 Business was suspended today al most entirely, hundred or more peo- pie going to Phoenix and the rest with some visitors from Mesa and Phoenix, attended the Catholic festivities. The dinner and other "doings" at Kings bury's hall were attended splendidly today. There were about 100 people who sat down to the tables, upon which there was spread a most luXu- rious repast. Almost everybody in this vicinity who did not go to PhOe- nix, was there, and all enjoyed them selves, there being a total absence of any formality or cause for regret. Rev. s. L. Guthrie and wife, Father Severin Westoff and visiting father from Phoenix, Dr. Scroggs and wife and Mayor Knight and wife, sat down at the same table and indulged in friendly repartee. After dinner sev- eral addresses were made. J. l.. B. Alexander presided and introduced Thomas Flannigan of Phoenix as the first speaker. He said that since Washington, who introduced American liberty to the nation, had sheathed his sword of freedom his prCclama- ton Of a liberated people has vibrated around the world and would con tinue to vibrate around the world as iong as a heart beat in the breast of @ patriotic American. Two little girls mere tots. Anna Forster and Barba Cuber, then rendered vocal solos, one of them playing the accompaniment on the piano. Samuel Brown then ad- dressed the audience in Spanish and won repeated applause. He said the United States had it's Washington and Mexico had it's Hidalgo. That because the Americans had assisted the Mexicans in celebrating their day of independence, so it was fitting that ] the Mexican people should join in paying homage to the great hero O. this country. He closed his eloquent peroration with ''Libre Washington! H. z. Zuch closed the addresses with portraiture of Washington's char acter. He said the heros greatness was due to his moral courage, and said that if he did swear at the battle | of Monmouth he swore like an indig- nant angel from heaven. He closed with an appeal to his hearers to be- come worthy of the Father of their Country" Little Frances Brown and her instructor, Professor Contreras, followed with an instrumental duet. During the afternoon the little girls, Anna Forster and Barba Cuber and Miss Carrie A. Forster, gave vocal and instrumental duets. The fishing pond was very amusing, Bachelor Pitkin hooking a little colored baby and a nursery bottle. The fancy work coun- ter was loaded with beautiful and use- full things. Rev. s. l.. Guthrie was seen coming away from it with a pretty inkstand. Voting on the most popular young lady is becoming very interesting, so also is the balloting for the most popular clergyman in Tempe. init far Margaret Hughes ana Miss Susanna Gallardo deserve to be complimented on it's efforts. To the committee on refreshments, Mrs. Sam Brown, Mrs James Carroll, Mrs. John Hodnett, Mrs. Maria Weller, Mrs. J. T. Priest and Mrs. T. Nicholas is due one of the finest and best regulated dinners given on this side in long time. The fair will continue until late this even ing.
 THE HOUSE THAT CANT BUILT. Chapter II.
 "A thing begun is half done" The house was now to rise as a monument of MT. Gant's enterprise. It was not ] his intention to build two-storv house, but on the contrary he thought to build a One-story house, leaving the gables open for thorough circula- 1 tion of air. His idea was to secure the greatest coolness possible Upon the convincing figures of Justice Mey- CTS, which showed that it would cost but little more, he decided to build it two stories, close the gables and leave the second story to be finished on the inside, at the option of certain future occupants.
 This decided, everything went off smoothly, the house rapidly assumed shape, the people Of the neighborhood watching it closely and making it the subject of conversation at the fireside during the long winter evenings, and the people on the ranch enjoying a continuous social during the house raising.
