THE YOUNG MEMS MEETING
1T THE I. 1T. C. 4. ROOMS YES
 TERDaY AFTERNOON.
A Special Musical Program me Dsiig ghted the Audience-Addressb by Dr. Milton B. Phillips-"Is Lifo Worth Living" Was Nils Subject.

| The audience of men assembled at the Young Mems Christian association rooms yesterday afternoon was some what disappointed in not having the choir boys who had been announced tc sing. Their absence was occasioneo
 by some misunderstanding on the part of the one who made the arrangements some time ago. They will be present however, at some future meeting. The | associatio was fortunate in being flaw ored by contralto solo, "Oh, Jesus Thou Art Standing" by Miss Bessie Mix; two selections by James H. Mer- riam of the Railroad association, and another by MT. Bryant, who was for merly general secretary at Pittsfleld, Mass Mr. Northrop, the blind cornet- fst, led the singing with his instrument and played solo.
 Dr. Milton E. Phillips delivered stirring address on the subject 'ls Life Worth Living?" He said in part:
 AS sat at dinner in one of the res- taurants this week I engaged in con- versation with a young man who seem ed disconsolate. Before parting he said; I don't know whether there is much in the Christian religion after all. 1 don t know even if life is worth living!' Despondency was written on his face. I answered that if might be possible that there Is not much in life that is being lived for self, and asked him if he had ever tried to live for someone else. One day I stood in high school room and noticed boy who showed by his face that he was troubled in mind. On asking what was the matter he said: oh, it's no use my trying to keep on with my studies; I can't learn. I'm going to give it up What little kind ly encouragement he was induced to continue his studies and to-day he is one of the best. superintendent of one of the best schools in the west.
 Tn a selfish life there can be but lit- tie coming to us. There is indeed noth- ing worth living for If we have nothing better to do than gratify our fleshly appetites. It all depends upon the pur- pose we have in living It is in the ser vice of others that we find the secret of happy life May every man here desire to have his life covered over with a beautiful character Let Christ in and you will find your life being built into Gods eternal kingdom

A WET FISHING TRIP.

A rather funny story is one being told by Knoxville lawyer about a recent fishing trip on which he was accompa- nied by another Knoxville disciple of
 Blackstone, and physician whose home is in town about fifteen miles from Knoxville. The lawyer who tells tfrH story took along besides his fishing tackle. a quart bottle of whiskey, to do the crowd for the day. The other law yer and the doctor had already imbibed freely, and by ten o'clock the dtmands of the three increas sed by those of two rivermen. who assisted, had exhausted the supply and one of the rivernen was sent back to town for more fish, bite ail' He returned with two quart bot ties of corn whislzey, and in little while the fun began. The party was in two boats on the Tennessee. One of the rivermen was polling" one of the boats, the other the other boat They both fell in several times and the sober lawyer had to rescue one of them three times. The doctor laughed at the riv- ermen, and tried to poll the boat, and he, too, fell in, but managed to grab the boat This was kept up for some time, the rivermen grabbing small valise in the back of the boat as he fell in the last time, pulling in reel and line af- ter him. This time he was made to swim to the bank. The valise floatcd on down the river and was afterwards captured.
 The party finally made their way back home, and the sober lawyer de- clares he almost suffered nervous pros- tration at the thought of the dangers experienced. The rivermen went back and fished up his reel and line the next day and returned it to him. Only two fish were captured, and the sober law yer caught both of those.-Knoxville In11rnnl a nd rrfih1np

QUESTION OF CUSTODY.
Bill Against Jack Peterson Ignored by Grand Jury and He is Arrested For
 Escaping From an Officer.

