afternoon, the heat eeemed greater
than ut arr previous hour of the day
The atmosphere glowed like furnace.
Hugo black clouds were rolling up to-
ward the zenith; there was low and
ominous rumb]ing. Through the thick
dust the perspiring pedestrian toiled
on. A hand-sachel was his only lug
gage, which he now carried under his
arm. 1t had never once been out oi
his possession since tho commencement
of his journey.
He met no person; he passed but ono
house, which was remote from the high
way.
The storm suddenly burst forth. A
lurid glare of lightning shot from the
great bank of clouds in the west; there
was terrific roll of thunder, and in
stantly the air was dark with deluge
of rain. The wind rose and howled
dismally, driving great sheets of falling
water before it.
Wet through, unable to see tho road
before him, terrified by the fury and
euddenness Of the storm, Mason Bel
mont struggled on. He was unused to
such adventures; what to most men
would have been merely >sagrecable
was to him positively alarming.
The storm seemed to increase in fury.
The distressed wayfarer marked by the
glare of tho lightning leafy oak somo
distance ahead. He pressed on toward
1T for refuge, when stream of fire
smote the tree. splintering its stout
trunk, while n ball of fire danced along
the ground. The wayfarcr was rooted
to tho gound with terror. He tried to
to cry out; after repeated efforts he
succo edcd in uttcring word.
"Hilloa!"
"Hilloa yoursclfw
To his surprise and delight, his cry
was immediately answered. The next
CLEAN of lightning showed man stand
ing SO near him that the fingers Of his
outstretched arm would have touched
him.

wears corsets on the stage. It's impossi-
bic, she AYERS, for woman to be graceful
in corsets, She wears instead a garment

Boston's ceusors class Mr.. Kendall as
not any better than a first-class walking
gentleman, with an easy stage presence,
graceful, and all that sort of thing
naturally gained after score of years
experience on the stage. Mrs. Kendall was
rated aS.not so good or so artistic as Az

Fancies for Men and Wo-
men in Morning and
Evening Dress.
SACKS RETURNING TO FAVOR.
Ashes OF Lilac a Very New Fad--
NeWmarkets and Mother
Hubbards.

One who is considered good Judge in
the matter of dress says that men will
eventually go back to the old-timed style
of dressing. and will go TO .businessin a
frock coat and knee brooches, or better
still, in Roman toga and tunic. This
backward progression may perhaps ar
rive with the millennium, but for the pres
ent am safe to say that the style OF garb
now worn by men is satisfactory enough
for them to be in no precipitous haste to
revolutionize dress and adopt what all
women of. good Judgment are doing
dress reform.
WHAT MEN WEAR.
1t is at least quite certain to say that
this winter men will be seen in double
breasted sack coats while attending to
business. These will be fashionable for
all business suits, and will be made of
broad-ribbed black diagonal or black
cheviot or Thibet cloth. The vest should
match the coat, but the trousers are col
ored, either striped or checked II col
ored business suit is preferred, checked
or striped cheyiots or tWeeds are given
the preference.
The double breasted sack coat is con-
sidered more stylish than any other. but
single breasted ana CuJdWay cOalS OCCd-
slonally appear The very wide trousers
are not now worn and these garments are
now being made of medium width. Dark
blue or slate gray striped trousers are
considered most appropriate to wear with
rough goods and plain goods, such as dark
cheviots.
At afternoon weddings, for the bride
groom, best man and usherS, the frOck
coat suits are considered the correct dress.
The coat and vest are alike and the
trousers should be striped and either one
of the blue-gray shades now popular, or
light lavender.
FULL DRESS REMAINS THE SAME.
But little change is noticed in full dress
suits, which are worn only at night
Fine diagonals and Thibets are used to
make the entire suit. Vests OF white
worsted or Mdrseilles, some with a deli
cate vine of embroidery bordering them,
are often " orn and look verv well. The
vest is cut very low and three studs in
the shirt bosom is displayed. The coat
has not altered from last year in length;
it is rolled very low and is faced with
silk.
Oyercoats are worn of medium length
and single breasted ones are considered
most stylish. These have fly fronts and
are deliberately faced with silk.
Heavy cheviots in broad double dag
onal are used for cape coats. These are
lined with bright plaids and are the most
stylish coat there is for evening wear.

CREPE DE CHINE TRIUMPHANT,

Society," Receptions, Visits
and Dances.

This social season is considered by some
pre=eminently brillient. No doubt it is,
for the social events which have occurred
have eclipsed those of many seasons past.
Although the number of importantevents
have been much larger in November, the
smaller affairs SO welcome to fill up the
tedious space between the greater ones
have been few and far between, although
ample time has been left for them. Few
theatre parties have taken place, and
e,1chre parties have quite fallen out of eX-
istence But receptions have been max
ing up for the lost opportunities of previ-
Gus seasons, and have been of remarkable
bffliisney.

Autumn Courtship.


In meads where lamblSins used to sport,
No sportive lambs We see;
The nights are long, the days are short,
And so, alas. are we.
At morn the rooster later crows,
Paid offs the yachting crew;
Again the nor, Worcester blows,
The politician, too
Against the pane the raindrops beat,
The hunter beats the wood
In cosy parlor Iovers meet,
And it is meet they should.
Ard close together there they sit,
A situation grand,
And while her gentle heart goes pit
A-pat he pats her hand.
O witching hours, o honeyed love
Who cares that summers flown
When one beside the parlor stove
Can sit and hold his own? III

NOT READY FOR STATEHOOD.

We trust that the zeal with winch our lawmakers have forced the initia- tory move toward Statehood upon us will be judiciously ceunteracted when the decisive point IS reached which shall rest the fate of the constitution on the judgment ot the voter. In the opinion of our nest conservative authorities this impulse toward the onerous re spensibilities of Statehood IS premature. While the stability of Arizona's resources are fully proven, she has not yet reached plane of de- velopmeet adequate to the responsl- bilities and expenses that directly fol- low the severance of the bond through which we draw vitality and sustenance from the maternal Federal bosom.
 Nothing can be gained by breath less, reckless, scramble through the portals leading in the Union. Nature seldom rushes matters; this IS an ln- stance in which her methods may be preiitably observed. When all the conditions of Arizona fully conform to the requirements of Statehood, her entry into that dignilied capacity will will be marked with more prepriety, and met with more approval by older sisters than should she essay such a momeuteus step Tn her present callow immaturity. Let Arizona wait.Hoof and Horn.

While the opposition to the creation of a State for Arizona is yet in the bud, it is evident from the well con sidered articles which recently ap- peared in the Southwestern Stockman and the Hoof and Horn, that, at least, a centrariety of opinion Tn regard to the expediency of the measure exists in both Northern and Southern Ari- zona, which IS likely to become for midable and result Tn the defeat of the utOpian measure, conceived by politicians for their special advance ment and support at the expense of an already overtaxed community, with out the fainteSt conception of the source from which fund IS te be de- rived to support State.
