MISS PURDY'S RECITAL.
A Pleasant Social Event at the Opera
House.

Last night the opera house was filled
with an audience that was appreciatlve
as we'll as enthusiastic. Miss Purdy
began the programme with the recital
of widow Browns COurtship." The
young lady sustained the character ad-
mirably The piece was difficult one,
but Miss Purdy carried herself with
her habitual ease and grace.
Miss Mamie Fickas followed Miss
Purdy and recited 1.-The Minuet." The
young lady is pupil of Miss Purdy
and right gracefully did she carry the
narration of the story.
Ernest E. Ford rendered banjo solo
that met with hearty approval, so much
so, that he was recalled.
The Launch of the Ship" by Misses
Beulah Montgomery, Annie Kibbey,
| Matte Garnet and Bessie Fickas was
prettily rendered. The young ladies
are pupils of Miss Purdy's and in their
delivery their voices were even and
well modulated and the gestures in
perfect unison.
| The chariot race scene from Ben
Hur," by Miss Purdy, was so realistic
that the audience could almost hear
the gathering of the chariots around
the race course.
The solo by W. E. Deity, Come Into
the Garden, Maud" was delivered by
that talented gentleman with his usual
and recognized ability. Mr.. Deity was
for several years pupil of Fitzgibbon,
of London, who is recognized in the
worlds music circle as one of the most
thorough and complete vocal finishing
masters of Europe, and for a number
of years past occupying the highly i'm
portant office of examiner TO the Royal
Academy of Music. Master and pupil
in this instance reflect credit upon
each other.
Miss Beulah Montgomery recited
'fPyramus and Thisbe." She made a
decided hit and for a damsel of her
years has talent that would do credit to
one many years her senior
Miss Flora Cohn, a young lady Whose
ability as a pianist is very well known
in Phoenix, cleverly rendered Beetho-
ven's Moonlight Sonata" She de-
served the high applause she received
The programme was closed by Miss
Purdy, who recited "The Flight OF
Duchess May"
Many beautiful floral pieces were
handed Miss Purdy and her young pu-
pills as testimonials from admirers in
the audience.

NO Hope FOR DEMOCRACY
Except on a Free Silver
Platform.
A Manifesto Issued by Senator
Harris.
An Unlimited COInaPe Plank Must
An Unlimited Coinage Plank Must
BE in the Democratic
Platform.

WASHINGTON Nov. Ex-senator
Harris, chairman of the executive COM
mittee of six appointed at the Wash
ington conference of last August to
organize for the campaign of 1896 the
free silver Democrats of the country,
has sent letter to his colleague, the
chief feature of which is the following
"In the light of recent election re-
suits, there is, in my opinion, no hope
of Democratic success in 1896, unless
we can succeed in so organizing BIZ
metallic Democrats as to secure in the
National convention a plain, distinct
and unmistakable declaration in favor
of the free and unlimited coinage of
both silver and gold, without regard to
the financial policies of other countries,
and therefore it appears to me that we
should redouble our efforts to secure
such organization"
Senator Harris colleagues are Sen
ator Jones of Arkansas, Senator Tur-
pie of Indiana, Governor Stone of Mis-
souri,, Hon. W. H. Henrichsen of Illi-
nois and Casey Young of Tennessee.

PETROLEUM IN KANSAS.
Now That Market Has Been Made for
1t, Developments Are Expected.

TOPEKA, Kas, Nov. 14.-Topeka
men interested in the oil fields of Kan
sas are elated today by the statement
from Neodesha that Guffey and Galley,
who have charge of the Standard Oil
company's leases in southeastern Kan
sas, have begun the purchase of "oil
balances" paying fifty-six cents bar
rel. This breaks long suspense and
uncertainty and, taken with the report
from the east that Kansas will soon be
depended upon for the petroleum sup
ply of the country, will stimulate oper-
ations in the Kansas field. The Kan
miles northeast and southwest of
Neodesha, where oil was first discover
ed in December, 1892. During 1894,
over 100 wells were drilled in this ter
ritory, nearly all showing more or less
oil. During this year, operations were
not so active, as freight rates were so
high as to prohibit putting oil on the
markets. Everthing has been waiting
for the market just made. In Ohio and
Indiana fields, oil was first put on the
market at twelve and fifteen cents per
barrel Several land owners in the
Kansas district have received from ST.
900 to $4,000 royalty, almost as much
as the land was worth before the oil
discovery. Thousands of acres of land
counted inside territory which could
not be leased heretofore will now
doubtless be leased and operated at
oce.

