Safety OF Life in New Mexico.

In referring again to the article
signed by "Suzette,' reprinted from the
Philadelphia Bulletin in this paper a
few days ago, in which the statement
was made that the inhabitants of some
village in New Mexico killed a priest
for IS, the following item taken from
the San Francisco Bulletin, of last
week, is apropos:
AN Oakland man shot another, per-
haps fatally, for IL cents. He has the
consolation of knowing hat while it
will probably cost considerable more to
send him to the penitentiary-or the
rope-the state will stand the expense"
1t is not the intention of the New
committed in the territory, but this
paper does believe that a spirit of fair4
ness should actuate all persons in pas
sing judgment upon peoples and coun-
tries other than their own Had ST.
zette" examined the criminal records
of the different states and territories,
before criticising the people of this ter
ritory, she would have found that life
is much safer in New Mexico than in
nine out of ten of the %populous, "cul-
ured' well-officered districts in the
east, north and extreme west.
AS an example, take her own city of
Philadelphia. In n years time there
are more murders committed there than
there are in the entire territory of New
positively dangerous to appear on the
streets in some sections after dark, n
less accompanied by some one; at all
times it is unsafe to display any
amount of money in public places. AND
still "Suzette" attempts to discredit
New Mexico by telling of one murder
that took place while she was in the
territory. The papers tell of numerous
murders in all parts of the east and
north daily, and the people Of those sec
lions think nothing of such occurren-
ces. But let a man be killed in New
Mexico, nc matter what the circum-
stances surrounding the crime may be,
and Immediately the Miss Nancies' of
both sex in the east hold up their hands
in holy horror, and talk with bated
breath about the lawlessness of the ter
tory; the risks of life incident to resi-
dence here, and all manne of rot about
the great criminal class which infests
the towns, valleys, and mountains in
the wilds of New Mexico.
New Mexico is freer from murder, in
proportion to the population, than nine
out of ten of the other sections of the
Union, and if the critics and enemies of
the territory will watch the criminal
record of the entire country for n
year, they will find that this statement
is borne out by the facts in the matter.

train Of a wedding gown makes 1T neces-
sary that the shoulders should be widened
by o little trimming. AS the back Of the
gown is usually before the eyes of the COM
pany, care must be taken to make 1t as
pleasing as possible. A flaring collar, the
rear aspect Of which is not specially at
traotive, should be avoided, a tight collar
being worn with bows, points or a ruche
of lace Nesting next the hair.
Some pretty models of wedding gowns
are seen In which the skirt and bodice are
separate. The skirt has a circular founce
and a plain, round train, the bodice pass
ing under a belt Of ribbon or mousseline
de sole with long ends at the back or the
left side.
Glace kid gloves continue to be worn
more than suede, and the f~avorite shades
are pearl gray, putty, ivory, rye and
white.
Black hosiery is still in favor for gen.
eral wear, although with evening and
c~eremonious toilets both stockings and
shoes are chosen to match the gown. Col
ored kid shoes with black patent leather
trimmings are an attractive novelty.
Feather trimmings, both in the form Of
bands and In embroideries or fringe, are
much employed.
The picture illustrates a costume Of
pearl gray cashmere. The skirt has a
slight train and is adorned with stitched
straps of the material, which form a cross
ed design at the sides. Three jeweled but
tons are placed at the lower points in
front. The tight coat has no seam in the
middle of the back. It opens over a vest
of oyclamen velvet In front and has velvet
revers to match. The collar Is lined with
velvet, and there is a velvet cravat. Small
buttons decorate the coat fronts.

AS one of the results of the recent war
n the consequent expansion of terri
tory and trade, the ship yards on both
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts are
crowded with work beyond their capac-
ity. It is estimated that the coming
year will be n of the greatest activ-
ity in ship building ever known in the
United States and that 400, 900 tons will
be added to the register. The vessels
in course of construction and those or
dered, are all intended for passenger,
freight and mail service.

1t will be observed that the difference
is less than that given in comparison
first above noted. This demonstrates
the decrease in the difference between the
absolute and sensible tenn perature as the
intensity in heat becomes less, until In
midwinter, the difference is slight and
low tenn peratures are therefore fairly
comparable.
The thermal conditions, especially in
summer, are not what might be expected
at this latitude, owing to the environment.
The average temperature during the
summer months is about 81 degrees,
about the temperature of the upper
lake region, while in winter it is about
the same as that of the Ohio valley. ut

formerly the capital. Its elevation being more than double that of Phoenix, 1t is somewhat cooler, and as there is next to no irrigation near it, the air is a little drier. Phoenix is the centre of the greatest irriga- tion in the Territory The country for miles around smiles with green fields, cover ed with almost countless herds of cattle, and 1t is everywhere shut in by low mount ains. It Is the Territorial capital, has the Government Indian School the Territorial Lunatic Asylum, and other institutions, and is the general focus for the Territory. Like Tucson, it has its occasional wind and sand storms-perhaps not quite so often. At either place visitors who know how to adapt themselves to circumstances can be entirely comfortable, and in each they will find an intelligent, orderly, enterprisina and most hospitabIe community. They will find country full of mines, full of rich agricultural lands, aboundins in cattle and horses, in vineyards and orchards and the beginnings of very successful orange groves

IsIrA9LAca FIT TO LIVE Iz:

This depends On what one expects in a
 huge, parsely settled Territory of mount aims and deserts. The man who looks for either the beauty or the seductive excite ment of Monte Carlo will not ind it. As little will he ind the historic remains or the cosmopolitan attractions of Egypt; nor could he reasonable expect the amusements and luXuries of our own Eastern cities. The people of Arizona are still chiefly busy in the pioneer work of subduing it to the residence and uses of civilized man. But it has two transcontinent1I lines of railway with numerous feeders; 1t has fast mails. and rival telegraph lines, and is throbbing with the intense lie of the splendid West.
 The two principal towns in the south ern portion, chiefly sought for their climatic advantages, are Phoenix and Tucson. Each of them has ten thousand inhabitants or more. They have tue electric light. teIe- phones, trolley cars, plenty of hotels, banks, bookstores, good schools, churches, an occasional theatrical performance. some times lecture or @ circus, often a horse race, and, in tae spring. a thoroughly curious anI interesting ".iesta. For the ccst, people must take their amuscmcuts with them. Good horses are abundant and cheap, and there are plenty of cow boys-the genuine article-to show what horses can do. The driving for fifteen or twenty miles in almost any direction from Phoenix, Is nearly always easy. The roads are apt to be dusty bat there Is one we'll sprinkled drive of sjz or eight miles; and since the winds are quite regular iu their direction, it is rarely difficult to choose route or which tho dust will be largely carried away fror you.

Wh;tclaw Reid. owner aad editor of the New York Tr'jrao, who has spent the last two winters :a Al.zona for the Lenof5 of his health, writes cuteltaiuiag,y and in structi~cly concerning that ragt of the country. Mr. Reid says:

 During a five months residence in Southern Arizona in winter there was but one day when 1he weather made it actually for ne to take exercise in the open air at some time or ouhdr during the day, Of course there were good many days which weather observe. would de- scribe as "cloudy," and some that were "sLo"ery; but during these five months from No cmoer, 1895, to May, lS9jJ there were only four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dar- ing the day, Even more than Egypt, any whcrenorth Of Luxor, Arizona is the laud of sunshine.
