 Very pretty parasols are made square of heavy white taffeta, with a deep hemstitched fold about the edge, a reg ular handkerchief finish. Plaid umbrei- las and sunshades are not quite so many as they were Their use is linn ited, as they are suitable only for a tailor made rig and are too gay for the city. Plaid covers to plain coIored um- brellas are much in vogue. Suppliers to swells offer plain colored umbrellas with any number of different covers so that you can match the costume as you jlease. Chiffon, lace and liberty silk are all used for the umbrella of the season.
 We are treated this year to sight of much trimming for silk dresses that is detachable. Not only can 1t be trans ferred to another gown. but it can be removed and bundled off to the clean CTS, though perhaps that should only be whispered Sight of this trimming in place, however, doesn't always re- veal lue poSslDilllieS lor SniLtS, dHu that point makes such ornamentation just so much more attractive to women who practice economy by using it. Here for example is a gown that had this "expediency' trimming, yet 1t was a handsome affair and not to be suspect ed of such device. It was blue foul lard trimmed with bands of embroider- ed white batlste, this edged on both sides with narrow chiffon frillings Aside from this banding, the gown it. self was simple. Its yoke was banded with two rows of chiffon, and of the two bows at the neck the larger was of batiste, held with a buckle, and the smaller was black velvet. The sleeves were slashed at the wrists and one cor ner was turned back and faced with batiste. FLORETTE.

HIGH-ToNED CLEANS.


 It Is not very surprising to read that the soldiers of this country who have gone to Cuba to free the Cubans are having some trouble with the Cubans. Many of the Cubans have Spanish blood in their veins, and they are therefore naturally notional. A dis patch from Camp Siboney says that General Young has refused to issue further rations to the Cubans until advices are received from Washington in answer to his expose of the situa- ton. The Cubans refuse to assist in the hospital and commissary depart ments, claiming they are soldiers and not laborers. The same answer was given by them to General Baker when he asked the Cubans to help open the roads for the transportation of sup plies to the front.
 It really seems proper that the Cu- bans should be willing to help the United States free them by helping the United States do any of the work in- volved in the operation. But we must free them whether they are helpful or grateful or not. And after we have freed them perhaps we shall have to help them govern themselves.

MORE NEaRO oFETCERS.

One more. Iowa has added herself to the list of States which favor giving the warlike negro chance to die as an officer A company of black troops has been raised at Des Moines, and it has been decided that it's officers shall also be black men. This decision was reach ed after white man had been picked out for the captaincy and his nomina- tion had even been sent to the senate. The negroes had an admirable candi- date for the place in the person of a man who has served in the regular army and has proved himself abund- antly competent for the position.
 This action in Iowa is entirely proper and it may well find imitation else where. The only thing to be guarded against is the growth of notion that white men, even when competent, are not good enough to command black men. But there is no immediate dan ger that that notion will catch up with and pass the other notion that has so long been accepted and popular.

 Since 1884 the republic has enforced free education on all children between tn ages of six and fourteen. There are universities and many national col- leges, a naval and a military academy with schools form ming and agricult- ure, As proof that Argentina, though Catholic in it's religion, will not allow it's education to be influenced by the priests, it is worthy of note that, not many years ago, when the Papal Nun cio advised some parents not to send their children to a school where Cathol- icism was not taught, he was promptly given his passport, and asked to leave the country, The press, Is free, and there are many newspapers.

FALLING OFF.

