An Acting Boss.


a man as Senator Clark has given MIR. Hull
the architect and will take from two to
FIVE years to make it habitable, enough
worry to have driven less philosophical
man crazy. Mr.. Clark knows what he
wants in a general way, but makes no
pretense to knowledge Of artistic details.
He is crotchety, irascible man, hard to
please and unappreciative of excellent
work. He is enormously rich wants the
very best of everything regardless of cost,
but Is keenly sensitive to suspicion that any
one is trying to get the better of him. The
consequence is Mr. Hull has had a most
difficult task And he is not through his
difficulties yet. for the building of this
house has disrupted the firm of Lord.
Hewlett & Hull, and the litigation ever
the partnership is still pending in the
courts. The vicissitudes and obstacles
that have been overcome in the course of
the seven years since the plans for the
house were first drawn will be understood
after reading the story of its building.
The building is lis feet deep on Seventy
seventh street, seventy-seven feet on Fifth
avenue and 100 feet in the rear, making in
all between 5000 and 1880 square feet.
In the basement Of the Fifth avenue end
is Turkish bath with plunge twenty
five feet wide by fifty long. lined with
Carrara glass. Tho walls of this are
wainscoted with the same glass. The cell

More money has been poured out In

at the northeast corner of Fifth evenue

than was ever before spent on a house in
America. The house is not so large as that

elaborateness Of decoration none of these
approaches IT.
BY the time senator and Mrs. Clark can
live in 1t the house will have cost S5,OOO,OO
This is no mere guesswork estimate, but
one based on a careful calculation made
by Mr.. Washington Hull. the architect and
designer And. he adds, the house may
cost as much more as Mr.. Clark likes to
spend on paintings, hangings, rugs, bric-

THE MARRIAGE OF KITTY
A Skillful Presentation at the Doris
 Theatre Last Night.

Nobody who was there blamed him. You would have done it, anybody would have done it. We would have been angry If he had not done it. One of the best satisfied audiences that has left the Doris theater this season fil- ed out after witnessing the perform ance presented there last evening and it was well satisfied because Sir Re ginald Belsize, a character in the cast taken by MT. Harrison J. Wolfe, had the good sense to fall in love with Kitty Silverton, the character taken by Miss Alice Johnson. The piece was "The Marriage of Kitty" and the com pany one of MT. Jules Murry's.F
 Just why MT. Wolfe would waste his time playing Hamlet. as he did last season, when he can delight an au- dience as he is able to with his com edy work is hard to understand. Miss Johnson, always charming, improves in looks each year. The rest of the com pany, and there are only four more. MT. Hall who took the character of John Travers, MT. Belden who was buttons once and the butler later Miss l Chapple who played the French maid, Rosalie. and Elsie Baird who took the

 The story so delightfully."- told is of the young Englishman, Sir Reginald Belsize, who loves a widow (Madama De Semiano) but cannot marry her without forfeiting the estate left him by an uncle Furthermore the will provided that he must by a certain date be married to some one anybody not a widow. solicitor (John Ira vers) arranges a marriage with his godchild (Kitty) the couple to live apart and allow the widow and Sir Belsize to travel in Europe, cha | peroned by a maiden aunt for some ! eighteen months and later return, claim the estate. be divorced from his wife of convenience and marry the woman he loves, the widow. The ar engagements are made and Kitty takes up her solitary life while her husband and his widow tour the continent. When she married him her beauty was disguised and after he has travelled for nearly a year he suddenly returns home catches her unawares and dis covers for the first time what a truly handsome wife he really has.
 The situations are many for fun making and all of them are taken ad- | vantage of MT. Wolfes work of eX- pression was exceptional and truly he must have spent some years of his life coming the young English gentlemen Of course it is necessary to give the story a climax to have the widow catch him making love to his own wife and for a time he professes to love the wi dow and promises to remain true tC his original contract. But the smile: and the wiles of the clever Kitty fin ally triumph and he takes her away that they may enjoy their married lift unmolested. a bridal tour after on' year of married life.

SPECIAL FAIR RATES
The E. P. 9 5. W.'s Encouragement of Cochise County to Come to Phoenix.

