SCHOOL OF MINES NOTES
The Regular Holiday Vacation Be
gins Today and Will Continue
Until January A, 1909.

The regular holiday vacation
at the School of Mines begins to-
day. Work will be resumed on
the morning of Monday, January
4, 1909. 1t will then be but
three weeks until the close of the
first semester, and it is probable
that some pretty hard work will
be done during those three weeks
to prepare for the mid-year ex-
aminations.
Among the students who will
hang up their stockings at home
are the following; d. M. Miller
of Lake Valley. ]. ]. Bowling of
Chicago. c. N. Hilton of San
Antonio. j. X. James of Car
thage, Horace Lyons and Paul
T.. Stein of FL Paso, and l.. Nj.
Carter of Silver City-these, of
course, besides those who are at
home in Socorro. All members
of the faculty are expecting to re-
main in the city the greater part
of the vacation, though two or
three may make short trips on
horse back.
When will the dormitory be
opened" is still a very urgent
question. The prospect is now
excellent that everything will be
in readiness for occupancy inn
mediately after the holiday vaca-
tion. The carpenter work and
other work is practically com
pleted and all that remains to be
done is the cleaning up and the
arranging of the furniture and
other equipments. The dormi-
tory will be as commodious and
comfortable as any in the terri
tory or elsewhere and it is expect
ed to furnish students rooms
and board at very moderate
cost.

P. J. SAVAGE IS SURPRISED
Presented with a Handsome Gold
Badge by Some of His Appreeia-
tive Friends.

There was a most delightful
surprise party Sunday evening
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. T..
j. Savage in the eastern part of
the city. 1t is not often that a
man is the recipient of a hand
some token of his friends APP
probation of his services to a
community in the capacity of a
private citizen, but that is prac-
tically what happened to Mr..
Savage. Half dozen of his
friends called upon him and after
time enough had been cousum-
ed in conversation to set Mr..
Savage to wondering what in
the name of Ireland's patron
saint the invasion of his home
and fireside could mean, Hon.
w. +. Martin arose and, in
short but one OF those neat and
eloquent addresses for which Mr..
Martin is famous, presented the
genial host with a handsome
gold badge ornamented with
diamonds. The badge was pre-
seuted as a token of the appre-
citation and esteem of citizens of
the community in which Mr..
Savage has lived and labored so
lcng and we'll. Probate Clerk
+. II. Sweet, in whose fertile
brain the idea OF making the pre-
sentation originated, pinned the
badge to the recipients breast.
Mr.. Savage then responded
brilly but with much feeling to
Mr.. Martins address and with
Mrs. Savage's valuable assistance
proceeded to do the honors hand
somely as host, though both he
and Mrs. Savage protested that
it was not fair not to have given
them a hint, at least, of what
was to happen. 1t was quite a
strange coincidence that the even
ing was the seventeenth anni-
versarv of the arrival of both
Mr.. Savage and Mr.. Martin in
Socorro. The guests present
were Hon. w. L. Martin, Hon.
Frank w. Parker, w. ID. New
comb, w. II. Winter of FL
Paso, Probate Clerk +. II. Sweet,
Sheriff Aniceto c. Abeytia, H.
M. Dougherty, John +. Griffith,
and +. A. Drake, and every one
of them had good reason to be
glad he was there.

BRYAN'S PURE
CANNED SPEECHES
TALKS INTO THE PHONOGRAPH
AT $500 PER ON ISSUES OF THE
CAMPAIGN.

Fairview, Neb., July 21.-Most of
today was spent by Mr.. Bryan in de-
livering short speeches on the issues
of the campaign into photograph.
Previously he had made similar
speeches on the records of a Compel
ing concern. The intention is to give
the speeches wide distribution
throughout the country. Of his own
voition, Mr.. Bryan announced that
he had received $500 from each of
the two concerns as compensation for
his work. When confronted with the
suggestion by newspaperrnan that
he had accepted money from COZ pora-
lions and thereby had acted con trary
to the declared policy of the demo-
cratic party, Mr.. Bryan stated that
the whole proposition was com uer-
cial one, and that he properly c.'uld
accept pay for his labors. The remit
tances were not retained by Mr.. Bry-
an, but he turned them over to the
state and county democratic commit
tees, respectively, as personal con-
tribution.

HODGE is MARRIED,

The Tacoma Times gives the fol-
lowing account of the wedding of q
former resident of Wenatchee:
The marriage of Miss Myrtle Hen
derson to Lyman Moys last night at
SiXtyfirst street and Park avenue,
seemed of minor Importance to
the announcement made at that
time that Attorney E. D. Hodge, a
cousin of the bride, had just taken
unto himself wife, Miss Constance
Ridnour of Palisade, Neb.
The announcement came as COM
plete surprise, not only to his rela-
tives, but also to his most intimate
friends.
The marriage occurred last Satur-
day in Seattle, where Miss Riinour
had been spending several days with
friend. Mr.. and Mrs Hodge then
took trip to Victoria, B. c., return
ing to Tacoma Sunday night, but the
secret was kept dark until last night.
Last night he took his bride to the
wedding of his cousin and announced
III oNh MAJ ldSc lie
guests could scarcely be convinced of
the truth of the story.
Mr.. Hodges friends realized today
how they had been ''couped," and
they have been trying to make up
for lost time. Mrs. Hodge was MAX
ing a trip through the western states
with friend. The nuptials We're to
have taken place this fall, but they
both decided that was too far away
Mr.. Hodge is one of the younger
attorneys of Tacoma. He is a candi-
date for the legislature this fall
from the thirty-seventh district. He
took an active interest in the recent
city campaign in connection with the
Young Mems Republican club.

