body, rendered him light-headed. He

thing silly or strange. On being reas-
sured upon this, he would relax again,
and, as likely as not, break into a
babyish wall over his aches and pains.

 Company, April 1.

Phoenix is soon to have new musical comedy company. The Grand thcater is to open April 1st, and the initial attraction will be the Orpheum musical comedy company. Mir. c. A. Walker. business manager of the com pany, is in the city at present mak- ing arrangements for the summer sea son at the Grand In replying to a question in regards to the outlook for summer attractions in Phoenix. Mir Walker said: Tt looks good to me. The theaters are all doing q fine business at present, and I do not see why the prosperity should not con- tinue. l believe that the managers of the different theaters and attractions are doing their level best to give their patrons all that they can for the money. and the financial success of the different houses shows that they are delivering the goods. am going to try and do the same. l do not want to bill my attraction as the biggest or best company that will visit your city this summer. It may look good to me. especially as every one of the past forty-two weeks have been successful ones. but I will leave the verdict to Phoenix theater- goers"
 The Grand will be under the man agement of J. Lewis Scott. The house is being thoroughly renovated and re- modelled. Lovers of amusement will be pleased to hear that this popular theater will open again For sum- mer run.

ONLY TWO DAYS MORE
 THEN EASTER IS HERE
In the Meantime There Are Those Arizona Easter Ostrich Fumes
 at BsIke's Big Curio Store.

Those Wh" neglect to buy Arizona Easter ostrich plumes within the next two days will be too lat" for this ~c.sou They will sls" be too late to buy them for any season at tn" special price at which they are now offered by BaIkc's Rig Curiu Store. There has been q heavy run on the plumcs within the last two weeks. and many mail orders have been re- cciVCd from persons who bought plumcs under the Christmas offer. It had been demonstrated to them that the claim of the Big CUrio Store that it could save it's customers at least one third of the purchase price was true.
 There are some odd sizes left. and in order to close them out special discount is made. This offer is good only until the store closes on Satur- day night
 There has been not only a heavy run on the plumes lately. but many have called and expressed their ad- miration of them, saying that they would call again before the close of the Easter season. They have now only two days left
 l. should be remembered that these plumcs are guaranteed not only as to quality. but also as to price. Back of this guaranty is the mOney-back offer.
 lt is hardly necessary to state that the ostrich plume sale is not being conducted for a profit Everybody familiar with the subject knows that

The Pacific low pressure area is moving very slowly eastward across the Lake Superior region and On tario, with slightly decreased energy. It has caused light precipitation over the upper Missouri valley, Idaho and northern Nevada, and appears as a dry storm center over the lake re zion. The central Pacific high pres sure area has entered northern Cali fornia, Idaho, oregon and Washing ton. The accompanying cold wave has caused q further reduction in tenn peraturc of to 14 degrees over the Rocky Mountain region. the Arkansas and Missouri valleys. The eastern high pressure areas are about to unite into one general high pressure area along the Atlantic coast. A deprcs- sion of feeble intensity is forming over New Mexico and northern Texas.

A little sfat zob, which stands a mile awayAfrom the plate and wields a 10 foot gpole did it; little fat boob which lhangs around the middle station just pulled up Miller's hit over second base in the ninth inning and threw that player out at first. If that throw had been a fraction of an inch out of the way, or a half second too late, Miller would have been safe, \and Ladd would have scored, what would have been the tieing run. The Mechanics can trace back that 2-1 defeat at Waterbury yesterday to Chaubby Connaughton, the chesty captain of the Finnegans. Conny was on with a two decker in the fifth when two Finnegans were resting on third and second, shooing them home, for the only two Finne- gan runs of the game, yet one more than enough to win, as the Speed Boys garned but one tally from San dy'' BanniSter.
 Too bad there were not more Hi Ladd's on the team. The old scout just walked to that old plate four times and each time sent out a safe welt. On his first and last appear ance he obliged with two deckers. Skipper" Eley walked into two safe drives, onei a beat out to first base.
 "Chalky'' Clunn is fast earning the title of the hard luck pitcher of the league. The blonde one manages to be stingy with his hits, but his oppon- get them aN in one inning. Such was the casesyesterday. and has been his lot many times previous this sea- son. "Cha1ky" allowed only five hits the fifth inning along with a sacri- fee, proving his 'undoing. By the win the Finnegans again shoot into the lead, Bridgeport having to be con- tent with second place for while.
 To pry open the fifth inning, Ladd singled into center, going up to sec end when Stowe poled one sacker into left. Ladd was out at third on Chief Miller's pick up of Dory Mill Ier's attempted sacrifice, and a heave to Hoover. While Bannister was try ing to pick up Pat McAuley's tap in front of the plate. Stowe and Miller moved up a peg, McAuley being safe at first Clunn hit hard to Con- naushton. Stowe dashing home.

