prised carriage rides, during Sunday afternoon and Monday to various points of interest in the locality, in cluding a visit to the Indian school. In return compliment Superintendent Harwood Hall yesterday sent to Phoe- nix, for it's first appearance in public, the school band, which occupied the van in an afternoon procession of the tribes of Islam.
 The procession comprising about 150 members and novitiates of the or der, marched up Washington street, countermarching to the hall and then to the hotel. As camels are scarce, burros, with prospector's accouter- ments were substituted, the process sion in all making decided impress ion upon the populace. Also upon the programme was an attendance of the visitors in a body upon the services of the Episcopal church Sunday evening.
 The "work" of the excursion, and a very joyful sort of occupation it is un- derstood to be, began at last night. IA temporary organization of the new temple was formed and then about forty candidates, all necessarily Knights Templar or Scottish Rite Masons, were led across the burning desert sands unto the cooling waters of the Arabian oasis Later the initiates, when recovered, will join the older members of the order in the selection of the requisite permanent officers.
 Then came the banquet, spread in the adjoining banquet hall The toasts y1d f1I11 of cheer, and not till the gray of dawn be came visible did the pilgrims seek their couches.
 The members of the caravan leave this morning on the regular 7:30 train of the Santa Fe for the north, and for home without stop.
 The order that thus has been instj- tuted in Arizona is one of antiquity and of renOWn. It is Arabic in origin, instituted in the year 25 of the Mo hammedan hegira, GA. D. 656) at Mecca, by Kalif Ace, a cousin german and son-in-law of the prophet. It's purposes, as shown in ancient writ, were to act as a sort of inquisition or vigilance committee, to dispense jus tice and execute punishment upon CluullndlS WuO SSCdpSu CnGll Just ouCS through tardiness of the courts and also to promote religious toleration. Latter.y, in America, though in no sense part of Masonry, it has been termed 'the social side of Masonry, , since the prerequisite to membership consists in exaltation in the degrees of the Masonic order It is convivial and social, yet has at it's foundation the rarest principle Of benevolence.
 Its first appearance among the Frankish nations was in London in 1860, when the Arabic ritual was translated Billy" Florence, the actor, brought its mysteries with him to America in 1875, and in December of that year Mecca temple was insti- tuted in New York city. In 1855 there l were but 300 members. Since that time, though the number of temples has been restricted, the order has en- joyed a wonderful growth, now num- bering fully 45,0OO members. The
 iftieth member of Mecca temple, Charles Lansing, of New York, is now in Phoenix, Dr. C. D. Hoag, now at the Ford, being also member of early initiation. On the Pacific coast the. oldest mem fber is none other than the thrice illus trious imperial potentate himself, who i brought the ritual west to San Fran cisco.

nnlr mnddon Not 4 Jonah.

One OF the most remarkable happen
ings for some time is the fact that Billy
Madden-who doesn't remember Billy
from the Mltchell-Sulllvan days and
several things in between?-was abso-
lutely in Steve O'Donnells corner when
he whipped Paddy Slavin. Now since
the halcyon days referred to above
the days of Sullivan and Mitchell
Madden has not till this instance, 30
far as any records show, been In win
ming corner. His was most persistent
case of hoodoo. He ran Peter Maher
against Bob Fitsimmons at New Or
leans; Joe Goddard against Denver
Smith at New Orleans; Joe McAuline
against Paddy Slavin in England, ana
did plenty more as bad. Mixing It
with O Jonah has been very properly
accounted the most direful thing In
the lexicon Of the gentleman Of sport,
and many in Mr.. Madden's predica-
ment had quit years ago. But Mr.
Madden never did; he never even
wavered, and now he is before US bright
and CHEEKY as in the days gone by. In
some future time, when Billy may have
a monument erected to his memory, l
suggest the simple lines: After ten
years he trun down hoodoo'

Seven Ages Of Art.

