The case of the Clifton orphans was
decided in the supreme court of the
United States Monday, and the deci-
sion was in favor of the people who
have the orphans, and they will keep
them. 1t will be remembered that
two years ago this fall a New York
orphan asylum brought a car of
orphans to Clifton, to distribute
among the Catholic families of Nor
enci and Clifton. The distribution
was arranged for before the children
got to Clifton, by a young priest who
then was temporarily IN charge of the
Catholic church. The people in charge
of the children, an agent and a couple
sisters Of charity, distributed the
children, and intended investigating
the people who took them the next
day. The children were given to the
poorer Mexicans of the towns, none Of
whom were fit to care for them. The
people In Clifton and Morenci took
the children away from the Mexicans,
and they were adopted by people who
could care for them. The agent tried
to get them back. He got some of
them, but most of them were kept by
the people who had them. They were
all legally adopted, through the pro-
bate court Of Graham county. The
orphan asylum people sued for their
possession in the United States court
at Phoenix. The court held that when
the asylum people turned them over
to the Mexican families they aban-
doned them, and the probate court.
acquired jurisdiction, and that the
people who had the children could
keep them. The asylum people APP
pealed the case to the supreme court
of the United States, and it was
agreed that the appeal should be in
the case against j. G. Gatti, and all
the other cases should be decided by
this one. The court dismissed the
case Monday, for lack Of jurisdiction.
The children have all got good homes,
and are well cared for.

A Boston dispatch to the Wall
Street Journal says: Silver is advanc-
ing in price, not because of any man
ipulation on the part of the Amer
lean Smelling 81 Refining Co., which
largely controls the silver market of
the world, but because of the remark
able demands for the metal for coin
age purposes and for the arts. Lead
ing silver interests predict 75-cent
silver by Jan. l and they say that 81
silver is in sight. There is now an
enormous demand for silver from In
dia and Great Britain, while, If the
present coinage demand continues in
this country, it is claimed there will
have to be an enlargement Of the
United States minis, or the building
of additional minis. The United
States government has already pur-
chased what it considered was its
silver requirements for this year, but
it win soon have to re-enter the
market because of the unprecedented
demand for silver coinage. There is
a big demand for silver dollars, but
the minis cannot now coin dollars,
and instead they are coming half
dollars and fractional currency, but
they cannot cope with the demand,
which comes principally from the
south and west. Mexico, which has
always been a seller of silver, has re-
Gently turned buyer. The American
Smelling & Refining Co. could very
easily manipulate the price of silver
to 81 per ounce by the first of the
year, but this is not the Guggenheim
policy. Such a course would lay Them
open to adverse criticism, and while
that company might temporarily
make more out of its ownership in
silver mines, it would lose in the
smelling of the ores THAT 1t buys, and
in the end it might lose more than it
could gain.

The county commissioners at their
meeting last Friday cancelled the
liquor license of the Owens Brothers,
at Tyrone. The evidence showed that
the saloon was neither in Tyrone nor
Leopold, but between the two camps,
and there were not an hundred people
at the place where the saloon was, SO
they were not entitled to a license.
1t is reported that the saloon will
continue until it is closed by the sher-
if, and then the case will be taken
into court. A new date, December 10,
was set for the viewers to look over
the new road between Lordsburg
and Silver City, and it is hoped the
weather will be such that they can
get out and see the country.

Gods Care.

People talk about special provi-
dences / believe in providences, but
not in the speciality. I do not believe
that God lets the thread of my affairs
go for six days, and on the seventh
evening takes it up for moment. The
so-called special providences are no
exception to the rllle-they are common
to all men at all moments. But it is q
fact that Gods care is more evident in
some instances Of it than in others, to
the dim and often bewildered vision OF
humanity. Upon such instances men
seize and call them providences. It is
well that they can, but it would be
gloriously better if they could believe
that the whole matter is one grand
providence.-George-M Macdonald.

Araminta's Proposal.
BY HELEN GRAY.

"Araminta, will you hand me that
ball Of worsted that's just rolled un-
der your chair? I'm making des-
perate effort to finish these socks.''
Certainly" answered Miss Aramin-
Ia Jones from her place in the bow
window, where she was pretending to
read the morning paper.
"You see, DEAR" continued Mrs.

Mrs. Jane Thomlinson being the on

which they called "The Fifteen" 1t
was generally conceded that Miss

Some of the old ladies declared that
had the Reverend Digby seen Miss
Alabama Stewart first, he would have
given her the preference, which re-
marks, of course, gave rise to little
rivalry between the two. But Mrs
Jane Thomlinson being arbiter, decid
ed in favor of Miss Araminta, and so
srend Digby in admiration Of Miss
Jones. In fact she was looked upon as
the pet and belle of the clan. Miss
Alabama Stewart, with sweet gra-
ciousness retired in her defeat, and
eonsoled herself by reading poetry and
playing solitaire.

minutes in silence.

modestly, '.you know he was here on

sently. "Now poor dear Thorn used

have a little grumble over this import

fast, and they could hardly have ex

All winter the Reverend Digby had
been paying his attentions to Aramin

old ladies decided that it was time
matters were brought to a point.
"Araminta is beginning to look :

A THOUGHT FOR THE unsuc-
cESSEUl n

= sI
When you, who have reached the summit.
The goal Of your long-sought hopes,
Look down from your crest, your glory and
rest,
To the ones on the dreary slopes.
Have you thought of the feeble efforts
OF those who are not so strong
OF the ones who strain and strive to gain
A place in the endless throng!
When the tide Of success engulfed you,
You who've attained the end,
And the songs Of cheer came ringing clear,
In harmOnys sweetest blend,
Have you thought Of the one who blindly
Cropped with an Outstretched hand
When your race was won did you see the
one
Who failed to understand?
You who have trod the pathway.
And know of it's thorn and stone,
And know what lies on the road ere eyes
All weary may claim their own,
Have you, with those eyes uplifted,
Whose goal may never be won,
Once given heed to the word and the deed
That might have been said and done?
