Humanity Not Ready.

There are various ways OF ruin
ing ones self and other people. and
sometimes it results from altrustic
aspirations to help humanity. Some
time ago man named J. a. way
land left Pueblo. Cob, with
$500 which he had made by
speculating in city-lots. He vent
down to Tennessee and founded or
Joined cooperative colony called
Ruskin. A Populist newspaper
was started, was named the Com
iAg Nation, wxs published weekly
and sold for so cents q year;.it waS
conducted with q good deal OF
spirit, and it rapidly attained an
enormous circulation; it went all
over the country and counted its
readers by the hundred thousand.
It threatened to supplant all other
Populist papers. But Wayland
ouarreled with his fellow colonlsts
over the conduct of the paper. and
now he has left the colony $4,000
poorer than when he went there.
He can stand the loss, but other
Populist editors complain that they
are the real sufferers, and that
Wayland has ruined them ny edu-
eating the Populist masses up to
the idea that 80 cents q year is q
fair price for a weekly paper and
that anyone who charges them
more is, even though he advocate
Populist principles, q mere dis
guised monopolist and Shylock. In
summing up the Ruskin affair one
discouraged Populist journalist re-
marks cynically: "rhe lesson Way
lands failure teaches. is this hu--
maniry isn't ready to be saveds
When it is it will save itself.

People disposed to speak dis
paragingiy of Arizona have been
accustomed to make the double
charge that that tho "mines don't
70 down and there Is not sufficient
water near the mines for milling
purposes" As these charges come
together, so have they been, in
m st instances, where proper work
has been done, been refuted to-
gether, for not only has rich and
lasting ore been found at great
depth, but along with it water in
great abundance for all purposes;
in fact, in many cases, entirely too
much water, the cost of handling
same seriously hampering the
profitable working of the mine.
This has been the case with seversAl
mines in this vicinity and was very
notably the case in Tombstone
where water was scarce in the be-
ginning and when depth was reached
it required one of the largest pumps
operated in tho world to keep the
water down in only one mine. In
Arizona the best results come from
digging in the ground and the
deeper you dig the better the re-
sults.-Courier.

Tho Cudahv's have enlarged
their Los Angeles plant, with a
view to supplying canned meats to
China and Japan. They can be
put up there cheaper than at any
other point, owing to cheap fuel in
the way of petroleum, and they
confidently assert they can under
sell the product of any other point
on the globe. If Los Angeles
slaughtering increases, it should
afford an additional outlet for
Arizona cattle, a. we would be her

There are q number of idle young
men in Flagstaff, whether from
force of circumstance or choice the
Sun does not know. Every young
man should find something to do.
In spending his time in idleness he
loses more than his time, as be gets
into habits that are hard to shake
off. It is better for young man
to work for twenty-five cents q
day than to spend the days in idle,
ness. Get something to do, young
man, even if it pays but little. and
keep ct it, and it will not be long
antil you can get something to do
that will pay you.-Sun.

Leland Wright, son of William
r. Wright, who lives two milas
and hals southwest of Florence,
one day last week, called his mother
to come into the yard and s"e a
wonderful sight. And sur. enough
it was strange, for there were two
snakes over three feet long and Of
about equal size, having a battle to
the death. One was blacksnaks
and the Other d rattlesnake with
FIVE rattles. The former had seized
the rattler by the head, and was
swallowing him whole. As Mrs.
wright sni the children stood
there, the rattlesnake entirely dis
appeared in the body of the black
snake. The rattler made frantic
struggles to prevent the swallowing
act, but it was no use, and his
rartles sounded his death as they
were lost to sight.

lar who had been caught, having

thath was tempted by curiosity
to have look at one Of the in

castically.: "lf, gentlemen Of the

Turning the Tables.

Secretaries Carlisle and Hoke
Smith and the administration
forces, for the past month or more
have been laboring with Zeal and
energy to commit the democratic
party to the cause of goldism. They
have had some SUCCESS, but the
great States of Illinois. Missouri
and Texas have taken an emphatic
position in favor of free silver and
gold coinage, on q ratio of Is to /.
whether European nations consent I,
or not. 3 r.
The efforts Of the golditea have
provoked the activities Of the silver
men, and they are rapidly turning
the tables on their adversaries.
The people ere speaking now, and
their voices are louder than the
oratory of Office holders and the
hirelings of the gold power. The
ball is rolling, and it will gather
magnitude and momentum as it
proceeds.
The struggle in the national dem
ocratic convention next year will
herculean,. and views are so diver
gent that there seems to lie no
ground for compromise. Which
ever side wins, it seems inevitable
that the oth~r must bolt. The line
of battle, is already marked and
there is no doubt that the cause OF
the people will succeed. It the
friends Of silver in all parties will
unite. The issue is so momentous
that it seems inevitable that. ..all
patriots must combine.-Bullion.

