New York.-Sir Edward Morris.
premier of Newfoundland, who is in
New York on his way to the corona
ton, is taking advantage of his brief
stay here today to discuss with a SYM
dictate of capitalists, the propose
construction of a railroad from Que
bee to a point on Cape Sir Charles
on the coast of Labrador.
The railway. according to the pre-
mier's plans, will connect at its Lab
rador terminal with a proposed new
line of steamboats, of the Lusitania
type, running between Sir Charles and
Liverpool, making possible Il three
days trip across the Atlantic.
Il see no reason in the world" de-
clared the premier, at his hotel here,
why such a route should not be sue
cessful and l believe the proposal will
meet with the favor of both the Que
bee n Newfoundland governments.
The route would be open all the year
round.
From Cape Sir Charles to Quebec
is about 1000 miles and with a line of
standard guage, this could be covered
at 60 miles an hour, which means
that passengers could be landed in
lower Canada and in the center Of the
United States "a hours earlier than by
the biggest liners to New York today.
The ocean passage would be 1000
miles shorter

that if you were in Walla Walla you

answer the purpose, but as long as
SO many transients visit this city
cloth signs will be a necessity.

to run your town, but was asked the

but / am after the man who just land

Should the city object to their own

Does any other city in the United

cloth signs to attract the man who

HE'S NOT AFRAID OF BEES.
Texas Man Allows Them To Swarm
Over Him.

san Antonio, TeX.-Charles Potch-
enek, employed by the Maverick apia-
ries near this city, appears to have
unusual control over bees. He ham
dies them with as much apparent
ease as one would in playing with
kittens or a harmless pet. He is
used to their ways and appears alb
solutely oblivions to the fact that hey
can sting.
While working with them he goes
bare-armed n bare-faced and PAYS
no attention to the insects as they
crawl over his exposed hands and
arms or pile up in great clumps on
his face.
Recently he had a picture taken
holding a small limb in his teeth on
which a swarm had settled The ices
formed a kind of long beard hanging
below his waist and his entire face
was covered with those hat crawled
from the limb. Old beekeepers say
that his feats in handling bees are
the most remarkable in the world.
He claims that he has not been stung
in two years.

LOVES HIS NATIVE LAND

Vera Cruz, Mexico. May 20. =
Porfirio Diaz deposed ruler of
Mexico, does not want to leave
his native land and is doing so
only because the women of his
immediate family became fright
ened by the changed situation in
the republic. 1t would take lit
tie encouragement to lead the
aged general to tear up his steam
er tickets and remain on Mexican
soil.
The former presidents earnest
desire is to retire to a ranch in
Oaxaca. his native state, and
there end his days. His dislike
to leaving Mexico has grown
more pronounced since he came
here in sight of the ocean. 1t
will be his first foreign trip.

WITHIN ONE HOUR

Wednesday afternoon was
quite a busy day in Prescott for
the animal world. There were
four runaways in less than a hour.
As the hands were going to work
on the streets one of the horses
became frightened and "hit" the
grit at about ninety to nothing,
hung into guy-wire and scared
a horse that was hitched to a bug
gy, causing him to try his speed
around a few blocks. Scarcely
had time come to a close when
Hart's delivery donkeys took a
notion that they would show the
horses that the are not the only
thing that could run, so they spun
around a few blocks and to cap
the climax the Telephone Co.'S
horse finished the race up main
street, while all this was going
on the votes in the Piano Contest
was pouring in keeping things
mighty lively for an hour.

MISS KELLY wins
PICAYUNE PIANO

The contest closed Wednesday
afternoon promptly at 3 O'Clock,
as has been announced from the
beginning. The judges took
charge of the ballots, and carried
them to the Nevada County Bank
where the count was begun at
8 o'clock. On account of the
great number of ballots they
could not finish the count, but re-
sumed again last night.
The count has disclosed the
fact that Miss Kelly has won by
several hundred thousand votes.
We will pnblish the exact
number of votes received by
each contestant in next weeks
issue.
The Picayune wishes to thank
every one that helped to make
this one of the most pleasant and
agreeable contests that has ever
been pulled off in Prescott. Of
course some of the contestants
are disappointed but that is only
through life. the young ladies
all worked hard and received a
creditable vote, showing that
they were backed up by good
strong friends.
This is a nice instrument, and
| am sure that Miss Kelley will
think of her many admiring
friends every time she looks at
it, and when she hears the sweet
tone that it gives out that, she
will think of the many nice things
that were said of her during the
contest.
1t is the wish of the Picayune
that she may live long to enjoy
tue sweet confidence of her
| friends who have so nobly stood
by her.
We are sure again. that though
they lost, those who were not
successful enough to get the
Piano, hold in sweet memory
those friends that did their best
to win for them.
Last "but rot least" we wish
to thank the Judges who so kind
| ly consented to count the votes
for us, and who sat up many
nights in that service.

REVOLUTIONARY
FORCES TO DISBAND

Mexico City, Max, May %
A speedy dissolution of
the revolutionary forces will
be effected if the act
ion taken today by those in the
state of Hidalgo may be taken as
any indication. A committee re-
presenting the thousand Maderis-
tas in that state called on Presi-
dent de la Barra and at this con-
ference, tentative arrangements
were made for 200 of them to
enter the ranks of the rurals
and for the remainder to retire to
private life.
Those leaving the army will re-
ceiye from the government pay
fortheirhorsesand their arms the
expenses incident to the journey
to their respective homes and
certain sums of money that may
be regarded as wages. AS rapid
ly as possible the government will
make similar arrangements with
all revolutionist under arms and
1t is believed at the National
Palace that within six weeks the
only armed revolutionist remain
ing will be wearing the gray uni
form of the rural guard. Three
of the new cabinet members re-
ceived today their portfolios.
Manuel Calero was sworn in as
minister of the Department of
Fomento, DR.. Francisco Gomez
as minister of the interior.
Fafael Hernandez probably will
be the next member to take his
position in the presidential family.
AS soon as permission is given by
the Chamber of Deputies, of
which he is a member, he will be
installed at the head of the De-
partment of Justice.
