Lord Wellesley was sent to his relief,
but it arrived too late. An advance
corps reached Khartum late in Janu-
airy of 1885, only to find that the town
had been treacherously betrayed into
the hands of the mahdi two days be-
fore, and Gordon murdered. He died
martyr to British red tape which had
delayed so long the attempt at his res
cue.
Gordon greatest monument is the
modern Sudan and its capital, Khar-
tum. Since the tragic day twenty-four
years ago, when Gordon met his fate,
Khartum has grown into noble city,
which as you approach 1t by the Sou
dan government railway, the desert
railway which Kitchener built, is seen
in beautiful setting of palm trees,
among which rises the splendid white
palaces of the encouragement 1t
has public gardens, church, a hotel,
and on the river a fine steamer Is at
the service of tourists who wish to
make excursions. The territory of
which 1t is the capital is under a sys-
tenn of government which has pro-
duced wonderful results. The revenue
of the Soudan in 1898, when the Eng.
fish took it over, was estimated at
$4,000, though it proved to be a35,000
Eight years later 1t was estimated at
over 100000. Last year it exceeded
million. There was in 1907 an in
crease Of more than forty per cent.
over the preceding year in the area I'M
der cultivation, although the Nile was
one of the lowest ever known.
Khartum stands at the confluence of
the Blue Nile and the White Nile, on
the tongue of land between the two
rivers In the palace of the governor
general is what for Englishmen is a
sacred spot-the room, which has been
built into the new palace, where Cor
don met his death. Among the sights
are the environments, where contin-
gents of twenty Soudanese tribes are
encamped, so that the curious may see
thhem living under their own condi-
tions-the fierce Baggara Arabs, the
Jaalin, the cannibal Nyam-Nyams, and
others. At Omdurman can be seen re-
mai9s.of the ,mahdi's tomb, destroyed
after the occupation. the khalifa's
house exactly as he left it, the great
market, and Gebel Surgham, the hill
on which the khalifa sat and watched
the battle which broke up his power.
Ten years ago the khalifa, the head
of the mahdist movement, was still
alive, for it was not until November "a.
1899, that Colonel (now Lieutenant
General Sir Francis) Wingate struck
the last blow at the remnant of the
mahdist forces at Omdebrekat.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Nearly two
months of active preparation will cul
inmate tonight in the production at the
Manhattan Opera House of Richard
Strauss musical drama based on Os-
car Wilde's poem, "Salome." Rehears-
ais have been going on almost con-
tinuously since the first of December.
The only way in which "Salome's"
indescribably complex score could be
studied by the musicians was by the
alternate rehearsals of the various So
called choirs of the orchestra.
Such a combination of instruments
had never been gotten together be-
fore. For instance, there is a heck
lophon, which Strauss conceived and
had designed and made expressly for
use in "Salome." 1t is a monster oboe
and furnishes the bass to that plain
tive instrument Maestro Campaninn
says it furnishes a color in the orches-
ira which no other instrument can pro-
duce.
The contra-bassoon is not a stran-
ger. but one will be interested to learn
that instead of four French horns
Strauss insists upon six; instead of
three trombones he demands four; in
stead of two flutes he must have three
and piccolo; instead of two ordinary
bassoons, three are required; while

TERRITORIAL PHYSICIAN
 SAYS HEALTH IS GOOD

TUCSON, Oct. 2.-That general health conditions in the territory at the present time are as good as can be expected during this season of the year, was the statement of Dr. E. $. Godfrey, territorial superintendent of health who was in the city yester- day. Dr. Godfrey, until few weeks ago, maintained his headquarters in this city. He came here for the pur- pose of removing his household ef- tects to the capital
 With the exception of number of .typhoid fever cases now in, existence principally in Cochise county, the ter rftory is virtually free from contagi- ous or infectious diseases. A few cases of typhoid are being cared for In this city, but all are mild cases and the contagion is not likely to spread Benson still has a number of cases. but the situation is improy- ing.
 Dr. Godfrey states that the out break of typhoid at Bisbee is nothing unusual. Such outbreaks are record ed every year in the big Cochise min ing camp, but this year the epidemic has been heavier than usual. Poor sanitary conditions in Bisbee are re sponsible, according to Dr. Godfrey.

feur was next called and proved a weak witness for the prosecution and the testimony of Ernest New fol. lowed and did not strengthen the case. Thus when the noon recess came 1t seemed to the outside attor- neys, of whom there were several present, that the prosecution had up to that time failed to establish it's case. The policy of the defense was to leave the proof of living" about houses of i'll fame and no cross ex- animation was attempted except in two cases and then only in the brief est manner.
 After recess the prosecution con tinued in the same line of proof for a short time and then closed its case.
 The defense put on several wit nesses to prove that Lamb claimed a, residence at the CourtIand rooms. that he paid his room rent there and occupied his room. After this the case was given to the jury without summing up or without argument on either side. This was before O. clock and at 8 o'clock the jury was still out.
 At 3:15 the jury came in and an- nounced that they had agreed upon a verdict and that they found the de fendant guilty.

