cept them. IL is foolnardy for any singing master to predict a future. First there must be the strength for maintaining a great voice. a desire to learn, q fair education to assist one in attaining that knowledge and then equal to any of these natural gift for singing. All of these has MT. Cochems. and it was these characteristics of the Phoenix singer that led MT. Russell to become interested in him.
 It is one of their great surprises to both Miss Nielsen and MT. Russell to find in a town the size of this city an institution like the Arizona School of Music with the competent corps of in structors it has. To the Arizona School of Music Miss NeilSen gave the credit for preparing over half of her Phoenix audience with an ability to appreciate her singing and the efforts of her company. Especially did MT. Russell speak of the system of iustruc- tiOn MT. Cochems was using and said it was a surprise to him to find it taught in the southwest but it was positively and absolutely :ho only course of instruction to follow to be- come a great singer.
 Last evening Miss Nielsen, MT. Rus sell and their company of artists left for Tucson, Miss Nielsen expressed many regrets of having to leave this delightful climate which she claimed, as did also MT. Russell, was the grand est found in any part of the world. It is their present plan to visit here each winter and it is Miss Nielsen's hope that her stay in Phoenix on the oc- casion of her next visit will be of longer duration than this one has been.

BISSELL THOMAS INSANE-It is stated by the Portland Oregoniau that Bissel Thomas, a former attorney Of this city has been committed to the in sane asylum of Oregon. This is nor the first time Thamas has been in sane. Soon after the outbreak of the Spanish American war he went to the Philippines and while there he lost his mind, 1t is said by drinking native be- verages to which he was not accustom- ed. He had had pretty extensive ex- perience with civilized intoxicants and was supposed to be proof.

BEAUTY THAT LASTS.

Where is the woman who has not the praiseworthy desire to enhance her personal charms and preserve as long as possible her delightful power of en- cna1tment, which lasts as long as her beauty? The Oriental Cream. prepar- ed by Dr. T. Felix Gouraud of New York City. is a harmless preparation for preserving the delicacy of the com plexion and removing blemishes. It is the favor-te toilet article of the lead ing professional artists who owe so much of their popularity to their per sOnal charms. Scarcely a star dressing room in the land Is without Gouraud's Oriental Cream, which is the most wholesome and perfect beautifie- known. Druggists will supply you

ALHAnBRA NOTES
A Revival of Agricultural Interest
 Along the Avenue.

Alhambra, Feb. 5.-(SpeciaI Corre- sopndence of The Republican.)- -Satis- faction is felt by all as a result of water being turned into the Appropri- ators' canal yesterday and the ditches which for weeks have been dry are now occupied in carrying small heads of water being used principally as stock water.
 It is expected by tomorrow to com mence a system of running water so that all may soon have an irrigating head to wet up the alfalfa and grain lands which will mean much to ranch interests for without irrigating water agriculture soon receives a drawback in this section
 This same necessity for water is felt by lands under the Arizona canal but it Is expected that sufficient water will be obtained to make crop if the river does not go on rampage soon.
 MT. H. Renaud has had carpenters at work the past few days putting in fumes and gates in this vicinity pre- paratory to handling the water supply.
 MT W. l.. McMichael has recently purchased the sme!ter site from the Lime Creek Copper company which adds four more acres to his nursery farm.
 The smeltcr which has stood idle for so long here will it is said be remov- ed to the companys properties at Cave Creek
 John Cook, a former AIhambraite is again in our midst being engaged il hauling brick from the plant of the Al. hambra Brick company.
 Prof. Clarlz's new residence at tn. experiment station farm is nearly com pleted and win be an up to date build ing with modern conveniences.

FUGITIVE AFRICAN SLAVES.

Women cs well as men escape from time to time and join these fine vfndi- cators of freedom in the woods. but. chiefly owing to the deadly climate aLd the extreme hardship of their life. -he people do not increase in numbers. About thousand was the highest fig lre l heard given for them; about two hundred the lowest The number most generally quoted was six hundred: but.
 n fact, it is quite impossible to count them at all, for they are always chang
 ing their camps and are rarely seen: The cotton cloths in which they escape go to pieces very soon, and they all live in entire nakedness.
 For the most part they live wan dering and hard, but I hope not en- tirely unhappy existence in the dense forest around the base of that precipi- tous mountain of which l spoke. Every HOW and again the Portuguese organize nan-hunts to reca a3ture or kill them off. Forming a kind of a cordon, they sweep over parts os the Island. tying up or shooting all they may find But the Portuguese are so cowardly and in capable in their undertakings that they are no match for alert natives filled with the recl5Iessness of despair and the massacre has never vet been com piete.
