THE LATE FASHIONS.

There is no perceptible difference in the shapes of sleeves. They fit the arm closely from wrists to shoulders, and have puffs, ruffles, caps, epaulettes and what not, according to fancy.
 There are many waists with little basque skirts. These are scalloped, cut in battlement points or left open at the seams and bound. Itwould appear that every style of finish had been employed upon these little frills.
 A stylish hat is of dark blue velvet The brim is edged with a narrow band of very fine Persian lamb. The crown has a trimming of velvet coiled round and round until it resembles a huge nest, from the middle of which rise fan cy feathers and aigrettes.
 The noticeable thing in the largest stock of newly-imported dress mate rials is the somberness and subdued eff fects of the colors. They are exquisite ly blended and are in striking contrast to the somewhat glaring shades witt which we have of late been familiar.

LESSON IN HISTORY.

The cution of the constitution of the fed States was due to James Mad Hh, to whom was given the title of Father of the Constitution"
 onhecticut had in circulation pri-
 te orfunauthorized coinage, issued by ponn /Higley, of Granby, in 1737. This ~ 7age was made of copper, mined in town, and known as the Granby or 7fgley Tokens.
 The name Point Comfort, Va.," was given to the locality in 1907 by the first colonists on their voyage of exploration up the James river, "Poynt Comfort on accounte of the goode channel and safe anchorage is offered
 Massachusetts, on May 26, 1852, es- tablished the first mint at Boston, of which John Hull was mint master, at which were issued coins of the value of 'twelve pence, six pence and three pence pieces," and "every shilling weighing the three-penny troj weight and lesser peeces proportionably.'
 In 1864, in time of peace, four Eng fish ships appeared in the harbor ot New Amsterdam and demanded it's sur render. Stout old Peter Stuyvesant, the lame governor who had ruled in the Dutch colonies for many years, resolved to fight. But the city was weak and without Notifications, and the people seeing the uselessness of contending against the ships, persuaded Stuyvesant to surrender. The name New Amster' dam was immediately changed to New York, the whole province having been granted to the duke of York. At the time of the surrender New York city had but 1,50O people, most of them speaking the Dutch language.

The meeting of the board of equal ization which has been in session the past three days, adjourned yes, erday. While number of the objec s in view when the meeting was called were not acted upon, enough was accomp- lished Ito. make it very successful one. The resolutions offered by MT. Frost of Mohave county and MT. Frisby of Navajo and their remarks at the time were in line wi,h the work undertaken, and cannot fail to be of value The talk made by Col. Her. ring before the meeting on Tuesday was timely and full of good counsel The opportunity afforded for a gen, raj understanding and interchange oi ideas iby those in attendance will dc much to remove fadlional jealousies ans bickerings and will go far toward improving our system of taxation Auditor Vickers, who acted as chair man and host, and his associates oI the board, Col. Black, Captain Cuttel
 and MT. Burmister, are to be con
 graduated upon the success of thii | initial meeting.

INTERESTING TIT-BITS.

A Sacramento man happened to ex- anime the gizzards of brace of mallard ducks which he bought few days ago and fouEd in them gold nuggets to the value of $1.50 each. As the ducks cost him only 40 cents he cleared S2 60 by the operation. The general impression. is that the ducks must have picked up the gold in the far north.
 In spite Of her vaunted farm lands Denmark supplies much of the butter eaten in Erglsrd. while the number of eggs sent tAere from Russia is encr- nous.

The total quantity Of eggs re- ceived from all points in Russia during last year was 345.0cO. eco.

ANOTHER BOND DECISION.

The case of Gage vs. M. H. McCord, Charles H. Akers ct al, which was de- cided in the supreme court yesterday, was another victory for those who wish to see the credit of Arizona up held The case was brought by E. B. Gage against the loan commission to settle several points bearing on the legality of certain territorial bonds. The decision was corcured in by three of the justices affirming the judg- ment of Judge Street. It is held that bonds issued by one territorial admin fstraion and eNHcuted ;'bE lanother are valid. This point validates the bonds issued by the Franklin admin istratEou and forever settles the le gality of this and kindred issues. It is preposterous to suppose that bonds ekecu,ed by one administration be legally sold by another and later administration. The point raised dur ing the Ya}apai county bond litiga- tion by the attorneys for that county that the }erritorial loan commission ceased to legally exist on and after January 1, 1897. is set at rest, ia be- ling held that such date, which WAS set by congress In the act of June 6. 1896, extending the provisions of the funding act in no way affected the status of the loan commission or the validity of bonds executed or sold since tha. date. This decision completely set ties the standing of Arrzona bonds and makes their desirability to investors apparent It also completely refutes the arguments of the repudiation el- cement s1d puts them beyond the pale of any legal standing In the courts. This decision in all proba biHty pu,s a permanent quietus to the ques ions which have so long damaged all Ari- zona securities and injured her repu- tation in financial circles It is most gratifying to know that in future bonds, issued within this territory will be known in flnanciering parlance as 'gslt edge"

BUCKETS FLUKE.

When old Commodore Vanderbilt
 compiled his catalogue of fools he
 knew of but three kinds. Had he
 been present at the closing see .es of the miners convention Tuesday evep-
 ing he could have easily doubled the
 number. Chief of the new species
 would be Buckley O'Neill, who has
 scored his greatest success in delyiug
 for the precious metals by means of
 his tongue, which is said to be lose
 at both ends. Then would come
 BuckaylI windlass boys, Mose and
 George and last, but no- least, T.
 Parish. who is supposed to furnish
 the grease or mud for Buckey's wind
 lass. It was these hardy old min
 CTS who through over enthusiasm
 for their particular branch of mining,
 made Balkans animals of themselves.
 Several days before the convention Buckley came to town. He was re- ported as being deeply intereJ. ed" in
 the movement and had come early in order to see that no cogs were slipped;
 consequently he got in on the ground
 floor, as it were. when the convention assembled. He was appoint ed as one of the committee on address and was Immensely tickled wi h his oppor .uni y for making trouble. He failed, however, to get his hammer hand into the committee report, but suc- ceeded in attaching a tail piece to it endorsing home rule. Parish read the report of the committee; tail piece and all. The other members not wishing to go on record in an attempt to prostitute the conwe ntion to aid a populist politician in carrying out a pet scheme, disclaimed any connec- tion with the home rule caudle ap- bondage. The bona fidr members of the convention were quick to see that an effort was being made to completely wreck fhe cause for which they were assembled, and proceeded to sit on Buckley. It was then that Ehe wind lass hands, Nose 'Drachman knGi George Purdy Bulard, came to the rescue. Nose threatened to assault the convention with free silver resp lution if it did not consent to be salted with home rule. Bullard said that Moses talk went, but it didn't The majority Of the convention were men of good judgment and earnest purpose. Such men as w. s. Adams George w. Cheyney and J. A. Mar c,-o rryIn everything else, pointed out the dan ger of following where Buckley led l Home rule and it's would-be cham-El pions were speedily shelved and tEeli cause which many had travelled far to l advance was saved. Had Buckey's scheme carried no man could have aT forded to longer remain in the CT vention and the whole plan would ,r.. come to naught. Buckley. of + t.
 knew this, but what cared hearr
 cause SO long as there was Dk3 in it for himself? The whoI episode should be Lhe best of evi( lhce that Buckley O'Neill will bear Bse watch ing and that power his hands would be like playing Eth fire. That he fell down and squeched by a body of mem " whom he had confidently countsl Io stand for homo rule, a majority whom were either democrats oF Pulists, shows pretty conclusively that Buckley and any measure ch he favors, even to home rul is thoroughly discredited in Aris9
