KEEP TT OUT.

Resolved. That in Section 93 of the Arizona School Laws. the world religious be changed to read "sec tartan" and "dcnominatiOnal.
 The above resolution was adopted in common with some other nOnsen- sical resolutions by the late TerritO- rial Teachers Association in conven- tion at Phoenix. It Is sincerely hoped that members of the legislature will notice the 'nigger in the fence and let the school law strictly alone as 1t now stands. The church is the place 70 teach religion. not the schools. - Williams News.
 The position of the news Is correct, Religion in any form should be rei- giously kept out of public affairs. The schools are public Institutions, sup ported with public money. And no form of religious belief has a right to intrude therein and be taught. Un- der the present law all are barred and that is sufficient. The admirer of Ingersoll has as much right to de- mand that his hobbies be taught or read in the schools as the believer in the Bible. All cannot be permitted, so none should be. All good citizens should frown down all attempts to lug religion into public affairs. Religion has no business with politics, nor has politics any business with religion.

 The specifications call for the con struction of a first class harbor with depth of not less than thirty feet, thereby facilitating the anchorage of ships of the heaviest tonnage. It is not known when the works will be inaugurated. At present ships anchor in the road stead but it is thought that the harbor can be successfully made in what was originally known as Puerto Vleio. However, this ques- tion will be settled after the arrival there of Mr. Shoot and assistants who will immediately proceed to make the necessary surveys and subject them to the approval of the government prior to the inauguration of the work. It is calculated that three years will be required to complete the undertaking. 1.-Two Republics.

NAroLEoN's VALUE or VICTORY.
It Finds Striking Counterpart in Recent
 World Triumplis.


 Napoleon knew well the value of victory After Austerlitz the world seemed his. Fame invited, fortune favored, everything stimulated his aspiring ambition. With growing power he gathered the fruits of vic tory. And so has 1t ever been, success succeeds. A noted illustration of this truth is furnished by the great victor ics won at the Worlds Fair m '9S and the California MidwInter Fair in '94 by Dr Prices Cream Baking Powder. Ever increasing sales and popularity have been the result. The people have promptly ratified the official verdict that declared Dr. Prices, for leavcning power, keepicg qualities, purity and general excellence the foremost baking powder in all the world" Quite as quickly as the great Emperor do they know the value Of victory that means wide-word sapre- macy.

A Washington letter of recent date says: The house committee on labor has suddenly discovered that the bill which was introduced early in the session by Representative Lorimer of Illinois. at the request of labor or ganizatlons of Chicago, to punish em- ployers and corporations who blacklist laboringmen, is likely to be a boom erang, and at the request of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, it has been held up for repairs. This bill declares to be conspiracy against the laws of the United States and the public well fare any association, or agreement, or understanding between any two or more persons to prevent any other person from obtaining employment, and provides that such conspiracy shall be punished with a severe penalty. Mir Gompers argues that such law would etfectually prevent labor organizations from protecting themselves against ''rats, ";cabs" and other non-uni0n employees, and therefore he objects to it's passage.

RAGE FOR MINIATURES.
A Charming Old Fashion That Is Being
Revived.


Too many of our old time fashions
are going out, but one at least is COM
ing in again. ! speak of the wearing
of miniatures, says the Woman at
Home. There is, indeed, quite rage
for these delicate little portraits just
now of our fairest women and chill
dren. You may have them IN any size
you may choose; wear them as lock-
cts or in buttons, Wristbands or shoe
buckles. They are charming, too, in
serted as medallion on the cover
of an ivory or tortoise-shell notebook,
card case or pet volume of any kind.
And l imagine a miniature would be-
come the top of a lovely scent bottle
upon ones toilet table. Only the other
day ! heard of an American million
aire who gave orders to a fashionable
miniature painter to emblazon his
watch case with flowers of rare en-
amel round the cherub heads of his
two tiny daughters. For my part, l
would like on opening the watch to
see the inside OF the case disclose the
smiling face of one near and dear to
me. IT'S such a pretty, dainty art,
that of miniature painting! 1T needed
but that we should wait" for the re-
vival of so attractive vogue. Our
great and Observation-Disclosures
chose to wear the miniatures of their
beloved ones in thin gold medallions,
suspended by black-watered ribbon
round their necks and fastened with
a gold pin or brooch over the left
breast. l doubt not we shall be doing
likewise tn the year Of grace 1897.
Great ladies, and ladies who like to
follow their betters, are giving orders
right and left to miniature painters
The best ground for the work is, Of
course, ivory, which is practically in
destructible. But, although we have
some clever and careful artists, the
brilliant and charming work of others
of bygone day is by no means
equaled.
