Since 1 wrote you about the town
we've seen quite a lot of things but
I've been kind of disappointed in EN-.
We went to the British Museum the
other day and l expected to seen wal
ruses and British Lions and John
Bulls and uniforms and things like that
but they didn't have anything worth
looking at except mummieS. There
was some Elgin marbles Pop was n
iOus to see and l wanted to see 'cm
too because I'm fond of marbles but
when we came to them they weren't
u kind of marbles at all, only statch-
uary and great big slabs of figures
with broken noses and things like that.
There wasn't a thing in the whole
place to compare with the circus mu-
seums we have at home except the
mummies and they We're fine, though
there wasn't n live one in the place.
We saw the mummy of Cleopatra who
used to be the Queen of Egypt about
a million years ago. and ! must say if
she looked like that I'm glad | wasn't
alive then. Bogie men aren't in it
with people like Cleopatra. She was a
fearful looking lady but it was fun
looking at her mummy and thinking
how she'd been a Queen once and now
wasn't anything but a side show to a
museum. 1t sort of makes YOU salts

ing ahead of you but being President
when you think how the Kings and
Queens of those times weren't al
lowed to keep quiet in their sarcoph-
aguses. as they call the boxes num-
mics are buried in, but have to be
trotted out to amuse people. Pop says
it's an outrage to disturb a lady like
that and l agree with him. I'd hate
like anything to be hauled out for a
meseum a thousand years from now,
and have people look at me and say
o my. That Bob Drake? / thought
he was a better looking boy than that.

AN ORIGINAL IDEA.
High School Students Learn How to
 Vote.

Superintendent William B. Creager, of the city schools, yesterday gave the students a lesson in the great duty they will have to perform when they are become men, how to vote the Aus tralian ballot system
 On slips of paper, representing the official ballot, were written the names of the various candidates and the youthful voters instructed how to mark each name in order to signify whether or not they wished to vote for that candidate. The school register num- ber was used for the registration num- Der and they voted just as their fathers did the day before at the regular polls. Out of ninety-fou votes cast Major William Mckinley received forty-four and William Jennings Bryan forty four. The remaining six votes were thrown out for being improperly marked.
 During the course of the balloting considerable excitement was caused by seven of the votes being challenged. One was challenged on the ground that he had not been in the ward the proper time; another that he had not become a naturalized citizen, and third that he did not possess sufficient intelli- gence to understand what he was do ing.
 The object lesson was very instruct i've ito the pupils as we'll as enjoyable and is a good preparation for what they will have to do in years to come

Woolen goods in New York have fallen 50 per cent in prices in the last two months. We bought all of our woolen dress goods for spot cash on a fallen market and will sell our dress goods for 50 per cent less than any other store that bought their goods ear Her in the season. We have just re- ceived and placed on sale 100 pieces woolen dress goods ranging in prices from 10 to 35 cents per yard, worth from 20 to 50 cents per yard. We are now offer ing the finest grades of wooden and silk dress goods at prices If the qual- ity can be found in any other store in this city alt alp, the prices for it would be double. We are still selling ladies' capes ranging from $1 25 &o S7.50 each worth from 8 to s15.

FAUST WAS A TREAT.

Goethe's immortal Faust was ren- dered to an enormous crowd Tuesday night. The opera house was packed and the audience appreciated the in tensely dramatic points of the play. MT. Roberts, as Mephisto, was a per feet incarnation of the evil one. His hideous laugh was terror-inspiring, and the splendid electrical effects aided the gruesome appearance of the fiend. Miss Martin, as Marguerite, showed very great power in rendering the tragic passages. The play was the best the Phoenix audiences have had the opportunity of seeing in long time.

The BiSbee Democrat says: It is re- ported that the Nogales bank robbers have been driven back into their old haunts in southern Codhise county. After the attempted train robbery on the A. & P. in New Mexico in which Cole Young was killed, a pursuit of the bandits was begun. They were hunted among the mountains of New Mexico and gradually worked their way back to Arizona. A day or two ago several officers from Socorro were brought with their horses by rail ito point near San Simon.
