SOME DINNER EXPERIENCES.
Hospitality MARRIED by Lack of
ErnnISueNA

From the New York Tribune.
"What should be done IN the case OF
anything going wrong?" was a mooted
question al a woman's luncheon the other
day. To act as If nothing was amiss IN
ease Of any obvious blunder, and offer no
explanation for enforced waits. cold en-
trees and other familiar contretemps, was
the oid-fashioned idea Of correct deport-
ment. Mistress of herself though china
fall,' was the creed that was taught TO
embryo nousekeepers as rule OF con-
duct. This, however, on the above occa-
sion was pronounced stilted and unnlt-
ural and really more uncomfortable for
the guest than If any chance and unto
ward happening was openly commented
upon and made light of.
For Instance said one Of the advo-
Gates Of this latter theory. Il dined at n
house the other evening where / happened

Nor, was upset. or course, this is mis-
fortune that might happen TO any one,
and u Mr.. and Mrs A. had Just laugh
ed of the whole thing and had sent into
caterers for few hot entrees no one
would have minded in the least. Instead
of this, however, nothing whatever was
said, and the dinner was dragged on 10
an intermlnable length, with any number
OF eXecrably cooked dishes. which were
really uneatable. Mr. A. w.o had
taken me IN. grew gloomler and gloomier,

the food, and all this might have been
avoided by a little matter-of-fact FRANK
ness, which would have inspired the good
nature of every one"
II quite agree with YOU observed an
other lady who was present. IF, as you
say, people would only be frank about such
matters 10 would be far better for their

BICYCLE NOTES.
Wheelmen Waking Up With the
 Warmer Weather.

Bicycle news is rather SOW, but as the racing season draws near it finds some of the local riders training for fame or mud as 1t will be in the end.
 Sleator goes to California to ride this year. He may ride a Thistle. He is training little, but is very fat.
 Phoenix has been visited by all the best wheel companies in the west, but the same old standard wheels will lead in '96
 Pinney & Robinson are making a big stand for their share of business for '96. Wm. Robinson and Harry Pinney are in the south rustling. w. l.. Pinney is in Prescott on the same business.
 J. s. Griffin has a. '96 wheel for S55 that is taking quite stand in the city. With his '96 Rambler he ex- poets to seel as many as he did last year.
 H.. A. Diehl is rustling Columbias and Hartfords. W. Getz is rustling different makes too numerous to men tion. E. L. Andrews handles several different makes.
 Harry Brown and Al Hendrix will leave in a few days on a trip through the United States advertising the Brown Du-sock. Their mount will be a Pattee tandem. The boys are both good rustlers and there is no doubt they will make the trip very profit able.
 Tucson will give a national meet about May 1. Phoenix wants to get in on time.
 Walter Foster, the rustling Rambler man of San Francisco, who holds the responsible position of manager for H. B. Varney, was in town last week, MT. Foster is one of the most gentle manly travelling bicycle men that ever visited Phoenix. He holds the record for one-third mile, and is no doubt as fast a man as there is in the west. He will do some racing in the latter part of the season.
 Carl McStay of Los Angeles, Victor branch, will put in an agency here but as yet no agent has been seen.
 Tempe and Mesa have a boom on big business.

GRAHAM COUNTY COAL.
Still Boring in the Vicinity of Sol
 omonville.

Solomonvilie Bulletin: The Pacific Improvement company continues the work of sinking the diamond drill above Solomonville in search of coal, which MT. Reynolds, the gentleman in charge, is confident underlies this val ley. This work has been slow owing to a combination of unfavorable con- ditions. The boulder formation has given much trouble and several holes had to be abandoned. Latterly many of the difficulties have been overcome and the work of sinking is now going forward quite satisfactorily. A depth of about 400 feet has been reached, but the sediment formation still continues. Until this sediment formation has been passed of course nothing has been demonstrated. The work continues steadily and 1t is understood will not be abandoned until depth of 1,50O feet has been reached.

 Expressions of regret at the end of the great orator are many and from every portion of the Union. To their number the following requiem poem has been contributed by an Arizona lassie of IA years, Miss Grace M. For syth, of Glendale:

MORE KIRKLAND TROUBLE.
Gave Deeds for Tax Titles but Did Not
 Turn in the Cash Received.

Bit by bit further discrepancies" are being uncovered in the administra- tion of E. B. Kirkland, late clerk of the board of supervisors of Maricopa county. None of them are of very great magnitude, yet the sum total has come to be very considerable. The latest, as outlined yesterday by Clerk Sheridan, lay in the practice of the board of supervisors of selling lands held by the county for taxes back to the original owners. The moneys re- ceived in the transaction should, of course been handed over to the county treasurer as soon as the deed is signed by the chairman of the board and clerk, but it appears that this was not always done The clerk had the hand ling of the funds, and in at least nine instances the money went not unto the county treasurer.
 The instances tabulated to date are upon deeds delivered ito the following named purchasers in the sums set op- posite their names: Maricopa Loan and Trust company, $47.63; Amanda L. Porter, $1392; Hartford Banking com pany, $137; Lloyd B. Christy, $1O; William Chrfsty, $1O; Mary c. R. Towle, $10S0; M. Wormser, s2122; Henry Rixen, $17; R. H. Collins, $12.50. The sum total of these amounts col leoted and not reported by Kirkland aggregates $280.15.
