 It is astonishing how quickly fas- hionable society has moved into these quarters. Already now these out skirts of the city have developed a new life of their own. Kurfursten- damn is now for Berlin life what the Posse is for Vienna or the "Str0eg between Kongens to NytorV for Co penhagcn: the promenade of the sty fish part of the population. Here we find also that bohemian element and

a great deal of that extravaganza
 of high life for which Paris is ia
 nous. Of course the shops followed
 their best customers. In the begin
 ming the old houses Of the city open
 ed branches for the west; then new
 elegant maga zines of the Regent
 street type were founded; now there
 is already a peculiar style of Kurfur-
 stendamm shop discernible Superior
 taste and artistic decorations are in
 dispensable requisites for these shops.
 One need only peep into the numer-
 ous new coffee houses along the
 street to get a notion of Kurfursten damn style. In order to compete with their rivals each of these res
 taurants had to develop q speciality that was likely to attract patronage; everywhere good music is an attrac- | ton given into the bargain. Artists and literary men meet at some favor ite place, elegant ladies or the fast
 set at another The five o'clock tea

ST. JOHNS

ST. JOHNS, Ariz., Sept 19.-lt was learned here today that petition IS being quietly circulated in the outly- ing districts praying for the recall of Isaac Isaacson, coupty superintendent of roads, and Pedro Candelaria, mem Der of the board of supervisors of Apache county. So far, this petl- tion has not made it's appearance at the county seat and the general in- dications are that 1t will meet with such a frost" before it arrives here that it will not appear at all.
 Isaacson and Candelaria are both prominent and wealthy citizens and were elected last fall by a large ma jority They are both republicans and apparently are very strong poli- tically Much surprise is expressed that these two men should be chosen to "try out the recall on, for little if any criticism has been expressed regarding either. It is thought by those in close touch with political affairs here that this is merely a preliminary movement for the pur- pose of ascertaining the sentiment of the voters, and if it proves favor able to their scheme it is hinted that a certain restless faction will ask for a wholesale recall of county of ficials In explanation of this, it might be well to add that majority of the officers are republicans. and since the enactment of the educa- tionai qualification law. the demo- crats may possibly be in the major ity.
 A peculiar feature of this attempted recall movement is the fact that at least 9 per cent of all voters at the last general election must sign peti- ton of this kind before it will re- ceive recognition by the authorities. There were something over 600 votes cast in the county at the general election last November, and at the present time there are only 121 reg istered voters in the county, due, in small measure to the aforesaid educational qualification law, but principally to negligence of qualified electors in getting their names on the great register.
