WEEK s
In SOCIETY,"
I~N~~-N~As-~9N~-N-E

Events crowd each other in the fly
ing spring days, and from a glance at
society's prospective calendar, there
appears to be no danger OF ennui until
AFTER commencement, at least. The
principal function of the week Just past
was the big charity ball, which was a
notable success, socially, financially
and all the other "lys.' Maennerchor
hall was most effectively decorated for
the party, evergreen being beautifully
combined with the red and white which
the club has selected for its colors. The
programs We're cunning little hearts
in red and white-hearts being the
favorite trump of the club. The grand
march was led by Mr.. and Mrs. Fred A.
Miller, Hon. and Mrs. ]. S. Atherly,
Judge and Mrs. M. N. Grant and Mr..
and Mrs. G. A. Campbell being next in
line. Mrs. Miller, the president of the
club, had donned a stunning red gown
for the occasion, and Mrs. Atherly,
first vice president, appeared in a dain-
ty toilette of white, the club colors be-
ing thus p~rettily and appropriately
honored. Mrs. Grant, treasurer, wore
a handsome costume of black silk, and
Mrs. Campbell, the clubs energetic sec
rotary and the chairman of the COM
mittee of arrangements for the ball,
appeared in an deliberately embroider-
ed dancing gown of white. Many eff
fective toilettes were worn by other
ladies present, and the scene was a bril-
liant one. Several out of town guests
were in attendance, among whom were
Mr.. and Mrs. George Lickert of Chey-
enne, Mrs. John Arthur Kemp of Oma-
ha and Miss Geraldine Bare of North
Platte. The dancing program contain
ed 10 numbers and several extras were
introduced, some of the special dances
being very amusing and enjoyable.
Mrs. Hodgeman and Mrs. S. H. Camp
bell dispensed punch from a cosy cor
ner the funds thus secured adding
materially to the net proceeds of the
ball. The stage was pleasantly arrang-
ed for the serving of a delicious lunch
con, this important feature being sue
cessfully attended to by Mrs. Dayton,
Mrs. OFT, Mrs. Weightman and Mrs.
Atherly, with Mrs. Kidd as cashier.
The mount realized for the charity
fund by the ball will be announced at
the special meeting of the Whist club,
which will be held June 18th.

Mrs. Alfred c.. Hogbin entertained
forty ladies Thursday afternoon at q
luncheon of faultless appointments, the
function being one of the most import
ant and delightful of the season. Green
and white were the appropriate tints
chosen Tor this ~springtime gathering,
and profusely utilized, both in potted
and cut work effects. Masses of white
carnations were also in evidence, and
the fragrance of American Beauty
roses perfumed the air. The pretty
walters, Misses Laura Let's, Grace Da-
Wis, Mary McClelland, Mary Bailey and
Helen Symons, wore dainty gowns of
either green or white, and little Miss
Shirley Fraee as usher, was a fairy
in white. The place cards effectively
reproduced the chosen colors also, and
the beauty of the setting was univer-
sally admired. Elegant toilettes were
donned by the guests in honor of the
occasion, many of the exquisite gowns
being worn for the first time. The out
of town guests were Mrs. Wilkie Col
Inns of Douglas, and Miss Bare of North
Platte, Neb. The delicious menu was
served in many courses, and the repast
was ~leisurely discussed and enjoyed,
delightful, also, being the gay CONVEX
sation as the participants progressed,
meeting new friends at every change.
An amusing event after luncheon was
a musical contest, Mrs. DeForest rem
dering ten popular selections on the pt-
ano and the ladies writing the names
of the songs played on the backs OF
their place cards. Mirth prevailed the
music, for it is one thing TO be thor
oughly conversant with a tune, and
quite another to remember its proper
name, or, whisper it low, to be able to
spell it, For instance "Juanita," which
was the first selection, would have GER
tainly been appalled, at the great diver
sity of opinion in regard to the ar,
~rangement of those sever letters, and
great number went down before the
sixth song which they recognized easily
as "Oh, Where, oh, Where is My Lit
tie Dog Gone,'' but which an arbitrary
awarding committee declared to be
"Lauterbach." The tenth selection
was Star Spangled Banner" and, led
by Mrs. Ivtnson, the company rose and
with waving handkerchiefs, sang the
patriotic lines, the scene being a stir
ring and beautiful finale for a most en-.
joyable afternoon. Nearly a dozen OF

A new law passed by congress will have far-reaching effect in Arizona It practically nullifies what is known as the "fellow servant" clause of the Arizona law, which provides that an employe of common carrier cannot recover for injuries or death caused by the negligence of fellow servant. It will also knock out that statute limiting the liability for life in Arizona to $5, 900. Hereafter it is possible that all suits against common carriers for damages will be brought in the United States courts.

