GILLESPIE SEES AO
 REASON ID OPPOSE
Says Electric System Means Much to BiSbee'S Growth
 In Future.

interviewed about the proposed cleo tric franchise. James B. Gillespie said:
 .'I am heartily in favor of granting the franchise for the street railway. Our town is growing and spreading so fast that we need quicker and better methods of transportation. There is no public improvement the advent Or which would mean more to Bisbee and the entire district than a well equipp- ed and properly operated electric rail- way system. The benefits are so ou- vious that can think of no objection that can be reasonably raised against the present proposed franchise.
 ITO any one who has watched the growth and expansion of Bisbee dur ing tho past five years. has seen it's business interests expanding, has not ed the rapid extension of home build ing from the congested center of the town to far up Tombstone canyon. to Johnson Addition, to Lowell, Bakers vile. Warren and even Don Luis, it Is apparent that for convenience alone an electric street railway is HOW an absolute necessity.
 Tn addition to the matter of con venience. material advance in the value of real estate in all parts of the city, as a result of easy communi- cation and quick transit from one part of the district to another, will be recognized as soon as the first car is put in motion. There is no improve ment that needs today more impera- tive than the electric railway, and shall lend my assistance readily ta help secure the franchise.

Ccontinued from First Pageo


 Yised attempt WAS made to change conditions which have proven satis- factory during the entire existence of Bisbee as a mining camp. A deliber- ate attack was planned on the peace full conditions and prosperity of the district by a band Of socialists who sought to force their politicial doc trine down the threats of the working men of this district regardless of the agreeable and pleasant labor condi- tions existing. The result has been that approximately twelve hundred union men were forced to seek em- ployment elsewhere on the ridiculous charge that union men were being dis criminated against in this camp. Ger tainiy these union men, employed on April 9th, were not being discrimi- mated against and with no real griey- ance as its foundation the so-calIed 'stIikeT has fallen fiat Of its own weight Bfsbee and the Warren dis trict has successfully resisted the en- croachment of the socialist mischief makers and trouble-breeders. and while Bisbee has been hurt in the loss Of wages to the union men who were forced to obey the strike order. and business men and all concerned have suffered a brief season of busi. ness depression, Bisbee and her peo- pie. who believe in fair play, emerge from the recent unpleasantness on 9 firmer basis and a brighter future ahead than at any other time in its history.

about $50 O'Clock last evening when they
learned that the fire department had been
called to the stable OF T. W. Riley, at the
foot of 18th street. Mr.. Riiey's past ex-
periences with fire caused the fear that

other CONGREGATIONS there. but the prompt
work of the firemen prevented more than
$1,000 damage.
The blaze started in pile Of bedding in
the rear of the building attracting the
attention of persons in that vicinity be-
fore the structure was doomed. Sergt

happened to be near when the fire was
discovereI. and he led party of persons
employed about the wharves into the
building to rescue the two dozen horses in
danger of being burned to death Men,
bers OF No. ID engine company also joined
were soon out of the building.
While the rescue work was in prog
ress other flremen were pouring water on
the burning straw and fighting to keep
the flames from reaching other buildings.
None of the animals was injured and the
firemen were complmented for their sue
cessful efforts.
1t was impossible for the police or fire
men to determine the origin of the blaze.

FOR CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.
Annual Collection Taken in the
Churches Yesterday.

In the Catholic churches OF Washing
ton yesterday the annual collection in
the interest of the Catholic University
of America was taken. It is unofficially
stated that when the returns are made
they will be gratifying. A similar COL
lection was also taken in the Catholic
churches throughout the United States.
The annual collections for the Catholic
University are designed to create an en-
dowment fund of 100000 to aid in
carrying ON the university work. and
are to continue for ten years. They are
now in their fifth year. Each period Is
stated to show an Increase over its pred
ecessor, and 1t is the expectation of Car
dinal Gibbons and the archbishops of the
United States that at the end of ten
years the 100000 endowment will be
realized. Last year the returns from the
various dioceses throughout the country
been for the Waggaman failure. it is de-
clared the proceeds from the collections,
together with the moneys in hand and
the smaller endowments to which the
university has fallen heir, would have
placed the Catholic University executives
in a position to carry out at an earlier
date the pretentious plans of its founders.
Following the Waggaman affair special
appeals were made to the Catholic laity
of the country to contribute IS gener-
ously as possible to the collections. The
hierarchy Is said to be much pleased at
the response. Washington churches have,
it Is said been foremost in answering
this appeal.

afternoon before the mems meeting in the

The test is in the appetite for that pud-
ding the next time" His subject was

need for hunger of the body, mind and
soul.
THAT meal is best prepared and best
suits us which leaves US with healthy
appetite for the next meal at it's proper
time" he declared. 80 with all our de-
sires. When we satisfy desire, it ought
to leave US with another desire as keen
as the former one. And just as the we'll
prepared meal is good for the body, SO the
for the mind and the soul, and each should
leave one stronger and better"
He next told a story about a herd Of
cows which formed the Bovine Improve
ment Society, and the members deter

improve the pigs and give them ideas of
cleanliness. They tried association. but
every time cow stepped on a pig in the
pen. the pig squealed and showed his dis
pleasure at the association. Then the
cows tried thought concentration, but
horns did not grow on the pigs. And then
the cows gave the pigs up as hopeless.
