NEW YEAR AUDIENCE
 SEES "BAGOAD" PLAYED

The Girl From Bagdad" was re- peated last night at the Orpheum be fore a good-sized and appreciative au- dieaco and was voted the funniest production that ever came to this city. W. B. Friedlander is certainly clever. This Is his latest musical success and proves him to be one of the brightest composers as well as one of the lead ing comedians. The play has proved a great hit and the company is one of the best which has ever come to this city.
 The musical numbers gre all eX- ceptionally good and were the sub iects of repeated encores. The chorus is particularly good. and the costumes are altogether attractive. It is quite unusual to find so many pretty girls who give evidence of hard study and ability The dancing is graceful and pleasing
 'The Man Behind will be the offer ing to night, and will doubles be one of the funniest even seen. To see this company and these plays at tae prices is decidedly a good investment

LEAP YEAR SOCIAL.

An informal leap year social given at JiggerviIle Wednesday evening was one of the first and will doubtless be remembered as one of the most thor Oughly enjoyable events of the 1908 holiday season. The social was at tended by a score or more of resi- dents from Bisbee and Jiggerville, it's thriving suburb. It being a leap year party the ladies present took the priv ilege of choosing their own company, and strange as it may seem, though doubtless adding much to the pleas uTe of all. not one of the husbands present was selected by his life part her, and all the married couples pres ent seemed to derive exquisite pleas ure in being paired with some one else The music was excellent and an interesting program was rendered. The host and hostess. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth R. DOualdsOn, gave every one present a cordial evening of pleasure.

 In speaking of the conditions of Douglas, Mayor Green expressed him self generally pleased with affairs in the Shelter City. and says that it will be on the upgrade. "Of cour ss we nave passed through a period oI tight times which have been felt generally and We have not had the general ac- tiyity in business which we have been used to in the past. But everything seems to be coming up and the stir of railroad building has given a new i'm petus 10 commercial business affairs and there is no doubt that the coming year will be one of the best iu the history in the City Of Douglas
 One of the resources which nave been cut off for some time past has been the mining activity south of the international line. This is beginning Co resume once more. With the clear ing up of financial affairs and the sat isfactory disposition of the Yaqui question, we feel that Sonora will see greater activity than ever before. This will also aelp Douglas material ly Is we are one of the principle sup ply points along the line

HON. MIKE CASSIDY
 IN \ NEW ROLE
Department Orders Him To Teach School Children How
 To Address Letters.

Because there were over l3,099. .000 letters sent to the dead letter office the past year, Postmaster General Meyer, has issued au order that all postmasters in the country shal! either deliver lectures to. or other wise furnish information for school children on now to address letter rightly, and also, in relation to other details of the postal service.
 It is the postmaster generals de- termination that the school children shall be instructed along this line Of knowledge on the postal service, In seeing that letters are properly ana plainly addressed That there is necessity for this kind of action Is shown by the volume Of business transacted by the dead letter office. During the past year 13,145,1a2 pieces of mail matter were sent to the dead letter office because the postoff1ces were unable to read them-
 There is no way for the man 70 escape who presides over the destinies of millions of letter which annually ! go through this office. unless it be the order which the Associated Press dis
 patches carry. providing that the in
 formation may be furnished to the
 school teachers and thereby fulfill th'
 ideas of the postmaster general.
 It win be of interest to see the Ter rible Mike" in motion on this timen and absorbing topic, and 1t is to b' ! hoped that a liberal number of hil friends will avail themselves Of th' opportunity of hearing this eloqusn
 address.
