Perils Of Our Dwelling Houses.

The scholars in one Of the Fuchow
Chinese schools were recently desired
to write an essay in English on the
subject Of (Which Are the Healthier,
Chinese or Foreign Dwelling Houses"
One young man "spook" about the
matter with his ''friends," and they
said that the "Chine.0 building Is
much better than foreigners" This,
he adds, was the "senses Of their de-
BATE" -
'"The foreign building is too heigh
and coverless and always built on the
top of the hill. In the summer time It
receives the most heat from the sun.
The people who living in it is the same
as putting in the stove, but in winter
1t is fully filed by the sharp air
which cut the faces Of whom living IN
it. So that the foreigner is compelled
to put themselves on fire. The fire
would do our bodies harm. As we
were prepared our dinner; we put the
beef on the fire by and by the beef
dry in that case the of course man
would dry too."-London Telegraph.

state was unprecedentedly large. Be-
sides Governor Johnson and his staff
and Mayor James T. Haynes of Min
neapolis the visitors included several
hundred residents of the Twin Cities,
who made the long journey to be pres
ent at Minnesota's day of glory at the
fair.
The exercises were held in the
worlds fair auditorium. Judge Thom-
as Burke of this city presided and
Bishop e. J. O'Dea offered a prayer.
Addresses were delivered by Colonel
Alden J. Blethen and former United
States Senator John L. Wilson.
Governor Johnson's Address.
Governor Johnson was then intro
duced. He said in part:
"The time has come for the West
to throw off the shackles of the
East. l would preach no sectional
divisions and no sectional strifes, but
Minnesota and Washington and the
states between them, with these to
the south of us, should arise in their
might and claim for themselves that
fair share Of influence in the halls Of
congress and in the administration of
national affairs to which are entitled
by every law of common sense, as
we'll as of political economy.
1--WE, as an integral part of the
American people, should cast our in
f1uence and our votes not only to ad-
vance the material interests of our
own particular section, but we should
be broad enough and big enough to
labor for the common good of our
common country.
1--WE have in the states west of the
power, no matter under what name
the national administration at Wash
ington exists. In the. years that have
passed our population and our mate
rial wealth have not enjoyed that rep
resentation to which they are entitled,
and, furthermore, our leaders have
been content to follow in no small
measure the leadership of men who
represent relatively small constituent.
cies and smaller commonwealth"
The speaker declared that the call
Of the West, among other things, is
the call for emancipation from the
dominion of the trusts and political
machine. He denounced what he
called fifty years Of national folly in
the enactment of navigation laws and
high protective tariffs and declared
that the great army of Western yeo-
men demand no fostering hand of gov
eminent and ask only for that justice
and freedom to which they are en-
titled by natural right under the guar
anty OF our constitution and our flag

Afoat on Hot Air.

Members of the house of representa-
tives are fond Of poking fun at the
forid style of speech affected by a GER
tain congressman, who invariably con-
tributes much "hot air" to any debate
in which he may participate.
On one occasion the politician In
question ventured to air his views
touching a financial act under consid
Grafton, when he drew the following
ribald observation from an opponent:
"Our able and adventurous friend
has undertaken to present his views
upon this question. In this he re-
minds me Of a beautiful swan breast

A Mexican Tradition.

"Boys, what's the matter? Fever?
Die, then; die, then" That's the song
the doves sing down in old Mexico
when a native has pneumonia, and
almost invariably he lies down, refuses
to swallow the medicine prescribed by
thu physician, resigns himself to his
fate and in few weeks he dies. The
dove, however, sings the song in Span
ish. It Is tradition among the Mex
leans that once the fever accompany.
ing an attack of pneumonia seizes
them it is necessarily fatal, and be-
cause Of this oil medicine and all ply
sicians are refused and the Mexican
usually dies. The dove brings the
story Of death in its weird cooling, &C.
cordlng to the belief Of the natives.
and many who have been seized with
the fever who otherwise might have
recovered have succumbed owing to
their belief in the tradition. That ia
the reason, it is said, why pneumonia
is fatal to so many Mexicans.-NeW

TURBULENT SCENE IN
PORTUGUESE CORTES
Violence Follows Vote on Re-
|igious Suppression

Lisbon, Aug. 4-Free thinkers from
all political parties in Portugal, repre-.
sented by a liberal committee, pre-
scented to the cortes petition for the
suppression of the religious orders of
Portugal and for the abrogation Of the
existing laws against freedom of con-
science.
The committee was accompanied to
the house of parliament by an i'm
mense crowd and some wild scenes
ensued. Senior Camacho moved the
consideration of the subject and when
the motion was voted down the gal
leries broke out In protestations.
There was considerable violence on
the floor of the house. The deputies
engaged in struggle in which desks
and chairs we're overturned and twice
the chamber had to be cleared. The
tumult was continued in the streets,
but without serious results.

Mozart's Skull.

''If we were all constituted like Ham

visit the Mozart museum at Salzburg,
enjoy the sights it offers and leave
there without finding any fault. Un-
fortunately, however, we are not so
cold, and therefore the protest which
make. Among the Mozart souvenirs
which are pointed out to the visitor, in
the same line with the Gid piano, let
ters, manuscript music, portraits, etc.,
is the skull Of the great master. 1t
matters little whether the skull is
really that of the composer or one used
for show purposes. The fact remains
that in the Mozart town, in Salzburg
there seems to be no one who can
make the city fathers believe that the
exhibition demonstrates lack of rev
erence which shocks many people,"

Facts Are Stubborn Things"

The Tempe Bridge Committee pub lished yesterday a map showing quite a portion of the land that will be trib utary to Phoenix by the construction of bridge at the natural geographical location for it at Center Street.
 In this map the Tempe Committee attempt to cloud the facts of the bridge situation by a continued attack on the Bartlett Heard Land X Cattle Company. In the map published. in the cultivated lands shown, for reasons considerable land in this area now in cultivation, and they also attempt to show the vast majority of the land tributary to Phoenix south of the river has no water right.
 As a matter of fact the larger DOT tiOn of this land south of Phoenix will probably be brought into cultivation under the reservoir. over 1000 acres of this land which the Tempe Com mittee class as having no water right was shown in the recent Hurley Alb bolt suit to have been previously under cultivation, which cultivation had been discontinued during the years of drought. A large portion of these lands classed as uncultivated are now subscribed for government reservior rights through the Salt River Valley Water Users Association, and under

eration with the Salt River Valley Water Users association
 In the previous map published by the Tempe bridge committee large portion of Phoenix south of Washing ton street was shown to have been in- undated by the flood of 1891 We are not sure just what purpose the Tempe committee had in attacking the prop erty owners in this section of Phoenix, where hundreds of homes are now To- cated. It does not strike us that this attack was either warranted or neigh bOrly. We do feel. however. in jus tice to the hundreds of good citizens inhabiting this section, that the facts should be made known.
 The inundatiOn of south Phoenix in the flood of 1891 was caused, not by the overflow of the river bank south of Phoenix. but by a break in the bank of the river about four miles east of town, where substantial levees have since been constructed The channel is now much broader and deeper than in the flood of 1891, and the bulk of such a flood would now be stored or largely regulated by the reservoir, and the 1891 flood might now occur with put the slightest danger of the inunda- tion of the section attacked in the map issued by the Tempe committee.
 The people of this valley have never yet found either the Bartlett Heard
