CHARACTER STUDIES. Monday Aug. 9th,
Miss Marion Wilson of New York will appear
at Memorial Hall under the auspices of the
Universaist Social Aid. An exchange says:
Miss Wilson is known to have created a style
of entertainment distinctly her own,-daring
in originality, artistic and picturesque but of
exceptional educational and moral value as
well. Through the magic of her interpretations
the most commonplace types assume interest
and charm. We catch a glimpse of the real
heart of humanity hidden beneath the masks
of the work a-day world She re- embodies for
US also the people of the Past, or gives flesh
and blood substance to the creations of the
pen In addition to Miss Wilson there will be
local talent on the program. Edward Fletcher
will give piano solo, Miss Marian Wells a
vocal solo, Mr.. Herbert Drinkwater a from
bone solo, and there will be selections by
others.

while the deadly Amanita. the most poisonous

the game was repeated Saturday, July 31st.
under the same auspices and for the same
benefit, the Waldo County Hospital. The
laughable features were eliminated last Satur-
day and the game was close and exciting. The
Battery colony was represented by Rev. George
S. Mills, w. R. Howard and E. S. Pitcher, but
Mr.. Mills was disabled early in the game by
twisting his leg. DR.. E. A. Wilson also sus-
tanned a slight injury. and during the game
there were material changes in the opposing
mines. The doctors ran their score up rapidly
at the beginning, but in the sixth inning the
score was IL to IL and remained until the
lawyers made ruin in the last half of the
ninth inning. The features of the game were
home-run by County Attorney Buzzell of
Searsport and great catch in center field by
E. S. Pitcher fer the lawyers. Mrs. H. H.

 Miss Mary J. Terrell who taught in the Liberty school district five years ago is now teaching the school at the lower crossing of the Agua F'ria. This is the new school house near Joe Corrillos place. Miss Terrell is one of the oldest teachers in Maricopa county. having taught nearly 25 years. She taught in the Osborne district when Perry and George Sears and Riley and Lewis Hedgpeth. now all men with the gray in their hair. were small children. and so young that their Ilothers put bottles of fresh milk in u cir dinner pails when they went to school to Miss Terrell.
 The petition being circulated asking the county supervisors to call an cleo tion for the location of a bridge at the foot of Center street, Phoenix; does not meet the entire approval of citizens of this section. The law making it possi- ble to have a bridge at Center street or Tempe, provided the same means for a bridge across the Agua Fria- it is therefore very likely that the party supporting the Agua Fria bridge will get Buckeyes support.
 Since the consolidation of the Lib erty school districts have been found to be impracticable and impossible the idea of a new house in district No. g is interesting the patrons in a manner that will probably result in the erec- ton of a good building of two rooms and thus enable the district to ade- quately care for its pupils for long time. It has been learned that about $2500 will be sufficient money, and by selling the old house and what can be raised from the donations that have been offered it will be necessary to bond the district for but 5000; some thing of premium should be realized on the bonds

! tiest and most beautiful of fish, come | from the common carp.
 The common type of goldfish are all binoids of the carp tribe, not the true. or colorless. but albinoids The albino of other forms of animal life, whether 1 human or of the lower forms. all run to reds in color, when they have any color at all.
 The red and gold coloring matter of these fish is a mucous deposit in the scales. and does not come from its flesh or blood.
 The goldfish is the smallest mem Der of the carp family. It was brought from China to Europe in 1929, and came to this country early in the nineteenth century.
 It may be said now to be indigenous to American waters. Several years ago a cloudburst washed out a pond in Fairmount park that was filled with them, into the Schuylkill river, and. as they are very prolific, there are millions of them now in that river. In much the same manner the Poto- mac river. near Washington, became stocked with them.
 These fish, however, do not receive any attention from the Aquarium so- ciety, save as they may want to use individual specimens to cross with other breeds. All the fancy breeds originated in China and Japan. It is the theory of the breeders of these fancy fish that the Orientals discov- cred the process of originating the diff ferent species by jarrIng or disturb ing the spawn, and in this manner matching out mOnstrosities. These fish are peculiarly susceptible to hybrid ibation, and their progeny may be continued along the same lines, if watched carefully.
 The patient watching and breeding given them by the Orientals has creat- ed certain forms that may be regard ed as fixed types that have been clas- sified and named.
 one of the most popular is known as the comet" Its fins. as in the case of all fancy breeds. are abnormal Iy developed. Its tail fin is very long and spreading; its back fin long and erect; its pectoral. annal and paired ventral fins long and dropping. Some times the caudal fin is as long as the fish itself.
 The "nymph" type shows this eX- cess of fins to much greater extent Here the fish is bred a hunchback. and as there must be room for its little insides it is provided by a correspond ing curve below so that its body is round. In the nymph the fins are fre- quently double the length of the body.
 one of this species. known as Het- Zelrs silver dollar. was so called be- cause its body was the size and shape of a dollar. while it's fins were sc long that it became tangled up In them and could only roll over and over in the water until the fins would find their proper position.
 The Jap fringe tail is another type much favored. These strange crea- lures have double fins and tails throughout. Yet another popular type

