For the benefit of new friends a
short outline of the plot Is given.
The scene is Eastbourne, the home
of Lord Roderick, rich old In
vale, upon whose demise depends
the earthly prosperity OF Lord"Bob-
by" Bedford, a bankrupt, who has
come to E lstbourne to escape his
creditors and incidentally on his
wedding tour. Miss Honorah
Hawkins Is a rich but vulgar cock
ney girl. who has applied to mat
rlmouial agency run BY Julius Up
pic, to whom also Lord Bobby owes
money. The Hebrews plan, not
knowing of his Lordship's marriage
Is to wed him 10 Miss Hawkins, and
complications ensue upon Lord
Bobby's pretense to agree to the
match.
Oae Of the funniest characters In
the piece Is an IriShmsn named
McGinnis masquerading a. a
Scotchmap. He wants to marry
Miss Hawkins, and arranges
to exchange clothes with Lord
Bobby taking his place as the bride
groom In a mock marriage per
formed by the Rev. Jonathan Job
Meacham, alias "Slippery Jack" a
confidence man who Is working
the watering place. By this time
all the characters are In a dreadful
mix-up. but timely telegram an
nouncing the decease of Lord Rod
erick straightens out matters ere
the curtain falls.

CONTEST FOR STATEHOOD
ARIzQNA'S CLAIM PRESENTED
There Was a Flow Of Oratory and
Presentation of Cold Facts
Last Night.
Members of the Committee Appeared Friend
ly, But Oklahoma and Indian Territory
Create Confusion

WASHINGTON. d. C., Feb. Last
night was given to Arizona by the
House Committee on Territories.
1t might properly be described as a
great event for Arizona, as the re-
sources of the Territory, the character
Of Its population. the patriotism and
education of its people. and its ability
to govern itself as State. were set
forth with eloquence and force.
There was full membership of the
committee present and large crowd
of spectators, largely from arizona.
Speeches were made by Governor Muir
ply. by Mr.. B. A. Fowler, a member
OF the last Legislature. by Delegate
Smith and others.
The praises of Arizona were sound
ed without limit. Statistics were pro-
duced to prove its wealth, It's history
was carefully reeited and the patriot
ism. public spirit and intelligence of
its people praised.
Delegate Smith Is a member of the
COMMITTEES, and closed the discussion
The Tucson citizen., 1902-02-01

in favor of Statehood with an eloquent
plea to his colleagues of the commit
tee to report his Statehood bill favor
ABLY.
There is not much doubt that the
members of the committee were IA
vorably impressed with the presenta-
ton OF Arizona's case. rhe questions
asked the speakers by members of
the committee indicated friendliness.
In few days the committee will
meet to consider the Statehood bills.
The relations OF Oklahoma and Indian
Territory are confusing and embar-
RAISING. Some residents of both Ter
ritories advocate the admission of
10th as one State, while others want
separate Statehood. This confusion
may delay action by the committee,
but the prediction is made that ulti-
mately bills admitting Oklahoma,
Arizona and New Mexico to Statehood
will be favorably reported and that
Indian Territory will be ignored for
the present.

a Roman penny and was stamped in

throughout the Roman Empire when
Christ said to His apostles: Give me
penny" The coin was presented to
the father of Mr.. Harris by Dr. Robert

has silver in 1t and is worth about Is
cents, and is stamped on the reverse
side the head of Hadrian and the
words in Latin. "Hadrin. Emperor of
Rome" while on the diverse side is a
crude figure of Victory.

Exciting Elopement
Jumped from Window

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Feb. ben
Scott, well-known young railroad
official, and Miss Zola Davis, pretty
girl of 16, figured in sensational
elopment this morning. The young
man had been forbidden to CALL by
her father, Robert Davis, or account
of her youth. Mr.. Davis suspected
that something was brewing and sent
the girl to her room early in the even
ing. ,s@R
While the father was standing at
the front door watching for Scott, the
young man slipped to the back OF
the house and caught the girl in his
arms as she jumped from the window.
A carriage was nearby and the couple
drove Immediately to minister's
house and were married before the
father found out that the girl had left
her room.

Postal Clerks Bill
Again Up in Congress

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The postal
clerks of the country are again renew
ing the attempt which they make with
every new Congress to get bill pass
ed which will raise their salaries au-
tomatically. year after year, until a
certain maximum is reached. The bill.
or something like it, has been before
Congress for many years, but without
success, and the outlook for it this
year is no better than usual. 1t has
been introduced in the House and
Senate. and Is before the Post Off 20
Committees.
The claim of the clerks Is that they
ought to be entitled to regular ad-
vance in salary. At present they enter
the service at salary of $500 a year
They want a bill passed compelling an
increase of 800 year until $1,000 IS
reached, and providing that at the dis
cretion of the Post Office Department
the increase may rise to $1,400. They
claim that the promotions now made
depends entirely upon the wishes of
their superiors, and that they ought
to be regulated by laws as those of the
letter carriers are.
Chairman Loud of the Post Office
Department Committee says that IN
his judgment mandatory increase of
salary is bad in policy and that pro-
motions should be only for merit. II
consider it demoralizing," he said ito
pass law which will compel the pro-
motion of excellent clerks, good
alike, without the slightest regard for
their qualifications don't think it
we'll to say to clerk when he enters
the service. 1T makes no difference
whether you do your work perfunctor-
ly or excellently, you will be pro-
moted at the end of the year If you
do it only tolerably you will be pro-
NOTED exactly the same as the man
by your side who puts his whole
heart in it.
THE present system isn't an ideal
merit system, but 1t is getting there.
1t gets nearer to the ideal merit system
all the time, and some day it will be
purely a merit system. Progress should
be along that line, and not in the
direction of wiping out what approach
to merit system there already is"
