The WOOdmen's Ball.

~ '"PPs iosSc. peduNiiul NOulcu ullu handsome costumes are, as we have always been led to believe. the neces- sary adjuncts to successful ball. then the WoOdmen of the World, to whom is due the credit of furnishing the terpsi- chorean treat to the people of Flagstaff on Monday evening last, are to be con gratulated-for certainly none of the essentials were missing. The weather was perfect, the management excellent, the costumes faultless, the music sub- lime, the supper palatable and the dancing suberb. What more. Ma Chere?
 The most gorgeous costume was worn by J. D. Raudebaugh, representing the "Prince of Carnivals.' and the most simple by George Hochderffer-that of gentleman. But the surprise of the evening was centered in Mrs. $. M.

After hard struggle the honor of dancing with the mysterious one fell to Lawrence Quinlan, the Beau Brum- mel of Flagstaff society, disguised as an Atchison brakeman, and he certainly was happy: that is to say, until after the unmasking, after which he was nowhere to be found.

pany several days ago, The men also
appointed a committee to confer with

make known their decision.
Under the terms OF agreement new

thirty days notice, consequently the
old scale Will be In force until February
win strike after that date, it the new
scale Is insisted on. The new scale
touches about everybody at the steel
mill. and many OF the men are asked
to take heavy reductions. In fact. the
extent OF the reduction almost took the
breath away from those affected. and
those employees say they will not sub
nit without q bitter fight.
The steel works resumes as usual
this morning. and may continue until
February q. There are hopes o: COM
promise being reached before then, and
all efforts to bring about satisfactory
settlement will be made. In deciding
not to accept the reduction yesterday
the men were almost unit.
Nothing new has developed regarding
the differences at the company's plate

side weakens Some dispute has arisen
whether the extra heat asked by the
company doesn't necessitate reduced
wages. II doesn't so far as the heaters
are concerned, but the helpers say that

they would get less money for more

insist that not being affected. by the

and they point. In addition, 60 the cut

There are some assurances, though.
that the trouble at the plate mill may

WOMAN HORSE BREAKER.
Meets Success by Never showing ths
Fear of Her Mount.


1t Is universally agreed that even
homely woman who has mastered the
art OF equestrianism looks well when
In the saddle. When.the rider is pref
ty and sits her horse with ease and
grace of course the beauty OF the pic
ture is much enhanced. Hence 1t is
that Mrs. Annie Benson, wife Of pros
porous farmer living near Fowbles-
burg, Nd, is regarded by all who know
her to be an exceedingly pretty sight
when seated on her favorite thorough
bred mare. Mrs. Benson is a slender
blue-eyed country OF we'll
rounded figure and has been riding
member anything. She began riding
when she was years old, and hCr
father used to put her on the back OF a
great animal while he guided the plow
behind. She has broken colts. been
kicked and bitten by horses, thrown
out of buggies and had divers other eX-
periences of the kind, but has never
been thrown from the back of horse.
Mrs. Benson says, in discussing the
difficulties which confront girls Just be-
ginning to ride: THE entire secret OF
being a good rider l think, lies in not
being afraid of your horse. This is the
one great essential but there are some
other things just as necessary to know.
When girl gets on horse, II she is
in the least bit frightened, the horse
knows 1t, and that knowledge has de-
moraliZing effect upon it, especially II
1t happens to be thinking horse.

sometimes six or seven miles. OF
course they are so young that I make
them travel very slowly and never
allow them to run, for fear Of weaken
ing their backs. 1t is not customary to
break a colt before he is three years
old, but these were such big fellows
that thought they could stand 1t.

GLASS;,

A change from old methods is that
of fashioning glass by machine pres
sure instead of molding by blowing.
In the pressed glass the articles are
either made by hand or machine pres
sure, and this innovation has done
much toward making glass articles
much cheaper than formerly.
Only in the last two years have
there been changes in the method Of
glassmaking. From time immemorial
the materials used have been melted
in large pot, the modern ones hold
Ing from 1000 to 1900 pounds Of glass;
a number OF these pots being heated in
one furnace. At present in some of the
new establishments these pots have
been replaced by huge tanks or rec
tangular boxes of masonry holding as
much as 400 tons of the molten glass
Attention was recently called to the
proposed use of glass brick in build
ing. 1t is now said that the govern
ment Of Switzerland has approved the
use Of glass for making weights to
be employed with balance scales. A
peculiarly tough kind of glass Is to
be selected for this purpose. From
England comes the suggestion that
glass would be better and moro lasting
material than stone for making monu-
ment which are exposed to the wear
ing action of the weather.
No industry except that Of cloth
manufacturers has contributed 70
much to the comfort and Advancement
Of man ~ that Of glassmakinS, which
is one Of the Oldest Of technical indus

Consul willIams' Plan.

