A BICYCLE REFORM.

Paris, the city of extremes, the birth
place of feminine fashion and Of person
al sdornment for the gentle sex the
world over, has taxed our credulity with
q declaration that woman's waist has
suddenly increased In circumference by
three or four inches. That is to say,
the fashion makers have decided on such
an increase, which is exactly the same
thing. In seeking an explain alton for a
decree which a few years ago would
have Mortified the French capital and
driven the late lamented Worth to self
destruction OF maniac's cell, what do
we find? That the inanimate bicycle
has accomplished that which for a
generation has been attempted in vain
by medical science and the record of
disease and death.

let them find a weak spot, they will
develop by the million and the blood

by the special stays now generally IN

Of the wheel, working upon the emancip'

The increase in health and strength
and the consequent added pleasure In
life-is gradually convincing the ladies
that reform in this matter is burdened
with blessings of which they had never
dreamed. Their mirrors, too, have told
them that the greater freedom OF the
waist detracts not at all from the beauty
Of the figure. We cannot look for re-

but we can sna do look for positive

TRANSMITTING SILVER INTO
GOLD.
The Dreams of Alchemists Realized

The Dreams Of Alchemists Realised
! DR.. Stephen S. Emmens, the dis
tinguished metsllurgist and inventor
of Emmensite, has discovered how to
trausmute silver into gold at cost oi
Sl2 per ounce. In lengthy letter to
the New York Journal DR.. Emmens ex-
plains his amazing discovery IN de-
| tail.
'The metal which we have made
from silver" writes Dr.. Emmens'
"answers every test to which the Unit
ed States government assay Office
subjects the gold offered there for SALE
1t Is, therefore, gold to ell intents and
purposes.
"Ths metal made from pure silver,
by the process discovered by US could
be proved to be gold 10 a court of law.
Ii Dot only answers every test OF the
government mints, but it also has every
quality required by the gold of CON-
merce, having the same color, weight
and strength"
DR.. Emmens says he has already
made fou: ounces of gold from about
six ounces of silver. and that the loss
IN the process is about 25 per cent. He
was asked If be had himself tested bis
metal by the United States government
tests for gold, and he replied most posi-
lively that be had, and that it had res.
ponded to every test.
DIR. Emmens says: I'VE: also estimate
that the waste OF argentaurum will not
exceed the equivalent of 25 per cent OF
the silver treated. In other words, we
hold that one ounce of eilver will pro-
duce three quarters of an ounce of
gold.
"The present price of silver is about
6S cents per ounce, and Of igold S2O67.
But even il We were to give 81 per ounce
for our silver our total cost in produc-
ing three quarters of an ounce Of gold
would not exceed Sl2. Thus. as three
quarters of an ounce of fine gold is
worth little more than S15, it seems
to us that We con reckon upon q profit
at least of So per ounce upon all the
silver We employ.
This discovery by chemist Of such
note as DIR. Enmens means something.
He would not risk his reputation on
making such statement without first
satisfying himself that he wac right. |

National Republican Ticket
STICK TO THE RIGHT.

Not little discussion has been seing
on for sometime past, among some oil
the wekk-kneed republicans in the terri
tory, as to the endorsement, by the re-
pubiioans OF the territory, OF the populist
congressional candidate, Buckley O'Neil.
That no such sentiment has ever been
expressed by any member of the repub-
lican party laying claim TO loyalty, party
interest or self respect, will be readily
believed without the necessity OF proof.
Such recommendations can only come
from men who are either traitors to the
principles they represent, or too faint
hearted to take their legitimate chances
in q campaign.
IL those who advance such ideas are
sincere; il they are condidly OF the
opinion that the republican party can
furnish no congressional material worthy
their support, why do they not, like
men, sever their connection with party
90 barren of leaders, join the ranks of
the populists, and worship at the shrine
of their Arizona god, Buckley? There
lie no tolerance 10 republican racks for
such faint hearted pretenders, and the
sooner they cease to be identified with
the party, the sooner the party will be
rid of come of the most potent causes of
the inharmony which sometimes exists.
The republicans Of Arizona will put
congressional nominee in the field, and
he will be man worthy the support of
every citizsn in the territory. Don't
you believe, even for sn instant, that
Arizona republicans intend to be
swallowed up by popuiiete or spy other
political organization. The party
stands for principles which it conceives
to be right and has no compromise to
make on any terms whatever.

The cause of this trouble resulted

They Permanently Organize for Pro-
.teotion Against Papagoss.
About thirty Pima county cattlemen
met yesterday in the district court room
and perfected permanent organization
for protection against the Papagoes,
whose inroads upon their herds, carried
on for long time, have at last passed
the point of endurance.
The matter was very fully discussed
by those present, and the means TO be
adopted for future security were finally
agreed upon. A system Of patrol will be
employed. Six men will be engaged by
the cattlemen, and paid by contribu-
tlons levied upon stock owners, each
owner being assessed in proportion to
the size of his herd. These patrols will
be on the range constantly, and when
they discover cattle thief will bring
him in and attempt to secure his punish
ment.
1t is hoped that this method may
prove successful in causing a cessation
of these raids.
The organization is composed OF the
following officers: President, G. W.
Wright; secretary, w. j. Ross; treas
urer, Geo. Pusch; executive committee,
N. w. Bernard, James Finley, Sabine
Otero, and ex-oficio mem bers, the presi-
dent and secretary. An agreement as
to the plan OF the campaign against the
Papagoes was drawn up and signed by
by oil the csttlemen present and will be
offered for signature to all others iu-
terested in that Indian infested region.

sary. The invited guests assembled
promptly at the hour announced. thus
continuing the policy of punctuality
which has been one OF the potent in
duences in the upbuilding of Tucson.
and OF the territory.
The guests entered the commodious
dining room CT the Cosmopolitan hotel.
and were seated at long table, loaded
with gems of culinary art, and con-
spicuous among the good things were
many OF the favorite Mexican dishes.
which twenty. five years ago constituted
rie only bill of fare which Tucson had
to offer.
Twenty-seven gentlemen sat at the
table, and no more genial and hospltabis
host ever graced the seat of honor at a
banquet, than Hon. Chas r. Drake, to
whose generosity the guests of last even
ing owe one of the pleasantest OCCASIONS
Of their lives.
At the close Of the banquet a number
OF toast were offered. and drew responses
from men we'll fitted to deal appropriate-
ly with the subjects assigned them.
Judge w. j. Osborn acted as toss-:
master. The toasts were: "Our Host ~

The evening we're merrily on. and be-
fore any realized II, the 18th OF August
lad passed and gone forever; another
day OF mortal existence had been usher
ed in, but the memory of that evening
will never be effsced. Wit, reminis-
cence, pathos, aod kindly good will per-
vaded everything.
Through the courtesy of Col. John Fl.
Martin the militia band was there and
rendered delightful music throughout
the evening. A vote of thanks was
rendered Col. Martin and the excellent
organization under his command.
The guests We'd with edeh other IL
their congratulations and good wishes
for the host, and the UNANIMOUS sentl-
ment was a sincere desire that Mr..
Drake might live, at least, another
quarter of a century, and sit as the
figure in another anniversary
and reunion of the pioneers whose en-
orgy and sterling worth have made
Tucson the Queen City Of the South
west."
After the guests had retired from the
banquet, the band repaired to the home
of Mr.. Drake and honored him with a |
