THE AMERICAN GIRL.
She Is AdaptabIe to an Astonds hing Degree and Is Unharmed by
 seIf-Cons ci ousness.

The American girl is admired and liked at home and abroad, because she is the happiest, healthiest and friend Hest of girls. Usually unharmed by any self-consciousness she is not apol- ogetic and morbidly sensitive, as are many girls brought up in the close, conventional air of European civiliza- tion. She likes the world, and is alive to everything beautiful and good in existence. She is easily pleased, and her unstudied, fresh enjoyment ef sim pie pleasures gives happiness to every one around her by it's simple, whole some expression through her face, fig ure and voice, says Woman's Home Companion.
 American girls, when you study them critically, are not more beautiful than English or French girls, but some how an American girl always con trives to make a pretty picture of her self, and neither she nor anyone else can explain how she does it. She is adaptable to an astonishing degree, and she can dress for walk, an out door game, dinner or ball so as to make the impression that in each par ticular garb she is at her best. This power to change her appearance so as to look almost like another person is one of the American girls chief charms, and she owes it to her keen apprecia- tion of the people and circumstances around her. She has imagination and intuition, and a genius for fitting her self to the hour.

One of the quaintest and most orig inal of all the New York musical con- edy successes is .The Liberty Belles," " which is down for production under Klaw & Erlanger's personal direction this evening at Polls It took New York and other large cities by storm, and has been received as one of the most striking novelties of the theatri- cal year. The piece is most unique and original in it's construction and so different from anything in the musical line as to be notably distinctive. It employs no chorus, although there are seen in it about thirty very beautiful women. The characters in the piece are diversified and interesting, includ- ing all the attractive girls on the cal endar. Among these are school girl, an athletic girl, girl who reads nov els, a slangy girl, a poetic girl, a prim girl, a hungry girl, stuttering girl, a lisping girl, a practical joking girl, a New York girl, Philadelphia girl, a southern girl, an Annapolis cadet, a Yale junior, an eccentric inventor, a sea captain, an Italian street singer. seminary president, a Japanese girl who has been sent to America to be educated in American etiquette and customs, etc. There is also the girl in pink pajamas who figures with thirty others in midnight scene m the dormitory of a young ladies' sem mary. Prices are 25, 50, '75 cents, $1 and $1.50.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 Great expectations have been held of the triple headline feature that marks this weeks bill at the Jacques, and on that account there is a matinee attend ance this afternoon that fills the house. Foremost on the bill, and easily domin- ating 1t because of the novel charac- ter of the act, are Prof Gillette's mus ical dogs. These sagacious animals, of which there are 32 in the troupe, actually present a musical comedy which has consecutive plot and story that are worked out through series of striking canine tricks. It is proba- bly, one of the best animal novelties ever contrived, and people are forced to wonder how Prof Gillette manages to send such large number of dogs through such an elaborately conceived performance. Then there is the Great Montrell, whom Manager Poli brought over from Europe to exhibit his juggling novelty to the American people. The act is heraIded as the greatest European juggling act in ex-. istence, and MT Poli predicts that 1t will create a sensation here. The third element in the triple headline is made up of Milton and Maud Wood, the former of whom took the second prize in the great dancing contest at Tammany Hall, New York, last sping when John Ford was awarded first medal. Many have held that the de cision should have gone to Milton, and at any rate his dancing is sure to make as pronounced a hit as Ford's did when seen here a few weeks ago. The remainder of the bill is made up of acts by Julia Kingsley and Nelson Lewis, Paul Stephens, Al H. Burton and others. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents: afternoons 10 and 20 cents la-. dies 10.

A PRESCOTT SUICIDE
Lost His Money Gambling Then Blew
 Out His Brains.

Friday afternoon about o'clock q man apparently about 60 years of age walked into the depot and opened q hand satcnel which he carried and took therefrom d 3S-calibre Smith X Wes- son s1X-shooter, put it in his pocket and walked leisurely down the plat form of the depot, speaking to one O. two persons in pleasant manner He walked about two hundred feet beyond the depot to a little building, when he fired the revolver in the air. apparently to see 1T the gun was working all right. lie then sat down on q little embank- ment at the end of the building, and, placing the pistol to his right temple, sent ball crashing through his brain. falling back dead, death having re- suited instantly. At the sound of the second shot those around the depot rushed to the scene and the sad specta- Gle described above met their gaze. The sheriff's office was notified. as was Jus tice Talbot, who went to the scene and empaneled a jury. who viewed the body, after which it was removed to the un- dertaking parlors of s. A. Logan. The jury met it o'clock last evening and examined the case. finding that the de- ceased was a bridge carpenter by the name of William Whalen. He had beer working for the railroad company fol some time and had about $500 few days ago, at which time he took his baggage to the depot Ito have it sent to San Francisco. He stayed about town a few days too long and made the remark yesterday that he was broke. He was well dressed and ap parently in good health. and the only reason apparent for the rash act wa! despondency over his bad fortune.

