 New York.

Rev. L. H. Halsey, in a letter from Clyde, N. Y, to The Republican, says:
 "It is pleasure to note that Phoe- nix again is interesting herself in the organization of a Young Mems Chris tian association. With such men at the helm as General Sampson, Captain All1ire, Dr. Hudson. and J. M. Creigh- ton, sucn an organization is sure to succeed. It will be of inestimable benefit to Phoenix. Homesick boys will be reminded of home.
 At recent banquet of the Rochester Chamber of Commerce q prominent feature was the singing of popular songs, copies of which accompanied the menu cards.
 A bear was killed in Steuben county, N. Y, recently which weighed S44 pounds.
 In Rochester, N Y, the mail traffic just before Christmas was tremendous. Ordinarily one contractor handled a few sacks a day; it so increased that he got out his largest truck wagon with a capacity of four tons, and this was loaded down with packages from the post office.
 The Mystic Shriners of Rochester on Christmas presented $50 to each of the organizations the Salvation Army, Door Of Hope, and Rescue Mis- sion.
 About 100 members of the Monroe Commandery of Knights Templar (Rochester) marched to the orphan asylum on Christmas day, gave an ex- hibitioh drill, and then, through a committee, distributed to the children gifts, with which several tables were piled full Each child mad been asked

other large crowd heard MT. Cronen- berger at the Church of Christ last evening in the second of series Of evangelistic meetings being held at the church. The speaker during the entire address used arguments plain and to the point interspersed with good wholesome humor. This evening he has announced his topic to be Faith, What it is and How to Get It. It is of interest to know that the ser : mons preached by MT. Cronenberger link together like a chain and those who are interested should hear all of the sermons. The music at the meet ings is especially fine. The service each evening begins at 80 o'clock
 ELkS' LADIES' SOCIAL-On Thursday evening of this week the To- cal lodge of Elks win hold their first ladies' social at the lodge hall. In past years it has been the custom to give a large bah and musicale. The social on Thursday evening will be more informal and for Elks and their ladies' only. Cards and dancing will serve to while the hours away and light refreshments will be served. As this is the first time the ladies' are to he admitted to the lodge, though only in social session, great interest is be- ing manifested, and it is expected that every Elk in Phoenix will be present. No cards have been issued and it is especially desired by the committee in charge that every visiting Elk shall at tend. They will be sure to receive a royal welcome and will have an op- pOrtunity to meet and mingle with the Phoenix herd. It is the expectation of the lodge to hold ladies' socials al least once in two months hereafter, and it is expected to be a feature of the or der, which enjoys reputation for so- ciability.
 ARE BOTH GooD-As many Phoe- nix readers know, Ernest Lamsoa. brother of F. M. Lamson, of this city, and himself a property owner here, is fast achieving fame before the foot lights. Last year ne was out with a company of his own with a bill of his own creation and was very successful, but this year ae put the play into oth- CT hands and resumed his place as a leading member of another company, presenting a comedy bill known as 'The Heir to the Hoorah." He is earn ing favorable notices wherever he goes. Wilfred Lucas, who also spent a summer engagement in Phoenix, is with the same company. In a criticism of their performance in Columbus. Ohio, the Citizen, of that city, says: Columbus mas never seen a better characterization of the western miner Gas we seni-westerners picture him, at leasD than that furnished by Ernest Lamson. Wilfred Lucas, in the same sort of role, is almost as good. It is apparent that MT. Lamson during his western visits does not devote himself entirely to killing time, even if it is the vacation season. But like other busy men he finds pleasure and rec reation in observing those things that will perfect his art or business inter- ests One of his studies seemss to have been the character of wetern miner and from press comments he has prof. ited much thereby, satisfying every audience with his delineation"
