REFORM FOR NEW ORLEANS.

Probably no city in this country has
had a worse government than New Or
leans has had. There was abundant
reason for the formation and the work
of the Citizens league which won in
the recent municipal election there.
The league is going to try get some
substantial good for the city out of it's
victory, and has therefore put before
the legislature the draft of a new city
charter, which is, it is said, likely to be
adopted. Among the leading features
of the measure is the change from an
unpaid city council of thirty to a paid
council of seventeen members, who are
to be elected not by wards, as now, but
from the city at large. thus wiping out
the ward boss. Members of the council
must have been residents of the city for
at least five years, and anyone convict
ed of crime will be ineligible. Another
feature of the proposed charter is the
concentration Of authority and respon-

TIE GREEN STILL SIZE.

The hearing concerning the erection
of a canopy or building on the old
Green for the convenience Of people
waiting for cars ended last evening, and
the matter has been referred to the
corporation counsel for his opinion con-
corning the right of the Court of Com
mon Council to mend or muX the Green
The hearing has been interesting, but
very one-slded. The champions of a
canopy or a building have been few
and the champions of the sacred, I'M
encountered Green have been many and
earnest. They have been so many in
comparison with their opponents that
they could we'll have afforded to be

stance, they have been very unfair in

acting for the railroads in this matter.

put the big foot of bloated monopoly on
some of our sacred grass. The move

moters consider the public good. and If
they are mistaken the mistake is an

| 1t is not probable that there will soon
| be a canopy or building on the Green
for the convenience of those waiting for
cars. There will, however, soon be a
band-stand there which will put some
of the sacred grass in the shade.
Meanwhile it would be a good idea if
the railroad companies would try the
experiment of keeping their cars NOV
ing at the congested corner. If they
would perhaps the great problem would
thus be satisfactorily solved.

many enormous hats are seen. The hat
shown herewith is of this type, though
in a large size of it's class. 1t has a
crown of wired violets edged with
green satin to give the narrow brim.
On either side are two big loops of ac-
cordeon pleated green satin with a
smaller rosette in the center of the
back. For further garniture there are
fine aigrette and jeweled ornaments.

mands hair that is light and fluffy.
The boa pictured is of green chiffon
ending in rosettes of violet chiffon,
which again fasten spangled chiffon
ends. Another type of boa that is just
coming in is made of roses loosely WOW

size, some Of the roses hanging out on
three or four inches of stem, others on
short stems. A few trail as if about to
slip from the rest and some are close.
A line Of ribbon to match the roses is
the center and ends in bows and loops
at either end of the roses, the whole boa
being about a yard long White, yell
low or red roses are used and only q
very little green, of natural foliage, tint
shows. These boas are expensive in

quality. Why not buy lot of roses

their incumbency shall cease. They are
to receive an annual salary of $4,000,
and are to provide for practical com
petitive examinations of all applications
for offices which are not elective. Other
interesting provisions of the charter
are that all franchises shall be sold to
the highest bidder, and that a liquor
license shall not be granted except with
the written consent of a majority of
the householders or property owners
within three hundred feet of the propos-
ed location os the saloon.
This appears to be well constructed

A Reign of Especial Interest to Students of
the Prehistoric.
From the Denver Field and Farm.
The cliff ruins of the San Juan and
the Mancos have been the center of at
traction. have been viewed from all
sides, and their wonders have been told
and retold to the world time and time
again. Scientific men have visited the
region, have penetrated southwestern
Colorado. and have considered that
section place of especial interest, be-
cause the cliff and cave dwellings, are
probably the oldest in this strange
land being the first built in that mys
terious Journey southwark of a great
but unknown people. For twenty
years the prospector has followed the
San Juan river and gazed with careless
unconcern on the rough and broken
walls, 50 full of interest to the archaic
ologist.
But the mind of the prospector has no
room for curios, and he has no time for
archaeological investigation. He sees
only the glitter of the gold in the sand,
and thinks only of the time when he
shall have made his stake. In Novem-
Der of 1892 hundreds of gold hunters
rushed madly into the canon north of
the Navajo mountain, travelled three
hundred miles over bleak, desert table
lands, suffering terribly from the cold,
hunger. and the long, wearisome jour
ney. In a few days they had staked off
all the available land for fifty miles up
and down the river. and then returned
home without having obtained so much
as color Of gold, and to-day have
nothing to show for it but the stakes.
1t is one of the most wildly pictur-
esuue and beautiful regions in the
world. The bleak old Navajo noun
tain rises abruptly and towers like a
grim sentinel over the surrounding me-
sas, while in a canon gorge, more than
three thousand feet below it's base, the
Rio San Juan appears like a silver
thread. The canon is several miles
wide, and a descent can be made to the
river only by a precipitous trail; but as
the river approaches the great Colora-
