House Perfumery a New Faa.

In the homes of the rich and in the
expensive hotels nowadays it almost in
variably will be found that the faintest
suggestion of some beautiful ollor per-
meates entrance halls, corridors. draw
ing rooms and sleeping apartments. 1t
has nothing in common with the nauSeat-
ing smell that comes from the burning
Of the ordinary everyday pastille. The
delicate odor, which is one Of the latest
fadS of the wealthy. is costly thing
to provide. The apparatus for produc-
ing the scented atmosphere is of two
kinds, one 4 bronze vase. the other a cut
glass jar, powder being burned in The
first and liquid in the second.
The bronze vases are sold in shops that
deal III eastern wares, and. although not
any larger than the average teacup, sell
for SO to $50. They are fitted with 4
perforated cover, and in the bowl Il scent
I'd powder is placed that costs s. for
half Il pound, this amount lasting only
two days, when used all the time, as
these incense burners are. The cut-gaSs
Jars have the same kind of a cover and
cost $40 each, the liquid burned in them
costing $1.50 for a two-ounce bottle
In use the vases and jars are placed
IN the lower hall of a small house or one
in each hall of Il big one, and are lighted
IN the morning by an early rising Sery
ant, and from that time until late mt
night are never permitted to go out the
odor escaping through the pcrforations in
the covers Of the vessels. In the fash
i0nable hotels the same effect is produced
by scattering Il heavily scented powder
over the carpets in the halls and corri-
doris in the early morning hours. The
composition of this powder used in no.
tells is guarded and it is impossible TO
learn from the employer what it is or
where it may be obtained.-New York

POST OFFICE SCANDAL
How It May or May Not Affect
 Phoenix.

Postmaster McClintock of this city was asked if the recent scandals m the postodice department at Washington are likely to affect the Phoenix post office in any manner. The question was suggested by a dispatch stating that about 5000 promotions ordered by MT Beaver had been cancelled.
 The reply was that so far as promo tions are concerned it is not likely the Phoenix office will be affected but the same scandals may retard the installa- ton of fourth rural free delivery route here.
 The most of the promotions referred to were clerks in frst-class offices. as the carriers and many of the other clerks are under civil service. In the Phoenix office there is but one clerl, who received a promotion under the Beaver administration and it is not likely he will be affected.
 Regarding the rural route it has been mapped out and arranged for and it was expected that it would be in-

 The department is we'll pleased with routes l, and 3, that have been run from this office now long enough to prove the value of the service as well as it's successful management. Ac- cording to the reports. route No. is one of the largest rural routes in the entire country, in respect of the quanti- ty of mail handled.

DR.. James L. Gartrell was hung on
q scaffold, erected on the north side
OF the jail, Friday, April 18th, 1908.

the trap which sent his soul to its
judgment.

part OF the night. He awoke early

vile, were the physicians present in
an official capacity. The ministers
Of the town spent the morning with
him offering spiritual consolation.
Sheriff Smith read the death warrant,
to the reading OF which DR.. Gartrell
paid close attention. He was very
particular about his clothes and per.
sonal appearance. He became death
ly sick as the hour approached for
the execution, and it was feared that
he would have to be strapped to a
board, but he rallied and was able to
walk to the scaffold assisted by dep
uties Jack Spicer, Dixie McCann and
Richardson.
The stockade, 16 feet high and
large enough to admit about one
thousand persons, was filed before
nine o'clock, many women being
among the spectators. The very
best OF order prevailed.

treli appeared on the scaffold. Be.

were the two physicians mentioned
and the ministers.
