WASHINGTON CAMP

These three claims are about one mile south of the Pride of the West mine, which at the present writing is the most conspicuous property Tn camp owing to the large number oi men employed and the large and reg ular shipments ofore. Bacon worked the three claims year or more, re- ducing the ores, which near the sur face are lead and silver in primi- tive Mexican furnaces The civil war and consequent military oper- ations elsewhere so occupied the at tention of the general government that for a time Arizona was with out protection, and the Indians be- coming troublesome, Bacon with drew from the country in 1863, and

In 1883 Jerry Nevill and Frank Olsen relocated the Washington ground under the name of Pride of the West, and i'll 1886 Mr. N. H. Chapin bought an interest therein.

There was decidedly cool weather
the first half of the week, with light
1rosts on the morning of the 18th; the

er' but hardly warm enough to pro-

All parts Of the state but Kittson and

locally heavy, and in few places ac-

Soon after one o'clock Sunday morning,
at high tide and in dense fog, she ran
ashore. From the first there was no
danger. Lifeboats and tugs were soon
literally swarming around the vessel to
render assistance. A majority of the
passengers, who numbered $50, were
brought to Falmouth, where they OBJ
tanned lodgings for the night. Capt.
Watkins reported that his ship was ly-

that there was no occasion for any

RANAvALO. QUEEN OF MADAGASCAR.

and always escorted by the vigilant
minister, but her appearances in pub
lie were few and far between. Once,
it is true, the royal negro blood bub-
bled over. Incensed by the presump
ton of an inferior and the usurpation
of her hereditary rights, she revolted.
This exercise of spirit gained her moth
ing more than a stricter regime of i'm
prisonment, for Rainilaiarivony, indig-
nant that his authority had been ques
toned, resolved there and then to put
an end to the attempt at woman's
rights and only screwed the irons
tighter. In fact, so closely was she
confined that it is said that the only

monotonous life was flying paper kites
from her bedroom window.
Things were much gayer for her at

riages at her disposal and enjoyed more
outings in a week than formerly in

greater freedom, which, with her year.
ly allowance of $4,000 from the French
government, and a comfortable villa,
ought to render her exile tolerable.
Queen Ranavalo is slight, of average
height, and her copper complexion in
a way conceals her 80 years. Her face,
though far from pretty, is agreeable,
and it might even be said that there
is something attractive in the ensemble
of large, tender eyes, short, slightly
flattened nose and thin lips. Though
of a remarkably sweet disposition, the
little queen has will of her own, which
France saw very plainly in the several
revolts at Tananariva. When it was
known that she was expected at Mar

The curious were much astonished at
seeing, instead of a swarthy, ungainly
negress, a most graceful, dignifed
woman, dressed in green silk, richly
trimmed with passementerie, and wear
ing a black picture hat with feathers
and roses, coquettishly perched on the
side of the slightly woolly mop.
The queen has always been decidedly
fond of dress and jewelry, and although
she had only "a hours in which to make
all preparations for quitting La Re-
union, the quantity of baggage she
managed to get together is astonish-
ing. There are cases and cases contain

some of the new sunshades, and quite
the newest thing of all is the scalloped
edge finished with ruche of the same
silk. The ruching is very narrow and
three rows are the usual number, put
on with spaces between. Lace inser-
tons and frills are also used for trim
ming, and the same little cords and
tucks seen last season are set in from
the tip to the edge of the plain sun
shades.
Most of the dressy parasols have
some trimming of white or black or both.
Black chiffon parasols made over
color, violet, for example, and trimmed
with punches of violets caught in chif-
fon rosettes are among the many styles
in sight. White chiffon and lace para
soils are an indescribable succession of
pufs, shirrs and frills, most beautiful
to look upon, and are trimmed with
clusters of flowers or ribbon rosette
bows. One variety is shirred in tucks
all over, and each tuck is headed by a
frill of narrow lace edging. Moire silk
parasols in the light colors are especial
~ pretty and are made quite plain.
There are brocaded silk parasols, too,
and all sorts and conditions of handles,
the natural wood stick being the pre-
vailing style. Colored silk parasols COW
cred with chiffon decorated with ap-
plique lace are another pretty novelty
for the few who can afford an assort-
ment in this article of dress.-N. Y.

DETERMINATIONS were as follows: For
lieutenant governor, George Prigs]ey, of

voring woman suffrage; election of sem
ators by ballot; commencing Secretary
Long in suppressing the canteen on
board American warships; demanding
one days rest in seven by all corpo-

that no one would accept the nominal
ton for supreme judge it was decided
to leave that portion of the ticket a
blank.

NOW LIVES IN ALGIERS.
RanavalO, Once Queen of Madagas-
car, Has Been Well Treated by
the French Government.

Queen Ranavalo has only her own
she has taken one more unwilling step
away from her countrymen and kins-
men in Madagascar. After the execu-
ton of her uncles two years ago she
was deposed by Gen. Gallieni and re-
moved by Lieut.. Durand to the island
of La Reunion, out in the Indian ocean,
to eastward of Madagascar. But there
Ranavalo was too near to her race and
to the throne she had quilted. There
were intrigues against the French,
(which I could not but overhear," OBJ
serves Ranavalo, with pious naivete,
now that the French government is re-
moving her to Algeria, where she may
be in no danger of ''overhearing" any,
thing prejudicial to the French.
The French were by no means sure
that their vigilance was evaded or that
the former queen was in anything like
active relations with her former SUBJ
jects, but there was the constant fear
that her dusky majesty's presence in
the neighborhood would keep alive the
hopes which France desires to annihi-
late.
Though the exiled queen yearns for
the land of her fathers, she certainly
has no sovereign dignity to regret, for
until three years ago the prime min
lister, Rainilaiarivony, was undisputed
master of the land and the nominal
queen lived as recluse in Tananariva
palace. When allowed to leave the pal
ace she was carried in a sedan chair

The German empress is by no means
economical as regards her dress,
though she does all in her power to be
so. Empress Frederick, on the con-
trary, spends very little ON her outer
adornment, and has always been noted
for the plainness of her clothing. All
the grand court toilets of the German
empress are made in Vienna, a few only
being made in Berlin. The trains alone
cost from $4,000 to $4,000, and they ara
of so great a length and so heavy that
her majesty is unable to walk unless

The Thirteenth.

Several inquiries have been received
IN Minneapolis relative to the muster
out OF the 18th Minnesota regiment.
There seems to be an idea prevalent
that Minnesota boys will lose from $75
to $lOO each if they come home before
receiving their final statements from
the army accounting officers. It has
been pointed out that muster-out on
the Pacific coast would mean about $73
in cash to each private, and that he
would receive this money and be free
to return to Minnesota or 20 else
where, as he chose. It is not believed
that q regiment so closely identified
with the state, that has made such
gallant record and maintained the
reputation established by the old First
Minnesota at Gettysburg, will vote to
be mustered out within 1900 miles of
home, after coming 10000 miles on the
way; nevertheless, it might be we'll for
the Minnesota folks to cable the boys
word of caution in this regard, for
the policy Of the department passeth
