MERCY HOSPITAL BENEFIT.
A Most Delightful Entertainment Given Last Evening By Mir. Ryan and
 Mrs. Kirkpatrick of Tucson

Those who failed to attend last nights concert in the opera house missed one of the best musical en- tertainments ever given in Prescott This assertion is made advisedly and with the fact in mind that profes, sional companies have appeared in the opera house.
 Mrs. Elsie W. Kirkpatrick and Tom F. Ryan are a whole concert troupe in themselves, as was demon strated last evening by them to the audience present, which, unfortun- ately, was not as large as either the merits of the entertainment or the cause for which it was given de- served.
 The opening piece was recitation and aria from Messiah" by MT Ryan, and was perfect musical gem Mir. Ryan is possessed of a fine bari tone voice which is thoroughly under his control and. added to his fine presence on the stage, fairly en- chanted his audience.
 Mrs. Kirkpatrick has a very sweet and pleasing mezzo soprano voice and has it splendidly trained, and capti- yates her hearers.
 The program was mixed one con- sisting of solos and duets, classical and humorous, and each appearances elicited an encore from the audience
 A number from the charming and popular opera Florodora, Tell Me Pretty Maiden" was most charm ingly rendered by MT. Ryan and Mrs. Kirkpatrick. This was probably the first time that the majority of the audience had an opportunity of hear ing selection from this opera, which is having such run, and it was cer- tainly very pleasing close to the evenings entertainment.
 A feature of the concert, which was remarked by those present, was the clear and distinct articulation of the artists, as every syllable could be plainly heard in the most remote part of the hall, and there was no tremolo movement of the voice, which occa- sionally is noticed these days among singers.
 Mrs. w. A. Cline played the ac- compartments besides being ou the programme for two piano solos. Pres colt audiences are so accustomed to Mrs. Cline's faultless manipulation of the piano keys, and are always so well pleased with her playing that it often goes without saying in criti- cisms of musical entertainments. that she acquitted herself admirably. Last evening, however, she even eXcelled herself, and was greeted with cnthu- siastic encores and was also the re- cipient of a handsome bouquet.
 Miss Norma Fernwault added new laurels to her reputation by a rec ta- ton and by tambourine dance, the latter being particularly pleasing to the audience and eliciting an encore
 The thanks of Prescott people are certainly due to MT. Ryan and Mrs. Kirkpatrick for a most delig htful evenings entertainment.

Biggest Ever Made.

The largest freight engine in the world passed through La Junta yes terday and went south to California, says the Denver Post. It is the first of several to be turned out at Sche- nectady, N. Y., for the Santa Fe, and will be placed in service on the Raton division of the road. The companion locomotives will do the hauling on the grades of the road in the west and over the Tahachapi mountains in California. The engine weighs 5000 pounds more than the next lar gest engine, its total weight being 269,000 pounds. It is of the decapod style, and the fire box alone is de- scribed as being as large as the or dinary bed chamber in a hotel. Not only will the grades of the route be reduced and cut-offs built, but new high speed equipments aimed to re- duce the time to the coast is being ordered. The Denver X Rio Grande and the Rio Grande Western are do ing the same kind of work. Manager Herbert returned yesterday from overseeing numerous improvements in the track to the west.

A BIG WIN MING,
A Chinese Merchant Draws Down Twenty-Four Hundred Dollars on Three DeIlsr Invest
 ment in a Policy Game.

Quong Tuen, Chinese merchant of Prescott, last night made the largest winning at the Wellington policy game ever made on single ticket in the territory. He caught eight numbers on straight ten-spot ticket which he had played for s and won S2, 400, an eight-spct paying 500 for one.
 His original investment was but one dollar, he having played ticket at the previous drawing for that amount. On this first ticket he caught six numbers, which called for S20. He then marked several tickets for the late drawing at 11:30 D. m., among them being a straight ten spot for s. It was on this ticket he caught eight numbers, and ten min ntes after the drawing was checked he received his money. A moment later the game was doing business for the drawing to follow this morn- ing.
 Manager L. N. Levinson says when questioned: "Yes. that is the heavi- est hit ever paid on one ticket in the territory. It is Of course. rather ex- pensive, but it is an excellent adver- tisement, and will convince people who do not understand the game that progressive'policy is not only a fast game, but that the big odds of fered can be won, and that the money is always at hand to pay all winning tickets. A winning ticket, big or little, is the same as a check on a national bank, and when presented is cashed promptly and without for mality.
 "Our game is here to stay and I hope it will be understood that even a S2, AGO winning does not in any way curtail the play. Our bank roll is the same today as it was yesterday and there is just as much money to be won now as before the big winning was paid"

