Thomp- son, gives the Kentucky Citizen the following statement of the action of the church: Hast Sunday morn ing at the Mount Horeb church the pastor read publicly the action of the church concerning Col w. c.

HE SERVES TWO MASTERS.
An Avenue From the City Jail to
 Salvation.

 Salvation.
 THE REPUBLICAN hereby sings the praises of Al. Hawley. MT. Hawley is the city jailer and a more efficient .Cerberus Phoenix never had. He serves two masters and notwithstand- ing the commonly interpreted meaning of a biblical aphorism he serves them with advantage to both and with credit to himself.
 He is fighting member of the Sal vation Army and carries his religions principles into the discharge of his off, cial duties.
 A prisoner who is unusually bad and in extraordinary need of salvation is carefully watched by his iailer until the expiration of his sentence. When the law has gotten through with him Al. steers him against the Army. If anything comes of it Al. stays with him takes him with him to supper and breakfast and keeps fatherly watch over him until he thinks that his con- version is permanent. In this way he has been the instrument of retaining several men whose cases were believed to be hoDeless. After five months one of them is faithful to the Army and the others more recently enrolled show no sign of desertion. It is true that his method tends to reduce the regular number of police court habitues. Al. says he used to be that way himself not a police court subject, but care less as to religion and morality. So like Queen Dido he learns to pity woes so like his own.

 in a Horrible Way.
Bites Him and Then Beats Him
 Beyond Endurance.

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-Phillip De Ring is big, muscular fellow, employed as a mechinist in the Riverside Fife works at Paterson, N. J. His wife is 8 small woman, robust and active. Her bus. band thinks man who works six days a week should rest Sunday, but Mrs. DeRing deems 1t paramount duty to at- tend church and pray on the day of rest. This difference of opinion has led to a disruption of the household, and the affair was dragged into court, when the husband was called before Recorder Stewart yesterday to answer a charge of non.support.
 De Ring said he could not live with his wife because of her violent temper and sharp teeth. "Sbe his bitten me. '" he continued, until my back and arms are black and blue with marks. One Sunday night, after coming from church, she rushed at me like a mad woman. did not go to church that evening and was sitting on the stoop when she came home. With knife in her hand she vowed that she would kill me. Then she struck me on the side of the head and kicked me off the stoop. She wiped her feet upon me to show her contempt, kicked me and picked up an iron horse and threw it at me.
 "After I got up I went upstairs to bed. thinking 1 could escape further abuse. but she followed me. She even dared me to lie down. I wouldn't be dared and threw myself on the bed. She held me down and kicked and beat me until became ill. 1 wanted to re- lieve my sickness, but she wouldn't let up, but fell upon me and began hitting my arms, shoulders and back until 1 had to call for help"
 A mum Der of witnesses testified that they had seen black and blue tooth marks on De Rings arms, shoulders and back. Mrs. De Ring confessed that she had bitten her husband. On the Sunday night referred to she said she was ''justitied'' in biting her hus- band in ''self defense," as he tried to cram pillow down her throat.
 The recorder intimated that the hus- band was right in attempting to ,cush- ion his wife's teeth. De Ring was re- quired, however, to give bonds for the payment of $2 a week for the support of his wife and child. He said he had offered to support both, but the wife insisted on asking him to court. It is against his nature, he said, to fight with woman and that was why he took so much punishment from his wife

THE CHINESE SCHOOL.
Reorganization of the System of
 Instruction.

Reorganization of the System of
 Instruction.
 meeting will be held at the Pres byterian church tonight for the pur- pose of reorganization for Chinese mission work in this city. Nearly a year ago several self sacrificing young ladies and gentlemen. without any special organization, enlisted the in- terest of about twenty-five of the better class of Chinese and started night school. The Chinese rented two rooms in the second story of building on First street berween Adams and Monroe. and the school was conducted there for @ period of five months. The Chinese proved to be industrious, en- thusiasuic and apt and the result was extremely satisfactory to teachers and pupils. The want of 8 complete organi- zation, however, vas felt among the teachers. The school was discontinued on the approach of warm weather, but the Chinese retained the rooms, paid the rent, $7 month during the sum- mer months, hoping that the work would be resumed this fall, and it is to be on 8 broader and better defined scale.
 The plan is to place the school under the control of members of the four churches. the Presbyterian. Methodists North and South, and the Baptist.
 Instruction will be given on four nights of each week, and the work is to be equally divided among the churches. The number of pupils will be consider ably larger than last year.

THE FIESTA PARADE.
Real Estate Men Interested in the
 Carnival.

Elaborate preparations are being made for the grandest street parade ever seen in Phoenix, next Thursday. It will be holiday long to be remember ed in the history of the city. A num- Der of energetic real estate men who understand that 8 success in this first attempt means repetition in the future by which from early advertising thousands of strangers can be attracted to the valley and the eastern and even the foreign press" will notice as they have in the California festivals. The spring comes earlier here and the flowers bloom sooner than in any other part of the United States. By follow ing the same line of advertising and pursuing the same tactics the Salt River valley could by s floral show early in the spring attract more visitors to the land where the flowers blossom all the year round.
 Like Mardi Gras of New Orleans the carnival Krewe of Kansas City and the fiesta of Los Angeles and San Jose, PhRnix can have fiesta that will make her as famous as any of the carnival cities. The main thing is to make good start, and big thing of the first show and the people of the territory will ever look forward to the fiesta of Phoenix as thing of joy.
