MUSICAL TREAT COMING.

A rare musical treat is in store for the people of Ketchikan. The Snow Sromstadt concert will be presented here as soon after their arrival as ar engagements can be completed and it will unquestionably be one of the fin st e1tert mai Is " r offered in this city. Miss Crystal B. Snow. ''the songbird of Alaska" in company with Miss Dazie NJ. Strom stadt, has recently completed tour of all the principal northern cities. and was greeted by all of them by large and interested audiences. All of the northern papers speak highly of their abilities, and are enthusiastic iu their praise of the performance. The Juneau Dispatch, commenting upon recent production of the con- cert in that city says:
 'The Saow-Stromstadt concert last night was decided success. Tie large hail was filled with an apprecia- tive audience who enjoyed every num- Der rendered. It would be difficult task to decide which of the songs sung by Miss Snow proved the favor ite, for the young lady handled them all in such masterly way as to leave not the slightest shadow of criticism to follow either of her renditions. Perfect control of voice which obeys it's possessor in crescepdoes and softest pianissimos always in the most per feet time, with volume and breadth filling the building in the forte pas sages and coming like breeze in the soft diminuendos, was what the music loving people of our city heard last evening""
 The splendid ability of Miss Strom- stadt is also spoken of with the same high praise.

 The ladies who com pose the Ladies Auxiliary of the A. Y. P. E., are now studying what they shall undertake to do at the fair. They desire to present something which will attract attention as we'll as be instructive in it's nature, and thus call attention to all the re- sources of Alaska. Some have sug- gested miniature cold storage plant or cannery. Others, model of the Hadley shelter. They have been as- sured that the business men of Ket- chikan will back them up in any Apian they may adopt. Someone may have in mind an idea of an exhibit which would be preferable to either of those mentioned. Any person who has such an idea, either in embryo, or as a we'll considered plan, will do the ladies great favor by letting them know. Mrs. Hunt or Mrs. Julia Thompson will gladly give their attention to any one who will call with such a propo- sition. Their regular meetings CD Saturdays, are open to all.

NEW YORK MAY LOSE
 FAMOUS CENTRAL PARK

NEW YORK, July 25.--New York, with its debt limit reached, now finds itself confronted by the unpleasant ne- cessity of raising $2,500,00 or else see ing it's famous Central Park reduced to dust heap. Nearly twenty years ago the importance of this problem was brought to light and disregarded. Since then matters have been getting more and more serious until today the city finds itself in danger of losing its great. est spot of natural beauty, as well as it's greatest breathing spot, For years it has been increasingly difficult 10 continue the growth of trees, shrubs, flowers and gross. Not in forty.Dine years, than is since 1859, has the soil been renewed or adequately treated As result it has just about come to the point where all vegetation is due to disappear. So long has all considera tion of this matter been side tracked that nothing short of heroic treatment can keep this wonderful park from de- generating into an eyesore bare of all vegetation. Ordinary methods will not now suffice to save it, experts assert, the soil being too far impoverished. Treatment never before undertaken will have to he rcsortcd to, for SO ex. hausted is the soil at present that practically nothing could be raised on it. This in itself is serious enough but in addition there is the question as to the manner in which Father Knicker. booker is to raise the money necessary to save his park. With his borrowing capacity exhausted the problem is ex. tremely serious. Indeed, real estate men who have prophesied that sooner or later the park would be cut up into building lots see in the present situa. tion the likelihood of an early fulfill. ment of their prophecy.

RAzzLEOAzzlED BY CLIENTS
 BEAUTY
Prescott Attorneys For get Name of Congress
 SenOrita
(From Saturdays DaIlyl

Razzledazled by the beauty and charms of the buxom congress senorta whom Roberto Pelleiero, the brawny Congress blacksmith, was accused of enticing away from her grandparents ' roof, Assistant District Attorney For est and Attorney P. W. Sullivan re. turned nere yesterday morning after abandoning the prosecution and ar ranging for the marriage of the pair, by mutual agreement, without learning the name of the intended bride.
 "A stormy scene ensued in the court of Justice of the Peace Geer at Con gress Junction when the compromise was reached between the attorneys and the court, dismissing the criminal pro- ceedings against Pellejero. The grand mother and her husband, the step grandfather of the girl, declared that territorial reform school Co coll the ar dent love she displayed for her lover, and Pellcjero sent Co Yuma prison to blister under the burning sun a term of years as a repentance for his alleged ngentlemanly conduct.
 When Attorneys Forest and O'Sul. livan arrived in Justice Geer's court they found Pelleiero and the senorita in custody of Deputy Sheriff Tovrea. Attorney O'Sullivan informed the court that he desired to consult with Pelleiero and his beautiful fellow prisoner before the hearing of the case commenced. This was objected to by Attorney Forest, who desired to have the first interview with the girl. The court sustained the assistant district attorney and he was given the first paaver through an interpreter.
 Attorney O'sullivan then took his client, Pellejero, and the girl into a room adjoining the court for confer. ence. Her p-grandfather insisted on being present, to which the attorney for the defense objected. On further insistence on staying in the room, the man was foreibly ejected by Attorney O'Sullivan.
 After the ease was called Pellejcro testified that he was "stuck on the girl' and the senorita testified in the poetic Castilian tongue, "tha, he was her lover and that she wanted 10 marry him She said further that she left her grandparents home of her own free will for the reason that her grandmother desired her Co wed snoth. er, whom she did not love, and object. cd to her devotion to Pelleiero.
 A compromise was then arranged be. tween the attorneys. allowing Pellejero and his sweetheart ten days to secure the consent of ner parents, who reside in Phoenix, to the marriage. Her grandparents strenuously objected to the arrangement, demanding change of venue to one of the Prescott justice courts.
