Made to Fiji Banker Sternberg'S
 LOathSome Crime.
That the Millionaire Had Provided in His Will for the Poor Was Not Regarded as Mitigating Cir cumstance.

Berlin, Dec. 22.-Public attention was occupied wholly this week with crimes in high places. The sentence imposed on Sternberg, the millionaire banker of two and a half years impris- onment and five years deprivation of civil rights for crimes against moral ity, satisfies the public conscience and it is we'll merited retribution. Stern berg rapdly acquired a fortune esti- mated at 1S,000,000 marks by shady methods and maintained social rela- tions with high officials and military men for years, wholly disgusting his most loathsome crimes in the lowest Berlin life.
 He was related by marriage to high officials and was a free giver for char ity purposes. It was said in his de- fense before the court that he had made a will leaving to the Prussian government the bulk of his fortune. to establish an institution for insuring labOrers against loss of work The Sternberg case is working widespread ruin among others.

WHITE HOUSE ENLARGEMENT
American Institute of Architects De
 nounces the Proposed Plan.

Washington. Dec. 20.-The plans of
 the superintendent of public buildings
 and grounds for the enlargement of the
 White House were denounced in strong
 terms by the thirty-fourth annual con-
 yention of the American Institute of
 Architects, which began it's session
 here yesterday The representative ar
 chitects present protested strongly that
 it was a disgrace to American archi- lecture that the proposed new White
 House. which ought to be a monument
 to art. should be built after the plans of an unknown clerk in the office of Theodore A Bingham, superintendent
 of public buildings and grounds. w. S.
 Flames of St. Louis declared before the convention that a lobby of army en- gineer officers was at work trying to
 secure the contract for the architect uraI changes in the executive mansion. Resolutions were adopted requesting that before any alterations or additions are undertaken, congress call to it's aid an architect or architects, whose edu- cation and experience has been of such ! a character as will give assurance that such alterations or additions will neither mar the present beauties of the White House nor fail to obtain satis- factory results from the work under
 taken; and declaring that the institute will, if desired, nominate to the ap- pointing power, a man or men of repu- tation in whose skill! and judgment full confidence may be represented.
 were reelected for the ensuing year.
 Discussion of the plans for the inn prOvements of the city of Washington
 was resumed and a resolution was adopted for the appointment of a com
 mittee to devise the best possible pro- ject for enlarging the White House and to present the matter to congress. An | other resolution was adopted urging upon congress the creation of a con- mission to obtain the best general de- sign for locating and grouping the pub- lie buildings, ordering landscape and | statuary and extending the park sys- | tenn of Washington. The convention I also adopted a set of rules to govern
 competition in designs, which were re- ported from a special committee ap- i pointed last year.

PHYSICIANS IN CONFERENCE
Meeting of the Arizona Academy of
 Medicine and Surgery.

The regular quarterly meeting of the Arizona Academy of Medicine and Surgery was held last evening in the parlors on the second floor of Coffee AIS newly furnished place. The meet lngs of his society are a happy com bination of all that is to be desired by members of the medical fraternity. em- bracing the consideration of profes- sional questions, plenty of free discus sion. an exchange of ideas, lots of soci- ability-and followed by a good SUD- per. It is not called a banquet, for the reason that Q function of that nature is entirely too formal for the purposes of the society, though the absence of the name in no way prevents the serving of the best things to eat and drink, and in quantities % suit the demand of the educated and dignified professional gentlemen. The laity, too, has an i'm terest in gatherings of this kind for the health of the community is best pre- served when it's medical men are will ing and anxious to give each other the benefi- of their individual experience in the treatment of disease and in their observation of local conditions.
 Mrs. Half, representing the Phoenix hospital, by invitation, presented plan for the establishment of a training school for nurses at that institution. A committee consisting of Drs. Ward, Mcintyre, Palmer, Martin and Wylie was appointed to confer with the hos pital association and arrange a course of lectures for the nurses, as well as | 1 far as their province extends.
 The frs paper of the evening was on the subject of anaesthetics. It was prepared and read by Dr. Palmer, who covered the subject very fully. He dwelt at length on the effect of the diff ferent anaesthetics under different cir cumstances, indicating when, when net and how to use the various drugs. He also went into detail as to the symI Onls indicating the use of each drug and the proper course of proce- dure in case the use of an anaesthetic should prove dangerous.
 Dr. Martin read very interesting and instructive paper on the use ot the opthalmascope in the diagnosis ot general medical cases. The doctor urged the profession to give this feat ure of diagnosis wide application. He brought out many interesting points in the relation of the eye to the body in | sickness.
 | Both papers were freely commented upon and questions were asked on such points as were not made perfectly clear or were suggested in the general dis cussion of the papers.
 pr. Wylie presented a case of acute bowel obstruction, showing many in | teresting and unusual features. The doctor, after relating his case and ex- perience, deprecated the practice oi medical men in deferring surgical oper- , ations to the last moment. He blamed also the laity for their dread of opera

BEST MAN FROZEN.
But the Verity- Westerburg Nuptial
 Ceremony Went Through.

