MANY REPORTS CONFIRM NEWS
 B|G MAJORITY
Friends of Arizona's Delegate To Congress Feel Secure Over 400 in Graham--LocaI Situation Improves Daily.

Reports continue to come to Cochise Democratic headquarters from all parts Of the territory to the effect that there is every indication that Mark Smith will this year be given by the people of Arizona the biggest ma jority he has ever received at their hands. Tke very attacks that have been made on him seem not only to have aroused his friends in his de fense, but to have called tae attention of the voters all over the territory to the eminently successful service he has rendered them.
 A letter recently received from Hon. J. R. Hampton, Democratic nominee for the council in Graham county, says:
 Mark Smith has been here and received an enthusiastic reception. Think his majority in this county will be at least 400 and 1t may reach 600. | Cameron, Morrison, Governor Kibbey and others have been here, but did not succeed in arousing any degree of enthusiasm. Collins was here for a day or two. but if he did effective work we have not heard of it, or seen any evidence of it.
 | hAo ID 5OAAS lO DC et 41NlHOGA ellAG year in Graham county, and we in | tend to compete with Cochise for the honor of giving Mark Smith the larg-
 est majority in the territory" This is a sample of the reports that !; are coming in from all parts of the Iterritory-that this is going to be a
 Democratic year, and that Mark
 Smith is going to have a majority
 even larger than he has been getting heretofore.
 The Democratic central committee
 is now down to regular work, and be-
 sides the work of the president and
 secretary, the time of a stenographer
 is required to answer the correspond
 ence that is pouring in from all parts lof the county. The organization of
 the forces of Democracy is already
 well under way, and all parts of the
 county are being heard from and
 reached daily.
 Among the surprises of yesterday s
 mail was a letter from a well known man who had practically allied him.
 self with the Independence movement,
 stating that his services were at the disposal of the Democratic party, that : he was tired of "monkeying," and that he was back in the Democratic , fold where he belonged and was going to work from now until the day of the
 election for the success of the ticket, fl The same mail brought letters from two well known Republicans , stating that they were going to sup . port the Democratic nominees, and , would do what they could for the , party, and especially the election of D Mark Smith.
 The finance committee, whose mem , ibers are in various parts of the coun II ty, is proving to be the star commit 9 tee, and there is hardly a day passes that one of the members does not sent ' in a substantial check for the main r tenance of the aggressive campaign ,- begun.

LULU CHASER IN NEW ROLE
 NEXT SEASON
Actress Declares She Will Re- tire From Stage Next Year While Honors Are Still Thick Upon Her.

Perhaps you might not expect to find Miss Lulu Glaser a very sensi- ble and sedate young woman, who adoTes her husband, loves her home and revels in her paintings. Maybe you would be more apt to picture her as thougatless, rolIicking girl-the Mischief of Mile. Mischief" in which she is now appearing at the Lyric Widow burlesque, the "Lolo from Berlin" and the Dolly Warden" to mention few of the stage titles with which the comic opera star has been associated in recent y1ears. To be frank, the latter description seemed to the writer to fit Miss Glaser until the other day when he went to inter- view her in her home. Then he was disillusioned-in the right direction.
 'Whica goes to prove" said the Herald reporter after having digested the fact that Miss Chaser is fond of other things than might be ascribed to the likes of Mile Mischief, that a woman may be happy though married and on the stage"
 Yes" admitted the actress, but with a proyiso or two. You doubt less known that my husband is MT Ralph c. Hertz, the Mephisto LucifeT of the Soul Kiss and we have an agreement that tae theater and its petty gossip, its little scandals, should not be discussed by us at home. Wher l leave the theater leave all it's tu InuIts and what not behind me. And so we have little world of our OWL up here in which the theater plays nc part We have our mutual friends, our paintings and books. And it Is the only way that it is possible for 2 couple on the stage to live happily and above all, peacefully. The mat rimonial crash is bound to coma te those who, bring the life of the thea ter into their own homes or those wh' make their homes in the theater.
 And the reason? Because the same person is not at all the samt at home and in the theater. The ex citement of the stage converts nor nal, sane person into one who is ex citable and unreasonable to a degree If my maid displaces pin or puts brush on the wong side of my dess ing table at the tleater I'm quit ready to scream with impatience; a home, I would not notice such trifle at all. Because of the hustle, the excitement and glamour, the import snee of everything is hystericall. nlagnified in the theater.
 And that is probably all neces sary," said Miss Glaser, with a sigh flor without that tense feeling I would be impossible for an actress L enjoy her talents, wit and energI night after night in order to enter tain the public"
 Then there's a formula, after all for success on the stage?"
 Quick as a flash came the answer
 There is indeed, and that formuli Is enthusiasm. I've been on the stag now-well, I don't mind telling it-1 years. Truth conpels me to admi that this is my sixteenth year befor the public. And during that time

