Steel stocks. strong points yesterday, were again favorites. A severe break in Chesapeake X Ohio effectively checked the movement Announcement after the close yes terday of s35,000,000 issue of five per cent. notes caused the stock to sell off two points at the opening today Later it became known that the terms of the issue provided that SIT 900 900 be set aside out of the earnings during the next five years for improvements and betterments and these expenditures are to be made before dividends are paid. As Chesapeake & Ohios surplus the last fiscal year after payment of divi- dends. was only s159,000. it was thought this new obliga tion impair ed the prospect of continued dividend payments and the stock sold off abruptly.

 P. J. Miller, who with Messrs Young and Stafford. installers of the system in Phoenix. went to Tucson Monday, returned last evening to Phoenix When the same men went to Tucson on former occasion the mayor and council asked additional time to con- slider, but on this trip, the proposition to install. was at once accepted
 AS soon as the decision of value the city on the Somers basis was reached. a map of the city was drawn, and the preliminary work of installation was begun.
 It is the intention of the state tax commission, to install the system not alone in Tucson and Phoenix, but in all other cities in the state. Installation in the other cities will be commenced at once, in the event time permits. Otherwisl the matter will be taken up by the commission when that body meets as a board of equalization.

 One of the wonderful things about this collection of films that is not gen orally known, is that the picture of the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius is an actual reproduction of that won derful mountain in action That part of the picture was taken two years ago, and the shadows of the camera men as they get out of the way of the running lava, can actually be seen.

SERMON OF MONOSYLLABLES

Dr. Smythe Palmer but recently preached at Wanstead, England d sermon composed entirely of words of one syllable. This feat would probably be impossible in any other European language.
 Swift complains that English is overstocked with monosyllables, and this fact forms the basis of one oi Heine's diatribes against our nation.
 May the devil fly away with the people and their language, too" he writes in Transatlantische Leise.' They take a dozen monosyllabio words into their jaws, crack them spit them out again, and this they call speaking
 Still. this abundance of monosylla- bles lends admirable effect to martial verse, witness Campbells lines: By that dread name we wave the sword on high
 And swear with her to live-for her to die.

CHORUS GROWS;
 SINGS BETTER
Second Meeting of Revival Shows Increased Attend ance and Better Singing More Chairs to Be Added for Crowds.

The wonderful chorus that is be- ing organized for the entire time of the great Brown and Curry meeting was better in voice and larger in numbers last night than it was the night before Prof Curry, rested somewhat from his hard campaign in Pomona, which he has just fin ished. and from the fatigues of the trip here, showed how easy it is for him to handle a body of singers, and how he can get them to join with him in singing stirring gospel songs before during. and after the service.
 More people attended than on the first night. It was conservatWely es- timated that no less than 1900 per son swere packed in the great tenn porary auditorium. All the seating capacity that had been provided was taken, and the committee on ar engagements will get busy today and get in more chairs, so that mor5 people can get in to hear the message of the preacher and the message of the singing.
 Further than this. the partition moved and more room thus provided for it is estimated that if the at tendance keeps up as it promises tC do already, great deal more space will be needed than has been provided. Last evening being mucn warmer than the other nights, the house was more comfortable
 The subject of the preacher. Rev John E. Brown, was Who Is On the Lords Side?" and as he promised the first evening" ii was really the initial sermon of the, evargelistic campaign. The utterance was in- tended to prepare those who have looked upon the meeting with moiC curiosity than sincerity of desire fol a great revival, and to instruct stil others, that a definite stand must be taken for righteousness as against the powers of evil.
 As is customary with MT Brown the sermon was divided into thret principal parts: organization (sep- aratiom. unity and aggressiveness simple. plain. straightforward, vel convincing, the sermon impressed many.
 The solo of Professor Curry was My Lord Watches Over Me" an( vas sung with feeling and under standing. For thirty minutes after the service, the chorus sang for tn, benefit of the great crowd. at the same time familiarizing themselve. with the new song book

Three Events Out of Six Taken by County City Wins Two and One is Left Over Because No One Showed Up

With the Stanley F. Morse soil lec ture going on in the lobby and the court house and city hall struggling nix Y. NJ. C. A. was pretty busy place last night
 In billiards and pool the two teams divided honors. In bowling the city hall won handsomely. The court house won the volley ball. Maricopa licked Phoenix in checkers by default and neither showed up in the chess department. The total score by events thus reads:
 City hall .................... , With a large and joshful crowd standing around, the billiard game was conducted under difficulties. The admiring comments of the bystanders threw Bill Wallace of the county treasurer's office off his game but the only effect the applause had on City Recorder Frank Thomas was to make l him chew the edge of his buckskin ! mustache Thomas won from Wal | lace. 100 to 76.
 Tom Shaughnessy won the pocket billiard match from C. G. Norris of the city hall by two games straight, showing that. Maricopa county chose well her champion against the city of Phoenix.
 Bowling The scorer of the bowling contest 1 was so busy watching em fall that he failed to find more than the grand totals for The Republicans s ! otherwise complete tally of events. City hall-Branard, Peck, Thomas, | Norris, Woods Total. 579 ! Court house-Wallace, Erhardt, Ricketts, Penix, Macdonald Total, l 454

 hall was we'll worsted at volley ball. 1 Now J. Fred Powell of the city wa
