womAN's BIG HAT.
A Lesson Given to One Who Needed
.---.- 1t in New York Theater

That some women will not remove
their hats in theaters until compelled
so to do is a selfevident fact says
the New York Press. An Instructive
lesson was taught in a popular play
house a few night ago. A gentleman
and his wife occupied a box in the
second tier, Immediately behind a
couple in one of the first tier He
sat behind madame, his wife behind
monsieur. Madames millinery reach.
ed to. the moon and was all lingerie
and yard wide. After craning his
neck till it looked like the skintight
cervical vertebrae of a gralotorial
giant, he said to his wife in a voice
that carried six feet: Are you able
to see the stage?' "Oh, yes; 1 can see
quite well. And you?" ''See? Not at
all! 1 am hopelessly shut out Is the
curtain up? Is the play going on?'
Monsieur turned quickly, fiercely com
batively, eyed the speaker, made a
mental estimate of his abilities, then
whispered savagely to madame, and
off came the skyscraper.
The story recalls the first time in
New York in recent years when eff
forts were made to persuade women tc
remove their hats in playhouses. 1t oc-
Cured in Days theater one night that
a man in an orchestra chair was shut
out by a magnificent Gainsborough
His frequent hens and haws were I'M
noticed Finally a brilliant plan
forced itself into his mind. Picking
up his silk hat from the floor he
placed it upon his head and straight
ened up. Immediately there came
from the rear of the house: take of
that haiti ..Off with that hati" The
wearer of the Gainsborough in 6
panic hastily complied whereupon the
man returned his hat to the floor
which action was followed by chorus
of satisfactory "Ahsi" Possibly the
woman does not yet know that the
silk hat was the object of attack.

Business in the Home.
The adoption of business principles

The case was appealed to the United States supreme court, which also affirmed the decisions of both the lower courts. As the case now stands the title to the property of the Copper King of Arizona, involving two claims near Bisbee, has been awarded to Mir. Johnson and his associates.

ITS A FAST RACETRACK
klotzbaoh Says so and He is in a Posi-.
 ton to Know

''The race track at the territorial
 fair grounds will be one of the fastest
 tracks in the country, and it may prove
 to be the very fastest" That was the comment made yesterday by George
 klotzbach, who has charge of the w.
 C. Greene string of fast horses here and he insists that he knows what he is talking about. He has pulled the rib
 bons over good many race tracks and knows a good one when he sees it, but his comment yesterday was made after little tryout of the Greene horses, and directly to refute some doubts he has heard expressed that the track was not likely to be good one. He wants the whole world to know that it suits him and he is inclined to be bit particular for he has some ponies that he intends to make records with and naturally wants good track for the purpose.
 The Greene horses only got here the first of the week rom New York and of course he does not want to begin pounding them on the back for speed until they get well rested from their long railroad trip. Nevertheless he gives them daily exercise and is grad ually pulling the speed out of them. Yesterday he spurted a bit with Bill ings, the three year old pacer who has demonstrated already that he can go some. Mir. Klotzbach logged him round for mile 2:l4 and didn't half try He didn't want him to travel any faster. Then he put Florence Wilton between the shafts and paced her mile in 2:17A The next tryout was Paul D. Kelly, the wonderful two year old, who worked off 2:26A while Mir. klotzbach rode in the sulky and waited The track is all right for me, concluded Mir. Klotzbach and by fair time it is likely to be prov ed as fast as any in the world. Re publican.

