It is gener- ally supposed that the race for the really lies DtlMttn lltSt lOuf top liners and Maggie Doyle, who is not far behind them. But there are several contestants here and several on the southside that are doing fine work and who have signified their intentions of going to the top before the close of next weeks race.

 Typewriting and Shorthand.
 Most people think that it is not worth while to learn shorthand and typewrlting unless it is intended to become a stenographer. Typewriters are coming into general use and if a person learns to use one right, he will soon be able to save a great deal of time by its use and shorthand l is not the bugbear it was once. The l Mckee system, which is one of the systems taught at the Phoenix Acad- emy and Business College, may be l learned in less than three months. A great amount of time could be saved l if people could write down every thing in shorthand. No matter what vocation man follows, whether it be that of physician, lawyer, teacher, clerk or merchant, he will always find use for a knowledge of book

This decision of the court is directly opposed to the one rendered several days ago in the case of the indictment against Editor White of Benson for having published the article and the court stated that at the time of making the former decision he was not sure on certain points and hence would allow the attorneys for the defense to again renew their form CT objections if they saw fit so to do.

A great deal of pressure was brought to bear upon them and yes- terday the girls father signified his willingness to accept Quintenares as his son-in-laW. Quintenares himself is not of age and the written consent of his guardian, Mrs. R MarmolejO was necessary That was procured and Judge Phillips issued the license. La ter in the afternoon the young man was taken out of jail to the home of the brides parents where the ceremony was performed by Justice JOhnstone. The performance was not distinguished by special enthusiasm on the part of anybody connected with it.
 Quintenares is in much better shape than the other four young men who either perjured themselves or confessed to a felony to help him out of his trou- ble They are held to the grand jury on a chanrge of constructive rape. No one, of course, believes that they are guilty, but if not, the records of the justices court will show that they have been guilty of perjury. Two of them, Villanueva and Espinosa yesterday succeeded in furnishing bond, but Cas- as and Joe Bain are still in jail.
 The case against Quintenares will probably be disposed of by the reduc- tion of his bail to a nominal sum and when the matter reaches the grand jury it will be dismissed.