 The Phoenix merchants are evidently overlooking a bet on Buckeye. they are not playing their hands well, and are letting outside parties do most all of the dealing, at least in the light vehicle line. Last Tuesday an agent for an eastern company distributed eight new buggies and carriages and more are to follow. Whats the matter Phoenix? Wake up. advertise in The Republican. get busy, take a day off and come down and see the farmers. you have better goods. as good prices. and can get the trade if you get on to the game.
 If all eyes were the same nearly all public officers would be either graft CTS or clever tacticians. The other day a Buckeye father and son, of school age, were taking dinner in a Phoenix restaurant; presently County School Superintendent A. H. Fulton came in, and characteristically greeted the lad; and forthwith proceeded to make the boy feel important and glad and happy and to put a prayer into his soul. that would be prayed about next election time, by paying for his dinner. Some eyes may read this lit tie wood picture. "a graft for vote" others "tactfulness." following the di- viding line of the two, way out. to where they blend into a beautiful ruse that is the most effective for the al lurement of the kind of cattle that de- posits the elective ballot on election day it amounts to the fine art of pol itics. If the boy is asked who he would like elected next election. don't you imagine about this answer: oh: MT. Fulton, he is all right" And wouldn't you be rather inclined to grant the in nocent prayer that was lent strength by an unconscious nod of the head and a shrug of the shoulders.
 Your correspondent has been asked a great many questions about the cat tie sold to the Hackett Market in Phoenix and advertised to have been feed on cotton seed. There has been no cotton ginned at Arlington where most of it was raised but it was pos sible to have cotton fed" beef as cat tie will eat the cotton and seed If turned into a field before it is picked and get fat on it.
 The well drilling machine belonging to Frank Davis of Phoenix is still in the Liberty section putting down wells. The machine is now on the site of the new creamery west of Liberty where well about SO feet will be drilled. The work is being done by Sam Burris and Fred Levy. Mir. Burris says that he has found two or three persons in this locality who are very set in their be- lief in witchcraft or 'witching for wa ter" as they term it: their notion is that some people possess a super natural power. and are enabled to in- dicate where a well should be put down fin order to obtain an unlimited supply Of the very best water.

.ROUGH VOYAGE OF
 STEAMER GEORGIA
Narrow Escape of Officers From Be-
 ing Eaten by Sharks.

Victoria, B. C., March 25-Listed partly damaged, the steamer Georgia of the Canadian Mexican line reached this port this morning after a rough voyage.
 For five days she rolled from beam to beam in heavy seas. The cargo was light, 800 tons in all, and on Monday this broke loose and shifted, much sheet iron being crumpled up as it banged about. To add to the unpleasantness of the situation. the engines were disabled. Nothing could be done to trim the cargo until the sea went down the following day, when all hands went below, working all day trimming and securing the heavier parts of the cargo.
 Meanwhile the steamer rolled heav- fly. taking seas over her starboard rail. When making a landing at Ma zatlan the purser. A. Pasada, and the steward, W. IT. Simonds, the Mexican customs officer and five boatmen had an awful eXper-ence. hanging to the boat overturned by the surf while sharks swan about. The steward said:
 We were crossing the gap near the lighthouse a mile and a half from from the shore when an extra heavy wind capsized the boat and all of us struggled to it, hanging to the up- turned boat, while to our horror We saw fins splashing about the water indicating the gathering of sharks waiting until we dropped off. The rescue came after nearly an hour. when a boat came from shore in re- sponse to signals from the anchored schooner which had no boat ready to plIt Ollt ''

WASSoN MAKES DENIAL.
Says He Has Said Nothing that Re
 flected on Any Woman.

Huntsville, November 21.-(Specal.)- The Rev. S. E. Wasson, pastor of the First Methodist church, is out in 8 card in the morning Mercury Banner today in which he says: "A slanderous state ment relative to what said in speech at Merrimack Saturday night. November 13, was given publicity and set up as an excuse for declining to permit decent gentlemen to debate with me- at the anti amendment meeting at the court house yesterday The appended affidavits are sufficient to reply to these courteous and honorable filings at my personal and public character"
 ~ Then follows sworn statement in which the minister makes oath that the statement credited to him that any wom- an who Is opposed to the amendment is not virtuous' is utterly and unqualitiedly false, nor could anything he said there be construed into a reflection upon the virtue or integrity of any female.
 Another affidavit sworn to by the Rev. and Mrs. M. w. Mccain, Miss Rose Hines, Mrs. M A. Hall. c. A Marshall, c. A. Brown, M. H. Groves and seven others supports MT. Wasson's affidavit that he did not give utterance to any statement that in the least degree reflected upon the virtue or integrity of any woman; that on the contrary his remarks were chaste, elevating and instructive. Two of the persons who signed the affidavit are John Crabtree and H. G. Cameron, who met the preacher in joint debate at Mer- rimack.
