was cheap coat or a cheap skirt that
could be worn on rainy day with
impunity. There never was a cheap
dress that did not show it's cheapness
mercilessly in a good March gale.
Women of wealth in New York City
pride themselves on having a very
nice outfit for rainy or windy days.
They say it locks poor to go out hold
ing up ones everyday dress when
the heavens are sending down their
drops and the winds are whistling.
To prove this they order their expen-
sive wet weather costumes Of Fifth
avenue tailors, and sally forth in them
on a rainy day to show how we'll
equipped they are for all kinds of
weather.
Many of these rainy day dresses
have oilcloth bindings, which look
quite pretty. On the inside the bind
ing is carried up six or eight inches
higher than on the outside, so that it

The finest. thinnest oilcloth is used
for this purpose. At the rubber stores
you can buy cloth by the yard at a
price of something like fifty cents.
Others select the plain table oilcloth.
RUBBER CLOTH.
Rubber cloth can be obtained in
Scotch plaids and in plain colors with
face which closely resembles ladies'
cloth, thus giving very neat appear
ance.
Tor windy days skirts can have tiny
weights of lead to hold them down;
but those who do not believe in adding
weight to a woman's skirt Ixay prefer
to stiffen it with very heavy crinoline,
which is warranted not to blow up.
Others still select a rubber binding
which answers the purpose well.
Allihese rainy-day dresses are made
ankle length, for it would be a poor
sort of dress that drabbled through
the water. Many of them have adjust
able contrivances by which they can
be lifted and lowered again in case OF
fair weather.
Business women's suits are delight
fully trimmed. In New York City you
see more stylish women going to bust
ness than you behold in the shops.
Knowing that so much depends upon
a business woman's looks. the bust
ness woman of New York keep them
selves remarkably well dressed.
modish, up to date, trim, tidy and
| pretty; and that is one reason why the
business world of New York to-day is
ruled partly by women.
There are numerous rainy-day soci-
cites in New York, composed of wo-
men who make a study of dresses to
wear in inclement weather. The

a TAX MEASURE.
A Proposition That VIII Meet With Gener-
al Approval.


Charleston Gazette
The preamble and resolution intro
duced in the House on Monday by Mr..
Bowman is a measg1Ee in the interests
of~the people. The inequality Of as
sessment and taxation in West Virginia
is shameful. Phe purpose of Mr.. Bow
mans resolution is TO correst this
abuse.
With the one exception of religious
fanaticism, the subject OF taxation has
been the foundation of more wars than
any other, and IL is time the people
were taking hold Of this subject with
firm hand. No wonder people invest
in bonds instead Of buildings, and no
wonder there are in late years measures
in every legislative body authorizing
the issuance Of bonds. The assessor
can catch the building. but il Is hard
for him 10 catch the bondnolder and
b0Odler. That which is in sight cannot
escape the tax gatherer. but the fellow
who owns the bends has an immunity
that is unjust and outrageous Mr.

ter appears to have been WRITTEN TO
an official Of the town of Kinywocd

For services of this kind The State

while acting as the attorney for the
State, and advising the Board of Pub

'eThe Rainy Daisies, s the nlelll1
of the club promising to adopt short
skirts when streets are muddy and the
spring thaws make the crossings ankle
deep in slush, are called, are busy pre-
pairing for the inevitable March wind.
When perfect cyclone sweeps through
the valleys between the tall buildings
on Broadway, making an umbrella i'm
possible, and when the rain beats from
every direction, the comfort of a short
skirt and waterproof garments can be
appreciated.
RAINY DAISIES!
The Rainy Day Club has not uni
form because each member has her own
particular ideas as to how rainy day
dress should be made.
1t is generally like an ordinary bicy-
Gle dress. The skirt is to the ankles.
Sometimes an entire suit, consisting of
a cape and skirt, is made of dark blue
rubber cloth, though more often rain
proof serges and cravenette are en-
ployed.

This morning Stephen Miller called

This morning Stephen Miller called at the Orb office and stated that yester- day Mrs. Miller had, upon visit to the cemetery to look after the. graves of members of her family who are there buried, found horse grazing within the cemetery grounds, and that the grasses and plants that had been placed by loving hands above the resting places of the silent ones, had been injured and in some instances destroyed, presum- ably by the animal she saw there, which it was subsequently, learned is the pro- perty of the man who is employed by the cemetery committee as caietaker for the cemetery grounds. The care taker states that his horse was thought lesely allowed to be loose within the grounds while he, the caretaker, was employed in digging a grave. He hay ing ridden down from his work in town to dig the grave. However, he was of the impression that it was not his horse that caused the damage complained of, since in some places the cemetery fence is in such poor condition that rowing stock have more than once recently broken into the grounds. It is by no means probable that such a condition of affairs will be permitted to continue after the attention of the cemetery committee has been called to the matter. The committee is composed of V. R. Stiles, chairman, Emil Marks, A. w. Sowie, Michael Cunningham, John Bowen, J. B.. Angius. The ORB Is aware that the cemetery association has been hampered by want of funds. If such be the case now, our citz zens will surely cheeriully respond to call npon them for sufficient funds to protect properly -four city of the dead" --.

COPPER IS THE METAL.
The Cochise Copper Mining Company,
 # Bisbee, Arizona.

This company owns very valuable group of mines situated in Warren mining district, county of Cochise, Arizona, lying immediately east of and adjoining the town, of Bisbee, and ad- joining the property of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company on the north. The latter company has been in operation tor about twenty years, and employs about l,50O men daily in the operation of its mammoth mine and smelters, and as, a result has produced copper to over 34,OOO, ,OOO pounds during the year 1898, and the net proceeds of such production are reported to have been over $2,000, ,00O, and 1t has been said by experienced miners who have been under its em- ploy for years, that the Queen mine now has sufficient ore in sight to keep it in constant operation for the next twenty years without further de- velopment
 Is it not reasonable to believe that the property of the Cochise company is fully as valuable, when it is within such close proximity to such won derful mine?
 
 workings of the Queen property can easily be felt and heard at the shaft of our mine, and oftimes the concussion has attracted marked attention.
 The original owners of these yalu- able mines are local business men, we'll and ,favorably known in Bisbee and surrounding vicinity, who are doing their utmost to make this enterprise a success in every respect. The board O. directors are original owners, and are donating their services to the com pany until such time as the mine will pay dividends. They own the con- trolling interest in this property, and as a protection to stockholders have placed their entire interest in escrow for a term of one year.
 The stock books of our company are now open for subscriptions, and a linn lied number of shares are offered at ten cents per share. No application for less than 100 shares will be ac- cepted.
 The company reserve the right at any time to advance the price of shares without further notice, or to reject any application for stock at their discre- tl0nt
 Every cent received from the sale Of stock will be expended toward the de- velopment ot our property and the erection of hoisting works, and all other necessary improvements, and to make our enterprise a success in every particular.
 We invite investigators and their experts or their engineers to closely scrutinize our property.
 Applications for shares may be made to any of the directors of the com pany, or to any of our legally author iZcd representatives.
