VISITING NATIONS
 SEE PIONEER HOME
GFrom Thursdays Daily.)

Yesterday the Pioneer Home in
 this city was graced by one of the
 prettiest events that will probably i ever take place within its generous | confines-the visit of the women of
 the Federated Clubs, now in session
 in this city. These worthy matrons
 of many homes, imbued with a kind ly regard to inspect the institution, and to personally see what the idea
 of the sterner sex reflects in caring for those of other days, were ex-
 tended an invitation to enter the
 place, and willingly availed them
 selves of the opportunity. In har-
 mony with their devotion to the
 cause of humanity, and that the pa
 triotic men of other days should be
 nursed and cared for, there was a
 generous response to Major Doran s
 wish for them to come and see for
 themselves. This pioneer, who will
 be the superintendent of the Home,
 is the Godfather of the movement
 that eliminated in its construction, and in this regard, George D. Morris stands pre-eminent as the young and
 tireless legislator who materially as- sisted in the good work later, and
 through whose untiring zeal the
 beautiful structure is now practic ally ready for the valiant Hassa- yamper.
 The Home was practically cap tured by these fair daughters of Arizona, and a remarkable feature of the investigation that diligently followed by over fifty women for two hours, was that not a single one of them expressed herself other than in the most favorable and laudatory terms. The picturesque surroundings, the broad sweep to far away lands, formed an impression that was re- freshing, and which many said was without an equal. In the many rooms on the two floors the eager eyes of all were centered, and the home-like conditions and comfortable accom- modations were feelingly and hand somely approved.
 Major Doran and MT. Morris con- ducted these representative women through the buildings, and as was to be expected, many even ventured to the basement, te pass upon the heating arrangement, which is vital to all well regulated homes. The general assortment of furniture. fix lures and the arrangement, was un- animously endorsed. Particular at tentiOn was given to the tribute of Gus Heyman, which in beauty and durability brought forth many hand some and deserved compliments to this pioneer commercial man.
 Speaking for her club, Mrs. Sid hey Carleton Newsom said:
 "I am deeply and favorably i'm pressed with this beautiful Home for the pioneer. There is nothing shoddy, whatever, in the furniture, and the beds and fittings are especi- ally good. I have noticed that the | rooms are not only large and com but all are well lighter. Comfort and care seems to have been | the wisdom of the architectural re- gard, and in this the institution ap- neals to me favOrably and convincing y. It was nice of NIT. Heyman and his is a pleasant one to con- sider. In connection with the library movement that is to be introduced { ater in our session by Mrs. Cleve- and, I will state that the Collegiate Tlub of Tucson will send box of books to the Home, immediately, while the WOman's Club of the same ,ity is preparing selection of good -eading matter. I also understand hat the Pioneer Society of Tucson will take the matter up and gener- Dusly assist. This structure com nends itself in an admirable man. ler. The location is splendid and he view from it at any point makes t unsurpassed from scenic stand point It is fascinating, and we are Ill pleased at having made the ,isit.''
 Mrs. Newsom also stated that the many clubs in Arizona are earnestly md zealOusly making a concentrated ,ffort to provide the Home with lit ,rature, and that there will be an abundance when it is formally open d. The Federated Clubs are in iarmony with any movement for the welfare of the pioneer, and since in- pecting the Home will act immedi- ,tely to assist it in any way they lepm hest
