FRANCIS SUIT HOUSE
HOLDS FALL OPENING
Surpasses in Beauty and Careful Sc
lection Any Previous Showing.

Ii is likely that of all of the open
ing held or to be held in Phoenix
this season none will surpass in beau
" and careful selection OF millinery
and suits. that of the Francis Suit
and Cloak House held on Saturday
Patrons OF this house have come to
expect the best the markets of New
York and Paris offer and their OK
pectancy was met to the fullest in
the display which greeted their eyes
upon the occasion Of this years
showing of fall and winter styles.
The windows of the establishment
afforded something of an idea Of
what was to he found within. Here
were shown the various STYLES Of
trimmed hats which are bound to be
in vogue in Phoenix as well as IN
the larger cities of the country this
winter And there was a distinctive
ness which marked them as from
this house Just as certainly as though
the card of the establishment had
been attached to them.
The showing of suits was upon
a scale probably never attempted by
the Francis before. Every wanted
material and shade was to be found
here and many a lady who visited
the place on Saturday left after pur-
chasing or at least deciding upon
what she intended to purchase in the
near future While there was moth
ing ostentatious about the opening
il was. in point OF attendance and
interest, one of the most successful
in the history Of the Francis Suit

NO STREET PARADE.
The Wild West and Far East Will Not
Give a Street Pageant When the
Exhibition Visits This City.

For many reasons the management of
Buffalo Bills Wild West and Pawnee
Bits Far East has decided to abandon
the street parade which has. in years
past, been the usual thing with travel
ing organizations of this size and char
acter. It.is set forth in many instances
the late arrival of the trains bearing
the paraphernalia makes it impossible
TO give a parade and start the after
noon performance on time. Through
these delays the public is compelled TO
experience a tedious wait while the
work of preparing for the performance
goes on. Again it is considered an un-
necessary hardship to compel men and
horses to parade for two hours before
beginning the afternoon exhibition. es
pecially when it is considered that two
shows every day are the rule with this
exhibition. BY doing away with the
street pageant men and horses are
fresh for their performance and it
would seem that the public is entitled
to q perfect performance which ii pays
for, rather than to a free street par
ade which gives, at best but poor
idea of the magnitude of the exhibit
ton. Another reason which has served
the influence the decision is the fact
that merchants in the cities visited OBJ
ject to parades because they interrupt
business and interfere with general
traffic SO strenuous is this objection
that in many cities permit to parade
cannot be secured, and in other places
the fee demanded is set at such an ex-
orbitant rate that it practically prohib-
| its street pageants. In any event the

of which the good old Belt Line down
there in South street is one.
There the horse cars still amble
comfortably. with car bells jinsling and
cars rocking and rolling. just the same
as they did in the time when loity
spared sailing ships came here from
every cline to tie up at South streets

BILL IS SMALL
But APPREC|AT|vE

"To Bill from the boys" is the
inscription engraved on a hand
some miniature loving cup, pre-
sented by the boys of the wild
fire" company to William Archi-
bald Smith, better known as Will
Archie, who finished his one thou
sandth performance in "Wildfire"
at the Spokane theater last night.
Archie was overwhelmed with
the present and although it is only
tiny thing, being all the more
appropriate for him, the little "big
man" declared it was immense"
He is going to take it with him
back to New York, where it will
adorn a prominent portion of his
den, which is furnished complete
with special furniture suited to the
size of William Archibald. Archie
owns the "Willarch" hotel in New
York, but he lives in an apartment
uptown. The names of the donors,
engraved on the back of the loving
cup are Bert, Cecil, Charlie, John,
Nick and Rowland.

PHILADELPHIA, March Miss
Mary Winsor of the Limited Suf-

bers of the local societies to write
letters to the leading newspapers

"The newspapers are undoubtedly
the best medium by which to spread
interest in this question:" she said.
1T is the only way to answer the
absurd and erroneous statements
made by the anti-suffragists.

statements in one letter than a suf-
fragist can possibly answer, but
