A short time since the Salvation
Army devoted week to self-denial, or
in other words, to scr mping and
saving in food, raiment and pleasure
that the needy might be fed and
clothed-not the needy in some fol eign
cline, but those in touch with their
everyday life. Such a sacrifice is en-
nobling, and is the truer test OF
christianity and a worthy reminder
to churches of other faiths that the
needy at home should not be over
looked ane, emphasizes the biblical
truth that Charity begins at home. :

The juvenile Band Concert given by

than the excellent rendering of music
and the brilliant order in which i

apparent to those living in this city
as it is to those who have lived where
the youthful members Of society had
less ennobling aims in lie, or where
their greatest ambitions were to be-
come hoodums or Texas Jacks. There
fore, the fact that the young boys and
Young men of River Falls have under
taken the task OF cultivating tleir
talents in such a way as to make
themselves useful members OF society
is another commendable feature that
deserves the greater praise, and the
successful attainment Of this higher
ideal as examplifed in the excellent

ed our native pride in the boys o.
our town and we feel that there are
but few cities of the size of River Fal S
that have a better class OF young

him whose personal inhu-
10 ence is generally admitted,
even by those who do not believe in him
as a divinity, to have been for the good
of mankind, for the bettermenU Of the
world. In those 1900 years most re
markable change has taken place among
the sons of men. Their ideals have been
changed radically-have been raised
from the low level of selfishness to the
high level of generosity. of good will to
al and of helpfulness. Year by year the
circle of Christian influence has widen
cd, and today it is felt in some degree
in every part of che world, save in some
few remote regions, like the densely
darkened interior Of China, or some as
yet unvisited corners in Africa.
Even among many of these peop,--s
who have not as yet accepted the i
gion founded on the first Christmas day
Jesus is held in high esteem. He is can
onized as saint by the Mohammedans.
he is known to the Buddhists as great
and good man, and when Japan made
war upon China, although the mass of
the Japanese are as yet non Christian,
their soldiers were cautioned not to con-
duct themselves with the cruelty of pa
gan times, but to remember that the
eyes of Christendom were upon them
and must not be scandaiized by wantoD
slaughterings of the helpless ana the
innocent. 1t is true that these warnings
were forgotten at Port Arthur, but the
blood that was ruthlessly shed there
was abjectly apologized for by the mi
kado, and in the main the war was con-
Quoted without the old time barbar-
isms.
1t is also true that there was war:
that there are still occasional wars Ee-
tween Christian nations, and that all
wars are violations Of the teachings of
Christ, but the fact remains that the
world is now practically at peace.

ATLANTIC x PACIFIC AFFAIRS.
( Motion ta Consolidate Proceedings Made Before by Judge J T.
 Hawkins To-day.

When the santa Fe railroad was sold and purchased by the old bond holders, Aldsce F. Walker and J. C. McCook, who were receivers of the road, as well as of the Atlantic X Pacific, completed their duties m connection with the former com pany, and at the same time rendered their resignations as receivers of the latter road. The application for the appointment of a receiver has been before the court at Albuquerque for several days, and was yesterday finally determined by the appoint ment of Charles W. Smith, formerly manager of the Santa Fe road. The appointment was satisfactory to all parties at interest, except the Mer- cantIle Trust Company, of New York, representing the first mort gage bonds of the company.
 Suits have been instituted here against the company, by both the Mercantile Trust Company and the United States Trust Company, both of New York, and holders, respect iyely, of the first and second mort gage bonds, for foreclosure of the mortgage and sale of the road, and a motion was made today before Judge Hawkins to have these pro ceedings consolidated into one suit
 Quite a formidable array of legal talent is employed in the case. Tie Mercantile Trust Company is repre- sented by William W. Green, of the firm of Alexander X Green, of New York, and by W. B. Childers, of Albuquerque; the United States Trust Company is represented by Neil B. Feild, of Albuquerque, and J. C. Herndou, of Prescott. The Atlantic X Pacific Railroad Com pany's interests are being looked after by T. w. Johnston and R. E. Sloan, of Prescott.
 The question of the appointment of receiver may also be taken up by the court, as It was in the case of the original appointments, although some of the attorneys contend that the appointment of MT. Smith, in Albuquerque by judge Collier, gives him jurisdiction over the entire length of the road.
 The hearing of the above case by consent of all parties was postponed uatil next Friday at PheniX.

The Juniper has a 700-foot shaft with levels run every 75 feet. The Mother Lode claim has q shaft down 375 feet with levels run at l3O, 2OO and 26O feet. The Triangle claim IS just being opened up, but Is producing fine ore. The Mother Lode ore IS sulphuret in character, the ore from the other claims being free milling.

ARTHUR DUDLEY
 VINTON'S SUIT.
He Wanted Eight Million Dollars From
 the Santa Fe Company.
He 6ets-knoeked Completely Out
 Of Court on Law Points.

Citizens of Prescott will remember Arthcr Dudley NInton.th New York attorney, genial whole souled mau that he was, who came out here tO straighten up the business of the old r X \. C railroad. They will re- member too that it was a cold day when NIT. Niaton did not commence a suit against the Atlantic X Pacific railroad company Or the Santa Fe company. In fact Mir. NInton had been in the same business in New York and had become accustomed to it. SO far as the court records show however be never won a single suit here.
 After returning to New York Mir. Ninton brought perhaps the greatest suit 0f hls life. lt was against the Santa Fe company and asked for the modest sum ot SS,OO0.OlO damages.
 A part of the story of this suit is told in the following associated press telegram from New York dated January e.
 "A jury was today sworn in before Judge Lacombe 10 the United States Circuit Court to try the suit brought by the Prescott and Arizona Cen tral railroad against the Santa Fe railroad company, and about fifty other defendants, including the rail road company's directors and stock holders, among them being Russell Sage, the Gould interests and others. The amount involved Is SS,2J0,OcO.
 "l, Is alleged in the complaint that the defendants ente.ed into a conspiracy Co ruin the Prescott and Arizona Central railway after having failed Co get possession of it's capital stock The plaintiffs road has a track running from Prescott to SelIgman, Ariz, part of the way being through property oi the United States, the Whipple BArrack reservation.
 One of the allegations charge that the defendants road refused to deliver freight and passengers con signed to the Prescott and Arizona Central railroad, and thereby crip- pied the latter corporation so that Il had Co suspend operations. The defendants assert that the building of road, rival to the plaintiff and extending further, was the cause oi the trouble They also make a gen eral denial of the complaint. After the jury had been selected and sworn arguments on points of law were heard. The taking of testimony will begin tomorrow
 The rest of the story was told in a brief telegram received this morning by F. NJ. Murphy, president of the .. F., r. X F. railroad, which stated that the case was decided against the r. X A.C. railroad on law points.

very Desirable Calendar.

Calendars of ali kinds and sizes herald the coming year. Many are to be had for the asking to them as to other things the rule might be applied that what costs nothing Is worth about what 1t costs. The calendar we always welcome has just reached us. We refer to the one published by \. W. Aver X Son, Newspaper Advertising Agents, Philadelphia. This issue seems if possible even better than its predecessors. Handsome enough for the library, and yet carefully adapted for every day use, it is naturally a great favorite. Those who have used this calendar in other years will not be surprised to learn that the demand for it Is constantly increasing. Once introduced 1t be- comes a welcome friend.
