MOTOR COMPANY
 INsTRUCTs EMP[OYEs
A Unique School for the Study of Automobiles.

In order to help it's ambitious em | ployes, to increase the efficiency of 'ti factory organization, and hence i'm | prove it's product and its service to it! patrons, the Chalmers Detroit Motol company of Detroit, Mich, has organ ized a school for employees. The schoe is for the purpose of helping the mel study the general principles of motor l cars and their application in the fac tory.
 The classes meet for an hour after work. At the head of the school is 6 member of the engineering department
 In addition to the regular lectures by the instructors from the engineer ing department, the classes are often addressed by some official of the com pany, or by some well known man from the outside who is an authority on some special line connected with the automobile industry.
 President Hugh Chalmers and other officers are regular attendants at the school, thereby encouraging the men to Keep up their work and enthusiasm. At the opening session of one of the classes Mir. Chalmers said:
 Satisfied owners are the greatest asset any automobile company can have. It is impossible for a company to prosper very long unless it can sat isfy the people who buy its cars. Sat isfied owners, first of all, depend upon the merit of the product The merit of the product depends, to a large eX- tent, upon the efficiency of the men concerned in its manufacture.
 Tt is the ambition of this company to have nothing but satisfied owners. We are determined that every man who buys a Chalmers Detroit car shall have cause to feel satisfied with it. The object of this school is to help employees increase their efficiency and knowledge of the automobile business so they can help us to refine and i'm prove our product.
 We want all of you to learn all that you possibly can concerning our cars and about the theory of automo- bile construction generally. All of you know that knowledge is power This company intends to expand Expan- sion means that We shall need a larger force. and that We will have important positions to fill. We will have to have more heads of departments. and we want to get men for these places right here in our own plant if we possibly can
 We have opened this school to help you men qualify for such positions. The object of this school is to in crease the efficiency of our force so that We will have an organization of men that do things intelligently. and know what they are doing at all times As We grow we want our men to grow with us"

plaintiff. attorney for the plaintiff and chief witness. The spectacle of plaintiff or defendant acting as his own attorney is of course nothing un- common, but to hear MT Stevens as counsel in behalf of himself of himself as plaintiff, putting questions to him self as a witness and then answering himself, was something entirely new. He even put questions in his capacity as attorney to himself as witness which he couldn't answer in any capacity, and then asked himself as to whether he could refresh his mind by reference to documents, and told himself that he could When it came to a question as to when Witness Stevens had seen a certain man, the following conversa- ton ensued on the part of the lawyer in his various identities:
 "On what day did you see him?'
 'I don't recall the exact date"
 Have you any memorandum that will refresh your memory"
 "I have"
 will you produce it?" inquired Law yer Stevens.
 T will" promptly replied Witness Stevens, as he took from his pocket certain papers.
 Are those the memoranda" asked the lawyer. He then answered yes"
 with those notes before you can you refresh your memory as to the date?"
 T can"
 And so the examination proceeded for some time. The three in one com bination seemed to be highly pleased with the results of it's triple capacity with one exception. That occurred l when through Lawyer Stevens, Wit | ness Stevens demanded payment of a witness fee from Plaintiff Stevens. | The matter was finally settled by | Stevens as plaintiff giving a cigar | to himself, in his legal capacity, which l he again turned over to himself as a | witness.

PERFORMANCE
 OF STREETER-BRYAN CD
"Woman Against Woman" at the
 Third Avenue Theater Last Night.

Woman Against Woman" was the theater last night, and to theatergoers was simply a new name for an old play. However, it was well received by the large audience who gathered to witness the farewell performance of the Streeter- Bryan company The company has been in Phoenix for close to fifteen weeks, and during that time have made many friends They have given two bills each week and great variety of plays. Proba- bly, among the best of them was Two Men" by the local playwright, MT. Frankstone. This presentation showed the amount of work and care put on it and was correct in so many of the small details which are ire quently missed in the usual stock companies. Christopher, Jr" was another well-staged play, as was Grit the Newsboy" Some of their work has not been so good, but no company can be expected to do every thing well. Then, too, some of the plays did not allow the actors to do their best work; but, taking every thing into consideration, they have been a very satisfactory drawing card for the Third Avenue theater. They will rest in Phoenix the early part of the week and will play two nights in Mesa before starting on their trip to Seattle, Wash, where they play next. Within the next few days Managers Myers and Jac- quith of the Third Avenue will pre- sent to the Phoenix public an up-to- date musical comedy. The company comes highly recommended and will undoubtedly be a big attraction. The exact date of their appearance is not definitely settled, but it will be very soon

tion were fartunate, moreover, in hay
 ing for their first novel a work so free
 from sensationalism, So eminentiy sane
 and, if biased, at least logical in it's bias In writing Priests of Progress the author seems to have been at great
 pains to secure reliable information, for in an appendix of some length she gives citations from various medical journals corrobOrating the main facts and statements of the novel. She was fortunate to secure the help of several well-known physicians; the result is a work of great interest, setting forth the case against vivisectiOn with an earnestness, power and vi*idness which is on the whole convincing and is like ly to win it many converts. The book describes the career of one Sidney Gale, who enters the medical profes
 sion as an enthusiastic believer in or thodox methods, and forms an attach ment to a girl-the heroine of the story whose father is a well-known psy
 chologist, and champion of the vivi- sectionists. Sidney's own hospital eX- periences disturb his mental balance. and for some time he remains unde- cided but at length professional esprit de corps, and his respect for the father of the woman he loves, prove too strong for him, and he declares for vivisection. The heroine's faith is also sorely shaken by the narrowing experi- ences of treatment accorded to patients by surgeons who are practicers of vi visection but she also eventually mar ries a scientist, though without deep at ar,t inNrn lid child, and the heroine is drawn closer to her husband and her belief in vivi- section becomes a passion, owing to her husbands impotent endeavors, by means of vivisectional experiment, to find a cure for the child's disease. through an accident she witnesses an experiment performed by her husband; the child dies; and later the husband suffers a tragic death, due to the ac- tion of the Pasteur serum this is talk en from well authenticated caSes.) Sid ney has by this time, once and for all, thrown in his lot with the anti-vivisec- tionists, sacrificing fame and success to conviction. The gradual change which takes place in his mind is one of the finest studies in the book. In contrast with Gales career is that of Edgar Hall. who, pursuing the ortho- dox lines of medical scientific research, reaches the pinnacle of eminence. The book, though frankly polemic, re- mains a well written and interesting novel, and, whatever ones conviction, is well worth reading. It is published by B. w. Dodge & Company. Price, $50.

