Patrick B. Delaney, an electrician
of Orange, New Jersey, says he has
made perfect telegraph system by
which 1900 words a minute can be
sent by telegraph and at such cheap
rate that the postoffice system of the
country will have little to do here
after when the new company he talks
of is organized. Delaney invented
the muItiplex telegraph instruments,
by which six messages can be sent
over the same wire at the same time.
He says that with his new system a
stenographer in any business mans
Office can punch out on machine re-
sembling a typewriter a message or
long letter and send the tape around
to the telegraph Office, where it can
be reeled off at an inconceivable rate.
Chemically prepared tape at the other
end takes down the message in regular
Morse, which can be easily translated.

the subject have proved its value, and
it has gained such ground in recent
years that no one can refuse to be-
lieve in it. That being true, he ad-
vanced one srgument for it, but took
up in an interesting way the plan for
its treatment.
He explained, how, through the agi-
tation on the subject, started by the
Arizona Federation of Women's Clubs,
and the generosity of one Prescott
lady, manual training has been in
troduced into the Prescott schools in
the form of sewing for the girls. A
special teacher is employed, a special
room utilized and all grades receive
instruction in this art. The girls and
parents generally appreciate this, but
the boys feel that they are being
slighted.
So the Ladies' Monday club has
taken up the idea, and undertakes to
equip room for the teaching Of sloyd
or carpenter work, and at least par
TALLY pay the salary of teacher for
next year. 1t is hoped that by the
years following law will have been
passed enabling school boards in the
city schools to equip rooms and en-
ploy teachers in manual training as il
done in many cities in both the east
and west. A bill has already beer
prepared to be introduced at the mex
legislature, and it is hoped that al
the influence possible will be used tt
secure its passage.
Mr.. Billinghurst named long lis
of cities in the United States wher,
manual training is given an importan
place in the school course, and ended
by saying that if the subject is good
for so many places, it must be good
fer Arizona, and we should get int
the procession.

Episcopal Christmas.

The Episcopal Sunday School
Christmas party was given in Masonic
hall last evening the hall being filled
with the members of that church and
invited guests. The exercises opened
with a very interesting musical and
literary program by the children.
This program consisted of twenty
numbers and was enjoyed by all pres
ent, the little ones participating in it
showing evidence of careful training.
Another very amusing feature of the
evenings entertainment was the DOLLS
rebellion. A number of the smaller
children we're dressed to initiate dolls,
and when Kris Kingle, in the person
of E. r. Jenkins appeared to dis
tribute them among a group of little
girls who we're clamoring for dolls,
the company of dolls rebelled and OBJ
jected claiming that they we're not
properly taken care of by little girls.
On the promise of the latter to give
them better treatment in the future
Kris Kingle was able to subdue the
rebellion after which Kris Kingle
Joined the children in a number of
merry romping games, which was spe-
ciaIly enjoyed by the little folks. Re-
freshments we're served later and in
this the preference was given to the
children. as they we're served to all
they desired before the big boys and
girls were permitted to participate in
this feature of the evenings entertain
ment. Each child present was also
presented with a box of candy, and
taken as a whole the evening was one
of genuine pleasure to the little folks,
while the larger ones enjoyed seeing
the happiness and pleasure of the
children, and it was nearly eleven
O'Clock before the company broke up.

WORKING FOR STATEHOOD.

The Washington correspondent of
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat wires
that paper that the territorial dele
gates in congress and other persons
interested in statehood for the terri
tories that are asking admission to the
union, are losing no time even during
the holiday recess to push matters
pertaining to the subject which is of
such great Importance to them. Del
egates Wilson and Rodey of New Mex
leo and Arizona remain here and are
attending to matters in the different
departments for their constituents.
Mr.. Rodey said today: 'Along about
January 10 to 20 there will be some
thing doing in the statehood ques-
tion, in my opinion. l believe there
is a disposition on the part of mem
bers of this congress to enact legisla-
ton which will forever eliminate the
question of statehood for the terri
tories from further consideration.
Either we VIII be admitted, or a por-
ton of the territories will be taken in
and provision made for the others TO
enter statehood when the proper per
iod and conditions as to requirements
have been met. There is a disposition,
l have observed, to eliminate the
whole subject 1t would, Of course,
be very desirable to US to have the

that Oklahoma also would be, with,

An EnOCh in Prose.

An Enoch Arden case has just come
to light in Phenix according to the
Republican, although Enoch was a
different sort of a man from the one
We read about in verse. About nine
years ago a Mexican left Phenix aban-
doning his wife and several children.
After he had been gone a couple of
years word came to PheniX that he
was dead and in the course of time his
wife remarked. Early this week hus-
band No. ! returned. When husband
No. heard of it he feared for his
hide, for the first husband was a
man not to be fooled with. The sec
ond husband decided to propitiate the
first one right at the outset. He put
his wife, the children by the first mar
riage and the accumulated children
into a wagon and drove to the place
where husband No ! was staying. He
called to him as soon as he was within
hearing distance and pointing to the
load told him that be was welcome to
it and further apologized for the mar
riage. But husband No. l had not
come back for a reunion. He told his
successor to take the family back
home.

but they are reckoned to be living in
heather darkness. They scorn utter

manner concerned with the affairs OF
