ON THIRD TRIP He
WEEDS BEACH GIRL
Leslie S. Hackney and Miss Lii
Iian Phillips Are Married in
Hotel Alexandria

Three times in as many months VIII
liam r. Hackney, son of Leslie 5.
Hackney, one of the wealthy citizens
of st. Paul, made hurried trips from
st. Paul to Venice, Cal. In each in
stance the magnetic force was Miss
Lillian Phillips, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. R. A. Phillips of Venice and
Pittsburg, Pa.
Better marry the girl and save car
fare, my boy" said Mr.. Hackney when
he became convinced that his son was
the captive of no passing fancy and
that the chance meeting of the young
people at Venice last spring was to
result in real romance.
Fathers verdict was thoroughly
agreeable to the young man. AS he is
only 10, he needed his fathers consent.
His f1ancee was 49, and she, also, need
ed parental consent. 1t was gladly
given and the couple were married in
the Hotel Alexandria yesterday after
noon at o'clock, in the presence of
their parents and a few friends.
WEDDING DINNER
Following the ceremony, which was
performed by the Rev. A. r. Taylor
of Ocean Park, the couple were served
a wedding dinner in private dining
room of the hotel and left later in the
evening. on the LARK for San Fran

journey. They will make their home
in st. Paul.
For several years the Hackneys have
been passing the winter seasons in
Pasadena. The young man met Miss
Phillips at her home in Venice last
spring and before Mr.. Hackney re-
turned to his home in the east with
his parents they were fast friends.
Seemingly the young man could not

short time after leaving he was once
more in Venice. Again he was called
away, returning to st. Paul for short
time and then returning here as soon
as possible. Finally, after three trips
half way across the continent the
young man decided to take the cause
of his travels home with him, and
finding her willing they were married
yesterday.
HOME IN PASADENA
Mr.. Hackney's father, Leslie r.
Hackney, has a beautiful winter home
at Pasadena and has passed the past
few winter seasons here. His son, Will
liam, is we'll known among the younger
sets in both the Crown city and Los
Angeles and is q general favorite.
Miss Phillips has made her home in
Venice for four years, her father be[
ing proprietor of the Venice Drug COM
pany. She is also popular among the
younger members OF Venice and Los
Angeles society, and while the we'd
ding was attended by only the imme-
date members of the families, many
were the congratulations and good
wishes received by the couple from
their friends. The couple will be at
home in st. Paul within a month. and
in all probability Mr.. Hackney will go
into business there with his father.
Those who attended the wedding
were: Floyd Phillips, Agnes Whita-
ker, Thomas A. Bradley, DR.. and Mrs
r. A. Taylor, Mrs. Jane Blair, Mr.. and
Mrs. M. T. Whitaker, Mr.. and Mrs. R.
A. Phillips, Miss Alleen Phillips, who
acted as bridesmaid; John j. Johnson,
who acted as best man, and Mr.. and
Mrs. l.. S. Hackney.

The Star or course, talks silly non
sense. 1t is the aim of the territorial
administration to provide, out of the
road fund, a great public highway
connecting the principal cities of the
territory-a road which ultimately will
enable people to travel with pleasure
in any vehicle between the northern
and southern sections of the terri
tory, particularly, and including var
ious points off the main routs. The
roadway already under construction
is substantially all of it outside of
Maricopa county. Tho great eXpendi-
Pinal counties. II a road is to con-
meet Prescott with Tucson, for ex-
ample, the two principal rivers of
central Arizona-the Salt and the ella
must be bridged. The bridge across
the ella at Florence will soon be fin
ished. The next bridge necessary
will cross the Salt at Tempe. Sup
pose construction of the territorial
highway had been begun in Pima
county-what benefit would it have
been to the territory-if completed
before the bridges across the ella and
Salt rivers? Let the Star and the
people of Pima be sensibly patient
the entire road cannot be constructed
in a day. There was excellent reason
for building the road in ella county,
from the Roosevelt reservoir to Globe,
for the people of Maricopa county had
already constructed road from Mesa
to Roosevelt-the finest 6O-mile road
in America-and by continuing this
road to Globe, two sections of the ter
ritory widely separated by hitherto
impossible mountain ranges are
brought into close communication
From Phoenix to Globe by rail ia
some three hundred miles. BY the
new wagon road the distance is ap-
one hundred miles. Auto
are already making the route
within five hours, as against twenty
four by rail.
The foolish and short sighted criti-
cisms of the southern papers will be
changed to praise of the road system,

Silly SectionaIism.

If the foolish spirit of sectionalism
voiced by the Tucson Star is repre-
sentative of public sentiment in Tue
son and Pima county, we have to sug-
gest that the people down that way
will find it profitable TO themselves
to take a broader view of Arizona af-
fairs. Concerning the policy of the
territorial administration relative to
public highways, the Star returns to
its baseless charge that everything is
done for the benefit of Maricopa coun-
ty to the prejudice of the other coun-
ties, in these words:
Including the levy of 1910 Pima
county will have been forced to con-
tribute to the extent of about $4,000
for which she receives not one cent of
benefit. The building of bridges and
the making OF roads to Phoenix has

The Great Fair,

The territorial fair of 1910, which
most successful of all, from every
standpoint. The attendance has been
larger, the exhibits and attractions
more varied, and the crowds have been
better entertained and pleased than
ever before. The fair commissioners,
especially Commissioners Campbell
and Moore. who have had practically
all the direct responsibility. have + sde
a record this year that will not be
easily surpassed in future years.
The job of fair commission calls
for unusual executive ability, for al
most unceasing labor for many weeks,
and for a world of painstaking and
patience. Withal it is a job which
returns no compensation to the COM
missioners except the hearty praise
of the people and the satisfaction of
knowing that a difficult work in the
public service has been well per-
formed
Whatever sectional and other differ
ences that may exist in Arizona in re-
spect. of other matters, there is a
unanimity of opinion all over the ter
ritory that the annual appropriation
by the territory for the support of
the fair is one of the most profitable
investments that the taxpayers make
of the public funds.

