The Arizona State Telephone Company.

The first car load of telephone poles passed through Prescott yesterday for the south to be used in construct ing the new telephone line of the Ari- zona State Telephone company be- tween Congress and Prescott and the numerous mining camps between these two points.
 This car of poles will be taken to Kirkland where they will be dis tributed between there and Congress, the line going by way of Copper Basin, where it will connect with the numerous camps of Doug'as Lacey X O., and other mines. The line will be pushed right on through from there to Congress. Another car oi poles will arrive in a day or two for distribution between Kirkland and Prescott and it is expected that the Arizona State Telephone company and the Independent Telephone com pany of Prescott will be connected clear through to Congress In a few weeks.
 Since the Arizona State Telephone company assumed control of the tele- phone exchange at Congress about two months ago, the business has been increased nearly one-third, and as soon as the new connecting line with Prescott and the numerous mines along the route is completed the business will bevery greatly in creased to what it is now and be big paying institution from the start.

SANTA FE CONSOLIDATION.
IA Bill Before Congress to Take the Santa Fe Pacific Into the At-
 chison Company.

A bill will probably be soon passed by congress authorizing the Santa Fe Pacific railroad to sell or lease its railway property and franchises to the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe company.
 This bill was introduced into the house on January 2S by Congressman Charles Curtis, and just one month later was reported back to the house favorably by the committee on Pa cific railroads. It will be passed by both houses without opposition.
 As soon as the bill Is passed, the directors of the Santa Fe Pacific will authorize the sale Of the road to the Santa Fe proper.
 To all appearances this seemingly important transaction will have no bearing on the relations which now exist between the Santa Fe and the Santa Fe Pacific. The directors of the Santa Fe road are now the di- rectors of the Santa Fe Pacific, and the people who own the stock of the Santa Fe are also the owners of the Santa Fe Pacific. The only differ ence will be that instead of having two sets of officials, two boards of di- rectors and two independent sets of books, all these will be consolidated
 The Sant Fe Pacific railway was organized in June, 1897, and came into possession of the western di- vision of the Atlantic & Pacific rail way under forced sale The wes- tern division of the Atlantic & Pa cifc road comprised that portion of the line now known as the Santa Fe Pacific, SIS miles in length.
 Speaking of the proposed change, General Attorney A. A. Hurd of the Santa Fe, said to a Topeka Journal reporter:
 ''This bill, if it passes, will not al ter the relations which now exist be- tween the Santa Fe and Santa Fe Pacific It is change which is de- sirable simply in the interests of economy of administration. Under the existing conditions it is necessary to keep two sets of books for the two roads, and keep the affairs of the roads separate. The Santa Fe is un- able to purchase the Santa Fe Pacific without an act of congress, because the Santa Fe Pacific was built under the assistance of government sub sidy in the shape of public lands. We do not anticipate that there will be any opposition to the bill. do not see why there should be. The consolidation will not cause any change in existing officers or official nositions

Mrs. McCandless' Death.

Mrs. J. N. McCandless died at 3 o'clock this morning after an illness lasting since last Tuesday. She was apparently in good health up to noon last Tuesday, when sine was found lying on the floor of her room at a ho- tel unconscious. How long she had been in that condition was not known, as she was never able afterwards to speak. Paralysis was the cause of death. While she recovered con sciosness and recognized those around her, she was unable to communicate in any way with them, either by signs or word, on account of the complete paralysis of all muscles. Ever since be- ing found in her room she has been lowering between lifeand death, until claimed by the latter this morning as stated.
 Mrs. McCandless was the wife of Dr. J. N. McCandless and they had resided in Prescott for over a quarter of a century and was among the old est and most highly esteemed resi- dents of the place. Besides her hus- band, deceased leaves a daughter, Mrs. F. A. Davis, now in the east, and son, Louis McCandless, located in Kansas City, in the practice of law.

DIED VERY SUDDENLY.
Mrs. Helen Bashford Smith Succumbs
 to PerItonitiS.

