A novel feature OF the blouses which
accompanied these suits was that there

At the eastern summer resorts the Rob

gorgeous salts in plaids of all shades and

This will give the girl Of proud Scotch

pany these suits. and the whole should
make striking appearance in the bright

'rsa-od from the public view in time.
During the last half dozen years it has
been almost a pitiful spectacle when
Campanini sang in public, particularly to
those who remembered the wonderful
charm of his voice in the heyday of his
fame. Financial reasons forced the great
tenor to sing long after the wonders OF
his voice had departed.
Patti is an exceedingly rich woman,
and in The ordinary course of events she
will always have an income almost fabu-
lous in its dimensions. She has continu-
ally displayed rare business talent in the
management of her monetary affairs, and
the major part of her great earnings is
stored away in the safest of conservative
investments.
Patti is now on the wrong side OF fifty,
and in the natural course of events will
soon have to stop singing. 1t may be
that she will never again appear on an
American stage, but her recent appear

HUMBLE GRAVES MARKED
BY p. w. Dooner.

After experie icing the vicissitudes O
frontier journalism IN Arizona for few
years, found myself on board the Cali
fornia- bound stage at the town of Pres
colt in the month of April, 1872. My fell
low passengers for California were two
disappointed mining operators and very
clever and enterprising gentleman who
represented the United States in the ca
pacity of Indian agert for tie Mojave
Indians.
Those were the days of Indian raids,
and our path led through many detes
that wexe then, and l have no doubt are
still, marked by the little humble stone
heaps or mounds that overlie the graves
of those of the Argonauts OF the SOS and
'70s who fell before the bullets and arrows
of the savage Apache Indian of that pc.
riod.
The Arizona stage OF those days was q
sort of improvsed battery, and in our
case the armament consisted OF four re-
peating rifles, carried obliqlely across the
laps of the inmates, SO that two muzzes
should project from each side door. In
addition to these more formidable
weapons there was one revolver strapped
to each passenger and two or more Of the
latter disposed about the person and seat
OF the driver. Thus equipped for war. we
took our departure from one of the pret.
tiest towns in one of the nest charming
locations to be found anywhere. in the
west, and were soon whirling away be-
hind four spirited horses that were
guided by a professional driver of the old
school, whose peculiar skill seemed to
consist in q rare ability to have his stage
forever upon the point of capsising with
out once involving the threatened catas'
trophe.
But it must not be supposed that our
armament was by any means display. 1t
was only few months prior to the date
of our journey that the tragedy which
has gone down to history as the "Wicken-
burg massacre" was enacted upon the
route over which We were to pass within
twenty-four hours, and this event was
the third of a series OF successful indian
raids upon travellers by this road within
the period of eighteen months or therea-
bouts. This was the particular tragedy in
which the California stage with seven
passengers was attacked bv band of hos
tile Apache Indians. resulting in the
death OF four persons, among whom was
Frederick Loving, young Bostonian of
extraordinary promise in the world of
letters, as we'll as man of very distin-

address. He had lately graduated from
Harvard and was returning after pro-
tacted hunting across the continnt when
he became a passenger by the ill-fated
stage. The atrocity of this massacre
sent such thrill of horror throughout
the country that it was, in all probable.
