CITY OF CONVENTIONS

Washington is making an effort to induce various organization to hold their conventions here and to make this their national headquarters. Some of
 the various national organizations have already established permanent head quarters in this city, and others arc considering the taking of that step. The recent convention of the Daughters of the American Revolution drew at tention to the fact that that body of patriotic women mad erected beautl- ful temple, or national headquarters, in Washington. It is a beautiful piece of architecture of white marble, with lofty pillared porticos. From time to time other buildings are projected for national headquarters, and the time IS coming when there will be a national convention of some sort in session in this city almost every day in the year

of, is not an easy task and it was com pleted with comparatively little difficult ty and friction. The experiences of the enumerators, not only in the tenement districts of the East side, with their polyglot foreign population, but even in the aristocratic precincts along Fifth avenue and Riverside drive, would fill several good sized volumes As rule the enumerators met with very little difficulty. Where there was trouble it usually arose from the fact that the enumerators had to deal with women who considered the inquisitiveness of the officials an impertinence and shut the door in their face. In some cases the enumerators were unnecessarily brusque or rude and fully deserved a rebuke. But those cases were comparatively rare and the work progressed smoothly.
 
 The disclosures concerning the career of the bogus Count 'Aulby de Gatigny, now on trial in Paris for swindling veal thy patrons of art by means of fraudu- 'lent masterpieces, are rather humil- iating for the scores of American mil lionaires who have been filling their homes and galleries with fake Rem brandts, Rubens, Velasquez Gainsbor- oughs, etc, paying enormous prices for cheap copies or worse. Artists and con noisseurs on the continent have long ago been aware of the fact that a clique of interruptions swindlers, principally To- cated in Paris, made large fortunes out of the utter ignorance, stupidity and vanity of rich Americans. In fact, near ly all Europe knew>of it, only the Amer jean victims remaining in blissful ignor- ance. It is a well authenticated fact that there are more alleged Rembrandts and Velasquez' in the possession of American collectors than were ever painted by the two masters. In view of the fact that practically every single canvas painted by these two artists IS known and accounted for, the gullibility of the American collectors is really as founding and can only be accounted for by their gross ignorance on matters of art. New York is the principal market for fake " "Masters ' in this country and some of these "fake specialists are doing lucrative business.

Now, however, it has been established by judicial decision that chauffeurs, as the high priests of the select guild, are sacred and must be treated with proper respect by the can allie.

NEW YORK, April 30.-All New York mourns the loss of Mark Twain, the great American humorist, who died peacefully the other day at his summer home in Connecticut. After long and active life the Nestor of American hu morists was called away, leaving va cancy that can never be filled. He won the admiration and love of his fellow men, not merely as a writer of humor- ous yarns and as brilliant after-din- ner speaker, but by his kindness, frank ness and other lovable characteristics He did not contribute millions to univer sities and churches, did not found hun dreds of libraries to perpetuate his name, but it is safe to say that his mem ory will live when the names of the men trying to buy fame with their ill- gotten millions. will long be forgotten.
 Quite recently movement has been started for the erection of suitable monument to the race of the American Indian, rapidly becoming extinct.

MEXICAN ATTEMPTS ID KILL OFFICER
COWARDLY EFFORT AT ASSiNA-
 TON REPORTED FROM JEROME -LYNcHING THREATS

JEROME, Ariz., Sept 3.-One of the most cowardly attempts at as- sassination that ever disgraced the criminal annals of northern Arizona occurred here Monday night when N. V. Chavez, a Mexican, shot and seri- ously wounded night officer Charles King The injured man now lies in the United Verde hospital with the bullet lodged immediately under his heart The attending surgeons say that he is doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances.
 The leaden missile entered his back to the right of the spinal col umn, which 1t missed by the frac- tion of an inch. It ranged along the ribs along the right side to the front, where it stopped immediately under the skin. It has not been re- moved.
 There is great indignation among the citizens. Soon after the news of the shooting spread large crowds gathered at the street corners and feeling is at night pitch. This was intensified further when 1t became known that a 15-year-old Mexican girl living in house in the vicinity of the attempted assassination was also struck by ere of the bullets fired by Chavez. The bullet entered the lower part of her abdomen, and she is suffering great pain. It is be- lieved there is little hope of her re- covery.
 Chavez Is now a prisoner in the branch county jail. He is protected by a strong guard. It is believed that wiser counsel will prevail and that no attempt will be made to bom him.