The San Francisco Chronicle gave the following account of the death and funeral of the late Mrs. Helen Bashford Smith, mention of which has been previously made in these columns. On the day of her death the following was published:
 "Mrs. Helen Bashford Smith, prominent member of the Ebell so- ciety and an officer of the Women's Occidental Board of Missions of the Presbyterian church, died very sud- denly today at the East Bay sani- tarium, Oakland, following an opera ton for the removal of small tumor. But few of her many friends knew that she was ill. On the advice of her physician, Dr. D. D. Crawley, Mrs. Smith went to the hospital on Friday last to undergo what was thought would be slight operation. Usc of the knife disclosed to the sur geons that her condition was really far more serious than had been i'm agined. Some of the poison from the tumor found its way into the system, and after intense suffering death re- suited from peritonitis. Mrs. Smith was a widow, and leaves son and a daughter, the latter, Miss Kate Smith, being one of the most prominent stu dents at the State university. For many years Mrs. Smith has made her home with her mother, Mrs. F. A. Bashford of Harrison street, who sur wives her. Among her surviving rela- tives are the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. R. H. Burmister, and W. c. Bashford of Prescott, Ariz; Edward l.. Bashford of San Fran cisco, Mrs. G. A. Sprecker of Colton, and Mrs. A. W. Kirkland of Oakland. The funeral will take place Friday from the residence on Harrison street. Rev. Ernest E. Baker will officiate."
 The following is the account of her funeral. "The funeral of Mrs. Helen Bashford Smith whose death occurred Wednesday, was held this afternoon from her late residence on Harrison street. The services were conducted by Rev Ernest E. Baker, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, and there were in attendance a large number of the friends of the deceased from church, social organi- cations and the Ebell society. There were also many floral tributes from intimate friends. The services were very short, being without music. The pallbearers were W. c. Ralston, Geo. D. Gray, w. H. Knight, H. L. King, D. Edward Collins and c. A Bayley. The interment was private"
 Mrs. Bashford Smith was a woman, whom to know was to love, and not only were her relatives but all who knew her were devoted to her, and she to them. Her devotion to her two children was particularly noted, and sad will be the blow to her son Walter who IS ill Nome and who can not hear of her death for several weeks yet.

Salvation Army to the Front Again

It only seems as yesterday, whel the Salvation Army was in the midst of its great effort of feeding the ma tion's poor at Christmas tide wheI that extraordinary organization earn ed the encomiums of the entire coun try for its immense winter reliei work. Today we are informed that another great undertaking b, the Army is on the boards. This time it is the special Annual Week O Prayer and Self Denial.
 Notice that practicality of thi' great body of Christian people. On' would think that their everyday life sufficiently savored of self denial without the introduction of specia week. They are always feeding the poor, clothing the naked, nursing thu sick, retaining the fallen, housing the homeless. and in a general way living out their religion. Now it ap pears they are approaching specia week in which special prayer will be continuously offered for the salvation of the lost, and, to back up their prayers by work will stint themselves of part of their daily fare, and ab solutely cut of all creature comforts handing over the money thus saved to the general work of the Army.
 Our citizens should profit by thi, noble example, and we think it is mol too much to ask that the members O. the different churches and all other, interested in religious work contri bute to the Self Denial Fund of tn, Salvation Army. The week com mences on April 6, and ends on Apri 13. When the Salvationists call al your home or office, remember thu splendid work of relief they are al ways carrying on, and dive deep in your pocket for a substantial dona tion.

 Perhaps the difference between the rdoctoring" of experiment and experi- ence cannot be better shown than in the following statement:

An Easter Party.

The home of Mrs. J. l.. Munds was the scene of a merry party of chil- dren Saturday afternoon, the occasion being an Easter party given to the Sunday school pupils of the Christian Science church. There were about twenty of the happy little folks pres ent and Mrs. Munds, the supenntend- ent of the Sunday school, assisted by Mir. and Mrs. NJ. E. Spaulding and Mir. and Mrs. E. W. Wells entertained them in royal manner.
 Mir. Wells gave the children very interesting talk on the resurrection, as taught by Christian science. Games were played and the little people fed sumptuously on candies, cakes and other good things, and at the close of the party each one was presented with fancy basket which the ladies had made, each containing a toy rab- bit, little toy hen on a nest, candy eggs and real eggs handsomely deco rated, and each child went home with a happy heart.
 The house was beautifully and ap- propriately decorated for the occa- sion.

4 Fearful Scare.

One night this week when Mrs. Ed Lit and Mrs. Ed Kastner returned home from spending the evening at friends home, and before their husbands had returned from their places of business, they started to go into the dining room, and just as they opened the door they heard a terri ble crash in the room, which was as dark as pitch. One cold chill after another crawled up and down their spinal columns as they stood clasped in each others arms, each fearing to utter sound and wishing the other would call for help. After standing in this condition for about a minute Git seemed like an hour to them) with a grand final and heroic effort they broke away and started with all their might for the front door to give the alarm to the neighbors. There was some ice on the front steps and when they struck this something was heard to drop and over each other they went, each thinking the other was the supposed awful burglar until they struck the ground and a mutual explanation followed.
 They finally arrived at the house of a neighbor and telephoned hub bies. Grabbing a six shooter as long as William Jennings Bryan speech, and calling on trusted friend to stand by hin and testify as to how he did it, at the coroner's inquest, Ed Lit started for the scene of trouble.
 Arriving at the house they crept cautiously to the front door, silently entered and turning on the light with a flash while his heart thumped with determination to do or die, he dashed into the dining room. The sight that met his gaze was indeed blood curdling. On the floor was a calendar which had fallen from the wall when the door had been opened by the ladies, and on that calendar was the picture of smiling rascal hOV

