on this side of the water is not SO much
a question of propriety as one of con-
venienoe; for even those restaurants
which are nearly altogether dependent
on the patronage of women make few
concessions to their preferences
The restaurant question is not one
which interests alone the, business or
professional women forced to live in
boarding house, but the woman of lei
sure who goes shopping or who is some
times compelled to spend few days in
a strange city unattended and unchap-
eroned, is also deeply concerned.
What women like in a restaurant are
clean and quiet surroundings; no fussy
Mattresses or naughty, shrill voiced
Jeans and Pierres insolently demanding
fee. The restaurant of the future,
which will be popular with women. will
pay the walters an adequate salary and
make it rule of the establishment that
no fees shall be accepted. A card stat
ing this rule can be placed on the print
ed menu to notify guests of the fact.
The walters. whether men or women,

only reason why women prefer male to

The third point is to have 1t as freely

THE care of the nails is very i'm
portant matter to all persons of
good breeding. A nail which is
indifferently groomed is an abomina-
ton in refined society. Even in the
humber walks of life there is no ex-
cuse for rough, harsh looking nails,
for it is comparatively easy and in
expensive to keep them in perfect
condition. 1t is especially unpardon-
able for a woman to neglect the care
Of the nails, for women are Hooked up
to as models of refinement and good
taste. To large extent the care
which a woman bestows upon her
finger nails indicates her character.
Many men and women who are oth-
erwise very fastidious in regard to
their appearance are totally unmind-
full Of their hands, contenting them-
J selves with detailed attention to mat
ters of far less consequence.
One would suppose that the busy
nail that performs SO many useful
offices would receive the care to which
1t is entitled for the reasons before
stated.

 The cyanide tests with the Butters method having proved successful MT Butters has contracted with the Grand Central Go. to handle daily 400 tons of tailings-200 tons directly from the mill, and 200 tons from the tailings dump, in which are many thousands of tons with an average value of S5 gold. As the process takes out the gold completely, at small cost, there will be saving of a vast amount of money. Work of excava- tion for the new plant is in progress, at the point of the hill beyond the Amarillas mill, overlooking Prima- vera. Thirty large tanks will be erected, each to hold 130 tons of tail- ings, and an engine and boiler, with connections, etc, to work the agita- tors in the tanks, which will keep the tailings constantly stirred. Instead of upon zinc as in other processes, the Butters process precipitates the gold upon lead sheets.

Two Americans Killed by yaqui Indians,

Two Americans Killed by Yaqui Indians.
 On July 18th Messrs Remley and Miller of Hermosillo, the former of the firm of Remley & Lewis, and the latter we'll known photographer, left this city in sulky for a trip to AlamOs from whence they were going to secure horses and proceed to the Sierra Madre mountains, where MT. Remley had prospect. They ar rived at Torin on the day of the 20th and left on the afternoon of the Fist, intending to camp out that night near small town named Bacum. After being out few miles from Torin it is not positively known whether they were on the road or in camp it IS pre- sumed that they were camping for the night, when they were attacked by Yaquis and killed in most horrible manner. Their arms and legs were bound with rope they had used fora stake rope, and after that their hands were cut off inch by inch and their feet the same way. Then with an- other rope they were strung up to a tree and were found hanging the next morning by company of soldiers, the sulky being burnt and the horse shot to death. The bodies were either taken to Torin or Cocorit, it is not known yet to which place. At the time these gentlemen had several hundred dollars with them in paper money.
 Mir. Miller was an old time Ari- zonian and first-class photographer who had resided in Globe for years. He leaves no family.
 MT. Jack Remley was widely known and better fellow was hard to find. He was for long time messenger on the Sonora road, afterwards was Wells Fargo agent at Hermosillo for number of years. He leaves wife and five children who reside here.
 Since writing the above news has been received that Senor Aurelio Pa redes, brother of Jose Maria Paredes, of the house of M Gaxiola, had been killed by the Yaquis while in a boat with several others, the Indians shoot ing from the shore.
