II Is charged here that the leaders Of
the strike who came down from the
Occur d'Alene country Of Idaho and
later went to Cripple Greek were re

THE supreme court Of the United
States has affirmed the constitutional
ity of the Louisiana statute providing
separate coaches for white and colored
passengers on the railroads 10 that state.
The necessity for such law exists only
in the south, and the statute would
never have been enacted but for condi-
tions which made the separation of the
races in railroad travel apparently IN
svoidable in order to secure the CON-
fort of all concerned. The railroads are
required to supply colored passengers
with accommodations substantially
equal TO those with which the whites
ere furnished, and there Is thus 10 rn-
fair Discrimination. The matter OF esp-
arate coaches has been sgitated for sew
eral years in the southern states, and it
has been feared that law TO this effect
would not stand the test Ct the courts.
Now that the supreme court has de-
clared the Louisiana statute ccnstitu-
tional, it is probable that the le2isla
lures of other southern states will enGct
similar lave.

little effort has been made to secure cap

acid form for the use of tanners. Be-

In the United States circuit court G

In the United States circuit court OF
Appeals at st. Louis few days ago
Judge Thayer rendered a decision OF
great interest to mem bers of benevolent
orders that pay death benefits in the
nature of life insurance. The question
az issue was the liability Of Ecoromy
Council, No. 2I5, National Union, for
the payment of a $1,000 policy when
the holder of the policy had committed
suicide. The case bad been taken to
the United States Circuit Court OF the
Western District of Missouri and i1dg-
ment rendered in favor of plaintiff, Mre.
Arcadia l.. MARROW, widow of Geo. W.
NARROW, deceased. The National Union
then appealed the case. On November
l6, 1885, Merlow, who held benefit
certificate in the National Union, COM
mitted suicide. The company refused
to pay the amount of the policy and
Mrs. NARROW instituted the suit. The
defense entered by the company was
that il was fraternsl beneficial organiZ-
stion, and as such came under the
statutes governing the payment of
similar instances. When the case was
appealed Judge Thayer ruled that the
company was not in reality a fraternal
beneficial organization, but an insurance
company, and as such liable for the full
amount of the policy. The judgment
of the lower court was therefore affirm

QUEEN VICTORIA, OF Great Britain and
Ireland, is II years Of age. On June %
next she will have occupied her throne
for fifty-eight years, a length of reign
exercised by few monsrchs in history,
and her physical health is reported to
be such that she may retain the scepter
for several more years to come. Albert
Edward, Prince of Wales, the heir ap-
parent, is no longer young, being now in
his 55th year, and unless bis august
mother shall choose to sbdicate iu his
favor very soon, it is highly probable
that he will. at the best, wear the crown
for only short period.

THE Pure Food convention. called BY

The Pure Food convention, called by
the board OF health, IN San Francisco,
will take cognizance OF the competition
in jelly by the enterprising Chicago
manufacturer. A few years ago local
Gamers did an annual business OF $780,
600 in jellies. The industry was doubly
profitable. as by it the Gamers were
enabled to preserve, in jelly form, the
poorer quality OF fruit. which now is
wasted. The fruit Gamers OF Chicago
got their raw material from the 8bat-
toirs. They took blood, and. with the
use Of chemicals. put on the market q
brand Of fruit jelly without any fruit in
it. Still-it has made California iellies
unmsrketeble, and is warranted to in-
crease the mortality among users OF
Chicago jelly.

NGRATITUDE.

When the managers Of the late Phoe-
nix carnival began their labors, all Ariz-
ona lent q helping hand. and no one did
more good, hard, conscientious work
than some OF our Tucson people. Basing
their argument upon the proposition
that all the territory would be benefited
by the success OF the carnival, they
lsbored with but one end in view.
Phoenix has failed to excite enough
interest in the coming bicycle meet to
secure q date with the ''circuit chssers,"
and a number of Tuceonites feel that,
after their efforts to boom the carnival,
Phoenix is treating them rather shah
billy. This event of June 2 will be means
of advertising not alone Tucson, but
the entire territory and every one should
exert himself to the utmost TO make it
q success. 1t is the general verdict that
Phoenix might escape charge OF iDgra-
titude il she would try, just little. to
help Tucson's bicycle meet.
