WRESTLING WON HIM A LEGACY.

An extraordinary story of coinci- dence is told by the Copenhagen cor respondent Of the Vossische Zeitung re- lating to legacy of some hundreds of pounds. A lady died in a Danish vfl- lage, leaving all her money to her nephew, who years ago had left Den- mark for Holstein, and of whom noth- ing further had been heard.
 The executor was puzzled how to find the legatee, when suddenly he re- me1nbefed travelling iii Saxony some years ago with friend, when a young man in the same compartment started wlIistling a Danish folk song. The tray elers engaged him in conversation, found that he did not speak Danish, although he had been born there. He told them he had left Denmark for Holstein years ago and had learned the folk song in q Danish garrison town.
 Ths executor has now followed up his clue. with the result that the chance meeting of many years ago has resulted in the young man receiving his inheritance.-L London Daily Mail.

Jacques
,vAUDEv1I.LE AT THE JACQUES.

AT THE JACQUES.
 Manager Poli announces surprise tor next week at the Jacques ill the Engagement of, Mary Hampton and her 2company to present. Edmund Days .startling comedy 'TThe Melodrama." Local show-goers will not need to be told who Miss Hampton is; most of them will recall her brilliant work as Beading lady for William Morris in $"Under the Red Robe" five years ago Tat Polls. Tn addition to being one of the handsomest women on the Aneri- can stage, Miss Hampton is an accom- plished actress, and she has been more than making good since her entry into vaudeville a year or more ago. She has an excellent vehicle for her pow- CTS in ".Fhe Mel0drama," in which she appears in three distinct roles, and she has a very capable supporting company which includes among others Frank Whitman. the well known dancing vio- linist, who Is a favorite with local au- diences. Miss Hampton and her com pany ought surely to prove a very pop ular headline feature. There is an un- usually strong accompanying bill which gives next weeks show the ap- pearance of being one of the best of the season. Among those contributing are Oracle Emmett and company in "Mrs Murphy's Second Husband" :" Colby and Way as "The Ventriloquist and Dancing Doll" the Brooks broth CTS, Milt and Maud Wood, the Warten- burg brothers, the famous juggling MacBanns, and the electrograph Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents: after moons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

THE THEATERS

A pretty fragment of story of stage sentiment is that of the roman- ic friendship of Wright Lorrimer and Edward Mackdy. They met during NIT Lorrimer's first year on the stage, and MT Mackay was kind to Mir LOT Timer. Ut didn't cost much," MT Mackay would probably have ex- plained, but his occasional "Wel1 done, my boy; you'll get on!' was as grate- ful to young Lorrimer's ears as man ma to the stomachs of the Israelites. And Lorrimer never forgot. When he wrote 'The Shepherd King' he made Jonathan an especially fat part, ''be- cause I want Ed Mackay to play it,'' he said, and Mir Mackay was the first person engaged in the cast.

 Walker Whiteside relates an anus ing incident that came under his no tice during his engagement in Culum- bus, o.
 The actor was riding in q crowded street car in which he, as well as sev- eral others, were standing. One of the passengers. seated well toward the center of the car, was il rather seedy looking individual, whose breath and facial expression showed him to be under the influence of beverage stronger than water. Noting the e1l- trance of feminine passenger he rose ana gallantly waved her attention to his vacated seat Before she had reached the length of the aisle, how ever, the seat was appropriated by a man, whose act was wrathfully re- scented by the intoxicated one.
 Shut upv' said the man, you're drunk"
 "Zrunk! yes, know I am,' replied the accused, but I'll get over it all right; but you're a hogan you'll never get over it."

 Clara Morris, celebrated April IS, the fortieth anniversary of her first appearance on the stage. Many of her friends remembered the date and when she went to the New Amsterdam theatre to prepare for her performance as Sister Genevieve in '"The Two Or- phahs' she found her dressing-room beautifully decorated with flowers that had been sent by admirers of many years standing. The tribute was well merfted indeed, tnd it was deeply appreciated by the distinguished act4 reSs.
 The story of Miss Morris debut aa she relates 1t in her book of reninis- cences Is Wohdfously interesting and infinitely pathetic. She was a quaint wistful-eyed little firl of thirteen, living in humble circumstances in Cleveland, under the late John A. Ellsler's management. MT. Ellsler of ten said that he engaged her because he could not resist the blending look on her face when she applied to him for position. Her salary was three dollars a week. and in order that it might see larger to her mother she did not draw q penny of it until the end of her second week
 On the night of debut she won the instant favor of the members Of tho company by an act that many an ex- perienced player might have shrunk from. Agif1 playing very small part was suddenly struck with stage fright and was unable to make her entrance There as an awkard wait of n moment during which the star. alone on the stage stormed lustily. The stage. mafager in despair caught sight of Clara Morris in the wings and bade her go on. She obeyed and saved the scene. Considering the circum- stances, 1t was one of the greatest achievements tn all the splendid career of the actress.

Some idea may be had of the splen- did stereopticon lecture musical which Rev Henry R. Rose, B. D., of Newark, N. J., is to deliver at Polls on Mon day evening from the following com ment which the Waterbury American made following its presentation not long since at First church.: "A marked feature of the lecture was the way it brought out the spiritual meaning of the great music drama. and the devo- tional atmosphere created by the pie lures and music which illustrated it. The audience listened from beginning to end In almost breathless stiffness, and at the close nearly everyone passed out Teverently and silently, as though loath to break the spell thrown about them by tAe impressive story. The pictures were unusually clear and steady and very beautiful in design and coloring." Prices are 25, B and 50 cents.

