sicilian Love Charms

The love-charms of Sicily are many
and curious. One, very popular and con-
sidered very powerful is to put into an
eggshell few drops Of the blood of the
longing lover. The shell is exposed to
the sun for three days and to the dew
for three nights. 1t is then placed on
hot ashes until calcined, when the whole
is reduced to fine powder and admin
istered secretly in cup of coffee or a
glass of wine to the object of affection.
Another charm Is for the witch to undress
at midnight and tie her clothes UP in
a bundle which she places on her head,
then, kneeling in the center of her room,
she pronounces an incarnation, at the
end of which she shakes her head.
If the bundle falls in front of her It is
a good sign; should It fall behind her
the charm will not avail. Yet another is
worked in the following manner: Pieces
of green, red and white ribbon are pur-
chased in three different shops, the name
of the person to be charmed being re-
peated, mentally, each time. The shop
keeper must be paid with the left hand,
the ribbon being received in the right.
When all the pieces are bought they are
taken to a witch, who sets out to find the
person to be charmed. On finding him,
or her. the witch mutters to herself.
with these ribbons I bind you to such
a one" Then she returns the ribbons to
the purchaser, who ties them beneath
his or her left knee and wears them at
church.-Macmillan's

RAILROAD CHANGES

from the Santa Fe system to the south :

Poor Tucson! Following the ANAL
eamation Of the southern roads Will

the old pueblo to Benson, which Will be
the headquarters for the railway divis-
ion of Arizona and New Mexico, this
being the junction Of the two lines. The
railroad shops pour at least $1,000 day
into Tucson. Even larger shops and
fully so per cent added expenditure
will be entailed at Benson through the
operation of the Mexican road.
1t is believed that this consolidation
will also mean the abandonment of the
Arizona and Southeastern track from
Fairbank to Benson. This stretch Of
twenty five miles was built by the Cop
per Queen company Of Bisbee because
of q disagreement with the Santa Fe
people over freight rates from Fair

Raising the Price of Clothing

Suppose the value Of the cloth in a
suit of clothes is $40. Under the present
tariff the single ad valorem rate of 40
per cent raises the cost to $14. The new
tariff imposes a tax of three
and one-half to four times the duty on
wool of the first class, 8 to Is cents a
and 20 per cent ad valorem, ac
cording to the price. This would raise
the cost of the clothes from $40 to $23 or

THE KENsLER TRIAL.

The Kensler murder case has
taken n new turn and will have to
be retired. Alfred Freel was found
guilty of murder in the first degree
and Mrs. Kensler in the second de
gree, but before sentence was passed
the attorneys for the defense dis
covered an error in the information
OF such magnitude that the court
at once ordered a new trial. It
appears that the information did
not state whether the murder was
committed in Gilmore county, Ida,
or in Ireland. This little error on
the part OF some one will only cost
Gilmore county few thousand dol
lars, but it will help the sheriff to
get three square meals day.

We believe the President is sin.
cere in his desire to have the vexed
silver question settled. We think
so because of the bitterness of the
gold bug press of the East. Some
go so far as to charge that he is
working contrary to the will of the
majority of last years voters, ig-
noring, OF course, the platform plank
which promises to try to establish
international silver recognition.
Others assume that inasmuch as
the platform, on which the Presi-
dent was elected declares that all
money must be as good as the best
by that pledge the restoration of
silver was made impossible, be-
cause the ratio now between the
metals is about 32 to 1. Still 9TH
ers take the ground that if the pro
posed attempt of this country to
coin both metals at the ratio of 16
to 1 would have been reputation
and dishonesty; it will be the same
thing, only in lesser degree, for a
dozen nations to try it. All these
views show that the gold men are
troubled; not only that they fear
their pet scheme will be defeated,
but that it will be clearly demon
strated that they last summer were
grossly dishonest or grossly igno-
rant. 1t is great comfort to sill
yer men to see this trouble in the
snemy's camp. 1t all shows that
hey are not quite certain, notwIth-
their passionate exclama-
ions, that Europe will not, after
