Basket Ball Girls . Pleased Big Crowd
With Two Good Plays at the New Normal Auditorium, Friday Evening.

The two plays given by the girls of the normal basket ball association at the new normal auditorium Friday evening made one of the interesting and entertaining performances given by the students in long time It was the first opportunity that had been of fered for the use of the new building for plan put on by the students alone and the many advantages of the new auditorium were made more emphatic. The steating capacity of the building is abundantly large and the beauty of it is that there Is little choice of seats. Wherever one may happen to be. the view of the stage is perfect and even in the far back of the auditorium all conversation on the stage may be heard without difficulty.
 There was a fine attendance Fri day evening, notwithstanding the fact that d great many spent the afternoon in Phoenix at the aviation meet. and all who were present were well re- paid for their trouble.
 The first play was a farce in one act entitled The Top Landing" The scene was a parlor in Mrs. Thirdfloor's boarding house and some very laugh able situations developed during the progress of the farce. The cast of characters was as follows:
 Jack Travers. an artist. Dan Christy Billy Cross. "Veritas." a dramatic
 author ..............-G George Brown Mir. Timothy Always. manager of the
 Criterion ........ Kenneth Johnston Mrs. Arabella Thirdfloor ...
 Georgia Wilcox Hester Heartsease,a niece If Mrs.
 Thirdfloor ........ Mabel Webb Rosy Winsome, niece of Mrs.
 Thirdfloor ... Marjorie Leavell
 The second play. His Model Wife" was a comedy in one act. With all due regard to the excellent work of those participating in the first play. it must be said that of the two the sec ond was much the better. It offered better opportunities for good work than did the other one. and not one of these opportunities was overlooked.
 The scene of this play was in Arthur Everetts studio on the top floor of an apartment house. The stage in this scene was prepared with much care and appeared to excellent advantage. While all participating did most cred itable work, John Lynch. as Robert Parks. was especially good

Normal Player Guilty
 of Petit Larceny
Basis of Charge a Difference of opin. ion As to the Commercial Value ef Certain Oranges Abstraoted From an Orchard by Leonard Dykes.

Leonard Dykes. highly valued and estimable one-ninth of the Tempe Normal baseball team, made an un- fortunate error in Judgment yesterday concerning some oranges hanging in all their golden attractiveness from the trees of the Artemus Millett grove He believed they were frost bitten worthless. and good only for throw ing at telephone poles. Mir. MiIlett considered them not frost-bitten. but very marketable and very desirable especially from the standpoint of one Artemus Millett. While full of that opinion. then, he happened to see young Dykes pulling several of the yellow globes and sharing them with the occupants of a wagon along the roadside. which said wagon held number of Normal players and their friends returning from the game with the Evans school MT. Millett there upon made haste to Justice Irwin. swore to complaint against Dykes, charging him with petty larceny. and the young man was arrested by Con- stable Burton just as he was on the point of taking the noon train back to Tempe
 When the baseball player was brought back from the station and presented before Justice Irwin. he said that he had supposed all the oranges to be frost-bitten. and of no value to their owner. inasmuch as

After Hard Fight
 The Baby Succumbed
Scarlet Fever Wins Third Victory
 Over Infants cf Mesa.

About 1880 o'clock Friday evening tn, hard fought contest ended which Mary Drahe, the little daughter of Dr and Mfrs. braiie, had been waaine for her life. Scarlet fetef, always a foe to infant huinafis. was the victor and the Dranc baby was it's third con- quest in Mesa within the past few weeks.
 Possibly this particular case might not have attraced SO much public at tention and newspaper mention as has been accorded it had it not been for the fierce struggle between the very big disease and the very small but cumulative body Of the baby. When the little girl had rallied back once or twice from death and the papers and the public began to see that a contest royal was being fought out the entire community manifested an intense interest in the silent battle and a perfect flood of inquiries was received every day. All along the streets and in the stores everyone asked his neighbor how the Drane baby was getting along. And as the days passed and the baby almost ultu anu dlfHDSt FttONc cItu anu dlinOSl died again and again. the public in- terest quickened until even the sea- soned newspaper men were surprised to see that the fight for life of one small baby was attracting more at tention locally than would the death battle of many a well-known and prominent man.
 Dr. Win Wylie of Phoenix. Dr. Moeur of Tempe and Dr. Nelson of Mesa all helped the physician-father in his efforts to save his little daugh- ter. but the only really important fac tor favoring recovery seemed to be the baby's phenomenal constitution. When that was finally worn out, the baby died.
 Yesterday messages of inquiry and condolence were received from many friends of the family. not only in Mesa, but also in Phoenix and Tempe. The funeral was held at o'clock in the afternoon from the family resi- dence The service was performed by Rev. J. w. Atwood. rector of the Trinity Episcopal church in Phoenix. in the absence of Rev. X. L. Hawley. Interment was made in the local cem- eterv.

