| feet in 80 seconds. Two witnesses who
| held stop watches testified as to their

| of the correctness OF the watches. This
concluded the Territory's case. For
| the defense, the motorman and con-
ductor testified that there were no I'M

they did not believe the car exceeded
II miles per hour.
Mr.. Pratt, the superintendent of the
road, testified that the car in question
was speeded to a maximum speed of IS
miles an hour and that it required
distance of about 400 feet from a stop
to attain the maximum speed and
about half that distance, according to
the usual practice in stopping cars.

miles an hour; that the service was so
arranged to give the public, upon rate
of speed within the limits of the law,
a rapid transit and close connections,
and that under all ordinary conditions,
without an unusual delay or accident, !
the speed was not exceeded, but that
in case any car was delayed, that car

What the Girls Will Wear.

According to Marion Kent, who writes on fashions for young girls, in the March New Idea Magazine, the dainty dresses for this spring and sum- mer are to be made of silk finished mo. hair, landsdowne, batiste and eolienne, besides the soft silks and the sheer fabrics. Hand work in it's charming mplici'y still supersedes elaborate trim mings, and "very many dainty frocks, are made entirely of the mater
 ial, utterly devoid of trimmings, and depending solely for decoration on the exquisit workmanship in the form of hand.run tucks, shirring, fagoting, piping, etc." Yokes, cut round or square, are to be used a great deal, and the "drop yoke," as we'll as berthas and epaulets, will keep the broad. shouldered effect still prominent. The skirts are to be still full, according with the prevalent "183u" ideas in clothes. Everything that can be done to a sleeve will be in fashion, and puffs, shirIing, and ruffles will hinder the very rapid arrival of the leg O. nut ton, which is az in coming to view.

The Warblers are Out.

The Nogales city council held a meet ing Monday night at which most i'm. portant busioess was transacted, name- ly, the passage of an ordinance which practically repeals the "gambling and women in the saloons" ordinance made law last spring, and transforms this border town from "wide open" to a high license community, and also pro. hits the employment of women in the saloons in any capacity.
 The new ordinance, which will be published four weeks before it be- comes effective, provides that no wo. man shall be employed in saloons or gam bling houses; raises existing gam bling licenses from GUS to 1908 per year, payable every six months in ad vance, and also makes all card games which can be played for gam bling pur' poses subject to the same license.
 No matter what has caused the city council to experience such complete change of heart in this direction, theil action will meet with the approval ot the great majority of the residents ot Nogales, and entities them to mucf praise. -Nogales Times.
