A Novel Dinner.

At a cookery exhibit lately held In
Paris an interesting feature was the
reproduction OF q dinner offered to
Napoleon l., exactly 100 years before
by Prince TalIeyrend. bis famous
Foreign Minister. It was an elabor-
ate repast for twenty-si1 persons,
and the original menu Of 1906 pre-
pared BY Talleyrand's famous cook,
Careme, was faithfully followed.

BILE upon which the dishes we're pre-
pared, were actually the same as
used at Talleyrand's house q CEN

THE Bisbee Review gives Editor Cleaveland the following strong en- dorsement for the presidency of the council: "Mr. Cleaveland is the edi- tor of the Leader, and we consider,him one of the ablest members of the coun- cil. He was for many years superin- tendent of the Morenci Improvement company and is thorough business man. This paper would be glad to see MT. Cleaveland honored by an election to the position of president of the council, and believe he would acquit himself we'll as such. How ever, we would not be surprised to see Hon. James Doran, of Yavapai county, aspiring to become president of the council. He was president of the last territorial council in this territory. The fact, however, that MT. Cleaveland was elected in the old banner democratic county of Graham will certainly entitle him to distin- guished consideration"

The Hastings:TerreII Wedding.

On Thursday evening, November ?, beautiful wedding was solemn. ized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J : A. Terrell, when their daughter, Viola, became the wife of MT. Earl Hastings, of Morenci.
 The home was artisticalfy decorated in smilax, pepperberFfes and chry-- santhemums. Strands of smilax formed a canopy and from the center hung a bell of chrysanthemums,u under which the youthful couple stood to exchange their VOWS. Only a few witnessed the impressive ceremony.
 At o'clock Mrs. R.,L. Henderson, accompanied by the Clifton orches- tra, sang "Oh, Promise Me" Her sympathetic rendition of this favor ite song made it more impressive. Immediately following this the Orchestra began the strains of the Wedding March from Lohengrin. The wedding party entered, preceded by the Key. MT. Love. First came the groom with his brother, V. P. Hastings, as best man. Then the ushers, Messrs. J. F. Cleaveland and Otto Lotichins. Following, Misses Mary and Maude Terrell, sisters of the bride, charmingly gowned in pink and carrying bouquets of white car nations. Then entered the matron of honor, Mrs. Arthur Newell, also a sister of the bride, wearing white and pink null over white silk and carrying pink carnations. Last came the radiant bride on the arm of her father. She looked charming in a dainty princess gown of white chiffon over silk, with a filmy bridal veil and carrying shower bouquet. Through out the ceremony the Orchestra played softly and impressively Morrison's Meditation" Congratu- lations followed. In the receiving line were MT. and Mrs. J. A. Terrell, MT. and Mrs. Earl Hastings, MT. and Mrs. V. P. Hastings, ST, Mrs. Yorke, Mir. and Mrs. George Yorke. They were assisted in receiving by Mes danes Foote, Henderson and Newell.
 Mrs. Keister presided over the re- freshment table.
 The guests were served by Misses Mary and Maude Terrell, Etta Mar tin and Ettie Young.
 During the evening many friends of the bride and groom called to wish them much happiness in their future life.
 < The popular young couple received many beautiful gifts.
 Amid showers of rice and old shoes they left for their future home in Morenci.
 MT. Hastings is a popular business man of Morenci with many friends in Clifton. While Miss Terrell has en- 'deared herself to the people in both towns by her lovable and vlvacious manner.

DUNCAN IS AMBITIOUS.
Wants to Become County Seat of the
 ;y New County.


