MAxIMILIAN IN MEXICO.

Neither Europe nor America is eel ebrating an anniversary of great his toric interest, the offer, fifty years ago this month, of the imperial crown of Mexico to Prince Maximi- Han, younger brother of the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, at his castle of Miramar on the Adriatic. In the beautiful home built by him. self Maximilian, who had retired a few years before from the vice royal ty of Lombardy, was enjoying ideal happiness with his young wife, Car lotta, Q daughter of Leopold I. of Bel gium, when summoned at the instance of Napoleon III to a throne propped up by French bayonets. Napoleon had long cherished the design to es- tablish a vassal empire in Mexico, and in our civil war he saw his op- portunity. The story of French in- vasion and occupation is well known.
 Secretary Seward, ss the war drew toward it's close, increased the ur- gency of his demand, repe; tedly made, that the French should evacu- ate Mexico and leave the Mexicans free to set up their own government. Napoleon dared not challenge the United States by refusal. Gen. Philip H. Sheridan was on the Rio Grande with a seasoned and discf- plined army; other great armies of veterans were ready to obey the sum- mons to battle, and Generals Grant and Sherman would willingly have followed in the footsteps of Scott and

Taylor Maximi1ian, deceived as to the strength of his cause with the
 natives, refused to accompany Ba- zaine across the ocean, and the month
 of May, 1867, saw the emperor shut up with small force at Queretaro,
 surrounded by an army of 10000
 Mexican avengers.
 In the final days of his life and
 reign the hapless Austrian prince ex-
 Eibited a courage and nobility of character worthy of a desceluant of
 Maria Theresa. He faced death with more than reckless daring; be shared all the privatiors of hiS faithful ad- herents, and he was preparing to cut
 his way onts through the host of be- siegeTs when treachery delivered him to the enemy.
 Miguel Lopez was the Benedict Ar Miguel Lopez was the Benedict Ar mold of Queretaro; personal immun- ity and 2000 ounces of gold the price Lopez held the key to Queretaro- the convent of La Cruz. Maximi- Han had been his friend and gener- ous patron, and had appointed him chief of the imperial guard Lopez discerned the approaching downfall of his sovereign and resolved to save himself by betraying him to the en- emy. The liberal troops were ad- mitted to La Cruz, and the emperor and his officers were prisoners
 In vain the Princess Salm-Salm, representing one of the proudest families in Europe, bent her knees before the Indian president of Mex ico and pleaded for the life of Maxi milan. Boys, aim well-aim at my hearti" was Maximilian's request to his executioners. "Oh mani" was his last cry as he fell, the victim of his own folly and of Louis Napoleon's perfidy. The volley which pierced his breast was the knell of the Bona parte dynasty. Gravelotte was then but little more than three years from Queretaro.
 Carlotta knew nothing of her hus- bands fate. Crushed by the refusal of Napoleon to recall his order for the withdrawal of the French troops from Mexico, sheh ad become insane in the previous October, and has ever since been under safeguard in a royal palace in Belgium, having at times lucid intervals, during which it is said, she writes her memoirs She is now in her Seventy-fourth year. With her death will be ended one of the most tragic chapters of history.-New York Times.

THE UNION REvIvAL.-rhe town

of Clifton has the prospect now of
 the greatest revival of it's history.
 The Baptist, Methodist and Presby-
 terian churches are making a united
 effort for the salvation of sinners.
 As has been announced, Evangelist
 Burton A. Hall, of Texas, is leading
 the meetings. MT. Hall is recog-
 nized as one of the strongest aven-
 gelists in the nation. The audiences are unusually large, the singing splendid and although the meetings have only been in progress a half
 week, already men and women are coming out confessing Christ as their Saviour and avowing their de- termination to join the church, take up their cross and live different lives. To hear Rev. Hall one is re- minded of the great revival in Wales. One moment the audience is> convulsed in laughter, the next moment is bathed in tears. The morning, and evening prayer meet ings in the Flat and in North Cliff ton are so largely attended that it is question now of finding private homes large enough to accommodate the crowds. Prof J. Walter Boyd, of Chattanooga, Tenn, will be here in a few days to direct the music General union services every night at the Baptist church.-Contribute

ARIZONA STATE FAIR GIVES GREAT
 PROMISE
Horse Racing Will Be Prominent On Program, and Good Prizes Are
 Offered.