ARIZONA HIGHWAYS
 WILL BE PRACTICAL
SYSTEM SHOWN BY MAPS IS ONE or THE BEST IN THE SOUTHWEST

The system of territorial roads be- ing constructed under the direction of J. B. Girand. territorial engineer. is one of the growing Arizona institn- tions of which all Arizona people will soon be proud; indeed may now be proud of as far as the work has been done, and it Is being rapidly accomplished. Maps in the office of the engineer show just how much of the proposed roads have been sur veyed and how much has been con structed, as well as outlining the roads where immediate construction is proposed. It is only about year since work was actually begun and Is a lot to show for the time and money expended, while another years work will produce some fine high ways. Engineer Girand has just started a surveying party of four persons to survey the road south from Flagstaff toward Camp Verde. where the Verde river will be crossed by a reinforced concrete bridge 300 feet long. The road from Prescott will run due east in a general direc- ton to Camp Verde, then almost due north to Flagstaff, thence bearing a little to the westward, to the Grand Canyon. Plans far the Verde bridge have been completed and bids for construction are now being asked for. Numerous inquiries have been re- ceived at the engineers office and several sets of plans have been mailed to prospective bidders. In a general way the bridge will be very similar to the one now under con struction at Florence, over the Gila river.
 Good progress is being made in the construction of the road between Roosevelt and Globe, as well as on the road running south from Pres. colt toward Phoenix. Postmaster General Hitchcock on the occasion of his recent visit to Prescott, was driven over the completed portion oi the road south to the summit and paid the finest kind of a compliment to the territorial road idea as well as the fine manner in which the plans are being executed. lie predicted that the roads would be an import ant feature in the developing of ths
 country. making accessible many rich sections now cut oil from eas! communication.

WATER EXTENSION
 QUESTION IS UP
DOUGLAS COUNCIL FACES PLANS TO PUT. IN COMPLETE CITY SYSTEM
nouGLaS. Sent

DOUGLAS, Sept. 5.-(Speiacl-
 As forecasted in the International yesterday there may be report presented to the September meeting of the board of Aldermen from the water commission recommending work in extension of the city water system, since E. T. Archer has been in tn city for several days past working out plans, but this is not certain, since it is expected that Mir. Archer vii, not be in town on the night of the meeting.
 An article in the morning paper stated that the commission would report in favor of an immediate ex- penditure of $S5,000 for the remodel ing of the system. Such a report may be presented. but if it is done it is believed that an alternative recon mendation for a much smaller ex- penditure, not to exceed s30,000, will also be presented and that this would cover all the necessary work to en- large the mains, put in new plugs and hydrants for the fire department and generally equip the system in a manner that would make it satis- factory for some time to come In any event whatever report, if any, is presented on this subject by the water commission will undoubtedly be referred to a committee of the council for full investigation and con sideration.
 The mayor and a number of alder men were seen by an International representative this morning and spoke of the matter. Mayor Wright said: T do not know whether a re- port will be presented at this meet ing or whether we shall have to hold a special meeting. Mir. Archer wrote to me and I referred him to the water commission. Later he called on me and said he did not have his report prepared at that time. He gave me figures lower than 1885, 900 for a complete system and spoke of an expenditure of from s20,000 to $50, 900 for the putting of the plant in good shape for the present and I again told him that this was to be referred to the council by the water commission and would then go to a committee. I have not talked ito any of the aldermen since the matter has not come before us of lficially.'
 Several of the aldermen seen had talked with Mr. Archer. but to none had he given any definite re- port He had spoken to them or to some of them about completing Ithe system and also about necessary
 immediate work and had quoted fig.
 lures.
 It is generally agreed by the alder
 men seen that the report of the commission. if it recommends the i'm
 mediate spending of the larger part Iof the water bond fund shall be Isubjected to the closest consideration.
 The fund now on deposit brings in interest to help meet the payments of bond interest or to the water de pertinent fund Once spent tha; iceases. Several of the aldermen op lpose large expenditure and the com
 pletion of the plant at this time, bul favor the putting of 1t into condi ton that will meet all demands o , the present and the immediate fu ture and not putting in improvement,

DOUGLAS. Sept. 5.-(Speiacl-
 The board of directors of the Doug las Country club met last night, elected two new members, postponed the opening of the golf season until a week from tomorrow and took steps toward the bringing about of a more liberal exchange of club privileges between Douglas, Warren and Fl Paso.
 The new members elected to the Country Club last night are Spencer Kyle and Aloysius Coll.
 It was found after the announce ment was made that the first autumn golf feature would be held on Labor Day that the observance of that day in Douglas would not be so general as had been expected, that not all of the stores would close and that it would therefore be impos- sible for all who desired to enter to do so and the field would not be 50 large as the directors desired. It was therefore decided to postpone the opening until Sunday, September II, when the event will be played along the same lines and under the same rules and conditions as were planned for the Labor Day opening.
 In the past membership in the Douglas club has given the privilege of the use of grounds and club house at the Warren and E; Paso Coun- try club. the use of the golf links, tennis courts, etc The same has been true in Douglas when the mem bers of those clubs were visiting in this city. It is desired that there shall be a further exchange of cour- tesies and of privileges extended to the members of the three clubs so that visiting members may obtain meals and refreshments. have these charged to them and the bill ren. dered to the club, the member of which received the accommodation to be paid by that club and by il io Oc SohCSiSu run tuS ihchoSis n the present time a visitor has to have the privilege of the club ex- tended by a member and the ex. tender of privileges has to meet the bills of the guest he introduces. The plan proposed by Douglas will sim plify matters, and make it much pleasanter for visitors from the sis ter clubs and in general work to the satisfaction of all is the opinion of the directorate here. The matter will be taken up with the other clubs

given the most careful consideration when 1t is brought up to the coun- cil to appropriate the needed funds. It is probable that an expenditure of the full amount or nearly the full amount on hand in the water runu will meet with opposition in the council if it is proposed.