It appears that with all her skill and eyergy in commerce there is decided decrease of Germanys trade With South America. Starting from small beginnings, Germany's exports have grown at rapid rate, but the rate of increase established some years ago is not maintained, Between 1888 and 1896, for example, her exports to the South American republics increased in value by but $5O0,0O0, while her imports from these republics increased by as much as S16,000,000. In 1897, however, there was a decided falling off This was particularly noticeable In cotton cloth, coarse ironware, worsted goods, beer, faience, wire iron. rails, and wooden ware. As to the cause of the decline, opinions differ, one theory being that German manufacturers distrust the ability of the people to pay, and anoth CT that commercial treaties are lacking. But if trade increased in the past in spite of these disadvantages, it is ques- tionable whether they are now the effi- cient cause of decline of trade. Amer ican and English manufacturers, stim- ulated by the story of Germanys great success, are now making extraordinary exertions to obtain orders in all parts of the world, and Germany is bound to feel this keen competition. The trade with South America really be- longs to this country and can be had and kept by proper and adequate ef- fcrt.

the average year, Of this period of five months there are at least two months of the year when the roads are practically impossible for loads. From the middle of November until the mid dle of December, from the middle of March until the middle of April, the agricultural trade of the country is practically cut off. For the remaining three months of the five the roads are barely passable.
 The estimated loss to the people by the absence of good roads the inspector estimates at $651, ,576O 900, capitalized at per cent. This is a reasonable esti- mate.

PROGRESS OF 4 GREAT REFORM.

The good roads movement seems likely to extend until it covers this con- tinent. There will be better roads in Cuba soon, and there will also be bet ter roads in Canada by and by. The road inspector of the province of On- tario dwells in his report on the pro- gress of the reform in this country in the endeayor to arouse interest there. That interest is lacking is evident from the detailed reports of existing condi- tions. Summarizing these, the inspec- tor says that a century ago the roads of Ontario such as existed, and they were very few, were mere trails. To- day, notwithstanding the amount of money and labor placed on them, the majority are little better than trails
 This criticism may seem overdrawn to gravel roads during the summer sea- son, but if the journey had to be made in the fall or spring, the rainy seasons. it's fairness would become more appar- ent. From the middle of October until the end of December, and from the first of March until the middle of May. a period of five months, by far the great est part of the mileage of the province is mud. ruts, and pitch-holes. This may vary somewhat at the more north erIy and more southerly parts of the province, but it is the general rule of

It is said that an American firm has fin it's shops a vehicle in the shape of a motor carriage which can be used by the small trader for the quick and eco- onomical delivery of his goods, and a London company announces that it will soon put new motor car on the streets of that city. An interesting and prac- tical test was recently made of the mer- it's of the new cab as compared with the London General Omnibus compa- ny's busses from Ealing and Oxford streets. The two-horse bus did ten Journeys in a day, against the motor bus fourteen; the former travelling seventy miles, employing fourteen horses the latter ninety-eight miles with one motor. The cost of power per tourney for the horse bus was about ninety cents, for the motor bus about twelve cents; and after all this the mo- tor bus left off the days work with an hour to spare.

Enthusiastic descriptions are given, according to the Philadelphia Record, of new hand fire engine for use in suburban and country towns where the public service is not within easy call, which has lately been brought out in England. This machine Is portable, being mounted on a pair of strong iron wheels, and can pump some fifty gall Ions of water per minute against a head of sixty-fiye feet, or, when used in emergency, can be forced to deliver one hundred gallons minute The engine rests on four iron feet, this po- sition being effected by raising the handle of the carriage and lowering the boiler It is of the quick raising steam type, and may be run up to a working pressure in a few minutes, which for emergency work is, of course, of great importance. The pump can be disconnected readily.

Although the cost of the drainage is about s25, 100000 a year, the enormously increased fertility of the land makes it a paying operation. Besides that it is the most sanitary and scientific mode of disposing of the city's sewage.

The dog has been given something of legal status in Ohio. Hitherto in that State, if he was running at large without license tag, he might be killed at pleasure. Under the new law he is distinctly regarded as property, and is hemmed about with all the rights and privileges of other live stock. Should the dog be enticed away from the premises of his owner, killed, or maliciously injured, the owner may maintain an action for damages. The dog. however, is restricted to the same limitations as horses, mules, cattle, sheep, and goats-that is, he must not run at large. If caught running at large he Is to be impounded. It is hoped that the operation of the law, by its protection to dogs of some value or use, will lessen the number of worth less CUTS.