As everyone knows, this great state fair and racing carnival, the week of
 Nov 3-S, closes the great Western
 Circuit and the season of racing on
 the first class mile tracks Only a few years ago Phoenix was shot on
 the map as trotting town, but now
 it is the biggest stop between the
 Mississippi river and the Rocky mountains, as it's track is one of the fastest in the world, some say the fastest, its weather is famous the world over for it's perfection, and the liberal way in which the horsemeu are treated has become proverbial.
 Chicago Horse Review.
 The Western Horsemen predicted State Fair track would from now on be the greatest meeting place and battle grounds between the eastern and western horsemen. This fight will perhaps reach it's crux in the Free for All pace, where the great mare, Leata J, 2:O3, the sensation of the Grand Circuit this year, will meet Don pronto, 2:0215, Joe Patchen II, 2:O3H, and perhaps Jim Logan; 2:O3A, and King Daphne, 2:041s.
 Minnie Chimes, 2:041k, the great sensation of last year is also enter ed in the State Fair races. Jimmie McVay says he proposes to take the scalps of all to decorate his den at Hutchison, Kansas.
 Also Pop" Geers has about made up his mind to bring Anvil, 2:O4A. for the purpose of giving him the stallion record for 1913
 Anvil is considered one of the greatest horses on the Grand Circuit, and he and Pop" Geers love each other like brothers Anvil is owned by Frank Jones, the Tennessee mil lionaire horseman, and money is no item to MT. Jones if he can get record to suit him. This is tae greatest tribute that perhaps was ever paid race track, when a sin gle horse will be sent so far at so much expense to get such a record
 This year the Phoenix Board of Trade has guaranteed a s5000 purse. known to be- the Phoenix Board of Trade Stake, 2:12 trot; and the diff ferent copper companies have con .ributed towards a stake, known as the Copper Stake, this year designat- sd as the 2:10 pace.
 Exhibits in every department will be of better quality and greater quan- -ity than ever before, judging from he present applications made for space at the Secretary's office.
 Premium lists have been sent out 70 the County Fair Commissioners, and to all Boards of Trade in every section of the state, from whom they nay be secured, together with entry blanks Anyone finding it incon- venient to reach their local Board of Trade or County Fair Commissioner, will receive premium lists, entry any other queries by dropping a card to the Secretary Of he Arizona State Fair, Phoenix, Ari. zona.

Attempted HoIdup of Clifton Auto

Attempted HoIdup of Clifton Auto
 mobolists.-Mr. and Mrs. c. P. Dunn, and MT and Mrs. H. O. Tunis, who returned Friday from an auto mobile trip to Fl Paso, were the near victims of an attempted holdup which occurred about midway be- tween Fl Paso and Deming, New Mexico. While returning from Fl Paso, the party were surprised by the appearance of two tramps, who suddenly apeared in the front of the machine, and dourished pis- tols demanding that the party halt. Perhaps their demand would have been granted, had MT Tunis not re- membered that in the machine was a formidable shot gun, which had been used for the purpose of shoot ing game along the way. Grasp ing the gun, MT. Tunis pointed it di- rectIy at the robbers, while MT. Dunn turned on the gasoline to the extreme limit, passing the surprised wicked pair at a rate of speed that reminded one of a Vanderbilt race. The tramps failed of their purpose, but solaced themselves with several shots at the party as the automobile sped swiftly down the road. No injuries were sustained by the Cliff ton people and none by the tramps. as Mr. Tunis failed to load the gun before the display.

RIOS WORKS THE SWITCH

Force of habit, augmented by being intoxicated, was the compelling cause of being arrested on the part Of Peter Rios, Friday afternoon. Peter, for a weary length of time, valiantly stood at the switch on the tracks just east of the postoffice, and dutifully signalled to trains that never appeared. While he was per suaded by friends to desist, he steadfastly refused, stating that he knew his duty, and would do it. Rios is a switchman on one of the A. c. Co.'S slag trains, usually working at night But because of undue in- toxication, he decided that his work extended always. After working manfully at the switch, signalling trains and warning passersby, he was relieved by Officer Keppler, who carried him to the city prison, where he now is recovering.

Two Atlanta Companies VIII Go
To the Inauguration; VIII Raise
Coin by a Big Series of Bouts
L"HE Fifth regiment unfor-

k("HE Fifth regiment unfor-

money with it's military tourna-

of the local militia today, but I'll

Atlanta Grays and the Capital City
Guards don't fail with their boxing
shows-not with Knockout Brown

bout.

The blow to the hopes Of the
Fifth when the military tourna-

was q sumner. Apparently all
hope that the regiment will be able
to make the journey to Washington

men behind the boxing bouts hope
that they win DO able to raise
enough money not only to pay all
their expenses. but to stimulate the
regiment to renewed efforts to get
the necessary amount.
That the Abel Knockout Brown
bout will be a stunning financial
success Is certain. Inquiries for
seats are pouring in even before
the floor has been placed in the
Armory and even before the price
scale has been announced. The
mtlitiamen are counting a lot on

JUDGE KAVANAUGH PUT
IN CLASS WITH BOSSES

LITTLE ROCK, ARK, Jan. IS
Jackson of Randolph created a stir in
the house by presenting a resolution
condemning the candidacy of Judge w.
NJ, Kavanaugh, of Little Rock, for the
short term in the United States senate.
The resolution denounced Judge Kava-
naugh on account of his connection
with the traction company, and de-
clared him to be rs much a represen-
tatiVe of the special interests and boss
rule as Ryan, Belmont or Murphy.
The resolution took the Kavanaugh
men by surprise, and it was read three
times by the clerk before 1t was gener-
ally understood. Sam RoreX, of Yell
then moved that consideration of the
resolution be postponed for fifteen days
This motion prevailed by a vote Of so
to 26, and the resolution can not be pre-
scented again until after the election of

