NoN-pRoFEssIoNAL STRONG MEN

MOT all the world 5 strong mel have been
~ performers on the public stage In
deed instances might be multiplied in which
the feats of professionals have been equaled
or eXCelled
Charles LOuv1er, carpenter of Paris, found
it child's play to roll tin basin between his
fingers into a cylinder On one occasion he
carried off a soldier on guard who had gone to
sleep in the sentry box, and deposited both
the box and the soldier on low churchyarC
wall nearby.
Another man who sometimes found his great
strength source of amusement was Danish
lockSmith, knut kuudSOn. While standing
in a window on the ground floor, he lifted with
one hand half bullock from the shoulder of
butcher who was toilng past with his load
Augustus the Strong, the Elector of Saxony
once entered blacksmith's shop TO have his
horse shod. To show his suite how strong he
was, he picked up several horseshoes and
broke one after the other. asking the black
smith as he did so if he had no better When
it came to paying the bill. the Elector threw
silver piece on the anvil
1t was a very thick coin The black
smith took it up and broke it in half, saving
Pardon me- but l have given you a good
horseshoe, and | expect good coin in return"
Another piece was offered him. He broke
that, and five or six Others. Then the hurnili-
ated Elector handed him a louis dor saving:
The others were probably made of bad
metal but this gold piece Is good, hope"
An Italian. Luigi Bertini of Milan performed
similar feat. Besides horseshOes, he broke
nails a finger thick
The Duke of Grammont, the minister of
Napoleon Ill, frequently astoniShed the
women at court by bending a twenty-franc
piece in his hand.

'. N. C. 4. MEMBERSHIP
 IS GROWING RAPIDLY

With a membership already much greater than that boasted by any similar institution in a city of this size the officials of the local Y. NJ. C. A. have no hesitancy in express ing their belief in the roll being in creased to 1000 members, by Sep tember l. the time set for the fall opening The high mark for the year in membership was reached in April when S20 names were recorded on the books of the institution. Hereto Heretofore the annual summer slump has begun in March and April has been a discouraging month.
 The establishing of precedent in regard to the membership increase during April of this year has greatly encouraged the officials of the insti- tuition. The summer slump so far has been exceedingly slight in comparison to previous years and a steady in crease rather than a decrease is ex- pected from now until the opening of the fall season

 Arixona's Floats Are Fine
 It Is the definite intention of the Arizona lodges of the Elks to make the float from this territory the very finest in the whoit procession at the uslual celebration st Los Angeles next summer. From the preliminary designs it would be difficult to con ceive how any other organization will be able to get ahead Of the Ari- zona lodges.
 The general design of the float is meant to represent the industries of the territory. The design was drawn by Leighton c. Knipe. At each cor ner of the float is a huge elk In the center is a basket which will contain many tons of fruits frcm Arizona. The basket will bt bound with copper and the handle will be burnished with the same metal. The sides of the basket will be made of msns3al Vpecimens e'om the many diffeIent mines of Arizona. Many of these specimens were coliecSeds by Pat Rose of Globe They are now being sent to Les Angeles by Eliot Evans and l.. c. Knipe or committee which has this matter in charge. These specimens are among the most beautiful and most p'ctur, esque that could be obtained They are in general of blueish green tint very much like topaz. They will be inlaid in the sofe plaster of Paris sides of the basket. At the base will be placques representing the different industries of Arizona. such as ostriches. timber. sugar. the recianat,on service, e.c.

CONSTRUCTION WORK ON WATER SYSTEM STARTS. New Municipal improvement
 Will Be Begun Today
 Before Officials MAINS WILL BE LAID IN TOMBSTONE CANYON FIRST About Six Months Will Witness Completion of Needed Fire
 Protection

With just sufficient pomp to mark the event, work will begin at o'clock this morning on the $125.00O system of fire protection which the city will install. Several of the city officials, in addition to the mayor and the mem- bers of the council. will arise early today to be present when the first snovelful of dirt is thrown. Work vii begin in the upper part of Tomb stone canyon. No addresses, or any other ceremony resembling a program, will be a part of the starting of the work. Interest in an enterprise which means so much to the city has prompted the action of the ci;y of. ficials.
 A. NJ. Martin, superintendent for the city in the construction of the system, stated yesterday that the be ginning of the work this morning fol lowed the receipt by the city yester- day of the greater part of the nee essary tools. All of the mains to be laid in the canyon. as well as in Brewery Gulch, and throughout the business section of the city, will be twelve inches in diameter. This is in compliance with the specifications of the Pacific Coast board of under writers, which means that it will jus tify later demand for lower insur- ance rates. The overwhelming major ity by which the bond issue for the construction of an adequate fire sys- tenn was carried, following the half million dollar fire of last year is in itself sufficient proof of the desire of the citizens of Bisbee for adequate fire protection and lower insurance rates.
 A large force of men Is at work on the big reservoir up Tombstone Can yon. which is to form the principal source of water supply for fighting fires Several months will be requir- ed for the completion of the new sys- tenn. Only a few men will go to work this morning. under the fore manship os Henry O'DalIy. But with fin month from now. Superintendent Martin says. a force of about 200 men will be at work. This number will be increased later as the work de mands.
 An interesting feature of the lay ing of a water works system in Bisbee is the freak piping which will be nee essary. owing to the unusual location. Supt. Martin. who has engaged in simi- lar work for many years. deems it so that he has made arrange ment to have photographs taken from time to time. as the work progresses. These he will preserve as most inter esting souvenirs of his connection with the work.

