CHILDREN'S PARTY.
Happy Little Ones Dance and
 Play.
Misses Willie and Marguerite Mar tin Celebrate Their Birthdays in n
 Becomming Manner.

The residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. c. Martin on Stone avenue belonged to the childr=n of Tucson last Saturday night. And the little folks had about as good time as It was possible for them to have.
 The occasion was the celebration of the birthdays of Misses Willie and Marguerite Martin. The children are seven and nine years old respectively with their birthdays are only few days apart so are celebrated at the same time. The two little ladies made perfect hostesses and in the most natural man her possible looked after the comfort of all their guests. Both wore pretty and becoming gowns and were admired by all. They are very clever children and in appearance perfect mInatures of their charming mother.
 So many of the little ones who at tended lt was their first party and they did enjoy it so much. There was dancing, and the little feet flow ever the "aA HUI IO luO cLItN6blOR 5OIdlu Oi music or gave fOrfeits with the greatest pleasure.
 The presents received by the little ones were past count and included every thing from dolls to. complete furnished house4- Many of those who brought presents neglected to bring cards so they cannot be thanked individually as their hostesses would have liked to have had the pleasure of doing.
 Miss Willie Martin wore a gown of pale blue Indian crape with pink silk gemp.
 Miss Marguerite Mqrt;n were red silk Empire gown, sleeveless and cut decollette.
 At about half past nine the children all went into the dining room where supper. was spread. The table was loaded with ali the good things obtain able and justice was done to them as only children can do it. After re- treatments more dancing and games were ipdulged and by that time parents and big brothers began to arrive for the purpose of taking the little ones home. They were 10th to depart but fully realised that all good times must have an end.
 Altogether there were about one hundred present including the parents of many of the children who helped out the festivities, felling how good it was to "become child gain"

A WATCH THAT TALKS.
It Is So Made That It Speaks the Hours
 Instead of Striking Them.

Instead or StrlHlhS IneDh-
 1t is said a matchmaker of Geneva, Switzerland, has just completed a watch which, instead of striking the hours and quarters. announces them by speaking like the phonograph. The mechanism of the watch is based on photographic conditions, the bottom of the case con taining a photographic sensitive plate which has received the impression of the human voice before being inserted ID the watch.
 The disk, according to the Jewellers Circular, has forty-eight concentric grooves, of which twelve repeat the hours, twelve those of the hours and quarters. and twelve more those of the hours and second and third quarters. If the hand on the dial shows the time to be 1915 o'clock, one of the fine needle points of the mechanism crosses the corresponding groove and the disk, which turns simultaneously, calls out the time, just as the photographic cyl finder. The lower li6 of the case is pro vided with tiny mouthpiece, and when the watch is held to the ear the sound is all the more plain.

spry Old Maine People.

Maine is noted for her hale and spry old people. EX-Gov. Garcelon, in Lew iston, eighty-fve years old, is an active rider and driver of fast horses, of which his stables contain twenty-three fine animals. Mrs. Jonathan Dow, of Deer Isle, eighty years old, has knitted forty pairs of stockings and woven two hun dred yards of rag carpeting and one hundred yards of cloth during the past season in odd moments snatched from her general homework and the care of q flock of hens. Mrs. Joanna Bunker, of, West Trenton, eighty-seven years old, has just finished waistcoat which she cut and made without the use of glasses. Mir. Robbins, also of Deer Isle, is seventy-six, and, last year, besides doing much repairing to vehicles, he made all the woodwork for four carts, one jigger, double-seated wagon and horse sled.
 A Philosophical Family. Amelia has pimples, and sores in the
 head,
 From humors internal her nose has
 grown red; She's a boil on her neck that is big as
 bell,
 But in other respects she is doing quite
 well.
 And pa has dyspepsia, malaria and gout, His hands with salt-rheum are all broken
 out;
 He is prone to rhenmatics that make his
 legs swell,
 But in o her respects be is doing quite
 well.
 And ma has night-sweats and trouble some cough, That all of our doctors can't seem to drive off;
 She wakes every night and coughs quite
 spell,
 But in other respects she is doing quite
 well
 There is nothing like philosophy to help one bear the ills of life, but in the case of this family what is most needed is good supply of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It would cleanse Amelia's bad blood, cure pas ailments, and check mas cough. The "Golden Medical Discovery" by its action on the liver, cleanses the system of its impuri- ties.

Prospect of Riding from Cape Horn to
 Cape Town by Continuous Rail.
 It adds something to the zest of life if one has a healthy and active fancy to reflect that there are people now living who may travel by continuous rail from Cape Horn to the Cape of Good Hope. The plan of a ''pan-Amer- ican" railway to connect the South American systems. through Central America, with the systems of Mexico and the United States, is already well advanced. There are, says the Review of Reviews, to be roads from the Cana dian Pacific away up to the Peace river and Mackenzie valleys, and it is not very hard to believe that these may ultimately be extended across the Rockies to the Ul1on valley in Alaska, and continued finally to the narrow and shallow Behring straits, across which a connection would be made with the Siberian road. Continuous rail travel from Siberia to COnstantinople will soon have become an accomplished fact, and the link from COnstantinOple to Egypt may be expected quite conf dently. At the present rate of develop ments in Africa the construction of a road from Egypt to the Cape ought to be realized within twenty-five years. The channel tunnel will, of course, have been built, and electricity or some still. more powerful motive force1will have superseded steam; so that the Cali fornians and Puget sound denizens would naturally go to London by fast Alaskarand Siberian express. If they chose they might return by steamship, making the passage in two or three days from the west coast of Ireland to Labrador or Halifax. In view of all that has been done in the past twenty five years such further development of travelling facilities is easily within the realm of sober prediction.