Finances and Markets

New York, Nov authorizations
| in prices in todays stock market tes-
titled to the unsettled opinions on
the speculative outlook. A rapid
covering of short contracts in yes
terday's late rally left the interest so
much reduced as to deprive the mar
ket today of a potential support. Ad-
vances which were general at one
time were contracted into small de-
clines at the close.
There was a decided easing in the
tone of the money market, both in
call and time. Preliminary esti-
mates of the weeks currency move
ment showed relaxation in the inter
ior demand on New York, which
promised relief from the drain on
that account:
A more effective influence on the
easing of the money market is the
liquidation of stocks since election
day.
Special pressure against New York
Central made bad impression on
sentiment and helped force prices
backward after the advance.

fronts it to assure the continuance of

ports were disappointing. for while
the decline compared was a very
large total for October, last year that
total was largely due to the heavy
cotton export movement, while the
cotton exports this year exceeded even
that extraordinary figure. Exports of

DEATH OF A GRAND OLD MAN,
AND WAR VETERAN.

William Henry Prosser, of Da-
mascus, died on Tuesday, April 26th,
at his home, ofheart failure, at the
age of II years. He was one of nat
ure's noblemen, man of most eX-
emplary habits; a Christian in the
truest sense OF the word; loved and
respected by all who knew him. His
motto in life was the Golden Rule,
which he practiced so that his word
was as good as his bond. He was a
soldier during the Civil war, enlist
ing in September, 1861, when twen-
ty-two years of age, served three
years in Company H, 56th n. Y.
Volunteers; re-enlisted in February
1864, and served with his company
until Oct. II, 1865, the war having
expired. He received an honorable
discharge. He never drank intoXi-
cants nor used tobacco in any form,
and put IN a long life of usefulness
on his farm at Damascus. He was
a firm believer and staunch supporter
of the principles of Republicanism.
He is survived by three nieces, Mrs,
Nearing, Mrs William Tyler, and
Miss Hudson. Funeral was held on
Thursday, the Rev. Mr.. Bell Off
ciating. Interment was made in Hill
side cemetery, Damascus.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO
TEACHERS.

Prof. oday desires to suggest to
all those who usually attend his
summer school for teachers, that
they now enter the High school and
take the review work there. The reg
ular High school work includes clas-
SEES in the common branches which
are required for teachers examina-
tions, with the exception of the read
ing work. The regular work of the
school gives teacher much better
preparation than would the four
weeks summer time. The pupil
teacher is brought in closer relation
with the different teachers in the
High school, as well as those in the
proper grammer grades, hence receiv-
cs broader knowledge. If you were
planning to attend the summer
school, we will be pleased to enroll
you in the regular high school work.
DO not neglect this opportunity to
prepare tor your examinations
The summer school for teachers,
which has usually been conducted by
Prof. Oday and Mrs. Dix, will not
be held this summer, as Prof. Oday
and his wife anticipate taking a
western trip, and Mrs. Dix desires to
visit her daughter in Spokane. They
feel that they need the entire vaca-
tion for the purpose.
Prof. Oday has received notice that
the Honesdale High school has been
placed on the accredited list of the
University of Michigan; this means
that students who have completed
the required work in our local school
can enter the University of Michigan
without any examinations. 1t is OK
pected that two of the Alumni, viz.
Reuben Brown and Austin Lyons will
enter the Law Department of the
University of Michigan next fall.

PROF. REHBEIN HoNoRED.

On Saturday night Kingston Coun-
ell, No 356, of the United CONNER
cial Travellers, installed their new
officers. After the installation
speeches we're made by several of the
brethren. Prof. A. s. Rehbein, of
Honesdale, the magician, was intro
duced and gave an exhibition of
skill in doing seemingly impossible
things, that those present began to
believe that the physical senses are
not reliable and cannot be depended
upon. The Professor had the crowd
so completely amazed and hypnotized
that they had hard work to get back
into a normal condition and tell him
that as it was through his efforts
that Kingston Council had been in
stituted, and that as an appreciation
of his many kindnesses, they had
handsome counselor's pin which Past
Senior Counselor Harrison, in a very
nice and appropriate speech, pre-
sented to him. st. James orchestra
furnished the music in very ac-
ceptable manner, while the refresh
ments were being served and during
the entertainment.

A cIash With caaed Pythons.

Carl Hagenbeck thus described an
adventure with Gagged pythons: My
son Heinrich had no sooner opened the
door of the cage than the four reptiles,
as though by prearrauged plan, flew at
him with wide open jaws. One OF
them very nearly succeeded in coiling
itself round him, but he defended him
self vigorously, and | and a keeper
ran TO his aid. but it was some min
utes before we succeeded in freeing
him. Then the largest of the four
fixed himself firmly with his tail on a
rafter at the top of the cage and made
savage bites at us. When we had
thrown a sack over his head we had to
secure further assistance to unloosen
his tail. No sooner had we with great
effort got it loose than the monster
twisted itself around Helnrich's right
leg and began to twine itself higher
up his body. 1t was life md death
struggle that then ensued, but by eX-
erting all our might we at last sue
ceeded in tearing away the reptile and
forcing 1T into a sack"
