SECRETARY G. r. CARTER SpORE
At THE BETHEL STREET
GRAND STAND.
Continued from page l.,

was inspiring. Hats were thrown in
| the air and the crowd yelled itself
hoarse for several minutes. during
which time Mr. Carter could only stand
and acknowledge his thanks by bow
ing.
Mr.. Carter opened his speech by say
ing: Il am as yet but a private citi-
zen, and as such l feel have a right
to come upon Il Republican platforu
and speak for that party in the coming
election. i have not found that any
of my hats are as yet too small for
my head, and hope the day will never
come when I will be unwilling TO face
an audience of fellow citizens stand
ing for the doctrines of the Republicans
party"
Mr.. Carter called attention to the
great boon granted by the Republicans
administration at Washington in ac-
cepting the Hawaiian Territorial bonds
in exchange for the United States gov
eminent securities. He called atten-
ton also, to the fact that the Home
Rule party was not known as a party
in the United States, and that the only
party through which success could be
achieved in this Territory was the Re-
publican. Mr.. Carter spoke at some
length on the local issues. He was
greeted with prolonged applause
throughout his speech, and at the close
was rendered an ovation which was
thunderously given.
THE AFTERMATH.
The fun did not commence on the
Bethel street stand until the Repub-
10 Id no.. f6rx.e
a race for the platform from every
side. 1t was a free-for-all and any
one could talk who wanted to. In
, fact there was no objection to every
one talking at once. Three men es-
sayed to speak at the same time ana
| they succeeded. That is all of them
! did but one. Someone threw over
ripe hen fruit in the direction OF the
platform and an old native was hit
| in the shoulder by a bad egg. He
didn't know what struck him, but was
not long left in doubt. He started to
rub his sleeve where the egg had come
| in contact with 1t and then held his
| finger to his nose. With one last
blasphemous appeal to the crowd he
| fed.
Another man soon took his placs.
and two natives and an Irishman held
forth all speaking at once. They
| talked at each other as we'll as to the
crowd but none of them We're sober
and no damage resulted. Then the.
egg bombardment began again, but
the shots were mis-directed. The egg
throwers were persistent and while all
| three orators were spouting at their
best deluge of dirty water came from
,above and drenched them. Two OF the
speakers started for the crowd but
one native wouldn't give up. Az
immediate opening was made in the
jcrowd as the erstwhile orators started
hitting left and right with their fists
Then Deputy Sheriff Chiliingworth
with a half dozen policemen interfered
Il New orators took the places of those
who quit and the political camp fire
continued. 1t was still in good work
ing order after midnight.

 The finance committee of the Fourth of July celebration is getting in "the licks," and if anybody in Bisbee thinks that g, 1,S00 is their limit-well, just watch Douglas smoke.
 VI. Harmon Buehman and W. E. Davis, who have been in Douglas for the past few days in the interest Of the Tucson Citizen, left for home to- day. Said MT. Buchanan: You have an excellent town here; it is beyond my expectations The moral atmos- phere seems to be above that of the average frontier town, and you are to be complimented on this feature" Mir. Buehman is newspaper man who has travelled much, and his opinion may prove gratifying to Douglasites. He intends to return to Douglas soon and take up his residence here.

BETTER FIRE PROTECTION.
Miss Henrietta Jewell Dies at Douglas
 of Sear.et Fever.
Especial to RevieW.)

NSpScldl 10 hSVleW.t
 Douglas. May 14-An urgent en- deavor is being made by some of | Douglas prominent business men to provide funds for better fire protec- tion. s. F. Mcguire, F. Douglas and c. o. Ellis are interviewing the n4er- chants and property owners of the city, and getting their several sub scriptions toward the financing of the | fire department The work of the committee is being rewarded with much success, the amounts subscribed reaching nearly four hundred dollars. and the business portion of the city has not been half covered. The amounts donated range all the way from s5 10 s150.
 It is the object of those interested in the movement to gather funds suffi- cient to pay off tue debt on the present fire equipment and purchase another those cart and several hundred feet of hose. Douglas now has but one hose cart and four hundred feet of hose not nearly enough to be of good ser vice should anything like a big fire ever start. Those so far approached for contributions have responded gen lerously. and there is no doubt that the city will be able to fit up a new fire house. and thus insure better protec- tion to the whole town. As things stand at present, the little house on Tenth street, with its small equip ment. is inadequate to fight a fire of any size, besides being located far from the most thickly settled residen- tial district.
 Better fire protection is something which should interest all property owners and merchants. and it is hoped that all will donate liberally toward the commendable project.
 Miss Henrietta Jewell. daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Jewell of this city, passed away at the Jewell home in the northern part of the city, yester- day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Miss Jewell had lowered between life and death for several days, from the ef- fleets of scarlet fever contracted while nursing a younger sister who sue cumbed 10 the disease less than two weeks ago.
 Miss Jewell was a native of Eng land. and IS years of age. The Jewell family came 10 Douglas but a short time ago from Galveston. Texas. She was an employe of the Douglas I'm Iprovement company. in the capacity Iof telephone operator. up to the time lof her illness. Miss Henrietta Jewell was the possessor of a manner that won her many friends. and her death, coming at the brightest time of her young life, is a cruel blow to her family and friends. The funeral took place from the Jewell residence this morning
