DAY OF HUSTLlNG
 FOR JUDGE PHILIPS
Matters Matrimonial Kept Him Un-
 usually Busy.

Probate Judge Phillips has spent the most of his time the last day or so in looking after matters matrimonial. The most important case he has had to deal with was one in which a wedding at Wickenburg was unavoidably held up for g few hours.
 Francisco C. Macillas a few days ago wrote to Probate Clerk George Kirk land for a marriage license for himself and Aurora F. Rodriguez He ad- dressed the letter to MT. Kirkland per sonaIly and that official being out of town the application did not reach Judge Phillips. In the meantime the applicants. having faith to believe the papers would arrive on time, arranged to celebrate theiI nuptials on Sunday morning. A Catholic priest went up from Phoenix to perform the ceremony. Sunday came and no license appeared. Then the Wickenburg people got busy over the telephone. They called up the probate jduge but by the time he reached the phone the line went out of business temporarily and he could not lind out what was wanted. This happened two or three times during the day and the matter went over until yesterday morning, when Mir Phillips was called up again. While he was en- gagged In talking, Father NONatuS. who presides over Catholic interests in this parish. came in, having been notified of the delay in proceedings al Wicken- burg. and having been asked to try to straighten out the matter.
 As soon as the judge found out the facts he issued the license, turned it over to Father Novatus and he in turn notified the priest in Wickenburg that everything was regular and he might proceed with the ceremony. It is sup posed. therefore, that there was de- layed but nevertheless a happy we'd ding in that city yesterday
 Licenses were also issued yesterday to Elmo North Of Pinal county and Miss Myrtle Brizzee of Mesa City and to Prince A. Cooper and Miss Bertha M. Cosner of Tempe.
 Another matter that claimed the judges attention yesterday was re- ferred to him by the city clerk, Frank Thomas. MT Thomas had received a letter from a hotelkeeper in Los An geles asking for a transcript of the record of marriage licenses issued here between July 10 and July IT. There was no intimation of the reason why this information was desired, but it was presumed the writer wanted to find out if somebody had been te ling the truth or not.

COLLEGE CONCERTS.

Colleges and schools both great and small, in every section of the country are developing more and more each year their music departments by secIIr- ing appearances of the great artists under college auspices. thus augment
 ing theoretical study of music by the living practical example of it's proper rendition by famous musicians.
 No pupil ever becomes a good musi- elan who had no opportunity of listen ing to great musical performances. This fact has been recognized by so many school authorities that concerts are now given in hundreds of colleges. many of which, to name only a few showing the national scope of the movement, secure such famous attrac- tions as the Damrosch orchestra. Madame Gadski. Madame Sembrich, David Bishpam. Harold Bauer. etc.
 Wellesley college spends thus about Sl,2OO year for three attractions: Smith about the same also MI. Hol- yoke; Cornell perhaps S5.0OO including spring festival; Wells about SI .O00: : Oxford and Delaware and ohio about the same: SpaTtanburg (Couverse) about sS,000 including spring festival. Marion. Ala. about $3.O0O for four or five concerts; Columbus. Miss. be- tween SS,000 and S10.OO0 for half a dozen big attractions: Baylor. Waco. about $2.500; LindsbOrg. Kansas as much Or. more: Pullman. Wash. g.. GOO. etc, etc. These colleges have mads themselves and their communities fla nous throughout the country by reason of their great concerts. It is the best and cheapest advertising possible. to say nothing of it's value to their stu dents. .In Spartanburg for instance. the business men of the town lend finan- cial support to the college festival be- cause from 1000 to 2O0O people from the surrounding come i-- to SpartanDurg for the festival and stav three days. The financial success of concerts given
 under college auspices was contributed not more tkan one-third by the stu dents as against two-thirds by the community outhside the college

A HAusA SLAVES OWN STORY.

