FATHER BENNETT
 RESIGNS GLOBE PASToRATE

GLOBE, Ariz., March 15.-Acting on the request of the pastor, the vestry of St. John s Episcopal church and the Rt. Rev. J. w. Atwood, Bishop of Arizona, accepted the res ignation of the Rev. F. J. Bennett as rector of the church, last night
 The vestrymen of the church met in the offices of Judge E. w. Lewis and heard the request of the rector to be relieved. He gave his physical infirmities as the reason for his de- sire to sever his connection with the church nere, holding that the needs of the congregation require a younger man.
 The vestry acceded to the request and the bishop formally severed the relations between the congregation and the rector.
 "We do not know how soon the congregation will secure another rec tor," said Judge Lewis, after the meeting, "but it probably will not be until after Easter"
 The Rev. Mir. Bennett probably will go to Phoenix, where he will do mis- sionary work under the direction of the bishop. He will reside at St. Luke's Home
 Father Bennett has been long in the service of the church in the Southwest, having lived for many years in New Mexico before coming to Arizona. Years ago, before the Territories began to be gridironed with railroads, he ministered to the spiritual wants and needs of the Episcopalians in the scattered towns of the then sparsely settled Peeos, Sacramento and Mesilla valleys, tray cling from place to place over desert wastes by stage when stages were available, and oftener on horseback.
 During his residence in Globe ana Prescott, Father Bennett acquired a host of warm friends in and out of the church. who admired him for his fidelity and goodness of heart, and who deplOre that the infirmities of age force him to relinquish his pas torate.
 He realizes. however. that the work of building UT . parish is the work of young man. and much as he dis likes to leave Globe, he bows to the inevitable.
 In his new field, to which he will repair when his successor is chosen and installed, Father Bennett will find his duties more suited to his physical capacity and his journey down the sunset slope of life made easier.

 The picture is taken from an his torical anecdote, being drawn from an incident in the life of two child ren of the late General A. " Kautz, who was the first commandant sta toned at Fort whipple in the early days.
 The picture depicts the children as having been captured by Indians, while awaiting the return of a scout, and in which position their rescuers found them.
 This picture is about three by four feet, exclusive of a frame of brown stained Mission style, and the land scape coloring and composition is ex- eeptiOnally beautiful, promising a suitable and attractive adjunct to the furnishings of the Home, if it Ndh bO aSOOih hpAiShOu DH uoHdlAOho lO- wards its purchase by individuals generously inclined toward the Home or the widow of the late Captain Phillips, who has been, since his death, in reduced circumstances.

MEMBERSHIP OF AUTO CLUB IS
 INCREASING
CFrom Fridays Daily)

At the annual meeting of the Pres colt Auto Club, held during the early part of the week, F. W. Foster was reelected president, c. T. Joslin vice president. o. A. Hesla treasurer, and H. D. Aitken secretary. A large number of members were in attend anee, and the situation for the com ing year in road building and other matters was gone over.
 D. M. Clark, chairman of the road committee, was instructed to start the work of repairing the loop route at the earliest date possible. A drag will be used, and some repairs will also be made. It is the intention to get this popular driveway in the best possible condition, and quite a sum will be expended
 New work was also under consid- eration in the good roads movement, and when definite action is taken the country to be affected will be given publicity. The projected auto route from Kingman to Prescott and from Chino Valley to Ash Fork, for the Grand Canyon attractions, are receiving earnest consideration, and there is a strong probability that both will receive material support from the Club.
 The roll call of autos in the city shows a total of nearly fifty, and two new members were admitted at the last meeting, by E. s. Clark and R. \. Fredericks signing and prom ising to assist heartily in the cause of good roads. Other owners have promised to cooperate with the or ganizatiOn, and before the summer passes at least sixty ears will be registered.
 From a financial standpoint the l Club is in excellent condition, and contemplates spending more money this year on roads than ever before. l An elaborate program for entertain ing visiting autoists will be taken up later.