CRITICISM OF
 \ FEAT" STORY

We were criticised for telling fat people to tender" scvcnty-fi|e cents to their druggists for 8 large case Of Marmola Tablets. Several wrote in saving the use of the word tender" was incorrect that tender in such connection raised the impression the druggist might refuse seventy-five cents as insufficient.
 Now. isn't that odd? A few weeks ago seventv-five cents was rendered" to d Broadway druggist and he did re- fuse it. That is, he said he had no Marmola Tablets. whereas he did have seven cases. But the wholesale house was closed. it being on Saturday. and he had to prevaricate to protect his regular customers. who absorbed those seven cases later in the day.
 This elegant pharmaceutical adapta- ton of that famous. fashionable fat re- ducer. the Marmola Prescription (viz.. F oz. Marmola. F oz. IT. Ex. Cascara Aromatic. 31h oz. Peppermint Water), is certainly having remarkable vogue. Millions of cases of tablets are sold yearly and their fame grows. This is doubtless because of their harinlessness fguaranteed by the Marmola Co. e1S Farmer Bldg. Detroit, Mich.). and sure ability to remove ten to sixteen ounces convenience bother. need for exercis- ing or interference with the takers sp- petite for good things.

Lincoln's Birthday
 But Little Observed
Most of the Business Houses Were
 Open as Usual Yesterday.


 Lincoln's birthday. which since a year ago has become a holiday. was little observed here yesterday for two reasons. In the first place, on account of the attrations in Phoenix Friday was observed as a holiday here and the business men naturally disliked to close on two days in succession. Then, too. the 18th coming on Saturday. the busy day of the week with the mer- chants. they preferred to continue busi- ness as usual
 The banks and the Dostoffice. how ever. took advantage of the day and closed up shop. A good many who had not been able to. get away during the two other days of the meet. man. aged to get off yesterday afternoon and took in the program of aviation events.

EARLL's TRIAL POSTPONED.

The examination before Justice IT, win of A. E. Earll. solicitor for the Winona mills. who was arrested recently on a charge of peddiinS without license. was postponed un- til February g. The case was set for hearing on last Tuesday. but was postponed upon the request of Earlrs attorney It is understood that Earll wished time to communicate with the mills management in order to find out just how far they would back him in his proposed fight against the Mesa ordinance. Earll claims that his soliciting orders for goods % be delivered in the future does not constitute pcddling. and believes that an interstate commerce ruling will uphold him in his contention.

Young stated after his return that the spec tacle was swell worth the journey. and that the minor accidents which befell the asroplanes served rather to the spectacular feature of the performances than to detract from them.

TRAINS HAD NO MONOPOLY.

By no means all of the Mesa and Tempe people who attended the avia- ton meet in Phoenix contributed their mite to thes railroads, on,- al three evenings the Phoenix-Tempe- Mesa road was highway largely un- seen, but nevertheless definitely marked by long. narrow cloud oi dust raised by a multitude of auto mobiles. bicycles. motorcycles and horse drawn vehicles In nearly every instance the trip to Phoenix was pleasant one: but in the evening when the air was quiet and the dust hung consistently over the road. the return was attended by some discomfort.

THIRD CARLOAD.

Massachusetts produces little or
