FATHER HEALEY'S
FINAL LECTURE
Tells Why He l. il Catholic-Thank>
Church Attendants For Kindness
aud the Press OF TIE City
For FaNGr>.

The last series of doctrinai lectures
by the Pau.ist Fathers WAS delivered
on Monday night in St. Joseph's
church by Father 1Iealey to a large
and attentive audience Father Hea
ley's subject was: WHY / Am Cath
Ole" He explained that while not a
convert, Yet his years Of study and eX
perience in his life work among non
Catholic in course of which he mad
been familiar with all the questions
and difficulties of non-Catholcs in re-
gard to the church, gave him the right
to speak on this subject to show the
reason of the faith that was in him.
lie then proceeded to re-
new the line of thought
that had been logically carried out in
the lectures of the past week and then
offered as his final argument for be-
Ing Catholic, a reason based in these
two facts: first, that he believed
Christ to be truly God and that the
Catholic church was certainly the his
torical Christian church, teaching to-
day as Christ taught and the same
doctrines which were taught in the
Apostolic church.
The sermon was followed by the
Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament,
after which Father IIealey spoke
few words of thanks to all assembled
He thanked the pastor and his assis-
tant and all the congregation made his
stay so pleasant among them. He also
thanked the choir and ushers and altar
boys. He extended special thanks to
the non-Catholics, who had attended
the lectures and gave wish to the hope
that the good feeling which their pres
ence evinced would always continue.
Finally he said he wished particularly
to thank the press of the city for the
kind and extended notices they had
given of the work done

Denver. Col, June I've are en-
tirely satisfied with the manner in
which Denver is planning to handle
Your new auditorium will be the
finest building of its kind in the world,
and it is admirably arranged to accom-
mOdate large national convention.
Denver is keeping every promise
made to the national committee and

The foregoing was the unanimous
expression of the members of the
committee on arrangements of the

conclusion of their recent meeting in
Denver. The committee came to Den

to take up in detail the arrangements

fame of Denver's hospitality has
spread around the world, and the eli

assured that convention hall would

had carried all day. The Tempe man accepted it with little reluctance but from now on will keep it as a momento of a very unusual experience. After coming into possession of the walking stick. the new owner discovered that it was really more than what it ap- peared The handle came loose from the rest of the stick and carried with it a dagger a little less than a foot long and as sharp as a razor. II may be remembered that a Phoenix paper made the statement that Spencer ha- bitually carried with him this weapon.
 Accordingly to published accounts of his career Spencer is undoubtedly a bad man, but he is nevertheless a smooth and clever operator and man ages to conceal his true character in an easy manner. Needless to say, if he ever returns to Tempe he will find that the friendship of his acquaintance here has waned somewhat.

BLACKMAILFR SPENCER
 WAS A TEMPE VISITOR
He Spent an Afternoon Here and Left a Relic With Former Friend.

Considerable has been said in the Phoenix papers the past week about one Spencer. alias Cameron, who drop 1 ped in there and after making an in- ! effectual attempt to blackmail the Phoenix Chinamen. proceeded on to | Tucson where his true record was shown up. It is not generally known however, that Spencer spent an after noon in Tempe on his way to Tucson and the circumstances of his visit here will be of interest in view of the things that have come to light about the man since he was here.
 A Tempe man, who under the condi- tfons as they now exist. wishes his name withheld from publication, made the acquaintance of Spencer in a cas- ual way in New Orleans last summer Spencer appeared quite familiar with conditions and things in Arizona and being thrown together for some little time. he and the Tempe gentleman grew to be fairly good friends. Before they parted Spencer remarked that if he chanced to be in Tempe during the winter he would favor the Tempe man with a call. Spencer arrived here about q week ago and promptly looked up his acquaintance. He was shown about town and was introduced to the writer He is undoubtedly one of the most clever crooks out of jail at the present time. He speaks English fluently as well as Chinese and several other lan- guages. His conversation carries with it just enough foreign accent to make it attractive and he is well versed on topics of the day. He explained to the writer that he was the official Chinese court interpreter of San Jose, Cal. He is an especially affable man and makes friends readily. He expressed himself as more than pleased with Tempe and is evidently rather proud of nOtoriety as he requested a copy of the next mornings paper sent to him at Tucson. Having no reason to suspect that he was anything but what he pretended to be his Tempe friend made it as pleasant for him here during his short stay as possible and upon leaving on the evening train, Spencer insisted that his friend accept as a token of his re- gard for him, a walking stick that he

ELECTRIC REGISTER
 10 HANDLE THE CASH
Ford Hotel Cafe Has the Latest Thing Made For Counting Money.

IT anyDOdy doubts the prosperity of this valley he should take a look around town at the modern devices that are being installed by business men generally to save time and null tiply conveniences. Even the old fashioned methods of raking in mon- ey and keeping track of it have be- come obsolete and too slow for this wide awake community Time is too precious in some quarters to be vast ed even in opening money drawers in the old fashioned way and keep ing track of the business transactions.
 The very latest device of this sort to reach the city is an electric cash register of the most improved design, made by the National Cash Register company and installed in the Ford Hotel cafe. It is a stock keeper, a printing press and writing machine combined in one It is more than that. It is a veritable banking house having about all the departments re- quired to operate a trust company. except there is no vault to keep the bonds in and every compartment is entirely separate from the others.
 The register is much larger than most of the older models in use here and cost between $500 and $500 It is mounted on a handsome mahogany cabinet in which are separate drawers for each employe and as many may be provided and attached to the me- chanism as the owner chooses to have. All the recording apparatus is attached to as many drawers as desired, as also are all the denomina- tional money keys. Whatever em- ploye is on duty by the operation of his private key switches the mechan- ism to his particular drawer. When another succeeds him another switch is made and no one. not even the proprietor. can get into his drawer without the key. Each drawer has total column so the employe can determine if there is an irregularity in his own work. There is another device to which the proprietor with grand total of the transactions of each and all the employees.
 If it is desired to so equip it the machine will issue a receipt to each customer for each sale made. these sometimes being used for prize draw fngs. There are devices also for re- cording the character of sales, up to an almost unlimited number. That is machine may be made large enough if desired, to record each sale in ali the different lines in an ordinary mercantile house. Supposing it be a wet goods emporium it will record how many individual drinks, how many quarts, pints, lunches or the number in any other specified line are disposed of. The machine is op- erated by small electric motor though the motor may be detached and the machine operated with a crank as in the older models. The motor is used only because the ma chinery is of such quantity that hand operation would be rather slow and laborious compared to the simple touching of a button, when the draw CT opens instantly and without effort on the part of the operator. Messrs. Williams and Haffner propose to keep up with the procession and if they can't take in the money fast enough with electric machinery they will in stall a steam dredge and handle it by the bucketful.

For some time past there has been more or less talk here of organizing night school during the winter months. Such a school was operated here some four years ago under the management of Prof. Scudder and met with gratifying success. It was well attended and much good work was done. It is proposed to conduct the school this winter on plans similar to those used in the former instance Such a school will TO doubt be of much benefit to many here who are desirous of taking up work and who are unable to attend school in the day time Any one Interested in the matter should see either John Hyder or Prof Scudder and talk the matter over with them.