 HIS CACTUS FARM
CFrom Wednesdays Daily


 Charles B. Genung, who has been in the city for several days on Hti- gation, returned to Forepaugh, on the A. & C. railroad, yesterday, near where he has under cultivation his spineless cactus farm. He states that he will devote the remainder of his life to this industry, and is firm in his conviction that he will startle the country in propagating a large acreage of this unexcelled food, bas- ing his belief on the good results obtained from three years of expert mental culture on a limited scale. MT. Genung is probably one of the best informed men in the country on historical matters of the very early days. In fact, he is one of the few survivors of the era that takes one back when there was not a house in this city. He visited the Pioneer Home during his brief so- journ and met men of the days of '64, that he mad not seen in over a third of a century. The greeting was a cordial one, and many thrilling were revived, in which all participated. He is pleased at the of this institution, and anticipates returning to the city in the near future for a more extended visit with his many friends.

 Those who nave been inclined tC believe that Fort Whipple was to bt abandoned, through the appointment of a caretaker, and the dispatehine of the garrison to Fort Sam Houston can be relieved of further anxiety through official news that has been received from Washington during the past few days, which dissipates that idea.

(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 A series of eolored lantern slides has been made for the Chamber of Commerce, depicting the charms of the several tracts under eonsidera- tion for the location of the Summer Colony, soon to be opened just one half mile west of this city.
 The views include, among others, scenes from Indian Hill, and vistas across the plateau looking toward Thumb Butte. From the pictures it would appear that the fortunate holders-to-be of free lots in the colony will have to hustle to get into the allotment. The exact site has not been determined upon ab- and no decision may be reached until Wednesday of next week
 After the slides are exhibited at one of the theaters here, they will be taken to Phoenix, there to be shown before the Board of Trade. A plan is on foot in the Chamber of Commerce whereby a wider ap- peal will also be made on the subject of the Summer Colony.

KEEP AWAY FROM
 MEXICO SAYS SToCKMAN
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

D ls
 After a few weeks on the Arizona border and in Sonora, John Y. Hold ing, Colorado cattle buyer, who ar rived yesterday from the scene of nostilities, gives an interesting re- view of his observations, and says that he would advise any of the live stock fraternity who intend to pur- chase Mexican steers, to keep as far away as possible from the dis turbed country. This emphatic state ment is due to his experiences, and in detailing events, would also sug- gest to the young fighting blood of the American, to also heed the same request.
 On cattle deals in that country, Mr Holding states that he could nave purchased any number, but the question was to get them over the line. To accomplish the feat was an impossibility, he believed, for others had attempted the task, and after being out a part payment, had lost all The insurrecto is just as cum ming as the Federal, and another ob- staele was that the Yaqui knew the game well, also. Two Texas cattle men, by way of example, had made a payment of 25 per cent on 300 steers, and delivery was to be made at a stated time, but when the day arrived, neither the cattle now the owners appeared.
 American sympathizers with either side of the contending forces were also advised to keep hands off. In this channel, it was known that sev- eral young and intrepid Americans who had entered the service of the insurreetos had either been killed or had fallen victims to malarial few CTS and other afflietions. While the Inducements in land bounties are al turing, and generously promised by so-ealled representatives of the in- 6QTgenIb, Ine DdlI was uduucu OuJ only as an inducement to swell the firing line with men who were known to be valiant toward any cause they were supporting. The Yaqui Indian, also, has a keep perception of the conditions, and while he is against the Federal. he is face to face also with several insurrectos of prom thence who in the past have waged a cruel war against him. Accord ingly, this branch of the service is conducted independently of the rul- ing faction of the insurrection. The Yaqui people own very attractive land interests, and their present status is to preserve what they own and to assist the insurrection wnen- ever they can consistently do so.
 MT. Holding says, in short, that from Naco on the east to Nogales on the west, chaotic conditions are pre- vailing, and smuggling of arms and ammunition galore is reported to be going on with all the shrewdness possible of those who have lived on the border and are familiar with the typographical conditions of the eoun- try.

 According to the report made yes terday by John Morris, farmer of Skull Valley, gophers are destroying more crops than any other evil that has ever before been noticeable in that section, and he predicts that the coming season will record a very heavy loss, at least so far as his place is to be considered. The rap idity with which they increase has baffled all efforts employed for sev- eral months to exterminate them with every means known, and unless prompt remedy is secured he an ticipates one of the worst pests the country has ever been burdened with.
