A MEXICAN MANSION
The Palatial Home of ". C. Greene
 at Cananea.

H. w. Taffe returned yesterday from Cananea where he has had charge of the inside painting decorating and papering of Col. w. c. Greene's new house of which a great deal has been written The house now nearly com plete will cost about $100.000, will be the most costly mansion in the state of Sonora and excepting some of the palaces of the City of Mexico. the handsomest house in the republic.
 The cost for papering alone is con- siderable item. The paper exclusive of the duty upon it cost S9S0. In one room alone the lace curtains and carpets cost 5000.
 For the last three years Col Greene has had no settled place Of abode but he and his wife probably spent more time at the Waldorf-Astoria than any where else. He is going to settle down now at Cananea and live much less in the east.
 MT. Taffe is glad to get back to Phoenix. He says he does not envy Col. Greene or his magnificent man sion, since it is situated on the other side of the line. Cananea is a busi- ness town all right, hut MT. Taffe says that on account of the numerous rob berries it is not safe to be out at night, and he does not like to live in any place where he has to go to bed with the chickens. He is not used to that kind of a life.
 The thugs of Cananea make a cleaner job of a holdHup than the thieves of any other locality. A victim is mighty lucky to get home with his clothes. A night or two before Mir. Taffe left one of his friends managed to escape with his under clothes but the night before that another man returned to his domf- cile stark naked.
 One of the latest victims was Billy Waters, formerly of the Phoenix foot ball team. He happened to fall in with a more considerate gang than or dinary. They took none of his clothes but got all his money, his gold watch and every article in his pocket whethei they were of any value or not.
 Col. Kosterlitzky of the rurales hap pened to come into town the morning following that robbery and he spent two days upon it but could obtain nc clue. The footpads are taking long chances for capture in the present state Of feeling of the officials means deatf and those whom Kosterlitzky happens to take will not be given the chance of a trial.

Short Skirts for Summer

seasons. is being still used on the short
wash skirts, and, strangely enough
when it is used is fuller than formerly.
AT the closing of the skirt at the back
the inverted box pleat is to be used
pretty generally. When it opens at the
side the e7aruangement is GENERALLY work
ed in an inconspicuous manner, with
the trimming of the seam, in which it is
placed.
Tailored finishing Of stitching on all
the seams and in generous allowance
around the bottom of the skirt is the
favorite mode of trimming. Many OF
the seams have three rows of stitching
to make the seam and two other rows
on the seam Tapped, on the outside
While this is comparatively an incon-
spicuous manner of trimming, it is
dainty and neat.
Marrow. wash braids. in dark colors
and white, are also used.
Crash is the most clinging of all The
fabrics mentioned above, and pidue th'
most crisp and starchy in appearance
The others are of medium character be
tween these two extremes Of style.

Woman's Perfect Age

It was Thackeray who decided that
the age of the Venus Milo was 80. This
we may take as expert authority, and
so regard 80 as the era when a woman
is at her perfect moment of full bloom.
Certainly it would seem that from this
on to 40 are the years when she is most
apt to feel and to inspire great love, says
Ainslee's Magazine. Some one has an
Inounced that Cleopatra WAS 3S when
she and Anthony kissed AWAY king
doms," and some one else has declared
that Helen of Troy was near 40 whea
Paris was smitten with her beauty and
embroiled the gods and heroes in bat
tie. And as these two women have a
reputation for attractveness unequal
led since Eve gave ear to the serpent
we may take it that the age of charm is
nearer the days of Indian simmer than
the days Of spring buds and young
leaves.

The vehicle was owned by Emil E.
Wagner, a brother-in-law Of the dead
girl and the hitter was serving bread
at the time OF the accident. The fact
that she was seated IN an inclosed
wagon and because OF the noise OF the
approaching train was dcadened by
the elevated structure being erected at
that point. She failed to hear the ap-
pronch OF the passenger train.
There were no watchmen mt the
crossing. which was an unusual oc-
currence as the railroad company
since running the safety gates to make
room for the elevated road, has had
two men stationed az this point to
warn persons Of approaching trains.

their absence young womans life
