MARCONI'S BOYHOOD.

SILVER JUBILEE
Garden Valley Lodge No. I OCT. to
Celebrate Her 25th Anniversary.

Just twenty-five years ago this month
the first Good Templars' lodge was or
Sanized in Arizona, and it has contin-
ued in active service down to the pres
ent day. At that time Arizona was at
tached to the jurisdiction of Califor, ia
and a commission was sent to DR.. J. T.
Wharton to institute the lodge, and he
was chosen its first chief templar The
lodge was christened Garden Valley.
No. 1, and the original charter. bearing
date of March l, 1873, still adorns The
lodge room.
1t is the proud boast of the members
that this charter has never been turned
to the wall during all these years. It
has been the custom of the lodge for
some years past to celebrate it's birth
days as they recur and this year
special efforts will be made to fittingly
commemorate the passing of the TWEEN
ty-fifth mile stone. The exercises will
be held in the Fifth Avenue Christian
church on Monday evening, March %,
when the lodge will be pleased to well
come all friends who will attend. a
special invitation is extended to all
former members to be present, as the.
services will partake somewhat of the
nature of a reunion.
An attractive programme has been
prepared, which will be given by pasi
and present members OF the lodge, in
Guiding brief addresses, recitations and
musical selections. Not the least inter
esting feature of the evening will be
the reading of congratulatory MESA ges
from the Hon. Robert Thompson of San
Francisco, who. as grand chief templar
of California, signed the charter ii
1873 and who now past eighty years
of age and still an active Good Templar
Messages will also be read from th+
Hon. Joseph Mains of England, SUI
preme templar, and from several of the
past supreme templars and other prom

THE LEGISLATURE
Outline of the Work of the Next Four
Days.

All that will be dore by the Twenty
second session of the legislature will
have to be done in the next four days
Pretty much everything is now up to
the council. The matter of foremost in
terest is of course the Cowan bill
whose fate was regarded to be very
much in doubt. The ILL was trans
mitted to the council on Friday and
went on the table for legislative day
Tomorrow in the natural order of
things it will be referred TO a commit
tee. Ii the committee which will have
charge of it should be unfriendly, it
might hold it for five days, beyond the
life of the legislative session and it
would take in the meantime a two
thirds vote 30 recall il
1t was announced yesterday, how
ever, by members OF the council that
the bill would be passed. 1t was stat
ed that there would be no opposition to
it in whatever committee to which it
might be sent. 1t is known that five
members OF the council are opposed to
the bill but they will rot carry their
opposition any further and the bill
will be taken out of the committee and
passed.
There is also more than a possibility
that the a woman suffrage bill will be
passed by the council. 1t will not be
the house bill which Mr Morehead is
holding up in the committee on terri
torial affairs but the council bill in
troduced by DR.. Whiteside. 1t is said
that nine members have pledged them
SelveS to vote for the WhiteSide bill.
This bill is in no way different from
the house bill. 1t was underst ood
though that the house bill was passed
by the lower house with the under
standing that it would be defeated in
the council The council has deter
mined that if an equal suffrage meas
ure is defeated it will have to be done
by the house. The council Will not be
the scape goat for the sins of the
lower house.
The next most important matter is
the sheep taxing bill which passed the
house last week as a condition prece-
dent to the passing of the Cowan bill
1t was then understood that the sheer
bill would be defeated in the council
or it would not have passed the house
Its enemies would have sacrificed the
Cowan bill il it had been necessary to
do So
Beyond these three measures the
only bill Of interest is a house bill for
the encouragement of railroad con-
struction and two or three other bills
of the same kind providing for tax ex-
emptions.

soning Steak.

Two distinguished looking men sat
in Chicago cafe last Wednesday even
ing, porting over he bill of fare, says
the Inter Ocean. From the CONVERSE
ton it was plainly seen that one was a
resident of this city. The other wore
pompadour hair, flowing mustach, and
goatee characteristic of the Mexican.
His English carried the soft accent
that is heard at Monterey or Santa
Cruz.
After the two men had read through
the .meu card the Chicagoan pulled his
spectacIes from his nose and said: Let
it he nice steak for two. This place
is famous for its sirloins:-
Very WELL" answered the Mexican.
let it be a steak. Here, waiter, nice
double sirloin and be sure it Is the best
you have.
Half an hour later the steak wos on
the table. The Chicago man leaned
over and looked at the meat and then
said, Very fine indeed. This place, as
l said, has always been famous for its
steaks"
Were you ever in Mexico?" asked
the man with the pompadour. IF you
have never been. you can OF speak with
authority o steaks. Nowhere else in
the world do they know how to serve
them so well. There VIC have our man;
piquant sauces and our spicy herbs for

sAcRILEGIOUs CONTRACTOR
The Inr. ads Made Upon the Cause OF
Religion in Prescott.

