CHANGING FASHIONS FOR MEN
When Use Of Powder and Of Snuff
Boxes Died Out.

The French revolution had its ef-
feet upon the fashions of 1900, as well
as upon matters of more weighty i'm
port, the tendency being greatly to
simplify costumes, says the English
Illustrated Magazine. Young men in
England adopted the short coat, light
waistcoat and pantaloons inaugurated
in Paris by a certain set who affected
to desire the old court fashions.
The use of powder made more ex-
pensive by taxation, quite died out and
short hair became universal.
Trousers and Wellington boots, at
first worn only by the military, were
adopted by civilians about 1914, and
the dandy of the early Victorian era
wore his tightly strapped down. He
also prided himself on his starched
collar, which had gone out Of favor
under George ", who preferred a
black silk kerchief or stock.
The snuff box vanished and the char
acteristic ornament of the age was
the bunch Of seals hanging from the
watch chain. Various notifications
took place from time to time during
Queen Victoria's long reign, but tho
form of mems dress practically re-
NAMED unaltered.
The knickerbockers and tweed suit
of the country gentleman are of COM
paratively modern date, as well as the
wide-awake and cloth cap.

The girl felt her knees give way, and
she sat down. Tears slowly welled up
in her eyes and overlooked, blurring
everything.
The duke got up and went over to
his desk, rummaging among the pa
pers. He returned to the girl with a

Judging from the press reports, New Mexico is going to make a hard stab for statehood, the house committee of congress on territories having set a date for a hearing of the sister terri tory's claims. We sincerely hope that New Mexico gets what she is after, if for no other reason than that Delegate Bull Andrews may write senator be- fore his name. Several years ago when Bull first became prominent in New Mexico he boasted that he would be a United States senator before he died and he is getting old now, hence our desire to see New Mexico attain state. hood.

CHRISTMAS DRUNK FULLY

Man Sentenced from Fairbank Gets His Liberty from Judge Doan On One of the Most Peculiar Pleas Ever Recorded.

One of the most peculiar pleadings set on record in the district court of Cochise county for some time was placed on file yesterday in the affide- wit of Thos. McCalish who was applying to the court for writ of habeas cor pus, says the Bisbee Review. The sec ond paragraph reads as follows:
 "Petitioner further alleges that he was on or about the 26th day of De. cember influenced by the occasion of the anniversary of the birth of our Lord, the Saviour, to an unusual feeling of keeping peace on earth, and good will toward all men; so that in response to 'he general impulse that pervaded the good people of the village of Fairbanks, toward generosity and charity to all mankind, and being full of the milk of human kindness, did unwittingly and without reconciliation or intention ab- .sorb and imbibe certain brands of Fair banks libations at the numerous and re- peated invitations of his friends and neighbors, to such an unwonted enthus- iasism and exhiliration; whereupon, a certain peace officer not having the fear of God in his heart, and being influenced and moved by desire to show his au' thority and subdue the enthusiasm of this petitioner did arrest and take this petitioner before the said justice of the peace on charge of disturbing the peace.
 "Petitioner admits that he was Lightly intoxicated at that time, but denies that he was disturbing the peace in any manner, and further alleges that immediately after being brought before said justice of the peace was assaulted and knocked down with a six-shooter then and there heldin the hands of said justice of the peace, and was thereupon without any further proceedings prompt ly sentenced by said justice of the peace to pay a fine of two hundred dollars or in defaut thereof to be imprisoned in the county jail at Tombstone for a per iod of two hundred days. That being unable to pay said fine he was by said justice committed to the custody of said John F. White, sheriff, with whom he now abides.
 "Petioner further alleges that said sentence is in excess of and beyond the jurisdiction of said justice of the peace to impose under the law,and therefore alleges taht the same is void. .'
 io nannlacc tn that thu writ was granted when the case was called before Judge Doan and the prisoner went on his way rejoicing, and resolved that he will not hereafter spend his future Christmases in the village of Fairbanks, as he believes that the of. ficers of the settlement do not possess the proper friendly feeling toward all humanity that they should have at that time of the year.
