BAND CONCERT-The band con- cert as usual was we'll attended last night.
 IS DOING WELL-Jack Gibson. who suffered the breaking of his col- lar bone on Saturday, Is doing well and probably will be confined to his home but few days.
 WEEPING CURIOSITY-4The News Herald publishes just enough in the following item to arouse curiosity. It says: There was an elopement of two well-known people from Congress last Tuesday evening. The deserted husband is looking for his child.
 A STERIOPTIcON SHOW-There will be stereopticon entertainment at the Christian church next Tuesday night under the auspices of the l. O. G. T. One of the features of it will be views from the Passion Play as presented at Oberammergau. There will also be views of the solar motor now in operation near Tempe.
 THE WORK OF VANDALS-The work of vandals in this city has final ly caused a general public inconven- fence. It has been the practice of Phoenix bicycle dealers from the be- ginning to keep large air pumps in front of their places for the use of the public both day and night. The ob- ject of it was to some extent no doubt to find favor with wheelmen and there by increase their business? But an- other all important object was non competitive. If bicycle riders have no place to pump up their wheels ex- cept by carrying with them constantly a little hand pump, there will be fewer bicycle riders for it is easier to walk than to pump up a wheel with many of the little hand machines. The deai- CTS Recognizing this have till recently furnished free wind to everybody But they were finally forced to take their pumps in at night by reason of the fact that evil disposed persons continusd to break them up as often as they were left outside. Some breakage is bound to occur in the use of the pumps but when parts that could not be broken by proper use were found battered up. the dealers were very justly in- dignant and took their pumps in at night. Now if one wants to be sure of getting home with his wheel he has to carry a pump with him. Often wheel in good condition at dark is punctured before bed time and the rider IS then not only on foot but encum bered with piece of property that is unhandy to manage. It is hoped the pump breakers will organize and an nounce that they have reformed so wheelmen may again secure the fav ors of the free wind dealers.

SLEEPING OUT"
An Article by Dr. Trudeau, a Former
 Phoenix Visitor.

The Outdoor Life is the name of an interesting little monthly paper that IS being published at the Adirondack cot tage Sanitarium, Saranac Lake, N. |. The sanitarium is conducted on semi benevolent basis, and has been re- markably successful in the treatment of consumption by the outdoor rest cure. The aim of The Outdoor Life is to be helpful to persons suffering from tu- berculosis and to educate others in preventive measures. In the July num- Der of the magazine is an article on Sleeping Out" by pr. E. L. Tru- deau, one of the most prominent lung specialists in the world. Dr. Trudeau is pleasantly remembered in Phoen.x. from a visit he paid to this secticn two years ago.
 Other features of the July number include Hints and Helps" in which Or. Charles L. Minor, of Asheville, N. C., tells consumptives and those thrsat- ened with the disease just what they should and what they should mt do; and an article teelling of the advan- tages and disadvantages of California as an abiding place for those suffer- ing from lung trouble.

KING EDWARDS NEW BLUE
 FROCKCOATS

People returning from England bring interesting accounts of King Edwards new frockcoats. They were of dark blue broadcloth as seen at the Ascot races and were, of course, immediate ly adopted by many of the more fash ionable dressers. It looks as though the black, gray and oXfords were to be put aside over there, but whether the new color will be adopted in this country is a question.
 It takes longer than it used to, ac- cording to some authorities on this side, for a new fashion set by Edward to be followed over here, and some tail ors declare the blue frockcoat will not be seen in America at all. It would they say, be susceptible to so much expansion and development in the hands of the cheap imitation that it would be eschewed altogether. The present tendency in mems dress is not toward variety in color and shape, but to conventional and monotonous forms. The average man wants now adays to be dressed as much like oth- CT men, as inconspicuously as To.si- ble, and leaves variety and new sh2 pc to the women.-PhiladeIph Record.

followed by apparently confirmed cel'- bacy may not be as completely due to the nature of the demands as she as- sumes. It may be that she has not met the right man not because of the kind of rightness she requires, but be- cause a lady so given to rash and in discriminating experiments in be trothals' does not overpoweringly at- tract that sort of a man. It is del- icate question, and it would not be open for discussion in public if the young woman were not put forward to explain why cultured women are re- luctant to marry and if she did not herself rather emphatically present the facts in her own brief but varied career of intimate lovemaking, pas sive and active. In the common walks of social life, not distinguished by culture or by devotion to a "acreer' she might be regarded. on her own de- scription, as something of a coquette, and such a suspicion. fairly Justified,
 would prevent the right man from en- tering into competition with the "as- sortment" she has looked over 50 thoroughly

SEPPUKU.

