Some of our most recent productions are
set with opal or turquoise matrix. These beau
tiful stones readily adapt themselves TO the
designers fancy and the results achieved are
most satisfactory.
Baroque pearls have In the past been
unappreciated. but the new art" has brought
them into use. and visitors to establish
nnentvvill find these odd pearls. set in variety
of artistic designs.
One of the interesting developments of the
present revival of art In iewelry, is the use of
the long-neglected cameo. The present indi-
cations seem to warrant the belief that this fine
product of the stone carver's skill will soon
come into deserved favor. We display few
choice examples.

some Instances OF the Gambling
spirit That IL Prevalent
In Arisona.

The gambling spirit seems TO per
wade a large share OF the population
down here IN the southwest; II goes
from the sublime 10 the ridiculous,
Cards and dice sit as judges on many
questions that affect the future well
fare Of people. Recently two young
fellows were arrested on the charge
OF burglary,ggiyen a preliminary hear
ing' held to the grand jury, and were
subsequently indicted. In the district
court later, says a special to the Chi
cago Inter Ocean, one OF them pleaded
guilty TO the charge OF breaking into
a house and stealing clothing and
other articles, and was sentenced TO
two years and q half in the territorial
penitentiary at Yuma.
After the trial was finished and the
prisoner sent to the penitentiary it
became known that the mode of de-
tense had been previously agreed upon
by the two men by game Of seven
up, played in the county Jail with the
other prisoners gathered round as
witnesses 10 the transaction. They
had agreed that the one beaten In the
game Of cards should plead guilty to
the charge, exonerate his ,accomplice,
and take whatever punishment was
meted out by the presiding Judge.
The younger OF the two won the game
=
by one point, and his opponent abided
strictly by the terms of the agree
ment, and pleaded guilty, accepted
the sentence without murmur, and

Another bet that turned out badly
for one of the principals happened
a short time after. A young fellow
who had been arrested on some charge
OF not very serious nature, made
wager with a fellow prisoner that he
would break Jail and ride out Of town
with the sheriff's own private saddle
horse. He had in some manner Sc
'reted pick in his cell and the fol-
owing night succeeded in digging his
way out through the stone wall and
made his escape from the Jail. He
