A lady recently from Chicago was heard to remark yesterday that if Phoenix was considered by eastern people to be on the frontier. that there was at least one line of goods in the town that kept pace with the times and for -to-dateness could not be cutdone in the Windy city itself When asked for details. she replied that she had just visited ScOvilles store at 114 West Adams street, where she had found the only first-class line of DOT celain bath tubs, wash stands and toilets In the city: but what surprised her most was Scovilla's elegant stock of electric and gas light fixtures. She said that the glassware and metal work were superb and of the very Eltest style. ScOville is naturally modest, bus he cOnfesses to having purchased the very latest designs Tn this class of goods with the purpose in view of ca tering to a thigh class and intelligent trade. He extends d cordial inyitatton to all who a"e interested in pretty house or effective store decorations. to call at the store and pass on his judg- ment free of charge.

BATTLE OF SAN JUAN
Wonderfully Realistic Representa-
 tion in Los Angeles.

Pains military spectacle the "Battl of San Juan" presented at Washing 1 ton gardens last evening for the first of a series of entertainments covering the week, was all that those who have | witnessed similar entertainments by the same people expected to see. That is to say that it was one of the most beautiful scenes ever witnessed in Los Angeles, notwithstanding the fact that hitch occurred to delay the opening ewing to late arrival in the city yes terday morning. necessitating cutting of the regular programme to a degree. The audience did not realize that the hour of opening was S:S0 D m.
 The battle proper with the charge ending with the capture of the fort was really but one of the beautiful features of the entertainment, though the most striking one. Some 200 people participated in this scene. and the tOmbardment the rife fire and the eX- plosfOn of magazines, furnished enough noise and gaudy fire to fully meet the requirements of the small boy. while the effect was artistic and beautiful beyond description.
 Of the many set pieces. portraits in fire of President Mckinley and Col Bryan olicited the most applause di- viding the audience into political groups.
 Among the features of the ryrotech- ric display there was no ordinary bon,- bardment of the sky, but hundreds of pieces of fireworks were set off which have not found place in the ordinary vocabulary.
 The accommodations provided were above the average in comfort for an out-Of-door entertainment. Whatever of discomfort there was was due to the neglect of the persons in attendance to provide themselves with wraps. the fog rendering sitting out of doors for two hours 'ather unpleasant.
 During the remaining evenings of the week there is litt;a doubt that the at tendance will be greater than that of last night. Tlsis evening the feature. aside from the battle will be an eX- hibit of Niagara Falls in fire. Los An geles Herald.

An impression which has prevailed locally that the new hotel was to be opened next month by a club of young men as a very exclusive affair. or some thing of that sort, was dissipated yes terday by the announcement that the property is to be a first-class, com pletely refftted and remOdeled hotel, with all modern improvements. and is to be owned and controlled by com pany of local merchants, bankers, etc. leading citizens of Phoenix.

what serious situation, inasmuch as. apart from
the possibility of Governor Hodgson's party be

practically announces the evacuation of Coo

tribes as a British retreat and thus tend to
