ballet costumes was touched upon dur
ing an incidental conversation in Theo-
dore Moss private office, says the Chi
cago Times-Herald The relative
weight of compete ballet costume as
compared with the weight of a femin-
inc outfit for the street was the point
in argument, and the veteran Moss,
who has had long experience in such
matters, gave it as his opinion that the
regulation ballet costume would weigh
about one-fifth as much as the ordina-
ry street costume. Marc K'a W insisted
that there was a much greater differ
ence in their relative weights, and
frally a wager of a New Years spread

this particular costume-there's so lit

called, agreed to it. The silk tights,

The district attorney of Maricopa county seems to be peculiarly unsuc- cessful in drawing indictments against newspaper men. The indictments against c. W. Pugh were shown by the defendants attorney, to the satis- faction of Judge Street, to be "things of shrcds and patches, and now comes the information from Phoenix, the seat of trouble, that the indictments for criminal libel against Dr. H. A. Hughes-and J. M. Flemister of the ArIzona Democrat, for publications defamatory of the governor, were dis missed in the district court on de- murrers to the form of the indictments. The cases were referred to the next grand jury. Now that the Democrat has suspended publication and the proprietor and editor been subjected to so much mental anguish through fear of the laws infiction, the govsr- nor should relent, and tell the offen- ders to go and sin no more.

THE RlGHT-OF-WAY BILL IN
 CONGRESS.

Contrary to expectation, the bill to amend the act of Feb. IS, 1895. grant ing right-of-way through the San Carlos Indian reservation to the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern Railway company, proposes no change other than the extension of the time for the construction of the railroad for two years.
 We learn from the Congressional Record that the bill passed the house Dec. r, and the Senate Dec. IS. How ever, after it's passage, an unfortunate blunder in the wording of the bill was discovered, necessitating further amendment. The original amend ment read, ''That the right herein granted shall be forfeited by such company unless the road be con- structed through the said reservation within two years after the passage of this act" The intention, of course was to allow the company two years uiofS tiou rCo' 10, iooo, VI puiiu ohCii road, but in reality the amendment grants only two years from the date of approval of the right of-way act, Feb. IS, 1895, and ito use an Hiber- nicism) expired before it was born.
 In the house, on the the 18th inst, sherman, of New York, by unapi- nous consent, offered an amendment to correct the bill passed the day pre- vious, and giving the railroad com pany until Feb. IS, 1900, to construct their line. The amendment was read fly agreed to. Congress adjourned tine same day, without the senate hav- ing taken action on Mir. Sherman's amendment, and it went over until after the holiday recess. There is no opposition in the senate and the bill will doubtless be brought up and passed within few days after con- gress reassembles, which will be Jan uary 5.
 It seems very probable that the railroad company must have received assurances from the interior depart ment that the instructions to Lieut.. Rice, acting Indian agent at San Car los, in reference to obtaining the con- sent of the Indians, would be more favorable to the railroad than were those under which Capt. Meyer acted, else the attempt would certainly have been made to amend the right-of-way act by resembling the Indians right to dictate the terms. The bill enacted and the department favorable to the project, construction work on the rail road will begin at an early date.

The qualities of the law is the felon's trusted friend, and as an evidence of that fact three indictments by a Mari. copa county grand jury against c. w.
 Pugb. ex-secretary of the live stock board, were adjudged 80 defective as to result in the discharge of the de- fendant. The question of guilt did not appear for the reason that the first case went off on a demurrer because of the omission of the word fraudulent" in the indictments. Charles Mackhn, in referring to the "glorious uncer- tainty" of the law, said, ''It smiles in your face while it picks your pocket" !" How does this comport with the opin- ion of Sir John Powell, the legal Theban, who declared that s'law is the perfection c! reason" And vet some

THE TOWNSHIP MEETING.

At the townsite meeting held at the court house last Monday night con siderable interest and some feeling was manifested over the question of the disposition of the funds in the hands of the town trustee. The scram- hle for money in this world causes more trouble than anything else, and in this instance the contention was be- tween residents of the East end, com monly referred to IS the Ball Grounds, and property owners and storekeepers of the business portion of town. The Ball Grounds faction had the best of it by three votes, and secured the sum of S2O0, of which S135 is to be applied to repairs on the Hill street bridge and S65 to opening Sutherland street. It is expected that the expenditure of this munificent sum will make Suth- erland street one of the most desirable residence streets in Globe, and that tLere will be rush of people anxious to purchase property in that favored neighborhood. Messrs. P. T. Robert son, o. N. Creswell and Pat Rose were appointed committee to super wise the expenditure of the s200. The remainder of the money in the fund, some $475, was voted to fire protection purposes, and committee of five, consisting of T. A. Pascoe, Wm. Roll ing, Al Kinney, W. H. Winters and Jos. H. Hamill, was chosen to devise plans for the expenditure of the money to the best advantage. The meeting was then adjourned until Jan. 10 next, when both committees are ex- pected to report.

"The year Has gone, and with 1t many 8 glorious throns of happy dreams"
 The departing year is often portrayed as decrepit and disconsolate old man passing with leaden tread to join the innumsrable cycles gono before. His stepping form bears the burden of our disappointed hopes and of ambitions unrealized, The closing dayso the year arc not inspiriting. A review of the past brings to most of us the realization of our frailty and the impotence of human endeavor, and we gladly turn from the unpleasant retrospection and look with new encouragement to the future.
 "Hope springs eternal in the human breast, land we as community, remem- bering the few bright pages in the history of the past disappointing year, will gladly welcome the advent of the new year so full of promise for Globe and Gils county.
 With mines of surpassing richness, for the development of which millions of dollars are already invested, the futare of this district is assured, and we confidently believe that the time is near at hand when we will begin to realize the fruition of our hopes So long deferred, and Globe will advance rapidly to the position of the leading mining town in the Southwest.
 What we would like to see-and 1t is really necessary, if we are to be pre- pared to meet those improved condi- tions-is Q spirit of greater enterprise and harmony among our busness men and other citizens whose interests are identified with the town and district. Self interest and iealousies must be laid aside, and all must work together for the betterment of Globe, for every measure calculated to improve local conditions, attract capital and build up the town. Let all resolve to pull together during 1898 for the general good of the community, and the result, we are confident, will be both surpris- ing and profitable.
