THE BANQUET.
Quite a Number Of Young People
Spent a Delightful Evening
at the Columbia Hotel.
YOUNG MEN ENTERTAIN YOUNG LADIES.

The Columbia Hotel was enlivened
last Thursday evening by the beauty
and chivalry of the city, sixteen young
ladies being the guests of that number
of their gentlemanly friends. The
diningroom was draped in green and old
gold colors, and the parlors brilliantly
Illuminated.
At 9 o'clock sixteen couples arrived
and in few minutes thereafter were
urshed into the spacious dinning-hall
where they were served with delightful
refreshments, consisting of five courses.
Everything was most temptingly pre-
pared and served in a becoming man
ner. Too much credit could not be CIV
en- Mrs. Dudgeon and her assistants for
the manner in which the viands were
prepared and the courteous treatment
of the guests. Mr.. Dudgeon was also
busy, seeing that every one present
received the attention due upon such
occasions. A unique feature of the en-
tertainment was the souvenirs painted
by Miss Francis11Jones and placed at
each plate. They consisted of cats,
witches, jack-o'lanterns, etc.
Taking it altogether it was one of
the incest and most enjoyable affairs
pulled off in Columbia for many sea-
sons. The following were present:

a Te,ltale Nail.


 Dr. John Dome. the famous English divine and poet. Wiio isVtsi in tine reign of James l.. was veritabIe Sherlock Holmes in bent of mind. He was walking in the churchyard while q grave was being dug when the sexton cast up mOldcring skull. The doctor idly took it up. and, in handling it. found a headless nail driven into it. This he managed to take out and con ceal in his handkerchief It was evi- dent to him that murder had been done. He questioned the sexton and learned that the skull was probably that of q certain man who was the proprietor Of 2 brandy shop and was n drunkarl, be- ing found dead in bed one morning after a night In which he had drunk two quarts of brandy.
 Had he a wife?' asked the doctor. ''Yes."
 What character does she bear?'
 "She bore a very good character, only the neighbors gOssiped because she married the day after her husbands funeral She still lives here"
 The doctor soon called on the woman. He asked for and received the particu- lars of the death of her first husband. Suddenly opening his handkerchief, he showed her the telltale nail, asking in q loud voice:
 Madam, do you know this nail?" The woman was so surprised that she confessed and was tried and exc cufed

 Since she left here early in the month of April of this year nothing has been heard of Mrs NVimberiy, for mer owner of the Phoenix house on Twelfth street. by her husband. Alex ander Wright. Mr. Wright and Mrs. Wimber1y were married something like two years ago. but afterwards she continued 10 go under the name of Wimberly here.
 Mir Wright arrived in Douglas sey- eral days ago for the purpose of find ing out. if possible, the whereabouts Of his wife. Early in Aprn she wrote him letter 10 Globe stating that she was getting ready to leave Douglas for Phoenix. That is the last he has heard directly from her He learned. however, that at Benson, after leaving Douglas. she told a friend there that she was going to Phoenix, but that to another party she declared her inten- ton of going to San Diego, California
 Before leaving Douglas she disposed of her property here and it is not likely that she had any intention of returning here when she went away.
 Mrs. Wimberly became prominent here through several lawsuits.

Dickens. with something in his dis position peculiarly sympathetic toward children, was q bitter foe of any one relative, teacher or official guardian who tyrannized over them. X writer in the New York Post points out that he seems to take special delight in ex- posing the misdeeLs of mercenary and cold hearted pedagogues. When ones notice.' says the Post, "is first directed to the attention the novelist gave to schools and their methods. it is inter esting to try to recall the number men toned. Six come to mind instantly Dotheboys Hall. Dr. Blimbers, David Copperfield's two schools-Dr. Strong's and Mir. Creakle's = the Gradgrind school and Bradley Headstone's In Our Mutual Friend But even the most devoted reader of Dickens Is amazed upon special investigation to discover the sum total of twenty eight There is not phase of education that he does not touch upon, and wrong methods are revealed and commented upon in tones so caustic and with req son so unerring that better conditions were the natural result"

Wooden Anchors,

The Basques, strange race inter mediate between French and Span iards, have for all time been great fish ermen, and some of their craft and seagoing gear are totally different from any other known types. Perhaps the most remarkable relic of bygone civilizations Is the primitive wooden anchor still in use among them and to be seen in the fishing settlements round Biarritz. Guethary or St. Jean de Luz. These wooden anchors are in all prob ability of the identical type In use among the Phoenicians twenty centu- ries ago.