CONDUCTOR 0'SHEA
 KILLED AT FL PAS0
Was a Genuine Irish Wit and Famous
 for Spontaneous Repartee


 One of the best known railroad con ductors in the southwest was killed a few days ago by being crushed by his train at Fl Paso. He was Mike o Shea who ran freight train on the Eastern division of the Fl Paso and Southwest ern. He was conductor on the Fl Paso division of the Rock Island for many years and had run trains on other roads in Texas and New Mexico. He was famous in railroad circles through out the country for his ready wit. His witticisms have travelled all through the United States, and no railroad man visited Fl Paso without meeting Mike O'Shea, in order to enjoy at first hands his inimitable wit.
 O'Shea was in charge of freight train on the Rock Island out of Fl Paso few years ago, and one day his train got caught between sidings, and through a series of misfortunes, it caused long delay to the Golden State limited, which was the through overland pas senger train en route to the Pacific

coast. This ''hold-up" of the star train of the road was a terrible offense to the officials of the line, and when O'Shea pulled his train up at station after he had let the Golden State limit ed by, he found telegram from Gen eral Manager w. R. Martin addressed to him, demanding an explanation of the "hold-up." O'Shea read the tele- gram and handed it to the engineer of his train, with the words:
 An what do you think of that?"
 Tt looks like trouble" the engineer replied.
 O'Shea called for telegraph blank, and here is what he wrote and wired in reply to MT. Martins telegram: ''The wind was high and the steam was
 low:
 The train was heavy and hard to tow; The coal was bad and full of slate That's why l detained the Golden

AN AGREEMENT REACHED
 BETWEEN s. p. AND s. F,

There have been various railroad deals in course of incubation between the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe for several weeks, and the Enterprise is reliably informed that one of the most important of all has been consummated which is that each company's trains will run on the same track through Gila Canyon, which has been made famous by the extensive litigation that both companies have been engaged in.
 The canyon is narrow, and will per init of only one track being laid through it. According to the present agree ment, one track will be built, both com panies standing for the expenses, and will be used by them both from Dud- leyville to San Carlos, if not farther.
 If the above information, published in the Phoenix Enterprise, proves cor rect, trains of both the Southern Pa cifc and Santa Fe will be passing through the Gila Valley before long.

 The appointment of Walter B. Kib- bey of the firm of Clark and Kibbey, Prescott, to be assistant United States attorney for Arizona has been announc- ed. Mir. Kibbey will succeed c. l. Me Reynolds, who has filled that office since early in the year. MT. Kibbey is a son of the governor.
 Governor Kibbey has appointed Watson Pickrell, member of the Tempe Normal school board to fill the vacancy caused by the late resignation of Rev. F. l.. Drew. In view of the services which MT. Pickrell performed for the Normal during the late legislature no position in connection with that greatly benefited school would be too good for him.
 Tempe and Mesa are rejoicing in a sesaon of prosperityheretofore unknown and it bids fair to last at least until the government work at Roosevelt is com pleted. The freight arriving daily for the government work keeps great many teams on the move.

You are entitled to single statehood and will be admitted before long,"
 Halver Steenerson, Minnesota: 'I had no conception of the greatness of Arizona until l made this trip. You have wonderful country here. My personal observations at this time have taught me much, have shown that much that has been contained in com mittee reports in congress and that a great deal that was said in debate was untrue. The sentiment in Arizona seems solidly against joint statehood and that New Mexico is about evenly divided. The jointure advocates ap- parently do the talking, but l have noticed that the business men and prominent citizens are against it. The members of our party are certainly against jointure since they have seen for themselves conditions in the two territories. "
 Harry L. Maynard, Virginia: "If joint statehood depends on my vote it will be defeated l believe the state hood matter will be disposed of at the coming session of congress by admit ting Oklahoma and the Indian Territory and doing nothing with reference to Arizona and New Mexico. However, such a territory as Arizona will sooner or later force congress to action.
 Herman P. Goebel, Ohio "The en- tire party is undoubtedly against joint statehood. It would be almost crime to merge such rich territory as you have here with any other to the end that one state might be admitted"
 Martin B. Madden, Illinois: '1 am opposed to jointure and would urge the people of Arizona to present their strongest arguments against being joined with New Mexico in statehood before the next congress"
 Charles K. Davis, Minnesota: 'I have so far refused to be interviewed on the statehood matter but l may say that l have been greatly surprised at what l have seen since coming to Ari- zona and am greatly impressed with your territory and believe you have a brilliant future before you"
