MESA SHOT HIS THUMB OFF.

M. M. McGrew met with an accident on Friday afternoon that cost him the thumb of his left hand. He also had d very close cali for his life. The acci- dent happened at Superior. He was driven there by Richard Drivathan, making the trip to Mesa between 5:S0 o'clock Friday afternoon and o'clock the next day. MT. McGrew is freight CT between Tempe and Superior and at the time of the accident was in front of Tom Kellys place at Superior. He was unloading some traps from a wagon. Among them was a loaded shotgun in a scahbard. McGreW climbed up on the wheel and reaching up caught the gun by the muZzle and pulled it down from behind the load. As soon as 1t was clear of the wagon it slipped from the scabbard and the hammer caught on a barrel rach. dls- charging the gun. Some of the shot struck McGrew in the face, though they were for the most part detlected by the heavy leather scabbard when he still held in his left hand and Whlch was literally shot to pieces. The hand was pretty badly shot and the thumb was entirely shot away. Some or the shot went through his hat penetrating the scalp. His wounds were bandaged as we'll as they could be and he was at once started toward the valley. He was taken to Tempe where he wall De treated by Dr. Jones. It is feared thar he will lose a part of his hand.

The Diva's Farewell Has Melted Hel
 $200, 1000 Up to Date.

Mime. Adelina Patti. who is now mak- ing her Hast farewell singing tour," in America, has made about $200,000 since she landed here last fall Her manager, Robert Grau, is about even now. He has awakened to the discovery that he is dealing with a woman whose bus mess qualities are as fully developed as her vocal powers.
 Every time the diva sings she re- ceives $5,O0O. That would be paid to her if the receipts were nothing. But says the contract. if the receipts of any concert are in excess of $7,50O, Mmo gets 50 per cent of all the money taken in over that amount. For instance, tf the receipts for any one appearance amount to $1O,00O Mime Patti has her guarantee of $5000 and in addition to this $1.250, making $6,25O in all. From what is left of the $10,000, MT. Grau has to pay the local managers per- centage, railroad fares, salaries of other musicians etc. When he has made these disbursements he finds that there is not much left for Robert Grau.
 A lawyer who is intimately acquaipt- ed with the circumstances of the Patti

tour explained why the public see so many dispatches to the effct that Mime. Patti did not sing at such and such d city The reason is that if the con- cert is cancelled MT. Grau does not have to pay the s5,OOO. sThis guarantee is not made for every appearance scheduled, but for every one that really takes place So, when the man in the box office reports the amount received is S3, 900 or $2,O00 or and such discour aging sum, MT. Grau decides to can eel the date and let the money be re- funded to the purchasers. That is con- siderable cheaper than going down in ones pocket for $5,000.
 There are still twelve more concerts in the tour. Most of them are in the south where Mime. Patti always has drawn large houses. MT. Grau hopes to make up on these twelve concerts what he has lost on others.
 Mime. Patti has encountered some pretty shrewd managers in the past when she came to America" said the lawyer and this time she has provided for herself well. That S4O,000 in trust company has been on hand all the time as payment for the last eight concerts if anything should interrupt the tour. Then the insertion of the 50 per cent clause was exceedingly wise. New York Times.

CLEARED A HUNDRED DOLLARS.
Q Grand Success Was the Entertain
 rnent at the Normal Friday.

