De Wolf Hopper told the following at
the Lambs Club in New York the other
night:
Boys, I've heard girls make all sorts
of excuses to the stage manager for
being late, but this morning a new one
was sprung at our theater, and it takes
the grand prize. One of the chorus
girls came in away behind time, and
the stage manager with a forbidding
grown, said to her:
This ISN'T the first time you have
been late, and | told you before that
if it ever occurred again your services
would be dispensed with if you hadn't
a good excuse.
"In reply the girl exclaimed:
"'Well, I've got a good excuse. I'm

little claim to plot. but is presented
for the sole purpose of introducing
laughter, beauty and song corraling all

dams, fascinating prima donnas, be-
witching soubrettes, and a dashing
chorus of youthful forms with beauti-
full faces and sparkling eyes. That's

The Whitman Sisters are we'll known

contralto solos was possibly the best.

depth and instead of impassioned dec
lamation, so often heard by singers of
this day, she treated the audience to
singing. She has a contralto voice.

Mrs. Stanton, by the way, is now 81
years old-or rather, as Emerson used
to say, she is 81 years young. She is
the only woman living who attended
the first Womans Rights Convention
ever held in the world, at Seneca Fall,
NJ Y, just fifty-four years ago. The
direct cause of calling this convention
was the refusal of the Worlds Fair
anti-slavery meeting, held in London
in 1910, to admit women as delegates,
although they had crossed the ocean
for that purpose. Mrs. Stanton was
among the party, although not del
egate; but she felt so indignant at the
treatment of the female delegates that
she vowed then and there to call wo-
mans rights meeting soon as she re-
turned to America. At that time,
however the ballot was not thought
of among the rights asked for by the
women. They were begging for the
right to an education, to have control
OF their own property, and to enter
any profession they saw fit. Eliza
beth Cady Stanton was the only wom-
an present at that first convention
who thought that the right of the bal
lot should be included in their declar-
alton of rights; and though most OF
the other thought she was going al
together too far, her eloquence pre-
vailed and the convention of fifty-four
years ago embodied the right to suf-
frage in their declaration of woman's
rights My own earliest, and perhaps

ENCOURAGE THE HOME MAN.

i The city of Bisbee is young and it is quite likely that it will have future ia vors to bestow in the way of encour- agement for public enterprises. All things being equal the home man should receive these Iavors. The peo- pie who have helped to build Bisbae and dvelOp its resources should be given first cnoice in all enterprises to oe furthered by the city. If street i'm provements are to be undertaken the home man should be lavored against any outsiders when contracts are to be awarded. The same rule should apply in all manner of public work, whether for erecting buildings, con structing sewerage or street cleaning. Not only should this rule be adherei to by the city, but it should be the in variable rule of all our business firms and citizens. The people who live in Bisbee contribute to its prosperity to the extent of their earnings. We would not be understood as advising boycot on strangers coming to the city, on the other hand, they should receive a hearty welcome, but the home man should receive the preference in all matters of trade an. industry.
 This policy will bring our people closer together in business relations; it will strengthen the confidence of our citizens in each other and when neces- sity requires all can join hands in the furtherance of any proposition for pub lie improvement We will all be di- rectly interested; each will rejoice in the prosperity of his neighbor, becau SC or the assurance that with a strict rule of neighborly reciprocity, what benefits one directly benefits all indi- rectly.
 Let the people of Bisbee work to- gether for the further advancement of tae city. This can be best done by the policy of giving home men the preference in all matters of trade and employment

INCREASED TELEPHONE

The Silver Belt announces that the Globe telephone line has been extended to san Carlos and is to be extended on tc -ort Thomas. At that point it will lJnGect with the Gila Valley Telephone company. The work of putting up a telephone exchange at Tombstone was commenced this week. The Tombstone company is composed of E. T Hams, W. C. Mcfarland, and ohers living Tn the Gila valiey. MT. Hams is a one third owner in the Gila Valley line and he will connect his Tombstone system with the Gila Valley system at Solo monville.
 The Gila Valley line now connects Pima, Thatcher, Stafford, Solomonville. Clifton and Morenci, the principal towns in Graham county. On the way from Tombstone to the Gila valley the towns and camps of Pearce, Black , Diamond, Gleeson. Cochis. Wilcox and Fort Grant will be supplied wiht tele- phone service. The Tombstone com | pany also intend to builo to Bisbee. If they do so they will connect with lines now operating which connect Douglas, Naco and La Cananea, Me xi- co, with this place This would connect by telephone all the important points in Cochise, Graham and Gila counties. When this is done 1t will not be long until the Sunset long distance will tap the new system, either at Globe. or perahps at this point or Tombstone. The success of the Cha Valley line
 has demonstIa atea that telephones are vry popular. even in very small towns Such a circuit as contemplated when tie Globe. Gila Valley. Tombstone ana Bisbee lines are all connected would
 render a very convenient service to a
 large number O. people Then a coltil
