RAISING THE STANDARD

Manager F. w. Stechan of the Doris theater seems to be the right man in the right place. He is doing some thing for Phoenix in the amusement line that is beginning to be appreciated ana that is. encourag girg a better class or attractions to put Phoenix oa the list

 A poor show will no doubt slip in oc- casionally as poor shows do everywhere for they come without inducement. for poor shows like poor people are every whre all the time, and have to so some where. Like poor relations, they may be discouraged but they cannot be shaken off entirely. But it is good to know that when Mir. Stechan goes after a company, and gets it, the patrons of the theater will get something for their money.

INDIANS SKINNED 'FM
Phoenix Unions Defeated in Tester
 days Game.

In hard fought game Of foot ball yesterday afternoon at Eastlake park. the Phoenix Unions were defeated by the first team of the Phoenix Indian school, the score being to Q. It was the maiden game Of the Unions though the team has been practicing long time. They put up-a strong fight and a very cre1itable one, and though they were worsted they played good ball and at TO time did the Indiana have a snap.
 There was not large attendance. the audience being confined mostly to the friends of the two teams. and the Indian band was not present for the reason that so many of the players belonged to both organization that the band could not make showing.
 The Unicns though q little disan- pointed are still confident they will de- velop into the better team and are therefore arranging for another game to be played soon.
 The game yesterday was played largely in the Indians territory. The Unions kicked off and the Indians se- curing the ball made d fifteen yard run before they were downed. and kicked after which the Unions gradually worked them back tc center. The first hall closed with no score. In the sec

The New Fort Wh;ppIe.
our favor,

A special dispatch from Prescott this morning brings the welcome news that the work of reconstructing Ft. Whipple will begin within a few weeks. Only those who are familiar with the long and practically single-handed fight which the Murphys"' have made for the re- establishment of this post can understand by what exertions success sive defeats have been overcome.
 At the beginning of the Spanish war the few troops at the post were with drawn and the place practically aban- doned. General Miles repeatedly re- commended adverse action on the re- quests for the reoccupation of the fort, and strongly advised its permanent abandonment. It may be imagined that it was not an easy task to win out" over the objections of the general commanding the army.
 Such a sum of money will be ex- pended in the reconstruction of this historic post as will make it rank with the leading posts of the country, and the people of Prescott will benefit di- rectly by the expenditure. More i'm portant than this, however, is the ad- vantage which all Arizona will reap from the establishment of a great and modern military post in the country. and the Salt River valley will be as directly benefited as Prescott by the commercial demands which a large body of troops at Whipple will create.

A writer in the Boston Transcript says that Far up in the icy northern wastes of Canada We have heard there lives an official of the Hudson Bay company to whom but once Q year maI and provisions come. He is an ardent reader of the London Times, receiving with each annual arrival of the modern Mayfiower slcdge the complete edition of a year. Each morning he unfolds at breakfast a copy of the Times. just one year old upon that date.

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE.

The agitation for woman suffrage has assumed Q changed aspect in recent years.
 Formerly the words woman sus- frage' conjured up picture of a wom- an with short hair. and masculine feet, whose waist and skirt probably did not meet in the back. protesting before high heaven that tyrant man would ncl permit her to vote. therefore vote she must.
 The seat and cause Of the difficulty are being more accurately located as time goes on.
 It has become plain to many that tle illogic of woman's position is due. not to the cruelty of tyrant man. but to the incomplete adjustment of modern COZ ditions.
 Today the majority of all women must work for tn2ir living and com- pete with men in field whose govern ing rules they have no voice in fram- ing. But this laGoriag majority does not possess infuc~ce in proportion to its numbers. because it's very labors ard necessities tie it's hands.
 The responsibility for the incongru- ous position of woman today lies with that more favored class of men and women, who neither toll nor spin. and who have time and money and oppor- tunity to study the questions of the hour, and the influence to effect re forms

 The honors of the game or rather the spectacular plays were made by Miguel uardo, who made a twenty yard run for the Indians and by Sam Reynolds and Jesus Lastra, better known as Chappo, for the Unions

SHE COLD KEEP A SECRET.
wem,n who Lived aud Died without
Once Telling Her Age

The one secret that women know
how to keep. is. according to unkind
critics. that of their age. says the Bal
timorc News. They will tell every
thing else that is entrusted TO their
keeping, but never, even in a moment
Of expansive lndiscretion. will they
be induced to reveal the number Of
their years.
OF course, this isn't always true.
Many fcminincs tell their ages and
those Of their women friends with as
much freedom a, their brother. would
give the same intelligence concerning
themselves. but one elderly lady who
recently died was. in the matter OF
secretiycncss. a marvel to her ac-
quaintanccs.
No one except her brother. and sis.
ter, knew her age. Her husband did
not. though she Wa married TO him
30 years or more. When the mar
riagc license had to be bought the
bride youchsafcd the information that
she va more than iS." That was
all; "a the hardhcartcd best man put
her down a. % year. Of age.
In the ycars that followed she
never spoke Of her birthdays. Once,
when shc va, asked il she wa. born
in June, she replied tina, she didn't
remember. The natal days Of others
in the family we're celebrated. but
hers never. She would talk well on
any subject in the world but ages;
on this she was absolutely dumb.
Before she died she made a single
request other husband. please don't
allow any date to appear in the obit-
uary notices OF on my tombstone"
she asked. II don't like dates"
And 80 her secret died with her,
and. though her women friends sur.
missed that she must he at least ten
years older than her husband to jus.

sible that she was nothing Of the sort,
She did not look it,. She merely had
a horror Of being reminded Of the
passage Of time.
This was, of course, a very unusual
case, but ii is sufficient evidence that
a woman can keep a secret and she
will.
