THE GRANDEUR OF NEXT WEEK
The Royal Reception - The Elks
 Carnival.

All the costumes for the queens court and the queens royal robes and other paraphernalia arrived yesterday from San Francisco. It has all been made. new for the occasion and is prob ably the most elaborate beautiful and costly set of court costumes ever pro- vided in the southwest for similar functions. The queens coronation gown is of White brocaded silk, with velvet robes and genuine ermine cape to cover her shoulders The gown is trimmed with pearls and the girdle crown and scepter are jeweled magnif- 1cently. For the park and the many pageants the queen will wear a beauti- fully lowered gown of different oolors from her coronation robe.
 Mrs. Webster Street and her commit tee of ladies are determined to make the night of the queens reception at the Adams Hotel a social function of the highest crder, and court etiquette will prevail. as far as possible, and the cere- monials will be dainty and very inter- esting
 The members of the executive com mittee of the carnival, the governor and his staff, the heads of the different commercial organizations and the diff ferent ladies and gentlemen of the city will assemble Together and pay thelr respects to Queen May and her court at this reception, taking only two hours on Thursday evening for the entire event. Flowers, palms and decorations will grace the occasion.
 The fever of booth building and all decorating of stores has seized upon the merchants with a vigor unparalled in the history of Phoenix. Booths in carnival colors, booths in the purple of the Elks' colors, booths in orange and back. booths in red, white and blue tIhe national colors, and so on, to the gorgeous flaming yellow structure in front of Bears drug itore, are being erected along Washington street until the residents themselves hardly recog- nize the place. Booth building will probably be continued until Monday night, among the merchants who have not previously thought of building booths in front of their stores have started in on a gala booth building time. No more novel sight could be seen than that of the open market, with goods of all sorts displayed along the streets for the view of the public, from beautiful and dair;y booths set from the curbstone out into the street. It rcvivcs a custom of hundreds of yeors ago, when open fairs were held in Europe

buns. spice cakes, plum buildings and the like, will regret to know that the price of dried entrants has gone up, and may go still higher This is due, say the dealers, to the fact that the mildew which has attacked the vines in Greece-where the only good cur rants are grown-has diminished the average yield of 15O,O00 tons to 40,O0O tons
 A pointer for the economical buyer is that entrants, if stored in clean, dry jars, will keep for three years, and will be as fresh then as they were on the day That they were bought. Few peo- pie, however, store entrants. They buy them in the autumn, when they are usually at their highest price.

 With the approach of Christmas a correspondent calls again for the rec ipe for White Ribbon Plum Pudding" given last year. This is the pudding" says the woman furnishing the recipe, 'that my ml5ther used to make" which never failed, which was always eaten to the last crumb and wnich was never known to disagree with anybody, young or old. The ingredients called for are half pound of flour, a half pound of raisins, stone5 and chopped, a half pound of entrants, picked over. washed and dried aboD; a cupful of milk or enough to stir easily with a spoon, a half pound of suet, one of ground cloves, half a nutmeg and four well-beaten eggs. Mix, tie in tloured cloth and boil for four hours. The water must be boiling hlrd when it is put on and must not stop boiling until it is dine. It is better boiled three hours on the day it is made and two hours before serving on Christmas day.

 Four teaspoonfuls of butter, six tea spoonfuls Of sugar, ten teaspoonfuls of cold water and one teaspoonful of ground cinnamon. Mix the sugar and water and heat but not boil. Then stir in the butter and cinnamon. Serve hot, but not boiling.
 The down quilt, usually considered  the most luxurious of bed coverings, is being superseded in large measure by quilts of wool. These come in all the pretty shades of plain silk and in the popular floral patterns, and are lined with a fine quality of Shetland wool. Prices range from $15 to $30-a little less than the down.
 
 Among the new sofa pillows are those illustrative of the popular "coon" songs These are finished with cord in colors to match.
 At many of the large country houses a series of holiday festivities are plan ned, after the fashion of the old Eng lishl country holiday parties. In the wide halls and before the generous fireplaces all sorts of sports and cere- monies may be joyfully carried on, ev- en to the hanging of the stockings on Christmas eve.
 At one notable house party last year, guests were requested to come provid- ed with Christmas raiment consistent with ''ye goode olde times" and the Christmas dinner was eaten by ladies and gentlemen of long ago.

RAILWAY RANK.
How Our Enormous Railway Mileage
 is Divided Between the States.

