The variety of veiws presented by the Camera Cub on last Thursday evening in the Gymnasium, was the most pleasing of all that have been shown to the public. Because of sev- eral other social affairs, during the same evening a number were disap- rointed in not being able to attend.
 The first pictures thrown on the canvas were the efforts of the Bisbee Club, and exhibited for the pleasure of a number of the Phelps-Dodge Co.,, from the East.
 Following these were productions of MT. Schneck of the Buffalo Camera Club consisting of wild birds, some of which were blue birds, hngfishers and heron.
 The Focal plane Shutter work was especially enjoyable to those interest ed in baseball and horse races. The view representing the ball in air after being struck was well received and Fighting IL Out Down the Home stretch, feat supposed to have been accomplished in 1-1200 second was so true to life that some of the observers became quite excited. The selections from the Columbian Photographic So- ciety of Philadelphia, were scenes de- scriptiye of New York bay and river with their numerous sailboats. These water scenes are especially restful to the eyes after seing so little of any thing except barren mountains. That Kid photograph of a child lying on fur rug, and expressive of per feet contentment, was another "best" one and appreciated by the audience. Among so many to be chosen from it is hard 10 decide which is really the best, and since few people think alike the decision may safely be left to the individual who will no doubt say, They were all good"

 On Wednesday evening of last week Mir. and Mrs. Geo. Buxton of Quality Hill received in honor of their sister, Miss Smith of Phoenix.
 Owing to the large circle of friends of the host and hostess the reception was held in the Woman's Club build ing.
 Over a hundred guests accepted the gracious invitation and enjoyed their hospitality. The assembly room was profusely decorated with smilax fes- tooned from the center of the ceiling to all parts of the rooms. From the ceiling also hung large branch of mistleto. the first of the season, and tied with beautiful bow of pink rib hon. IL was quite noticeable that the part of the room under the mistleto seemed most popular.
 Two large Chinese vases filled with chrysanthemums gathered from Bis bees flower gardens stood on the man tie. These vases were presented to the host and hostess on their wedding day.

whom It IS pleasure to become ac- quainted.
 Mrs. E. T. Schaw and Mrs. W. P. Sims received with Mrs. F1annigan.
 The reception room was prettily and uniquely decorated with Madeira vines and Chrysanthemums. Mrs. A. E. Hurst and Mrs. M. J. Brophy assisted by Mrs. F. E. Coles poured tea and chocolate. The table was laden with delicate confections and large boQuets of tea roses added to the pleasure and beauty of the scene.
 The rooms were illuminated with candles which stood in beautifully wrought candlesticks from Old Mexi- co. Mrs. Flannigan is the possessor of a number of old works of art brought from the City of Mexico and takes much pleasure in showing them to her many friends.
 Mrs. Sames, the honored guest, re. turned on Friday to her home in Doug las. where she resides with her son a prominent attorney of that city.

 In spite of the threatening weather on last Tuesday evening a goodly num- Der of men availed themselves of the opportunity to enjoy the SJereOpucan lecture given by Professor Douglas in Library Hall. The subject of his lecture. Worlds Fairs" was treated in a most masterly manner, illustrated with views of the expOsitions held in England. Belgium, France and the United States.
 He dwelt more especially upon the two held in Paris, the one in 1900 be ing extremely satisfactory. The Cen tennial Exposition" held in Philadel- phia 1876 the Worlds Fair" in Chi cago. 1893, the one in Buffalo, 1903, and the Louisiana Purchase Exposi- ton" in St. Louis last year were treat ed in a thorough manner. In his lec- ture he said;
 "The St. Louis Exhibit was the best ever given but was not well patronized by the eastern people. All buildings of the great fairs in Europe. since the Worlds Fair in Chicago. have been modelled after the famous White City, the poem in Architecture. None of the great Worlds Fairs has been a paying investment, the deficit at St. Louis being especially marked. And as a result many years will pass be- fore any one of the great nations will attempt to hold another representa- tive exhibition"
 At a number of these exhibitions, the Copper Queen Co.,. of which Pro- lessor Douglas has been president for so many years, displayed excellent exhibits of copper in all stages of pro duction.
 Hearty applause followed this lee ture and 1t was a disappointment to many not to be present.