 Secretary Pollard says that after many delays, caused by combina- tion of unfavorable circumstances the Y. M. c. A. building at Phoenix is now in good shape and that Phoe- nix will be ene of the most important fields of Y M c. A. work in the ter rftory.
 Douglas is in excellent shape and the Y. M. c. A. membership is larger now than it has ever been since the organization was perfected.

Fl PASO GETS READY FUR B|G
 EVENTS

4 visit to the city of Fl Paso just now will impress anyone with the fact that the people of that city are leaving nothing undone in the mat ter of preparation for the important events which have been assured f6r the remainder of the pgesent year,
 Roth in Fl Paso aad Juarez, the ely across the border, great prepak ations are rapidly being completed for the coming of President Taft and President Diaz, who are to meet in that city on October 16th. President Diaz has already shipped to Juarez his private carriages and horses which will be used during his visit to the border and for the entertain ment of President Taft. Fl Paso ex- poets that thousands of visitors will be there for this occasion. The Unit ed States is sending three thousand soldiers to Fl Paso and Mexico will have probably more than that, in cluding an artillery regiment and the flower of the Mexican army. The Texas national guard will be there and also the rangers of the state.
 The citizens of Fl Paso say that they are ready and prepared to care for twenty thousand people and pro vide them with appropriate entertain ment.
 The Fl Paso Fair will be held dur ing the first week in November and it is destined to be the greatest af- fair ever held in the southwest. Ex- hibits are coming from the Panhan- dle in Texas and from the dry farm ing sections of New Mexico which will open the eyes of all who see them to the possibilities of dry farm ing in the semi-arid regions of West Texas. New Mexico and Arizona. Special rates will be made by all the railroads reaching Texas, New Next. co and Arizona and the rate from Bisbee and Douglas has been placed very low. which will afford the peo. pie of this section an opportunity to visit Fl Paso for several days.
 The people of Fl Paso are doing a wonderful work in advertising the in. dustrial opportunities of the south. west and they fully recognize that the advancement of the industrial CT. terprises of Arizona is advancing tke opportunities of their own cities. They are not strangers to Arizona and on several occasions have sent their business men on excursions through this section for the purpose of learning more of what they realize is the very best tributary country to Fl Paso.
 This paper recognizes that Bisbee and Douglas and Fl Paso are closely allied commercially and socially and those who go to the Fl Paso fair may be assured in advance that they will be in the home of those whc have the friendliest feeling for this setion of Arizona and of the whole territory.

LAMB IS GUILTY SAYS DOUGLAS
 JURY

DOUGLAS. Oct. ?. Special. )-
 The news that the District Attor- ney was in the city and that the case of the Territory against Ed Lamb on yagrancy charges was to be tried before jury was sufficient to crowd the Justice Court room in the city hall this morning. When the jurors who had been drawn. the witnesses and the spectators were all in the room it was packed to suffocation so the many witnesses were sent to the Marshars office to wait until their testimony should be wanted and the case was called.
 After the reading of the complaint a motion was made by Richardson and Doan, attorneys for the defense for a dismissal of the complaint to which they demurred on the ground that it did not allege facts sufficient to constitute cause of action. After an argument which covered the fra ming and phraseology of the com plaint, the language and punctuation of the statute the court oyerruled the demurrer and held that the com plaint was framed in the language Of the statute.
 From the reading of the complaint 1t developed that the defendant was charged with being a lewd and dis solute person living in and about houses of i'll fame" It was at once seen that thS whole case would hinge upon that word Living" that here was the point difficult to prove and that trequenting would not be sufficient to bring conviction.
 The work of jury getting took un- til 10:45 and during that time E. A. Von Arnim and Ralph Baltzley were peremptorily challenged by the de- fense. By that time it was evident that the case. was to be bitterly fought and that every possible tech nicality would be taken advantage ot by the defense. This became more evident as the examination of wit nesses commenced and the exchang- es between counsel at times became bitter
 Officer Scott New testified to hay ing seen Lamb frequenting the dis trict but it was not established that he lived there from this witness tes- timony. Bob Hilburn followed and his testimony was stronger. Chief Lilies added his weight but had not seen Lamb in the tenderloin so often as the others.