The Fl Paso and Southwestern rail- road has announced a special excur- sion rate schedule of prices that ought to bring everybody in Cochise county to the fair, who has any money at all. These tickets will go on sale Decem- Der 23, and will be good on train No. and all branch line connections, on the 24th, 18th, 26th, 27th and 2Sth, or all the fair days except the last one. It is presumed that everybody who comes to the fair from that distance will try and be here on or before Saturday morning The tickets are good for re- turn on January ?, so fair visitors can stay here over Sunday and Monday if they choose.
 If Cochise county people do not take advantage of this opportunity 1t must be something besides railroad rates that will hold them back. One can ride almost as cheap as he can stay at home. Here are the rates for round trip tickets from various towns to Phoenix and return: From Fairbank, S5.7O; Tombstone, S5.95; Hereford, s6.35; NacO, S67O; Osborn, $6.S0; Bis bee.

picnics or outings and also with some
thing of more solid nature, such as
lectures by eminent speakers. The
council has also taken an interest in
deserving work that does not pertain
directly to its own welfare, such as
fairs or picnics given for the benefit of
local charitable institutions.
The order also provides the best and
safest life insurance in amounts of
$1,000. $4,000 or $4,000, based on what
is known as the natural plan,"' or
"step rate" conceded by actuaries to
be the fairest and most reliable plan
of insurance yet devised. The risks
are carefully selected and extra haz-
ardous occupations barred. A reserve
fund Of over$1 1920, 900 has been accumu-
lated and this with the careful and
conservative management of the insur-
ance department, makes a policy in the
Knights of Columbus an absolute asset
for its full face value.
Much could be written Of the good
already accomplished by the. knights
of Columbus through this department,
but that would be, to a certain extent,
perhaps, only repetition Of accounts
of similar good work Of kindred organi-
cations along the same lines. 1t is the

life insurance that makes a policy in
the Knights of Columbus so attractive
a business proposition.
Another work of national Importance
accomplished by the Knights of Colum-
bus was the endowment of chair of
history in the Catholic University
at Washington, $4,000 being subscribed
for that purpose by the members
throughout the United States. Surely
the Knights Of Columbus have reason
to be proud Of the work accomplished
along many lines throughout the
United States and is destined to accom-
plish much more for church and coun-
try. The Catholics Of Minneapolis
should be proud of the fact that a
council Of the order is established here
and men who are eligible should avail
themselves of the present opportunity
to affiliate with the society. The Of
1cers of Hennepin Council for the pres
ent year are: Grand Knight, Rev. J. M.

Knights of Columbus.
BY Dr.y. T. Boylan Recorder


Among the leading Catholic lay Or
CARNATIONS the knights of Columbus
must be given high place. The Or
der was established in 1882 at New
Haven, Conn.,, by Rev. M. ]. McGiv-
ney, more for the purpose of having
some form of social and bene, .lent
organization for the men Of his par
ish than with any thought or eAp..
tation of its attaining its present mag
nificent proportions. But he buildeu
better than he knew. The principles
of the Order were cast on such a high
plane and fraught with such splendid
possibilities for good that its field Oh
action has extended farther and farthe.
until today a Council Of the Order is
to be found in nearly every city of
any consequence in the United States.
The personnel of the Order Is Of a
high character, and membership in its
ranks is an honor to any man.
Numbered among its members ma,
be found archbishops, bishops and
priests, professional and business men;
in fact. the representative Catholics,
clerical and lay, in the various cities
in which the Order is established.
Founded in the Fact and following the

example of the great explorer in whose
honor it was named, the Order began
its journey westward, and in due
course of time the benefit of member
ship therein was brought to the at
tention of the Catholics of this city.
Accordingly in August of 1899, about
a dozen men from the different par
ishes met and organized a Council,
naming it in honor Of that other great
Catholic explorer. Father Hennepin.
The following gentlemen were elected
as the first officers of the new Council:
Grand Knight, T. E. Cootey; Deputy
Grand Knight, T. E. NewloNe Finan-
cial Secretary, J. c. sheehan; Record
er, P. J. Riordan; Treasurer, NJ. A. Ger
Der; Chaplain Rev. J. M. Cleary; Med
ical Examiner, DR.. A. NJ. Wang.
From this small beginning Hennepin
Council has made vigorous growth
and today has membership of three
hundred and seventy-five, and a large
lass is to be initiated in the near
'uture. The council leased and fur
lished its own hall and club rooms,
which are kept open at all times for
the use Of members and also provides
a place where visiting knights may be
-ntertained. AS a change from the
more serious work of the organization,
the council frequently entertains its
members and friends at private or
semi public affairs such as card parties,
