Solomonville Bulletin: A well reg ulated prize-fght we do not believe would offend the moral tone of. Arizona or degrade to any perceptible extent the average Arizonan who witnessed it, still Governor Hughes has seized on the merest possibility to emphasize his purely moral nature by ordering out the Arizona National Guards to pre- vent the invasion Of the territory by Dan Stuart and his unequaled congress of muscular wonders.
 It is hard to understand how any sane man could be led to believe that

CROSSING THE RESERVATION.
The Apache Made an Arbiter in the
 Progress of Arizona

Solomonville Bulletin: The action
 of the government in giving to the Apaches the right of saying whether or not the railroad shall cross the White Mountain reservation gives the Indian and his white allies a chance to arbitrarily fix any price they may see fit, which is of course, an outrage on Arizona. The railroad does not touch but two Indian farms on the res- ervation, and if their land was priced at the highest figure paid for right of way across land in this valley, the damage would not amount to s5,OOO all told. If the agent at San Carlos would do that which would be a lasting ben eft to the Apache Indians he would call them together and advise them to give their consent for the building of this road, receiving fair valuation for the cultivated land actually damaged.

Dan Stuart intended to bring his car nival of wonders to Arizona. Why should he travel 200 miles through New Mexico to fight on Arizona soil when there is both a federal and ter ritorial law in Arizona making prize fighting a penitentiary offense, while in New Mexico there is no territorial statute against an exhibition of mus cular development.
 Evidently the governor has been buncoed, but he should have thought twice before he ordered his militia to Bowie station.

TAKING NO CHANGES.

Lordsburg Liberal: Governor Hughes is taking no chances on the Maher- Fitzsimmons fight. He has put the First regiment of the Arizona National Guard under arms and ordered the Tucson company to the territorial line supplied with twenty rounds Of ammu- milton and instructions to welcome the prize-fighters with bloody graves The governor is making what is known as beautiful grand stand play"

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CONCERT.

Far and away the finest musical event
of this season was The Rivarde concert, and
again are our citizens indebted to the
Young Mems Christian Association for
the privilege, too rarely enjoyed, of listen
ing to masters in their art Rivarde is a
study. Without the calm, almost stolid
repose of Urso; without the strength and
vigor of Wilhelm, the magnificent; with
none of the statelness of the courtly Allen,
or the articles of the genial Remenyi,
Rivarde is yet a consummate artist and
virtuoso. No superior, perhaps, has ever
visited our town and his audience, although
much less than it should have been in
numbers, was most appreciative and dis
eliminating.
OF the pianist, NJ. Lachaume, nothing
but the highest praise can be spoken. In
his special numbers he displayed his won
derful technique and perfect mastery OF
the instrument, and was warmly received.
Not every pianist can secure an encore on
Chopin, but il was heartily given last even
ing, and with good reason, for his inter-
probation was sympathetic and his render
ing masterful.
The Russian and Hungarian Airs were
given all their weirdness and passing
sweetness under the skilled fingers of Mr..
Rivarde. Never has there been more
soulful playing, more voice-like tones,
more bewitching crispnefs than in some
of his numbers. 1t i'll BELTS us to take
the role of the critic; for those who were
there it is to the farthest degree uDneces
sary and to the absentee 1t is of little mo
ment.
Not again in years, perhaps, may the
opportunity be enjoyed here of listening
TO such artists. Brattleboro, with It's
boosted culture and musical discrimina
ton, but poorly sustains the efforts that
this organization has made to put before
the public the highest in musical and lit
erary ability, with the consequent benefit:
in the education of the community.
1t is to be regretted, now that we have
building so well adapted TO chamber
| concerts, that the certain loss to any ont
having the temerity to bring artists of thi:
stamp here prcludes, to a very large de
gree, any local management from under
taking it. How would it do for some o.
our large hearted citizens TO stand behinC
such a concert once a year with the under
standing that financially it cannot be a sue
cess? The benefits are not fleeing like tn,
effect of so many entertainments that fine
surprising support.

A WOMEN,S GLUE.
An Informal Meeting to Discuss the
Subject Called for March ~.

Several Brattleboro women have recent
ly become interested in the subject of
women's clubs and the desire has been
expressed that this town might soon have
such an organization. In this connection
attention is called to an article in the
Review of Reviews, which treats interest
ingly and comprehensively the Women's
club movement. Judging from statistics
there given it would appear that the
Eastern states are not as wide awake to
the advantages of women's clubs as the
Central and Western states. The General
Federation of Women's Clubs was formed
in 1890, but already is an organization
numbering 4j4 clubs. The national body
includes II state federations composed of
city clubs whose membership numbers
many hundreds, as well as the small clubs
of 30 or more members. In this large
number of clubs, Vermont is reported as
having but one women's club and no state
federation.
Much of the local interest in the move
ment has been aroused by Mrs. l.. d. Tenn
pie, who before coming to Brattleboro was
an active member of one of the oldest and
yet most wideawake clubs in the Mich
| igan state federation. Learning of the
proposed organization of such a club a
member of The Phoenix staff obtained
some information regarding the aims and
work of these clubs from Mrs. Temple.
| She says the women of the state must be
missing great deal by not being closely
connected with the movement through the
| federations-bOth state and national, as
| these were formed to promote the compar-
ison of methods of work, to establish a
standard and TO enlarge and quicken the
| intellectual AMI social life" Of the club
members. Mrs. Temple says the club
of which she was a member in Lansing
had been organized u years, was an in.
corporated body and owned its own clut
house, and that since coming east she has
missed the pleasure and profit of such a
club exceedingly and she sincerely hope;
a Women's club may be organized here
knowing how much there is to be gained
by broad undenominational club life Of
this kind, in which any woman of gooC
moral character is eligible TO membership
if she is willing to do the work and able
to meet the requirements. Mrs. Temple
has consented, at the request of those in
terested, TO call an informal meeting to b'
held on the last Friday afternoon in March
at which the feasibility of organizing a
club may be freely discussed. The place
of meeting will be announced later