AVALON, Oct 13-Two different fishing parties that went out from Avalon early yesterday in rowboats had a very exciting as well as dan gerous time before they got in again, due to the high sea that was running all day. The boats contained MT. and Mrs. L. s. Cooper and party of friends.

The Worlds Movement For Peace.

ceptional," said the speaker. 1.-The
cruelties of war are lessening.
Women and children are no longer
slaughtered or sold into slavery.
The hospital service is greatly i'm
proved and the United States has
recently abolished giving prizes to
naval men for victories. More ex-
tended acquaintance with foreign
peoples and growing interest in
arbitration makes war seem more
senseless and futile. At the great
peace conference at the Hague, in
1902, not only were the great powers
OF the world represented, but also
many of the smaller ones. We have
just entered upon a new century,

is more troubled by them; more and
more men perceive their wasteful-

Today the people of Lancaster
and the surrounding country WIFI

women to just such trifes; as keep
ing room neat, telling story to a
little one, or Frightening another's
disappointment. It is the way we
do a thing, the feeling of duty and
responsibility which lends dignity
to labor of any sort. No work need
be considered in ferior which is
honorable, and Is done in the right
spirit. In justly and wisely per-
forming the home duties we qualify
ourselves for whatever work may
come our way. If the life that Is
ours we must make the best and
strive to fill it with work for others
with living human interests Let it
be an ambition for us to educate
and cultivate ourselves for such a
profession as this. The girl that
follows this calling and keeps alight
the sacred altar of home will share
the best in life and find life's great
est blessings. She will blossom in
the home to sweeter, stronger wom-
anhood, as the tended roses surpass
those of the highway"

Spirit of Confidence

Ina Hastings: "A spirit of conf
dence moves the world and accom-
plished the seemingly impossible.
Christopher Columbus had dreamed
for years of land toward the set
ting sun, but he could not even at
tempt his cherished desire of seek
ing to find it. He was forced to
struggle not only against poverty
but also against the the distrust OF
others in his treasured idea. He
appealed to the great leaders OF
Europe, hoping to inspire in them
the same confidence which was
within him. At last he was sue
cessful in interesting the Queen OF
Spain, who sacrificed her jewels to
set him forth with three small ships
upon his voyage OF hoped for dis
covery. AS the vessels ploughed
for weeks across the trackless ocean
amid untold difficulties and discour-
agement his followers were sus-
tanned and their hopes strengthened
only by their firm trust in their
leader, and at last they attained the
cherished end and set foot upon the
new land of their discovery-Amer-
lea. The same confidence which in
biblical days led the multitudes to
recognize King David as ruler by
Divine right-that same confidence
which placed a descendant of his
upon every throne in the civilized
world, not by force. but because of
the belief of the masses that God
reigned through descendant of this
divinelY inspired man-this is the
same confidence which to day leads
us to have faith in our Chief Execu-
tive and those with, him at the
head of great nation. We have
reached, in theory at least, a gov
eminent in which law is presumed
to reign supreme-a thought made
possible only in that confidence of
man in man, which recognizes ev-
cry person as an essentially law
abiding citizen and which recog-
nlzes all law, aside from mere po-
lice regulation, as that springing
from snperhuman source and enact
ed by one whose power was sufic-
lent to have conceived man and
created it. With confidence this
great nation was founded and with
that same all abiding confidence
our destinies have been guided I'M
til treasures have been brought
from their hiding and the hand of
man has reared magnificent struct-
uIes, mute but gigantic express ions
of confidence.

