In the current issue of the Actors

performances in theatres. Put in this
form, it is too sweeping a general
ization, for the restriction on eacn

Dance Before Altar in Cathedral.


The boys enter the space before
the high altar, their hats under their
arms and their ivory castanets III
their hands. Having genufiected be-
tore the altar, they put on their hats
and take their places face to face,
each to his allotted position.
The four tallest boys are named
the "puntas," or heads; the four next
the "segurdos," or, seconds, and the
two smallest boys3are the "trancas,"
or bars. All through the various
figures their movements are infinitely
graceful and dign!1ied. The dance is
something like the minuet and the
children time their steps to their own
sweet voices, accompanied by the low
tone of the magnificent organ or the
pla:ntivc wall OF the violin.
1t is quite impossible to describe
the impression this strange and
unique ceremony makes on the mind;
the sound of those fresh young voices
ringing through the vaulted cathedral,
the click of the castanets, the throng
of silent spectators and the presence
of the archbishop, canOns and clergy,
all in their richest choir vestments,
combine to render the scene imposing
nay, almost sacred.

Hughes and the Trusts.

In the financial column of the
New York Journal of Commerce on
January 25 it was said; Downtown
bankers are thinking of organizing
to support Governor Hughes for the
presidency. He is ardently support,
ed by Standard Oil, but he may not
care to have this fact widely adver-
tised." AS the Journal of Commerce
is the most reliable authority on fl
nance and business, no doubt the in
formation that Governor Hughes is
"ardently supported" by the Stand
dard Oil Trust influence is true.
Where all the cash came from that
elected him governor has been a dis
puted question. Some said the Wall
Street bankers furnished "the boo
dle", but as the Rockefeller inter-
ests are so ardently supporting Gov.
Hughes for the Presidency probably
the same interests furnished the
bulk of his campaign fund when
running for governor and will no
doubt try to swamp the Democracy
with it's millions if Gov. Hughes is
the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent. These Republican reformers
have queer connections and will
bear watching.

{SE;ret Watches. First Fobs.

!; ,SSFirst Watches, First Fobs.
There. is. uncertainty as to when the
portable: watch, as we understand it
today. came into use. It was proba-
bly, at the close Of the sixteenth cen
tlry. Queen Elizabeth owned large
number of watches. Mary Queen OF
Scots was the possessor OF a skull
shaped watch. In fact. the deaths
head" pattern was at that time much
in vogue Endless were the styles.
for there were watches shaped like
books. pears, butterflies and tulips
The Nuremberg egg was a special
shape and was first made in 1900.
Those queer shapes of watches pre-
vented their finding a place in .he
pocket. When was the fob first used
in the dress of man? The German
of fob is "fuppe," and it is believed
that it came from England. This
conjecture is strengthened by the act
that a short fob" chain attached to

Cut Down Cotton Crop.

The suggestion is made by Presi-
dent Smith Of the Cotton Associa-
ton that the. farmers of the South
agree and bind themselves to cut
down the acreage again next year.
That is not because we have raised
too large a crop, says the Florence
Times but because we have raised
too small a one this year. The rea-
son for it is to be found in the fact
that though cotton is very scarce
now. though there4is practically q
famine, the spinners' who are oil
united. and included in their band
the spinners Of the South, just as
well as the spinners Of the East
and of Europe. are determined to
fight the reasonable demand Of the
farmer for a better price for his
product, and they have closed their
mills, shortened the hours of labor
and done everything else to starve
the farmer into compliance with
their demands for cheap cotton,
they have failed to very great ex-
tent, but they won so much success
that it is necessary for us to rise up
and smite them once. more a solar
plexus blow this time. !.
In the face of this famine, in the
face of the fact that they are trying
to pile one crop of cotton on
top of another so that it may be
cheapened, let us resolve to plant
corn and peas next year and cut
down the crop so that they will not
have wherewithal to fight us. Even
the determination to do such thing
would spread CONSERVATION in the
ranks of our enemies, for they no
longer laugh at the pretensions Of
the "fool farmer" when he says
what he is going to DO with mis- own
crop.
We will have them sitting up and
taking notice if we even talk about
it. We would rather make terms
and have a decent and fair trade
basis with the spinners, and under
standing that would be satisfactory
but they would not have itwhen we
were the under dog in the fight it
was unconditional surrender, and
now we are in a position to demand
an unconditional surrender as the
price of our ceasing to fight. 1t is
hard going through the war, war is
Just what Sherman said it was,
whether it be one kind of war or
but it is sweet to reap the
fruits of a we'll earned victory and
we will reap those fruits after a pc

TESTING FLOUR AT BIG MILLS.

