 Mrs. B. A. Fowler acted as hostess, receiving the teachers at the door. Lat CT in the afternoon refreshments con- sisting of ice cream and cake were served.

DELIGHTED, CHARMED
 AND ALSO SURPRISED
Impression Made on General and Mrs. Sampson by Visit to Castle Hot Springs.

General and Mrs. A. J. Sampson paid visit to Castle Hot Springs last week. returning the first of this week. When seen yesterday he was greatly en- unused over his little trip and said that he was more than surprised with the excellence of everything he saw while gone, notwithstanding he had read much about the springs in The Repub- lican. He said it is impossible that the people of Phoenix appreciate what a delightful resort it is or the hotel would be crowded, even with the home folks, during the greater part of the winter season. The expense of going there is but slightly more than that of the little picnic trips and excursions into the nearby hills, between five and six dol lars covering the transportation, and the resort affords all the pleasures of such trip and many more. Continu- ing the conversation the general said:
 'Delighted with them? Yes, more. charmed. surprised. We had no idea there was such a charming. healthful resort so near Phoenix It may well be classed among the best in the Unit ed States. We have been to those ad- vertised more extensively and many years more patronized. hence better known. but none possessed of more merit than this.
 No better, purer water and no better for baths. The water comes out of Assure in a large rock so hot that no one could bathe in it, but in pipes it is carried to large swimming pools, to bath houses, to the hotel and 'bunga- f,, there are all kinds of baths. baths si- miliar to those at Carlsbad, Germany. I can't now recall the names of the va rious kinds but it seemed to me there were enough for the health or pleasure of anyone. No one can see without be- ing convinced that this is true.
 The hotel accommodations are much better than we had any idea-enough for 15O guests. An excellent table and service. Last winter there were as many as ninety there at one time and more thau-thi are expected this win ter
 Saddle horses can be had by those wishing te ride. good hunting by nim- rods. picturesque canyons to explore, equal to many noted ones in the Andes or Alps, and the most invigorating rest to be found any place.
 No resident of Phoenix who can af- ford to take an outing of a few days should fail to go to Castle Hot Springs" while no winter visitor in Arizona has seen one of the best things to be seen if he fails to go there. The expense for a trip from Phoenix there is a mere trifle."

NOT AN ANARCHIST
 MERELY A GREEK
Mir. Thymanaki Becomes An Incipient Citizen of the United States.

Stanatatious Antonious Thymanaki is now as much of an American citi- zen as one can become in the short space of a half an hour. That MT. Thymanah will be a good citizen is evidenced by his purpose to make as little trouble as possible with his name He has eliminated the entire front part of it and has substituted for it the more convenient handle, James"
 MT. Thymanaki is a Helene by de- scent but he had the misfortune to be born in Cos. Asia Minor, under the dominion of the sultan so it was with more than ordinary satisfaction that he foreswore allegiance to all princes and potentates in general and Abdul Hamid II in particular.
 He is twenty eight years old but he has been something of a wanderer on the face of the earth. His first home after leaving the country of his na- tivity was London where he resided for some time. After that he went to Egypt but returning to London he sailed from Southampton for New York in November of 1902. Though he remembered the name of the steam CT, the American liner St. Paul he was not sure of the year and he could only fix that as the year following the as sassination of President Mckinley. He was at Southampton at that time and the tragedy made a strong impression upon him.
 Are you an anarchist or a polyg- amiSt?" asked Clerk Dunlevv in coo- formity to the present more sitting immigration laws.
 "No." replied MT. Thymanaki. apol- ogetically. evidently fearing that he was lacking in some qualification for citizenship. I'm a Greek" He proceed ed further to apologize for being a Turkish subject. That was something for which hts Greek ancestors and the fortunes of war were to blame He re- ceived his first papers.

BY REPRESENTATIVE THEO. e.
BURTON OF OHIO
Chairman of the Inland Waterways

WASHINGTON, d. c., May IL
The president has called conven-
tion to consider the conservation
of the national resources. This con-
vention promises to be one of the
most important gatherings ever
held in the country. 1t has the
unique distinction of meeting at
the White House and the president
is to act as the presiding officer. 1t
will be addressed by Messrs. j. j.
Hill, Andrew Carnegie, John Mitch
ell, VIM. j. Bryan and number of
other prominent men.
The aim is to preserve, as far as
possible as a heritage for the fu-
ture. the forests, the mines and the
public lands of the country; also
to devise plans for the improve
ment of the waterways and the
utilization of water power. This
convention was called on the sug-
gestion of the members of the in
land waterways commission, a
body formed by appointment of the
president in March, 1907.
Last October the president took
a trip down the Mississippi river
from Keokuk to Memphis. He was
accompanied by the members OF
this commission and by the gov
ernOrS of a large number OF states

this display, you size him up as

His eyes are blue. His hair light

WHY ROOSEVELT CALLED
CONSERVA TON MEETING,

During the trip the commission
addressed a letter to the presi-
dent. calling attention to the de-
pletion Of the resources of the
country, the rapid exhaustion of
the timber supply, the importance
of inland navigation and of water
power, and suggested that such a
conference should be called.
In the solution of the problem
it is necessary that there should
be co-ojeration between the federal
government and the respective
states, for the problems of conser-
walton must be solved in part by
national authority and in part by
legislation in each state. 1t is de-
sired that the greatest possible lie
gree of uniformity be maintained
in state legislation.
In addition to Legislation, it is
desired that an effective public
sentiment be aroused which shall
demand the preservation as far as
possible of our national domain.
The president has become en-
thusiastic in his desire to accom-
plish salutary results along this
line and so marked is the interest
that as many as 40 governors of
states will be present at this con-
ference. Indeed the absentees can
be accounted for by reason of i'll.
ness. as in the case of Gov. Guild
or by unusual engagements al

lives of one young man and five
women is located in Chicago and
has members scattered throughout
the surrounding country, according
to the parents of Herman De Kruy-

The suicide club is believed to
bear the name of THE Society OF

ler's body was found he had a
black silk veil tied across his face,
wore black silk gloves and black
silk stockings.
The parents declare these things

tried to kill himself. The package
of silk articles was received by
mail shortly before he died.