Talk of Allowing Baseball on
Sunday StirS Atlanta Fans;
Local Association Is Neutral

citizens believe that 1t is harmful
to public morals.
But suddenly the ministers called
off their fight.
Why?
They found that they were get
ting their warmest support from
the saloon keepers, who ran wide
open on Sunday, as we'll as every
other day and every night as we'll
when this became apparent, they
stopped and paused.
IF the saloon keepers are against
Sunday ball, is 1t reasonable that 1t
is a bad thing and that we are
against it, too?" they began to ask
each other.
They never made any public
announcement that they had called
1t off. But you will notice that there
hasn't been any interference with
Sunday ball there from that day to
this.
THE Atlanta ball park, situated
as II is, remote from churches,
the business section and the resi-
dence section, is so placed that the
playing of games there should be no
annoyance to people who are likely
to be disturbed by Sunday games.
That crowds by the thousands
would flock out to see Sunday
games anybody will admit. Games
on this day would open the park to
many who, because OF the nature
of their work, can not hope to at
tend on any other day. That they
would be orderly crowds is certain,
for Atlanta has no other kinds and
will not tolerate them under any
circumstances.
THAT Sunday ball would be re-
garded as a great boon by the
amateurs can be safely predicted.
The letting down of the bars would
mean that there would be games on
Sunday at every park in Atlanta.
With the police protection that
Chief Beavers offers, they could be
conducted in an orderly manner.
But will Atlanta have Sunday
ball?
All, that's another question. With
a liberal administration, the thing
is a possibility. There will be a lot
of talk, you can bet, before the
question is decided either way.

SAYS WOLGAST'S
LOSS Of TITLE
WAS CRIME
By Ed. W. Smith.

HICAGO, Jan. 1s.-It's a thing
Of the past and can not be
helped now, but Tom Jones
will never get over feeling that
Referee Griff1n's decision Of foul
in the Richie Wolgast match was
little short of an absolute crime.
Tom dropped his dough on the
match and so did some Of the best
fellows In San Francisco. They all
had confidence in Griffin and
backed wolgast freely on the sup
position that Jim, who has seen a
whole lot of boxing and is well
thought of in San Francisco, would
be fair and square.
Whether he was or not or wheth-
er II was simply a case of losing
his head or worse. Jones does not
know or will not say openly. At
any rate, Jones believes he and
Wolgast were victims of something,
Whatever 1t Wa6
Referee Admits Error.
There was no more foul about
it than there is in any other match
In which both boys are trying des-
perately all the time" Tom Jones
said yesterday.
why, didn't Griffin admit to me
after the battle that ne might have
been wrong and probably was? And
further than that, he even told me
that he didn't see any foul blow
struck, although he was satisfied
that there was low blow. I asked
him If he hadn't warned Ritchie
right along about different things
and he said he had. The upshot of
the whole thing was that ! discov-
cred Griffin hardly knew what he
had seen in the ring that afternoon.
Slim Chance of Return.
But why worry? l wouldn't a
bit if I could see any way Of get
ting Richie back into the ring with
Wolgast. Billy Nolan won't give
us bit of encouragement, but I'm
going to be patient. l have been
told that their tour is a frost and
that after the first night or two
their show does merely the ordina-
ry business. This shows that
Richie is not a success as a cham
pion. So I think they will come
around to our way OF thinking after
a little bit.
Also why worry when real es-
tate is going up so beautifully
around Los Angeles? Wolgast and
I are holding several pretty good
parcels of it. and within the last
eight months our increase in values
more than offsets the chunk of
money we have lost in the last
three months by betting on fights.
We lost a chunk on Flynn, whole
lot more on Palzer, and then our
own battle was a mighty costly af-
fair, thanks to Jim Griffin.
Getting Big Prices.
"Why. only the other day I was
offered $4,000 for fifteen acres of
land that we are holding in a new
subdivision near Los Angeles. 1t
didn't cost us anything like that,
either. Just before l went away I
received $4,000 for a place at Ven
ice that has only a S0-foot front
and is only 90 feet deep. with an
eight-room bungalow on it."
Ad Anxious to Box.
Jones says Wolgast is now in
Portland looking over some inter-
ests he has there and will soon
leave for Chicago and then go to
the farm in Cadillac for a visit with
his people. He says Ad is just as
confident as ever of being master of
Richie and that the talk of his
quitting the long distance boxing
game is idle.
Wolgast will grab off a match
with Richie, Knockout Brown.
Joe Maudot or Joe Rivers
any time he can get one out on the
Pacific coast
