The council also passed the so-called charter bill, applicable to the cities of Phoenix, Globe, Bishee and Douglas, after exten- Sive amendments, the most important of which was the elimination of the provisions giving the cities control of all public utilities. This feature of the measure was bitterly fought by tcle- phone, telegraph, lighting ami street ear companies. threatening the 3efeat of the bill. The bill was sent to the house, given second reading, and set for hearing tomorrow.

WANTS HIS FORTUNE.
Man Says He Was Talked Out of It
 by Fortune Teller

Chicago, Aug. 9.--Alleging that lie was talked out of fortune which he should inherited from his mother, by fortune teller, Andrew Lilak, yesterday brought suit in the circuit court asking for an accounting and a receiver for the state. He says the fortune teller has now married the fortune by becoming his step-mother.
 He charged that Marie Kara, the seeress had told gloomy things about him to his mother, Maria Stroner, as she lay dying with cancer.
 Among other unpleasant forecasts she is alleged to have informed Mrs Stroner, whom she knew to be pos- sessed of some fortune, that her son would never come to see her after she was dead, which so wrought up to die that she immediately decided to leave the S16,000 of which she the sensitive pride of the one abont was possessed, to her husband, ChaT- les Stroner.
 Soon thereafter she made the de- cision effected by death, and the fore- caster of events made it further cf- fective by marrying Stroner. To all of this Lisk enters objections. The property is now nominally held by John Kara, son of the soothsayer.

RUsEs OF AUTOGRAPH SHARKS.
Ingenious Methods Used to Elicit Let
 ters from Noted Men.

No one is better posted in ruses to which collectors resort in order to se- cure autographs for the purpose of disposing of them to the dealer, but writing to celebrities and selling their replies to the dealer in question is means of livelihood to no small number.
 No one perhaps has outwitted in cleverness the methods of General Cist, whose collection. sold after his death, brought one of the highest prices of any sale in the world. Cist was a skillful penman and a born letter writer. He wrote in such a way that he rarely failed to elicit lengthy and interesting replies. He would write to statesman saying that a party had applied to him for employment and given the statesman as reference. Was So-and-So ever in your employ as private secretary?" he would write. Cist was recluse hermit He was estranged from his family. His last days were passed in America in a room filtered with books and papers of rarest value. secured through the most ingenius ruses.
 The cleverest modern autograph collector, whose methods became known to dealers. was the late Ben- jamin Austin, resident of the Unit ed States. He organized a literary society in his imagination, to which he elected as honorary members all the distinguished men and women of Europe and America. When notified of their election they naturally re- piled, thanking him for the honor conferred. In this way he secured much excellent material. Doubtless he made the collection with view to It's subsequent monetary value. After his death his widow sold it.but values had decreased and 1t did not bring anything near the price that might reasonably have been expect ed.-London Tit-Bits.

HAYES AND CHURCH
Will Be Asked to Explain Why Old
 Timers Were Ignored.

The rumor published yesterday in the Democrat that Attorney Walter D. Makepeace was appointed deputy coroner was confirmed to-day by Coroner Eli Mix making the official announcement that the rumor was true.
 The appointment has aroused con- siderable indignation among the legal fraternity, and Representative A. P. Hayes and Attorney U. G. Church, chairman of the republican town committee, will have their hands full for the next few weeks ex- plaining to their brethren the why and the wherefore MT Makepeace came to be appointed. For these are the gentlemen who are credited with having influenced the coroner in favor of Mir Makepeace. Nobody has any fault to find with MT Makepeace. He is a very intelligent young man. young in the practice of his profes- sion, but 1t is argued that the ap- pointment was hardly fair, neverthe- less, in view of the period of his residence in town. As was stated
 
 yesterday in the Democrat, it was be- lieved that if Coroner Mix went out side of his own party to make a choice he would hit upon some prom inent or influential lawyer. It was supposed he would appoint Attorney W. H. Pierce if a republican was to be the choice. But seeing that all expectations were very wide of the mark. there is the very dickens to pay among the republican lawyers.
 The financial returns from the po- sition do not amount to very much. Coroner Mix announced that his recompense for local work last year amounted to about a few hundred dollars. But it is the distinction and prestige the position gives that made 1t worth the seeking.
 If Attorneys Hayes and Church take a vacation for few weeks it will be for the purpose of getting away from the racket they have raised.

 This printer boy is now better known as Henry L. Pittock, chief owner of the Oregonian. which helped to organize the Associated Press, and one of the big timber barons of the Pacific northwest. .ss.
 In addition to running his news paper, just fifty-one years ago to-day young Pittock got together $500 and bought block of ground. It was way out in the woods and covered with timber.

KEPT IT DARK
Navy Department Has Not Made Gunners Records Known,
 But May Hereafter
ENGLAND BREAKS ICE

Washington, Aug 9.-For years the navy department has not regarded it as good policy to acquaint foreign na- tions with the performance of the American naval gunners.
 But the publication recently of the fact that during target practice of the British channel fleet in the pres ence of King Edward, one gun made 19 hits in 21 shots, thereby earning q decoration from the king, has natur- ally touched the pride of the American naval officers, who have looked into the records of the American gun pointers during the annual target practice, just closed, and have found no req son to fear comaprison with the gunners of any other navy.
 As the speeded calibre of the Brit ish gun was not reported, an exact comparison is difficult, but from the number of shots fired it is assumed that the gun was not more than SIX inches in calibre.
 A gunner on the armored cruiser Maryland, of the Atlantic fleet made II shots and II hits in one minute with a six inch gun. A gun on the bat tleship Ohio was fired with perfect score at the rate of 10.S1 per minute. A six inch gun on the battleship Maine has record of perfect score at the rate of 10.a1 per minute, and the battleship Missouri's best rec ord was 1O3O shots per minute, each lodged in target.
 But in comparison with smaller guns, these six inch records become insignificant. A three pounder on the battleship Virginia made 20 shots and 20 hits in 75 seconds, and another gun made 10 shots and 10 hits in twenty two and a half seconds, remarkable average of 26.67 shots and hits per minute.

Pierpont Morgan In describing the wonders he saw, the delegate said:
 We traversed series of beautiful rooms in which articles of fabulous worth were strewn about broadcast.
 T saw in the course of a brief half hour visit in this one house marvels of art from every corner of the world which must have represented total value of close upon $10,000,000. A tiny miniature lying in an open case, with the jewels of its frame spark ling in the sunlight, would realize not less than $200,0O0.
 Pictures by the most famous painters of all time cover the walls, each being illuminated by an ingen- ious artistic arrangement of conceal ed lights.
 "The owner of this vast wealth of art treasures was absent, but learn ed that he had been obliged to knock two houses into one to accommodate his ever-increasing collection.
 ''I heard incidentally that MT Mor- gan has thirty artists engaged in the production of hand painted volumes dealing with the miniatures of his marvellous collection. Each of these books will cost 2 500 and 1t is stat ed that they will be presented to the crowned heads of Europe.
