DELEGATE SMITH
 CAN NOT ATTEND
Democratic Convention at Tue son-Says There is Good
 Chance for Success.

In a letter to a friend in Tucson received yesterday. Delegate Mark Smith states that he will be unable to attend the democratic territorial convention in Tucson on May 2s, ow- ing to the fact that congress has talk en on some new measures and that he has a number of bills pending which require his presence in the national capital. He states that he wsll re- turn to Tucson as soon as he can get his work in Washington cleared up.
 Discussing the prospective demo cratic nominees for the presidency. Delegate Smith states in his letter:
 Everybody here knows, as every body at home ought to know, that I am and have been for W. J. Bryan's nomination, without any qualification whatever. He is by far the strong est man in our party, and believing this, would deem the nomination of any other a danger to it's interests. He should receive the support of Ari- zona's people for the same reason that Foraker should have received their support, because they are both in every way qualified for the presi- dency of the UnIted States, and they are both friends of Arizona statehood. Bryan has always stood upon a plat form promising immediate statehood for Arizona, and he does not known how to equivocate. What he says he means.
 q see a great chance of democrat ic success next fall, and l know of no better means of securing it than by nominating Bryan for the presi- dency. He deserves and should have our hearty and enthusiastic support" !"

 The woman of today demands that silks be soft, pliable and cling to the figure so as to accentuate it's lines.
 She will not a moment consider the use of stiff, unwieldy fabrics.
 This has resulted in the manufao. ture of exquisite chiffon taffetas that drape as softly as crepe. Of these lat. ter there is an abundance to choose frou this fall, as we'll as the supple brilliant liberties, which are being daily more used for the wonderful creations of the Paris modiste.

Andrew Tardieu Finds Cohe- sion of Family in Boston and

PARIS, May 13.-New York's 400" highly amused Andre Tardieu, the famous foreign editor of the Temps, with it's naughty airs and pretensions. Writing Of his observations in so- ciety during his recent visit to the United States, he has this to chroni- cle about Gotham's smart set:
 ''Tne recruiting of this sacred bat talion is a curious study. Those who belonged to it a quarter of a century ago still speak patroniZing- ly of the newcomers.
 "It is said that strategy to secure a position in it often lasts for years. The embassies are the first point ol attack. Taen from that base Of oper- ations the salons are conquered Then even when Washington is vaa. uuished New York may still hold out.
 Questionable life is the hardest of all businesses. Five o'clock teas are greatly esteemd in Washington. One of the most interesting is that oi Mrs. CoBles, President RooseyeH's sister, who is most charming in man. her

 The Americans give the impress sion of being a very young people, who, though sure of their own su periority, are a good deal concerned about the opinion of Europe.
 "The longer one lives in the United States the more evident 1t is that there is no such thing as the Amer ican type, especially ip regard to the women. The American woman is a European product-that is, in their novels and plays.
 "In Puritan, intellectual Boston, more than anywhere else, the women have that cohesion of family which characterizes the French. They have a certain independence, but not entire liberty of movement They talk less. They are not so devoted tc fashion as are the women of New York and Washington. Their chief originality Is intellectual They can talk to you about politics, the rela tion of church and state or Paul Bourget's latest novel They speak French admirably, which is kind certificate of distinction. Yet withal they are not blue stockings"

THORNLESS CACTUS
 PROVED ID DOUBTERS
EI Paso Man Has Specimen of Luther Burbank's Freak
 in Plant Life.

Charles A. Young, with leaf of Luther Burbank's thornless cactus, to prove to the doubters that it is really without spines, spent a few hours in Fl Paso yesterday during which time he was the guest of his old-time- college mate. Rev. H. B. Robison, says the Herald. MT. Young left last night enroute to Chicago, but stated that in about sixty days he would return to Fl Paho and, through arrangements which will be made by the chamber of commerce, probably give a public talk on the new thorn less cactus. He had with him a month old leaf or pad as they are caued of the Opuntia or what before its spines were taken away by scien- tific culture was called a prickly pear
 But it's spines were gone and the bright green surface was as smooth as silk and as bare of spines as the palm of a persons hand with little brown velYety spots where the spines once were. It measured about ten inches it's longest way, about six broad and perhaps half an inch through.

be yalueless for anything else with almost no water, is 200 tonR. The cactus is reproduced by simply plant ing leaf in the ground. From three to five leaves sprout from this leaf and so on indefinitely. It is eaten with relish by stock and. as all cat tlemen know the spine variety is frequently prepared by southwestern cattlemen for stock by singeing the spines of. 1t is then fed to stock, but considerable loss of life among
 he animals results sometimes on ae- count of thorns which are not de stroyed by the fire.
 On the spineless kind there is no such danger and Mir Rurhank's eff forts have even improved the origi- nal cactus in size and meatiness. An analysis of one of the varieties de veloped by MT. Burbank shows wat CT, 94.01; ash, 1.35; protein, .61; crude fiber, .54; starch, etc, 345; fat, 04.
 It is useful for hedges and it's leaves are valuable for food for all lands of stock, including poultry; fat young leaves may be used as food, and are admirably adapted tor poul- tices; the fruit is unique in form and color and has a very superior flavor. It makes dlicious jams, iellies, etc, while the juice of the crimson varie- ties makes a harmless, pleasant tast- ing coloring for jelly, ices and confec- tionery.
 Alcohol may also be manufactured from the plant at much lower rate and wIIh greater results than from corn.
 A company has been formed In Los Angeles which has taken over all of MT. Burbank's thornless opuntias and will exploit them, not having any cacti for sale, however, EntH after June 1,1909.

Color Note Comes from Paris.

A rather unexpected color note has recently arrived from Paris, so em- phatically rung, however, there is no possible mistaking of its intention to make 8 prolonged stay. It Is nothing more nor less than bright vivid pur- pie, and Is being reQuisitioned for mil linery alike with costumes.
 IA notable instance of its successful service was found in sleeveless, fine cloth, long -basqued coat, cleverly cut to just escape the figure back and front, yet at the same time bearing no suggestion of the one-time popular sacque.
 Worn with a handsome Irish lace toilet this coat created quite sensar ton at a representative crowd of Paris elegantes, crowned by white crino- line hat. massed in front with violet velvet leaves.

MARKETS AND POLITICS
 HARD TO UNDERSTAND
Pennsylvania Bond Issue Flo
 tation Will Be Beneficial.

It is a little difficult to understand why 1t is that railroad securities are advancing in price while the prices of the metals are falling. What ever the reason d the falling of of the metal prices, the advance ii rail roan securities is good reason for be- heving that the metal prices will soon be affected by the buoyant feel ing in the share market AS soon as the railroads get some money they will begin to place orders for equip ment and this will raise the price of metals. Thus the successful flotation of the Pennsylvania s40.000,000 bond issue will in a short time show its beneficial reaction on the metal mar ket.
 Of course, politics are expressing great part of the peoples time and attention, and it is probable that metal prices will be rather low for some time. It seems strange that the time a man spends on the street corner talking politics with his neigh bor, instead of putting in a new zinc rain-pipe on his house, will effect the zinc market. but it does and every metal is affected in the same way. The cobbler talks politics and drives less brass nails. so the copper maFket is affected. The plumber and the plumbers customers talk politics, and so less lead is used. Of course, these little matters are probably Of less importance to the metal market than the tendency to hold of contemplated enterprises of magnitude till after election, but 1t is the combined action of lot of individually unimportant things that always makes election year a poor industrial season. Real ly. there is no reason for holding back because of politics. Our govern ment is so firmly established that the individual public officer has really lit tie power nowadays except as he is skillful in reading alright the pop mar will