DURRANT'S AFFIDAVIT.
Ground on Which a New Trial Will
Be Sought

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14.-The
attorneys for Theodore Durrant have
prepared the affidavit of their client to
be read in support Of their motion for
a new trial on Friday, November %.
Two of the principal points on which
a new trial will be asked are the rul-
ings Of Judge Murphy as to Juror
Brown, who was peremptorily chal-
lenged by the prosecution after he had
been accepted and sworn, and refused
to grant change of venue.
The newspapers will be attacked in
the affidavit for alleged prosecution OF
the prisoner which, defendants coun-
sci think, led to prejudice against
Durrant.

GATHERING TIE FLEETS.
General Action Against
Turkey.
Warships Gathering for DEM
OnStration.
Reports of Awful Atrocities Still
Continue to Come from
Armenia.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 14.-An
Italian fleet is understood to be on the
way to Salonica bay to join the British
fleet. About twenty warships are al
ready there The French fleet is soon
expected there and representatives of
the powers as result of communica-
tions exchanged with their govern
ments have had another informal meet
ing at the French embassy.
When the three squadrons have
united and Sir Philip Currie, the Brit
ish ambassador, returns, some de-
cided step upon the part of the powers
may be anticipated.
Kurds of Van are said to be attack
ing and pillaging Armenian villages
and Turkish officials are reported
powerless to preserve order.
Every day brings further details OF
massacres at Erzeroum and each re-
port makes the story of crimes there
more ghastly. Men, women and chill
dren were shot, bayonetted, burned
and outraged for days, the killing and
mutilation lasting weeks, though in
tervals of rest are recorded.
Orders for these outrages are said to
have been sent out by the Porte and
they were carried out in the most
cruel manner imaginable.
The number of killed will probably
never be known and it is estimated
from 500 to 1900 according to the
Turkish or Armenian version of the
affair. Certainly many hundreds were
killed and it is even said some victims
were skinned alive, while others wers
soaked with petroleum and set afire.

MAY SETTLE IN ADVANCE.
Republican Committeeman Will TAX
Over the Convention City Quietly.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-The near
approach of the meeting of the Repub-
lican National committee has revived
interest in the city to be selected as the
meeting place of the Republican Ma
tional convention. The fight will be a
spirited one, but it is said that the To-
cation will be practically settled before
the committee meets, as Chairman Car
ter is credited with having sent out an
informal letter inviting the committee
men to meet him in New York the first
week of next month and talk the mat
ter over.
Mr.. Platt is said to favor Chicago.
Mr.. Quay wants Pittsfburg and Mr..
Clarkson is advocating San Francisco.
There is some opposition to Chicago ON
account of its central location and easy
accessibility. Thousands of the politi-
clans of the states adjoining Illinois
make it point to get ITO Chicago and
the pressure which they bring to bear
upon their committeeman and other
leaders for seats in the convention
causes an immense amount of worry.
This annoyance would be obviated by
the selection of some city less easily
reached. The local atmosphere of San
Francisco, too, if that city should be
chosen, would not fbe specially favora-
BILE to any one candidate, unless, in
deed, it might aid Mr.. Reed, who is
very popular on the slope.

Gated
The real estate man became acquainted
with him at the hotel at which he was
stopping and thought 1t was q good chance
to win q little spare cash. He therefore
suggested "a little game with few friends"
TO the green young man. Tue offer was ao-
cepted and arrangements were made to
pull 1t off that night.
One Of the friends was a gentleman of
the short card variety, who was expected
to capture The cash. OF which the young
man appeared to have plenty and to spare.
When everything was In shape, cards. chips.
chairs and other necessaries having been
provided, they adjourned to the young
chaps room.
Everything SO far had gone lovely and
the real estate man was patting himself
on the back. He had called in a couple
OF his own friends to help fill up the
game and had also succeeded in ropiDg
in another travelling man, who looked to
be as green as the first one.
NEATLY TAKEN IN.
To cut long story short the schemers
got fooled in the worst kind OF way. The
unsophisticated young CLAP with the in
nocent air turned out to be as slick as
they make them. He had been tipped
OFF, before the game what kind OF a gang
he was going up against and when he
reached the room he quietly took the box
of chips and said he guessed he would

This was not down on the slate of the
dealer in real property. but be thought it
would not make much difference who
handled the cash and did not make a kick.
The game went on very quietly for some
time. At the end of few hours the green
youth was something over a hundred in
the hole. The other travelling man had
bought several times, and the Others had
put in from twenty five to hundred odd
just for appearances sake.
The "sbort card man" had all the money,
including the hundred odd that the victim
had lost, and 1T looked as If they would only
have TO SIT long enough to break both him
and his fellow victim. Along toward morn

that was the last seen OF him and the cash.
