The Broadway Girl.

She is a distinctive type of womanhood
is the Broadway girl. She dresses in the
top notch of fashion. She carries herself
with swing as she moves along.
She wears iaunty hat, lit
tie too much iewelry, and uses
paint and powder in a reckless way. You
can see her any and every afternoon as she
takes her walk abroad. She is usually
young light hearted and frivolous, and the
chances are her mother does not Know
where she is. Men stare at her, and she,
poor foolish thing, takes it for compliment
TO her beauty. Very soon she becomes con-
spicuous, and then trife more independ-
ent in her ways. And just here she makes
Il mistake, for men begin to talk about her
and ogle her, until some kind friend tells
her that daily parade on Broadway is I'M
becoming. 1t is no longer considered proper
for young women to be seen too often On
Broadway of an afternoon, and sensible
girls appreciate this. Fashion has set its
face against the Broadway parade and
fashion is all-powerful. And for what rea-
son? Simply because there are too many
bejeweled and painted women there already,
and because men often forget that they are
men, and stare at and ogle psssers by, not
to mention other forms of annoyance. The
wise girl is not seen too often on Broadway
of an afternoon. FOSTER COATES.

MB. EVARTS IN HIS OLD AGE.

New YORK, Feb. 15.-Very cheerful look
ing is ex-senator William NJ Evarts this
bleak February day as h. turns into Wall
street. He moves with the Sprightliness
of youngster without a care in the world.
His seventy-four years rest lightly upon
his spare shoulders. There is a percept-
ible bending over of the shoulders, but his
massive head and strongly marked aquiline
features, his swapping eyes all betoken a
giant in force. He is still one of the noted
figures of the town, and when he makes a
public address or goes into court
he is listened TO with the deepest
interest. OF laie he has withdrawn
a great deal from public life, for he is no
longer able to stand the fatigue of great
dinners and receptions. But with his
chosen friends he is as gay as the youngest,
quick of wit and sharp of repartee as ever,
and 4 gourmet who appreciates good din-
ner and, better still, knows how TO prepare
it. He has large fortune, his fame is
secure, he is beloved by everybody, and he
should be happy.
Few men have such claims to distinction
as Mr. Evarts. When the story of his life
comes to be written it will puzzle the
biographer to tell which was his greatest
achievement--his defense of Andrew John
son. his great work before the Geneva COM
mission, or the famous argument that
saued Henry Ward Beecher in that never
to-be-forgotteu battle of Titans.
If Mr. Evarts were asked for his own
opinion he would probably say it was
neither of these, but his matchless skill as a
gentleman farmer that still enables him to
raise eggs on his own gilt-edge farm at a
cost not over % cents per egg!

A HORRlFYING SPECTACLE IN
ARIZONA TERRITORY.
Two Men Sink Out of Sight Before tho
Eyes of Their Friends-An Indian Le-
gsnd in Regard to the Place.
Special to the Gazette


PHOENIX, ARIz., Feb. IA miner who
has Just come in from the ella river coun-
try reports a most remarkable and at the
same time horribly peculiar formation
which was discovered after it has caused
the loss of the life of two members of
the party. Five men were camped together
prospecting in the mountains. One day
Lewis Morrison went out alone and as he
did not return, James Wilson started to
look for him two days later. A day passed
and the other three went to hunt for the
two missing ones. While searching over
the mountains they came to valley which
broadened into a park and noticed the
tracks of both of their companions gowing
down the valley. They followed the tracks
until they entered sand bed and there all
trace of them was lost.
A careful search developed the fact that
Morrison and Wilson had been swallowed
Up by the sand which looked as if it was
hard, but when The party went on it the
man in front began sinking and could not
save himself. Had it not been for the pres
ence of his companions he would undOubt-
edly have been swallowed by the treacher-
Gus sands. No trace of the missing men
could be seen on either side of the place. The
Indians have a legend that the sand bed has
swallowed up whole tribe of Indians that
went across it, and all got on the place be-
fore its. nature was discovered. There are
many tracks of animals leading to the spot,
but in no case are there any returning.