Russia and jar an" said Alba @.
Edwards, 1.-THE heroic defense of
Port Arthur, the strategic point of
vantage, will go down in history as
only memorable deeds of valor can.
The hero of that great struggle,
watched with absorbing interest by
the whole civilized world, was the
leader of the beleaguered Russian
forces-Gen. Carl Stoessel. Slowly.
one by one, the Japanese army,
under command of the indomitable
Gen. NOgi, succeeded in capturing
the outer fortified hills The turn
ing point of the siege occurred on
the 18th of August and Gen. Stoes-
sci was asked to surrender, but re-
fused, the opposing armies surged
back and forth like waves upon a
rock bound coast, and after hold
ing the fortress for another eight
months for promised reinforce
ments from Gen. Kuropatkin that
never came, Stoessel finally sur
rendered; the great struggle ended,
and Gen. Stoessel, then veteran
of go years. sought to retire in
peace. Jealous military leaders,
however, charged him with coward
ice and he was brought to trial by
his government, convicted, and
sentenced to seven years imprison-
ment in Russian dungeon. Here
the man who fought bravely in his
country's defense is ending his days
in solitude and sorrow. Thus ends
the career of man who battled
bravely for his country and whose
reward is that of bearing the brand
of coward and shut out in disgrace
from the outside world, his reputa-
ton shattered and ruined through
a conspiracy of jealous rivals in a
despotic government"

Fire at Fenninore

The Fennimore livery barn owned
by VIM. Clafton, of that place, was
completely destroyed by fire Thurs
day morning. The fire started at
about two o'clock in the hayloft and
was Of unknown origin. After the
alarm was sounded it spread so
quickly from the loft to other parts
of the building that it was 1mpos-
sible for the fremeu to control it.
Seven horses were burned to
death IN their stalls and eight were
saved. The rigs and harness were
all destroyed with the exception of
one rubber tired buggy. All the
hay and grain was lost. The total
loss was estimated at about $4,000.

The Guiding Spirit of HuII'House.

Mary Elizabeth Johnson: about
1887 there was established in New
York city The Neighborhood
Guild From this the University
Settlement of New York has de-
veloped. Almost identical with the
establishment and development of
this institution Hull House In
Chicago was established under the
supervision of Miss Jane Adams.
Since that time the names of Miss
Adams and Hull House have be-
come familiar to all people interest
ed in any way in settlement work.
Miss Addams is native of Illinois
and graduated from Rockford col
lege in 1881, following which she
travelled extensively in Europe. 1t
was during her travels on the con-
tinent that she became interested
in the work of the social settlement.
For nearly seven years she studied
and investigated the social life of
the people of different countries.
While in Spain she met Miss Ellen
G.. Starr, who also became interest
ed in the work. In 1889 these two
women found in Chicago the house
which was destined to become the
greatest and best known of social
settlement houses. It was leased.
and since that time many improve
ments have been made and more
houses built, until today there is a
group Of ten houses, which COM
prise what is known to the world
as The Hull Settlement. There is
the main house for residents, a
building occupied by a cooperative
club OF working girls, fully equipped
gymnasium, small but beautiful
theatre, large restaurant, build
ing used as a mems club room and
work with children and group of
buildings for apartments and lodg-
ing. The mission of Hull House is
one of pure neighborliness. It as
sames at the beginning that there
is to be an exchange of kindly Of
fees and mutual benefits. It has
no cumbrous theories to which it is
bound to conform, but is ruled only
by loving intelligence that con-
stantly seeks the best good of the
community, of which it has, by
free choice, become an important
and responsible part. Schools have
been established here for the work
ing people and the pupils are main
ly employees in shops and factories
and many noted and able lecturers
talk here to large and appreciative
audiences. Miss Adams endeavors
to emphazize, constantly, the idea
that social work represented in the
settlement is not for the rich or the
poor only, but for all classes as the
Lord mixes them. Every year
thousands of people visit Hull
House, many to see how the work
of the settlement is carried on,
while others go there for the help
which they know is theirs for the
asking, and they realize that the
noble little woman, known TO the
world as Jane Adams. is, in reality
the guiding spirit of Hull House"

sity of Wisconsin, who was formerly

Under the most suspicious cir
cumstances were the thirty third
annual commencement exercises of
of Lancaster high school, class of
1908, carried out yesterday forenoon
at Reeds opera house.
The decorations were not elabo-
rate but tasty and attractive and
the work was done by the junior
class. A multitude of crepe RIB
bons in green and white, the class
colors, were suspended from the
chandelier IN the center to the four
corners of the room, and the same
color scheme prevailed in the decor
atoms of the prOscenium boxes.
The stage was banked with ferns,
palms and flowers, all in green and
white. Suspended above the stage
was the class motto: To-day we
anchor; tomorrow we sail"
The graduates were:
