old Board of Directors Retire and the
 New Takes Possession.


 New Takes Possession.
 The Territorial Normal School yester- day passed under new management, the old Board of Directors retiring from office. At meeting in the Normal School bnilding Messrs. Hart, McClin- tock and Peters, the appOinlive men- bers relieved, formally turned over 10 their successors the books and other property of the institution, after audit ing the accounts to date and putting all the affairs pf the school into such order that the new board might enter upon it's duties untrammelled.
 Oi the newly-appointed members there were present at the meeting Will liam Christy, J. II. Bruomell and A. J. Ha!bert. Organization was effected by the election Ul Mir. Broomell as presl- dent and MT. Ialbert as secretary, and without further action adjournment was taken.
 The Normal is now upon the highest plane it has ever occupied, and correctly pointed to a greater degree of useful ness in it's work of preparing skilled teachers for the schools of Arizona. There are at present about tOrty-tive well advanced and diligent students in attendance, who, without exception, voice the praises of their instructors Professors Reed and Stcrment-who have been untiring in assisting the pro- gress of all along the path of learning. This number of pupils will no doubt be largely increased upon the opening of the next term, and several additional recitation rooms must needs be added to the school structure.
 Under the orders of the retiring direct ors, the building has been thoroughly repaired and newly painted, improved furniture and all neediul philosophical and chemical apparatus and supplies have been furnished an ample and care fully selected library has been provided for the use of the students, and in every way has it been sought to Tighten the labors of both pre- ceptors and pupils.

Splendid Crop Prospects for Grain and
 Fruit-widening the Canal.
 The steam dredger at Mesa is working steadily, widening the Mesa canal. The machine moves about twelve hundred yards of dirt day, at a cost of S25 day for running expenses.
 The wheat and barley crops up there are looking well and heading out. A yield of about l5J0 pouhds to the acre Is expected. Harvesting will begin about May l5.
 The orange trees set out this year are growing nicely. There will be heavy crop of peaches this year; in fact, the outlook is good for large crop of fruit of all kinds this season.
 The canals have plenty of water run, ming in them for all purposes.

Certain democrats are striving
hard to make the Southern whites
believe that the Federal Election
bill is to be the principal issue of
the Presidential campaign. It's
always the same old story in the
South, but every year it becomes
more difficult to hold the pro-
gressive young men of that sect
ton in line for the moss-grown
ideas OF the democratic party, and
even now without the everlasting
s'nigger" issue it would be imposs-
ible.

UNSEEMLY SCANDAL.

Carson loves nothing SO much
as scandal. During the past two
weeks an unsavory recital of social
gossip has been hawked about the
streets from the saloon to the
boudoir.
It involves the good name Of
clergyman, and if not true, the
parties who are responsible for the
starting Of the story should be
made severe examples of.
People are prone to believe the
worst when the name of a preach
er Of the gospel is concerned, and
after the damage is once done it
is hard to repair.
The character of a clergyman is
about his only capital, and those
who speak lightly Of it without a
cause should be held account
able.
In justice to all concerned, the
Vestry of the Parish should have
an immediate investigation of the
matter and settle the truth or
falsity of the stories now being
circulated in this city.
The clergyman whose name has
been the the principle one in the
scandal, owes it to himself and his
Pensioners to have such an inves-
tigation. and if the charges made
against him are true, there is
nothing left but an immediate res
ignation.
The church over which he pre-
sides has never before had a pastor
charged with immortality, and it be-
hooves the Vestry to sec that the
good name of the Church and pas
tor is indicated.

There have been many explanations

thousapds. OF course we all know thai

that name was bestowed upon II is an
other question, and one, too, which we
believe has never been satisfactorily
answered

who has resided on the old Nick CARR
gan ranch for many years, and was an
old man when Gen Vallejo settled in
Sonoma fifty years ago, and must now
be something over 100 years Of aRe. he
stated the reason the valley WIS called
Sonoma was because 1t had ''heep
muchee moon" translated into good
English, many Inoons),
Further inquiry developed the fact
that between the town of Sononla and
the Bella Vista vineyards distance OF
four or five miles, the moon when 1t is
full can be seen by the Traveller to rise
seven times in succession over the
mountains in the east, owing to their pc
culiar formation. This phenomenon has
been witnessed by many old resident
in the ea"ly evening at the rising of the
full moon. This, no doubt, had been
observed by the Indians and hence the
name Valley of the Moon. -Sonoina

BELLIES OF THE BIBLE.
Much the Same Ornaments and style of
Dress in SolomOn's Time as Now.

Much the Same Ornaments and STYLE of
Dress in SolOmOn's TIme as Now.
1t is an interesting fact and to a great
extent true that the style of dress and
ornaments of the ladies of the present
day is much the same as in the time of
Solomon With the many changes of
centuries, the graduation of chignons
and crinolines, much of the simple
grace and easy symmetry of ancient
Greece has taken their place in the
Nineteenth century.
The Scriptures narrate a great many
things about the style of dress worn in
the time of Solomon. In the law of
Moses directions are given concern
ing the garments worn by the Israel
ties In the Book of Judges the girls
OF that period are described by De
borah as "a prey of divers of needle
work"
Lesnuel says, Their clothing is of
silk and purple"
In the frequent intercourse bttween
the jewish and other natives the ladies',
tired of their primitive simplicity,
sought the fashions of the clever Egypt
ians, the elegant Phenicians, and the
luxurious Persians. Even the patient
job became impatient at SO ,uuch
dressing and thought of the ad0rn-
ment OF the person, and Isaiah De
nounces the women of the period"
living for nothing but dress and fiirta.
ton, with their great desire to ''see and
be seen.
The tunio spoken of in the time of
King Solomon was very much like the
polonaise of the present time, The
belts and fancy girdles and clasps and
buckles are the same thing as the
leather girdles and silver buckles worn
in the Bible times. We also find
recorded the fact that trains were worn
to dresses and that calnels hair shawls
were common among the ladies of that
age. Embroidered luantles are also
mentioned, and they were fastened with
gold pins The hair must have been
quite deliberately dressed to Judge from
Bible descriptions, AMI many orna
ments were worn. 1t was oiled, dyed
and put up in coils Little curls were al
lowed to hang loose over the forehead,
and strange as it sounds the young
ladies of Solomon's time used paint to
make their cheeks red.
Wells were worn, and the sandals
we're made of blue and violet colored
'Gther with fancy Rockets.
Solomon it is related, said to Shu
lamite: How beautiful are thy feet
with shoes, 0, princes daughtersT
Thin nets were worn AMI earrings OF
great value were commonly used.
Bracelets were worn upon the right
arm instead OF the left, strings OF
pearls and heavy gold chains around
the neck, rings on the fingers and
other ornaments we're fashionable.
There are many bellies spoken of by
women in the Bible, and the history of
some of their love stories is very touch
ing.
The beauty of the women of that
time is often mentioned, and life must
have been much as it is now among the
young people II you will examine the
Scripture to find anything used at the
present day which is still called by the
old timed names you will almost inva
riably find the same article mentioned
somewhere in the Bible There is in
deed little that is new under the sum-
