WELL DIGGING ON DESERT CON-
 TINlJES

The drilling of wells on the desert south by the force under Roy McCor- mick steadily continues. A well which is one of a group of three which are to be dug on the ranch of M. J. Galpin. has been completed to a depth of PTS feet. A flow of 90 miners inches was obtained for several hours. the water level in the well being lowered only a little over four feet. Work has all ready commenced on the second of -the three. and has been sunk to a depth of 167 feet.

MARKET REPORTS
 BY PRIVATE WIRE
NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, July ZI.-Room traders sold stocks during the early hours of the session and were helped in the aft ernoOn by reports of damaging floods in Texas. Moderate liquidation was noted on tho recession but still the selling was not of an aggressive char acter. Liquidation of steel was based on various reports to the effect that an increase in dividends was not likely at this time. although trade reports are very flattering. The selling move ment may be allowed to extend some what further as moderate distribution has been noted, but it does not appear to us as though declines will be sus- tained.

BOSTON COPPER.

Boston, July 21.-The Boston market opened rather strong this morning and sold off slightly during the day, owing to the weakness in the New York mar ket Fluctuations were slow and the rages narrow. The steel shares were offered freely in all markets. We still think that the better grade of copper stocks can be bought as we think in the near future the copper share of the market will broaden and sell higher.

Ventilatinx Street Cara.

II44duelpnla Record.
 The ventilation of the trolley cars may not be an easy thing to arrange to the universal satisfaction. but 1t is not an tn- soluble problem. and as the season Of cold weather and closed windows is near at hand it is a problem of pressing importance A committee of the West Philadelphia I'm. proyement League has had an interview, with President Kruger of the Rapid Transit Company. and asked among other things for better ventilation of the cars Mir Kruger replied that the company would investigata the matter and See what could be done fo instruct conductors in proper ventilation.
 A great deal can be done. But prellrni- nary to any ventilation Is to give a decent degree of warmth in the cars. If there is no heat the temperature Is good excuse at least. 1t Is common excuse--for keanInr everything closed up tight, But the weAther iB not severe all winter; there are pIentv 1r to 8 car without freezing anybody. and pen- pie have their wraps and overcOats on when they are in the cars in winter
 Two small ventllators. open about an Inch each. are not sufficient in car ss pecially when 1t Is crowded and when n good many of the passengers not too careful about their persons. In all miI,i weather and in really cold weather with A re3. sunable degree of heating, enough venti- lators may be open to give the pHsseneera reasonably pure air The air Is very rapil- next to open windows in winter But n thorough airing of the car at the end of the route and the general opening of venti- lators on the trip Is a piece of sanitation
 A good al has been done in the last few years. specially by persons who arc fighting tuberculosis, to inform the public of the importance of pure air, Warming the p-opcr use of the yentilators will avert much illness this winter.

AND STILL THE GERM.

Is this world to bs given over to germs, microbes and other and va rious forms of small cattle that seem to be ever lying in wait to destroy humanity Is nothing safe any more? Time was, as all the older ones among us remember. when such things as dis ease germs were unheard of, except to a few scientists who were beginning to take notice. and were paving the way for the time when germs would be universal and ubiquitous; and we might also call them iniquitons.
 And that time seems to be now on us in full force. for practically every thing is loaded. so to speak Take the sand pile. so dear to the young folks, as an example. All of us know how children delight in a pile of sand If they can't have access to a mud-hole from which to manufacture pies, they must have substitute. For be 1t re- membered that mud is dear to the hearts of all natural children. Re- person or clothing they can hardly find anything more to their liking than lot of soft mud in which to dabbIe and show what they can do in the way of moulding all sorts and kinds of imDossfhle tbinos
 But 1t sometimes happens that there is no mud for them, and then a pile of sand is the nearest satisfactory substitute. It may be pile in the street or in corner of the yard; or 1t may be only box of sand in an out t-of-the-way place on the premises: just so it is convenient and free to the little folks They can dabble in it, play with It and have all sorts of fun in their childish way.
 Who would even imagine that dan ger urked in the innocent sand? It might get into the eyes or throats, but that was all. Now. however as a contemporary remarks. whether or not earth is clean dirt without regard to it's looks, it turns out now that in spite of its looks the sandpile is like Y not to be clean and safe for child lsh play; especially the sandpile of the public playgrounds. which. the scien- tisIs in the realm of health have risen up to say. are terribly liable to in- lection through the little hands that have worked it's particles over and over and under all sorts of untoward conditions. The same dan ger is held to threaten the private garden sand box to a much less de- gree. since mothers are apt lo know more about tho health and cleanliaess