LUCKY" baldwin in New York.

Lucky" Baldwin of California comes to
New York often enough to be easily recog-
nizable by the MOTEL habitues of the big
city. 7 saw him the other day as he wrote
his name on 4 hotel register, looking not at
all like man who is said TO be worth $780,
100000. He wore trousers of some light
colored material, an old-fashioned frock
coat, low-cut vest. white necktie and a
black soft hat. His gray mustache evil
IDENTIFY takes care of itself. 1t had not been
brushed for many hours. His face IS pale
aud somewhat wrinkled, but his eyes are
as sharp as hawks, and he moved about
with the nervous energy of one who never
tires.
Just in from Frisco, :" he said to me- AZ
like to come to New York once in awhile,
because it is great big, hustling city, but
l am equally glad to get back to the Golden
state often WONDER" he continued, why
men and women will stay in the East with
very poor chance of success, when the
West offers so many opportunities.
''Do YOU think it possible | said, ''to
accumulate large fortunes in the West these
days2'
Decidedly" was the quick reply.
There are fifty chances in California 10
one in New York, but there are no fortunes
10 be made there without seeking them. II
IS work work, work from morning until
night The difficulty with Eastern people
is that they expect to find the Western
country overrun with gold. They are dis
appointed because this is not so. They idle
about for = time and then return with
stories of failure, whereas they have not
given the West a chance. Take California,
Tor example, and l can safely say its devel-
opment has hardly begun. There are rich
mines TO be developed, acres Of beautiful
soil to be cultivated. and boundless fortunes
for those who are willing TO work Besides,
If Eastern men and women do not care to
work for themselves they can readily lind
employment at larger pay than in the East
while working for others. Even the poor
est class of servants in the West is better
paid than those in the East There is q
constant demand for men and women who
are not afraid to get up early in the morn
ing and work long after shutdown"
MIR. Baldwin certainly knows what he is
talking about. That he has accumulated
$50, 600 600 himself is the best evidence of
what can be done in the great country be-
yond the Rockies. But he is q worker. He
is up every morning shortly after sunrise
md it is late az night before he retires. He

the Indian appropriation bill passed BY thu

lying south of the Canadian river in the
Indian Territory, now occupied by Chey-

authorized by the laws of the Shoctaw Ma

from congress, and the ChlckaSawS agreed
TO pay 10 per cent of their interest to agents
anc an attorney. 1t also came TO the
knowledge of the president that the action
ruptIy influenced in the matter.
The president does not think congress
should so legiSlate as 10. give effect to such
~ contract, and he is of opinion if this ap-
preparation stands provision should be made
for protecting these tribes against extor-
ton. Protective Intervention of congress
is asked in the matter OF refusal of Chicka-
The question OF the title of the Choctaws
and Chickasaws 70 these lands is then
taken up. The president says the lands
ceded by the terms are sufficiently compre-
hensive to have passed full title or the
Indians.
This being so compensation for the lands
not needed for allotment purposes should
go to the occupying tribe. A recitalis then
made of various Indian tribes having
reservations III this leased district to show
that further appropriations are involved
in the settlement for all these lands upon
the basis adopted by congress.
The president does not approve Of deal
ing with this question by piecemeal. It
would have been better, he says, If the rem
rant of title remains in the Choctaws and
Chickasaws to lands in the leased districts
to settle the whole matter at once
The president commits the matter to the
attention of congress for such action as is
thought advisable

Ex-eov. AMEs ON THE TARIFF.
he Says it is Burdensome and Conducive
to Republican Defeat.

