dino was 1884.

society, wives, children and sweethearts.

The Elks' circus was a blessing il
more ways than one. 4 number of tn,
i mustaciiea and boards which formerl,
covered the faces OF prominent citizen
disappeared under the BARRIERS hand
! revealing strangely familiar faces to TIN
public gaze. There are some men t.
whom beard is an adornmeut, but it i
. generally because of some facial defect
, The majority of men who have reached
the age where character begins to SHOW
traces in the face are all the better TO
foreswearing boards and other barbar
GUS adornments, That il, their charac
{ tiers are such as will bear the light o.
publicity. Here's prosperity to the bar
: bers and long life to smooth faces.

the hotel is doing better business
than it has done for some time. Mr..

Hughes are still connected with the
hotel. Mr.. Corbett is a shrewd bust
ness man, popular with all who come in

The Fort Lowell ghost is said to be
dead, if a ghost can be properly spoken
I of as dying. 1t undertook to give too
many performances and got run dowr
in health and finally became so attcnua
ted that no one could see it and so il
turn it gave up the ghost. That is how
the story runs. The public will be sor
ry to hear of its untimely demise. \
ghost is entitled to fuli round OF years
and large measure of popularity. Like
a good lie we'll authenticated ghost i.
|
corded the full credit of its station. The
Fort Lowell ghost was well authentic
ated ghost, having been vouched for by
many eminently respectable citizens
whose home-going tracks are always
I straight, and those who follow the motto
, of never speaking aught but good of the
J dead can i'll afford to cast doubts upon
: its short and troubled existence.
An Associated Press dispatch tells Of
the return Ex-Governor Murphy to Phoe-
nix yesterday. 1t says: Governor Muir
ply returned to Phoenix today after an
} absence of six weeks, in which he and
, other Arizona representatives were in
Washington feeling the pulse OF congress
with regard to statehood for this terri
tory. The governor says that early in
the session the advocates entertained
little hope of securing admission this
session, because of the crowd of more
important measures in congress and be-
cause the delegate from Oklahoma which
has presented more claims for admission
than any other territory, manifested no
disposition to press his demands this
session. A majority of both houses &C
cording to the governor favor early ad-
mission, and he believes Arizona claims
will be acted upon favor4bly next ses-
sion.