Babylon, L. I. Dec. 21.-It is not of
 ten that a wedding ceremony is held back on account of a plentitude of ice, but that is what happened at the we'd ding ceremony of Jesse Verify and Miss May Westerburg here yesterday. For over an hour the guests wondered at the absence of Capt. Verify, the bride groom's brother, and who was to be best man. He had gone off on a shoot ing trip in his yacht after ducks, and the waters of the Great South Bay closed in with a covering of ice, effec- tually preventing the best man from getting home in time for the ceremony. Capt. Verity put up a fight with it, but the ice was all powerful, and finally tffe Fire Island signal office sent a mes sage ashore for him that he was inn prisoned in the ice and Fire Island was the best he could do. The ceremony had been delayed over an hour when this message arrived, and finally anoth- CT friend of the bridgreem, Richard Raynor. was invited to officiate, and the ceremony proceeded, and Miss Westerburk became Mrs. Verify, and subsequently, left with her husband on a wedding trip to Niagara Falls.

STUDENTS ON A STRIKE
Orchard Lake Academy Cadets Try to Force Change in the Faculty.

Mir. Lyman Bennitt, son of Mir E. J. Bennt.t. returned severa! days ago from the military academy at Orchard Lake, Mich. where he has been taking a postgraduate course. Mr Bennitt may or may rot return to the ocadeyly. a csatingency dependent upon the re- suit of the action of the trustees Of the school upon the retention or dis missal of member of the faculty, who is obnoxious to the students. About a week before the holiday vacation about fifty of the students presented peti- tion to the trustees demanding tha . Col. Rogers. the superintendent of the institution. be obliged to refrain from further attempts at the instruction of the young academic idea. in it's shoot ing process. The petition embodied a set of resolutions to the effect. that in the opinion of the student mind Col. Rogers was an unfit parsonage to fur ther continue in his capacity as sup erintendent. The resolutions declared that the superintendent had been dere- llct in his duty in many ways, and as q disciplinarian was an absolute and un- mltigated failure; that he was unjust and partial in his treatment of the stu dents. and that in many ways the cadets could no longer afford to abide by his teaching. The concluding reso- luton was to the effect hat a failure to remove him would result in an inn mediate discOntinuation of school worl, on the part of the students. The triIs- tees were dilatory in action and the students were true to their word Over ffty of them left the school and all are bound in resolve to adhere closely to their decision.
 The academy is a preparatory school for the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor. Mir. Bennitt states that the foot ball team there this fall was the best in the history of the institution. winning eleven out of twelve games. and not being scored upon until the final game.

THE OLD LONE HIGHWAYMAN
He Ntw Frequently Operates in the
 State of Oregon.

Reno, New, Dec. 22.-A special to the Gazette from Lake View, Ore, says: "Last night the Lake View and Pais- ley stage was held up ncar the Odd Elbows cemetery by lone highway man, who demanded the letter mai sacks. After throwing eff the pouches the driver whipped up his horses and within ten minutes after the hold-uI Sheriff Dunlap and Marshal Wharton were at the scene.
 The sacks were found cut open and all the letters gone. Owing to the darkness of the night the robber could not be tracked. It is probable he got little for his nights work. Eleven days ago the Lake View and Ager stage was held up two miles from town and the mail rif1ed. The general opin- ion is that the highwayman lives in Lake View.

AN OLD TIME TRAVELER.
MT. E. K. Campbell Visits Phoenix
 After Twenty Years.