A peculiar case was tried before Judge Moore yesterday afternoon. Jack Peterson was arrested several weeks since in Jerome charged with aggravated assault. He was brought to Prescott and on his arrival at the court house, before he had been placed in jail he asked permission of the deputy sheriff to step out of the room for a short time. Permission was granted and Peterson kept stepp- Ing so long that moments passed to minutes, minutes to hours, hours to days and days to weeks and still he did not return. He went over to Mo have to grow up with the country and possibly live a life free from charges of aggravated assault.
 The grand jury met, heard the test timony in Peterson's case, and de- cided that he had not committed an aggravated assault and ignored the chare against him. Peterson had simply anticipated this action, by leaving as he did. Officers, how ever, on learning of his where abouts, had him arrested and brought to Prescott and lodged in jail charged
 with escaping from custody. Peter son employed J. D. Wakely to repre- sent his case and at the trial yester- day he raised the point that as he had never reached the jail and had been given permission by the deputy sheriff to retire, the latter had lost custody of the man, and in walking away he had committed no crime. The justice took it under advisement until today at o'clock.

Brown s In Town.

One of the best titles ever given to a farce comedy is Browns in town" which will be the attaction at the Opera House Thursday, Dec. 11th. There is something amusing in the very suggestion as to why this numer- ous gentleman is in the city. It is said that this particular Brown has enough embarrassing experiences to shake up an audience thoroughly. The amusing situations of this farce are said to never pail on any one and those who have seen it pronounce it the most original of all. The con ventional mother -in-law. the stereo- typed old maid. the visiting aunt with mother in-law instincts, and the time worn German and Irish servants have been dispensed with The story of "Brown's in Town is told by young players, which is a novel feature in itself. and in farce can not help to be entertaining when illustrated by such clever comedians as seen in this one The cast in cludes Chas. Horn, Geo. Weich, Per " Alexander. Frank Willard. Eman- uel Ward. Fanny Midglcy. Edna Hicky. Coralie Clifton, Elizabeth Pindell Whipps and others The advance sale Is now open,

 ''I will not indorse for that respon- sible position any man who habitually deals in stocks" said the president recently, when asked to secure ap- pointment for a bright young man who takes an occasional flyer on the stock market"
 We are wasteful people. We are extravagant to the verge of wicked ness. It Is easy enough to account for this condition on the score of the immense natural wealth of our coun- try, but from now on our duty will not be so much to say why we have been careless as to find some means to restrict our spendthrift disposition. Our waste is seen not only in our conduct of public affairs, but in the narrow things of home. The coal strike will not have been an unmixed evil if we have learned from it economy in the use and choice of fuel.
 Denver's mayor has been arrested charged with contempt of court.
 President Roosevelt is intelIigently seeking a remedy for the trust evils without turning back the wheels of modern progress or by eliminating the forces which Rave brought about these industrial conditions"
 A telegram from New York com plains that coal is selling there for from $50 to $9 per ton. Here in Prescott we pay $50 per ton regu- larly the year round, and then do not consider that there is any kick com ing.

BARD ON ARIZONA.

Senator Bard has raised a whirl- wind of indignation around him on account of his speech against the ad- mission of Arizona. Telegrams from both Arizona and southern California have been sent to him protesting against his action, while other sena- tors have been flooded with similar t,leSrams.
 Senator Bard is either a poor palmist or a jester. His reading of Arizona's hand would indicate that he had not been paid for his trouble. However that may be his pessimistic utterances as to othe future of this territory are as premature as they are unjust. No man having conscien- tiously studied the conditions of Arizona as they are today, would for one moment allow himself to menace the welfare of people so clearly en- titled to fair presentation as are the Arizonans. As foreknowledgist his forecast of the territory's future is so manifestly unfair that an unequivo- cal impeachment of the traducer would only be a just vindication of our present and future status. Not even the subterfuge that ''in appor- tioning delegates to the constitutional convention the democratic delegates would control" l" in any manner con dones the offensive stigma of his statement that we have reached the height of" our development for the present-probably, for considerable number of years to come"
 It is the duty of Arizonans to re- sent such a ridiculous attempt to be- little the efforts being made for state hood. If this recognition is only to be attained at the sacrifice of the position and dignity of patriotic people, it would be just as well to show an independent hand at the af- front thus maliciously offered and righteously contend for our rights Senator Bard in the field against us notwithstanding.
