or later?

thrower, the Prince could not have caused her
death party of motorists to his rescue
at the instant of the attack, and Armstrong him
self had left him still in their company.
The thing bristled with difficulties. A visit to
Scotland Yard did not seem so essential after half
hours quiet reflection as it appeared when he
first read the sensational paragraph in the paper
Ultimately, he decided that whatever the per-
sonal inconvenience caused, his contemplated visit
to Paris must be postponed if necessary and Lord
birmingham taken into his confidence. Again, it
not compatible with the friendship existing
between himself and the members of the Valletort
household that he should rush to Scotland Yard
and drag them into notoriety suspicion.
No; he must conquer his feelings, return to
Ascot and explain things fully to birmingham;
also, perhaps, to Prince Boris If the latter chose
to clear up details hidden his explanation
might eXonerate Stephanovitch from suspicion.
Obviously, the discreet to adopt was for
Frank to present himself at The Cedars by the

The mansion was one of the many fine country
seats which may be rented about time in the
neighborhood of Ascot. It's lawns, gardens and
ornamental grounds were laid out with exquisite
taste. From the point of view of young people
engaged in the diverting pastme of Irritation,
the more thrilling delights of love-makng, it was
earthly Paradise of shaded walks and rustic seats
conveniently disposed beneath overhanging trees.
Several couples seemed to have discovered its
potentalites in other of these respects this
evening. The majority of the guests were faithful

Merry Christmas.

The Republican this morning wishes
 its readers a Merry Christmas. Its of fering is its Christmas number in eel ebratiOn both of the day and the fair.
 This edition speaks for itself. It con~
 tains the interesting story of the first territorial fair, which will some day be valuable history. It tells in a suc- cinct form the stories of the counties and their resources, their climates. churches and their schools. Much has been written of Arizona, but there is much in these pages never printed un-
 til now. All the information the pros pective immigrant would first ask for is here in a form to be easily grasped and understood. All can not be told of Arizona all at once, but a founda- tion can be laid for intelligent inquiry regarding those things 1t is desired to know. That has been accomplished in the present number of The Republi- can. What is herein set forth has the very valuable merit of being re- liable, something sometimes wanting in special editions"
 The Republican has become such an integral part of Phoenix, the Salt Riv- CT valley and the territory that the story of its vicissitudes is necessarily an interesting one to Arizonians.

The First Territorial Fair.

Welcome all of Arizona to Phoenix, to the territorial fair. Interest in it is perhaps more intense in Phoenix graphical consequence. But it is no more Phoenix's fair than it is Bisbee's fair, or Yuma's fair. The proper pro- prietorship of the fair has been rec ognized throughout the territory, and when it's success will be announced as it will be next Saturday night, the secret of it will be the generous CO., operation of all parts of the territory.
 The fair will be unique in regard to the season of the year for holding it. There have been mid-winte- fairs before. San Francisco had one several years ago, but the name was mislead- ing to those to whom a fair Is an out of door event. The San Francisco fair was an indoor exposition. Duluth could hold a mid winter fair.
 But the Arizona fair will resemble in its out of door character. the county and state fairs with which is asso- ciated the exposition of the products of the farms, the mines, the factories and the homes. These fairs are usu- ally held in mid-autumn after maturity of crops and when the stress Of the seasons agricultural duties has been partly relieved. This fair will be held when other fair grounds are ice bound or covered deep with snow. There are few places in the United States diversi- fled as the climate is where a fair could be opened on December 25.
 The event beginning today is the continuation of the great exercise of energy, begun early in the days of the Twenty-third legislature and continu-

BEFORE DINNER TIME
 RELIEVE THIS CASE
Extreme Destitution of Mrs. Whit
 temore Living East of Town.

A sorrowful case of destitution was brought to light and it should oe re- lieved by kindly hearted people before it is time to sit down to Christmas dinners. Yesterday morning Mrs. Whittemore, living, or rather starving, in a little frame hut amid a clurnp of mesquite, a half mile this side of the asylum, on the Tempe road came to town carrying little piece of needle work which she wanted to enter in the territorial fair exhibit. Most women who will be represented at the wo- mems department at the fair only hope that their skill will be recognized for the prizes are entirely inconsequential But to Mrs. Whittemore, the prize, how ever small, means everything for she is on the point of starvation. She is kept from it by a woman living in a tent near by, almost as poor as she but not quite so helpless.
 Mrs. Whittemore walked to town. On her way she found d dime. It made her happy. It was not only an unusual streak of luck, but it would enable her to ride to the end of the Washing ton car line on her way home and then she would have only a mile to walk Nobody knew of the destitution of the woman. She had asked for no aid from the county or the neighbors and her story came out only incidentally to her coming to town to see about putting that small piece of needle work into the contest at the territorial fair
 Mrs. Whittemore is the wife of J. J. Whittemore, a former attorney of this city. He moved here from the east on account of the health of his wife. He came into ill repute soon after coming to Phoenix but for a time he seemed to be kind to his wife who assisted him in his law business for she had studied law and possibly had been admitted to the bar before coming west. Anyway. she knew more law than her husband.
 Whittemore was never a model man but after living here a year or two he became a disgrace to the community. He neglected to provide for the sup port of his wife and finally left her altogether for notorious prostitute Two or three years ago he went away, saying that legal business in the east called him away for a short time. Phoe- nix has never seen any more of him. Two or three months ago man by the name of J. J. Whitmore was killed in railroad wreck not far from Kansas City. It has been feared in Phoenix that he was some other Whittemore.