WHAT ARIZONA MAY EXPECT.

| Arizonans are vi,ally interested in the attitude of the Republican Ma ttonal convention regarding statehood for this territory, but careful read ing of the platform, prepared and censored at the White House, fails to reveal one single sentence. or paren- the,ical phrase, that offers any hope at the hands of the dominant party in the fulflment of the desires and wishes of the people of Arizona re garding statehood.
 The Republican National convention, completely dominated in all it's work ings by Theodore the First, lodged the statehood proposition; and leaves the attitude of that party towards Arizona 10 be judged by it's actions in the past congress. Turning back the pages Of the Congressional Record we find that a Republican majority in the House passed a joint statehood bill, and this bill is now on the calendar of the Sen
 
 ate. IL is to be expected. in the ab- sence of any declaration: on this sub- lect, that before the grass is green in 1905 Arizona will be no more, and the Republican grasp on the throat of the country will have been frightened and made more secure, at the expense and cost of I50,e00 free American citizens, and over their vigorous protest
 That this is the Republican attitude toward Arizona there can no longer be any doubt Roosevelt dictated the platform, and if, as has been contend ed, he favored the admission of Arizo- Ia as a single state, he had ample op- portunity to declare. himself. De nials and arguments will no longer avail Roosevelt and his party are determined to force Arizona into an unholy and repugnant alliance with New Mexico. and Arizonans, the pio- neers who helped to blaze the trails in the West, are forced to witness a handful of partisans from our Terri tory standing on chairs at Chicago and "whooping" for a man who IS bent on stealing from us our very birth right.
 The spectacle is sickening. Polit- ical avarice and greed is in ihe sad de, and the rights of American citi- zens, just as intelligent and patriotic as any within the confines of the great United States, are to be trampled un- der foot, and the labor of years in the upbuilding of Arizona is to be sacrific- ed to please the party dominated by Roosevelt, Beveridge, Lodge and Mel son.
 The program has been decided upon. The end of Arizona is close at hand; Republican sictory in Novem' Der will seal the casket.

 The activity reported from St. Louis among these who desire to see Grover
 Cleveland the Democratic nominee foI president will be received with sur
 prise by the people of the WesterL States. but evidently it has been planned by Eastern Democrats of standing in the party. Whether the Cleveland talk has a real desire be- hind it to see the ex-president again the Democratic candidate is very doubtful. David B. Hill, who will be in charge of the Parker forces in St. Louis, is a politician of acknowledged ability. and this Cleveland talk may sli oe g pre-arranged plan 10 allow him to push his favorite as a oompro- mise candidate between the two ex. treme limits of Cleveland and Bryan.

Splendid Entertainment
 By Band and HorribIes
LAST MIGHT THE TEHANEY "HoR- RELIES" AND coNcHo's BAND GAVE eIS6EE A DE- LiGHTFUL ENTER
 TAlNMENT.

By o'clock last night the streets of this city were crowded with Bisbee people waiting for the special train with Concho's Band and Pete Tehan- ey's "Horr.bles" on board to arrive.
 At little before o'clock the train whistled down by the hospital. and everyone, crowded down to the depot.
 When the train stopped and the Can anea delegation got off it was a sight to behold. The "Horribles" were out in all their glory. Happy Hooligan, Alphonse and Gaston. and all the rest of the funny people, headed by Uncle Sam, formed in a procession, seventeen "Horribles" strong, and paraded Main street with the big band. The 'Hor- ribles" were about as funny looking crowd as the imagination of a hop fiend could conjure up after a long pull at the pipe.
 The "Hofribles" paraded to the flood gate, wheeled around and went to the Copper Queen hotel and took possession of the first balcony.
 Then they gave Bisbee a treat of vocal music such as has not been heard in the city for many moons. Quar- tettes, solos, duets, and funny speeches yelled through a megaphone made up the program. It was splendid en- tertainment, and the vocal music was well worth listening to.
 After the "Horribles" had concluded their show, Concho's band was taken to the upper balcony of the hotel, where they played several selections, including American national music, which caused great enthusiasm among the thousands who had gathered to hear this concert.
 Concho's band is one of the best ill Mexico, and their playing last night was all that any lover of good music could ask for.
 The band ended its concert by in cluding one of the popular pieces of their native land, La Golendrina," which was greatly enjoyed by the as sembled crowd. The whole enter tainment given by Cananea for the ben eft of Bisbee was fine. and il was treat from start to finish.

Especial to Review.)

Tombstone, Ariz., July 2.-The as sessment rolls of Cochise county for the year 1904 as turned over to the Board of Supervisors by County Asses sor B. J. O'Reilly, show an increase over those of last year to the amount of s1.069. .533.S7. The rolls last year amounted to s5.770, ,34s12, while this year the total is s6.s39, ,ss199. The rolls show that the work this year has been done in a very thorough man ner. and Mir. O'Reilly is to be congrat- ulated for the effort he has male tc as- sess the county presenting the true val ues. Besides doing the assessing, Mir. O'Reilly has prepared a block book of all the cities in the county that have been laid out and now have the names of the owners inscribed on them. so there is no conflict in the owners. This will be the means of saving considerable trouble not only to the taxpayers, who can see just what lots they are assessed with but to the following assessors in keeping them up and also of placing the same valuation on the lots in the same blocks al the same rate which has been the cause of much wrangling heretofore. Mir. OReilly also has in his office blue print maps of all the town lots as well as those of ths ad- ditions of Douglas and other cities. There is no doubt but what this year will see less complaint from the tax payers on account of mistakes in their assessments than in any year m 1he history of the county. The Bard of Equalization will begin their work on Monday of going over the rolls when the taxpayers will have chance to confer with them. With the in- crease of taxable property this year the tax rate should be reduced from the rate of s3.50 for last year, and should be nearer s3.00 per hundred.
 Among the largest taxpayers on the roll are the following, who are assess ed for over Sl5 900.