In Memoriam Thomas Jefferson Butler

At the stated meeting of Aztlan Lodge No. l, F. & A. M.. held March 2S, the following preamble and reso- lutions were presented and adopted:
 Whereas, Our Supreme Grand Master has called our beloved brother T. J. Butler from his earthly labors to the celestial grand lodge on high, it is just and fitting that we inscribe a suitable tablet to his memory.
 Born in Bedford, Indiana, our brother crossed the plains and came to California in 1S49, where he en- gagged in mining and mercantile pur- suits. In 1864 he went to Idaho and engaged in the newspaper business, and in 1874 came to Prescott, Arizona, where he resided for about twenty years. In civil life he was prominent as a merchant, editor and banker; in the political field he served in the legislature and as clerk of the court in California, and as territorial treas urer and receiver of public moneys in Arizona, and in military circles he rose to the rank of brigadier general in the militia of California.
 In the Masonic field he occupied conspicuous place, being made mason at Elko. Nevada. He affili- ated with Aztlan Lodge No. l, in 1875; was its master in 1879 and served the grand lodge as grand ora tor in 1883 and 1889. Be it therefore Resolved, That in his death, Mas onry has sustained a severe loss, this lodge jealous and devout member, and the territory of Arizona an up right, honorable and prominent citi- zen. That we extend to his bereaved widow and relatives our earnest and sincere sympathy. That as a token of our sorrow this lodge be draped in customary mourning for the period of thirty days, and that these resolu- tions be spread in full upon our min utes, published in the. daily papers of Prescott and a copy be sent to tha widow of our late brother.

Easter ServIces.

The Easter services at the Congre- gational church yesterday were of ar unusually interesting character, and large congregations were in attend ance at both morning and evening services. Owing to the sudden illness of Mrs. H. D. Ross and Miss Nun van, the sopranos of the choir, the musical part of the programme was not what was expected. The Halle lujah chorus was not rendered as an nounced. In spite of the illness of these two ladies the music was excel lent and the different anthems were very creditably rendered. Mir. Ar mitage rendered a solo also, in excel lent voice and faultless style. The evening services consisted largely oi music. Rev. Long read a lesson from the scriptures, delivered a pray CT and also read a beautiful poem on divine love. A mass of flowers and plants on the platforms and in one corner of the building gave the build ing an appropriate Easter appearance. Rev. Long announced that on next Sunday evening he would resume his series of lectures.
 The Methodist church was very beautifully decorated for the Easter occasion with great profusion of Easter lilies, palms and potted plants and vines, the decorations re hecting credit on the artistic taste of the ladies in charge. Rev. H. w. Peck preached appropriate Easter sermons at the two services. While very little extra preparations had been made in the way of providing a spe- cial musical programme, what little preparation had been made was in terrupted by the illness of Mrs. F. R. Ward, the sudden sickness of so- pranOs being apparently contagious. Miss Block and Miss Stone each sang solos at the morning service, and Prot. B. D. Billinghurst rendered a cornei solo, all of which were excellent. By request Miss Block also sang "Jeru- salem, the Holy City," at the evening service. The attendance at the Sun day school, which usually ranges around the 100 mark, reached 119 at vesterday's session.

Gallup Oil.

R. J. Turnbull was in this morning from the oil fields of Mckinley county and he is enthusiastic over the prospects and over the country. The oil has a paraffine base beyond doubt and Mir Turnbull is elated thereat. We were sure itwas of parafiine base" he said, "but there were many who believed it was of an asphal- tum base. We have had many chunks of almost pure parafline come up and the quality is established without doubt. The oil from par affine base makes the very best illum- mating oil and it is the kind the Standard Oil company is particularly active after. They buy every paraf- fine base well they can possibly get hold of as it is so superior for retin- ing. This well is four miles south of Gallop. We went through about eight feet of shale and then struck the oil sand, four feet thick. It was there We struck the oil and we esti- mated the flow to be about a barrel a day. It was some eight or ten feet on down that salt water was struck. On Saturday night the drill reached another bed of shale just like that above the first oil sand bed. We ex- pect to strike the second layer of sand under this one and to make heavy strike of oil there. The layer of shale is, we know, fifty feet thick, and if everything goes well we ought to know by Wednesday or Thursday what we have. The prospects are the rightest.-Albuquerque Citizen.

Americans Leave London Hotel Be- cause Colored Methodists Are to
 Be Entertained.

The Afro-American delegates to the international ecumenical council, which is to meet in Wesley chapel, in City road, London. next month. are already arriving. Their advent is causing unexpected difficulty at one of the big hotels in the West End, where @ large number of Americans are staying. The latter, amazed by the announcement that some 200 col ored men were coming, formally pro tested to the proprietor. assuring him that such 6 thing would not be permitted in the United States, and demanding that the colored people be accommodated in 6 separate part of the hotel. The proprietor declined to interfere, with the result that some of the Americans are already arranging to leave. The hotel pro- prietor said:
 "I could not think of offering an in- suit to such men as Bishop Derrick, of New York; Bishop tanner, of Phil adelphia; Bishop Gaines. of Atlanta, and Bishop Arnett. I told the Amer jeans that when the Indian princes were here no one objected to meet ing them, and I do not propose to make any distinction at the expense of Africans"
