The beautiful residence of Mrs.
Julia Alexander, widow of the late
Richard A. Alexander, on South
George street, in this place, was par
TALLY destroyed by fire at IL O'Clock
Christmas eve. The fire started in
the attic and was caused by defec-
tive flue. The upper story of the
house was burned and the lower part
badly damaged. A greater part OF
the furniture was saved, but badly
damaged. The loss is estimated al
several thousand dollars, with insur-
almost sufficient to cover it.

A Strange Advertisement.

When thinking what to write for
this advertisement after the holidays,
it occurred to us that the next impor-
tant thing for US to do, was to ask
everybody who had accounts with
us to come and pay. We have
enough tickets on our file, ranging
from five cents up, that if collected
would pay our business expenses for
the next three months. Now we
mean this-please call and pay what
you owe. T.. n. BEARD.

THE PROJECTosCoPE.

On Monday evening at the opesa house there will appear for the first time in this city Ed1son's latest and greatest invention, the projsctoscope. This is an improved magnascope. The theater goers of Phoenix will remem- Der with pleasure the appearance of that wonderful machine here last summer and will understand what a great machine the projectoscope must be to be an improvement over it. All the scenes to be shown here are new and exceptionally fine, and have never been shown here. The entertainment lasts over two hours with no inter mission, except the time taken in changing the films, which is about a minute and a half between each set. The prices set for this wonderful en- tertainment is the lowest ever set for similar entertainment, the man. agement believing in the principle that a show goes better with a big house at small prices than a small house at big prices. Any reserved seat in the house 35 cents. Sale opens at Keefer's at g a. m Monday. Secure your seats early, as the projectoscope packs the house everywhere.

AMONG THE SPORTSMEN.

Aitken, Holmes, Graham, ST., and out all right and true to their word they gave a good account of them selves, bringing in 1S0 as a result of one days hunt.
 Lincoln Fowler and a friend put in Wednesday afternoon shooting quail and buying cattle, not that the two go together, but in this instance the break was enjoyable, judging from reports. Fowler says he would not have missed the occasion for any thing, particularly on account of the information he received in regard to the method of pulling out gopher holes, which he says, will be of great benefit to him on his ranch.
 The American Field and the Sport man Review have good deal to say about Gilbert's victory over Elliot on the Kansas City cup event. There seems to be great deal of rejoic- ing because Gilbert won on Elliot's own ground, on birds picked by Elliot and at the time Elliot set for the match. Elliot has challenged Gilbert for return match, and Gilbert has CudliSu9Su IOI luS DupOlIL championship trophy. I sincerely hope that Gilbert wins them both. There was no regular practice of the Phoenix club on Sunday. Every one wanted to have try at the quail. On Wednesday at the regular practice twenty-five blue rocks, Aiken IS, Holmes 19, Chubb 21. Following reg ular practice Aitken shot at 10, breaking 8, Holmes at 15, breaking | 12, Chubb at 25, breaking IS. A large | attendance is expected today and sev- eral of the boys promise to bring their eagle eye with them, particu- ! larly for the sweepstakes that follow the regular practice.
 According to the American Field Mrs. W. P. Shattuck of the Minneap- olis gun club on Oct. scored 55 tar ! gets straight at known and unknown i angles, and missed only four out of 1 80. This is remarkable perform ance for a woman shooter, and if the
 improvement in her shooting which
 she has been making this season is
 continued, she will be able before
 the end of another season to shoot
 along with Gilbert, He.Aes, Powers Grimm, Parmelee and the other ex-
 perts of the country and divide hon
 ors with them. Mrs. Shattuck's score
 of 55 is, I believe, the best evel

 I see by the Los Angeles Times that a certain party at Santa Barbara succeeded in killing tor rather slaugh- tering) fifteen quail at one shot. I cannot understand why any person, who claims to have an atom of sports man blood in his veins can do any thing of this kind and have the nerve to tell of it. Any one can, no doubt, get the job of killing chickens with an ax in some of our larger markets if they would be willing to do it for nothing, and if the inclination in them is simply to kill l cannot see where the difference comes in between killing tame chickens with an ax and killing punched quail on the ground with shot gun. My idea of a sports man is man who Is willing to give the game fair chance to escape and depend entirely on his skill as a shot to bag 1t. No skill is shown in if teen quail to shot as any person can hit a still object with a shoe gun if he is within shooting distance, and in case of a flock of quail is h- able to kill some or all of them. The day is gone by, when a shooter can boast of the amount of game he has procured in a hunt, without givic g a satisfactory explanation as to how he obtained it. Where any pleasure can possible come in, in pot shooting or in the recount of the feat after, ward I ann at loss to say in fact I should think any Che would be so ashamed Of it that he would take measures to conceal the fact, instead of telling of it. It is time that our Arizona quail are very hard to force to cover, but be it so, Is it not better, more manly, more sports manlike to say that lots of birds were encountered but few took to cover and consequently your bag is small? I consider it no disgrace to come in with but few birds if I know that my friends are aware that all l get are on the wing and have had all reasonable chance to escape before being brought down, as 1t shows skill-not simply a desire to kill la fowl that has no means of pro- tection except by flight. It has been pleasure to me since I have been in Arizona to state that all the gentle men that I have hunted with have been sportsmen in every sense of the word and I hope that my good luck will follow me in this respect
