Mrs. Captain Phillips has just COM
pleted a very fine painting of Thumb
Butte, with banner hanging on its
side with a very finely executed pic
ture of the California limited train of
the Santa Fe. In the corner of the
picture are lot of Santa Fe time
schedule folders, so natural looking
that if one were about to start off on
journey he might be tempted to try
to pick one of them up. The picture
has been elegantly framed and is on
exhibition in the office of H. P Ane-
walt. but will probably be sent east
to ornament some hotel office.

Visiting cards as we'll as those for
other social uses must conform to &C
cepted ideas of good form. The
proper visiting card for a lady is
large and almost square; a mans card
is oblong in shape. The paper is I'M
glazed and of fine texture. There is
a choice of several styles of engrav-
ing, shaded old English, black old
English, Roman, block or script,
each being correct, though the first is
perhaps most favored at present
Odd or ornate effects are not allow
able The Delineator for May con-
tains a fine display of fashionable
cards which may be consulted with
entire confidence as to correctness.
Active work was begun this morn
ing in razing the old opera house.

hill for a number of years and has
served its day all right but it is back

old land marks has been compelled to
give way to the onward march of
progress By the time the next opera
season opens Prescott will likely have
a fine, up to date opera house, one
that will tend to bring the best COM