I. M. C.A 4. ID INSTALL
 INDOOR RIFLE RANGE

An indoor rifle range, which will be one of the finest in the territory is to ea installed in the Y. NJ. c. A. in the Rear future. The board of di- rectors will take up the matter the early part of the week, and it is ex- pected that work on the range will begin before the end of the month. The range will be of standard equip ment and distance and an effort will be mace to affiliate with the Ma uional Riflemen.s association of Am erice so that all scores on the local range can be recorded iii competi- ton with scores made on all other standard ranges throughout the ciuntry
 The range will be isstalled in the bowling alley hall. it being the gen eral opinion that not enough interest woull center in the game of pins and balls during the summer months to kep all the alleys busy.

 Building on Clawson hill nas been exceedingly active since the fire and many new and attractive homes have come to replace the charred ruins and debris of a few months ago. The residences. like the business blocks. are mostly of brick and cement con struction and are thoroughly equip ped with modern conveniences. Architectural lines have been care fully followed and the houses erected on the popular residential nill are as quaint and artistic in design as they are solid in construction. Perhaps the hnest building on the hill is the re gently completed private hotel of Mrs. Frank Oliver. It is constructed of brick and cost in the neighbor- hood of $10,000. Rev. ]. E. Kanarr. T. Reynolds and c. G. Phillips. are among others wno have mad hand some structures erected on the hill.
 The new building of the Fair Store, and the Bisbee Improvement build ing. occupied by the Palace Livery stables. are the two largest business structures erected on upper Main street since the fire. Both are buiIi- ings of modern construction and ran with the best buildings in the city. J. E. Mosaer. J. s. Williams, J. P Verfurth and Bowen and Hubbard are all having buildings of either brick Or cement, erected on upper Main street.

 SHOW INCREASE.

According to Special Agent Carpen- in Bisbee yesterday. April was the biggest month for the amount of i'm ports from Mexico into the d.s- trict in its histiry. Mir. Car penter also expressed his belief that this month would even witness the imports exceeding those of April.
 The imports were for the most part vegetables. fruit and ore. The ore is from the copper and gold mines of the northern part of Sonora, while the fruit and vegetables were from the southern part of the Mexican state.

STRIKES AT STATES
THE JUSTICE SAYS
Brewer Says Income Tax
Will Weaken Them.

milwaukee, July 24-In his recent
address before the Association of
Agents of the Northwestern Mutual
Life Company, of this city, of which
he is trustee, Justice David 7
Brewer, of the United States su-
preme Court, said:
Under the hue and cry of TODAY
we must have an income tax which
means tax upon all income, and if
that power to tax all income is given
the government, we will See the States
taxed, not out of their existence, but
out of their vitality. The idea leads
up to the question of placing the
entire power in the control of the ma
ton, and the State is left out of the
matter.
The Justices speech was impromp-
tn, and touched on various topics Re
ferring to the public debt, Justice
Brewer said:
At the close Of the civil war we
began paying the debt of that war,
and we kept on paying the debt. Ow-
ing to the unwise attitude of the
political leaders and the President,
who spoke of me and my navy we
have piled up public debts for YES
sells which will rust before they are
used.

On Votes For Women

Then there is the question of fe-
male franchise. This is a question
that cannot be ignored, and We must
meet the subject. 1t is for the inter
est of the gentler sex that they should
vote, then it is for the interest of the
nation.
Il have one supreme hope, and that
is that | may, or at least that my
children may, live to behold that
period when this great republic will
stand forth as the leader of the ma
tions in the cause of universal peace.
| hope they at least will live to see
the time when the implements of war
fare are forgotten and put aside and
the troubles of all nations shall be
settled by arbitration"
With reference to his remaining a
member of the Supreme Court, JUS
tice Brewer said: There are four
men on the Supreme bench who could
retire. l told my wife | should re-
tire because the statute said | could
do so. I don't care what the statute
says, you can't do it, she said. That
seemed to settle my status"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inf1amed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed for
ever! nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
Caused by Catarrh' that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

BEER Fight MAY BRING
ABOUT LONG SESSION
Issue Will Be Holly Con-
tested Now.

Atlanta, Ga, July 24.-An extra
session of the state legislature now
seems certain. Before the introduc-
ton of the prohibition bill many
were of the opinion that an extra
session would be necessary to finish
with the five hundred bills introduced
but since the prohibition fight was
renewed Friday it now seems GER
tain.
II an extra session is called to fin
lsh the fight on the prohibition law
II VIII be, in many respects, the same
as the famous fight on the prohibition
law two years ago. There are moi
three weeks of the regular session
remaining.
In an Interview Dr. John E. White
pastor of the Atlanta Second Baptist
church, outlined his views on the
present prohibition fight being waged
in the House. He stated that he was
misrepresented in the paper and
wished to set himself right with the
prohibtionists as he was one of their
number.
Dr. White stated that he opposed the
amendments being offered to the pro-
hibition law simply because he did
not think it the most effective way
of getting at near-beer. He claimed
that Governor Brown would veto
any amendments to the present pro.
hibition law and for this reason there
was no use in passing any amend
ments.
Mr.. White is for remedying the
present tax act so as to take off
the tax on all imitation beers and
thereby make it against the law to
sell near-beer.
At present there is tax on near
beer which makes it legal to sell, it
after paying the tax, as held by the
court of appeals. Mr. White wishes
to take away this tax.
If the bill introduced by Senator
Womble passes the legislature the
tax rate will be raised from five to
six mills.
The money received from the one
mill advance will be used in the diff
ferent counties for public road i'm
proVements. The bill is a constitu
tional amendment and will require 2
| tWo-thirds vote. A companion bill
will be introduced later to show
how the fund shall be distributed from
the gain of the one mill.
The judiciary committee has rec-
commended the bill legalizl1g the prac-
tice of osteopathy. Y6e bill has an
unusually strong BACKING and there is
great chance that it will be enact
