SIEGERT & SONS. The Hottest Desert in the World. | From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. | «¢ is not generally knewn that the hot- test, most arid desert in the world is in the United States, but such is the fact.” said R. C. McKeighan of San Deigo to the corridor man at the Lindell. “The Cocapah desert is small, but {t is the most dangerous of any in the known world. Standing upon the mountain range to the east, looking across the sixty miles of plain to another mountain range on the wesi, with glimpses of two smail lakes midway between, it does not appear that it requires any ex- traordinary feat of danger or endurance to cross the plain. And this has caused the loss of many lives. The sand of that @esert is so hot that in a few miles the shoes will be literally burned off the trav- eler’s feet, beasts will be overcome before half the distance is encompassed, and the adventurous traveler dies in agony, literal consumed with heat from without and thirst within. Many have been known to attempt the journey and but few have beer known to return. These had gone no further than | the first lake, and finding it salt water, had beaten a retreat. The nearest lake has | been reached often enough to know that it lebhs and flows with the Gulf of Cali. | fornia, and the water fs the same, hence |it must be a part of that body, although | separated from it by sixty or seventy miles ‘of solid earth and a high range of moun- e | he South American | | | | | | i | | \ tains. This range was probably at one time | jan island, and the Cocapah desert the bot- | tom of the sea. I once started across the | barren waste to investigate. but I had not | gone ten miles before becoming completely exhausted, the soles of my feet were biis- | tered with heat, my brain grew dizzy, I could get no air, and the breath seemed to stop in my throat. I turned back just in time to save my life, and when I reached |the forests of the mountain once more I was delirious for hours.” ‘The New York Senate committee on cities at its meeting has killed the greater New York bill, prepared by the commission, and introduced by Senator Cantor; and voted to report the bill of Senator Reynolds, pzovid- ling that the cities of New York, Brooklyn and Long Island shall vote on consolidation and equalization of taxation. -ces | The Kearsarge Men Homeward Bound | The steamer City of Para sailed from !

One Harvard lent Ka other While Boxing. A. H. Linder, Harvard, ‘95, of Boston, ergaged in a friendly boxing bout with Arthur Foster, ‘96, of Jacksonville, Fia., on Tuesday night. In one of the rounds Foster administered a stinging blow be- tween the chin and ear to Linder, and the latter fell to the floor. Whether he hit his head in so doing is not known, He re- mained unconscious all night in’ spite of the combined efforts of several physicians and nurses, Yesterday morning the doc- tor announced that Hinder could not live six hours. Last night. however, he was still living, but unconscious, and breathing with ditticulty. The trouble seems to concussion of the brain. ‘The doctors can give no relief, and are simply waiting for was the leading candidate for quarter beck on the eleven last fall, until he was taken ill with pneumonia and forced to stop playing. He was trainng for a sparirng eivent in the games of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on Saturday. He is sup- posed to be one of the strongest and most skillful boxers in the university. On Tue: dsy he asked Linder, who has also a repu- tation in the sparring line, to give him a practice bout at the rooms of the new spar- ring club. Linder accepted, and at about 4:30 on Tuesday the two met and began their rounds. There was a regular timer pres- ent, for the exhibition was supposed to be ‘a test of Foster's condition. Friendly feeling prevailed on each side, although the fighting was at times hard. Then came the blow which produced the serious re- sult. Linder is a member of the Pi Eta So-; ciety and the shooting club, and is also secretary of the sparring club. He is a| quiet man, and was generally liked. Fos- ter is one of the best known men in his class. He is deeply aifected by the acel- dent and is inconsolable. Notes.

It looks now as if a number of extra drills | will be necessarv if the High School cadet | regiment is to make a creditable showing in the parade on the'22d of February. Today's drill was to have been devoted exclusively to regimental formations and marching» in | column of companies, but the weather being so unfavorable the companies utilized the time in their respective a-mories with drills | in the manual of arms. The coming parade is being locked forward to with great inter- jest, as it will the first public appearance of the regiment. Theze is still further in-| terest manifested in view of the fact that | | the field and staff officers are to be mount- ed, and it is positively known that the | majority of these officers have had little, if | i |any, experience in horsemanship. The line of march has not been decided upon yet, but it will be published in the course of a few days. It is thought and reported that |a dress parade will be given after che Une of march has been covered, but such a ru- | mor has not yet been confirmed. The attendance at the night Hight School | very pcor last night owing to the in-! j clemency of the weather, there being but | seventy-eight present. On next Wednesday evening Miss Anna S.

