Decoration Fads.

Some one AYERS that the reign of brio
e-brac is over. and the rooms of the rich
and great collectors are being cleared Of
their costly trash. So it may be, for it
Is time to change when the nobodies
decorate their quarters with make be-
heves in art. But, in abandoning brio
a-brac for house ornament, another 1i-
rection is given TO its display, and this is
the dinner table While such exquisite
glass and china exist it will not be rele-
gated to the closets. In Paris the fashion
in table decoration has reached a point
that places it among the arts. Dishes Of
the rarest workmanship, the antiques
which formerly reposed in special cab
met under glass, are now brought forth
and actually used on the table.
They hold fruits, and in their turn are
surrounded by wreaths of roses and VIC
lets, crowned, as it were, for the time
being. Traceries OF flowers are scattered
all over the tablecloth, and among them
are placed precious porcelains, priceless
old Saxony ware, fgurines worthy of
come toy shop in the spheres, so the table
present "a poetic confusion of porcelain
figures and flowers" while at the ent,z
rise those tall stemmed crystal vases that
look like arrested fountains filed with
exotics. Such, then, is one phase of this
new scheme Of decoration in establish
ments where taste and money have been
expended in ceaseless collections. Rric.

METHODIST WOMEN BARRED OUT.

The New York Conference Refuses to
Receive Them "a Members.
Women crowded to the sixth days ses-
sion of the New York Methodist confer
ence in the First Methodist Episcopal
church, Yonkers, for they were greatly
interested in the question under discus
sion, ''Shall women be admitted to the
conference" They went away vastly
disappointed, for the result of the ballot
ing dashed their hopes.
Rev. G.. III. Smith first spoke on the
great question of the day. He favored
the admission of women to the confer
ence, and declared there was nothing in
Scripture which would debar women
from the convention or from sharing in
the highest honors of the church.
W. II. McAnney spoke against the
ladies, who eyed him unfavorably. He
said home was the place for women; the
conference for men. He asked the mem
bers to vote against their admission.
W. H. Mickle addressed the meeting
on the affirmative side of the question,
but DR.. McChesney took the other. lie
questioned the advantage the conference
would derive from the presence of WON
en-. He said that the world had heard q
great deal about the rights of women
but nothing as to what will be accom-
plished by their admission to the confer
ence He asked if the conference woula
call for volunteers for the army would
women enlist? This, he said, they could
not do. as it would be against nature
and it would be equally unnatural to let
them into the conference. DR.. McChesney
closed his remarks thus: eff we maxi
this change, whichever may be the resuk,
it viii cause the people - other churches
to look at it as Il strange and outlandish
action. 1t will ALLEVIATE many of our best
Methodist families from the church"
Rev j. D. Stone said: ''We live in al
age that is nIoving. have never known
that the sex question has been brough!
up in the administration of government
in Europe, nor has woman's intellect
uality been questioned. More than half
who have pledged themselves to so into
foreign lands as missionaries are womer
So women are taking part in the for
ward movement of the world. Let Us
view this question calmly; let US not tilt
against it as so many Quixotes with
lances poised"
DR.. Day followed in the same strain.
DR.. Ge,rge N. McGraw was also il
favor of admitting the women. He said
that there was not passage in the Script
ures forbidding their presence in the
conference, and he wished them there Oh
that account and because of their major
ity in the church. Two-thirds of its mem
beers were women.
"We are told" said Rev. P. j. Ror
nance, ''that if the women are net 40
mitted into the general conference they
will form a new church. If they are adj
mitted bad results viii follow. So, choos
ing the lesser Of the two evils. shall;
vote against their admission"
Rev. A. II. Ferguson said he should
vote on the sisters side of the question
When the debate ended Bishop Fitz
gerald announced that the voting woulc
proceed. 1t was an open ballot by yea
and nays. Two hundred and forty-two
members voted-1S0 against and 62 =
favor of the proposition.-New YorB