 Observing the usual custom no paper will be issued from this office tomorrow on account of the national holiday.
 Mont Pelee seems to have been abandoned as a news center. Moth ing has been heard from the "crater" for several weeks now.
 According to U. s. Consul Deide- richs, at Bremen, the reduction of the acreage of this years beet sugar crop in Germany amounts to only r per cent, which is a considerably less reduction than was expected, in view of the repeal of the bounty laws.
 The first session of the Forty seventh congress has to its credit the repeal of the war revenue tax law. the initiation of the Panama canal. the inauguration of civil government in the Philippines and the formula ton of a system of federal irrigation.
 "The cantankerousiy litigious" people in England and Wales. as the London Express describes them. must be extraordinarily numerous. The statistics show that during the year 1900 an average of one person out of every twenty-five went to law about something.
 It is stated that more private len- sion bills have been passed at this session of Congress than during any previous sessisn. It is worthy of re- mark that the democrats have grown sufficiently wise not to tilibuster against this class of bills, as has been their custom heretofore.
 The war department is preparing a "Pronouncing Gazetteer and Geo. graphical Dictionary of the Philip pine Islands, with maps, charts and illustrations" From the advance proofs it would appear that no more useful publication has been issued by the government for years.
 After spending unlimited time and labor preparing speeches on the Philippine question the democrats have been brought to a realization of the fact that the American people have no sympathy with the policy ol ''scuttle" and now they are trying to create a belated issue out of the ''trusts."

more quickly than would have been possible if we had fought against the volcanic explosion of feeling and en- deavored to cool ourselves by more gradual and rational methods"
 Such celebrations, in the Lancet's opinion, are the "culmination of the seismic social disturbance. We shout, laugh and sing until the lava of jubi- lation has run out and we can rest lapped in the peace that follows in an irresistible letting go." Such ebullitions, if good for the commun- ity, involve a confession, according to the Lancet, "that the march of civili- zation has not modified human na- ture so much as might be believed. The world is very much as it was long ago. There is the same tendency toward explosiveness and mind storms. It takes very little to seduce the sedate citizen into the ''hOoliganism" of the man of the street. When those who celebrate the Fourth of July with cannon crackers, giant torpedos and muskets are making the earth an inferno to all who prefer peace and quietude to noise and patriotism, let us console ourselves with the thought that it might be worse. Unless the seismic social disturbance" finds vent and the Java of jubilation runs out" the volcanic patriotism of those who signalize the ''Glorious Fourth" by making nervous people wretcbed might eliminate in an explosion that would be far more destructive than our usually disastrous celebrations. But for all that it behooves us to be more than ordinarily watchful at such a dry time as the present, against the possible disasters that may follow the usual faults of July explosions. The object lessons that have been given us in Albuquerque and in neighboring towns during the past few days, should very forcibly impress upon our minds the serious results liable to follow the careless dropping of a single spark at a time like this when everything is in such a highly combustible state. We would not deny the small boy his fire cracker nor the boy of larger growth his cannon cracker, but when every thing out of doors Is a veritable tin der box, waiting for a spark, there are considerations of prudence and safety that would seem to require that such demonstrations be carried beyond the city limits or in certain open spaces, and not promiscuously in every part of town.

NEW MExICo'S HARD LUCK.

The Albuquerque Citizen, discuss ing the failure to pass the statehood bill, has the following to say on the subject:
 Delegate Rodey of New Mexico, is indignant at the failure of the om- nibus territorial bill to pass congress this session, but he is hardly justi- fled in feeling discouraged over the outlook or in proposing to the other territorial delegates that they shall all resign on account of the treat ment, says the St. Louis Globe Dem ocrat. New Mexico has had longer territorial probation than any other community has had in the whole his tery of the country, except, of course, the District of Columbia, which is sometimes called a territory, but which never expects to attain any other statute.
 Utah's woes in this direction were mourned by many persons outside of as well as inside of the locality, but Utah had far less cause to complain than has New Mexico. Both of these were organized as territories together, about ffty-two years ago, the acts under which they were created being part of the series of deals collectively called the compromise of 1850, but Utah has been a state since 1896. More than half a century ago a state hood bill was proposed in congress. Forty-six statehood bills altogether have been introduced for that terri tory. Eighteen times has such bill passed one or the other branch of congress, and in 1876 one of them passed both branches, but it failed in the conference committee. The bill of 1902, which was expected to pass before this time, has been postponed to December.
 But there is no need for discour- agement at the outlook. The chances are that the territorial admission bill will pass next winter. The principal reason assigned for its postponement was the lack of time at the present session to consider it. The Cuban, Philippine and Isthmian canal bills have taken up much time, and. of course, the regular appropriation bills and other routine measures had to be attended to. All of these except the appropriation bills will be out of the way for good by the close of the pres ent session, which the republican leaders are anxious to end early in July. The prospects are that all the territories will be admitted at the coming session.
 Congress adjourned Tuesday, July l.
 The Postal Telegraph company has acquired the control of the telegraph lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad company.
 Regarding the statehood situation the Denver Post says that inasmuch as both republican and democratic national conventions endorsed the measure in their platforms, it is diff | cult to see how any serious, organ ized opposition can be developed, and | it is therefore altogether likely that | the friends of statehood will be tri- 1 umphant at the next congress thanks largely to the firm and, con sistent stand taken by Senator Quay. The Post and other papers which refer to the national platforms of both parties favoring statehood, | seem to forget that each contained mental reservation providing for the territories going its way in politics.
