ELK'S MEMORIAL SERVICES
4 Large Audience Witnessed the I'm
 pressive Ceremonies.

The Elks memorial service at the Doris theater yesterday afternoon was the most impressive memorial service ever witnessed in this city. with the single exception of the service held in memory of President Mckinley. The theater was filled both upstairs and down and had the attendance been much larger admission would have been hard to secure.
 The decoratiors were in keeping with the occasion. The pedestal of the ex- alted ruler. surmounted by an elk's head and decorated in the colors of the order, occupied the center of the stage and the other three stations were respectively in the center Of each of the three sides of the auditorium, the ar engagement being significant of the lodge room. Each station was occupied by it's lodge officer and was app-opri- ately decorated At the rear of the stage hung a drop curtain presenting a wooded scene. rich in foliage and making appropriate background for the palms. potted plants, evergreens, chrysanthcmums and other flowers which lent their beauty to the scene.
 Promptly at o'clock the members of the lodge, with the Pioneer band a their head. marched from the lodge T of the lodge and the speakers of the hour were seated on the platform. while the members of the lodge for the most part sat in body.
 The opening exercises were preceded by funeral march by the orchestra and followed by a quartette composed of Mrs. Gilland. Mrs. Foote. MT. An drews and Mir. Masten, singing the Lost Chord" most beautifully. The members of the order sang the opening ode of the lodge. after which Rev. F. A. Penick offered an invocation.
 After the Angels Serenade," a very pretty orchestra piece. Governor N. O. Murphy, who is a member of the order. was introduced and delivered a very interesting short address on the subject of The Four Stations." in which he eulogized the principles and objects of the order. referring to the four prin- ciples upon which the institution is founded. He included in his remarks the reciting of Longfellow's psalm of life. which was most appropriate to the occasion.
 Pilgrims of Night a contralto solo. was sung very sweetly by Mrs J. G. Foote and it was followed by "The Palms" q baritone solo by MT. George F. Combe. his rendition being highly entertaining.
 Mir. Frank Lyman made a very elo- quent talk in memory of the dead brothers of the order and especially the two who had been called within the last year. William O. Petrie and Robert McCleary, and in memory of whom yes terday's service was particularly ar ranged. Though neither man died in this city. both were well known here, having joined Phoenix lodge early in

it's history and having resided here for some time.
 MT. Eugene ReGewiIl. who, though young man. is well known as a very talented violinist, played selection on that instrument, being accompanied on the piano by Prof. Strobridge.
 "The Holy City" ever a beautiful song and most appropriate for such an occasion. was sung by Mrs. DAlta Gill land. whose rich soprano voice has frequently been heard in Phoenix mus ical circles.
 MT. G. P. Bullard was the last speaker, his subject being "The Brotherhood of Elks.'' He spoke very clearly and defended the order against many unjust criticisms and explained so nearly as might be publicly done, not only the teachings but the practice of the members of that society in all matters of fraternal relief. He paid special tribute to the charity and vir- tues demanded of the membership and to the supreme respect and protection thrown around the home circle.
 Fear Not Ye. Oh Israel" a bass solo. was sung by MT. I. H. Andrews and the closing ritualistic ceremonies were followed by Rev. c. V. Cowan in the benediction. The audience joined in singing Nearer My God to Thee The orchestra was under the direction of Prof. Smith and Mrs. w. K. Porter was the accompanist for several of the musical numbers.

MARY THOMPSON WAS DESERTED
Shot Somehow After MT. Fenton, Ac-
 countant, Had Sailed for England.

New York, Dec. 1.-Some romance was thrown yesterday into the case of Mary Thompson. the young Englishwo- man, who went to St. Vincent's hospital on Friday with a bullet wound in her breast and refused to tell how, when or where she was shot even after she had been taken to Bellevue a prisoner charged with attempting suicide. A man who said he was John c. Gibson, in the real estate business at 345 Broad way, called at Bellevue to ask about her. He said that man who had been paying some attention to her had sailed on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse on Saturday morning.
 The name of Miss Thompson's friend, Gibson said, was Cecil Rhodes Fenton. and he was an accountant. Fenton. ac- cording to Gibson. recently formed partnership with Thomas Clemens, an other accountant, and they opened ofIi- ces in room SOP at 346 Broadway. That is the New York Life building. On

INJUNCTION BY JURY
A Question Raised in the Headgats
 Breaking Cases.

