arrived Friday from Washington, D. O., belongs to an extensive and rapidly growing coterie of that city with whom fad. About the first thing he did after arranging business at the postoffice was to drive over to Tempe and visit the scene of some of Lieut.. Frank Cush1ng's excavations of few years ago, while at the head of the Hemenway expedition. X X
 It will be noted with interest that by the terms of the will of Mrs. Mary Hemenway, who died few weeks ago, the trustees are authorized to dispose at their discretion of her valuable collec- ton of archaeological and historical relics which includes all the Aztec and other ancient pottery, weapons, etc., excavated by Lieut.. Gushing, forming the greatest collection of the kind ex- tant.
 A lady residing in this valley who en- joys the warm personal friendship of Mrs. Cushing received a short time ago letter stating that with the lieutenant she would be again in this locality be- fore figs were ripe and that he would probably resume his work on an exten- give scale and under different auspices.
 
 When the chairman of the Territorial Live Stock and Sanitary commission wired to the bureau of animal industry at Washington for the assistance of a skilled veterinarian and was notified that the epidemic of glanders must be stamped out by local authorities, many people wondered what the bureau amounted to anyhow if it could not be relied upon in such an emergency. Su bsequent developments have shown that while not maintaining corps of practitioners it nevertheless is neither dead letter nor an excuse for drawing salaries.
 From this bureau the gentlemen of the territorial commission have received g preparation called 'Mallein," of con- paretive recent discovery and 8 part of the results of modern researches into the nature of germ diseases of man and beast. By it's aid It is possible to dis cover the dread glanders lurking in the system of animals even where there is no outward manifestation.

 The creatures suspected are inoculated usually upon the neck and, if glandered, swelling, which is consequent, reveals the disease. The most painstaking efforts have been made to perman- ently abolish the malady which has existed to some degree in the valley for over two years. It is animals afflicted. When these have been added to the thirty or forty now in quarantine at the Barkley ranch near Mesa and when the huge piles of wood which are now being hauled there, are devoted to the purpose for which they are intended, that of burning the dead carcasses, it is confidently hoped that there will be no more glanders.
 
 Miss Emily s. Allen, the talented pianist and organist, now on visit to her sister in Phoenix, is a native of the | Hoosier state. As a child she showed wonderful promise and was given the best possible musical advantages. She pursued her studies abroad under the celebrated instructors, Heinrich Earth and Felix Dreyschock, and now ranks among the foremost artists. Her con- ception of thn works of the masters is truly wonderful, and certain amount of originality makes her rendition of the choice works all the more charm ing. Many of our lovers of music desire that Miss Allen appear in public before leaving Phoenix, in which case odr peo- pie will have an opportunity of hearing this talented artist.