are concentrating at Tegrcigalpa. the down 400 rifles to the legally elected candidate to help him along. Such are the devious ways of Central American politics.
 Alluding in another letter to the revolution. MT. Richmond says: "The people Of Honduras along the border have been clearing out and entering Salvador in large numbers. From their reports Gettysburg was a little after dinner spat compared with the battle which was fought over the border the other day One side lost 'un mil honI- bres' and it is going to be 'un grande guerra
 Taking the ina ginative element out of the reports that are coming in about that battle it is considered barely possi- bla here that the fatalities may have consisted of the death of one man. who most likely succumbed to over-exertion in running away from the fight. After s.sing what the Central American armies are composed of the notion that any one was actually killed in battle is absurd. When these people shoot they invariably shut both eyes. and the pos sibility of hitting anything beyond a range of ten feet does ..ot exist"
 It is the opinion of Mir Richmoni that there is greater danger on any day In Market street. San Francisco, than in the bloodiest Central American battle that was ever fought.

A CENTRAL AMERICAN WAR
A Report Of It by a Former Phoenix
 Boy Who Heard the Guns.

Mir and Mrs. G. B. Richmond and MT. and Mrs. Harry Diehl have lately received several letters from Charlie Richmond. who is engag ged with large mining company near La Union. in the republic of Salvador. He is an assayef for the company. and he writes that his prospects are good. and that though there is little inviting in his country, an entire absence of comforts. he in tends to bear with the unfavorable conditions.
 In order to show of how little import ance q revolution is regarded in the Central American republics, Mr. Rich mond would have forgotten all about, if when writing his letter he had not been reminded of the war by the boom- ing of cannon.
 He therefore wrote: "Oh, yes. I near ly forgot the revolution down here. All day yesterday and the night be- fore we listened to the regular boom- ing Of cannon which proclaimed the fact that the one hundred and twenty sixth revolution in Honduras was well under way. The trouble has beer brewing for some time. Of course there had been an election for a presiden- Sad to say there can only be one presi- dent at a time.

RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE
Growth in Arizona of an Important
 Branch of the Postal Business.

There are very few people except employees of the postofIice department. who have d proper appreciation of the growth of the postal business. This is especially true Of the west.
 Arizona's postoffice record has been Q good one and the proportion of rev enue for population, returned to the government. is very flattering. But Arizona has just begun to grow. There has been trouble for years in keeping the facilities and office forces of the of fees in the larger towns adequate for the requirements. No sooner is the sit uation adjusted once than it needs to again get out O. proportion and can only be rectified through a certain amount of red tape.
 In late years Arizona has come to be Of some importance in the railway mail service, q service that residents of this territory few years ago knew little and cared less about. Terminal points were Fl Paso and Albuquerque to the east ard Los Angeles and San Francisco in the west There were no division points in Arizona. Arizon- ians knew no clerks and profited noth- ing by disbursements through that de- partment of the service. Today there
 
 on the Santa Fe. Pacific and another at Tucson on the Southern Pacific, while there are other complete runs within the territory boundaries on shorter branch lines with clerks whose life and work is all in Arizona and whose salaries are spent here. There are ten postal clerks now III the ser vice who formerly lived in Phoenix and some of them do yet; those running on the s. F.. P. & P. road.
 A few years ago. but two men crossed the territory daily on each through railroad. in the postal cars The former Fl Paso and Los Angeles division is cut in two. the division point now being Tucson. From Tucson east there are usually five clerks employed and from Tucson west about fifteen, making total of twenty postal clerks with headquarters at Tucson. Nearly i the same number and the same situa- tion exists Cn the Santa Fe. Pacific with division headquarters at Ash Fork. Including the branch railroads and the F. P. & g. W. there are proba- ply over fifty postal clerks employed daily in Arizona.
 Friends of the clerks now in the ser vice who now or formerly did call Phoenix home, may be interested in knowing what has become of them. One of the first to enter the service from Arizona was J. Wallace Morse, who is now employed in the sixth di- vision of the service with headquarters in Chicago He will be remembered as a former normal school student. Charles w. Wartman, at one time an ernploye of the Phoenix postoffice. is now running between Ash Fork and Los Angeles. Will Orme. also a former employe of the Phoenix office is rur- ming between Tucson and Los Angeles Arthur w. Smith is a helper running between Ash Fork and Barstow Courtney Camp is running between Nogales and Tucson. Frank NJ. Hew- ings is running on the Gila Valley ! Globe and Northern and Frank " | Quinn. George Burtis and Norman I-ackland belong to the s. F.. P. tS P 1 force. Several other Phoenix boys have entered the service at different | times but resigned.

Friday it was crowded with people all day, and most of the fancy as well as substantial articles manufactured by the young la dies were purchased by visitors. and many of them sold for fancy prices. The judges appointed to award the prizes for. the handsomest booth and best cake and homemade candy were President C. R. flakes. O. s. Stapley and Mrs. Sarah Macdonald. They awarded the prize to the paper flower booth. to Mrs. C. IT. Lewis for the best cake. and Mrs. F. T.
