it was not because she was pretty, but, perhaps, because she was so good natured.
 Miss Matilda is right. Good nature in woman. if she be of wholesome de. pertinent, is far and away more at' tractive to the average man than mere pulchritudinous charms. He is so tense in his daily occupations that his whole nature graves relaxation, and it 'comes in the happy smiles of n Iov ing spouse. rather than in the good looks of a shrcw. She who bears q smile on her lipe. yet quickly com mands n tear in her eye, Is The woman for ninety-nine sensible men in every ! hundred. Good nature will long out last good looks. and when one is hound by matrimonial ties, for what should he a,lifelong partnership, a sweet tem per to mate is worth oodles more than a beauty.
 We desire to congratulate the lucky forty y.ninth man. who has won Mis-, Kuhn's consent. May the charms of her perennial smiles make his hom, ! paradise on earth.

.(r'ro,n Tuesdays Daily.)

.(From Tuesdays Daily.)
 For years those who have the best interests of Prescott and Yavapai coun' ty at heart have seen the need of a savings bank for Prescott. Not only that there might he an incentive to save, in that the dollars saved and de- positcd might be earning for the dcpo' sitors other dollars, that the children and young people might be taught ha. bits. of economy and thrift but that a goodly part of the thousands of dollars which annually find their way into the California savings banks might be kept here at home. One of the very real hardships that Arizona has had to contend with has been the draining of her resources in the manner just indi. cated. Few have any idea of the vas, amounts we are contributing to- ward the upbuilding of Southern Cali. fornia, and less realize what an impe- tus it will give our own community when this money can be- used to en. courage development and invite pros perity right here in yavapai county.
 To meet those needs and stop this drain the Yavapai County Savings bank has been organized. It win be an on tirely home institution. Not one dol lars worth of stock will be offered fol sale outside of Yavapai county. Every dollar of dividends4 will be disbursed right here in Yavapsi county. The in corporators arc among our best and most progressive citizens. As appear ing in the articles of incorporation filed today, they are; John Lawler, E H., Barmister, Henry Brinkmeyer, R F..

WILL TURN OUT A LOSING VEN
 TURF.

Phoenix. the capital of Arizona. a city of about l6,o00 people, is to have another daily newspaper. It is to ap, pear mornings, and be Democratic in politics. Either the people of tha, town are more generous in supporting newspapers than are those of mos, other places in the southwest. or there are some politicians who have more money than brains, and who like to put the former some place where it will rapidly disappear. There are now three daily papers in Arizona x capital This strikes one, for the number of inhabitants, as more than sufficient. Tn this respect should this new paper be started, the old adage, Ca fool and hi, money are soon parted" will com, true and without much doubt. -Santa Fe New Mexican,

NEW YORK. Aug. Fl Lower New York is being reconstructed again on lofticr scale than ever. and soon a new generation of skyscrapers will dwar th, older ones. In the limited area south of Fulton street, and principally in the financial district. no less than fir teen new skyscrapers are being erected at a total cost of $iO.000.000. The az gregate amount of rcntable ofhce space which they will provide is 2,5OO,' Oo0, ,ooo square feet. The buildings are from twenty to thirty stories m height. the average being twenty three stories. They will add to New Works downtown business population from I5.OOO to sO.000 persons. Among the new skyscrapers n variation of the accepted type makes it's appearance. This is the building with n tower. The Singer building. with its forty story tower, 59l feet high. will be an example of this, and the Metropolitan Life building will soon start its new nddi- ton on the site of Dr. Parkhurst x old church with tower almost as high. Most peculiar of the new skyscrapcrs is that which will contain the Hudson companies underground tunnel term inal. which will bc two blocks long. Over this terminal will he built twin office buildings to cost $lO,000,0 900. The tunnel railway. which will run un. der the Hudson to New Jersey. will have capacity of i9.20o passengers m hour each way. and the offices over the terminal will contain n day popula- ton equal to that of good sized town.
 Each modern skyscrapcr is indeed now q city in itself. It contains n barber. boo,black. hnberdashery store, manicure. restaurant. bathing cstab. lishment. gymnasium. flower, fruit and candy shops. apothecary, doctor and dentist. In fact. there is everything a city ought io have except sleeping quarters. Al night and on Sundays and holidays inc proprietors of these establishments vanish. On ordinary days they do n rushing business. Re. gently the Park Row building. one of the largest office structures, kept tabs on the number of persons using it's cle. vators on an ordinary business day. The number was found to be more than 60,0OO.

The qucercst race in the world k now
 going on in New York. Already it has occupied several months and is likely to consume as many more. The contest is going on under the bed of the East river. The participators arc the firm of English eng neers that is building the Pennsylvania. Long Island railroad tunnel under the East river, and the firm of American engineers constructing the tunnel to connect Long Island City with the subway in Man. haitian. The two enterprises started from points only half mile apart along the river front, and the big tubes are being pushed steadily from
 both sides of the river through mud and qnieksand and granite. When the Englishmen started the Long Isl. and City end of their tunnel they were astonished 10 find themselves over twenty feet below the ground surface, boring through soil composed of old boots and tin cans. The peculiar con. dition is explained by the fact that their operations were carried on in the old course of Newton creek, which. many years ago Was filled in and be. came public dumping ground. The English engineers had two months start over the Americans, but sue. e"ssion of bothersome quicksnuds has deterred them. and now it looks
