Nests on the Water.

1t is almost unthinkable that q
bird should build a nest on the water.
Yet that is exactly what the grebes
always do. With reeds, grass and
plant stems the grebe makes a regu-
lar floating island, somewhat hol-
lowed out on top, usually near the
open water Of a marshy or reedy
lake. We have several kinds Of
grebes, but their. nests are much
alike, sometimes moored to the reeds,
but usually floating freely on the
water.-"Nature and Science" in st.

Practical Suggestions.

Chiffon broadcloths, henriettas and
the heavier eolians can be made up
without the silk slip Innings, though
even these set better when worn over
the we'll made slip. In selecting
eolians, be sure it is the wool and
silk, not the cotton and silk combi-
nation, for the latter, while some
what less expen5ive, wrinkles so cas-
lily that it must be constantly pressed
to be at all presentable.

SUPREME COURT GETS BALDWIN
 CASE
Appeal of Negro Convicted of Murder Near Roosevelt, Will Be Heard By High Court on May 23.

PHOENIX, May 7.-The papers in the appeal of William Baldwin. the negro convicted of the murder of Mrs. Harvey Morris and her A.tle daughter near Roosevelt last winter have been received at the office of the clerk of the Supreme Court. Clerk Tritle was directed by Chief Justice Kent to in form the attorneys for the defense that the case would be set for hearing on May 23, and that an opportunity for oral argument would be given. Baldwin is now in the Tucson jail
 The papers, which are very yolum- inous, show that the defense offered a most vigorous contest at every step from the preliminary examination of the defendant until sentence was pro- nounced upon him. It is doubtful if in the history of courts so much has been done toward the saving of q friendless negro charged with the most horrible of crimes; and not only charged, but believed by an entire community to be certainly guilty.
 The papers show that no arguments were made before the jury. It was evidently apparent to the attorneys kLdl LudL "Oulu DC q HetoAS OA N2AilS and they therefore decided to carry the fight into the last court.
 The appeal is based on the usual grounds that the verdict was not war ranted by the evidence; but there was irregularity in the constitution of the grand and trial juries and that there was an error by the court.
 The attorneys appointed by the de fense were George R. Hill, c. l.. Raw lins, F. c. Jacobs and Edwin F. Jones, assistant United States attorney, though the record does not show that MT. Jones took any part in the pro ceedings.
 The prosecution was conducted by District Attorney George J. Stoneman of Gila county, his assistant, l.. H. Henry, and Lee \. StrattoR, district attorney of Graham county, where the case was taken on a change of venue. It is reported that one of the argu- ments for the appellant before the Supreme Court will be made by one of the foremost members of the Mar icopa county bar.

MINES AND SHELTERS.

A gentleman, for long years a res ident of Fl Paso, recently expressed surprise at the remarkable similarity in point of situation, environment, re- sources and general prospects, exist ing between Douglas and the Pass City.
 A careful analysis of the situation and conditions surrounding Douglas leads to the conclusion that our future can hardl.- be oVerdrawn from an op- timistic standpoint.
 The one oyershadowing feature which will not down, which cannot be explained away, and which looms up more consistently every day, con sists of the extraordinary mining re- sources existing to the south of us and inevitably tributary to this port of entry.
 It has become practically settled in the opinion of those best informed in | the premises, that the Moctezuma dis trict, with that measure of enterprise and development which will shortly be In evidence in that great field has no peer on the map of Sonora.
 The Pilares mine is conceded to be a greater compact proposition today than the central property in the Can , anea district.
 The 1900 ton concentrator which will shortly be completed and In operation there Is simply the opening wedge to be followed by results all over the district which at thfs time cannot be estimated The .Pilares is demonstrat- ing every day that it's ore. body is per haps greater in point of extent than l even the United Verde, while its num- erous neighbors reach away to a great CT distance than can be said in re- gard to the surroundings of any other property in Arizona or Sonora. Then the Bacoachi, the Transyaal, the Tabatacochi, the Churi Mababi the Luck Tiger, the Santa Rosa and the Tordillo districts, the output oi which will all flow into or through Douglas, with the sprinkling of innum- erable smaller propositions through out that field, combine to make up the greatest aggregation of mining re- sources which the capitalists has ever been called to contemplate in the southwest. and Douglas will reap the benefit of all of this along with the traffic and all other incidental forms of industrial activity which will nat urally attend it's development A meeting of the stockholders of the Elizabeth Gold Mining company was held in Douglas yesterday.

Bloodthirsty, vindictive, treacherous, crafty, scOrnful of suffering, brave un- to death when at bay, more cunning than the fox and of infinite patience on the trail, the Indian has proved more than a match for the whites in the jungle. It is certain that more whites than savages have perished in forest fighting. But in a set battle the red man is without steadfastness and perseverance. The least reverse dis heartens him. After the first mad rush his purpose wanes, and the slightest check is apt to dispirit his capricious mind.-Lynn Tew Sprague in Outing Magazine.

CARD GAMES.
The Earliest Played In England Were
 Imported From Spain.

The Earliest Played In England Were
 Imported From Spain.
 Spain is generally believed to have sent us our first card games. "Isl hom- bre," or ''the man." corrupted by us into ''ombre," was probably our earli- est card game in England, and that must have come from Spain. Also the oldest packs of cards found in England show spanish symbols, such as cupus. maces and swords. Another popular English card game in the sixteenth century was trump, clearly a form of the Spanish game triumfo.
 Cards could be bought in 1545 for twopence 6 pack. These were very wretched specimens and most inferior to those produced by the Cardmakers' company of London, in which Charles l. created monopoly, with the fnan- cial genius of his race by buying them up cheap and selling them at q high price. In this he was q more open rogue perhaps than his father, who forbade card playing in Scotland and indulged in it himself at every oppor- tunity.
 Cards have always been royal game. Queen Elizabeth played cards and lost her temper over them fire quently. She was no Anne of Austria to play "like a queen without passion of greed or gain" In her reign was commanded to be played 'at Wynd- sore Ccmedie or Nora! devised on a game of the cardes," which resulted in the performance by the children of her majesty's chapel of "AlexaEdcr and Campaspe," in which the pretty lines occur:
