 The chapel may well be called work of art. It is large enough to accommodate a large funeral. and has been furnished simply but in excellent taste. The decorations harmonize in every detail. A seven-foot Wainscoat- ing, cement finished, to initiate leather, blends into the walls, which are of plain simple color The decorator, Harry Kirchefer, showed his form in the decorations at the top of the walls, which although not gorgeous, are beautiful. An art glass in the ceiling completes the design and makes it artistic.
 All modern cOnVeniences are found in the building. The lighting, sew craze, heating and general finish are strictly up to date. Two rooms with bath have been fitted up on the sec ond floor for the attendants. Two large morgues have been arranged, and both are entirely sanitary. The

LOCAL UNDERTAKERS HAVE
 HANDSOME NEW MORTUARY

Mohn, DriscoIl and Maus, funeral directors, are in their new building on First avenue, the first funeral having been held Sunday morning from their chapel. The undertaking parlors which are located at 311 to 315 North First avenue, are the finest in the state. The location is most desirable. While it is but a block from the busiest part of the city, it is so situated as to make it quiet and the street is uncrOWded. Looking forward to the time when the busi- ness district will pass beyond the building, a fine private drive has been built. MOurners can step from their carriages to the reception room without going into the street and the driveway affords a place for the car riages to stand without blocking the street The front of the building stands well back from the street and

 While the building is not construct ed entirely from Arizona products, it is nearly so. The cement was made in Arizona as were the tile and brick The stone in the walks comes from local quarries. Lumber from Co., conino predominates, the maple floor having been shipped in from another state. The builders were instructed to give home products the prefer ence and a large portion of those used came from within the borders of the state. Simplicity seems to have been the aim of the architect,

 Followers of the knights of the pad ded fist are of the opinion that Welch and Leach Cross, the New York dent ist, are the only two men now in Am erica who have any chance whatever of taking the crown away from the Frisco boy. Before his recent fight with Rivers, Ritchie had been placed in the undesirable class by pugllistic fandom because of his apparent lack of desire to risk his. title against any dangerous contender, in long dis tance fight. sIt.is hoped that he will lose no time in answering the chal- lengss hurleda at hif head by Cross, and the Enelishman.

STAGE ILLUSIONS.
Not the Least of These Are the Ban
 quets on the Boards.


 Nothing is so deceptive as the stag, meal, although the art of the propert man makes such repasts appear de liciously appetizing.
 A favorite stage substitute for mca, is sponge cake. which cut into the shape of outlets or steaks and judi ciously Drowned witt. sauce. presents @, most genuine appearance. The ad vantage of such material is that it ie easy for the actors to consume anc does not present any difficulties to tn, carver
 Outlets composed of sit toast are also popular in stage culinary circles and when decorated with dainty paper frills and parsley look quite the req! thing.
 Do not let your mouth water at the sight of those dainty slices of ham re. posing on lettuce leaves on the barcn's festive board. Ham is invariably rep resented on the stage by strips of limo ieum the reddish under side of which makes q convincing substitute for the real article. As to the surrounding let tuce, that is generally represented by white leaves from the humble cab bage
 The larger and more impressive the stage edible. the greater the fake Huge pies which when cut produce cloud of realistic steam are absolutely uneat- able, The crust is merely colorcd pa. pier mache, which incloses dish of hot water and sometimes few boiled potatoes. which supply the necessary steam. The big sirloin of beef. which apparently weighs pounds, has abott six ounces of eatable meat about it. The joint Is wooden affair, over which few thin slices of genuine beef arc placed, giving the impression of a -eally f1nc piece of meat.
 Were you to obtain peep behind the scenes just before banquet scene was to be staged you would find number of stage hands buslly slicing up toma toes and bananas You would see those slices being laid out on plates sur rounded with parsley or white cabbage leayeS. Under the glare of the lime light this dish assumes an astonishnc resemblance to4lohster salad, and in similar fashion sliced banana is q gen oral substitute for fish, entrees and hors d'oeuvre.

TARIFF BILL MAY

Washington, July 12.-Delay in get ting at Tariff legislation seems to be the fate of Democratic party leaders Ill the senate. Chairman Simmons. of the finance committee, may not be able to have his report on the bill and hls statement of estimated receipts ready by Wednesday as announced by him yesterday.
 "Io properly study this bill and as- sure ones self that he is absolutely accurate in his statemnt, | find a very difficult thing to do within the time 1 set when l suggested next Wednesday for the commencemnt of debate on thls measure, said Senator Simmons this afternoon. q have worked eigh teen out of twenty-four hours of the day since the bill was acted mon Inv the caucus, but 1 am apprehensive that when the senate adjourns Monday l must ask it to adjourn until Thurs day instead of Wednesday, as we had planned"
 Senator Simmons said today he had absolutely no fear of the success of the passage of the bill through the senate. Some Democratic senators expressed the belief that were it not for the ag- ricultural schedule and free wool that number of the Republican Pro- gressives would support the measure as fair representation of their de- mands for Tariff revision Progress sive opposition to the heavy cut in farm products is diminishing.

SUPERVISION READY
 FOR ARCTIC DASH

Nome, Alaska, July 12.-Vilhjalmar Stefansson expects to leave Nome on the polar exploration ship Karluk to- morrow, going as far as Port Claresce, the best harbor on Seward Peninsula, where the engines will be given a thorough oyerhauling and inspection before the vessel sails through Ber- ing Strait for her three-year stay in the Arctic. One hundred tons of the best coal available is being loaded on the deck of the old whaler.
 Thirty dogs for the party were bought today by Scotty Allan, the Alaskan dog expert and racing driver. A 50-horsepower launch also was bought today for the Karluk and a launch was purchas- ed for the auxiliary boat Alaskan, which will carry the southern party under Dr. R. M. Anderson to Victoria Land.
 Stefansson is meeting many old friends of the Arctic here.