to Republican Defeat.
BosroN, Mass, Feb. 19.-Ex-G Governor
Ames' recent frank remarks about the
Mckinley bill excited alarm in the ranks Of
the American protective tariff league,
whose secretary, Wilbur Z. WCkeman,
wrote the ex-governor for a more explicit
statement of his views. He has replied in
a very long letter. of which this is the
pith:
''In the presidential campaign OF 1855 the
Republican party met the tariff issue by
the assertion that it intended, if successful,
to reduce the surplus in the United States
treasury ana reduce the revenue of the
government by reducing the tariff on i'm
ports all along the line, but in such way
as TO preserve and encourage the manu-
features of the country. 1t claimed that
this reduction should be made by the
friends of protection, and not by its
enemies; otherwise the interests to be
effected would suffer.
ION the issue thus presented we elected
4 Republican president and a Repu blican
house of representatives. But our pledge
was not kept in its entirety, as it should
have been. Instead OF reducing the tariff
many manufactured goods that had ade-
quate protection. am a Republican and
protectionist, and believe that our revenue
law should be so adjusted as to give ample
protection to manufactures, so as to insure
good waE es to the workman and fair profit
to the employer.
"But do not believe in making the rate
of duties so high as to exclude foreign
goods, and give manufacturer phenome-
nal profits and thereby SO overstimulate do
nestle production as to end in ruinous
competition, or TO cause that reaction
which tends to the abolition OF all pro-.
tective laws, which already has so many adj
vocates. 1 am convinced that the tariff of
1888 was in many instances too high and
that the tariif of 1890 in some of its provis-
ions is still more burdensome than was that
which it succeeded. This is the error in
legislation which 1 wish to point out, to
which 1 more than once called attention
while the measure was under consideration
in the. congress, and which l believe did
more to defeat the Republican party in 1890
through consequent reaction than any other
act Of congress during quarter of CEN
tury

RAVING MAD,
ARE MEMBERS OF A MEXICAN
FAMILY NEAR LAREDO.
An Old Woman Whose Sons Had Been
Murdered Waits for Revenge
and Takes 1t.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
LAREDO, TEX, Feb. 19.-Julio Vargas, a
ranchman, who lives about forty miles
across the Mexican border, was in town
last week and told a terrible story of re-
venge which had been taken by an old
woman in his neighborhood. There had
been feud between two families in his
vicinity and this fued drew in several other
families until there was regular neighbor-
hood war. Pinzons and Morelos were bitter
enemies, and in q running battle i've OF the
male members of the Pinzon family were
killed and left on the field. This was sew
eral years ago, and with the killing there
were left no male members of the Pinzon
family. This caused the feud to fradually
die out between the other people who had
been drawn into it, and in fact the whole
occurrence had been almost forgotten by
the people among whom mans life counts
very little. There was one person, how
ever, who had not forgotten, but who had
sworn a solemn oath, as binding as the
vendetta oath of the Sicillians. This was
old Marguerite Pinzon, the mother of the
family. She became recluse, and was
looked upon as a sort of witch by the peo-
pie who lived near her, but as she did no
harm she was not molested. She spent
much time among herbs and became famed
for her cures.
She also became noted as a cook, and
whenever any of the wealthy families gave
dinner, it became customary to call upon
old Marguerite to assist in preparing the
dalnties. About month ago Marguerite
was sent for to superintend the cooking of
a dinner for family, and the guests Of
honor on the occasion were four male men,
bers of the Morela family. The old woman
insisted on waiting on the table, as well as
cooking the food. and she gave to each of
the Morelas a specially prepared dish. The
result was that the four are now ravlng
maniacs, they having eaten of a decoction
of the deadly loco weed, the effects of which
are to poison the mind to such an extent
that the partaker thereof goes raving mad.

women Keeping Bank Accounts.

The president of one of the big uptown
banks, situated near Murray Hill, tells me
that during the past few years wonderful
change has come over womankind. Hun
dreds of women now keep small bank ac-
counts and when they pay their bills they
draw checks for the amounts, just the same
as men, and thus avoid good deal of an
noyance. Time was when women were as
much afraid of keeping a bank account as
of buzz saw in action, and they grew
nervous, blushed and hemmed and hawed
when they signed a check. All this is
changed now. New York women are be-
coming accustomed to business ways. They
no longer carry rolls of bills in their pock-
cts or knotted in their handkerchies. In
stead they carry dainty little check books.
It's the fashion, and who ever knew New
York woman to be out of fashionl