The injunction suits brought against the farmers to prevent them from breaking the headgates of the Arizona Water company was intended to take the matter out of the hands of juries, since it has been demonstrated that conviction by jury cannot be pro cured. A question has been raised if the company can avoid a jury by an in junction proceeding. The last legisla- ture passed a law bringing all litigation involving matters of fact within the province of the jury and since the bill filed by the water company deals With mat ters of fact as well as of questions of law it is doubtful if the defendants can not call for jury. It is the opinion of many lawyers that a jury may be demanded in these cases.
 It is a ridiculous thing to suppose that a jury could dissolve an injunction or make a temporary one permanent, for nowhere else in Arizona has it ever been hinted that that power rested any where else than in the court. But the law has been so framed that the ques- tion will at least be fought over.

THE BUCKET SHOPS
Invite the Attention of Cotton
 Commission Men
Growers Desiring to Gamble Patron ize Them to Their Financial Dis advantage-How Prices are kept Down.

New York. Dec. 1.-Cotton commis- sion men, both in this city and in the south, are face to face with the fact that their business is being ruined by the bucket shops. All over the south bucket shops have been springing up like mushrooms. during the last few months. Well posted cotton commits sion men say that there are at least twice as many bucket shops in the south as there were a year ago.
 Every southern city or town of any size has a number of them. From these private wires radiate until towns of even the smallest size have their bucket shops. It is possible to trade in grain and provisions, but the trading is almost exclusively in cotton.
 More than half the trading in cotton in the south is now done through the bucket shops. The percentage of the business through legitimate channels is constantly becoming less. If they continue to lose business so rapidly legitimate commission men will soon have very little left.
 Bucket shops are also able to offer inducements to customers which mem bers of the cotton exchanges cannot offer. A year ago last September the New York and New Orleans cotton e=- changes put into effect a rule which fixes the minimum commission to be charged a non-memDer at S1O. and this commission law" has had a great deal to do with the rapid development of bucket shop business. Bucket shop men. not being bound by any rules, charge any commission they see fit. The bucket shop men will. moreover. execute orders for broken lots and the small traders. who are largely in the ma jority. drift to the bucket shops.
 The quick action" of bucket shop traders is of course the strong attrac- tiOn which draws a class of customers who only wish to gamble. and who would never think of dealing in cotton futures in legitimate way.
 The bucket shop craze in the south is not only affecting the business of the cotton brokers. however but 1t is oper- ating directly against the cotton rais- CTS. Every well posted cotton man says that the price of cotton would be higher if it was not for the great amount of bucket shop business. The bulk Of the orders placed with bucket shops are on the buying side of the market. while the bucket shop men, whose interest is always opposed to that of their customers, exert their every endeavor to bear the market.
 The New York and New Orleans cot ton exchanges have taken the matter up and an effort will be made to pro- tect the market.

Miss Lund, Professor at Syracuse Uni
 versity Was a Desciple.

Syracuse, Dec. Miss Luna, profess sor of vocal music at Syracuse Uni versity, lost her life through being d Christian Scientist. She died last week from anaemia and no doctor was called until a short time before she died. It is known that for a long time prio, to her death Miss Lund had been a disci- pie of Mary Baker Eddy and had made frequent trips to Boston for treatme nt by Christian Scientist healers. It is said that Miss Carrie L. Stone with whom Miss Lund lived at 6O1 Comstocx avenue, is an ardent Christian Scientist and had much to do with her conver- sion.
 Miss Lund had been in poor health for two or three years and at times haG been unable to attend to her college du- ties. She would not listen 10 her frienGs and send for a physician. When she was nearly dead Dr. John L. Henron was called, but it was too late to help her.

ACCIDENT ON GRAND TRUNK.
Caboosc Overturned by Switching Engine. Two
Men Injured.

Portland. Me. Feb. AT 315 Sat
urday morning, caboose in the Gran.
Trunk yard was overturned by Il
switching engine, and left completely
upside down.
Conductor Damon and Brakemen
Lane and Turner We're fast asleep III
the caboose. and We're aroused only to
find themselves surrounded by flames.
The stove was overturned. The red hot
Goals scattered about, and in an instant
they We're literally roasting.
Their awful cries aroused the neigh
bOrhood. but the Grand Trunk men
were poWerlesS to help them. An alarm
was rung in, and at last the burning
car was broken through and the men
taken out.
Their condition was piteous. They
We're fearfully burned. and suffering
the most intense agony. They We're at
once taken to the Maine General Hospi-
tai. and We're found to be burned al
most literally from head to foot. Brake
man Lane suffered less than the others,
but he was in a fearful condition.
1t is believed that the men will re
cover. Their rescue from what seemed
destined to he a death trap was little
short of marvellous.
