HANDKERCHIEF BAZAAR A PRONOUNCED SUCCESS
OVER TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS
 CLEARED
The Attendance Was Good and Nearly
 Everything Was Sold.

The handkerchief bazaar at the Goodwin Opera house Friday evening, given by the ladies of the Episcopal church, surpassed in many ways, any thing of the kind that has ever be- fore been attempted here. The ladies began planning and advertising the event a couple of months ago and kept up their hard work until the last moment. The result justified all the energy that had been expended, however, for it was a pronounced success in every respect.
 The bazaar consisted of |. several different features. There were vari- ous booths, at one of which a Span ish supper was served. This began at five o'clock and early in the eve ming, the entire supply of food had been exhausted. At another booth tea was served by dainty little Jap anese girls, and the purchaser Of a cup of tea, also retained the cup and saucer in which it was served. At other booths candy was sold and handkerchiefs. The supply was near ly all sold out for the attendance was remarkably good. In all. little over two hundred dollars was cleared, and what is left will be disposed of at auction at a later date.
 In addition to the above mentioned points of attraction, a fortune teller in the person of Miss Fernandez, did a thriving business, and dispensed ad- vanced information at ten cents per. During the evening an excellent mu- sical program was rendered and the bazaar as a whole will be an affair that will finger long in the memory of Tempe people.

What Would Lincoln?

For instance, what would
Abraham Lincoln have done in
like circumstances? During the
civil war, when he was undergo
ing the fortunes of anxiety, con-
corning the outcome of that great
conflict, he was the target for the
abuse of certain newspapers. He
bore the attacks with patience.
Once he told a caller that he well
coined any helpful criticism which
might throw light on the dark
prospect of saving the Union.
AS usual, sit reminded" him of a
story.
A belated traveller was over
taken in a storm. The night was
pitch dark. The rain fell ntor-
rents, the thunder roared and the
Tightening flashed. AS he went
on it seemed to him that the
thunder increased in volume and
that the flashes of tightening grew
fainter. Falling upon his knees,
he excl aimed, "oh Lord, if it is
all the same to you, give me, I
pray you, a little less noise and q
little more light"
In the controversies between the
President and his detractors
there Is too much noise and too
little light. --Bostos Globe.

Will Give Better Service.

New York, Nov. 16-President s. N. Vail of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company had the fol. lowing to say:
 From the very commencement of the telephoHe business it has been thought that a close corporation- -the making of one business--the auxiliary to the other business--would give ad. ditiunal public service as well as re- suits in large economies, both to the public and to the companies.
 There is much to be gained by the joint construction and maintenance Of plant and by its common use to the greatest possible extent, but the great est advantage would follow the plac- ing of millions of telephone subscrib- CTS in close and reliable connection with the receiving and dispatching of. fees of the telegraph companies. While some provision for this, after manner, exists today, lack of har. mony and cooperation between the companies and an inability to agree on methods of fixing responsibility. has limited in it's utilization to cases of absolute necessity. The harmony and cooperation necessary, it is be- lieved, can now be established and the qtesulting advantage made available for the public.

WIRE TRUST
 ORGANIZED WESTERN UNION JOINS FORCES WITH LoNeNDlsTANcE TELE- PHONE IN SCHEME. Pool Is Made of the Gigantic corpor- ations Which Will Result in For nation of Billion Dollar
 Company.

Bost n, Nov 16.-A long stride to- ward the complete control by the cor poration of all wire communication in the United States was made today in the acquisition by the American Tele- phone and Telegraph Company of the control of the Western Union Com pany.
 In order to make the absorption complete, the incorporation of new billion dollar company, it is said, will be necessary to include the $592,- 475,000 bonds and stock of the Ameri- can Telephone and Telegraph Com pany, known as the Bell company, and the outstanding sl65,0OO.OOO bonds and stock of the Western Union.
 The acquisition pf the necessary stock and voting rights of the West ern Union by the Bell has been in progress for about six months.
 The work has been conducted quiet ly and only sufficient amount to in, sure control, said to be 5f per cent, was taken over.
 The officers of the Bell company be- lieye the merger will save the Bell company $75.0000O0 in new construc- ton, while it will also enable the utit ization at the same time of wires for both telegraphing and telephoning. The history of the Western Union dates back to before the Civil War, but the Bell company is of compara- lively recent origin
 Some of the associated corporations the majority of whose stock rests in the treasury of the parent concern, are:
 New York Telephone Company, s50,- 100000; New England Telephone and Telegraph Company. s31.000,OOO; Bell Telephone Company. of Pennsylvania, s31 ,150.000; New York and New Jer- sey Telephone Company, s25,4OO,000; Southern Bell Telephone Company,  s21, 100000; Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph Company, s1S,000,000; Chicago Telephone Company. s17,50O,- GOO; Western Telephone and Tele- graph Company, $16000.O0O; Bell Tel 1 ephone Company of Canada, $12,5OO,- GOO.
 The telephone system annually transmits 5.956,S0O,000 messages, while the Western Union handles 69.- 053,000. The telephone system has 8,09S,679 miles of wire and the West ern Union. 1,3S2.509. The total prop erty value of the telephpne company is $545,045,60o and that of the Vest ern Union s124.0S6,920.
