Verdict of Suicide

Tuesday there was received at the court house for filing the off cial proceedings of coroner's in- quest held at Tubac by Judge Black Friday of last week over the remains of Porfrio Mabis, a we'll known resident of that place who has resided there many years, and was one of the leading citizens of the community. The evidence given the jury showed that de- ceased went out from his home at g o'clock in the morning with a small rife, stating he was going to hunt rabbits. Not returning in a couple of hours search was made for him and his dead body was found in the brush a short distance away from his house, with a bullet in his brain. The verdict of the jury was to that end, and it was found further that the bullet wound was self inflicted with suicidal intent.

Arizona Territorial Fair.

It can be safely promised that the Fourth Annual Territorial Fair which will be held at Phoenix, November 9th to l4th, inclusive, will be the biggest and best fair ever held west of the Mississippi river. Much more general interest in Arizona's big show is being dis played by the people of the terri tory, giving promise of larger and more comprehensive exhibits from every one of the counties. In an ticipation for the increase in the exhibits a much larger floor space will be provided by the Commits sioners, and an addition to the grand stand will be erected, which will afford seating capacity for at least one thousand more people.
 The amusement and entertain ment features of the forthcoming fair will be the most novel ever afforded the public in this section of the country. One of the biggest attractions and one which will un- doubtedly attract many visitors from all sections of the southwest, will be the latest and most up-to- date AIR SHIP that can be secured And it will be REAL AIR SHIP; not a balloon, but flying machine which will accommodate several passengers. This big aerial vehicle will make daily flights, soaring over the grounds end the city and returning to the starting point on the ground. An immense. big ex. hibition tent will he provided for the flying machine and visitors will be given the opportunity of in specting at close quarters the most talked of invention in the world today.
 The racing this year will also be one of the attractions The purses for the harness races have been in- creased which assures the presence of a large field of the fastest horses in the country. The purses amount to $16,000 and include seven events for trotters and seven for pacers. There will also be the usual events for Arizona horses ard for the run ners, making altogether a speed program not to be excelled on the big tracks of the east.
 Premiums in many of the de- partments have been increased and the premium book, which will be issued in a few days, or any further information concerning the fair will be cheerfully furnished by R. A. Kirk, Secretary Phoenix, Ari- Zona.

MAY SWELL FUND FOR CATS
French Woman Offers to Sell SIS.
600 Picture at Sacrifice.
Friendly Hand Society Takes Up
Question of Sadly Depleted
Treasury.

Great Joy filled the hearts Of the mem-
bers of the Friendly Hand Society. which
met at the New Willard yesterday after
noon, when one OF the women members
made the statement that "a French lady.
great lover OF cats. who is connected
with the Turkish Legation, owned a
painting worth $4,000. which she would
like to sell and donate part Of the pre-
ceeds TO the Friendly Hand for the pur-
and abandoned cats" It was added that
the French lady would probably be Will
ing TO sell for less II she were properly
approached in the matter.
The question of a stringency in the
treasury Of the Friendly Hand Society
was under discussion. Other suggestions
made to alleviate this state OF affairs
were to the effect that it would be a
splendid idea to place contribution boxes
In hotels and stores, that entertainments,
fairs. and bazaars might be given. that
a committee should be appointed 10 de-
wise ways and means 10 bring about a
more healthy condition in the finances of
the society. This motion vas carried with
enthusiasm.
Mrs. Henry L. West, the president Of
the society, occupied tie chair, and Mrs.
Dimmick, the secretary, read the min
utes
Another suggestion made to help the
finances along was that II there should be
another fete at Friendship this summer,
the Friendly Hand Society should be on
hand with booth.

WORKING TO AID ANIMALS
President Snow, of Humane Society,
Outlines Policies.
Advises Cooperation with Other
More Closely Organized
Bodies.

Il was absent from Washington for
some months this year" said c. \ Snow
yesterday. when / was again. and for
the seventh time, elected president OF the
Washington Humane Society. I take this
means of thanking the society for this re-
peated honor
The policy Of the society win be, so
faI as I can influence it, the same, as il
has been during the six years that I have
been president. our efforts should be di-
rectly mainly TO the centers of the great
est suffering and cruelty. These will IN
doubtedly be found among work animals
those whose lives are useful and labor
ous, seldom free from fatigue and pain
Many of them undergo daily vivisection
from lash and load. from calling harness,
from insufficient food, and bedless stalls.
So conspicuous and transcendent is suf-
fering here that 1 have not been able 10
agree with some Of our members who
would have US turn aside from this Call
vary and cTucifxion ever before our
eyes. 10 the imagined wrongs of dogs and
cats. pets animaUx de luxe, that do
nothing and suffer nothing.
But let no one accuse US OF lnGlUeF-
ence TO actual or overt cruelty to dogs
and cats or anything endowed with
nerves of pain.
We should. as individuals and as a So
ciety. I think. continue 10 cooperate, as
far as we may. with those better and
abler. because specialized organizations:
The Board OF Children's Guardians. the
Associated Charities. the Juvenile Court,
and the many church societies that de-
vote themselves especially to the care Of
children. and through specialism obtain
better results than our society, originally
founded for the prevention of cruelty to
animals, can obtain.
During the past year we have for the
first time been favored by the organized
cooperation of the horse owners, and I
take this occasion to acknowledge, with
thankfulness, their assistance"

REAL HOT WEATHER ARRIVES
Weather Bureau Fails to Deny Ru
mors Of Summer Time.
Trees Are Blooming and Capital
Holds Record for Prettiesf CiIy
in the Spring.

It was downright hot yesterday. and
the remarkable fact about this statement
is that the Weather Bureau authorities
did not issue an official denial Of it.
On the contrary, the weather man said
last night that to-day would be still
warmer. and that it would probably also
rain. He did not say IT would snow, but
that is. Of course, a debatable question
and it is, therefore. not advisable to place
ones overcoat and winter clothes Into
the keeping of ones worthy uncle for
awhile yet
The presence Of the warmer season is
indicated in this city by the blossoms
just putting forth and the rapidly devel-
oping foliage. On every hand there are
spots Of bright colors that relieve the
somber aspect Of many Of the public
buildings and the dark hues of the resi-
dence streets.
At any season OF the year one may 1nd
pleasure In visiting the Botanic Gardens,
bat the present is peculiarly a proper
time Yet If one may not spare the time
for that, let him look about while pass
ing along the streets or through the
parks.
Here and there magnolia trees stand
out, a dome Of white blossoms spreading
a soft fragrance about There are many
varieties of the magnolia in the city, the
most prominent being the magnolia con-
spicua, which develops into a large tree.
A specimen of this variety is IN Frank
lin Park Another variety frequently
seen is the magnolia obvata, or purple
lowered magnolia, There are innumera-
bic other trees and shrubs. which, under
the rays of the sun, which are growing
stronger every day, are sprouting and
blooming and ornamenting the city's
streets and parks into bowers OF beauty
and fragrance.
