Yesterday morning a coterie of Miss Sara Mallam's friends gathered at her studio p response to cards for the last of series of morning affairs thoroughly informal in character but as charming as gracious hostess and delightful musi- elan can make them. Over the coffee cups an hour of pleasant chat was inter spersed by musical numbers given in an informal way. Miss Mallam's own sing ing of the Boat Song with an ac- compartment played by Miss Corrie Handley. and several other numbers were deeply enjoyed Somewhat an innovation was the duet sung by Miss Malam with her sister. Mrs. W. L. Sims. Mrs. Sims has sung little of late years but her voice was formerly regarded as a necessary part of musical affairs in Birmingham. A deep, rich contrslto, it is still lovely, though sine has not sung for long time.
 Miss Mallams guests included, among her music-loving friends. Dr. and Mrs. W. E. Evans, Mrs, C. J. Severin Miss Annie Lou Wood. Mrs. s. A. Benton. Miss Lcuise Rushton. Miss Annie Ward.

ARIZONA LOSES
 FAMOUS TRoTTER
Jessie Mckinney Died at the Fair
 grounds.

A post mortem was held yesterday on the trotting mare. Jessie Mckinney which died at the fairgrounds on Sat urday and it was found that death had been caused by a twist of the intes- tines.
 Jessie Mckinney was one of the most valuable horses in the territory and though she had never been given a record she had made mile in 2:O9. She was one of the handsomest horses seen at any of the territorial fairs and was the cleanest trotter of them all.
 She was the property of Col w. c. Greene who bought her of J. C. Ad- ams five years ago though MT. Adams had leased her since and had her in training with the horses of his own string in preparation for the circuits of the next season. She was nine years old.

Making oHer the Fastener

The New York Sun. which enjoys poking fun at the provincialism of the people of New York City, and especially the provincialism of the typical New Englander, makes this humorous comment on statement recently made by Governor Sloan:
 The governor of Arizona tells us, as many Arizonians have done before him:
 It is safe to say there is a larger number of college graduates in Ari- zona iH proportion to the population than in any other state or territory in the union
 Yet Arizona thrives. The college graduate is usually improved by transportation. If he be of the east, he changes his mind as well as his sky. How many a prig, pedant or snob can. we recall, justly hated in the eastern puppy stage, who in the west has acquired humanity, a feel ing of good fellowship. a spirit of civic helpfulness and of private friendliness- Yes. even a large com municative, Occidental self -satisfac- tion, entirely different from and much more foygivable than the unsocial, sil- ent vanity of the customer born of line of customers"
 Arizona welcomes with open arms not only the college graduate but the most pendantic of New England's pro- ducts Not all of them, by any means. are prigs, pedants or snobs when they come, even from the view point of the provincial westerner. sBut it must be confessed that some of them do need a little schooling in the broad life of the west before they measure up to western requirements. It is evidence of the real Ameri- canism of the man of New England and the man of New York and other eastern states, that he is not here long before he is a typical Arizona man in his views, and he is apt to become-for awhile-one of the most sarcastic in dealing with the narrow ness and lack of vision of his old neighbors. He would scorn the thought of leaving Arizona to live again in his former environment
 The real melting pot for men of all lands is Arizona. The fused product is courageous American, broadly charitable and tolerant, cos mopolitan in thought. full of the spirit of achievement. and looking with level eyes into the faces of all mankind

THIRD AVENUE.

The Third Avenue theater yesterday maintained the fine showing made at its opening. Saturday night An af- ternoon performance was presented to surprisingly large audience for Sum- day afternoon.
 At the first show in the evening people again had to be turned away, and there was a very nicely filled house for the second performance. The program is d lively one, all fun and rollicking sport except the novelty of Sleepy Tom. the educated horse, and the pictures and illustrated songs. The pictures are not as good as they will be shortly after the arrival of new attachments for the machinery, which at present is bit faulty. but the best that could be secured under the cir cumstances. but the new parts are expected in day or so.
 The colored stunts. coon dances, mirth and frolics. always interest, as does Baby Jewell and the various other features that make up a bill an hour and a half long. at popular prices

WHERE LOVE IS

Ie is in a maiden's sigh, As she bids fond good-by4
 To her soldier lover; It is in oaby's word, Sweetest, dearest ever heard,
 When he first says Muvver." It is in a thought of home, When in distant lanGs we roam,
 Wooing lleeting pleasure; It is in a mothers heart, When her loved ones from her part, Seeking fame or treasure. It is in boys first kiss Granted him ty some sweet miss,
 As a simple matter: It is in that sound so sweet, Made by little children's feet
 As they batter. batter. It is in warm clasp of hand Wearing little golden band,
 Loves most sacred token; It is in a glance-a look, Plainly writ as in a book;
 Or a word that's spoken. It is in the warmth of spring, In the song the birds all sing,
 And in blooming flowers; It is in the gentle breeze. Waiting from the southern seas,
 Welcome April showers. It is in the laughing eyes, Deep and blue as heavens skies,
 When Loves torch is lighted; It is in the smiling face, Of the bride in filmy lace.
 When her vows are plighted It is in a touch-a tear, In a smile of friendly cheer
 For some soul in sorrow: It is in the darkest hour, And sustains by unseen pow'r
 Him who knows no morrow.

The announcement that the Royal Geographical Society of Copenhagen is. fitting out an expedition to ex- plore the countries round the Per sian gulf will surprise many who imagine that there is little of the earth outside the polar regions which now needs exploring. As matter of fact. the interior of the great Arabian peninsula is still waiting to be dis covered, and not even the poles offer such almost unsurmountable obsta- cles to those who seek them as the unknown land lying around the Per sian gulf. Some portions are, doubt less. as void of human beings as the frozen apexes of the earth and will probably always remain so. for the heat experienced there is fatal to al- most all life.
