 Face Trial on Felony Charge, Says Court.

The arraignment of George Finn charged with a felony in the theft of ' a team of horses from Joe w. Hill at this place on December 7th,
 brought out the rather peculiar cir
 cumstance of making of Zinn's wife the court which shall determine
 whether the derelct spouse shall be given his liberty or whether he shall
 be compelled to stand trial on the serious charge, with the evidence strongly against him.
 According to Zinn's statement. he is addicted to the use of morphine
 which in the minds of the plaintiff as well as the officers who have had anything to do with the case, is the | principal cause of the predicament One of the important characteristics of Finn is that, he is, or has been, a devotee of the matrimonial market, | in that he has won the interest of a | number of women in various parts of
 the United States This latter state | ment is made by a cursory glance at a stack of letters carried by Finn in his coat pockets. from ladies of re- finement and good taste throughout the country. Not only has he num- erous letters but a number of ma Strimonial papers, which guarantee sa- | tisfaction or money refunded.
 However Finn contends that while ! he was in correspondence with a
 number of ladies for pastime the wo- man he selected to be his life partner 1 was not chosen that way. He claimed | that he met her in Kansas years ago and that when he walked out from Roosevelt to her home in Pleasant Valley the old love was rekindled | which by rapid strides soon found house.

 be given in the interest of charity for the poor of Tempe and for the
 help of the needy in grief stricken
 Belgium is an attraction which will cater to the attention of Tempe peo- pie on New Years eve. The plan was formally launched yesterday morning and even before evening, the committee in charge had received a pretty good idea of what they will be able to depend upon in the way of entertainment for that occasion. Lit erary. musical and dramatic talent of the town will be called upon princi- pally.
 That the plan of the municipal en-
 tertainment will meet with hearty response from the townspeople was readily manifested yesterday. Every one approached on the subject was heartily in sympathy with the move ment and have pledged every possi- ble aid to make the entertainment an unprecedented success.
 The idea of New Year eve pro- gram will offer almost double Christmas to the poor of Tempe for while other communities are promot- I ing the municipal program on Christ mas eve, each of the Tempe churches will be holding their annual meetings and every person in town, young and old, will be urged to attend and made welcome at any church in town. Then a week later, on New Years eve, jointly the churches and citizens will
 conduct the municipal entertainment. All of our boys and yonths suits and pants are going at 259o off. Get in on these bargains now while they last. RYDER, Tempe. It

THE IMMENSELY OF RUSSIA.

Merely by way of experimenting the
regular appropriations for the Russian
army the cars government has added
$50, 0O0, 600 to the usual estimates for
that great engine of war. Europe is
gravely discussing extensive changes
and improvements in the equipment
and organization of the Russian artil-
Siery, especially, and Germany and
Austria-Hungary are carefully noting
the reports of the massing Of Russian
troops near their frontiers.
All such incidents direct attention
to the huge bulk of the Russian EN-
pire. 1t is by far the greatest con-
nected territory under any flag. The
only empire more extensive is that of
Great Britain. which lies in widely
separated Iarts of the earth. The pop
ulation of Russia's vast realm is much
greater than that of any other country
Inhabited by people chiefly of Euro
pean blood or origin.
The Russian standing army Is bv
Tar the largest in the world. The Rus
sian revenues are also greater than
those of any other nation, though not
larger than those Of all parts Of the
British empire taken together. Rus
ssia grows the biggest wheat crop in
the world and the largest rye crop.

Vermont at that time claimed to be
independent and was not, strictly
speaking, a part Of the United States

Besides his Narrative, Ethan Allen
also wrote A Vindication of the Oppo-

Their Right to Form An Independent
State, written in 1873, and Reason the

of Moses and the prophets. 1t would
be unjust to bring against it the
charge of having effected great mis-

AUTHORS.
isabella Macdonald Alden.

Isabella Macdonald Alden. known
to the world as "Pansy,"' was born in
Rochester, N. Y, in 1871. She was
educated in Ovid and Auburn. N. Y.
From 1883 until 1895 she edited
Pansy, a Juvenile periodical which
was exceedingly popular throughout
the land. From the name OF this
magazine she eventually took her nom
de plume by which she was known in
almost every American home.
She is the author OF a series Of
books known as Pansy Books. in adj
dition to works for older readers,
among the most celebrated Of which
is The Prince of Peace. ~ .
Elizabeth Akers Allen.
Elizabeth Akers Allen, author of
the famous poem Rock Me- to Sleep,
was born at Strong, Me-, in 1889. Her
maiden name was Elizabeth Akers
Chase.
Rock Me to Sleep, Mother, was the
first poem that won her widespread
fame and seems to be the only thing
by which she is generally remembered.
This poem was afterward included in
a volume of verse entitled The Silver
Bridge and Other Poems, issued under
the p~seudonym of Florence Percy. It
was published in 1866.
Ethan Alien.
Ethan Allen was born in Connecti-
cut in 1889. Both the cities of Rox-
bury and Litchfield. that state, claim
to be his birthplace.
In 1859 he removed to what later
became Vermont but which was then
known as the New Hampshire Grants
from the fact that the most Of the
land had been granted to settlers, in
Guiding Allen, by the governor of New
Hampshire. The governor of New
York, however, claimed jurisdiction
over the territory on the basis of it's
charter and declared the grants issued
by the governor. of New Hampshire
null unless confirmed by the New 7 ork
authorities.
In the dispute that arose Ethan AL
lens rugged personality, his buster
ing self-confidence, his native force Of
character and his shrewdness-in gen.
eral his natural capacity for gaining
ascendency in a community of from
tiersmen-brought him to the front
and he was the most conspicuous
leader Of those who by argument and
even to some extent by physical force
(Allen being in command of the Green
Mountain Boys) resisted what were
regarded as the entertainments Of
New York.
Soon after the outbreak Of the war
for independence, at the head of a
force which he had organized, he
captured Fort T~iconderoga, forcing the
British commander to surrender Gin
the name of the Great Jehovah and
the Continental Congress-" and a
short time afterwards he served under
Gen. Richard Montgomery in Canada,
being captured by the British near
Montreal on Sept. 25. 1875. He was
not exchanged until May, 1878.
During his captivity he seems to
have been treated with the utmost rig
or and to have suffered various indig-
mites at the hands of the British, all
of which ne described with character
istic force of expression in his Nara
Etive of Colonel Ethan Aliens Captiv-
ity. written in 1879. This has been an
extremely popular book and has ap-
Ipeared in numerous editions.
After his return he devoted himself
to the cause of Vermont in the old
controversy with New York and be-
tween 1879 and 1888 coquetted with
General haldimand, the British gov