The two articles cut out can wait for without much inconven- fence. As for the others. since have to buy them in season and pay the regular price. will buy them at once and have at least month and halfs extra use of them.

VENEZUELA.

Beauty of the Country and the I'm
 P7ession It Leaves.
 The beauty of the country is tine first and the most lasting impression. To catch glimpses at every turn in the valleys of cloudy peaks. or when on the mountain side to see through the limpid air valley after valley between the protecting hills. 10 breathe this pure air. to know that summer is al, most perpetua-he is only half a man who does not for moment forget the needs of civilization in the intoxication of primitive nature The loveliness of Venezuela is something different from that of the Andean ranges farther west and south. It Is more tropical. and the mountains do not rise to the height in which the senses are stilled by gran denr. nor Is there found so near the equator that ruggedness or gloom of solemnity which is one feature of the Rockies. It is beauty of more human type. which can be enjoyed most when we know that man has his abode there The Andes. the Alps or the Rockies are bold and austere. They need no life. Life is not meant for them. But such contrasts and changes as are con stantly presented to the eye in these softened landscapes are more exquisite when man is pottering about on the surface trying to imagine that he is of some real importance on the earth Reader Magazine.

 One statement of the case is that Dyson's horse was run into by the car zt Ninth and G. He was behind a water wagon and three street cars came along close together. Seeing one pass and not expecting any more he drove in behind tbe first car and the oncomIng car went into the horse. This statement of the case contains the additional assertion that Dyson heard no bell from the second car.
 Inferentially, one concludes from the statement of Manager o'Donovan, of the street car line who made an in Restigation of the incident, that Dy- sons horse ran into the street car.

PLANS 0h BIG SCALE R0R INDIAN SCHOOLS
R, M. Craig'S Ambitious Pro- ject for New Institution
 at Tucson

| DOUGLAS. June 14-(Special.)- K. M Craig, superintendent of build
 ings for the Presbyterian board of home missions who was in Douglas i last Sunday, arrived in Tucson yester- | day and his coming develops the fact
 that the new Indian school, to be built
 one mile south of the orphanage, is to
 be an institution that win soon have national prominence. Manual training will be taken up on an extensive scale, farms will be laid out and the plans for the buildings include two large two-story brick dormitofies and a ithree-story stone manual training building besides many wooden stFuc- lures. The mission win be the biggest thing of it's kind fn North America sn9 a credit and advertisement to Tucson.
 or his visit to Tucson the Citizen says: R. NJ Craig, superintendent of buildings for the Presbyterian board of home missions arrived in the city todey and is the guest of SupeTintend, ent Brown of the Indian mission school here. MT. Craig comes to perfect the rlaus of the board to erect a new mis- sion at this place. For several years the buildings of the mission have been inadequate to meet the needs of the school and have not been favorabiy located for training in practical agri- culture and out-of-door work for which the Indian is by nature adapted It has been necessary to go several miles iutn the country in order 10 reach the fields for work and this has been Q great waste of time and energy.
 The new plan is to erect on the form of the Indian school. about one mile south of the orphanage a num- ber of new buildings and to have the various departments of the school united on that one plat of ground
 The plans for the new buildings em- brace the construction of two stone and brick d0rmitories 4Ox1OO feet, each two stories in height and a large manual training building three stories 1 in height dimensions S0x90 feet. The latter building to be of stone. There will also be numerous sheds and work. shops constructed from the material gained by tearing down the old build
 inss in town. About s60. GOO will be spent on the new buildings and much Of the labor will be supplied by the Indian boys.
 The rise in property values in Tue son and the recent sale of the nis- sion's holdings at profit Of oyer sSO.-
 900 will enable the mission here to
 bear much of the expense of the i'm. provements. The rnission will be the largest in the United States supported
 by any denomination and will be A
 credit to Tucson and to Arizona. Over
 200 Indians are heinz trained aunuaII,-
 for better citizen ship and the good
 work done in the past promises to be
 better under the new conditions. An
 effort will be made to have the build
 ings ready for occupancy by October
 15.