Before my master returned from Ouragla. I planned again to escape with Bako. another slave; we would avoid the towns and go far north,' says Salam a Hausa slave whose thrilling account of his escape is told in Appletons for September. 'One day when we were alone branding cameis, we selected the fastest mehara in the heard and started. For seven days and nights we travelled without stopping. The hot sun beat down upon our heads; the second day a sandstorm dried up what little water we had in our goatskins By turn one of us. tied in his saddle. slept while the other led his camel. Sometimes We would slide down from the humps and allow the mehara to graze as we walked along We found no water, and the beasts began to show signs of thirst and uttered strange cries, grooming and gurgling as they redrank the water from their stomachs
 "One midnight We skiIted the out lying palms of an oasis. Everything was very clear in the moonlight and water was there, but We dared go no nearer the habitations for fear of cap ture. knowing Ahmed was not far be- hind us We frightened up the saddle
 
 and the saft parts of their humps had almost disappeared. Boko's saddle. made four loads. was hard to ride and had produced boils. so he would often sit behind t to vary the motion.
 Sick and weary, every stride of the mehara sent pain through us. We knew that we could not much longer cling to our saddles. so we lashed each other on. The last time that Bako fell to one side l was too weak to help him and he rode with his head hanging lower than his heals. The camel ticks burrowed into our skin. our tongues were cracked and bleeding when the mehara staggered into Ghadames-
 ':Some days after, the Turkish gov ernor Of that place sent us to Tripoh with caravan, to be taken before his brother the Bey. There we were made free. .'-Appleton's Magazine for Sep tember.

LuxURiEs FOR the BOARD.


Williamsburg, Va, May 22.-The
legislative investigation into the affairs
of the Eastern State Hospital was de-
void of startling statements today.
At one point in the proceedings, when
Special Accountant Boudar was testify
ing as to the number of Injuries that
were purchased, Senator Saddler, the
chairman, remarked, 'Is it possible for
the Board to eat up twenty-four Smith
field hams" to which Senator Rison
quickly responded, THAT depends on
the amount of whiskey they had con-
sumed," alluding to the whiskey cpl
sode, when the supply was taken from
the storeroom of the institution, be-
cause it was stated the board and the
committee were in the habit of paying
too frequent visits to that department.
The question of cigars purchased
brought out the fact that whereas the
old Board contented themselves with
the scent article, the new Board pre-
ferred higher grade.
An interesting statement was that
the special Board had been more eco
nomical in the management of the hos
pital's affairs than the old general
Board, and that while the members of
the old Board individually purchased
supplies, none of the new Board did so.
1t was brought out by Chairman
Saddler that the steward, the clerk and
the engineer are all drawing larger
salaries than the law directs, and the
emoluments have been received, when
it is distinctly set out that no such
thing shall be accepted.
Mr.. Boudar insisted that there has
been great laxity in the conduct of the
affairs of the institution, and that all
were responsible.
On cross-examination by Colonel
Lawless, Boudar had occasion TO make
an examination of the award book and
discovered that an insertion had been
made in the book since his previous ex-
animation. Mr.. Boudar said today in
discussing the matter that E. A. Saun-
ders had said that his check for $l75,
overcharge in -four, awaited the pleas
ure of the committee.

Lecture on "stouswaIr' jackson

Col. Geo. M. Edgar delivered very
interesting lecture on "Stonewall'
Jackson in the courthouse on Tuesday
night, the 22nd inst. Col. Edgar was
born and reared in Monroe county, Va,
NOW West Virginia) and is graduate
Of the Virginia Military Institute, being
a pupil of that institution while Jackson
was a professor there. He was Colonel
of Edgar's Battalion, one of the most
gallant of the many gallant bodies of
men that fought under the Confederate
flag.
Owing to the brief notice given the
crowd was small that attended the lee
ture; but those who were there enjoyed
, it most heartily. Col. Edgar's relations
with General Jackson were such as to
enable him to gain most accurate esti-
mate of the most wonderfully brilliant
general this country has ever produced.
The lecturer gave very graphic account
of Jackson's career as an officer in the
Mexicn war, as professor at the Military
Institute and as a great leader in the
Civil War. He shares with many the
opinion that as strategist and COM
manding officer "Stonewall' Jackson
has not been excelled in acient or mod
ern times.

