"LITTLE LORD FACNTLEROY."
A Classic Of childhood Successfully Re
yived at the Casino.

A Classic Of ChlldhO0d sUccessfuIiy Ne

Little Lord Fauntleroy' bids fair to
become a classic Of childhood. The Casino
was crowded at its revival yesterday after
noon by an appreoiative audience OF women
and children. There were men. too, who
wiped unwilling eyes at the pathos.
Old timers now speak OF early casts
and FIRST performances OF this pretty
and highly artificial play. Mrs. Hode-

looked critically severe. has really written

the little angel should have the hose turned

ever. children cry for him and grown folk
love him, 30 let us be the last to shrug critical

THE BOARD OF TRADE
Union Depot aud Other Things
 Taken Up. /.

The board Of trade is moving in the direction of securing a. union railroad depot for Phoenix. The matter came up last night at the regular monthly meeting of the directors. It was sug- gested to the board by the recent pur
 chase by the Maricopa x Phoenix & Salt River Valley railroad of a tract Of ground in the vicinity of the s. F.. P. G r. depot, it's declaration of an in- tentioE to extend it's tracks to that point and to build a depot there. It was the opinion or the directors that it would be a good thing for the rail-
 roads and for the travelling public if the two roads would build a joint de- pot. The subject was referred to a committee consisting of Messrs Fowl CT. Talbot and Oberfelder. who will confer with the officials of both roads.
 The present disgraceful condition of Central avenue. to which frequent ref ereuce has been made by The Republi- can, came up. It had been expected

that those who were interested in the betternent of that thoroughf2re would say something to the board of super visors about it and an intimation had been made that any suggestion looking to a restoration of the street would be listened to with patience. but nothing has been done excepting the making or complaint about the deepening dust The board. realizing that that Is one of the most attractive drives out of Phoenix. is of the opinion that it should be restored before the beginning of the next tourist season. The matter had been referred to a committee whose members are Messrs. O'Neill and Mar shall
 Mir w. B. Cleary was before the board on the part of the Spanish Amer ican residents of the city, recently or ganized as the Junta Patriotica for the celebration Of the anniversary of MeXi- can independence. 1t is proposed by the junta to give d celebration cover ing three days and it is desired that special railroad rates may be secured and it was thought that the board could furnish assistance in bringing the reduced rates about. Messrs. Talbot and O'Neill were delegated to assist in procuring the special rates. and Mir. Landis of the Santa Fe. who was pres ent. announced that his road would make a round trip rate.
 Secretary St. Claire of the Arizona board of managers of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition asked the assist ance of the board in getting up a suit able display for this county. In re- sponse to his request the board adopt ed a resolution pledging itself to do what it could in the way of securing an exhibit that would reflect credit upon the county.

ADJUSTMENTS


Another large and delighted audience saw the production of the beautiful story play. "Infelice," at the Eastlake park last night. The company was at it's best and gave the best of satisfac ton. This excellent company are win ming new friends at every performance. Their performance last night proves that they have much dramatic talent, and are improving rapidly under care full stage direction. The production came near being perfection as far as the stage room would permit. and re- fleets great credit on the entire cast. It may be interesting to some O know that the part of Infelice was the part that first brought Viola Allen into prominence, Henry Miller playing the opposite part of the father. It has al- ways been a successful play, dealing with a subject which. while old to everyday life. is new to stageland.
 Mir. Wilfred Lucas as the father gave fine rendition of the difficult part. and moved his audience to tears in all of his strong scenes. Miss Perrin in the name part was delightful. Tonight will be the last opportunity to see this great play during this engagement. so a large crowd will no doubt be present. The dancing act of the Keltons as an added feature is a great success.

DISTRICT APPROPRIATIONS.
Chairman McCleary Discussed Provi
sions in the Bill,

In discussing the District Of Columbia APP
preparation bill Chairman McCleary said to
Star reporter today:
1.-The committee has tried it's best to pre-
sent bill which covers all essentials for
the District Of Columbia and at the same
time prevent the District from running
into debt. We have provided everything
that is required in the way of sinking
fund; we have provided for the extension
of the water system, the filtration plant,
the sewage disposal system, everything
called for in the way of new school build
ings. In the police service We gave the in
crease asked for-forty more officers. For
the fire department we also complied with
the requests for increasing the service.
We have not tncrea Sed salaries with the
exception of a. very few instances. We
raised the salary of the chief Of police
from $1,000 to $1,000 simply and solely on
the ground of the well-known efficiency Of
Major Sylvester. which has given him a
national reputation.
Sidney Bieber. the fire marshal, also got
slight increase-also on the ground of
merit. Most of the increases, however,
were in salaries amounting to less than 5000
annually"
The new District appropriation bill, as
reported to the House today. was received
at the District building with anything but
enthusiasm. 1t was hoped by the Commits
sioners and heads of departments alike that
a liberal bill would be provided in view
Of the probable adjustment of the financial
difficulties through $10.o00O00 loan from
the United States treasury. The fact that
the bill carries more than three-quarters of
a million less than the current appropria-
tions for the District government is natu-
rally the cause for the lack of enthusiasm
in District circles.
