SATURDAY MATINEE
Operetta "All the Year Round" at the
 Doris Yesterday.

An appreciatiVe audience greeted the production of All the Year Round
 at the Doris yesterday afternoon. Miss Welch needs no introduction to Phoenix music lovers, and any of her productions are always met with en- thusiasm. The presentation of the operetta had been looked forward >to for some time and was most pleasantly received. The choruses were unusual ly fine, and showed most careful drill ing, while the solo work was except ional for such young singers. MT, Frank Meyers, as ''The Stranger GOV cred himself with glory, by his manly appearance and fine presentation.
 Little George Morgan, representing Winter, sang very sweetly, though hampered by cold; Miss Lucia HartweIl sang the part of Spring fine ly, and Miss Dixie George, as Summer, looked her part and sang 1t well. Per haps the most lengthy work fell to Misses Lillie Butler and Hazel Mar shall and their singing was very fine.
 The Indian band played unusually we'll and their music was well receiv- ed. But the crowning number was the reading by Miss Kunkel of Paris; it is seldom that Phoenix has an oppor- tunity to hear such a talented, elocu- tionist and her reading was mulch ap- preciated. She gave the grave-diG- ging scene from Hamlet" and gra- ciously responded to an encore with "Cuddle Doon." Her enunciation is exceptionally clear and her reading was without the "stagey'' effect so often seen in amateurs; every motion bespoke the professional reader, and told of her experience on the stage.
 The oDeretta will be remembered a long time as one of the best amateur entertainments ever seen in Phoenix.

persons present. C. B. Wood was chairman of the meeting and there was a very harmonious discussion of the situation. Many of those who had opposed the bonds at the previous election expressed a change of view and there was a consensus of opinion that the improvements suggested were actually needed and that it would be better to issue bonds for them than to resort to a tax legy. A motion was made to request the board to call an election but some of those who have all along been in favor of the bonds believed that in view of the light attendance at the meeting it would be better to let the matter go over to another meeting. In the mean time it was resolved to get together all the information on the subject possible and lay it before the forth coming meeting which it was decided to hold three weeks from yesterday.
 Accordingly a committee of three was appointed fIom the country to act in conjunction with the school board for the collection of information. With an architect they will go over the school building and make an estimate of the needed improvements and the cost of them.
 There were several things which contributed to the defeat of the bonds at the last election. One of them was a story of the extravaganza of the board in allowing the teachers a months extra pay last year to assist In defraying their expenses at train ing schools. As a matter of fact no such allowance was made and that fact will be a part of the information to be laid before the next mass meeting There is little doubt at that time there will be a unanimous request for the board to call an election and from the temper of the country districts re- fiected in the meeting of yesterday there is no likelihood that there will be great opposition to the proposal to issue bonds for the improvements which have been recommended.

TOLD TT IN SEA TALK.
Dry Land Court Scene Enlivened by
 Nautical Language.

An associate judge of the Oklahoma supreme court, who has had a varied experience during his residence in the territory, tells a good story of a wit ness who 'tripped his anchor" and it happened right in Judge H-'s court room, when he was but an humble jus tice of the peace out in the new coun- try.
 The witness at hand was a typical jack tar, and among other peculiarities of seamen, it is well known that they have an inveterate tendency to de- scribe everything in the language of the sea. This peculiarity was strikingly exemplified in the case of the old boats wian who had been called in connection with the trial and added another color to the rainbow of the courts varied ex- perience so far from water-and where it didn't even rain many times a year.
 Now, MT. Smith," said the lawyer, you will be good enough to tell the court precisely what you saw concern ing the prisoner at the bar"
 Well" said Jack, ye see, twas like this: I was dodgin' along in the lee of the town hall, just backing and fillin' so's t'let little cutter I was expectin' range up dlOHSSlQe, when all or a sud- den that fellow opened out the har- bor lights and came along like the Fly in Dutchman. When he comes under my lee he jammed his helm hard down and stood away on the mort tack until he nearly fouled the pier head. Then he put his wheel up and bore away be- fore good ten-knot."
 My dear sir" said the lawyer, this jargon is utterly unintellligible to the court. You must be more explicit Was not the night on which you saw the prisoner a. particularly stormy one?"
 "Oh, we'll" replied the Jackie, "you could have carried your topsails easy enough, and your courses. too, but it would hardly have been safe to set your topgallants without a double reef in each of them"
 This is not answering my question, '' cried the lawyer. About what time was it on the night on which you saw the prisoner?"

PROJECTED RAILROAD.
From Tucson to the Twin Buttes Mine
 in Pima County.