of the two young men who wrote the third prize

more than score Of years connected with the

Young Taylor was educated in the public schools

studied law for a short time at Greenfield, Mass,
and while there published a spicy little paper

peier where he remained several years, being
employed first on the Argus and later on
on the Watchman. He is now musical critic and
one Of the editorial writer's OF the Manchester,
n. H., Union, and his marriage 10 a young
man from Providence, R. l., was announced only
a few weeks ago. Taylor has written many
sketches and stories for magazines and city
papers, but the prize story is his first lengthy
work of fiction. Tpylor says that his only am
bition is TO find a market for a comic opera
libretto on which he has spent much time and
thought and which he insists is the best tn ing
that has been done since The Mkado."
Mr.. Thots is SO, and a native of Pownal, Me

and founded the Middetown, Conn, Daily Herald
At the present time he holds the position of man
aging editor of the Manchester Union. Under

April, and the contest closed last fall 1851 works
of fiction being received.

ELECTRIC ROAD TIED UP.
You never miss the 'lectrics
I'LL they dOn't 90 by.

The above was in the minds of many as
they waited for the trolley cars Monday
morning The first car from West Brat
tleboro came down all right, but on Pine
street the power left it and the line was
tied up until l r. Nj. The cause was the
breaking of the eccentric rod on the en-
CINE at the power house. From 5 TO
o'clock the railroad company ran carriages
over the line on a half-hour schedule, a
conductor with tin horn going with each
carriage. 1t took most of the morning
for the would-be travellers to ''catch on"
to the fact that they could take a ride in
one of the hacks for only five cents, and
the conveyancss were not over-crowded at
any time, though about 100 fares were Ia
ken if they were all 'rung in" In con-
nection with the break Manager Henkel
says that several telephone lines running
near the trolley wire, which are usually
NOISY" were 'still as death on Monday
morning.

LONGUEIL's BRAVERY.
A Former BrsttIeboro BOY Burned In
His Attempts TO save n Woman and
Her Daughter.

His Attempts TO save n Woman and
Her Daughter.
Harriet Rose 50, wife of John c. Rose
a drummer in the United States Military
Academy band at West Point, n. y, was
burned to death one night last week as
the result of trying TO save the life of her
13-year-old daughter, Hattie. The girl
was playing cards with her two younger
brothers when a lamp was accidentally
overturned, and her clothes caught fire.
Mrs. Rose caught her daughter in the hall
and attempted to subdue the flames, but
her own clothing was instantly in a blaze.
Mrs. Rose and her daughter ran into the
kitchen of John r. Longueil, where Mrs.
Longueil and her baby were sitting. Mrs.
Longuel tried unsuccessfully to throw
something over Mrs. Rose. Mr.. Longueil
heard the screams, and rushing out into
the hall seized the daughter, threw her
down and put the fire out with his hands,
The girl begged that he save her mother.
Longueil ran downstairs and found fire
raging in the kitchen of the Rose family.
Mrs. Rose had run outdoor, but she came
back screaming just as Longueil attempted
to extinguish the blaze in the kitchen.
Mrs. Rose was afire from head to foot, and
the flames were about her face Lon
gueil first smothered the flames about her
head with a shawl, then threw her down
and ripped up the carpet in the kitchen
and with this put out the flames on her
body. Mr.. Rose came in at this time, but
his wife was so horribly burned that he did
not recognize her. Longueil then ran for
the physicians, who did all they could to
relieve Mrs. Roses sufferings, but she died
in few hours The daughters right arm
was badly burned and Longueil was burned
| about the hands and arms. Longuel is a
son of j. 7. Longuei of this village. The
| young man was formerly a member of the
| First Regiment band but he left Brattle-
! boro about seven years ago and has since
been in the government service as a musi-
] clan

but the boys shake their heads and say
that the next performance will be next

BOYS BATTALION.

The most feasible time for the boys
battalion exhibition drill is the week be-
ginning April 6, and the place the ar
mory. The various companies are now
working with much spirit in preparation.
A new feature is to be the equipment of
the young ladies with rifles of the latest
make, thus increasing by example Uncle
Sans fighting force in the country by
about 100000. A grim spirit of mill
tarism is settling down over the commu-
nifty, which, however, large receipts at the
exhibition will tend to relieve. Later in
April field-day is planned for, for some of
the boys; and better showing than last
years is expected for Decoration day, as
the boys, though not quite so many in
number, drill better. Out door work is
hoped for early next month.
