imagines that such was his happy fate

/ Max Pernberton insists on having a

vises the aspirant to write a novel

Garland, Cy. Warman, Stewart Ed
ward White, Owen Wister, and a host
of Western and Southern writer's of
our own country believe that one
should first live the life and then tell
it truly. Booth Harrington exclaims:
eYou must see it first, but you may
see it in your minds eye" Curiously
enough, Mr. Harrington pictures all Of
his stories out first on paper and then
proceeds to the writing.

There is a young lawyer about to
take ex-Gov. Altgelds place in a prom
ipent Chicago law firm, named Mr..
Brand Whitlock, who, besides being
capable lawyer, deserves also to be
ranked as one of the best political fic-
ton writer's living. The truth of this
statement has doubtless been impressed
uron the minds of many who have
read his short stories in the maya
zines, though the fact escaped the no
tice of many. No one, however, who
reads THE Thirteenth District will
mistake the authors standing. for this
first book is a wonderful picture of one
phase of politics. and the story which
runs through the book has all the ele-
ments of actually. Indeed, Mr.. Whit
locks high standing as political fic-
zionist comes from the fact that he
writes political truth. His characteri-
cations in THE Thirteenth District"
are doubtless pen portraits. Once the
author allows himself an expression OF
his appreciation of Altgeld under
thinly yelled guise.
Mr. Whitlock was for several years
a newspaper man, working in Chicago
and also in Springfield as legislative
correspondent. In his first long story
he has chosen the Thirteenth district
of Illinois and the tale relates the rise,
progress and downfall of a congress-
man. The book has not been recognized
properly as yet. but it will be, and the
future work of the author may be
watched with much expectation.

WILSON--c
"A Very Pretty Wedding at the Catholic Church this Morning.

A quiet, but very pretty wedding took place at the Catholic church thi, morning at s o'clock, which joined the hearts and hands of two of Pres cott's most popular young people l The above happy pair-now made lone-were Miss Agnes Conlon and Samuel G. Wilson. There were only few of the intimate friends and rel atives of the couple present, but the church was prettily decorated for the occasion.
 The ceremony was performed by Father Ferd Pietz, who is in charge of the church here during Father Quetu's absence, and low mass was said during the ceremony, which was very beautiful and impressive.
 The bride was attended by her niece, Miss Etta De Witt, and was plainly but very tastefully attired. The groom was attended by Fred Kessler. Major William De Witt presented the bride to the groom at the alter.
 After the ceremony at the church the wedding party drove to the resi- dence of Major De Witt where we'd ding breakfast was served, and the numerous and costly presents were displayed, and the hearty congratu- lations of friends were extended.
 They left on the II o'clock train for trip of several days to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
 These young people who start out on life's journey together with such bright and promising prospects, and with the best wishes of so many of our people are among the best known and most highly respected of Pres cott's order of young folks, the bride having resided in Prescott since early girlhood and by her kindly and lov- able disposition has made fast friend of every acquaintance. MT. Wilson, the groom, came here about three years ago from Vassar, Michi- gan to'accept position with the New York store, one of the largest mer- cantile institutions in the territory, and by his faithful attention to duty, and splendid ability as salesman of the firm place he now ably fills.
 Mir. and Mrs. Wilson will be at home to their friends about August 20, at the cottage recently occupied by Attorney Job on Mt. Vernon avenue.

NEWS. NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The Pennsylvania Railroad com pany has agreed to refund to passen- gers Sl for every hour its new twenty hour train between New York and Chicago is late. The company feels that it can easily make the run on the twenty hour schedule and has agreed to abide by the consequences if it does not. The time limit of refund ing is four hours. Later than that the company does not refund.
 Henry T. Duke and Alexander A. Robertson, formerly cashier and pay ing teller, respectively, of the Wells Fargo bank in Salt Lake, appeared before Judge Morse in the district court and pleaded guilty to embez- zling S60,000 from the bank. Each was sentenced to four years imprison- ment in the pen.
 A St. Vincent telegram says that several shocks of earthquake were ex- perienced there last Friday. Several buildings were damaged. There was no loss of life, but a great panic pre- vailed. The shocks were probably caused by subteuanean gas or stean explosions, as the saddle between the two craters of Soufriere volcano col lapsed, resulting in the fall of thou sands of cubic feet of sand and scoria rock into the funnel, thus blocking the throat of the crater.
 Captain Putnam B. Strong who threw up a commission in the army and deserted his family to elope with Lady Francis Hope, better kuown as May Yohe, has deserted the latter after pawning Sl00,000 worth of her jewelry. He wrote letters to his mother and to May Yohe saying he contemplated suicide.
 Fourteen prisoners in the county jail at Trinidad nearly gained their freedom the other night. Sheriff Clark and his jaIlers had been sus- picious for several days that the pris- oners were working some scheme to make their escape. A quiet watch was kept on them, and Tuesday night, after all the prisoners were locked in their cells, the sheriff made a thorough investigation of the jail. He discovered where they had been at work and thwarted their plans.

w. A. Clark is one of the most
 liberal of men in his political ideas At Butte, Montana, he owns and publishes a democratic paper, and was elected by the democrats to the United States senate. In Arizona his orders have always been to have his big mining camp roll up big dem ocratic majority; when on the witness stand recently in New York headmitted under oath that he had spent thous- ands of dollars to aid the election of a democratic candidate. In Utah he is credited with owning a controlling interest in a republican paper which pours hot shot daily into the demo- cratic camp in the most approved fashion.

NEW ARMY UNIFORMS.

The new army uniform adopted by the army board has been approved by President Roosevelt and Secre retary Root, and the order for the new uniform will go into effect Janu ary when officers of the army are tC be equipped according to the new regulations. Officers serving in the Philippines will be allowed to weal the old uniforms during their service there.
 Among the changes are the follow ing: The full-dress coat is about the same as at present, save that the but tons are more spreading, with orna. mentations on the sleeves and with the rank designated on the sleeve in. stead of on the shoulder knot. The dress coat will be what is called the dress blouse.
 A new dress uniform is provided consisting of sack coat of woolen or cotton material of an olive drab color with trousers to match. It is in tended to provide suits which can be worn in cold weather that are almost duplicate of the present khaki uni forms worn in warm weather and in the tropics. A new design for the overcoat is adopted, and is the only overcoat allowed. It is a double breasted ulster of olive drab woolen material. This overcoat is to replace the old dark blue overcoat now worn.
 General and staff officers are to have full-dress trousers, with gold lace as stripe, officers of the line wearing the present stripe to desig- nate the service. Brooches are pro- vided for all officers and men, whether mounted or dismounted, although trousers may be worn when in bar racks. Service brooches are also pro- vided to fit closely below the knee, extending to the top of the shoes.
 The chapeau is retained for general officers and officers of the staff de- partment to be worn with full-dress uniforms, but not to be worn when mounted.
 A new full-dress cap is provided, differing considerably from the pres ent cap in design and trimmings. Service caps are also provided, and the helmets are retained, as also are the present campaign hats.
 Shoulder straps are to be used only on the dress coat. On the service uni forms the straps now used with the khaki uniform will be retained.
 A new pattern of saber has been adopted for all officers in place of the sword now in use. Russet leather leggings are provided for all officers, to be worn with the service uniform, but canvas leggings can be worn in the field.
 The button is of a new design, to be of two sizes.
