The Library Party a Great Success

. AHS 6AOA y - 0A$ot OuSSCSS,
 Enveloped in flood of electric light softened by the artistic blending of the national and oriental cOlors, enlivened by the presence of contented, happy thrOng, Elks' hall on Tuesday night was the scene of surpassing beauty a picture for an artist. The occasion was the Boston Library Party" Some preferably called it Bazaar" But the name doesn't matter-it was great. The proceeds are to go into library fund. The affair was planned. man. aged and carried to a successful conclu- sion by Mrs. Dr. Bailey. ably assisted by Mrs. Burt Dunlap and Mrs. Heron. Of course in the carrying out of details assistance was required of number of other ladies. and loyally was it given. There were booths in which articles were offered for sale-and they did a thriving business. The booths, with the names of their fair managers, were:
 The Fortune Tellers- Mrs. Burt Dun lap and Mrs. Dr. Herren.
 Art Gallery-Mrs. Horace k. Dun- lap and Mrs. J. A. Ketcherside.
 POstoffice- Misses White and Day Everybody got letter that was will- ing to pay for one.
 Candy Misses Wallace, Greenleaf. PolhAmus, Boyer and Day.
 Japanese Miss Faber, Mrs. Joe Ro- nero, Miss Lizzie Frank and Mrs. Ken ton.
 Fancy Work k-The Misses Balsz and Miss Zelda Brown,
 Fish Pond-Mrs. Geo. Talley and Miss Pearl Evans.
 The cake and lemonade table was taken care of by Mrs. S. Hackett. Mrs. W. H. Elliott and Miss Margaret Har- ringtOn.
 Coffee was served by Mrs. R. P. H . Laney, assisted by Misses Miles and Godfrey.
 After the grand march those who were costumed passed in review be- fore the udges-CrOuch, Ingraham and Smith-who awarded the prize for the best costume-the truest to the subject of which it was emblematic-to Miss Norton, teacher at the Fort Yuma Indian school. The title of the book represented by Miss Norton was "A Daughter of the Sioux
 The prize oil painting magnificent woodland scene by Mrs. Dr. Bailey was drawn by Miss Lizzie Frank.
 The most beautiful representation of a book was that of Louise Alcott's Little Women, "by Geneiere Rimpau, Irene Blaisdell and Sheriff Livingston two little girls. They were captivat- ing.
 A beautiful wedding cake was auc- tioned off for $6,00 and ring cake en- riched the library fund two dollars more.
 There was spirited contest among vendors of admission tickets to the Bazaar, the first prize, S2.00, being won by Miss Ruth Bowman; Mabel Aims worth was close second in number of tickets sold and captured the second prize of $l.50.
 The arrangement of the booths with reference to position and color effects, the hali decorations, the pretty girls, the merry throng of people, combined to produce most fascinating picture. The harmony was perfectly preserved and pervaded the whole, the credit of which is largely due to Mrs. Bailey, who is an artist of merit.
 Financially, too, the affair was quite satisfactory, the net receipts being about Sl25. which speaks we'll for the good people of Yuma, who always re- spond hberally in aid of good cause.

Transforming the Dessert.

The United States department of az riculture is completing plans for the opening of six experiment. stations in California, all to be devoted to vineyard work. Of these one will be established in the heart of the Mojave Desert, and is expected to solve a number of the problems that have long perplexed the grape growers of the southwest.
 Especial attention is to be given to the Corinth grape, the variety from which the Zante entrants of commerce are produced. Heretofore the problem of producing d seedless Corinth grape in this country has failed of solution. Although grown from cuttings brought from Greece they have, in every in- stance. developed the objectionable seeds.
 The work of the desert station in particular will be watched with es- pecial interest by the vitaculturists of the southwest.

with war and the alarms Of battle
sounding through it. Though dealing
with incidents of the civil conflict,
and Notwithstanding that the war SEN
timent is a strong motive in the ac-
tion-and, by the way ii differs from
most war plays in the Southern sym
pathy it arouses-the battles are only
in the distance, the war a mere back
ground to the love story of Charlotte
Durand and the Confederate officer,
Edward Ferry. OF stirring incidents
there is an abundance; of dramatic
action there is plenty, but sentiment,
strong and attractive, dominates.
The heroine is a spirited and ro-
mantle Southern woman, whom cir
cumstances and her temperament con-
vert into a rebel spy. The obstacle
in the course of true love is the fact
that Charlotte has been tricked into
a marriage with Capt. Oliver and on
the evening of her marriage has dis
covered his true character and that
he is devoid of all honorable instincts.
oliver is not only a bad lot in his
private life, but at the time of his
marriage has become a traitor to the
cause his wife has at heart, having
from base personal motives become
q Northern spy. On learning this Char
lotte utterly repudiates him. To eX-
pose him would be to condemn him
to be shot after a drumhead trial.

The play is laid in the period di-

with the race question in a most di-