After Grinding Sample Is Made Up
Into Bread.
"Tt is surprising to note the dif'
ference that exists between the Vari-
ors brands of -four" said 0. D. Hutch
lns0A, ,as representative OF &c of
the big mills in kim eapolis, M!Ea.
1T all depends on how the -four is
mi1led and on the kind OF wheat from
which it is made. Flour made from
lard spring wheat will give from 20 to
10 more loaves of bread per barrel
han that made from the softer win
:er wheat 1t contains larger per
;entase Of gluten and absorbs more
water. The mills are exceedingly
careful about the kind OF -four they
;end out, and the testing department
one Of the most important branches.
after the -four is ground comes the
crucial test. A sample is taken and
made up into bread. We have four
5akings day. and from 20 to 80
loaves are baked each time. each one
representing a sample Of flour. After
he test has been made the bread ID
turned over to the associated chari-
ties.

Democratic Harmony.

The nearest approach to harmony
where it is most needed in the Dem
ocratic party has been exhibited by
the unterrifed Democracy of New
Jersey. The leaders of all factions
joined together in banquet at the
the New Auditorium in Newark,
in honor of State Chairman
Robert S. Hudspeth who made
the fight in the last campaign.
Aside from the tribute to the chair
man the object of the gathering OF
the 400 leaders of the party from
all sections of the state was to get
together for the redemption of New
Jersey. Success attended these ef-
forts for the names of Bryan, Har-
mon, Johnson, Gray, Gulberson and
Daniel were mentioned and cheered
with apparent impartially. Har-
mony and victory were the keynote
of all the speeches. AS New Jer-
sey. like New York, is necessary
to success in the coming campaign
this hopeful outlook for all Demo
Gratis uniting for the support Of any
ticket is an omen of success that will
encourage Democrats everywhere.
If the discordant elements can:unite
in New Jersey theIe can be no good
reason for discord elsewhere.

T. J. Carrisan and Los Angeles Par ties Looking Over Mining Property in Bill Williams Section.

T. J. Carrigan. accompanied by two Los Angeles men interested in mining. were in the city yesterday and left last night for the Bill Williams country, where they will look at piece of min ing property known as the Dixie Queen group. This property is owned by Mir Carrigan, Emil Holden and Henry Cowell of Wickenburg. MT. Carrigan had not seen the Dixie Queen but from MT. noldens accounts there has been struck a very rich and prom ising ore bOdv.
 IL has never been thoroughly pros pected, but enough development work has been done to show the extent of the ledge. Assays have run s to 15 per cent in copper. to 12 per cent
 in lead and some additional values in gold and silver. All the title work has been done on the group and the vein runs from 80 to 160 feet in width The formation is of porpyry and slate. MT. Holden said that he believed that it was the biggest strike he had run across in his experience and was very enthusiastic regarding its future. The Dixie Queen is located only one and one-half miles from the Bill Williams river. where an electric plant can be built for operation of the mine when the proper development stage is reach ed. There is a good road from the mine to Bouse. fifteen miles away. and will soon be one to Parker. The Dixie Queen is located close to the Arizona Montana mine in which l. T. Hosey is interested.
 Regarding the Clara mine Mr. Car rigan said that on the 21st of March an extra force would be started to work on the property. Operations have never ceased there but the plans are to go ahead more extensively than ever. Plenty of capital has been se- cured. Boston parties being interested in the Clara to carry out the plans undertaken. MT. Carrigan had some fine specimens of ore taken from the bottom of the shaft. 195 feet down. The gold showing is much coarser than that on the upper levels. Mir. Carrigan said that it would run now about F to 15 ounces gold. to 12 ounces silver and 6 per cent in cop per His son. Tom Carrigan jr., will be in charge of the mine when the ex- tra force is added.