An Unfortunate Tragedy.

On last Saturday afternoon at about
three o'clock very unfortunate trag
edy occurred at Witten's Mills, wher
Chas. F. Brown was mortally shot by
Henry McNew. For sometime un
friendly relations had existed be-
tween the two men, and the culmina
tion was a bloody encounter in which
one of the unfortunate parties, Brown,
lost his life and the other, McNew, is
now a prisoner in the county Jail.
Mr.. Brown was formerly engaged in
the mercantile business at Witten's
Mills, but for some months past had
been a commercial traveller. He was
only twenty-four years old and was
married year or two ago to Miss
Smoot, sister of T. R. Smoot.
McNew is blacksmith and for sever
al years had been running shop at
Witten's Mills. He shot Brown three
times, all the wounds inflicted being OF
a dangerous character, as they were
given in hand-to-hand encounter and
entered vital parts.
The wounded man was taken to a
hospital at Bluefeld that evening and
died there on Sunday afternoon. His
remains were brought back to Witten's
Mills on Monday and buried that after
noon in the Smoot graveyard. Six
members of the Virginia Council, No.
242, U. c. t., of Norton, Va, acted as
pail bearers. The deceased was men,
ber of that Council.
Shortly after the shooting occurred
McNew went to the home of his son-in-
law, Hugh Mathena, near Falls Mills,
and afterwards concealed himself until
Monday, when he surrendered to John
Copenhaver and Albert Baldwin, of the
Baldwin Detective Agency. He was
brought to Tazewell on Tuesday morn
ing and will have a preliminary trial
before Squire H. G. Peery To-day.
There have been so many conflicting
reports about the transaction that we
refrain from publishing any of the par
ticulars. The friends of the deceased
claim that the shooting was unpro-
voked, but the accused claims that he
was acting in self defense and exhibits
four or more bruises and wounds on his
face and head which he claims were in
ficted with steel knucks worn by
Brown. The trial today will throw
light on these conflicting statements.
1t is a deplorable affair and has

Washington, May 21.-William d..
Stuart, American vice-consul at Batoum,
Russia, reported to have been assassi-
mated last night, was an Englishman
by birth. He was appointed to his
official position May 4, 1904. The post
is a minor one in the American consular
service to which there is no salary at
tached,. the incumbent is paid by fees.
Under the new consular bill passed this
year, a regular consul will be ap-
pointed.
The state department this morning
received dispatch from Ambassador
Won Meyer at St. Petersburg, stating
that he had been informed by the Eng
lish consul at Batoum that Stuart was
murdered. No details were given.
The state department will not for the
present send a message of inquiry, be-
lieving Meyer will send details as soon
as possible. Should it develop that the
Russian government Is in any way re-
sponsible for the crime due representa-
tions will be made by the state depart

By the Amnesty.

st. Petersburg, May 22.-The long
awaited political amnesty will, the
Associated Press learns from gov
ernment source, be proclaimed May
q, the anniversary of the coronation
of Emperor Nicholas IL.
The exact scope of the measure has
not as yet been determined. 1t will,
as anticipated, be limited, but the Con-
stitutional Democratic party is pre-
pared, though grudgingly, to accept
the act of grace, from which terrorists
are excluded, recognizing, though not
publicly, that the government is not
altogether unjustified in refusing to
set at large men who will be as ready
in the future as they have in the past,
to shoot down or blow to pieces hated
representatives of authority.
NO GUARANTEES OF FULFILLMENT.
Their demand for unlimited amnesty
was based on the expectation that with
the institution of full constitutional
era the terrorists, as was promised in
an open letter just before the assas-
sination of Alexander H., would aban-
don operations, but they have been
forced to admit that the crimes of the
last few days give the government no
guarantee that the promise will be
kept.
The administration is daily cutting
down the number of prisoners who
may be affected by the amnesty, re-
leasing convicts by hundreds in the
provinces, while among those releas-
ed in St. Petersburg are twenty-seven
members of the council of workmen's
delegates who drew up the famous
manifesto preaching a araid on the gov
ernment's gold reserve.
