ENGLISH SINGERS
 AT THE DORRIS
Delightful Entertainment Last Night
 By Westninsfer Club.

The Westminster Glee and Concert Party is now the guest of Phoenix, for they are more than an aggregation of professional musicians, being also a gifted company of entertainers. Nev- CT before has Phoenix enjoyed a more novel and altogether pleasing musical entertainment than that of the Glee party at the Doris opera house fast night, and never was there a more de- lghtful afternoon at the Country club than yesterday, when the club held a reception in honor of the talented vis- itors.
 The afternoon was warm and sun shiny and members and guests attend ed in tallyhOs, automobiles. carriag ges. etc, there being as large-perhaps the largest-turnout that ever participant ed in an afternoon function under the auspices of the club. The house com mittee served tea, and the guests kindly responded to requests for mu- sical selections: The entire club sang three numbers, and MT. Dudley Caus- ton, the professional humorist of the party gave two selections that caus- ed much merriment. Their favors were sufficient 10 captivate all who heard them, and from that momen. all
 
 the concert engagement at the Doris.
 The theater. while not crowded, held a good audience, larger than concerl entertainments are wont to secure. and among the many there was no ex- pression of dissatisfaction. On the contrary, the applause was vociferous after each number, and in nearly every instance an encore was demanded and was gracefully forthcoming. Many who heard the concert last night will be there again this evening, for the rep ertoire of the party is extensive and a new program could be furnished nightly for a long engagement. Those w2O were unable to attend last night, as well as the timid who preferred to await the verdict of the first audience before availing themselves of the chance will surely be among those who greet the vocalists tonight. Phoe- nix enjoys a good entertainment-has demonstrated the fact before-and now has her guaranteed opportunity, a packed house being confidently ex- pected.

MEXICAN INDIANS SECRETS

Some two weeks ago a Mexican of the buscon class offered to sell me a considerable quantity of placer gold which. he claimed, he had found with in 100 Kilometres of Tepisco, but he refused to tell where he had got it. said T. G. Gibson, of TepiscO, Sonora. Among this gold was one nugget as large as an ordinary sized IF arble. 4 friend of mine bought this gold for $500, and a day or two later sold it for $565.
 Ut is no uncommon thing to find the buscones of that part Of the coun- try with gold for sale. This nugget'- here he exhibited a piece of smoothly worn wash gold of irregular shape, and about half an inch long by a lit tie over a quarter of an inch wide, with a piece of white quartz running crosswise through it-'I bought from Q buscom some three years ago in Tepisco. He had several other pieces of fine gold ore, but as I was not in terested in mines, I bought this simply for the purpose of making a pin out of it.

UNCONSCIOUS POISONING. How it Ofte- Happens from Coffee.

'I had no idea writes a Duluth man that it was the coffee I had been drinking all my life that was respOn- sible for the headaches which were growing upon me, for the dyspepsia that no medicines would relieve. and for the acute nervousness which un- fitted me not only for work but also for the most ordinary social functions.
 But at last the truth dawned upon me I forthwith bade the harmful be- verage a prompt farewell, ordered in some Postum and began to use it. The apparent within very few days. My headaches grew less frequent, and de- creased in violence, my stomach grew without distress of any kind, my ner- vousness has gone and I am able to enjoy life with my neighbors and sleep soundly o'nights. My physical strength and nerve power have in- creased so much that I can do double the work l used to do, and feel no un- due fatigue afterwards.
 This improvement set in just as soon as the old coffee poison had SC worked out of my system as to allow the food elements in the Postum to get hold to build me up again. I cheer fully testify that it was Postum and Postum alone that did all this. fol when I began to drink it I threw phy- sic to the dogs" Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

etry of the songs. It is the contention of the. director, MT. Branscombe. that the sentiment of a popular air Is not alone in the music, but that the words should be credited with their portion and the renditions be as clear in that respect as any other.
 The only female voice is that of Madame Marie Hoo,on, whose rich contralto voice and perfect enunciation are incomparable. She appeared last night for a solo in both parts of the program, which meant four solos. for of course she was encored.
 MT. Branscombe has a tenor voice of rare sweetness and sang with unusual expression in ais solos, performing With MT. Frederick Bauhof the func- tions of the tenor parts in the chorus work. Both as singer and director he is master Of his profession.
 The four boy sopranos are marvels. Master Gordon Travis, who last night appeared in solo numbers. was encored to the echo. Most children have a sort of a soprano voice, but Master Travis, though a mere child in point of age, has a range and a sweetness of expression that are unexceIled by any boy. Never did a woman sing with less apparent difficulty, absolutely no straining, and but seldom is a female soprano met with who possesses sweeter tones or more perfect con trol in the execution of high notes. Probably not one member of the audi ence last night could have been made to believe that such notes came from a boy had they flolled from some se- cret place beyond the vision. In other numbers the boys all had opportunity for distinguishing themselves in the carrying of soprano parts, and the four together evenly balanced the other three parts carried by their eld- CTS.
 MT. William Llewellyn is possessed of a magnificent bass voice, and in ''Biddy Aroo' he made such an impress sion that an encore brought forth a very comical selection.
 All members of the party sang splendidly in the chOruses and part songs and an anthem. sung by special request, but the only "soloist,' not mentioned above, was MT. Dudley Causton, the humCrist or comedy man. His particular stunt was to make fun of music if possible-but make fun. He gave a number of limitations, char acserizations of quaint and peculiar, but nevertheless frequently met with, people, including a number of juvenile delineations that filled the house with laughter He was repeatedly called back-in fact, clear to the limi- of propriety on the part of the audience.