The Railway Age prints a table giv- ing the rank of the several states as respects both population and railway mileage. New York ranks first in pop ulation, but seventh in mileage. Illin- ois still leads in mileage-wfth nearly 11,000 miles-as she has done for a score of years. Maryland and South Caro- lima were among the first to use the railway, but they have been distanced by newer states. Maryland ranks twentysixth in population and thir- ty-ninth in mileage, while South Caro- lima is twenty-fourth in population and twenty in mileage. Pennsyl- vania stands second in both population and mileage. Texas is third in mileage though but seventh in population. Vir- ginia is seventeenth in population and eighteenth in mileage, North Carolina ranking close, as being fifteenth in pop ulaltion and nineteenth in mileage. Bleeding Kansas is a state which the railroads have to cross in going west, and it results that Kansas, Enough twenty y-second in population, is sixth in mileage, while Massachusetts is sixth in popuIa tiOn and ninth in mileage, ranking after Ohio, which is fourth in population and fifth in mileage. Neva- da, which is inferior to some of the ter ritories in population, ranks ffftieth in this respect and forty-siXth in mileage. The Age thinks that Texas-first in area-will by 1910 be first in mileage. The eastern states have about got their railway growth, but the far west and south have still a large expansion to undergo. The United States, not counting Alaska or our island posses sfons, now has over 76,00O,OOO inhabi- tants, and nearly 191,000 miles of rail- ways. If the rate of increase in the last ten years is maintained the year 1910 will see in the same territory, says the Age, nearly 9O,000,000 people and more than 22O,O0O miles of steam Railways, with electric railways or trackless automobiles supplementing them on every street and highway.

.EX-PRESI. CLEVELAND
BREAKS HIS Silence
GIVES THE ATLANTA JOURNAL HIS
VIEWS ON THE DEM0C-
RACY'S NEEDS.
RETURN TO FIRST PRINCIPLES
FROM WANDERING AFTER FALSE
GODS HE DECLARES TO BE
NECESSARY.

ATLANTA, Ga, December 1.-THE
Atlanta Journal this afternoon pub
fishes an interview with former Presi-
dent Cleveland obtained by a staff
correspondent at Princeton, N. j. Mr..
Cleveland is quoted as follows:
In my opinion, the great need of
the Democratic party is a return to
first principles. The Democratic party
has not been fatally disorgdniZed, but
it sadly needs rehabilitation on purely
Democratic lines.
What is the matter with the party?
1t has, in my humble judgment, sim
ply wandered off after strange gods.
A large mass of Democratic voters
saw this before the last election. They
remained quiet, but when the time
came to vote they said, This is not
Democracy and refused 70 support it.
LAS l see Il. it is the duty of Demo
Gratis everywhere to aid ii the rehabil-
itation of the party. There are some
signs of an insistence upon the nGces-
sity of a return to Democratic doc
trines in the South, but they are not
so general as l would like to see"
What of the future?' WAS asked
With a sincere return to its old
time doctrines" Mr.. Cleveland replied,
the old-time victories Of the Demo
cratic party will certainly BIZ Won.

passed bills to divide Kentucky and West
Virginia into two judicial districts, to
create another district judge in the north
ern district of Ohio and to refer to the
Secretary of the Interior for iuvestiga-
ton the claim of the State of Texas for
moneys expended on public improvements
in Greer county before the decision of the
supreme court placed it within the jur-
tsdiction of Oklahoma
An attempt was made to pass bill to
give soldiers and sailors of the civil war

ippines preference in the matter of APP
pointment TO and retention in positions
in the executive department of the gov
eminent. but it aroused opposition on the

BISHOPS APPOINTED.
The Pope Panied by the Injustice of
Italy Depriving Him of His Tenn
D0raI Powers.

ROME. Dec. 17.-At the secret con-
sistory held to-day the Pope appointed
a number of bishops, including Mon
signor Kean, formerly rector of the
Catholic University at Washington, to
the diocese of Dubuque.
The Pope, in to-days alocution,
thanked God, who had enabled him to
accomplish the holy year. Many pain
full matters, however, afflicted him, and
he went on to say, especially the con-
fiict between italy and the church, re-
sulting in a violation of papal rights.
Still graver things perhaps are to
be apprehended continued His Holt
ness. 1T is truly calamity that the
pontiff is despoiled forcibly of his just
and legitimate sovereignty, which is
closely bound up with the liberty of his
ministry. The pontiff is now held I'M
der the power of other men and sub
jected to their arbitrary will.
difficulties arise when We see the
domination of Rome pass from one
to another, as though it were a right
instead of being the fruit of injustice.
We wish the rights of the papacy to
remain intact. We declare that Meth
er time nor the succession of rulers can
suppress or diminish the imprescript-
ible right of the pontiff."