A vast amount of misconception pre- vulgarly termed harakiri. This word is never used by any other than illit- crate persons in Japan. Among the educated classes the term employed is seppuku. It IS wrong to suppose that Japanese soldiers and sailors are prone to throw away their lives vainly. Sep puku, in ancient times, was an hon. orable death. but it was only resorted to in extreme circumstances. As the Japanese proverb puts it, 'Sei wa ka
 tashi, Shi wa .yasushi"-"Life is diff cult, death is easy" For any one to commit suicide merely as a way out of a difficulty was esteemed, and is still. a cowardly act To take ones own life is easy enough as a means of pro curing relief from trouble, but to live on. despite difficulties. being harder matter, is the more creditable, and this is the meaning to be attached to the proverb, which has quite as much force today among Japanese as it ever had.
 The cause of so many soldiers and sailors-take the case of the Kin Shiu Maru as an example-preferring death to capture was something widely diff terent rom thar which has been as signed. The people of Japan at large, soldiers and sailors included, had heard so much of the Russian atrocities at Blagovestchensk. of the Russian treat ment of the Chinese at the time of the Boxer troubles, and of Gen. Kitchen kos famuos utterance that the Rus sians had "no ropes. but arms" sig nificant of the short shift that would

failed to grasp the extent of the suc- cess of the business. The strenuous ness of it also surpassed his expcta- tions. He has found it to be a day and night occupation, but he and forty more men, who are renting land of him, are satisfied.
 Shipments at present amount to a carload a day. Within a week they will be increased to two carloads and in a week later to three. After that shipments will be made in trainload lots.
 Besides the carlot shipments there Is an extensive local business. A great many crates are shipped to Phoenix and the north every day and this To- cal business is rapidly increasing.
 The storage plant was put into op- eration yesterday and the railroad spur has been carried clear across the can taloupe patch. Ii is likely that MT. Hansen will organize an excursion to Kyrene next Sunday so that the people of Phoenix and Tempe can see how melons are raised on a big scale and what a pumping plant can accomplish in the desert. Everything outside the section on which the melons is raised Is burnt and brown. Kyrene is just now a scene of great activity. The in- spection and receiving and loading of melons is going on at all hours of the day and night. It is expected that this will be kept up until the frosts come There is a possibility that the Rocky Ford melons will interfere with the cas- tern market but they will not get into the market before the latter part Of August. It is thought that on account of the superiority of flavor of the Ky rene melons there will be a demand for them over the Rocky Ford product
 But in any event there will be de- mand on the coast as far north as Seattle. Some have already been sold in that direction. On Saturday car load was sold to a San Francisco deal CT who overbid the representatives or the Chicago commission houses h' from forty-five to fifty cents crate

MIR. BRYAN STICKS.

William J. Bryan announces that hs will vote for Parker nc D9vis. The four reasons which he gives for this de- cision are all inClIG eI in two-he IS opposed to Roosevelt and does not want to wreck his Comm Ju.,r-.
 When MT. Bryan says of Judge Par ker that nothing good can be expected of him on the money question: he means that nothing bad or crazy can be expected of him. This certificate will be of great help to Judge Parker in the election.
 The general tone of MT. Bryan's statement will lead democrats who hope for the success of the ticket to pray that he will confine his stumping to Nebraska and the far west-the far ther the better.-NeW York World.