of the neighbor children. But there is no keeping possibly contaminated fingers out of the public sandpilcs; and that the sand win retain the of- fenstve germs. to work possible mis- chief to some other child, the germ specialists are saying"
 limit, or a little beyond7 If the sand , Is found to be the rendezvous and abiding place of all sorts of disease germs we may well ask what is to be done about 1t? Must the children abandon sand aud go back to playing in the mudf But the fond and care- full parent objects to having the little ones soil their hands and faces and mess their clothing by dabbiing in the mud. and If the sand Is loaded what is to be done? Why, the scientists tell us. the sand must be thoroughly dis infected and cleansed of all germs; | then the children can play in 1t and with 1t as much as they like and no danger will result.
 Thus it Is that science steps In to clear the way and make even the sand pile safe We are not yet in- 1 formed as to the methods and details to be adopted, but we suppose the next | thing will be for each town and city to employ Sand Inspector. whose duty it shall bo to post warnings on every pile of sand that has not been properly inspected and made safe. and to issue notices to all parents when the heap has been properly disinfect- ed so. that the little ones may ven- ture to play in 1t. Grea: Is science and the germ!

"A RELIGIOUS QUESTION,

, Preachers. speakers and church | amendment insist as an excuse for it's | advocacy in the churches, and as a reason why all church people should stand by 1t. that it is "a religious question" At the same time they dis tribute literature showing a number of prohibitions already in the State Constitution.
 They are arranged in consecutive numbers. and the very first Is this:
 'No. 1. The enactment of religion by law is prohibited. NO. 2. Any religious requirement as qualification for office is prohibit ed"
 If. as claimed and insisted upon, the matter covered by the proposed amendment is a religious one--and let us for argument sake say that it is-- it has no place in the Constitution for 1t is forbidden by 1t.
 
 And 1t is required of candidates for office by the amendment supporters that they shall be for the amendment So. if it is religious question the Constitution Is violated in the obliga- tion required of candidates by the | amenders.
 If it is a matter of religion, 1t is prohibited by the Constitution. Why. then. are the churches engaged in 1t?
 Out of their own mouths shall they be condemned"
 If the amendment is a matter of religion the churches violate the ex- isting Constitution in attempting to place 1t there.
 As an unconstitutional purpose then. the churches cannot rightly have anything to do with 1t, and the mem- bers are under no religious obligation
 
 to follow their pastors, unless they would also assail the Constitution.

The ChiIdiesa Ones.
Washington Herald.

NJ. Bertillon has made an interesting calculation of the proportion in which the higher classes are responsible for the depopulation of France. He has made out of list or 445 of the best known names in the country. and the number of children they have living. The whole 445 have 5T5 children, and if the rest of France initiated the ex- ample of these the French nation would be reduced by one-half in thirty years. NJ Rertillon then divided these people into categories. and finds that ninety four artists have 104 children. only eleven of them having more than two children. The literary group Is even more deplorabfe. and 133 men of let ters account for 127 children. only five having more than three. and sixty five being childless.
 Politicians to the number of III have 193 children, and the rest of the total Is made up of twenty-three notable business men with thirty-nine children; thirty-three officers and State officials with fifty-four and Afty-one individ- uaIs distinguished in other branches with ffty-six children. M. Bertillon admits, however. that the number of men taken is too small really to be considered an accurate basis for calcu- lation, and that the Reductions drawn may be exaggerated. He then goes on to another curious and sigficant table of the births according to the wealth of the inhabitants in the various quar- ters of Paris. He classifies in six cate gor!es, which give the following re- suits. For every 1000 married women between the ages of IS and 50 the number of births Is. among the very rich, 69; the rich. 94; the very-well-off. 99: the welI-to do, 12a; the poor. 129, ana inc very poor 140. There is, how ever n melancholy corollary to these figures; namely. that if the poor bear mor1 children, they also lose far more than the rich, and M. Rertillon suggests that more excuse might be made for the rich if they were reader to come to inc aid of the poor in bringing Up chill dren which they themselves do not con tribute toward the normal increase of population.