A special session of Lodge 3. p. o.
E. No. 3SS has been called for the con-
sidcration Of the case of Contractor
Webster who has been charged with
sacrilege. There are Ecod many peo-
pie at the bottom OF the accusuation
but the moving spirit seems to be Mr..
A., C Mcqueen. Mr.. Webster says
that it is a ease of black mail. That
he has a mule at Mr.. Mcqueen sjTanch
and that Mr.. Mcqueen has demanded
I bill of sale fer the animal. telling him
that if it was not made cut he would
secure publication in the Republican OF
the facts of the alleged sacrilege. Mr..
Webster refused to maize out the bill
of sale and the facts CT the case are
herein presented.
Some time ago Mr. Webster was
engaged in doing some grading in
Prescott, in that part of the town
known as West Prescott The South
Methodist church is located in that
part of the town and the church mas or
rather it had before the operations OF

some blasting had to be done and the
sidewalk was laid on top Of the ground

suit the sidewalk was shot to pieces

left the jurisdiction OF the court o. that
! judicial district and announced that he
would refuse to be extradited. Mr.. Ed

paid and he wrote II Mr.. Webster

The contractor later sent the money
to Mr.. Edwards by Mr.. Mcqueen who
| brought back the following receipt
which he refused to surrender but held
over the head of Mr.. Webster to get
the bill of sale for the mule:

communication, and you have to travel out in the rains or the night with small guard and half dog en inemen to repair the break. Then the white ants are bother, for they eat the woodwork of the poles in places in a few months and the pole topples over. Then there are the gales that sweep debris on the wires and stop operations. Earthquakes have occurred twice in the past year with such violence that the wires have been wrecked along mountain sides by landslides. It is hard work for the noncommissioned officers and the privates of the corps, as well as for the commissioned officers; but all work well together and with will that is astonishing. The result is that communication is maintained between all these posts in the south ern portion of Mindanao, about the seat of the recent Moro troubles of Lake Lanoa.
 In establishing signal stations the corps has taken advantage of every opportunity offered by the forts left cS SdSy Oy opdLAs WACuCVcI pOS- sible the stations are established in these almost impregnable strong holds. The little towers set aside for signal purposes offer no possible means of entering at the front or sides, because. of the walls of solid masonry, and even the rear door, which affords an entrance, is as a rule 25 or 30 feet from the ground, and reached by steps that can hauled up at night or when an enemy ap- breaches. It was the policy of Spain to secrete her troops within these fortresses rather than push them in to the open to do battle with the natives.
 But these towers offer > no safe guard for the men whose duties take them into the forests to repair breaks in the line, and it has been while performing these duties that several members of the corps have lost their lives at the hands of the natives, who lie in wait securely screened by the dense underbrush. Even at his station the signal man has not always the protection af- loIueu py CAose 1orIFesseS, Tor the American army has pushed so far be- yond the bounds occupied by Spain as to leave the towers far behind, and the telegraph wires have fol- lowed every movement of the army.

prove a remedy for many existing ills in the army.
 In general way, the new staff is but a board of directors for the army, with the president and secretary of war as president and vice president of the organization. When completely or ganized it will be composed of 43 mem bers, of which Gen. S. B. M.. Young will be the chief. He will have as- sociated with him two general officers, Maj. Gen. Henry c. Corbin and Brig. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss. Four colonels, six lieutenant colonels, 12 majors and 20 captains complete the personnel of the new corps.
 The head of the9c corps will be chief of staff to the president. He will act as advisers to the president, to the sec retary of war and also to the chiefs of the bureaus in the war department.
 The chief duties of the staff will be to prepare for war in time of peace. It will arrange the, details having ref erence to the transportation and mobil ization of troops at every point. It will prepare for the esta blishment of supply depots, and arrange for the pro- curing of supplies 3n sufficient quanti- ties to feed an army. of almost any size the country may need in time of war. It will secure information that may be desirable in time of war, as to the strength and resources of all pos- sible enemies, and outline campaigns to meet all possible contingencies. In fact, it is expected that it will tend to correct the many serious errors into
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-05-21

which the army fell during the war with Spain, and later in the Philip pines. It will in fact prepare for war on paper, so that when war comes, no matter where or with whom, the plans for mobilization and campaigns will be at hand, and not have to be made in the rush of an emergency ..
 Four years is the length of time which an officer may serve on the gen. eral staff. At the end of that time he must go back to his duties in the line or field. Nor can favoritism be shown in the selection of officers for duty on the staff The president appoints only the general officers of the staff, while the staff itself names the other officers to fill all vacancies that may occur in it's ranks, no matter what the cause of the vacancy may be, and the selections are to be for merit alone.
 This new change in our military or ganization places the lieutenant gen. eral of the army in an entirely new po- sition. Under the old rule he has been in name the commanding general of the army, a position which has meant much or little at different times. Un- der the new rule the lieutenant gen. eral may or may not be chief of the general staff, as the president pleases, or he may be assigned to command of but department of the army.
