FINE SUCCESS or
 Tilt KERMIS DANCES
Delightful Entertainment at Doris Opera House Last Night-Another Performance and Added Features Tonight.

The long promised entertainment has come at last, and behold. the end, is not yet. The combined settings of fine music, appropriate scenery, graceful motion, dainty costumes and pretty girls all served to make a harmonious whole. and the Kermis appeared in a blaze of glory.
 The curtain went up upon very realistic camp fire in the midst of a forest. The scene was made more en- trancing by the moonlight which ap- parently flooded the spot Gradually the activity of the scene increased as band of genuine savages came steathily in. After the smoking of the peace pipe they 'indulged in war dance accompanied by untranslat- able remarks in what was probably native Chippewa.
 The Scotch, lassies next appeared and gave the Highland Fling. This was an exact copy of the original fam ous dance, and finely executed. The encore was given by Miss Jennie Stey- ems. who danced the historic sword dance in a manner worthy of many older performers.
 Next came a tinkle of quaint music and a troupe Of Geisha girls came in. They went through with several grace full maneuvers before they sang My Happy Soldier Man" During the pro- gress of the chorus the victim of too much admiration came dancing in, to all appearances in a very happy frame of mind. But after repeated courtships he became "rattled' and ! h, fnl fol h,- nf admiriag maidens. The victim was most, happily personated by MT. Harry WeilN
 The Irish dance was next on the program. It was most charmingly given by six rosy colleen, in red and green peasant costumes. They re- sponded graciously to a hearty encore.
 Following this was the skirt dance by Miss Agnes Tracy and Miss Mabel Rocker. Knowing the natural grace and talent of both young ladies this was looked forward to with pleasant anticipation. and no one was disap- pointed. It was given with all the grace and precision of professional dancers and rehected much credit on both the charming participants.
 The American drill which came next was absolutely faultless of execution. The children went through the figures with well-trained accuracy and to say that it was both careful and creditable is to express it mildly. At the close of the drill the "Plath Twins" as they are affectionately known oanceo & very pretty figure called the Yankee Doodle dance" Their costumes were especially pretty and added much to the effect.
 At the close of the drill there was an intermission of half an hour, during which time the audience availed them selves of the opportunity to refresh their digestive apparatus with hot coffee. sandwiches. lemonade and candy which were to be found at the various booths. In one corner near the stage was a real windmill, and a

MEMRIEs OF LONDON POLITICS.

The early eighties were interesting and exciting times in English political history, and the most interesting and exciting period in Lord Randolph Churchilrs career: and these are the years covered by Lady Randolph Churchill in the chapters of her rem iniscences which will appear in the February Century. With her clever touch she has set down her memories of London politics and society at that time. of friendships with notable Eng fish statesmen. of the formation of the Primrose League. and of her own per sonal campaign experiences as well as her husband's-all the events and in cidents leading up to Lord Randolph Churchill's resignation of his post of chancellor of the eXchequer. the step which signed his political death war rant

BATTLESHIP AS A TARGET.

The Hero" one of Englands ob- solote war machines, built 19 years ago. was silently lowed away to the Longsands range to serve as a target for the 12-in. guns of two of England s modern battleships.
 Before being fired upon, white lines were painted on the "Hero's" sides, di- viding up the surface into squares dis tinguished by letters. A set of fire control instruments were fitted in her and dummy figures posted where the officers in charge of instruments would have been stationed in real action. After the sacrifice. which bears wit ness to the awful destructive power of an up-to-date battleship. nothing re- mained of the brave old Hero" but a mass of riddled iron and steel. The February Popular Mechanic contains a picture of the Hero" under fire.

ARIZONA ORANGES
 IN NEW YORK CITY
More Testimony Concerning Their Popularity, and the Fancy Prices They Bring.

The Fruit Trade Journal and Pro- duce Record of New York, of the issue of January IS, has reached Phoenix, and contains an item or two of speA cial interest to this section. One feat ure that attracts attention is an ad- vertisement across the top of one of the text pages which reads Arizona Navel Oranges, the only sweet navel oranges in the market at present. There are only a few more cars to be offered at auction Of Desert Brand of the Arizona Orange Association" The advertisement is that or Emil Zucca, agent, 105 Hudson street, New York.
 Another item that attracts attention is in the news columns and is as fol- lows:
 This years Arizona orange season will soon end, and the fruit this year was of unusually fine quality and bet ter graded and packed than ever be- fore. The crop will total about ninety cars, of which so far, twenty cars of the best have come to New York, packed under the Desert brand. Arizona oranges this season have sup piled the fancy trade in the absence of something better from California, Florida or Porto Rico. The Arizona growers are fortunate that their sea son is earlier than California. The mar ket was a little easier yesterday in sympathy with the decline on fruit from other sections. There are a few more cars to come. The next one will be offered on Monday"
 All Of this speaks well, even elo- quently, for Arizona oranges, for it speaks of money and money values and money is nearly always eloquent. In this connection it is well te say that while the navel season is about over the orange season is not over for there are others, the Jaffas for instance. A drive into the orange belt even now, after the navels are mostly gathered, will still reveal great many orchards where it does not seem as though the harvest has yet begun. The Jaffas though not as nice or salable a fruit. are still a good orange and there are lotes of them grown here. There is a good supply of them left, yet to be disposed of. While they probably will not return as good profits as the navels the man with Jaffas is better of than the man who has none and with as fine a crop as may always be depended upon in this valley, now that the water question is settled, even the JafTas are worth while. Navels will not last forever even in California, and there is little doubt but that Arizona can compete with the Golden state on Jaffas as well as she can on navels. P. Crump, who returned from Kansas City and Torpeka a few days ago, af- ter a successful effort to sell navels, left again Monday morning for the uprpose of selling Jaffas. The demand for navels twice exceeds the supply, even in markets where the Arizona product has not been heard of before. While he does not expect the Jaffas to take as well as the navels, he has great confidence that he can dispose of enough Jaffas to pay him well for his efforts.