 The King of Arcadia" a new novel by Francis Lynde. will be brought out some time during February MT Lynde is deservedly prominent among those of our American authors whose fiction marries romance of the most romantic order with the most thor oughgoing realism. The field par ex- cellence for this particularly Ameri- can literary variety is the great west with its pioneer and frontier admix- ture of civilization and adventure, and the scene of Mir. Lynde's latest TO- nance is appropriately laid among the rude realities of the Rockies In this land of ranches and cowboys and railroad builders and irrigation en- gineering, it's desert spaces and enor- nous distances and lofty mountains and wild grandeurs, the King of Ar cadia, an elderly Kentuckian of the ultra -patrician order, has established an Aladdin's castle of luxury in an oasis that he had made to blossom as the rose. A vast irrigating scheme, conceived and promoted by eastern capitalists. involves the destruction of this garden. Hence an active feud of which the incidents form the sub stance of MT. Lynde's story. The hero is the company's chief engineer, the heroine the princess of Castle 'Cadia. Between the company's em- ployes and the royal henchmen there Is. of course. the worst of bad blood, and the herO's three predecessors have met with violent and mysterious deaths. With this setting the piece proceeds rapidly through a succession of exciting episodes to a happy and highly ingenious conclusion, constitut- ing at once a stirring story and a picture of a phase of American life that has a value matching it's inter est. The novel is finely illustrated by F. B. Masters, who has caught the spirit of the story and the character of the actors in it with great sue cess. Price s1.5O.

While honesty may be the best pol icy. Father Knickerbocker has just recorded indubitable proof that it is sometimes an expensive policy. so far as municipal affairs are concerned. The present illustration while only on a small scale indicates in start ling manner what the cost of similar honesty might be in a transaction of any size At any rate the city has just refunded an overcharge of twenty cents after five years labor involving many departments, at a cost of just one hundred times the amount in- volved. The whole transaction, which bids fair to become a part of muni- cipal history. had it's origin in noth
 ing more extraordinary than an as
 sessment for special improvements on certain property. A clerk with a meticulous mind in the assessors of flee discovered nearly a year after the whole matter was completed and closed that one of the assessed prop erty owners, a woman, had been over charged by the sum of twenty cents. When the matter was called to her attention, she asserted her willing ness, amounting to anxiety, to pre- sent the city with the sum in ques- ton. This, however, did not comport with Father Knickerbocker's reputa- tion for honesty and consequently this week. after five years of labor to ac- complish the result, check for twenty cents was placed in her hands. To arrive at this conclusion the clerks in nine departments had been aa1la6 mt cprx-iCa al Uarin1IG times and one hundred and sixty seven let ters and communications had been written, making the total cost of the minute refund, aside from the loss of time more than twenty dollars.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Green Cananea Copper stock was easily
the first in point Of interest at the meeting
today Of the stock exchange. While 1t
did not figure largely in the transactions.
as only some 400 shares were sold, yet the
levels reached point and a half above
the best selling price of yesterday. and
gave the few transactions a prominence
, that they would not otherwise have re-
ceived.
No one was surprised. when the stock
was called that the first bid was a. an
entire point better than the best selling
price Of the preceding day, for in the New
York curb market today it was known be-
fore the exchange met that the stock had
sold today as high as 14ss. The actual
quotations at noon were IAN bid and 14as
asked.
Here the bid. starting at a. ran rapidly
up to 1411. when a sale was made, and
then the bid was an eighth Of a point
lower. The balance Of the sales were
not exhausted. so that at the close the
bid was 14A and the asking price 14A.
1t was remarked that the closing
quotations We're the same as those Of
had scared skyward in company with
practically the entire copper list. AS
there is only one other copper stock
listed here. and as that happens to
be Mitchell. which has not as yet been
revived by any scheme of financing
that has thus far been proposed. 1t
happened that Greene was the only
stock that took part in the general
movement.
The explanation given of this sud-
den appreciation in the value Of cop
per stocks u.s. as has been stated pre-
viously. several times in this column,
the expectation that the big copper in
terests are planning a merger Of vari-
Gus companies. Exactly what COM
panies are to be included has not as
yet been stated, but, as usual at such
times. the street" has taken for grant
ed that 1t will be a good thing for all
the coppers and in consequence they
have all been given a boost.
Some attention was called to the sale
OF three of the bonds Of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company,
because Of the prices paid. which were
on range of from SIN to S7k. Sucn
figures are low for this security, which
short time ago was selling at 80.
There seems to be no explanation of
the decline.
The stocks of the company continue
about on the level, where they have
been for some days past, SO that they
do not appear to share in whatever Is
affecting the price of the bonds.
