A PULL TOGETHER.
and New Mexico to
Unite to Secure Statehood.

Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 5--Governor Muir
ply has issued semi official procla-
nation calling a statehood convention
to convene in Phoenix oil October 26.
The Phoenix board of trade decided to
appropriate funds to cover all the ex-
penses of delegates to the conference.
Representation will be had from each
county of the territory, and strong
effort will be made to disregard polit-
ical faith or business calling in making
up the delegations. The governor in
his proclamation states his belief that
concerted action upon the part of citi-
Zens will induce the Fifty seventh con-
gress during -he coming winter to pass
an enabling act, but it is limited that
influential corporations will not lend
assistance.
Governor Murphy has accepted an in
vitation from Governor Otero to ad-
dress a statehood convention at A1bu-
querque on October a. 1t is under
stood here that the two territories will
cooperate in an effort to secure admis-
sion.

not these matters be printed?"
Captain Lemly: Then they would be

Admiral Dewey: 1--WE want them
Gould they not be printed like other

I'VE want every thing that passed be-

ought to be printed in the record an

in any letter to Admiral Schley. He

Capt. LemIy: 'sIt is really a part of

not contend for one moment that any

editorial against Admiral Schley are
proof of what these allegations are, but
this is a part of the correspondence,

what was the propriety of Commodore
Schley's conduct in the premises
Mr. Rayner: Would you take a

Schley says he never saw it and never

Judge Advocate: You have made
that statement
Mr. Rayner: ST do not think this
record ought to be stained with these

The court then retired for consulta-
tion, and after a few minutes returned,
making the following announcement
through Admiral Dewey:
1.-The court decides that any clippings
from newspapers which form part of
the correspondence between Admiral
Schiey and Lieut.. Hodgson should
properly be read"
Mr. Rayner: May it please the court,
there is no evidence to show that this
particular editorial forms part of the
correspondence, or that it was ever
received by Admiral Schley."
Admiral Dewey: Under that ruling.
it ought not to be read"
After the further reading of the let
ters and before the entire correspond
ence had been exhibited, the court at
1 o'clock adjourned until Monday.

Rules and Regulations Govern
ing Edwards Coronation
Are Announced TO the Public
by the Earl Marshal.
STARTLES SOCIETY.
The Whole Document Breathes
Of the Middle Ages.
All Counterfeit Pearls Are Ban
ished From CorOnets.

London, Oct 5-There is a futter in
high society today owing to the fact
that the earl marshal has issued the
rules and regulations governing what is
to be worn at the coronation of King
Edward next year. The whole document
breathes of the middle ages, when dis
tinctions in dress were considered so es-
sential and the quaintness of the phrase
ology in which the attendance OF the
nobility of the United Kingdom is re
auired ''at the solemnity of the royal
coronation of their most sacred majes-
ties and describing the regulations in
regard to the dresses and head dresses,
is distinctly mediaevel. There is a cur
ious graduation in the fur trimmings Of
the robes which emphasizes the fine dis
tinctions existing in the ranks of the
aristocracy.
All the peers have been notified that
their robes must be of crimson velvet
edged with miniver the cape furred with
miniver, pure and powdered with bars,
or rows of ermine, according TO their
degree. Here follow the numerical grad
uations distinguishing between the
ranks. Barons are allowed two rows of
ermine, viscounts two and a half rows,
earlS three rows, marquises three and q.
half rows and dukes four rows. All the
mantles and robes must be worn over
full court dress, uniform regimentals-
The earl marshaps order banishes
counterfeit pearls and all jewels from
the caps of crimson velvet, turned up
with ermine. with gold tassels on top
No jewels or precious stones are to be
set. or to be used on coronets, nor coun-
terfeits of pearls, instead of silver
balls The number of the latter per-
mitted, revives a nice sense of distinc-
tion. A barons coronet bears six sill
yer balls. a viscount's 16. an earI's eight.
with gold strawberry leaves between; a
marquis four balls and four leaves. al
Tentatively. A dukes coronet has no
balls and has only eight gold strawber-
ry leaves.
The earl marshal next prescribes the
robes, mantles and coronets to be worn
by the peeresses. These are of the
same materials as the mems, with sim
liar graduationS in the numbers of bars
OF ernine and balls. The length of the
trains marks the difference In rank
A baroness is only allowed a train OF
three feet, a viscountess has one and
a quarter yards, countesses have one
and a half yards, marchioness has
one and three-quarter yards and a
duchess two yards
Then follows curt notification as to
who shall be excluded. Peeresses in
their own right, and widows of peers.
are allowed to come, but widows who
have remarked beneath their rank IL
the peerage are mot entitled to a sum-
mons to attend the coronation"

MAINE LIQUOR AGENTS REPORT
Prohibition Cities Consume the
Greatest Amount of IntoyicHnts.

BANGOR, Me. Dec. ga queer condi-
tion is reveaed by the annual report Of
the Maine State liquor agent, which
throws an interesting light on the alleged
success Of prohibition as enforced in
the city of Portland by Pearson, the
parson sheriff."
Agent J. W. Wakefield reports that his
total sales for the year just closed
amounted to s6S, $50, and Of all this liquor
more than one-half, or sS4.S6i worth, was
disposed of in the agency in Portland.
The other agencies sold liquors in the
following amounts: Auburn. S6.275; Ban
gor. S2.S36; Bath, S2,429 Bened'cta. S65S;
Bucksport, Sl,00T; ThomastoL. S2.749;
Gardiner LAS: GreenvilIe. 81. .e27; Lewis
ton, S6,Oli; Machias. 81 .2S7. Phillips. SSlS;
Randolph, 1885; Rockland S667: Water
vile. S2,SJ6; Wiscasset, $2077.
From this it appears that the three So
called prohibition cities of Portland.
Lewiston, and Auburn consumed more
than 81 per cent of the liquors dispensed
at the agencies, where liquors are sup
posed to be sold only for use in the
arts and sciences. in mechanical pur-
suits. and for sickness

of Auburn, bought less than half as much

her invalidism by her husband after only
six months OF married life. Mrs. Frieda
Abel, a pretty young woman, eighteen
years old, residing at 136 East 1O9th

preme Court against the city FOR $4,000

Being under age, and in the absenc ,

Mrs. Abel had to appear in court through
her guardian, her father. John Dullmeyer,
Of 1873 East 1O9th Street. who was so sp

market is decidedly upward in the opinion
of some Of the best Of the critics, and
even Sugar cannot stay its progress.

American Sugar Refining Company AID
Arbuckle Brothers. That an understand

these ostensibly hostile refiners is DOUBT

the scheme.
