C. H. Tinkham Honored by Brother
Odd Fellows
twenty-five years an Odd Fellow
in good standing and all that time a
faithful sttendent is the record of c..
Fl. Tinkham.
The occasion was celebrated Tues,
day evening of this week at the
Society Hall by the Odd Fellows, and
as a memento of the occasion and as a
token of their appreciation of his
activities in behalf of the order, Mr..
Tinkham was presented with a hand
some veterans jewel by his brethren
Grand Secretary Harvey j. Rice, of
Huron, made the presentation speech
The best part of the affair was the
complete surprise that was worked
on Tinkham. j.. FL. Hall engineered
the scheme that worked so success
fully. 1t was decided that to keep
Tinkham in the dark as to the real
object of the meeting and the presence
of his old friend Rice, it would be
necessary to interest Mr.. Tinkham in
the matter and get him to play a lead
ing part. Mr.. Rice was written to
and informed of the plan and request
ed to notify Mr.. Tinkham that he
would visit the De Smet lodge as
grand secretary on a certain date.
| That worked well. When Mr.. Rice
| arrived in De Smet on Tuesday after
noon he was accompanied by three
others, including the grand master of
South Dakota. Mr.. Tinkham met
the party and vas somewhat surpris-
ed to see the others. He Immediately
set about it to inform the Odd Fellows
in the city that the grand officers were
here and urged everyone to attend,
Everyone appeared innocent, but
promised to be on hand. As soon as
Tinkham disappeared they enjoyed a
good hearty laugh at his expense.
After the routine businss of the
evening the presentation of the
jewel took place. When the jewel
was placed in his hand, the whole
thing dawned upon him, and if he
was ever beat for something to say, il
was right then and there.
A committee had provided refresh.
ments which were served after the
close Of the lodge, and to which all
did justice.
Those who were present from out
side the city were Grand Master B
f. Raymond, of Villas; Grand Secre
tary H. Rice; Past Grand Patriarch
George Grove, F. Hollabush, and
Eckhart, of Huron.

GIVE THE Y. W. C. A. HEARTY SUPPORT

The effort of the Young women's Christian association to give Bis bee course of really good enter tainnent, at the remarkably low price of S2.5O for the series of four splendid numbers, is a direct ap- peal to the intelligence and refine ment of the community. The en- terprise of the association leaders shows faith in Bisbee which the Review trusts is well placed.
 The Ernest Gamble Concert par ty will be here today. for the frsr entertainment of the series. It is safe to say that Blsbee has never had opportunity 10 patronize SC good an entertainment for twice the money. and every person who in vests in a ticket Is not only doing himself a favor, but encouraging the association in work which is both valuable and essential to the camp. In other words. every man and woman has a large degree of self interest in standing with the as sociation in this enterprise.
 The Review understands that the association officers have some tick cts left, which must be sold if loss is to be avoided. We are sure the good people of the community will take uP those tickets TODAY.

The statehood committee Is now enroute to Washington city. under the leadership of Charley Akers. the prominent republican of Phoenix II is composed of a dozen prominent citizens of the territory and its mis- sion is to induce the president and congress to approve the Arizona con stitution and bring the new state into the Union before the end of the present congress. Delegate Cameron only few days ago gave out a statement in Washington to the ef- feet that there was no hope Of any action on the Arizona constitution during this session, but the wish will be general that this committee when it reaches Washington may induce Jonathan Bourne to go over to She White House and raise such row as to cause the president to surren- der.

A SINGER AND CAMERA.

Mir. Ernest Gamble. the distin- guished basso in his student days in Europe was an enthusiastic dew otee of the kodak and he secured many interesting pictures of Euro pean scenes. army reviews, royalty, etc. This was before the days when kodalG were so universal and Mir. Gamble was in a large Continental city. where a big demonstration was going on in which the Czar of Rus sia. the Kaiser of Germany. several high officials and 30,0O0 soldiers were taking part Mir Gamble was anxious to secure a picture of the Czar and was maneuvering about in order to get good view. Suddenly a soldier rushed up to Mir. Gamble with bayonet fixed and placed him under arrest. He was at once sun rounded, the procession stopped and for time there was a great com motion. The soldier thought he was an anarchist and that the peculiar looking box he had under his arm was a dynamite bomb. Mr. Gamble thought his time had come and that ne was about to be cast into prison. He had great difficulty in explaining Tn pantomine for the most part that ne was not bomb thrower and that the innocent looking box was only kodak. It appears the Russions had never seen a kodak before and mistook it for a bomb. He was fin- ally allowed to go, but he was not permitted to take a picture Of the Emperor Nicholas.