Strike in the Mineral King

Superintendent G. Wilfert, of the
Mineral King Mining company, was
down from Silver King this week on
business. He brought with him a few
samples of the ore body he has lately
developed in the Mineral King, which
give very satisfactory assays. The new
strike promises a sufficient supply of
ore to start up the smelter and it will
probably be blown in within a couple
weeks, at which time large force Of
miners will be employed and work push
ed with a purpose and energy that pro-
misses the best results. The discovery
of new body of rich ore in the Silver
King mine to the east OK the former
workings leads to the belief that the
main ore body may yet be found on the
Crispin mine, which adjoins the Silver
King on the east and belongs to the
Mineral King company. Should this
theory be demonstrated as fact, the
Mineral King may yet become the great
mine of that district in its abundant
output. At all events Superintendent
Wilfert is dispososed to push develop
ments as vigorously as a proper regard
for the interests Of his company will
permit.-Enterprise.

How the Country Looks.

E. N. Fish has just returned from his
ranch fifty miles east of town. Mr.. Fish
tells that range is good and his cattle
are fat.
In Mexico, so a late arrival from
there says, dry range and thin cattle
and dead cattle prevail, excepting only
the region between Hermosillo and
Nogales, where conditions are similar
to the valley farther north.
In the Santa Rosa valleyI region,
north OF Poso Bueno, cattle are reported
IN better condition than IN the sur
rounding region. Feed is also fair.
From San Pedro the report comes
Of very fair crops. Corn cutting has
begun Corr and beans were slightly
cut by the frost of Oct. I'd, and beans
Will not be over three-quarters crop
in consequence, Stock are not in good
condition generally, neither is feed at

Prom Tombstone.

James Reilly has sued the city for
$500, being al assigned claim from Good
rich & Smith under contract with the
city to fight the Mountain Maid mining
patent and defeat it. The attorneys re-
ceIyed $500 in cash and tie balance o.
the $1,000 was to be paid Oh the setting
aside of the patent.
James Price who accidently cut the
calf of his leg open while mounting his
saddle few days ago at San Bernadlno
ranch, submitted to the amputation OF
lis leg this morning. The operation
was performed by DIR. Goodfellow, assis-
ted by Dr. Huse. The limb was taken
off just above the ;knee. 1t was impos-
sible TO save the limb, and to save his
life amputation was necessary. The
age of the patient is 90 years. He was
feeling as well as could be expected this
afternoon.
The news was received in Tombstone
on Sunday last, that j. E. Durkee, in a
fit of mental alteration, attempted to
kill himself at Los Angeles. No partic
ulars being received, it was deemed best
to say nothing of it until the story had
been substantiated. The Los Angeles
Express of Saturday afternoon, publish
es the particulars Of the affair, which
leaves no doubt of his intention to do
bodily harm to himself.
Mr.. Durkee was man in middle life,
has large property interests in this
county and in Arizona. He is married
and the news of his rash attempt to take
his life will be received with regret by
his large circle of friends. A year or so
ago Mr.. Durkee was at the Nardeau and
gave evidence that he was not in his
right mind.
George Mcpherson was quite severely
hurt yesterday while returning from
Tucson. When few miles this side of
Tucson and while the train was in mo-
ton, he dropped a So piece on the
ground from his hand. He was stand
ing on the platform at the time and
without a second thought he went after
the money. In alighting he lost his bal
ance and struck the ground all over,
cutting his head quite severely. His
brother Joe, accompanied by Frank
Moore, went down TO Benson in response
to telegram and returned this morn
ing at o'clock. They found the in
iured man resting easily and apparently
unhurt with the exception of his bruised
head, which seemed to cause him TO be
irrational and out of his right mind.
Another story is that George did not
want to leave Tucson but that he was
persuaded against his wishes to get
aboard, and at the first opportunity
jumped off. At any rate he is In Tomb
stone and in good order with the ex-
ception of sore head, and will be on
duty again in few days.

Suit for $4,000 Damages.