A resident of West Chester, Pa., is au- thority for the following dog story" as 1t was reeited to him by soldier: Troop F of the Sixth cavalry owned dog which accompanied it on every trip. At the battle of Wounded Knee some time ago the animal was abandoned and was found in 8 snOwdrift by ser geant of I troop, who took it away and cared for it. The animal could not be persuaded to return to it's former own CTS and remained with the sergeant. One day the sergeant was reduced to the ranks for some breach of discipline. From that day forth the dog would have nothing whatever to do with him and took up its quarters in another tent It could never again be persuaded to re- turn to the sergeant, evidently consider ing reduced man as far beneath it's notice"

THE U. S LAND COURT.
A Far-reaching Decision by the Court this Morning Against
 Perfect Grants.

The land court was in session all fore- noon, and among other things handed down decision adverse to that class of claims known as perfect grants" which is very far reaching in that 1t applies to at .least dozen grants situated in the several counties of northern and central New Mexico.
 In case No. f, the Rio Colorado grant, involving some 19,000 acres in Taos county, the court held that no authority had been shown for the Mexican prefect to make grants, and announced that the arehlve showing the ratification and ap- proval of the perfect's action by the then governor of thIs province was not suffi- cient upon which to base grant, and or dered that the petition be dismissed. A similar order was made Tn the matter of the San Antonito grant, situated in the Tjeras region, in northern Bernalillo county, and sad tO co, si,t of about 30,- GOO acres. This latter tract is occupied by some 300 settlers. Messrs. Geo. Hill Howard and Y. F. Lgughlin attorneys. for these two p1efect grants, were un- able to say whether the Ca es would be appealed to the Supreme Court. How ever, should no appeal be taken, settlers within the boundaries Cf these tracts have remedy. ander the small holdings clause of the act establishing the land court.
 In case No. 26. the Rancho de Galvan grant, decided in favor of the United States at the ast sitting of the court, and involving 1000 acres in Bernalillo county a motion for rehearing was denied by the court.
 The Jose Duran grant, involving 400 acres in the southern suburbs of Santa Fe. was argued by MT. Laughlin and United States Attorney Reynolds and submitted to the court.-New Mexican.

seamen's riend Society.

The PortlandS amen's Friend Society
held its annual meeting yesterday after
noon. Its officers are: 81. H. Burgess,
president; John M, Gould, treasurer; F.
Southworth, secretary; directors, W. S.
Dana, 2. r. Harrington, John ii. True
and Roscoe S. Davis. Its special object
is the promotion of the moral and spirit
ual welfare of seamen at this port as the
foundation of all genuine prosperity.
With this intent it labors to sustain the
Bethel church, with its religious and So
cial services and the reading room, free
and daily open, where the seaman can
spend quiet hour, reading or writing
letters. 1t also secures visitation to the
vessels in port for the distribution of
reading and invitation to these privileges.
Tt moreover aims to secure these results
by sending libraries aboard vessels sail
ing from here, of select books, chiefly
aboard fishing and coasting vessels OF our
own seaboard. Nearly 500 of these Ii
braries have been sent out during the
past twenty years, containing not far
from 5000 books in all. Fourteen have
been put up the past year. Capt. Reuel
S. Spear, who has had charge of the read
ing room, and who is more than eighty
years old and has seen great deal of
hard service at sea, reports the past year
1915 visits and 517 letters written, and a
good increase in interest. Everything is
more encouraging now than at any time

Judge Virgin will be greatly missed by
those whose business brought them very
much into relations with the courts OF

and snow-white hair, he was justice
from whom all were sure of a fair hear
ing and ruling. In the opinion of many,
he was one Of the best equipped jurists

bench prevented him from showing his
ability as a ''case-getter. =

THE RICH CASE.
He VIII Probably Be Brought Up In the
Municipal Court This Morning

Yesterday was civil day in the NUM-
cipal Court, and Charles Rich, who has
been arrested on charge of forgery, lay
in his cell all day, awaiting the calling
of his case in the Municipal Court, which
is expected to occur this morning. Sew
eral attempts were made to get bail; but
without success. 1t was thought last
evening, however, that some of his
friends would furnish bail this morning.
Mr.. Rich was very confident of it.
Yesterday there was a divided opinion
in regard to Mr.. Rich case, Much sym
pathy was felt for his family, the mem
bers of which are highly respected.
There was also much sympathy for Mr..
Rich himself.
But yesterday it was learned that Mr..
Moore is not the only one to suffer by
Mr.. Rich's methods. No other cases OF
forgery have been brought to light; but
there are many people, especially bust
ness men, in the city, who have lost
through scheme he had of obtaining
notes from them. a well-known mer-
chant Of this city outlined this scheme
Yesterday. Mr.. Rich would go to bus
mess man and ask him if he did not
want to borrow few hundred dollors at a
low rate of interest. If the merchant
did, he, (Rich) could geti for him. The
loan being arranged Rich would ask him
for his note, and when it was made out,
would take it, promising to return di-
rectly with the money. But he did not
usually return. Instead he would dis
pose Of the note for cash, and keep the
cash. A number of business men OF
Portland are said to be losers by such
notes; and it is surmised that they may
amount in all to several thousand dol
lars.
Charles Rich has been possessed OF
considerable property. His father died
six or more years ago, leaving him a
handsome sum, perhaps $4,000 or $780,
900. All this has disappeared apparent
ly, and some of the money of other peo-
pie with it. Some have expressed sur
prise at this disappearance OF property,
as MI. Rich has lived simply and has not
been drinking man or addicted to 9TH
er bad habits. 1t is generally believed
that unfortunate investments or specu-
la ions have caused the loss of property
which seems to be at the bottom OF his
present trouble.