BRoNcHo BILL.
He Win Never Be Able to Use His Arm
 Again.

"Broncho Bill" is in bad way phys ically. Last week the doctors at Santa Fe operated on his wounded shoulder. They found that the bones in the upper arm and shoulder were all smashed, and they removed all the broken bones. There are no bones left between the elbow and the shoulder blade. After this operation was completed Broncho was too weak to stand further opera tion. If he gets stronger the doctors will amputate the arm near the elbow. The arteries are entact and the arm is we'll nourished, so it is advisable to let the arm remain in it's present condition for 8 time. as tho free circulation of blood will greatly assist in the healing of the wounds in the shoulder. The doctors think there is very little hopes of his living; the only thing to pull him through is his meanness. But liv- ing or dead, in prison or at liberty, he can never swing sixshooter in his right hand, nor can he ever take anoth. CT shot with it at an officer or express messenger.-[ Lordsburg Liberal.

Burninu of Jerome.

PRESCOTT, Sept. l2.-Jerome has been swept by fire and the entire business portion, together with l5O residences, destroyed. The losses aggregate more than $l ,000, 900, while at least eleven lives are known to be lost, and num- Der are yet missing. The fire broke out in the Italian quarters, where car ousal had been carried on through the night. The explosion of lamp knocked over on the floor is said to be the cause of the disaster.
 Be that as it may, about 2 20 a. m. the flames began their devastating career, and before noon the city was nothing but heaps of smouldering ruins. Famed by good breeze from the north, the flames spread rapidly and the improvised methods of ex- tinguishing fire were of no avail. On and on they sped with surprising strides, amid the cries of women and children and the shouts of sturdy men who labored with all their might to arrest the destroying demons. Fully POO buildings were destroyed, there be- ing but the Methodist church left in the business portion, and at least 150 residences, together with their con- tents, were destroyed. Nothing was saved from the fire. The loss is surely $1 900, 900, possibly more, with nothing more than $50, 900 insurance. The gen. eral merchandise store of the United Verde Mining company alone did not burn, and from this is issued supplies of food, clothing and all possible to add to the comfort of the destitute. Spe- cial trains carried many to Prescott, while the residents of that city sent tents and supplies. Considerable mon- ey was also subscribed to aid the suf- ferers.
 Within less than two hours the space of five blocks was burned to the ground. So rapidly did the fire spread that many were enveloped in the flames, and it is feared at least twenty lives are lost. Already eleven bodies have been found, but many cannot be removed until the heat subsidies.
 It is said that an entire family of man and wife and three children, who endeavored to save what they had been years accommodating, have been found in the ruins, and as the arrivals from the scene reach the city, the devasta- ton is reported only more pitisble and sad.
 Dr. Woods, the company physician, narrowly escaped losing all his patients in the hospital, but by good judgment a score of inmates were saved by him, being removed early and hastily. The reservoir which supplies the town with water was undergoing repairs at the time, but eye witnesses state that had water been abundant after the fire gained headway, the result would have been the same. So complete is the disaster that the refugees are not only penniless, but are without the necessary clothing.
 It is the most disastrous fire in the history of the territory.

UNDER the captain of "A Southern Cavalryman,p the New York Press pays the following tribute to General Wheeler:
 If there are any politicians in this country, high or low, North or South, Republican or Democratic, who are trying to head of military celebrities on their road to the highest of politi- cal distinction they should keep their eyes on Gen. Joe Wheeler. It is rarely that such really charming character is introduced, or rather is emphasized flor General Wheeler was long ago introduced-on the stage of public affairs. The South prizes him, and the North must envy the South in the opportunity to prize him. The man has Q perfect simplicity of character, associated, so far as military matters are concerned, with a penetrative shrewdness as well as a high and intellectual order of courage. He is saturated with good humor, having an approving word for everybody whose
