How Society People Go a Wheeling-At-
 tending Grooms and Maids.
 The form of bicycling is beginning to be studied. Grooms on wheels must follow their mistresses as they did on horseback; it is probably only a ques- tion of a short time when the lady's maid will have to include wheeling with her other accomplishments to secure situation. On tine road the woman who wishes to ride la mode has to know a number of little things that are over looked by another woman, just as the smart set have a code for riding and driving that is as memorable as that they should not eat with their. knives or put sugar on oysters. Society in sists on an upright position, with, of course, no attempt at racing pace. It also frowns upon constant ringing of the bell-that will Go for the vulgar herd who delight in noise; the well-in- formed wheelwoman keeps eyes and ears alert and touches her bell rarely.

Eve Changes Position,

It is not generally known that the young flat fish have an eye on each side of the body, and that it is only in the adult stage that the eyes are both on one side. There has been much dis cussion among scientific men as to the mode in which the change takes place, out in the founder the eye has been observed to travel over the lidge of the head, while in some other fish it passes directly through the soft tissue of the young fish to the other side.

The Ohio capitalists recently under the guidance of c. B. Crowley visited the big dam at Gila Bend and thor oughly inspected it and the forty-fve miles of canal, a part of the enterprise.

The sheriff's office had Deputy Henry George on the ground, corner of Wash ington and Center streets, last evening, in two minutes after the alarm was given in the chloroform incident. He reported that he could not find a man under the bed, over the bed, or resting on the edge. Neither could he smell the alleged chloroform. The man might have been there just the same, but he was not there when the deputy arrived on the scene, and Henry thinks he (the fiend) must have been swift to get away so suddenly.

OLD DOMINION CLOSED The Miners and Super intendent at Odds. Refusing to Accede to Un-
 usual Demands. Several Hundred Men Out of En- ployment-Particul of the
 Shut Down.

SOLOMONVILLE, Ariz., June H. News from Globe announces that the mines owned and operated by the Old
 Dominion Mining company have been closed down. This throws 250 men out of employment. The reason for the shutdown is the result of trouble between miners and the superintend- ent, who reduced the wages of car men from $2.50 to s2.25 day. The miners took up the grievance of the men affected and made unheard of de- mands as follows: All men in mine to receive $3 per day, none but union men to be employed, the union to be the judge of qualifications of employees, all Mexicans to be discharged. The su- perintendent was waited upon by 300 men and informed that if he did not accede to these demands he would be marched out of town. Under these threats he acceded. The matter was reported to the home office of the mine in Boston and the mine was ordered shut down. The Old Dominion is one of the best mines in Arizona and was recently purchased by Lewiston Bros., New York, the price being $2,00O,000

Oregon Hunter Attacks a Bear with an
 Ordinary Jackknife.
 J. c. Hearing, who was hunting and trapping in the Blue mountains, few niles west of Elgin, met with little ad- venture with bear recently that might have proved rather serious to him had il not been for the intervention of one of his dogs, says the Portland Oregonian. He was engaged in setting traps, and as he had considerable weight to carry he had no weapon with him except jack knife, and on his rounds his dogs dis covered the winter quarters of bear in a. big hollow tree. The bear was al home, and was pretty much alive, as sub sequent events proved. As bear peltsare quite valuable, Jake was quite anxious to secure this one, but was afraid that if he went to camp, mile and half dis tant, bruin would escape, so he dashed lis pocketknife to the end of a stick and attempted to cut the animals throat. He only succeeded in inf1icting some pain ful flesh wounds, which so enraged the brute that it suddenly came out of its hole, and was almost on him when one of his dogs made sudden onslaught on the animals rear, which diverted his attention long enough to enable Jake to dodge behind a tree, and the dogs soon made it so tropical for the bear that it was glad to take refuge in tree where they kept it until gun was procured from camp, when the animal was quickly dispatched.

NECkTIE BAROMETERS.
Fabric Changes Color with Varying
 Weather Conditions.

TADrlc OHaHSeb COlOT WICA varying
 Weather Conditions.
 A fabric that changes color under varying conditions of the weather has just been produced.
 No practical use of the new invention has yet been made, except few sample neckties which the inventor has dis tributed among his friends. The fab ric of which the neckties are made, says Answers, resembles a coarse linen. When the weather is warm and fair the color is dark blue. In cold weather it changes to purple. The approach of rain is heralded by pink, and snow causes the necktie to become startling green.
 The invention marks new era in fashions. Shirts, trousers, gowns and other articles of dress can be made of the material. The invention is yet in it's infancy. When it has been developed to a greater extent the woman of fash ion can array herself in blue gown in the morning. By noon it will turn to a mauve. The afternoon will find it pink, and the evening some other color.
 As labor-saving institution the new cloth is exceedingly valuable. Ther- mometers and barometers will go out of fashion. The "city man" as he puts on his shirt in the morning has but to glance at the color. If it is purple, he wears his heaviest overcoat. If it is pink, he takes his umbrella under his arm. When sails are made of chameleon cloth the yachtman has but to glance at his mainsail to know what kind of weather is coming.
