FIR. NORT0N'S PROMOTION
He Is Believed to Be the Youngest
 R. R. Solicitor in America.

Mir T. J. Norton, formerly solicitor for the S. F., P. & P. and the Santa Fe lines in the territory is probably permanently installed in the place of the late Judge Sterry as solicitor for the Santa Fe lines in California.
 The Los Angeles Times speaking of his promotion says:
 Prom Chicago yesterday a circular reached local headquarters of the Santa Fe. announcing the appointment of T. J. Norton. Esq, as acting solici- tor of the Santa Fe lines for CalifOr- mia, to succeed the late lamented Capt. C. N. Sterry. For the last ten days there has been much speculation here as to CaptSterry's successor and by all the local Santa Fe departments. it has been sincerely hoped that the man. tie O. that veteran attorney and high ly respected citizen might fall perman- ently on the young man Norton. Yes terdays circular is regarded by many as indicative of a permanency.
 When the circular reached the office of General Manager A. G. Wells yes terday from E. D. Kenra. the com pany's first vioe-president and head of the legal department with headquar-
 
 appointment was noised through the upper halls of the Conservative Life building. NJ Norton was the recipient of many congra tulations. Ever since Captain Sterrys death he has been acting as general counsel for the Santa Fe in this jurisdiction. Last October he was appointed solicitor for Arizona land maintained headquarters at Pres xx-he he oft Io pany's interests until Vice President Kenna ordered him to Los Angeles to relieve Capt. Sterry in his poor health. but the day before he arrived here his chief passed away and immediately he took temporary charge of affairs.
 "Prior to going to Arizona Mir. Nor ton was first assistant attorney to Capt. Sterry for two years, coming Iere from Chicago. where he was em- 0loyed for over two years in the law department of the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe railroad. Before entering with the we'll known firm of Messrs Collins & Fletcher, Chicago, about two years.
 "Mr. Norton is perhaps the youngest -ailroad solicitior in America. and his promotion at this time is no less grat- flying to himself tEan to his many friends.
 Although still in his thirties. he was engaged in newspaper work for num- Der of years before studying law. As staff correspondent of the Kansas City Journal. he was making marked sue cess of his work. when he concluded prospects and opportunities more promising were afforded in another profession. and he resigned to be grad Iated lawyer from tine University of Kansas in 1894. Thence he went to Chicago. He is native of Vermont"

ED UTE WOUNDED
By the Accidental Discharge ofa Tar
 get Gun Yesterday.

A very distressing accident occurred yesterday afternoon at the target shooting gallery at Eastlake park as the result O. which Ed Ctz is now at the Sisters hospital ard is suffering severely from a bullet wound in the left breast.
 The particulars as related by one who was present are that Utz who had been tending the gallery was relieved by his brother-in-law. Lee Redwine, Both were standing in front of the rail and alongside of them stood Dr. R. E.. Holbrook. who was preparing tc shoot at the target with a 22-calibre rifle which was accidentally discharged as Utz was walking away from the stand. Dr. Stroud was sun moned and took the injured man to the Sisters hospi- tai where the wound was examined and dressed. The bullet entered the left side from behind and lodged just beneath the skin in front, from the symptoms presumably passed through the left lung. No attempt will be made to extract it until the patient has recovered from the shock as it is doing no harm where it now is. Though Mir Utz suffers some pain in breathing there is Lut slight hemorr- haze and conditions are favorable for lis early recovery.

WONDERFUL PICTURES.

A Frenchman is at work in d studio near Broadway and Twenty-ninth street on some marvellous pictures. His shop is next to the roof of a private house, one of the old brown stone fronts. In a small room you may witness dissolving views and magic visions appearing in their places. The room is darkened after you have look ed with admiration upon a young maiden lying Lrowsily in a hammock. She is completely and most modestly and becomingly clothed. An electric machine is set in operation in a closet. Presently the clothes of the girl fade away and you are amazed and shocked by the conformation of a female form o.vlne as innocent of drapery as Mother Eve herself. The machine, continuing to revolve, the girl is clothed again be- fore your eyes.
 Another picture is a ball in a swell palace in the Highlands of Fifth ave- nue. the women in matchless gowns, the men in evening dress. The dance is at it's height, and quite respectable The room is darkened and the machine turned on. As you gaze an astounding transformation takes place. The wo- into satyrs.

WOULDN'T LET MRS. scHwAB IN

Like her husband, Mrs. Charles M. Schwab is restless. One may hear of her in New Iork one day and on the following night she is dining in the Hotel Schenley in Pittsburg. The other afternoon a cab stopped at Riverside drive and Seventy-fourth street. An entire block there will be the site of the Schwab chateau before another year. woman in black and white alighted from the cab and approached the watchman. She was Mrs. Schwab. but the name was no passport. as the watchman had been ordered to admit by pass only. The sun was schorching. but Mrs. Schwab was patient. Finally carpenter came to the rescue. An. let the lady in," said he. Mrs. Schwab was admitted. The Schwabs guard the interior of the great house. It is as much as a job there is worth to tell about the plans. Similar tactics were observed when William K. Vanderbilt was having Marble house built in New port. This villa remained a mystery until the house warming.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE
A Feature of Commencement at the
 University of Ariz.

One of the enjoyable features of the commencement exercises of the Uni versity of Arizona was the reception and exhibition work at the Domestic Science" cottage, given by Miss Hoover and her class of bright charming young girls.
 The recent improvements, coupled with the decorations of roses and pot ted plants, made the cottage a pleasing setting for it's hostess and her maids. The exhibition work in sewing, from 'kerchief to dresses, from the severely plain to the most elaborate creation dear to the heart of woman, were plac- ed where they could receive the most critical examination. The neatness and thorough workmanship everywhere apparent, spoke volumes for the effi- ciency of Miss Hoover as an instruc- tor.
 Refreshments were daintily served and their quality further attested to the skill and training O. the Domestic Science Class.
 Many prominent guests were present and spoke very complimentary of the practical and useful knowledge those young girls were storing away for the future.
 The university is to be congratu tuIated on Miss Hoover's reappointment for the next school year.

ARIZONA TEACHERS
Story of a Demand Which May Be
 hisinterpreted.

Under the head of Teachers Want ed" the Los Angeles Herald describes the demand in-that state for teachers and the peculiar call for help sent in from this territory. It is intimated in a sub headline that teachers who can shoot are especially wanted. The ar ticle is illustrated by a teacher garbed mostly in spurs and revolvers. with a Bowie knife sticking out of a boot top. His pupils are represented holding their hands high in the air in token of their submission to discipline. What ever libel there is in the matter IS con tained in the headline and the picture for the article goes on to say: Re quests for principals are coming con- stantly to the offices of the various superintendents. Arizona is particular " in need of male teachers who are capable of meeting the extremities of the climate and q situation to be found on the frontier. The pay is far better than that of the ordinary book keeper or clerk and the hours are not as long"
 It may be said that there are no frontier conditions in this territory which adversely affect the teacher. The average standing of the schools is higher than that of any other western state or territory. better salaries arc paid and there is less tendency to dis order than in most of the eastern and middle states
 The climatic conditions to which al- fusion is probably made does not occur during the school session and it never occurs outside of the valleys.