PROGRESSIVE RETAILER.
Magazine Shows the Value of Adver-
 Using.

MaSuAiue ShoWb the thlue Of Adver-
 Using.
 The value of advertising for retail merchants has perhaps never been more forcefully sh own than in the spe- cial articles in the october issue of the Progressive Retailer. just off the press.
 This hustling and up-to-date maga- zine. devoted to the interests of the re- tail dealers in mems and women's wearing apparel, has met with remark able success since its establishment in Atlanta, less than a year ago, and It's subscription list has grown until 1t cov- CTS the entire Southern field and Is rapidly becoming the recognized au- thority on trade and fashion affairs in the apparel field.
 Several articles in the October Pro- gressive Retailer are devoted to ad- yertising for merchants, one being de. voted to the preparation of newspaper copy. another to Q symp posium on the results obtained from advertising by representative dealers, large and small. throughout the Southern States. while several brief articles on various phases of advertising are given.
 The magazine is brimming over with interest to the trade, with an excel lent article on fashions. illustrated with photographs and written by one of New York's leading experts. It should be of value to any merchant who desires to keep In touch with the new ideas in his business.

THE SPANISH EXECUTION.

When Francisco Ferrer, the Spanish revoiutionist fell forward. dead, it was not the first time a dream of reyolu- ton had ended with a dead wall and a firing squad. It was the re-enact- ment of tragedy played out a hun dred times. in the records of history, but 1t brings us with a shock to the realization that the world changes and grows old but slowly. Men are still dying for their convictions.
 In America it is difficult to get the right perspective to view such a pol litical tragedy. We do not kill men for their political views. Yet men are prosecuted for those views and they are perseeuted in Alabama because of politics But at Ieast--for which we should be grateful-the firing squad and the dead wall are missing.
 Professor Ferrer was a man of learning. of wide experience and an author of wide reputation. He filled a place in Spain similar to that held by some college professor in the Unit ed States who had been an author of books widely praised and generally read. The whole of Europe was in- terested
 But he was an agitator and right ly or wrongly the Spanish govern ment claimed that the blood of many innocent people was upon his head :. He was charged with being an acces- sory of the despicaLie Morales, the assassin who dropped bomb on the wedding procession of the King of Spain and murdered many innocent people But a court trial failed to establish his connection with this bloody affair."
 That he carried the red torch of in- surrection could not be denied. He was at the head of school in Bar celona; he was the head of vigor- ous and dangerous political party. His gifts and his personal leadership equipped him for his dangerous lead ership. Before the government real ized 1t Barcelona was in instruction. The scenes of the French Revolution were re-enacted. Unsexed women, with the blood of murdered men on their garments ran screaming through the streets. Nuns were slain at the altar. Churches and convents, burn ing in the night, served as terrible stage lights for the bloodiest drama of the past decade.
 Then the soldiers came with the deadly machine gun. Napoleon con- quered the mob with artillery, but the modern machine gun Is more effec- tive. The mob never lived that could stand up before a machine gun that sputters a death twice at every sec ond. Barcelona's gutters ran with the blood of her people.
 It was quiet when the soldiers stop ped turning the crank of the machine gun. The court martial dangerously met and investigated. They put the responsibility for the uprising on the learned professor and author. Then came the firing squad and the dead wall.
 It was not the first time in history that man threw dice with Fate for a throne and lost.
