WAYS oF DRESSING HAIR.
Plumes, Jewels and Wreathes All
Have Their Admirers.

The paradise plume is as popular In
colffure decoration as in millinery and
this soft, sweeping feather is more
easily adjusted in the hair than are
the little ostrich tips which rival the
paradise feathers in general popular
ity.
The full straight aigret IS much
worn in Paris-not the fine small al
gret for many seasons past used In
association with knots Of velvet or
tulle or with jeweled ornaments,
but such a big aggressive aigret as
has appeared upon many a modish hai
this winter.
Next to the jewel and feather orna-
ments the Partisan most fayors a sin
gle large rose or a cluster Of smaller
flowers.
A wreath Of simple green leaves
pointed in shape and arranged In Na'
poleonic fashion with the points meet
ing at the center front is an unpreten-
tious affair. but has charming possi'
biities in association with the right
cOiffure.
Wreaths Of small flowers are always
charming and some exceedingly at
tractive things are shown In THESE
floral wreaths in coronets.
A cluster Of roses posed at the leil
side Of the coiffure and holding cor
onet wreath Of maidenhair is good
design. Maidenhair Of gold and sil
yer. as we'll as roses Of gold and sil
yer. is much in evidence.
A wreath Of exquisitely natural yio
let's sprinkled with dewdrops is mos
attractive and wreaths made up o
tiny morning glories in all the deli
cate morning glory colorings shot VIII
silver are among the loyeliest OF tn
novelties.
In a very loose couture piled rathe
high a plain velvet ribbon run in an
out through the soft strands and curl
is considered particularly chic, espe
cially for the debutante.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The testt
mony Of Captain Edgar A. Macklin oi
Company c, Twenty-ffth Infantry was
taken by the senate committee on mil
ltary affairs in the Brownsville investi
cation. 1t proved interesting. partic
ularlv for the reason that Macklin IS tc
be tried by court martial after his re
turn TO Texas and for the further rea'
son that he was shot by an unidentified
masked negro at Fort Reno after the
negro soldiers were taken away from
Fort Brown.
Although there is no evidence tending
to show that the Brownsville ARRAY
was responsible for the attack upon
him. many persons have expressed the
opinion that the two incidents are CON
nectcd. particularly as he was the first
of the white officers TO produce damag-
ng evidence against the former sol
dicrs
lie does not now believe the negroes
were guilty Of shooting up Browns
Vile. according to his story told on
the stand.
The witness was cross examined
principally as to his whereabouts when
the shooting occurred and the evidence
given bv former negro soldiers that
they had been unable TO find the cap

rose sent them to arouse him. Captain
Nacklln said that he did not believe

and their statement would probably

AN ARIZoNAN RISING.

Through the courtesy of Major J. H. Stout, THE OASIS is in receipt of clippings from Alaska newspa- pers conveying accounts of move ment for the nomination and elec- ton of Mir. John P. Cum as Dele gate in Congress from that terri tory. Many old timers in Arizona
 will remember Mir. Clum, for in the early history of this territory he was a very conspicuous figure, filling with ability several impor- tant public positions. He was In dian Agent at San Carlos from
 February, 1874, to July, 1877, in which position he performed ef- fective and arduous service. It was Mir. Cum who arrested Geronimo at Oio Caliente, New Mexico, in April, 1877, and conveyed him to the reservation. The escape of the willy chief from the reservation the next year, his bloody depredations, the pursuit and final capture, are all parts of Arizona history; but one of the most notable in the long succession of attendant events was that arrest. He was postmaster at Tombstone also, and mayor of that

CANADA has begun to feel un- easiness at the silent invasion of Japanese that is creeping in at her doors insidiously. If Mexico would feel the same uneasiness, and both countries put into operation effec- tive exclusion laws, 1t would be better far than to permit the influx to continue.

ARIZONA, U. 5. A.

WITH heart rending throes Ari- zona purged herself of public gam bling with cards and wheels, but has left open more insiduous and dangerous form of gambling: the bucket shop. Hardly a town of any consequence in the territory is without its institution of that kind, with its big blackboard whereon are displayed daily quotations of all the leading stocks, and many wild cats; while many who were driven out from the old form of gambling, have turned their atten- tion to the new way. And it will be just as hard to suppress that as it was to suppress the old style or make the great mining companies pay taxes.