Mir. E. K. Campbell a travelling man of the old school, is paying Phoenix a visit after an absence of twenty years. He used to ride over the Arizona trails on horseback and by stage in the days when the territory was better known for its sure-shots, than for it's health giving climate, and his last visit here was marked by an episode in which he accumulated a quantity of buckshob beneath his skin and the scars he has carried since are sufficient proof of the interesting story told to a Republican reporter yesterday.
 MT. Campbell has travelled all over the west and in the early days he used to cover the southwest in the interest of A. P. Hotaling & Co.,, of San Fran cisco. In 1881 he left Silver City on his last trip, going to the little camp where Globe is now situated. From there he went to Florence. then to Phoenix and lastly, Prescott the capital of the ter ritory. There was nothing but stage roads and trails in those days and when he finished his business in Globe, he and another commercial man hired a private conveyance and driver to take them to Florence. The road as everyone familiar with that region knows, passes through a country. the very nature of which, suggests stage robbers.
 When but a few miles this side of Globe, the command to halt and throw up your hands," came from four men, who rose as by magic from the roadside. The other passenger called to the driver to stop, but MT. Campbell never liked a stage robber, anyhow, so he yelled to go on. The driver obeyed the last command and put the lash to the team. A loud report followed and Mir. Campbell felt a sort of stunning

HYPNoT1zED FOR AN OPERATION
Mrs. Stewart Was Forty-two Minutes
 On Surgeons Table.

Chicago, Dec. 2O-For forty-two min utes Mrs. M. F. Stewart lay in a hyp- notic state yesterday on the operating table in a hospital in Ewing place, and without experiencing a pain was con- scious that an operation was being performed upon her. She was placed on the table at S:15 o'clock, and within three minutes she was in a hypnotic state. Her pulse ran from 72 up to IA, and her temperature was raised and lowered. Insensible to pain she showed her sensibi.ity to heat and cold. The moment she felt the hot water touch her body she complained that it was too hot. Such proved to be the case.
 After the operation Mrs. Stewart tried to describe her feelings. She said sine felt the hypnotic influence come over her and the fear that she would suffer pass away. As she saw the knife cut into her flesh she said there was a peculiar sensation, not unlike a tick ling feeling. What seemed most strange to her was the sewing with the pecul- iarly shaped needle. She felt it pierce her flesh and the stitches being made, but could not understand why that had to be. She tried to reason it out, but could not keep her mind On it long enough to come to any conclusion.
 Among the physicians who attended the operation were Dr. J. Gartenstein of Philadelphia. The operation was performed by Dr. H. L. Mahin. The operation was an abdominal one.

a DEMOCRATIC LOVE FEAST
The Juveniles and Jsffsrsoniars Get
 ting Together.

The democrats of Phoenix, the juve- niles and the Jeffersonians are trying 10 get up love feast. The promoters care nothing for the expense. The main source of worriment is the at tendance. Juveniles and Jeffersonians have hitherto coalesced like oil and water. Those who heard of the pro- posed movement wondered how 1t ever got started. Every democrat in Phoenix IS either a Juvenile or a Jeffersonian and it was pOpularly believed that no Jeffersonian and Juvenile could ever meet and talk about even the weather without a violent difference of opinion. How any two of them could get to talking about a love feast was there fore incomprehensible. It transpired, though, that the promoters were Sam F. Webb and Al Arthur, who, by a strange chance have been thrown to- gether in the recorders office. That as- sociation may be the means of ulti- mately welding the two democratic factions. MT. Arthur made the as founding discovery that MT Webb had no horns and it was revealed to NIT. Webb that Mir. Arthur was not hoofed. Each found some beautiful character istics in the other and to neither did the other at last appear wholly hate ful. Both being established in office for the next two years (and office is all that ever divided the Juveniles and Jefferscnians), 1t was not so hard for them to get together. They have been talking this love feast up In their re- spective factions, but no conclusion has yet been reached. Some of the more moderate of both said the feast might be pulled off on Jackson's birth day, for that Is a time when democrats of all shades can get together. But that anniversary is so near that th/ feast cannot be gotten Webb and Arthur a

TELEPHONING WITHOUT WIRES.
System Successfully Used Across the
 Mississippi at Minnea polis

Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 22.-Tele- phoning without wires was accOmp- lfshed here today by, transmitting the voice a distance of 1000 feet cross the Mississippi. The experiments Were con- ducted by James Kelsey, who made the recent successful test across Powder horn Lake.
 Conditions were not favorable owing to the nearness of two elecl-ric rail- ways, which caused the meter to reg ister half a volt when the apparatus was not in use. Weather conditions were also bad and toward the close of the test the transmitters on both ends became frozen, making them useless.
 Before this happened the sound was clearly transmitted with but five volts and the speaker's words could be un- derstood. The test was successfully made up to twenty volts. proving the correctness of the method.
