MASQUERADE
BALL BY EAGLES
Was a Very Successful
Social Affair.
Retiring President W. ]. Wilsey
Presents Aerie With Magnifi-
cent Silken Banner,

The masquerade ball given by the
Eagles Thursday evening was up tC
the usual standard of excellence Of
entertainments given by this order.
The hall was comfortably filed, though
not crowded to the point of discom.
fort. While there were not as many
elaborate costumes as at the masquer-
ade OF year ago, dancers we're all in
masks, and grotesque costumes were
much in evidence. 1t was as merry a
throng as ever assembled to do honor
to Terpsiehore. The music furnished
by Mrs. B. Fl. Smiths orchestra was
faultless, the floor was in prime con-
dition and everything passed off very
pleasantly, so pleasantly in fact that
it was three o'clock on New Years
morning before the guests dispersed.
In addition to the maskers there was
large attendance of spectators also,
nearly every chair surrounding the
hall being occupied.
A very interesting and pleasant feat
ure of the evening, and one which had
not been made public, although known
to some members of the order, was the
presentation to the aerie of a most
beautiful banner, the gift of the retir-
ing worthy president, W. j. Wilsey.
The banner was of silk, the Eagle,
emblemstic of the order being hand
made, and very beautiful and artistic.
The banner is valued at $3.50 and any
one seeing the amount of needle work
on it would consider it cheap at the
price If the labor required to make it
was valued at anything.
Mr.. Wilsey has been presiding off
Ger of the lodge ever since its institu-
tion and under his administration the
membership has grown very rapidly,
and the order has become quite popu-
lar in Prescott. Mr.. Wilsey made the
presentation speech to the aerie, and
on behalf of the aerie W. J. Bond,
worthy president elect, accepted the
handsome gift in a brief but appro-
pirate address, thanking the donors,
on behalf of himself and the members
Of the order for his kind remem-
brances. Mr.. Wilsey is an enthusiast
tic Eagle and will continue to do good
work for the order in the future as be
has done in the past. The presenta-
ton of this banner was made Just
after the unmasking order had gone
into effect and at the conclsion of the
brief ceremony dancing was resumed.
1t imay be appropriate to note here
that JOS. McNulty led the grand
march at the opening of the ball, with
this banner, and it was universally
by all present.
Delicious punch was served during
the evening in the corridor of the
hall, and Mrs. H. T. Smith served
elegant refreshments to all who de-
sired th,m, in the banquet hall of the
building.
The Eagles could not but feel we'll
satisfied with the success of the even
ing's entertainment while their guests
were profuse in their praise of the
royal manner in which they had been

was observed on Santa Maria in a good
old fashioned style. The first on the
program was regular old Christina:
diuner, prepared by Mrs. b. c. Nc.
Grew and Mrs. John Roberts, who
cannot be beaten. The way the good
things we're piled up would make the
occupants of the White House turn
green with envy. After fifty six per
sons had eaten dinner enough was left
for that many more. Dinner being
over, came the school children's exer-
cises, the program being as follows:

Guy McGrew, the ten year old boy
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry McGrew, of
Thompson valley, did excellent, in
fact so we'll, that several remarked
they would speak him against any boy
of his age in Yavapai county.
The exercises spoke volumes for
their teacher, Mrs. j. n. Piper. Next
on the program was the Christmas
tree, which was decorated profusely
with all kinds of presents and orna-
ments, the prettiest and most costly
being the fine band instruments pre-
sented to the band boys of Santa
Maria by Morse DarnalI of Hillside.
After the presents we're all distributed
all marched to the dance hall, keeping
time to the grand march played by
the band master, Bill Noakes, assisted
by JEFF D. Ship, on their new in
struments. The committee not know
ing the band boys we're to have new
instruments, had engaged Clarence
Ferguson and Henry Miller for the
occasion.
A jolly good time being the program,
dancing began at once, keeping the
room warm till midnight, when a nice
lunch was served, after which dancing
was INDUCED in till morning, at which
time every one went home showering
praises on all who helped get up the
merriest party they had ever attended

day.
The mayor gave it as his opinion
the cause of the fire was the failure OF
the asbestos curtain to work. In re-
ference to placing the blame the
mayor said he could make no state
ment until after the coroner's jury
returned its report.
One of the coroner's jury collapsed
today at Rolston's morgue while they
we're viewing the bodies, as the jur-
ors were compelled to step over the
dead bodies in their tour of inspec-
ton.
When the fire broke out Eddie Foy,
the chief comedian of the "Mr. Blue
beard company, which was playing
an engagement at the show house, or
dered the asbestos curtain run down !;
his order was obeyed, but when half
way down the curtain stuck and to
this fact alone may be attributed the
great loss of life.
Some excited persons in the back of
the house yelled, "Fire, fire." which
started stampede. In the mad rush
for the outside and safety, scenes
which can only be left to the imagin-
alton occurred. Men, women and
children trampled each other under
foot in their mad efforts to avoid
the flames, which by this time we're
roaring through the entire building,
caused by fierce draft from open
doors to the stage proper.
All of the company, with few ex-
escaped unframed through
the stage doors into the snow covered
street, clad only in their stage cos
tunes which for the most part were
of thin gauze.
When the flames we're under control
and the work of removing the dead
had commenced, scenes of unequalled
horror greeted the sight of the police
men and firemen engaged in the work.
In many places the charred and un-
bodies of those who few
before had been laughing
and chatting we're piled up in some
places eight and ten feet high. In the
first balcony the fremen found the
remains of many persons still seated
with their faces towards the stage;
hey had apparently been suffiocated
IN their seats from the effects of ter
,ific gas explosion which occurred
shortly after the first mad rush for
'afety.
More than half the bodies brought |
out will never be identified as they |
we're trampled into unrecognizable |
masses by the hundreds behind them
iurging fratically to escape the flames. |

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumPtive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.

ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some

that puts new life into the