WOULD TAKE
WIFE ALONG
JACOB RIIS INVITED BY KING OF
DENMARK TO TAKE DINNER,
ACCEPTS ON CONDITION.

New York, July ia press dis
patch from Copenhagen says:
Jacob Riis of New York, Danish
American author, and President
Roosevelt's friend, smashed the ETH
quette of the Danish court when he
was presented to King Christian by
Minister Egan at CharlUtenlund,
says a London special to the Ameri-
can.
Mr.. Riis brought to the king Mr.
Roosevelt's greetings and the king,
after a few minutes conversation,
said with the utmost cordiality:
Come to dinner at the palace on
Monday"
Riis at once answered.:
Yes, with pleasure, if 1 am per-
mittei to bring my wife along
The answer confused the king,
who. unused to this American icono-
clast of court etiquette, abruptly
commenced to talk about the weather
and remarked 'it was a fine day."
The audience ended prematurely.
Riis reported sick on Monday and
left Copenhagen before the king had
an opportunity to reinvite him.

STATE COLLEGE EXPERT HERE
TO ASCERTAIN THE CAUSE OF
1T.

Prof. r. Kent Beattie, botanist for
the State College az Pullman and
of the Washington Agricultural EX-
pertinent Station, is here for the pur-
pose of looking into the matter Of
tomato blish1 which so often infests
the orchards of the northwest.
I'VE are here to find if we can the
cause of the blgiht," said Mr.. Beattie
to the World last night. I'VE dom
know the cause of it, No one has
yet been aB:e to ascertain what it is
due to. We are taking the blighted
plants on the fiat and will try and as
certain whether the blight is a fun
gus, or bacterium, or whether it is
something else.
Blight of this kind in tomatoes
occurs in no other place, other than
the northwest-in Washington, Ore
gon and part of California.
Prof. Beattie spent yesterday with
Inspector P. S. Darlington in look
ing over the different kinds of pests
and blights which the latter had run
into during the summer.

CITY COUNCIL
PROCEEDINGS
VALLEY POWER COMPANY WILL
GIL is WILLING TO GRANT,
SCHEBLE OPENS FIRE.

The Valley Power franchise again
night. For some weeks the matter
has been before that body. The
question of the acceptance OF the
franchise, as prepared by the city's
consulting sngineer. sassaes tt ,Ieag
upon whether or not the council
would grant it without a bond being
given by the power company. The
council asked for a cash bond of $500
Or surety bond of $1,000.
The question last night, however,
was of different nature. The pow
err company wished to come right into
the city and to furnish lights to any
part of the town when it could be
shown that they could make s per
cent on their investment.
The council asked that the COM
pany string their wires through the
business portion of town and through
One-tenth of the residence district.
When a vote was taken on the
question of whether the city should
furnish the franchise without the
above conditions all members voted

F. NJ. Scheble, speaking for the
power company, intimatei that the
franchise such as the council was
willing to grant was "One-sided af-
fair" He also stated that to him It
looked as if there was something
wrong. with a paragraph so VIC
ious as that one in regard to fur
nishing power to one-tenth of the
town, we have no hopes of entering
the city," he said.
The members of the council, on
the other hand, contended that IL
the power company were not willing
to furnish power to places in the res
idence districts till it could be shown
that their investment would furnish
eight per cent, the burden of showing
this would be upon the city constant

ATTACKED BY
MAD CAT
son FIGHT WITH LITII +
CREATURE FOR FIVE MINUTES

The ten-year-old son of B. A.
Pitcher has been in a serious condi-
ton for the past two days as the re-
suit of an adventure with cat which
had fits. His hand is badly lacerat-
ed, and for some time it was feared
that hyirophobia or blood poisoning
would set in.
The incident occurred Monday
when Mrs. Pitcher and her son were
on their road home from visiting a
with them a cat which was being held
by Leonard, the son. Suddenly the
cat was seized with fits. Its actions
were such that the occupants of the
buggy got out.
In attempting to get the scowling,
frothing cat from the buggy the boy
was seized by the hand. Sinking its
fangs into that part of the hand be-
tween the the thumb and forefinger
it fought all attempts to release it.
For FIVE minutes in the dust of the
road, Mrs. Pitcher ana son fought
with the cat before it would release
it's hold.
Going to the house of neighbor,
the hand was dressed and Dr.. Culp
phoned for.
1t is believed that the poison has
been extracted. and it is hoped that
the boy will recover. The cat was
found dead a short time after.

THE CIRCUS
IS COMING
BARNUM & BAILEY'S BIG SHOW
MONTH.-ADVANCE MAN HAS
MADE ALL ARRANGEMENTS.

1t has now been definitely decided
that Barnum & Bailey's Big Show
will be in Wenatchee next month.
The advance man for the show was
N Wenatchee last night, paid the
500 for the license which is neces-
sary, made arrangements for the feed
required, and picked out a place to
set the tents.
Owing to the fact that this circus
is one of the largest on the road, il
may be safely predicted that the day
will be a gala day in Wenatchee.