 EDITOR ERA:-If the county is to be divided, could not both Clifton and Morenci afford to be magnani- nous, and allow the county seat to go elsewhere? Surely each of these towns, have glory enough, in the magnificent records they are making as copper producers.
 It would be difficult to decide be- tween the two3 towns for a county seat. Neither would want the other to have it, under these conditions, it would seem an easy matter to let a third place have it.
 The Gila river would be the most accessible for all parties. Here plenty of room could be had for the court house, and sufficient ground to add to its beauty by ornamental planting. A creditable court house would call for the expenditure of not less than forty thousand dollars, and it may be expedient to expend more than that rather than get into the same difficulty that Gila county is now in, who spent thirty thousand dollars for a jcotirt house sixteen years ago, and is now expending twice that sini for a more com modious house, sufficiently large to transact it's business in. zs -.
 I will give. steti acres for a court house site, e,-within two and one-half miles of Dur cap:safe from floods, and yet under a ditch, where water could be obtained to not only enhance the beauty of the house and grounds, but also enable the county to keep a per manent exhibition of it's agricultural and hortiCultnrakreso which it could do without additional expense. It would probably however, be wiser to have it at an established town, and Duncan seems to be the natural place for it. | can guarantee the donation of five, acres for a court house site,. within 300 yards of the Duncan railroad station, and as much more land can be had at cost of less than 5000, all under one of the oldest ditches on the river. In the discussion of the proposed change, I merely present the points here given for consideration.
 Yours respectfully,
 J. l.. T. WATERS.

 He is a. brakeman who runs on the Lordshurg local. On his run several days ago he sustained a fall from the top?of a car. He landed on his head and shoulders and then rolled down an embankment into a small arroyo which was. dry.
 Dazed and but half conscious, MT. Crowder lay. grooming in his intense sufferings for four hours.
 It,was late in the afternoon when he sustained his fall. He was the rear brakeman and as the other members of the crew were on the front end of the train he was not missed until the train reached Ben son. .5r-
 It was the little, yellow cur-a hanger-on at the railroad camp a short distance away-that discovered the badly injured brakeman. After darkness had set in the mongrel be- gan to howl mournfully and to make repeated trips between the camp and where the injured man lay. Finally several men followed the dog and found the injured man. He was brought to Tucson on a special Citizen.

Edna Marettd, Only Woman Who Can Turn a SOmersauIt on the Bare
 Back of Running Horse.

It is claimed for charming young
 Edna Maretta, the flashing young
 horsewoman with Norris So Rowe's
 circus that she is the only woman in the entire world who can turn true complete back somersault on the
 bareback of a swiftly running horse. There is but one other woman in the circus arena who even attemps to ac- com plish this most difficult and dan gerous of all feats, but this per former has never succeeded in ac- complaining the true somersault. She gets half oyer and falls to her knees which makes it look like con- plete somersault, but daring Edna Maretta stands squarely upon her dainty feet and with a leap high in the air turns completely over and lands standing straight upon her firmly planted feet and all this while the horse is galloping around the arena. Miss Edna met with many painful accidents before she per fected the tr1ck. Once the horse swerved suddenly, frightened evil dently by the crowd. Miss Maretta was in the air when she came down and no horse was thereto receive her body, she came to the ground with a slCkening thud, however she soon recovered and was riding again with no thought of future dan ger. Together with a notable array of riding talent. Miss Maretta will appear here with the Greater Norris & Rowe Circus when the shows exhibit at Clifton Saturday, December 1st.

MANY newspapers throughout the territory are advocating law to pro- hibit gambling. This, in all likeli- hood, is a waste of time, for the Lirtlefeld bill now pending in con- gress will undoubtedly pass at the next session. What Arizona es- pecially needs is a new liquor license law that would shut out many of the places where drinks are now sold. The license should be put at a fairly good figure, and made payable in ad- vance for year. Such a law would bring in greatly increased revenue and at the same time close up many joints where crime is bad. A reason ably high license would be protec- tion to the men who are legitimately in the liquor business, and conducting orderly houses.

 SAMUEL GoMPERS was reelected president of the American Fedora tion of La bor. He is a cigar maker by trade and a native of England, and this is his fifty-fifth year as presi- dent of the federation. Second in importance to the election was the declaration of the proposed princi- pies drawn up for the federation by the resolutions committee. These were endorsed after two resolutions in regard to involuntary servitude and the initiative and referendum had been incorporated. The declara- tion of principles include the aboli tion of all forms of involuntary servitude except for punishment of crime and an unrelenting protest the abuse of the injunction.