 "The silver ore which this Indian brought into the town was an oxide almost jet black, running like a great seam through a wide vein of hard lime formation.

The man who made the assay has tried every means in his power to induce the Indian to tell him where the hidden mine is. but the best he could get out of him was that it is in the north, at a considerable dis tance from Tepisco. and that the whole region, which is on the borders of the hot lands, is scanned with veins of sil- yer ore.-MeXican Herald.

DEER TREES A MAN.

Doubtless tiring of being pursued by enthusiastic hunters, a Black Hills deer turned pursuer, and as a result l.. x. Haines, residing near the little town of Hinton, in the northern foot. hills of the Black Hills, had a thrill ing adventure. He had not been hunt ing deer, but was quietly walking up the road to get his mail when he sight ed the animal in the highway before him. The deer was coming toward him. It was some distance down the hill and Haines supposed it would soon sight him and take to flight, as is usually the case.
 Instead of turning, the big buck, when it sighted him, made straight for Haines, and it became a race for life Haines was unarmed, and as he is heavy man the prospects were that he could not outrun the deer. He speed fly came to this conclusion, and reach ing a pile of rocks he took refuge be- hind them.
 But the deer was not to be baffled, and after lodging the apparently mad dened animal for a few minutes, dur ing which it showed no signs of re- lenting, Haines watched his chance and again took to his heels. Heading for a nearby tree, which seemed to b. exactly the right place for the emer- Gency Haines, who was nearly ex> hausted from his strenuous efforts to escape the animal, managed by sheer force of will to scramble up the tree out of reach.
 After about 15 minutes vigil at tI.e foot of the tree the Ceer evldentis wcaried of the game and departed.- St. Paul Dispatch.

A NEW CITY OFFICIAL
 STREET COMMISSIONER
Most of Last Nights Council Session
 Devoted to the Highways.

Those who are now at work on the city streets in the employ of the city will before many more days pass be placed in charge of a city street and alley commissioner, which office was created by the city council at a meet ing held last evening. Under the law as it stands at present this work is un- der the supervision of the city marshal but the councilmen realized the impos, sibility of that official giving the work the attention it required. Accordingly the mayor was instructed to employ a man at a salary of S100 a month to su- pervise the street work and care for the trees in all the city parks.
 The action taken at the last meet ing of the council regarding the water works commission was carried out and F. M. Mognett, II. H. McNeil, P. T.. Hurley, Lincoln Fowler, Jos. Thal- heimer, J. M. Shott and Frank Lyman were appointed members of that com, mission. By the resolution under which they were named they were instructed to qualify by January 26 by each filing a bond in the sum of 5000.
 All of the councilmen appeared to have some complaint regarding the street work and no matter what was brought up the remarks of the differ. ent members of the city making body would invariably work back to the streets and the new improvements being made. Councilman Greene want. ed to know whose idea it was to blow up the whole street. He thought twen- ty feet of a driveway was all that was necessary and the dust that would be noticeable next summer would be ac- cordingly less. Councilman Moss ad 70 TnIn tn loa hn east and west streets and declared most of the travel over the city high. ways was on such streets. Council man Lauver had only one remark to make possibly because he is the chair man of the street and alley committee, but Councilman Kersting found many things wrong. The city laborers spent too much time following out a red tape arrangement. They were too many hours employed in quitting work and in getting started. He also wanted a job of grading finished when it was started and from his remarks it is thought he had in mind the gutterA left in the road at street intersections. He also wanted a little information re- garding the new grade established In Bennett addition and the recorder was requested to have the city engineer present at the next meeting.
 Finally the circus license question was brought up and the city attorney was instructed to draft the necessary papers to repeal the ordinance passed several weeks ago previous to the ap- pearance of the Southern Carnival company in the city. The new ordi- nance will fix the license at so much for each day the circus is in the city and not based on the number of per- formances given. This is to protect the city against a possible eva sion of the law. Heretofore the tax was for each performance but the circuses of past years have claimed that they gave but one performance, a continuous one, and paid accordingly. The circus tax discussion brought up several other matters and it is possible the whole license ordinance will be revised and

About eight months ago a buscon brought into Tepisco a mule load or silver ore which he sold for $2G0 to one Of the local ore buyers. All efforts to induce him to reveal the place where he obtained the ore proved of no avail. When he found he was watched by spies of mining men he went back to work upon a little corn ranch that he had in the neighbOrhood and there he stayed until those watch ing him got tired. About two months ago he suddenly disappeared, and had not again been seen there at the time of my departure, two weeks ago. It is my opinion that he is again on the hunt for the mine from which he got the ore. Or, if he knows where it is, he is taking ore out of it on the quiet, for he sold out all his corn and real ized on his other crops at a sacrifice before he left.
 Ut may be that he is -aking out fe- nouncement papers. But this I doubt as an Indian in that country rarely

more upon themselves, the genera

bow to the world of society, and
even more the younger girls who
are still going to school, is being

And while things have not yet

1t is part of the new training.
But the careful guardianship
which is exercised over our young
girls nowadays does not cease when
her school days are over and she
is presented to society" said a wo-
man who has been long prominent
in social circles here, when asked
about the changes that have come
to pass in the care of girls. Il do
not mean to say that the rules
which I tell YOU are enforced in all
families in Washington. nor in all
other cities. but they are becoming
more and more the recognized
rules Of conventional society. A
young society girl may have young
men friends and she may enjoy ali

young people of America. But she

When she goes motoring, the chauf-

less she is considered qualified TO

girl who is under her charge. It
would seem as though mother
would insist that the chaperon who
accompanied their daughters should
be older women. in whose judg,
ment they could place implicit con-

this side of the case. But as far