Among the best entertainments ever held at the Normal was the one given by the Philomethian and Olympian societies Friday-nght in the Auditor ium.
 The first part of the entertainment was devoted to a farce entitled Tea at Four O'clock" in which the trials of a society woman on her afternoon at home were depicted true to life in that to each caller she was obliged to act pleasant, smile this way and that. while all the time she was just bored to death" Miss Clifford assumed this role, as Mrs. Effingham, and carried out her part in a charming manner. She was further tried by the fact that all the gentlemen callers who came that afternoon, came with the avowed intention of proposing to her, while she cared nothing for any of them. but had her attention centered on one. Arthur Rutledge, who at the begin ming of the play was absent.
 The most serious phase of the play was caused by a lady caller, Arabella roddington, who following the te~se instructions of her mother, not to let the conversation lag, caused much ex- eitement for the guests and great terpidation for their host by telling d story of a duel in which Arthur Rut- ledge figured as one of the partici- pants, and was possibly killed. Messrs. Corbell, Jones, Noble, Standage and Wilbur, as the gentlemen callers. played their parts in a most natural manner and Redden displayed exceD- tional ability as a servant.
 The play ended by the arrival of MT. Rutledge, the subsequent an- nOuncement of his enga cement to Mrs. Coddington, the discovery that the story of the duel was q hoax and the rongratulation of the happy pair by the guests.

 The second part of the entertain ment consisted of an operetta, Trial by Jury" This was familiar to many of the listeners as it had been pre- sented once before in Tempe It was nevertheless fully enjoyed and aDpre- ciated by the audience
 It was breach of promise trial and in all respects the defendant was worsted. It was partly his fault, as he refused to accept every proposition that was given him. As a final resort the judge took matters in hand and took the plaintiff himself
 Prof. J. l.. Johnstone, as the de- fendant, had the operetta in charge and the result reflects great credit upon him. Miss Clara Priest as the plaintiff sang in her usual excellent manner.

JUDGE PARI[ER'S STEADY
GROWTH.

From the first mention Of Judge
Alton b. Parker rs an available can
iidutc for the Democratic nominal
ton for the presidency, the trend of
public sentiment toward him has
been marked by strong, steady,
natural increase and development.
The favor he has found in the eyes
ST his cOuntrymen is not confined to
lis own state or to Il section it is on
the contrary, national in its scope and
character.
This evcr-rising, broadening and
deepening confidence, trust and pop
uIarity, prove conclusively that
Judge Parker possesses all the high
attributes and qualifications which
his friends and admirers have set
forth in his behalf. BY them he has
been placed on very lofty pedestal,
but neither in his own party, nor in
The opposition to it, has anyone been
found to question his right or his
title to stand on so great an emil
nence.
This is without precedent in our
politics. 1t proves that Judge fa7-
ker, should he get the Democratic
nomination. cannot be justly at
tackled on any ground whatever, that
publicly and privately, his career is
Without Il stain, his life without a
blpmsh. When to these moral
qualities are added great intellec-
.ual gifts, proved conservatism OF
character, sound views on all the
economic questions of the time,
steadfast adherence to the funda-
mental principles of Democracy and
geographical availability, the claim
of Judge Parker's friends that he is
the strongest man who could be
nominated must be conceded.

INFLUENCE OF COLD ON BLOOM.
Many fruit growers this year are
disappointed in the quantity of bloom
put out by their trees. This is es-
pecially true of orange and peach
trees. The query as to the cause OF
this condition is frequent. Trees
look splendidly, but some of them
are not blooming, others show bloom
only in places, instead of the full
bloom we expected, for there has
been no Injurious cold. This is the
general expression, among those
whose orchards are showing uneX-
pectedly little bloom.
There is really no mystery involv-
ed. The spotted or irregular charac-
ter of the bloom explains the actual
cause OF LIle COllulIlOus Ills yedl .
fruit is the product of last years
buds. Early last fall, therefore, the
embryotic fruit of thisyea had been
formed. Winter and spring have
brought ideal conditions, but on the
night of Nov. 2Sth, came a cold snap
carrying the thermometer to 70 below
over much Of the region interested.
As il result many buds were killed
before winter conditions set in. This
cold was accompanied by a high wind
from the southeast. Look at your
trees and see if the bloomless spots
and places are not on the southeast
side Of your trees, while the opposite
northwest side, protected in a meas
ure, often presents full crop. If
you find this condition true, as |
have, the riddle is solved.