standing. The woman at Seven- teenth street arose and offered his seat to the lady. She accepted graciously, and his face reflected the satisfaction he felt at having had the good fortune to give his seat to a handsome woman
 She was gowned faultlessly and her expression of pleasure at all things was equal to that of the young man who had given her the seat. She look ed coyly at him once or twice and blushed when he caught her eye. At the second glance the young woman who mthe gentleman was escorting saw the maneuver and glared at her unconcerned sister.
 It was evident that the latter did no. know that the man was accompanied, and it was the business of the other to enlighten her and do 1t quickly and decisively. From that instant it was evident to the interested sepectator of the little comedy that the pair were man and wife. but the other girl was sublirlely unconscious of this palpa ble fact and continued, from time to time, her glances at the man. Then it hap pened.
 Charlie" said the lady who had
 
 ing Just timbre enough to carry clearly to the ear of the other girl, T don't think We can get along another day with Cora, and if you don't discharge her this very day I will.''
 The other turned toward her and her Face crimsoned to the back of her neck, but tho wife went on, utterly uncon- scious of the presence of anyone else and determined to have her revenge on both the culprits The husband by this time was seeking a convenient hole Into which he might crawl and pull it In after hims and the face of the other girl had now taken on a different ex- nression as she listened for more do- nestle dialogue. Charlie" never said word, but his wife had more to say.
 DO you think the baby will be safe with Cora? I declare I'm afraid of that girl and I'll never leave the baby with her again. She simply has to go and 20 at once.''
 St this the man looked amazed and the listener knew that that baby was fiction, but the game worked and the other giIl left the car hurriedly at Eleventh street. Then the wife look ed innocently at her husband and smiled quietly to herself.

be given to captives. that the pros pect of falling alive into Russian hands came in reality to be regarded as far worse than death. It was the firm belief that barbarous treatment would be meted out to them that led so many, despite the inunction conveyed in the proverb. to shoot or stab them selves when capture was inevitable.
 Cases of seppuku, as a matter of fact, were extreemly rare, and cases of ordinary suicidle, though more ire quent. were the expression of wide spread conviction that only in this way could an ignominious existence be avoided.

ATTEMPT TO ROB
 YOUR UNCLE SAM.
Government Building at Helena Entered By Burglars With Little Reward for
 Trouble.

Helena, Nov. 16. The govern ment building here was entered last night and after an attempt had been made to force open the big safe containing over $2, 900 in money and stamps, the cash drawer was broken open and $2 in stamps and money, which had been left in it, taken away.
 The job has the appearance of having been done by profession als. An entrance was effected by means of a rear window and a ladder. By mistake the bur- glars began work on an old vault in the room now used for storing supplies. This was opened most scientifically by means of a drill and punch. Discovering their mistake, the burglars tried the burglar-proof safe. This resist ed their efforts, though they had drilled three holes nearly through the door when for some reason, probably because frightened away, they stopped work.
 There is no clew to the perpe- tratOrS.

 BABY CONTEST.

Here is the proposition and the rules governing the contest:
 There is a handsome $25. .00 solid gold locket with diamond setting and solid gold chain, on display at the Palace Jewelry store, to be given away Decem- Der 24th, 1904, to the baby boy or girl under two years of age, who wins the highest number of votes as the prettiest and sweet est baby. Now the baby that is not pretty is surely sweet, and if the wee tot be a little cross at times, beauty must offset this badness. Fond parents at least are expected to think their ba- bies are both sweet and beauti- full, and so they do. But to set tie once for all the claims of the under two, and put at rest this rivalry of mothers and fathers, the Independent has inaugurated a contest that is to be determined by that cherished right, popular ballot, and in accordance with the following rules:
 BABY PRIZE CONTEST RULES.
 First-No baby that has reach ed the age of two years Nov. 1, 1904, is eligible to this contest, nor shall any employe or party connected with this paper be eli gible to vote.
 Second Every issue of the Daily and Weekly Independent from November 1 to December "A, will contain a ballot entitling the holder to one vote in this contest. For every dollars worth of job, work, advertising and subscription paid for between these dates a coupon good for ten votes will be issued, but no cou- pons will be issued for sums less than $1.0O. Coupons will not be sold, and will only be issued for job, ad and subscription busi- ness, but extra copies of the ln- dependent at 2 cents per copy, each containing one ballot, will be sold at this office.
 Third All votes must be sent to this office and will be de- posted in a lock box, to be opened at 8 o'clock each publication day and counted. The daily issue of that afternoon will contain the total of the several candidates and the public will thus be kept informed of the voting each day.
 Fourth "A committee of three good business men will be select ed to canvass the ballots the morning of Dec. "A and announce the winner. All ballots must be deposited at this office by Il a. m., Dec. "A, 1904.
 Read the rules carefully.