The seven ages Of man have often
enough been wittily summed up,and the
seven ages of certain artists may also
be epitomized. First, he sees and feels
the beauty of the world; second he
yearns to express his sense of the mir
acle; third, he decides to be the great
est artist the world ever saw; fourth,
he paints subject great enough to
give him some room to em5ody his
sense OF all he sees and feels; fifth, he
Is surprised at the lack OF appreciation
among his contemporaries; sixth he de-
cides to take simple subject and try
TO get admitted to the exhibitions;
seventh, he is contented to copy, nc
matter how badly, and is devoutly glad
that, although full vision is denied to
him it has been vouchsafed to the
great masters. -Lippincott's.

Uorbett and sharkey.

Tho articles OF agreement signed last
June by Jim Corbett and Tom Sharkey
in San Francisco, in regard to their
contemplated championship encounter,
calls for finish, but the recent fight
talk coming from Frisco, I note, is con-
sidering a ten-round go between them
for the heavyweight championship"
Up to this writing, however, sharkey
has not been heard from, and 1t Is prob
able he will not agree to modify the
original finish into such a small num-
Der OF rounds. But could there be q
bona-flde championship contest, limited
by ten rounds? 1t would be quite a
comedown, to say the least, and II
would probably be relegated to dis
tinct class Of It's own, specified as ten
round championship contest, the win
ner being dubbed the ten-round heavy
weight champion. It may be consid-
cred II pugilism ever falls into this rut
there will be limit-round champion
ships, from one round up to hundred
or more, and herein there may be pos
sibly a solution Of division OF the
spells among the various heavies now
claiming the title. Let each claim his
special number Of rounds, at which
Notch he feels he can lick anybody, and
stay to 1t consistently in his newspaper
talk.
Regarding Corbett and Sharkey, the
supervisors Of San Francisco have al
ready granted the boxers permit To
meet for ten rounds there when they
get ready. / advise the sports Of that
country to get two or three other ten
round permits, while they are at 1t, and
sew them together for this special oc"
caslon. The nativity Of so many gold
en- sons Of the arena should not be ths
first to want to knock finish institutions
down to ten rounds.

irving and HIs wife.

One explanation Of Sir Henry Irv-
ing's long separation from his wife is
this: Irving married when he was
very young and very poor. He was a
Junior member Of travelling company,
and 1t was not until his marriage knot
had been firmly tied that he discovered
how averse to the stage his wife was.
She never lost an opportunity to run
down the profession, and she made a
practice Of telling her husband that he
would better turn to some other pro-
fesslon before 1t was too late, for he
could never make an actor. This sort
of thing lasted for several years, and
finally the Irvings agreed to live apart.
John Toole's brother, great chum Of
Irving, meanwhile had tried to bring
husband and wife together again. The
reconciliation took place on the day OF
the first performance Of "The Bells"
Mrs. Irving magnanimously agreed to

Is not as free as he thinks, as a wit
ness Of the murder he committed still
lives, and justice is satisfied at the end.
Without doubt, 1.-THE Heart Of Chica-
go" Is the best piece Mr.. Carter has
contributed to the stage. The story,
even If little complicated, is told in
an interesting and intelligent manner,
and Is we'll connected after the first act.
The situations and climaxes are
brought about in natural way, and
aroused the enthusiasm Of yesterdays
crowds. In the line Of scenic and me-
chanical effects the author has certain
ly done himself proud, the railway er-
feet alone emitting him to great credit,
This is something never before intro
duced on a stage. At first the locomo-
tive headlight is seen in the far dis
lance In the background. 1t gradually
increases In size as the train ap-
proaches. This continues until the en-
CINE is stopped at the footlights putting
and full of action. This one effect alone
is, 1t is believed, sufficient to insure
the success Of the piece. The scenery
is all good and we'll made, the view
from the roof Of the Masonic Temple
and the reproduction OF the space bet
tween the city and county buildings,
looking toward Washington street being
most realistic. The cast iscapable. There
were a few bitches incidental to first
production, but they did not interfere
with the interest Of the spectators, who
applauded from first to last. 1t was
the biggest Sunday Of the season at the
Lincoln. and there was an excuse for
the happiness of Manager Hutton and
Mr.. Carter. Chicago Record.

