NORMAL NOTES.

A number of members of the council and house of representatives have vis- ited the normal within the last few days. Some of the visits have been un- official. but others have been made by the committees appointed from both branches to visit certain territorial in- Stitutions.
 On Friday morning last the Normal was inspected by a committee from the house, consisting of Hon. Kean St. Charles of MohaVe county, Hon. Joseph B. Henry of Gila county, and Hon. F. <. Ingalls, Of Yuma. The committee was accompanied by Mrs. St. Charles, Rev. F. s. Drew and pr. C. H. Jones of the normal board, the Hon. J. w. Woolf, Messrs. Carl Hayden. Webb and Daley. and Mir. Maclay, assistant chief clerk of the house MT.

Monday afternoon Hon. J. Fl. Kibbey of Phoenix and Hon. J. x. Woods of Navajo county, committee from the council, accompanied by Hon. w. A. Parr> of Navajo, Hon. J. w. Wooh and Dr. C. H. Jones, inspected the normal. Judge Kibbey and MT. Woolf briefly addressed the students in the assembly room before inspecting the buildings and grounds.
 Tuesday Hon. B. A. Packard of Co., chise and Hon. Joseph Corbett, member from Santa Cruz and Pima counties, paid the normal a brief visit, as did Hon. N. Gonzales of Apache county.
 Monday was the opening day of the second semester, and the programme of studies underwent considerable change in consequence. The new pro gramme seems to be working smoothly and by the end of the week it is more than likely that all conflicts will be definitely settled. Several new stu dents have registered. and the class rooms seem to be stretched to their utmost capacity.
 Professor Scudder of the Normal faculty, who has been confined to his home the past few days on account of illness, is again able to resume his duties.
 The Normal gardener is putting the Normal grounds in order in honor of spring. which is fast approaching He is setting out plants. trimming up the bushes, hedges and trees and smoothing the walks and drives.
 On Friday evening the Alpha society, assisted by the children of the training school, gave a very successful pro- gramme for the benefit of the Tempe free library. The evening was success full both artistically and financially. and the directors of the library and the members of the society are equally pleased. The programme opened by a series of flower songs by the training school chorus; then Miss Vensel, MT. Steinberger and Miss Harris recited very cleverly in each case; the train ing school presented a play, "The In ouisitive Prince" in a most delightful manner. The second part of the pre- gramme consisted of the play, "Dr Cure-All," presented by members or the Alpha society. Every character was we'll sustained. and the audience seemed much amused. The Normal Mandolin and Guitar club rendered several selec- tiOn5 during the evening The pro- gramme was presented under the direc- tion of Miss Daly and Miss Mathc-. the former directing the work of the alpha society and the latter of the training school.

ARCoLA CONGRATULATED.
On Account of Its Way of Settling the
 Coal Problem.

Coal Problem.
 Arcola, H.. January 31.-The excite ment attending the confiscation of a trainload of coal by a great crowd of Arcola citizens Saturday was practical fy brought to an end today, when set clement was made for the coal appro- priated. The coal was the property of the Centralia mining and msnufactur- ing company and was being shipped to Chicago when the train was held up and the coal distributed among the citizens of Arcola ~yho were in actual need
 The circumstances of the suffering and distress here were fully explained to the company and they agreed to set tie the matter upon receipt of money for the entire trainload. The bill, with the invoice by cars. was received today, and q check forwarded to cover the amount.
 Though the act of confscation was purely an open violation of the law. there has as yet no one offered a word of condemnation.
 Citizens who Were prominent in the raid are in receipt of hVndreds of tele- gams from people all over the country extending congratulations on the suc- cess of the raid and complimenting the citizens of Arcola upon their enthusias- tic and practical solution of the fuel problem. Congratulatory messages have been received from almost every state in the union, many of them be- ing from persons of prominence. The leaders of the raid ane being deluged with requests for photos and auto graphs.
 From the tone of many or the letters received the indications are that other cities suffering for want of coal will follow Arcola's example. In fact, al- ready three towns in this portion of the state have confiscated enough coal to meet their immediate wants.
