SOLID GALL.

II ? manifesto issued by the Re
publican State Central Commute,
the following appears:
ut most solamnly affirms and de
clares that the attitude of the so
called Silver party Of Nevada pre-
sents false issue to the people oil
this State. It assumes that our PEG
pie are divided upon the silver ques
ton, when In truth and i'll fact there
is absolutely no sentiment in the
State adverse t, silver. Our people
almost without single exception are
heartily and unequivocally in favor
of it, complete restoration to its for
mer position as one of the great
money metals of the world; and this
committee, on behalf of the Republi-
cans of Nevada, declares itself, with
out qualification or reservation, in
favor of the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to l, believing that
such measure will contribute not
only to the material welfare of the
State Of Nevada, but to the prosper
ity of the whole United States"
The above is one of the most re-
markabie manifestations of gall ever
witnessed in this State.
At the last election the Silver party
plank on the money question stated
that it pledged the party to
free coinage at ratio Of 16 to l.
The Republican party gave the
country no such pledge, yet the men
who are now trying to resurrect the
dead Republican party of Nevada re-
fused to indorse the 16 to l PROPOSE
ton and voted for a platform which
no such pledge.
1t was this act that caused the
people of Nevada t. be divided on
the silver question. Their statement
hat there is no division in this State
IN the silver question, is a deliberate
lie, and there never can be unanim-
ty on the question until these men

FASHION NOTES.

Basques OF all kinds prevail, round,
fulled, tabled or pointed.
The coming change in dress will
affect the skirt rather than the waist.
Floral brocades will be much worn,
both in silks and in the lighter wool
ems.
Basque frills in all first-class places
are cut on the bodice, and not fulled
on beneath the belt. -
All indications point to n continua-
tion Of the immense sleeves that
fashion has elected for two seasons
past.
The tendency toward draped or
double skirts is growing more pro-
nounced, particularly in evening
gowns.
The simplest form Of the new skirts
is the bell skirt, slashed TO open on a
tablier or panel that Stimulates an
under skirt.
A pretty way to liven up an old
black silk dress is TO make an en-
brodery Of jet arranged in two rows
around the skirt.

u oWsse Dwelling In Assxeas.

Arizona is plentifully sprinkled
with the ruins OF strange habita-
tions. Most Of them are constructed
OF concrete or adobe, and the mystery
about them is the identity OF the
people who designed them. How they
could be built is not matter Of con-
lecture, ~ the materials are close at
hand. But there is one ruin, although
still in good state OF preservation,
which IL a mystery, no matter in
what light it is considered. 1t is in
the Huachuca Mountains, not far
from the military reservation in a
north-easterly direction.
Nothing is known Of its origin, and
the wonderful part is the material OF
which ii il constructed. Ii is about
two hundred miles from the ocean
and surrounded on all sides by hills
Of sand and rocks covered with cacti.
There is no water for miles, except
the excuses for rivers that run during
the rainy season. There is MT even
the suggestion OF water, and yet the
house is built OF sea-shells laid in
sort Of cement. Where the shells
were obtained is a mystery that may
never be solved.
Ii does not seem possible that the
builder OF the house could carry the
material over hundreds OF miles OF
desert where there were plenty Of
rocks near by that would answer the
purpose just as well, even though
they were not SO unique. The house
is built in the shape Of the straw
huts OF the Papago Indians. and is
about the same size. There is room
inside for five or six persons, but at
present nobody occupies it except,
perhaps, some prospector, who uses
it for IL temporary shelter in cold
weather. There are dozen varieties
Of shells to be found i'm the walls,
and one over the door is OF extraor-
dinary size. The age OF the building
will never be known, but there is
little doubt that it is as old as the
oldest i'm the territory San Fran
cisco Call.