Connaughton just stepped into one of Clunn's choice offerings, the ball sailing unto the left center fence. It was just too far out of the reach of Joe Kustus, and went for two bases. Hoover and Mcdonald chatter ing home.
 The Mechanics had a great chance the Finnegan felders when he laid down a bunt along the third base line. Hoover waited for the tap to roll foul, but his wait was in vain. Bannister famed Stowe. Miller's bouncer at Rodgers took bad bound as it neared that player, and bounced out of his hands into the outleld, Ladd going on to third. Old top Mc- Auley almost outgeneraled the Finne- gans when he laid down bunt, with the squeeze play in sight, but the tap was not as pretty as it might be, going straight to Bannister, Ladd be- ing an easy out. There were still two on when Clunn whiffed.
 Ladd doubled to the center field fence, moving up to third on Stoves out second to first.

Used In Jehore Because of a Malay
 Superstition.
 In Johore. oD the Malay peninsula, there is employed one of the strangest languages in the world. used for a most curious. purpose. This tongue is called Pantang Kapor or "camphor language, and is=a medium employed by natives and others engaged in gath ering the product ef the Malayan cam work. >i
 It is a superstition of these natives that should they use the language of the district. the Malay or the aboriginal Jakun. they would be unable to obtain their camphor
 The Malay natives firmly believe that each species of tree has spirit or guardian angel that presides over its affairs. this spirit being known by the name of Bisan. This divinity's resting place is near the trees. Then. too, the spirit of the camphor tree is held to be extremely jealous of the precious gum. so that it becomes necessary to propi- tiate her. iHasmuch as she would. should she learn that hunters were in quest of it, endeavor to interpose ob- stacles to their mission Accordingly the natives speak in tongue that the tree spirit may not understand. It was for this purpose that the mysterious ''camphor language" was invented. and it consists of an odd mixture of Jakun and Malay words thar have been cu- riously altered and reversed.-Harpers Weekly.

Northa mpton, June 20.-William's huff of Snyder's easy fly in the fifth inning was very costly here Satur- day, as it allowed Kocher, who had previously doubled to score the only run of the game with the Mechanics, which was a pitchers duel between Chief Snyder and Will Temple, the hurler obtained from the New York Giants, who pitched his first game for the Larks. Temple had everything the Mechanics getting to him for but half dozen hits, half of that num- Der by Joe Kustus, who has found his batting eye Two of Kustus' drives were for extra bases.

New Britain and Waterbury each took one and Northampton two from McCann's Happy Family. while the Speed Boys were there with the goods in three games with Holyoke and one with Northampton. For the third Satur- day in succession, the Mechanics end ed up the week in first place, going into that position by winning from Northampton on Saturday while Wa terbury was losing a game to Hol- yoke.

 Bridgeport made a record for the Connecticut League during the past week when they played three errorless games. This is quite remarkable for the club. for up to the first of the trio, the Mechanics had only played two perfectly fielding contests.

 Clunn had caught Rodgers off first base in the third. and he was run down by Hall and Crooks. In the throwing bee which followed Crooks worked in bum heave. which skidded along the ground impossible for Jimmy Hall to meet with.