In the scuth, which is’ supposei to be the home of clinging, tender, trustful, fragile, shrinking petticoated humanity, it is ram- pant. The two leading delegates from Dixie to the National American Woman's Suffrage Association call Kentucky home. They are Miss Laura Clay, daughter of / the celebrated Col. Cassius M. Clay, and Mrs. Josephine Henry, who recently ran for clerk of the supreme court of her com- monwealth, and re2eived 5,000 votes. “They were ail cast by men,” she said at the Riggs House last night, “which proves that we have at least 5,000 maies in Ken- tucky who are willing to give us our rights.” Miss Clay is tall and broad and strong, with an open face and a frank smile. Mrs. Henry is small and slender, and wears &.asses. They talk exceedingly well, with the fluency that indicates the practiced speaker. Miss Clay is president of the Kentucky association. “There are woman suffrage associatiors in twelve of the southern states,” said, “Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, | Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky | and Missouri. But three are without them. These are North Carolina, West Virginia | and Mississippi. and I am confident that a | State organization will be soon effected in Mississippi. Much interest is felt there, and two-thirds of the recent constitutional j convention voted to give woman the suf- frage. While our numbers are not large, we compare favorably in that respect with many states of the north which contain much older associations. We are not 30 fur along as the west, but we are moving. Scuthern women look upon extension of suf- frage as inevitable. It is bound to come, if but for the inestimable benefit it would confer upon our section. It will be readily seen that by giving women the right to vote with an educational qualification the racial question would be set at rest for- |ever, for the reason that néarly all south- ern white wome1 possess some schooling, while very few negro women have any. | By an educational qualification, I mean j ability to read and write the English lan- guage. We have no wish to exclude col- cred women from the polls. We insist only that they be able to vote intelligently. Such a law would be really an incentive to them to improve themselves. Woman suffrage in the south would preciude for ‘all time the charce of republican control {of any southern state. For this reason, if for no other, we believe that the democratic | party will aid us.” “If the men of the south think that south- | 7B. women do not wish the ballot,” said Mrs. Henry, “they were never more mis- taken in their Itves. Why, in three of the states women have individually petitioned the legislatures for suffrage. They .ought to know what they want. The best women {of our section seek the right to go to the polls. I ran for supreme court.clerk upon the prohibition ticket, and in Kentucky, too. But for that fact I would have been given 20,000 votes.” “What we have done in the south,” said | Miss Clay, “has been accomplished almost | entirely without assistance from the nortu. Kentucky has not had apy at all. We are marching on.” : Ex-United States Senator Paddock of Nebraska was in a musing mood at the ; Normandie. “The trains from this town to New York,” he said, “go like a bullet.

S. Duenkelebuchler, vice consul at Nuren- and, lately, also the La Plata wheat. Ef- forts to Introduce American wheat flour before 1881 were unsuccessful, the quality and manner of grinding of American flour not answering the requirements of Bavar- jan bakers. In that year a duty was levied of 71 cents per 220 pounds of flour, and in 1887 it was made three times as much, put- ting a stop to all American trade. Arthur di Cima, vice consul Mozattan, Mexico, reports that the only obstacles in the way of the extension of the trade in American are: High exchange (the Mexican dollar being 513-4 cents), high rates of freight ($10 per ton) and the enor- mougNimport duty of $97 per ton. T. K. Geary, vice consul at Malaga, says: “The duty on wheat is the obstacle to trade in the American article. American wheat four is not in much demand fn that mar- ket, though it sells by degrees, wheat flout from hard wheat being preferred. There is ®& great consumption of flour.

The chairman assured the hotel people that they need have no fear that their houses would not be crowded during the encampment, as he fully experi- ed that all available hotel and boarding house accommodations would be made vse } of by the visitors in August. A statement | was made by one of the hotel proprietors that to his knowledge the hotels would not | raise their prices during the cncampment, but that they would do all in their power to accommodate as many as they for as low rates as possible.