Damages to the amount of S150O0'are
claimed by Pedro Brichta of the South
ern Pacific company, for injuries sus-
tanned at the shops severa. months ago
The complaint sets forth that Brichta
was in great danger of his life for six
weeks during which period he was suf-
fered great anguish. That he is now to-
tally incapacitated for work and may be
for life, and that his life may be short
ened by his injuries.
It is also claimed that the accident
was due 90 the carelessness of other en-
ployees of the company, and that he was
not warned Of any danger and was in a
position where he could not know Of
any danger, his head being within the
smoke stack, which collided with the
door three inches above it.
Judge Lowell and Gen. Rouse are Mr..
Brichta's attorneys.

A Shoplifter Detected.

Shopllfters are not very frequent in
Tucson, but one turned up yesterday.
She was Mexican and would like to
buy some dry goods. She wore a large
black shawl. Improving what she
thought to be a good opportunity she
slipped another shawl under the one she
wore. She made her purchases--a dol
lar and forty cents worth-and then the
clerk wanted to sell her some shawls.
No, she didn't care for any shawls. But
the shawls were fine and they were her
size and she should try one on. Suiting
the word and the action the clerk
removed her shawl-to try on the third
one, of course. And behold there was
shawl No. ?. She was not long in leay-
ing.

The Silver King Strike

Superintendent Champion, of the Sill
YER King, recently started work on
new shaft at the summit OF d conlcal
hill to the east OF the old working
short distance and at the depth OF less
than twenty feet an ore body was Ell
countered Identical in all particulars 10
the old Silver King bonanza, but more
plentitully supplied with sheets OF
native silver. The best ore is being ship
ped and the rest piled up with view to
soon starting up the mill at Pinal. just
how great the body OF ore is cannot tee
determined until it is further exploited,
but its discovery at this point proves
the correctness of the judgment of many
practical miners who always commended
shat the work was going away from the
main ore body.

GRAND CANYON MINES.
A Company of Denver Capitalists
Formed to Develop them.

The Colorado Grand Canyon Mining
and Improvement company is the title
OF a recently organized company moor
porated under the laws of the state Ui
Colorado, with capital stock of $780,
600, with A. A. Mcknight, A. III. Gar
field, Franklin Morey, A. j. Gregory
Elmer Kane, II. B. Illus aud J. s. Best
as incorporatogs. This objects for which
the said corporation is formed is to &C
quire by purchase or otherwise mines
or mining properties, and to work, tun-
mel and develop the same, and to pro-
vide and erect the necessary buildings
machinery and appliances therefor; and
TO construct, own and operate toll roads
in the territories of Arizona and Utah,
and to own and operate ferries across
the Colorado river, own boats etc, and
charge toll for the use Of the same. The
principal Office of the company is to be
in Denver, Colorado.
The articles of Incorporation, certi-
fed to by the secretary of the state Of
the state of Colorado, were filed with
Recorder Bush for record on Monday
last, together with a resolution OF the
board of directors Of the company con-
pany constituting Fred U. Bunker, of
Flagstaff then authorized agent in for
the county of COconino, territory of Ar
iona.
Should this company go ahead and
take such steps as is proposed in ite ar
ticles of incorporation, the benefit that
Flagstaff must derive cannot be overes-
timated. The fact that rich mines exist
in the depths of the Grand Canyon is
beond doubt, and the sooner some COM
pany OF capitalists commence working
them that much sooner will q railroad
be constructed from Flagstaff to the
canyon. 1t is stated that the incorpor-
ators of the Colorado Grand Canyon
Mining and Improvement company are
men of means, and that ere another year
passes active work will be well under
way.-Cocouino Sun.

fne werewolf.

Were-wolves oman wolves), accord
ing to a superstition very prevalent
during the dark ages" were persons
who had the power Of Transforming
themselves into wolves or other fierce
beasts, retaining human intelligence,
coupled with all the ferocity of beasts
Of prey. Persons who believe in were
wolves were of the opinion that the
hair grew inward, and that the human
being possessed of such qualities had
but to turn himself inside out to effect
the wonderful metamorphosis. The
superstition is traceable to the classical
fable of Lykaon. Like the poor wretehes
who were burned and otherwise put to
death for witeheraft, those suspicioned
of being weIe-wolves were crucified or
broken on the wheel after first being
hayed alive by the superstitious ex-
ecutors, who were in search of the sup