It is currently reported that Mayor David S. Rose who went out to the Twin Buttes mine this week is con- templating the building of a railroad from Tucson to this property, a dis tance of twenty-eight miles. It has been demonstrated that ore can be worked at a greater profit when a shelter is near some city and on the main line of a railroad. This con- sideration led the Phelps-Dod com pany to remove their smelters from Douglas to Bisbee. Mayor Rose has behind him large Wisconsin capital and it is said that he is ready to un- Gertake the building of a railroad and smelter when the Twin Butte. property is fully developed.-Tucson Post.
 subjected to the punishment wants no more of it, though he may be smiling within few moments after the ordeal is over. Gov. Chamberlain and the prison authorities are highly pleased over the result of the experiments, for they have been desirous of abolishing the whio.
 Only one prisoner has been flogged during this administration. That man was a trusty and had run away, and upon being captured was given the penalty always imposed in such cases up to that time. Since then two pri- soners have been punished with the cold water remedy. One of them was a big burly negro. When he came to the prision he was assigned to work in the shops but refused to obey orders. He asserted that he didn't have to work and wouldn't work. He was taken to the bath room, stripped and stood in a corner. The first spurt of water from the hose brought out a shriek that was evidence of the effectiveness of the remedy. After trying for half minute to dodge the stream of cold water, the man gave up and began to beg and make promises. The punish ment ended, he went to work, and has given no further trouble.
 The other prisoner subjected to the

THE SUPREME COURT
Day Given Largely to Denying no-
 tions for Rehearing.

The territorial supreme court held two sessions yesterday and adjourned to October 29. There had been an un- detstanding that the court wauld meet on May 16, but that was based on a misunderstanding. A new petition for q writ of mandamus had been filed by Martin Buggeln, of Coconino county against p. M. Doe, district attorney for that county requiring him to institute proceedings against certain persons who are occupying, it is alleged with out right, the Bright Angel road. It was stipulated that the petition should be submitted to Chief Justice Kent in chambers on May 16, and from that cir curastance grew the impression that there would be a meeting of the court on that date. The chief justice decided that he could not act upon the pati- tio1 alone. The petition was, therefore, argued yesterday by MT. Clotfelter for the petitioner and briefs were ordered filed within thirty days.
 Teodora Elias, the murderer of Off, cer Katzenstein at Tucson, was led a step nearer the gallows yesterday. At the last meeting of the court the judg- ment of the lower court convicting him of murder in the first degree was af- firmed. There was a motion for re- hearing and yesterday that was de- nied. It is not likely that any further legal resistance will be made.
 h the case of Charalou ct al, appel lants, vs. Price and Shields, appellees, from Pinal county, the judgment of the court below was affirmed. A motion to retax the costs was der.ied in the case of Charles M. Taylor, appellant, against Thomas Burns, Cochise county. In the case of Jake Marks ct al. appellants, against the Bradshaw Mountain rail- road, a motion for a rehearing was de- nied. A similar order was made in the case of Ernest Hall against the terri tory, from CoconinO county. In this case the appellant was a sewing ma chine peddier who was arrested for selling machines without a license. No tice of appeal was given. A motion for rehearing was denied in the-case of the Gila Bend Reservoir and Irrigation company against the Peoria Canal company. There was a notice of ap- peal
 A motion! for a rehearing was denied in the case of the Valley bank against Governor Brodie aud. other members of the loan commission. This was an ap- plication for a writ of of mandamus to compel the commission to fund the so- called Tombstone warrants. In the case of Charles MacRitchie, appellant, againts Helena Stevens and others, ap- peIlees, Pinal county, motion for a re- hearing was denied and notice of ap- peal was given.
 There was an application for Wrlt of habeas corpus in the case of Fran cisco Mapula~ Graham county. The application was based upon the fact that Mapula had been indicted TOT murder and had been convicted or murderous assault. The writ was de- nied. K. K. Scott, of Tucson, and J. M. Ross, of Prescott, were admitted to practice.

water cure was a white man. For several months he had been giving trouble, and seemed to find enjoyment in disobeying rules, even when he gain ed nothing by it. Small penalties did no good, and he was finally warned that another offense would bring se- were consequences. A few days later he deliberately violated an important regulation and was sent to the bath room. He began to beg before the water struck him. and before a pailful of water was used he was completely subdued. Before he had dressed again he was laughing over the punishment, but his subsequent conduct has proved that he doesn't intend receiving a sec ond dose of water cure.
 There are men in the Oregon peni- tentiary who bear fiogging scars that they will carry to their graves. It is but fair to say that the scars were not received during this administration. Some of the men thus punished are still unconquered and are perhaps more vii cious and more desperate because of the method of ipfiicting pain. Many a prisoner has sworn that if he ever gets an opportunity he will take the life of the officer who has laid the lash across his back. Flogging was degrad- ing to both the prisoner and the man who imposed the punishment. The prisoner was stripped and bound and fogged until, in many instances the blood flowed down his back. Not so with the water cure. The prisoners are not bound nor cut and bruised. The cold water cure leaves the offending prisoner with a cleaner body and ap- parently more peaceful mind.

THE HIGH SCHOOL BONDS
A Favorable Sentiment Toward Them
 in Yesterdays Meeting.

A meeting of the residents of the Union high school district was held at O'Neill hall yesterday afternoon to consider the matter of holding another bond election for the purpose of pro- curing funds for needed improvements at the high school. The bonds were defeated at the last election largely by the voters of the country districts composing the high school district. The opposition of the country mem bers rested largely on a misapprehen- sion of tie situation.
 The attendance at the meeting yes terday was made up for the most part of members from the country but all together there were only about thirty
