THE ANNIVERSARY
OF A PRISON BREAK
Forty Seven Years Ago Yesterday
Thomas Boyle Left AndersonVille.

The Fourth Of July has more of a
meaning for Thomas Boyle than any
other man in Phoenix. 1t was forty
seven years ago yesterday that he made
his escape from AndersOnville prison
But il was one thing to get out of the
dreaded stockade and another to get
out of the country as So many Of the
fugitives discovered. There was the
Charlottesville river to cross for the
first thing and the rebel outposts TO
evade. But Mr.. Boyle this time sue
cceded in reaching the union lines and
freedom.
II was not his first prison break but
the eighth, not all however from An
dersonville. In some Of his escapes
he said he was aided by confederate
soldiers and now and then by an officer
and on one occasion he was cheered
as he knocked down n guard VINO stood
between him and liberty
Sometimes he was accompanied by
other prisoners but invariably they
succumbed To- the hardships of the
flight and handicapped their harder
companion. He left AndersOnville alone
determined that whatever might hap
pen he would not return To the custody
of Wirz who, after the war, was exc
cuted for his cruelty TO union soldiers.

1t is the duty of every expectant
mother to prepare her system for the
coming of her little one; to avoid as
far as possible the suffering of such
occasions, and endeavor to pass
through the crisis with her health
and strength unimpaired. This she
may do through the use of Mothers
Friend, a remedy that has been so
long in use, and accomplished so
much good, that it is in no sense an
experiment, but preparation which
always produces the best results. 1t
is for exernal application and so pen
Grating in its nature as to thoroughly
lubricate every muscle, nerve and ten
don involved during the period before
baby comes. 1t aids nature by ex-
panding the skin and tissues, relieves
tenderness and soreness, and perfectly
prepares the system for natural and
safe motherhood. Mothers Friend
has been used and endorsed by thou
sands of mothers, and its use will
prove a comfort and a benefit to any
woman in need of such a remedy.

ENGLISH GIRL IN NEW YORK.

An English girl writes this letter to
st. Nicholas, giving Americans some
thing to think about in more than
one way. We have heard 4 good
deal about how much gray weather
they have in England, but this young
girls surprise that the New Workers
are not more grateful for the sun
shine makes us realize that the misty
mOisty" weather of old England must
be just~lvhat the man clad in leather
thought about il. She SAYS:
Il am an English girl. and this is
the first time | have ever come to
America. | have nine step brothers
and sisters in England. but only mo-
Their and | came to America.
Il have met several girls in New
York and though many of them are
the same age as ! am, they dress as
If they were Is. They seldom stand
up when a lady comes into the room,
which is one of the first things an
English girl is taught ] think New
York is a beautiful city. for there is
so much sunlight. No New Yorker
ever seems surprised at the beautiful
weather.

NEW RAILROAD FOR
THE JEROME SECTION
Will be Built to Site For New U. v.
Smelter in Verde Valley.

Earl Parker. engineer of the Santa
Fe, Prescott & Phoenix railroad. went
into the field from Cedar Glade, a
station on that line, Wednesday, for
the purpose Of surveying the line of
the new branch from that place into
the Verde Valley To the point east Of
Jerome where the new smelter will
be erected by the United Verde Cop
per company. says the jerome News.
This is the route that the News al
ways ahead and always reliable with
news Of particular interest to Jerome,
predicted the new railroad into the
valley would take when constructed,
in its issue Of June 3. Cedar Glade is
located a few miles north of Del Rio.
The road, it is presumed. will drop
into the valley at or near the Perkins
ranch. a short distance above Syca-
more canyon on the Verde river. The
new line will be about a. miles from
the junction with the s. f, p * y.
railroad to the smelter.
The outfit which left Prescott Tues
lday under Engineer Parker, and his
assistants, William Harmony and w.
J. Jamison, consisted Of crew Of 20
transport the outfit. This looks like
business. and undoubtedly the jerome
district will be- enjoying the benefits
of a broad guage railroad within the
next ten months.
With the railroad completed and
ready to deliver material and machin-
cry on the site. the work of building
the new smelter can be rapidly push
! ed along, and while it may not be
possible to complete it within two
years. vet a part Of il Will be In com
mission within that time In the
meantime the smelter on the hill Is
being improved and added to. and
win be kept at work mp to and very
likely after the time the new one Is
completed.
OF the utmost interest and import
ance TO the district is the fact that

COILS EUM.

Two OF the niftiest dancers who
ever raised the dust on the Coliseum
stage are ward and Manning. who
close the new bill that opened last
night, but are headliners just the
same.
Ward and Manning are two long.
slender young fellows who can sing
and who can dance. but who don't
spring one joke during their entire
performance. They begin with several
good songs and then begin on the
dancing. First they dance together.
then they dance singly and then they
dance together again. They do clogs
and soft-shoe dances with equal skill
The singular feature of this act is
their perfect team work. Ward and
Manning are together every second
Whenever one makes move the 9TH
er one makes it. Their work gives
evidence of months of careful re
hearsing.
From a laugh-producing standpoint.
Flo, the human band" leads all the
other performers at the Coliseum this
week. Whether his is a freak voice
or he has made IT what II is by long
training, 1t is indeed a marvel Flo
is just what his catchline implies
he is a band all by himself. He i'm
itates whole band, n whole orches-
ira and the individual instruments.
The only instruments he uses are a
short megaphone and a guitar With
their help he is enabled To produce
some weird and wonderful effects.
His best imitation is that of a Ger
man saxophone. which, he says. is the
hardest instrument to reproduce with
the human voice.
The athletic act of Pons and Pons
is fair. They are, big fellow who
looks like he would make a cracker
Jack prize-fighter and a tiny little
woman. who nevertheless has plenty
Of muscle. She seems to throw her
partner about almost as easily as he
swings her around.
There will be an entire change of
pictures ut the Coliseum tonight.

were working under disadvantage by
having several new players on the
team, they played one of the snappiest,
cleanest games ever played on the
diamond; Fox Hanscom, McMurrough
and Jacka getting ten hits between
them. Ryan pitched a perfect game
from start to finish and had control to
waste in the pinches. Dodgeville also
played a good game, their shortstop
making two very neat plays. The

Teachers by Mail,

Six courses in education, primarily
intended for teachers in both grades
and high schools, are now included in
the correspondence study department.
of the extension division of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin. These courses are
being offered to meet the demand on
the part of teachers who cannot take
time to attend a college or university,
but still want to improve their methods
of teaching and keep up with the
newest ideas in pedagogy.
Principles of teaching is the title of
the first course offered and deals with
vital educational problems in way
intended to meet the actual needs of
teachers. In the second course, the
the development of childhood and
youth is taken up, the work being
adapted to the needs of parents who
desire to instruct their children as well
as to the needs of teachers.
Two courses in the history of educa-
ton are offered, the first dealing with
the entire subject of modern education,
while the latter is confined only to the
history of education in America