Whita md Dixon.

The draw Tommy White made with
George Dixon OF twenty rounds in New
York, In which the westefler showed
something better than even-that Is,
showed he should have won had 1t
progressed to flnish-has set the CHI
cago boys friends wild over him. II
Tommy meets Dixon again, particu-
larly II 1t be to o finish, there Is a
ION Of money in Chicago to back his
chances. At their meeting Friday
night they were Offering to 1 on Dix
On and prophetic scrlbes of the east
pang doleful chimes for the westerner.
Dixon'e admirers will offer dlsserta-
lions upon the subject Of his going
back, not considering, perhaps, how 1t
was that the colored champion could
stay at a rushing clip for the best part
Df an hour, pace at which the Chi
cagoan met him halfway at all times
Possibly Dixon may not be quite as
good as he has been, but there will be
no use trying to make a mountain out
Of a molehill. He might have been q
degree or so better on Friday night,
and still not have had 1t in him to do
anything with Tommy. 1t is very safe
to say, all things considered, that Tom
my White has been Of late coming
along much faster than the other has
been taking an opposite course, and for
some time out this way the Chicago
representative has been recognized the
best material In the boxing world to
stack against the colored wonder II
Tommy retains as level a head as he
has within the past year there is no
reason why he should not be the next
featherwelght champion. The little
Chicagoan's position toward the feath-
Drweight championship and some other
Rspirants for the title will be gone
over in this column at another time.

found 1t in a normal condition. "The
Heart of Chicago" Is the latest play
from the pen Of Lincoln j. Carter, and
1t began It's pulsations on Sunday. The
piece Is, like Mr.. Carters others, melo-
dramatic in tone, and is, to a certain
extent, original in plot and scenic en-
Enlistment, illustrative of the fact that
the author has not lost his cunning in
devislng novel and striking mechanical
effects, and that he is one Of the best
stage producers in this country. The
play opens with dissolution Of a firm
and quarrel between the members on
the night Of the great fire. AS the fire
began on Sunday night, 1t is not ex-
planned why the firm was doing bust
ness, but 1t affords an opportunity for
the introduction of three very effective
and realistic views of that memorable
night in October, 1871. Twenty-one
years are supposed to elapse between
the first and the succeeding acts. The
guilty partner, who rests in the belief
that the fire had wiped out all evil
dences Of his crime, has become a
wealthy and influential citizen. But he

once and to witness her husbands per-
Romance. 1t was one Of the greatest
triumphs ever scored in London thea
ter. 1t made Irving in night. Direct
ly after the performance, flushed and
elated by his triumph, Irving hurried
to his wifes rooms. She was sitting
up waiting for him, Well he exclaim-
ed, with the enthusiaswof a school boy,
what did you think Of me tonight?
What did think?' remarked his wife,
in whitening tone. I thought I had
never seen you act SO foolish before.

on his heel and left the house. That

stated that one Of the officials tried
to get evidence of such state OF ar
fairs from the sporting editors, 1t may
be guessed with what gravity the
whole thing was considered. The prln-
Cipale were arrested. At the same time

ter were boxing under the protection

comparative merits Of the case about
twenty-four hours, when they conclud-
ed to run Fltz and his proposed Apo
nent down, which seems to Indicate
that they have drawn a well-deiined
distinction. The kangaroo man claims
he is not guilty, as he had not actu-
ally signed any contract; nevertheless,
he challenged Corbett at a hotel the
other day, showing plainly enough his
Intent. That far he is guilty. But the
question probably Is: Were he and
Jim speaking Of prize fighting or OF
boxing in some incorporated club? If
the New York officials can prove that
the men had contemplated fighting
with fve-ounce gloves some place OUT
side the state instead Of boxing with
Ave-ounce gloves within some Of the
numerous clubs Of the state 1t may go
hard with them. Let them make an
example Of them, If they be found