handsome screen containing a charm ing dutch scene sketched in water col- ors by Miss Palmer. The booth was presided over by Frau Alexander in appropriate costume.
 After the intermission the program continued with a characteristic Dutch dance which brought down the house. The costuming was perfect and the dance most interesting Tn every way Repeated applause brought d short encore.
 In an evening so crowded with in- teresting features it is difficult to sim gle out any one part for extra com ment. Perhaps the most picturesque and certainly the most difficult num- Der was the castanet dance presented by the Misses Mabel Hooker, Frances Lount and Agnes Tracy. It was the poetry of motion and an unusually fine representation of the Spanish national dance. The young ladies who partici- pated covered themselves with we'll earned glory.
 The Dairy Maids, Miss Lily Butler and Miss Marie Pendleton did a pretty dance accompanied by the hired man Mir. Will Simpson who furnished the comedy. and very funny II was.
 The Italian dance given by four young ladies was very graceful and dainty. and formed a pretty contrast to the others.
 The coon dance and cake walk was better than anything of that kind often seen. While the dancing was very graceful the comic side of the figures was most ably presented.
 The program closed with what from a standpoint of picturesque beauty and dramatic force was the erowning glory of the evening, the Hungarian Gypsy dance. Frank Hilderbran as the King of the Gypsy, never sang better than he did in 'erhe Bandelero." Mrs. Hilderbran made beautiful queen, and her fine dancing was one of the best features of the evening. The rest of the band were entirely in har- mony. and formed able assistance. ! The interpolation of two songs by Baby Liebenow deserve special mem tion. Her singing is very sweet, her , dancing remarkable, and, her stage presence 10 be favorably commented upon.
 As a grand finale which was a sur prise to the audience. the entire troupe of actors and dancers went through with a spirited march closing with a tableau in which they were carefully grouped.
 Much praise cannot be accorded the . faithful and patient managers, Mrs. W. J. Pettee and Miss Jessie Palmer, for their fine work and careful. train { ing of the many sided affair. Throughout the entire program every movement showed the fine points of the drilling and the good natured patience which has charact- erized all the work.
 Space fOrbids mention of the many ladies who assisted in various ways 10 make the Kermis a success. At the close of last nights performance the votes for the Gypsy dance were in the lead. @
 Tonight the Kermis will be repeated with addition of the Roses and Bees and the Chinese Drill. Certainly every one who saw it last night can heartily recommend it to everyone who did not go.

being prepared for the most dazzling
comic opera Of the year, 'The Minstrel

The scenic artists had been working
day and night for weeks, and, with the
opening" now only a few days off, the
managers were nervously dreading
that the beautiful effects would not be
finished in time. To add to this fear,
Henry Granger, the artist on whom
the projectors of the great spectacle
had mainly depended, had succumbed
to the strain of working for days and
nights without sleep and scarcely stop
ping for anything to eat. He lay at
his little east side home, tossing and
raving in the delirium of typhoid fe-
yer. He had been absent from the
painters bridge" for nearly a fort
night, and, although his loss was con-
sldered serious at first, some one else
had filed his place. and now he was
forgotten. Scenic artists. like actors,
are improyident creatures, and if any
of the warm hearted stage folk had
had time to think Of aught except the
duties that weighed so heavily on each
and every one they might have
thought that the sick man, ont of work
and helplessly LII, might be suffering
for want of money. Granger was
favorite generally, and many time
had he gone down into his scant saw
ings to help swell contribution to
some needy professional in distress. If
anything ever reminded the company
of Changers absence it might have
been that his little girl. an only one of
seven. came no more with the artists

eide by leaping from the bridge of the
vessel at sea while she was bound FOR
Pensacola from Buenos Ayres. This
news was brought to Pensacola yes

Of the master. Captain Ellefsen was
well known in Pensacola, where he
had many friends, who will regret to
learn of his death.
The bark. which cleared from Pen

being released from quarantine late in
the afternoon, came over to the city

for themselves), which would be
equivalent to no representation for
this county in the House of Repre-
sentatives of the Legislature.
Seventh-It would be step toward
the recurrence of the conditions of
carpet-bag days from 1868 to 1877;
and those of us who are old enough
to remember will recall the expen-
diture of time, energy and in many
instances blood, that it required to re-
deem the state from those deplorable
conditions.
1t will not do to say that there is
no danger of such recurrence. Prior
to 1868 if such conditions had been
suggested, the suggestion would
have been ridiculed as impossible
of occurrence. Those times may re-
cur if we passively permit them Dy
not voting at all, or actively assist
their recurrence by voting for repub-
lican nominees.
There is moral obligation upon
every democrat who participated in
the primary last spring to vote for
the nominee of that primary. There
is a patriotic obligation upon every
democrat to see that the legislative
ticket named by the republicans is
not only defeated, but so Cverwhelm-
ingly defeated that there will be no
encouragement for them in the flu
ture to nominate a ticket.
The personnel of the candidates is
absolutely lost and merged in the
vaster issues. Let our white demo-
cratic primary do what it was intend
ed to do, has always done. and is now
doing in every county in the state
except Escambia viz; determine the
election of all nominees of the white
democratic primary
This is great democratic year;
do not let Escambia be found re-
creant in her duty to the demands
of democracy, patriotism and the
great Caucasian race
