fourth-fioor studio had been taken.
The next morning unfamiliar sounds
fell from above-a mans voice, deep
and musical, leaping up and down the
scale. cheerful, companionable tor
rent Of melody that brought a respon-
sive smile to her face. After that she
heard it frequently. Sometimes 1t be-
gan early In the morning, while she
was yet busy over the tiny gas-stove;
sometimes it broke OF in the middle,
and left her hearkening almost breath
lessly for the next note; sometimes
a day or two passed without sound
from the fourth floor, and she was dim
ly conscious of sort of loneliness quite
new to her who had experienced SO
many sorts.
At first she had thought him a
teacher of music. Later she knew the
bursts OF melody were but outpourings
Of triumph, that he burst into song
when life and work were going well,
just as she. when she had finished

that satisfied her soul, perked her
little brown head like sparrow, puck
cred her red lips, and whistled tune
with ludicrous effect.
On the door Of her room was a
modest placard announcing to the

THE ENGINE
 AND DYNAMO
WILL BE AN INTERESTING SUB. JECT BEFORE THE DELE
 GATES.
Also What the Republican Convention Will Do on the Statehood Question Will Be Noted With lnterest-inter. esting Letter From Tucson.

Tucson. Feb. 27.-While the recent
 sensational announcement of the dis appearance from the Territorial Uni
 versity in this city of an engine and
 dynamo and the reappearance of this
 machinery at 9 mining camp in New
 Mexico and in the possession and use
 of a mining company of which the
 chancellor of the University Is presi-
 dent, will lessen the enthusiasm cf
 the Republicans on the occasion of
 the meeting of the Territorial conven-
 tion, still some preparations are go- ing forward for the entertainment of
 the crowd expected here on March 8.
 The engine and dynamo incident has somewhat cooled the ardor of the Brodieites, while their loyalty no doubt is steadfast. still they are not doing as much shouting as they were before the bomb was exploded in their camp Everybody has been expect. ing daily to see a statement from the governor that he was ignorant of the disposal and removal of the engine and dynamo from the University. The statement that the governor will have
 this matter investigated is interpreted here by his fsierds to mean that nr
 knew nothing about t; if he had
 knowledge of it at all he must have been aware that the law was being vio lated in the transaction
 understand that the Cochise coun ty delegation to the Territorial con vention here next month have already engaged the best quarters to be had
 at the Santa Rita hotel, and that the
 boys from the big copper country arc coming prepared to make the candi
 dacy of W. H. Brophy for a place or the territorial delegation to Chicago the burden of their song until Mr Brophy's election is formally declared
 by the convention.
 It is the general understanding now that the Murphy crowd will make nc attempt to disturb the program which has been marked out by Governor Brodie, but that when the real thing
 comes oil this fall-the nomination oi | a Republican candidate for delegate to congress-the Murphyites will be ir a position to smite the Brodieites hiT and thigh. Two years ago Bob Nor srison, Of Yavapai county, was nomi

Married Couple Returns.

MT. and Mrs. Bert Warner, nee Leonard, returned last evening from their wedding trip. The flutter caus- ed by the couple accepting the call of Cupid, despite the stern disapproval of the parent of the bride, had all dis appeared in the meantime, and for giveness had seated itself in the heart of the brides father. so that when it became known that the young couple were to arrive Saturday after noon, a vehicle was provided by the brides father, and his daughter and son-in-law properly escorted to the family home on Quality Hill, where a royal reception was rendered them, as well as congratulations for their flu ture happiness. During the evening a large number of the friends of both the bride and groom assembled at the residence, and their home coming an. nounced with fine diplay of firearm enthusiasm as may be heard at Port Arthur on an ordinary evening of late The groom was called uron for a speech, which he responded to in good shape. refreshments were served hearty greetings were extended, and delightful evening was spent in SO ciar enjoyment which was kept ur until a late hour.

mated over the opposition of Governor Brodie, who wanted his territorial auditor, w. F. Nichols, nominated for the position. It is believed that Morrison will again be the candidate, and that he will have the support of Oaks Murphy It is argued that Morrison will be able to make 6 much harder fight this year than he did two years ago. Since then he has very materially increased his bank account, besides he has been closely connected with Geo. Mitchell, the mil lionaire copper magnate, who 1t is said would not hesitate to knock in the head of good sized "barl" if it was necessary to elect his friend Bob Morrison to congress.
 The question of how the Republican territorial convention will handle the statehood question is one that will be watched closely Will the Arizona Republicans denounce the false prom ises of the last National Republican convention. or will they point with pride" to an administration which has denied the people of Arizona the right of government. after having un- conditionally promised four years ago to admit the Territory as a State? When the Republicans of Arizona an- dorse the administration which has So wrongly used the people of Arizona, they become particeps crimfnis to the transaction.

CLUB WOMEN
ARE ANCERED
Resent Action of School Direct
ors in Diminishing w. H. Hut
ton, Manager of Playground
WILL MAKE A PROTEST
Dcposed Man Is PrOtege of Cali
fornia Club. Which Says Sue
cessor Is Only a Pugilist"

Nv the dismissal of w H Hutton
from the position of manager of the
childrens playground at Seventh and
Harrison streets the School Directors
have incurred the displeasure of the
ladies of the California Club. and a
storm is brewing around the heads of
the men who direct othe educational
affairs of San Francisco's boys and
girls.
Hutton was appointed as manager of
the playground in question when it
swas opened three years ago. He was
a protege of the. California Club and
was appointed by the then existing
School Board at the request of the la
dies. who took the most active inter
est in securing the playground.
1t is now claimed that Hutton has
been deposed for political reasons and
that his successor, Joseph Meyers, is
a personal friend of School Director
Roncovieri. Meyers is a teacher of
physical culture at the Young Mems
Hebrew Club but some of the ladies
of the California Club declare that
Meyers is only pugulist."
Hutton was given but three days
notice in which to vacate his post and
turn the keys of the playground over
to Meyers. ,
Hutton says his removal was the re-
suit of a political bargain in order to
give another man his position, as he
was not subject to civil service. He
claims that the reason given for his
dismissal was that he was not atten-
tive to his duties, but he denies the
charge. He says that he built a num-
Der of club rooms at the playground
without any cost to the city and that
he has kept all the apparatus in good
condition.
Mrs. Mary Kincaid. an ex-member
of the School Board. is very indignant
over Huton's orengoval and says that
the California Club will make a pro-
test to the School Directors and to
Mayor SchmitZ.
Mrs. Kincaid says that Hutton was
recommended by the California Club
for the post of manager of the chill
dren's playground and that he is a
very. capable man and has shown every
interest in his work.
The children's playground at Seventh
and Harrison streets has been a boon
to that district. The grounds are pat
r6nized weekly by thousands of chill
dren and the police say that the chill
dren are kept off the streets and pre-
vented from getting into bad company
by tho opportunity for recreation Of
fered by the grounds.