of supporting the League of Munich
palities, it declares that it will act On
its own account-as If it were possible
for cole ectivities to exist independently
of public opinion-it will then be GER
tain that the hour has arrived for a
change of political leaders.
The present regime thwarts and op-
posses the popular will, ignoring the
desires and wishes of the people and
lends its aid to the government faction
and to its most favored acolytes.
The government has taught that
the popular will should be ignored.
That power which is independent
and divorced from the suffrage, has
converted the great electing masses in
to inoffensive sheep.
But popular government and power
is so legitimate, it is so absolute, that
even in the midst of gross usurpation
when it appears to be dead and COM
pletely ignored, governments and po-
liticiams have still to take account of
popular sentiment, and if only in ap-
perance, live in cordial relations with
it.
Porto Rico has reached the supreme
crisis in its life.
Everything is threatened and in
grave peril. Let no one imagine that
he is immune nor free from the dan
ger looming up on the horizon.
The instinct of preservation has been
awakened in the souls of the people
and an unquenchable desire to live
and to work out their ordained SAL
vation.
Let those who either Intentionally
or unknowingly are leading the people
to the sacrifice, have care. There
will surely be day of retribution.
Neither the most exquisitely turned
phrases nor the most glittering met
aphors, not even the most impassion-
ed efforts of oratory, will be able to
charm or destroy the public spirit
that on other occasions has perhaps
displayed lamblike resigation, but
which has now undergone decided
change.
We want policy that means sal
vation for all, that is based on the
public welfare; policy of economy
and of principles; one that is wise and
democratic and whose advanta ges and
benefits are for the people in general,
instead of being for the reward of
those hired men who have constitud-
ed themselves masters of the people
aud oracles of public opinion.

We have already said in our COM
men.s on the letter of the President
of the League of Municipalities to the
leaders of the political parties:
That the above Association does not
need the support of the political par
ties in order to have the supreme aut-
hority of public opinion; on the con-
trary. it is the political p rites that
have to support the resolutions and
acts of the patriotic League if they
wish to satisfy the desires of their
constituents and if they aspire to live
in accordance with public opinion.
The Republican party on Sunday
assumed an attitude which shows that
| it does not understand itself In the
me eting held by its most prominent
leaders on the above day, the absurd
decision was adopted of refusing to
give the support solicited by the Pres
ident of the League of Municipalities
in the work soon to be undertaken.
The opinion advanced for the adop-
ting of this attitude could not be more
erroneous
The League of municipalities was
organized because of the state of OPT
nion which vehemently protested
against the reigning political and So
cial discomfort.
Public opinion unanim ously decla =
red itself in favor Of the resolutions
adopted by the grand Asse m bly, held
on the Twenty Fifth of July, which
demanded the suppression of all the
causes of the general Insular discon-
tent.
In that assembly of the municipali-
ties, truly representative of the popu-
lar will, the vote was unanim ously in
favor of the work proposed. and the
action there taken met with the appro'
val of the entire country, which rejoi-
ced in the prospect of a new direction
to be taken in political matters. The
refore, unless the politicians wish to
see themselves deprived of popular
confidence and sympathy, succeeded
in public life by others and new par
ties with different leaders who know
how to obey and interpret the manda-
tes of popular opinion, they had better
not trifle too much with public senti-
ment.
The Republican party has already
disobeyed the pubic mandate.
1t remains to be seen what will be
the attitude of the Unionist party.
If it comedies With the views of the
assembly held on Sunday; if instead

TYPHOID: AN UNNECESSARY
 EVIL.

Every community can wipe typhoid fever off it's mortality lists. It is all a matter of pure water and proper health regulations. The average city of 100000 inhabitants wastes, perhaps, $500,0o0 a year on the luxury of having typhoid, and probably $100,000 more in efforts to avoid it. That amount of money, properly spent, would practi- cally eradicate the disease We have seen it does in the principal European cities; yet with the unprogressiveness in matters of public health which So strangely contrasts with the forward ing American spirit, our cities have continued to poison themselves and each other. I once heard a distinguish ed sanitarian say: Give me few million dollars and tie power to en- force the laws, and I'll make any city in the world typhoid proof
 Pure water and the equipment to keep it pure was his scheme. It is So simple, So saving of grief, pain and even of cash, that one wonders why civilization continues to permit a dis ease that ought to be as nearly obso- lete as it's distant cousin, typfus.
 All typhoid is traceable to polluted water. If for year the world were to stop drinking dilute sewage, typhoid fever would vanish from our vital sta- tistics. Nine-tenths of all infection comes direct from bad water; the oth- CT tenth would disappear if the princi- pal cause were eliminated Infected
