Dr. Ivey closed with a pardonable
prophetic indulgence. He took a peep
into the future and saw instead of the
trees standing around about many lofty
structures, to set off the handsome build
ing Of the orphanage He saw the beauti-
ful smooth lawn In front, with the happy
children playing on it, hundreds of them
instead of the little group now being
cared for. He saw the superintendent with
his youth renewed the proud and happy
head of a great institution made posi-
bic by his own tireless work and energy.
He heard the hum of manufacturing in
dustry and of the trolley car not far
off.
Altogether it was fitting, timely
speech and evoked applause.
Following DIR. Ivey's speech came the
ceremony of the laying of the stone. The
Grand Lodge of Masons formed a line
around the stone and Grand Master H
T. Clark, of Scotland Neck, conducted the
ritual and laid the stone In it Superin-
tendent Jenkins placed a Bible, the Meth

A DIVERTED DINNER
How a Railway Official Nearly Missed
 One Altogether.

It has been learned that MT. H. P. Anewalt, of the $. F. & P. railroad, was deprived of his Thanksgiving din- ner. He had been laying for" the din ner for days. On the day before Thanksgiving he had come into pos session of the best turkey in Prescott, and before night he received. uneXpect- edIy, choice turkey hen from O. H. Christy, whose turkeys have become famous over the western part of the American continent. Both turkeys were put into the cellar of the Anewalt dom icile, along with all the celery and cranberries that should go with two turkeys.
 The next morning the cook made the astounding discovery that there were no turkeys. Neither Tas there any eel cry and the cranberrieS were also gone. So was the butter. There was not in ali Arizona a mere gloomy prospect. There wasn't q man In Prescott or any where else who had less to be thank full for thar Mir Anewalt. He was in worse shape than the most poverty stricken man in the community. That man. had met with no disappointment, hut Mir. Anewalt had worked up an ap- petite.
 The guileless cook believed that the Thanksgiving dinner had been stolen by Gogs. Mir. Anewalt might have ac- ceDted that theory as to the turkeys and the butter, but he could not see what the dogs wanted with his celery and cranberries.
 He at once set the police and the constabulary and the shrievaity 10 work to run down the thief and he pro- ceeded to rustic another turkey. He found a market just In time to buy the last one in Yavapai county. and had a sort of Thanksgiving dinner after all. He has ascertained that on the night of Thanksgiving there was a blowout in the neighborhOOd of Prescott, whose magnificence was apparently far te- yond the means of the promoters of it. and he learned that the list of guests included pretty much the whole oolored society of the town.

 As a car was passing the stables at Sixth avenue and Fifteenth street the other day a man on the car platform pulling on a cigar.
 No smoking in front of the station" said the conductor appealingly. The passenger obeyed. A block further up the conductor whispered, You can go ahead with your smoking now"

WEATHER FOR NOVEMBER
Bulletin For Last Ihonth Issued by
 Director BlyStOne.

Section Director Blystone of the weather bureau, last night issued bulletin of the weather and the con- ditions in the Arizona section for No Vember:
 Painless weather prevailed over Arizona throughout the entire month of November, and temperatures were generally above normal. The daily range of temperature was great, which rendered the nights cool, though the days were warm. There were, however. no severe weather conditions to cause stock to suffer.
 As a rule the ranges are in excel lent condition and afford abundant food for stock. The good rains of the latter part of September and the early part of October, following the gener- ally favorable conditions of the sum- mer caused a good growth of grass on the ranges, and-the dry weather of Oc- tober and November caused this to dry and cure as hay, so that the supply Of food now seems amply sufficient to af- ford abundant pasturage throughout the winter. The majority of cores pondents report the prospects for win ter food to be the best that have eX- isted for years. In a few localities, however, notably in Cochise county. reaI Naco, in Graham county near Central, in Maricopa county, and in Yavapai county, near Prescott, the supply of food is reported to be short and the prospects for the winter not good unless rains come sooC.
 The supply of stock water on the ranges is holding out fairly well. Tn parts of Cila, Graham, Yavapai and Yuma counties, however, the water in springs and water holes has already become very low, and although the supply is still abundant .n parts of the territory, it is believed that the di minishing supply will cause suffering among stock over a large part of the territory unlessl rains cone soon.
 With few exceptions, repovCs re- garding the condition of stock of all kinds indicate that it is exceptional ly good for the season of the year. Many correspondents report cattle to be fat, while the correspondent at Briggs, Yavapai county, reports that cattle in his section are also being slaughtered for market without the necessity of being fattened on addi- tional food. As a whole it may be said that the stock interests of this territory are in the most promising condition for years, unless losses should result from an inefficient supply of water. Large numbers of sheep are reported to be moving from Apache county and New Mexico toward the Salt River Valley to be wintered there.
 Mir. Blystone also prepared the fol- lowing data regarding the month of December for the last eight years, compiled from the records here:
 Mean normal temperature, g. de- grees.
 The warmest was that of 1896, with an average of 54.2 degrees.
 The cOldest months were those of 1895, 1897 and 1S9S with am average of 4S.S degrees.
 The highest temperature was SO de e- Erees on Dec. ;, 1901.
 The lowest temperature was 22 de- STees, on Dec 31, 1900.
 Average date on which first killing frost occurred in autumn, Dec. 8.

of the legitimatist, labels as No. 1 of the blood royal Mary Theresa Henriet- ta Dorothea, Princess Louise of Bav- aria whom he describes as "heiress Of the house of Stuart and by hereditary right Queen of England, Scotland, France and Ireland"
 Of course, in the family pedigree she comes before Edward VII, the actual king in the marquis book. So do Don Carlos, of Spain, dozens of European princelings and hundreds of commoners. But that unlucky Act of Settlement bars 'em all.
 Ie among the lineal descendants of these three kings were counted those whose pedigrees are crossed with the bar sinister. no book would hold them all. The marquis counts ouly the legi- timate lines.
 As sample of how the thing works out. take the Duke of Devonshire. He is No. 3.653 from the Princess of Vav- aria; nevertheless by the Marquis de Ruvyngy's calculation he is by right of descent nearer the throne than his lawful sovereign. This is how the royal strain in the dukes blood is traced:
 He is a son of kady Blanche Georgiana Howard, who was a daughter of Lady Georgiana Dorothy Cavendish. who was daughter of Lady Georgiand Spencer, who was a daughter of the first Earl Spencer, who was a son of Lady Georgian Caroline Spencer, who was daughter of Francis Thyme, who was a daughter of Lady Mary Seymour who was a daughter of Will fam Duke of Somerset, who was a son of Lord Beauchamp, who was a sonof Lady Catherine Grey who was a daughter Of Lady Frances Brandon. who was daughter of Henry VII.
 The pedigrees of mere commoners are traced with equal care. The job has involved years of work for the marquis but he likes it. He shows that some 10000 out of the HIPS partial royalties he has discovered have remained Ill England. The rest are scattered al over the world in India. America. Australia, and even Japan and Mexi- co.

Most of Them With Rights to Britian's

It will be news to many people that there are almost 12,OOO living persons who have British royal blood in theu- veins. There are, and the Marquis dS Ruvigny. who finds his recreation Tn genealogical research, proves it in a Shick volume just issued in England.
 The marquis gives the names of II co 123 living persons who are legitimate descendants of Edward ", Henry VII, of England and James III, of Scotland, with pedigrees to show how they obtain that distinction The list includes the names of every Christian crowned head in the world, except the Kings of Sweden and Servia and the Princes of Monaco and Montenegro. and most of the higher nobility of European countries.