when the seam is ironed. The iron
used should not be too hot, nor should
it be employed too frequently at the
same spot, as that detracts from the
freshness of the material.
Now that skirts are so large they are
not lined throughout with haircloth, as
that would render them unexpectedly
heavy. A facing of haircloth from u
to Is inches deep is placed around the
foot, fitted smoothly to the curve of
the skirt and with the hair kept par
allel to the edge. The lining is of silk
preferably, but as that is a great adj
ditional expense alpaca is much used
instead and forms an excellent substi-
tute. 1t is light and why and holds
the material in good folds. The seams
may be bound with bias strips of silk
or cambria, or thin silk seam binding
may be used. All skirts having bias
breadths should be hung on a skirt
form before the facing is put on, as
the bias portions always sag after the
skirt is finished at the waist and held
perpendicularly. The mistake of fin
ishing the foot of such skirt accord
ing to the measurement as it lies fiat
on the table involves taking the facing
entirely off again as soon as the skirt
is tried on.
The sketch shows a girls dress of
gray china silk with pink dots, having
a full skirt. The shirred waist is of
plain gray silk, the guimpe of guipure
over pink silk. The balloon elbow
sleeves of dotted silk have epaulets OF
plain silk, with pink fringed ruchings
of silk. The collar, bretelles and choux
are Of pink silk.

Special Correspondence of the Globe.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Summer is
fast departing, taking in her train all
the pretty muslin and lace frocks so
dear to the heart of the summer
maiden. But, after all, why repine?
when these are almost more than re-
placed by smart tailor-made gowns,
which in their own particular style
are surely more attractive, especially
when adjusted to outline every curve
of beautiful figure SO perfectly as
to render each an additional charm.
Quiet-toned materials set off by trim
mings Of a brighter nature are always
becoming and are certainly to be COM
mended for demi-season wear-silks,
Velvets, satins and rich embroideries
all are brought to assist in the de-
velopment of charmingly new and
original model garments. Originality
is ever associated with the world-re-
nowned name of Redfern, not only in
their tailor garments, which undoubt-
edly ought to be reclloned foremost,
but also in the tasteful and Skillfully
finished waists and dresses which are
produnced in the dressmaking depart
ment. The skirts fashioned at this es-
Establishment are differing somewhat
from the usual flare skirt mostly worn,
ln-so-much that they are now being ar
ranged with seven full cores at the
back, doing away with all the full
ness at the front or sides. These cores
are gathered over long pads that force
them to fall far out in graceful organ
pipes like folds. The average width
of these skirts is from six to ten yards
round the bottom. The ripple at sides
is not worn in this style of skirt 1t
has been whispered around that capes
are not to have such a continuous run
of favor as they have latterly enjoyed,
but surely this is hardly a creditabIe
fact for the simple reason that while
the sleeves remain fiuted, puffed and
stiffened it will always be more or less
of a struggle to coax coat over with
out crushing them in a manner pain
full to behold Two pretty simple
capes are here illustrated.

NEW DESIGNS IN CHINA.
Unique Dinner Srvices That Are
Coming Into Vogue.

Coming Into Vogue.
A London firm has lately produced
decided novelty for the table which
in these days, when al desire attrac-
tive and perfect appointments, will be
greatly appreciated. This consists Of
dessert service, the 'Auld Lang
Syne" service, in beautiful blue spodi
china, with landscape medallions in the
center OF each. This, of course, is not
new, the novelty being that the de-
signers are prepared to decorate with
any desired landscape. So, should the
purchaser be also the possessor Of one
of "England's stately homes" he may
have his service decorated with skele-
tons taken from the various points of
beauty on his own domains, choosing
himself the points of interest he pre-
fers, and thus bequeath to his heirs
charming heir loom.
Another novelty furnished by the
same establishment which will doubt
less prove popular with the smart set
is a luncheon service prepared in any
chosen racing colors. The dishes are
wonderfully compact and apropos, be-
ing put together in sets of three, the
stand of one forming the lid of the 9th
er. The size of the service must, of
course, depend upon the number to be
entertained.
Another item, not SO much of a nov
city, perhaps, is the new fireproof ware,
which is soft, dark green. The color
is very beautiful, and will be very
pretty addition to any table, and with
out doubt will do away with the old
color of dark red-brown ware so long
in vogue. The cafetieres in this ware
are especially pretty.
