FREIGHT RATE ON CEMENT HAS BEEN
 REDUCED ID S6. .40

Twohy Brothers yesterday received a telegram from Judge Twohy at San Francisco stating that the freight rate on cement had been reduced to s6. 40, which is the Tucson rate from California points. That was the rate to Phoenix at the time of the award ing of the contract and there was prospect then of a reduction of the rate for the highway contract to s4. The highway contract was awarded on that basis. the county agreeing to make good to the contractors any payment of freight computed son a rate in excess of s4.
 But later the rate was increased by 25 per cent to Ss so that there was an excess to be refunded to the con- tractors of a little more than $204,- 900 at the time of the completion of 116 miles of the program.
 The telegram mentions only the re- duction of the rate, nothing of the reparation to the county for excess charges. That matter is now before the interstate commerce commission along with a complaint against the unreasonableness of the rate.

whose arms were not filled with bundles, and empty. too, was the automobile which did not contain on the back seat tell-tale packages to forecast the happiness of the dawn of Christmas Day. Bundles Of all shapes and sizes, packages of every kind and description, hiding thou sands of gifts of a thousand kinds these were the outward and visible signs of the inward ioyousness or the day. It was Christmas Eve the one day which holds the hearts of all men and leads them back to the paths of happiness and goodness in the company of a little child.
 It was a busy day, too. The stores and shops of the city were filled from morning until night with patrons. Proprietors and clerks entered into the spirit of the day with vim not because it was good business day, but because no one can evade the happiness of service on Christ mas Eve. Mothers and wives and sweethearts spent happy moments in cigar stores and mems furnishing shops and other places peculiarly set apart for the sterner sex; while fathers and brothers and lovers were as conspicuous in those stores where
 
 in the year. The children-and it is for these that Christmas means most-were conspicuous rather by their absence. for it is we'll known fact that Santa Claus does not visit | homes where the kiddies do not let their elders do their Christmas shop
 ping unmolested on the great day before"
 The busiest place in the city, how
 ever, and the busiest for weeks, was l the postoffice and it's sub station or
 East Washington street. The post | office men and women are the mos | efficient and important of all the as l sistants of St. Nicholas, and it is { matter of pride for all Phoeniciani that their postoffice has kept cleanl! abreast of all the extra work of th' 1 holiday season, with the result tha 1 every package that should have beel l delivered yesterday was in the hand
 of the addresses before night. Tn postoffice will be closed an day to
 day, but the regular deliveries vii
 be made Monday, while the window
 will be open from 8 o'clock in tn

FIRST PENTECOSTAL
 MISSION CHRISTMAS FUR POOR TOMORROW

Christmas exercises and cheer for the poor tomorrow evening will bring to a close a year of unprecedented growth and activity for the First Pentecostal mission, located in the old Republican building at Second and Adams streets The mission is a charity and benevolent organization as well as a religious one.
 The missions Christmas celebra- tion will begin at 7:30 o'clock Mon- day night. The spacious assembly hall has been appropriately decorat- ed. and everything possible has been done to make the occasion a happy one for all who attend. At the close of a short program by the Sunday school, candy. fruit and hot sand wiches will be given, and 1t Is hoped that every person in Phoenix who has not had a Christmas will attend. As the pastor of the mission. the Rev. H. L. Faulkner. explained yesterday:
 While the things that are to be given out are small, they represent a
 great deal. We are endeavoring to make this an occasion of cheer to the heart more than anything else.
 No cards or tickets are necessary and we want everyone to come who has missed his or her bit of Christ mas cheer"
 While up until this year, on ac- count of not having suitable loca- 1 tion, the mission has not given any particular attention to the cause oi
 charity except in an ordinary way | during the last six months the so- ciety has witnessed some marked i'm provements along these lines.
 Although the mission consists oi
 only a few members as compared tc
 other organizations, and has no en-
 dowment fund or other financia | backing except such as is cheerfulll l given by it's members and friends, i

Eve of Merry England. with Mir. Pickwick overflowing with geniality, jovial under the influence of rich Christmas punch; the Christmas Eve which is the icy lands under the Northern Lights or in the flowers and sunshine of equatorial regions has for 20 centuries brought the message of goodwill to men and turned their thoughts to the giving of glory to the Creator of all things.
 Christmas Eve, however, always has a particular significance in the city in which one happens to live, and applies in this case especially to Phoenix. No one, even had he just awakened from a seven years sleep, could not have sensed yesterday that the annual festival of good cheer was at hand. From early morning until late at night the belated Christmas S shoppers-and who is not a belated Christmas shopper, and who does not want to buy at least a few of his or her Christmas gifts on the very night before the festival - crowded the streets of the business section with thousands of others.

GEN. \. J. SAMPSON
 QUICKLY FOLLOWS
 WIFE ID THE GRAVE

Closely following the death of his wife, General Archibald J. Sampson passed away yesterday afternoon at his home here. $50 North Third ave- nue. He was S2 years of age.
 Through the unceasing efforts and patient care of Mrs. Sampson. Gen. eral Sampson recovered a short time ago from a severe attack of pneu- monia, but through the shock of her death about a month ago he suf- fered relapse which proved fatal.
 About six weeks ago General Sampson returned from an extended visit to his old home near Austin berg, Ohio. On the trip westward he contracted a severe cold which de veloped into pneumonia and detained him for several days in Chicago. Re covering to some extent, he continued the journey home and arrived here in a devitalized condition.
 General Sampson was known throughout the nation as one of the leading lights of his party. Although native of Ohio he regarded Phoenix as his home in later years and had many ranch and mining interests in the Salt River valley. In 1897 he received the signal honor of being appointed envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to Ecuador
