The Worlds CreatestActress Comes to Tucson. The Divine Sarah to
 Play There April t7th.

The last visit of Sarah Bern hardt.
 On Monday, night, April 17th, the most famous actress in all the world comes to Tucson for one performance, with her own com pany and complete productions from the Sarah Brenhardt Theatre, Paris, France.
 The engagement is of such magnitude that all the railroads entering Tucson will make a gala day of the event by placing on sale cheap round trip excursion tickets.
 The play to be presented is Dumas masterpiece, "Camille", which is considered one of Bern hardt's greatest roles and which has had prominent place in her vast repertoire during her recent engagements in New York, Chica- go, and Boston.
 Bernhardt is now on her way to California, where she will visit only the prominent cities, as she sails for France early in May, her guarantee ofthree hundred perform ances having been fulfilled by that time, as also the guarantee of $120000 for each of the perform ances which she receives before going on the stage.
 For the convenience of the out of town patrons, tickets can be ordered by mail when accompanied by post or express money order, addressed to Tucson Opera House. The prices are $1., $2, and $3. The regular sale of seats will open on Friday, April IA, at 9 a. m.

Used TO KISSING.

They were In a magnificently deco
rated room in the west end of London.
They approached each other from
opposite directions. One of them was
pale as a ghost, the other blushing
red as cherry.
Presently they met, and, careless OF
the fact that dozens of eyes were
watching them, they kissed each other.
The meeting seemed to bring them
perfect peace; but, alas, alack, they
had scarcely been side by side twenty
seconds when a man approached with
fire of battle in his eye. With cool In
science he raised the stick he carried,
and then-oh, horror-he struck
sharp, quick blow, and the pale one
was sent spinning several feet away.
The other neither screamed nor
tainted. There was no heartbreakfng,
no resentment, not even murmur.

that hard work would have to be
done in the country parishes to
overcome it, but such is not the
case. The great masses OF the people
Of that great city are chatting under

ceases to be a game and becomes

When guests will eat your sand

that you have won, isn't the California
Judge right? Poker isn't game; it's
a misdemeanor. When men will smoke
your good cigars and remind you thas
you were 10 cents shy in pot twenty
minutes ago, poker isn't a game; it's
grand larceny.
And on top of all this, when your
guests depart, their pockets bullying
with your money, instead of thanking
you for your hospitality, they chuckle
among themselves and remark:
LET us know when you're going to
do this again, will you? It's the softest

AGAINST MlLETARISM
Boy Scout Movement Condemned by
Socialists as "MurderouS Princi-
cipleS" Inculcated i'm Children.

Baltimore, Nd, Aug. Cat the
morning session of the Socialists
State Convention today a resolution
condemning the Boy Scouts OF
America on the ground that it is an
organization which will prove harm
fuI to the labOring classes was unan-
imously adopted by. the delegates,
One of the reasons advanced by the
Socialist party in condemning the
Boy Scout movement is that boys
might. in times of strikes or labor
troubles, fight against their own
class of people. One paragraph OF
he resolution reads:
Whereas, the greatest crime OF
all ages has been and is the monu-
mental crime of war, whose burdens
have fallen upon the men of the
working class, but more upon the
women, whose blood has mingled
with the blood of the millions Of vic
Tins that have stained the earth for
countless centuries.
"Therefore, we take our stand
with the position of the interna-
tional Socialist movement against
war and against militarism, and
state that we unqualifiedly denounce
this insidious attempt to inculcate
murderous principles in the minds
of orr children and to turn them
against members Of their own class. y
The resolutions committee pre-
scented a platform reffirming allegi-
ance to the Socialist party of Amer
lea and to the principles of interna-
| tional Socialism, declaring that 1.-THE
purpose Of government is to secure
Ito its citizens the inalienable rights
of life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, and that our present sys-
tenn of economic inequality makes
this impossible"

Square Wrist Watches and Sou.
yenir LOckets Of Enamel.

Enameled ornaments are still very
much worn, and new forms have been
found for them. The wrist watches
that are seen now are made square and
very thin, with the face Of the watch
set In the center.
Not only are there square watches
for the wrists, clasped round by MEANS
Of straps Of dove and pearl gray leath-
er, but the new locket watches are OF
the same shape, and very quaint and
attractive they look. Lockets are being
sold again to an increased number q
people, and especially as gift from
a lover to his lass.
A beautiful square 1ocket made OF
fame colored enamel. symbolic of tns
ardor OF love, has the words For
You" In diamonds across the front,
while another has the more stereo-
typed words Good Luck" traced In
pearls upon the surface. The portrait
Is incased at the back of the enamel.
When few seasons ago ropes OF
pearls with tasseled ends were intro
duced 1t was wondered whether the
fancy for them would be fieeting
one or not. 1t has not only returned,
but has brought In Its train a liking
for threaded pearl bracelets and for
other ways OF stringing pearls, just as
children thread their beads to make
necklaces and rings.
The effect Is light and very graceful.