Consul o. f. Williams, who has had
as much to do with Aguinaldo as any
one else, has this solution of the
difficulty: He strongly favors the
United States retaining the Philip
pines, and as method OF conciliating
the natives he proposes that the United
States shall pay to Aguinaldo and his
secretary of finance dollar for dollar
every cent that has been expended by
them in conducting their war against
the Spaniards. This probably will
amount to about S5OO,O0O in gold. The
insurgents will then be fully reim-
bursed for all money expended in their
campaign. Then in addition the consul
suggests that every one of the insur-
gents who has fought or who has
turned in his arms be given $50 gold
piece, more as an expression of good
will than anything else. 1t is under
stood at Manila that money will do
anything with the native Filipino. Ev-
cry man has his price and everything
is for sale. Even Agulnaldo and his
leaders were bought once and doubt
less can be bought again.

descence have been tried. but they have
bgen too clumsy to be popular. lndl-
Gators, to give warning OF the presence
OF gas by means of a little bell, have
also been ingeniously contrived, but
they were open to the same miners
objection of being too complicated, and
1t was difficult to arrange them 30 tnat
they would work neither too quickly
nor too slowly. So the plan OF the
"davy' still remains the most practi-
cal, and it Is that one which is meant
by the term safety lamp, and against
which the miners criticisms are d.
rected.

EmPLovmEnroF DRINKING MEN
An Interesting Inquiry by One of Uncle
Sans BureauS.

same tureaubs
A circular containing several inquiries
was sent out by the United States COM
missioner of labor several months ago to
persons and companies employing large
number of men. The object OF the invesu-
CATION thus instituted was to ascertain
something about the, relations Of the drink
habit to labor. over 1000 establishments.
which employ nearly two million men, re-
piled. The answers have almost the sig
niiicance of n census. therefore. Commits
sioner Wright has just published sum-
mary of them.
Out OF 6.796 employers 5.S63 said that
they were accustomed to consider whether
person was in the habit of drinking
n place. The employers who did not take
this matter into consideration numbered
1913. The industries represented in this
report were agriculture. manufactures,
portation. The largest percentage of em-
ployers who inquired about drinking was
among those engaged in trade and trans
portation.
plicants habits were usually direct in

guard against accidents. because of

Of unreliability of drinking. men" Dis

OUR SUGAR COLONIES.
Danger to American Producers-Presidenr
Plan of Protection.

Plan of Protection.
IL we take the Philippine islands and
Cuba In addition to Hawaii we will
practically control the cane sugar of
the world, says the Chicago Record.
They produce nine-tenths of the total
supply of cane sugar. but Germany.
France and Austria produce immense
quantities of beet-rOot sugar. The pro-
ductive capacity of Brazil sugar is
enormous, but coffee Is so much more
profitable the planters prefer to grow
1t. Under bounty the Argentine re-
public has been making rapid progress
In sugar production, and is now ex-
porting 70,00O,OOO OF SO,OOO,OOO pounds
a year. 1t is grown In the northern
part Of the republic. Peru is good su-
gar country also; but most of Its prod
ucts are consumed at home and in the
lneighboring states. Sugar is the best
staple in the British West Indies,
which have been on the verge of bank
ruptcy ever since the reciprocity treat
les with the United States were re
voked, and are now being sustained by
a grant of money from the crown.
There is good deal of nervousness
among the beet-sugar growers of the
United States as well as the cane plant
ers of Louisiana concerning the effect
of the admission of these great sugar
growing islands to the United States
but they can depend upon the Presi-
dent to use his influence with Congress
to secure Legislation that will give them
adequate protection. He will never rec
ommend the admission of any Of the
captured provinces as states, or even
territories, but his plan is to erect them
into colonies with broad liberal gov
ernment Of their own like those of
Canada and New Zealand, under our
protection and supervision, and impose
n tariff on imported goods sufficient to
pay the expenses and for public i'm
provements that are greatly needed
On the other hand, it is proposed to
admit their products into the United
States under such restrictions as will
preserve our industries from undue
competition.
