And from that day to this, Mr..
Speaker, wherever you 60 in that
Territory you will see the mark Of
the miners pick and shovel, and
the ruins or debris Of some old
Spanish mines that were work
ed centuries ago.
AS you plainly see, Mr.. Speak
err, the depreciation of silver af-
fects New Mexico as much as any
other silver producing state or
territory in the union, and be-
cause it affects my section of
country so seriously 1 have grasp
ed with pleasure, this opportunity
to show you what recommendation
means to the great west. With
your permission 1 will read the
following facts, carefully prepared
by a gentleman who has dedicated
the greater part of his life to min
ing in the west. He says:
If the Sherman law is uncondi-
tionally repealed it would seem as
if nothing could prevent a fall in
the Drice of silver 10 80 cts. per
ounce or less.
The writer believes, as n result
of twenty-five years of active expe-
rience in precious metal mining,
that rs cts. is considerably below
the average cost of silver per
ounce, and consequently that the
present stoppage Of the industry
in the west will be permanent I'M
less silver advances to at least so
or So cts. If the price goes to 80
cts. the business will be entirely
wiped out.
In such an. event, or, if simply
the present state of depression and
decentralization continues, what are
to be the commercial results?
Perhaps the following figures will
show:
The far west, comprising the
states of Montana, Idaho, Wyom-
ing, Colorado, California, Oregon,
Washington and Nevada, and the
Territories of New Mexico, Arizo-
ma and Utah, contains an area OF
$4,000 square miles, a population
of 100000, and produces in raw
u~ofario1 ne fO11Ows.

Out of this it must pay its debts.
1t is not a manufacturing section
of the union; it is, on the contra
ry, a very heavy importer of man
ufactured articles, and as yet re-
lies wholly on its raw material to
meet its obligations. These are
as follows, as far as 1 can ascer-
tam:

Young Joseph X. Emmett has been very
busy during the week receiving legal pa
pers In a divorce suit brought by his wife.
The couple were estranged a couple of
years ago, Mrs. Emmett living in Switzer-
lane and supported handsomely by her hus-
band. She returned to New York three
weeks ago and Immediately began proceed
ings, although Mr.. Emmett, in every pos
Sible way, tried to compromise the suit.
During Mrs. EmmetS residence abroad she
has received $1,000, but still she had Mr..
Emmett arrested for abandonment. A tenn
porary settlement was made on Sunday,
however, before Justice Koch, who fixed
the amount to be paid Mrs. Emmett each
week at $40. When 1t was all over lawyer
Edmond Price, who acted for Mr.. Emmett,
asked the court if he might give Mrs. En-
met a trifling amount for current expenses,
and, on the court consenting, Mrs. Emmett,
who had her little daughter with her, was
handed three one = hundred = dollar bills.
Young Emmett at once left New York for
Cincinnati, Mr.. Harry c. Miner becoming
his bondSman.

fitted to the outside. This is so much more
comfortable for any one, big or little, than
the foundation skirt that if women may not
retain it for themselves they should try to
keep it for their girls. The comfortable
length of the average skirt for girls is to
be commended. With the exception of the
few fancy Empire dresses, children's skirts
never reach far below the knee-sometimes
half way to the tops of high shoes. Older
girls wear skirts of ankle length. From
three to four yards is the usual width.
In former seasons though the bodices and
sleeves of children'S dresses were fashioned
In exact imitation of women's, yet the usual
skirt for girls gowns was the straight full
skirt with a broad hem, or with a row of
braid or vine stitching. This skirt was
used often on dresses for girls in their teens,
and except for the short French skirt, whose
ballet-girl style was emphasized by 1aring
ruffies, was the prevailing skirt for chill
dren. Now, however, every skirt used for
women's dresses is duplicated on children's
frockS.
The old straight skirt, unless accordion
plated, Is used only occasionally. The half
circle skirt, with or without yoke, the Skin
with godet plaitS at the back, and all the
skirts employed for women's gowns, are
laid hold upon unhesitatingly for the little
girls. However much the simplicity of the
old skirt may be regretted--and il will be
regretted seriously by house d~ressmakers-
there can be no question that il was ont of
place with the elaborate bodices and sleeves.
F1aring berthaS and britelleS, collaretteS
and epaulets, big sleeves, jaunty jackets
and circular basques, look decidedly better
over skirts of their own species.
Half the charm of the very charming party
dresses of Powered silks is in the cute little
faring skirts in which the children look so
falry-llke. Accordion-plaited embroidered
chiffon made a dainty frock for a tiny
blonde with long curls. The chiffon was
white, the embroidery in silk was a border
finishing all the edges of pink moss rose
buds with green leaves. The under dress.
which rose above the low, round neck i'm a
CAMP, was of pale green silk.

He proceeds to say:
Mrs. Field was 10 be present at some

she arrayed herself for that evening in a
gown of great richness and beauty, made
out of brocaded velvet. perhapS-though

ceedei to buy one hundred yards of IL or
more; and when the Fields arrived upon the
field of brilliance and gaiety at the Letter
mansion there were these one hundred
yards or more OF this material draped all
around the rooms. The Fields departed,
and that WAS the beginning OF the end of
the firm OF Field, Letter & Co. Wasn't IL

Mr.. Robert Mantell, who is now the
foremost exponent of the romantic drama
I'm this country, will play at the Grand
Opera House the latter part of this week,
after an absence Of several years. Mantell
is a forcible and intelligent actor. of a
strikingly attractive personal appearance,
and since the day when. then almost un-
known, he made such a hit as Loris in Fanny
Davenports production Of Fedora his
fame and popularity have steadily in
creased. He will appear here in three plays,
all Of which are entirely new in this city.
Thursday evening and at the Saturday
matinee he will present the picturesque
heroic drama "Monbars," by D'Ennery,
author OF 1.-TWO Orphans and "A Cele-
brated Case" This play. which has
achieved a most remarkable success, has
quite a history attached to it. 1t was
originally written by Frederick Lemaitre
in 1913. Lemaitre. who is only known to US
by the many brilliant successes he achieved
in France during his short career, was
recognized as the most finished actor of
his time, and in romantic roles was un-
surprisingly great. Mr.. Mantelrs adapta-
ton of st. Tropez, which is now known
under the title of "Monbars," differs con-
siderably from the original. Louis Nathal.
who adapted the play, altered the situa-
lions to suit American audiences and intro
duced several novelties that nave added
largely to its success. The cauterizing of
the wound in the first act suggested itself
to Mr.. Nathal from a scene in Victor
Hugo's LES Miserables'' and Dumas's
Salvador" The duel in the last act, about
which several critics have agreed to dis
agree, finds its counterpart in Sir Walter
Scott's ~"Ivanhoe." "Monbars" has achieved
a decided success in this country, and but
few plays adapted from the French have
afforded theater-goers more genuine pleas
ure. On Friday night Mr.. Mantell will
give the production in this city of "Parr-
hasius." The story of this play is woven