A ONE SIDED ARGUMENT

Arizona has so completely, during the past three years, threshed and re- threshed the joint statehood straw, that there is little or nothing left to argue about, and still it seems that until the 9th of next November the argument will have to be kept up. At that time Arlzona's free, untrammeled patriotic citizens will put the national administration unholy, un-American scheme so fast asleep that it will be a shameless crew indeed that will at tempt to resuscitate it.
 During the past three years it has not only been impossible to find joint statehood advocate who was able to ad- vance good and sufficient reason for the annexation of Arizona to Bull Andrews and his tribe of political and commercial bandits, but it has been al most an impossibility to find an Arizon- ian of standing who would attempt to advance an argument in favor of that outrage. On the other hand every public body in the territory, town, county or territorial, together with the political conventions, big and little, of all parties, have de clared unequivocally that in pref erence to being linked in unholy and disastrous wedlock with New Mexico the people would prefer ter ritorial form of government forever.
 Now the national administration has popped it's whip. and few prominent politicians" who lack the courage to stand by the convictions they have so often and so loudly expressed, are ven turing the advancement of alleged benefits to be derived by accepting New Mexican rule thinking, mean time. of the advantages they hope to personally receive from the generous hand of Boss Bull"
 Really, it must be conceded by any citizen of stamina and moral courage that the "quitter" who Hops in the discreditable manner displayed by these cheap politicians is deserving of little attention, especially since it is certain that their utterances will be received with small respect by the peo- pie who have so oft listened to their protestations of loyalty to Arizona, and their declarations that with their last breath they would protest against this territory's annexation to an alien land.

Treasury department officials are per plexed by the prospect of shortage in silver dollars and subsidiary coinage, because of the failure of congress to enact remedial legislation. There is no bullion in the treasury out of which to make subsidiary coin, the supply purchased under the act of July IA, 1900, having been exhausted more than year ago, and no provision exists for recoining silver dollars which by nat ural wear, have become unfit for circu- lation. The situation may become more serious when the crop moving season begins.

MARK SMITH SHARES
 IN BIG MINE SALE

One of the largest mining deals ever negotiated from Tucson was closed this week in the sale of the Tucson and Congresso copper mine to an English syndicate. The property was sold on a report made by Frederick Swinney and the deal was negotiated and closed by w. H. Daily of this city. Ten per cent of the two hundred and fifty thousand dollars paid for the mine was put up to bind the purchase, and one hundred thousand dollars is now on deposit in the bank at Hermosilo for the devel- opment of the mine. The development will be in charge of MT. Swinney. Judge Cowan and Mark Smith were the principal former owners. Tucson Post

NOT ENCOURAGING TO MIR. TAFT

The moral effect of Secretary Taft Us keynote" speech in North Carolina may have been considerable, but it's political effect was not immediately en- couraging. The next day, after he had denounced the rotten organization of the party in that state, and told the republicans that they could not expect to win, and would not deserve to do so, unless they changed their leaders, the state convention met in the city where he spoke and reelected the old machine chairman of the state committee after a factional fight that threatened to come to "blows or pistols" The party organization remains in the hands of men described by the secretary as "little coterie of politicians who devote themselves solely to the election of delegates to national conventions, and whose whole object is the securing of federal patronage. If the voters of North Carolina act upon Secretary Taft's admonition as the voters of Ohio did last year when they trampled on Boss Cox and defeated Gov. Herrick, the democratic majority in the old "tar state" will be larger than ever.
 As if this were not enough discord from the keynote, Senator Dick of Ohio, after conference with the off cers of the republican state committee, declared that the state convention to be held next month twill not indorse Secretary Taft or any other candidate for president. His explanation is that the fact is well established that different states have candidates for the presidency, but none of the state con- yentions thus far held have made an indorsement of their favorite sons. l." Ohio is not usually so modest. When Mckinley was candidate it did not wait for other states to "open the ball"

Mrs. Will Stewart of Cananea, visit ing in Fl Paso, received from her hus- band letter telling of the precaution- ary measures taken by Col. w. c. Greene to protect his great camp in the event of further trouble.
 He states in this letter to his wife that Colonel. Greene has just returned from Chicago and New York. bringing with him two rapid fire guns and sev- eral searchlights. The searchlights will be placed about the town to cover it as thoroughly as possible, and placed in charge of the night watchman, and the two machine guns will be mounted on the mesa, commanding the Ronquillo or lower portion of the town.
 MT. Stewart continues to the effect that Mexican miners last week at tempted to set fire to one of the com pany buildings in Cananea, and were apprehended in the act by the police, and all are now in jail at Cananea.
 Strong influence is being brought to bear, the letter continues, to secure the appointment of Col. Emilio Roster litzsky of the rurales as commandant of the garrison of troops that are to be stationed at Cananea under the recent order from 1.-the Mexican war depart ment. The Americans in Cananea and throughout Sonora have the supremest confidence in Col. Kosterlitzsky, and his recent work in so quickly quelling the riots after his arrival has added to this confidence. The letter states that those in authority feel confident of their efforts to secure the detail of Col. Kos terlitzsky as commandant of the 1000 Mexican troops that are to be stationed there.

The total raise in taxable values of the railroads of Arizona by the terri torial board of equalization amounts to S2, 55l. .9S9 l3. which is less than the raise on the mining companies of Gra- ham county. It seems to be the inten- tion of the board to see that the mining companies stand more than their pro portion of the increase in taxes. - Clifton Copper Era.

The situation ammounts to a de-

he might just as we'll withdraw

most impossible to believe in the
light of a magnificent life time

In short, the personal issue be-

certain to mean either Scott or
