 QUERY: Where does one hear most "post mortems"-at a bridge whist game or base ball game?
 Monday Mrs. Seymour and Miss Seymour, from La Colorado, ar rived from that place for a short business visit at the Sonora capital. Go to the Bank Saloon, opposite railway depot at Hermosillo, for finest brands of wines, liquors, ci- gars and draught beer.
 Mir. A. T. Perkins, from the Altar district-at Tajitas-is visiting in Hermosillo. He is engaged now to go to the Tarasca mine, near Torres.
 Mir. J. s. Carroll from Fl Paso, who is sojourning at Guaymas, was one of the great crowd who came up from Guaymas Sunday to take in the ball game.
 Mir. Allen c. Bernard, represent ing the interests in Sonora of Mir. w. c. Greene, was at Hermosillo Sunday afternoon, an interested spectator at the ball ground.

 Henry Cohen, who had been visiting in Guaymas some days, returned home Saturday, to pre- pare for the crowd of his friends coming up from Guaymas to wit ness the ball game.
 Willie Barnett of Nogales, now at Empalme, was an interested spectator at the ball game Sunday. The Hermosillo crowd were scared badly with a fear that he had come to pitch for Guaymas.
 Mir. Robert Graham from Hue. pac, was at Hermosillo, early ir the week. He was conspicuous figure at the base ball game and the badger fight Mir. Graham re- turned recently from visit in the East.
 Mir. Charles P. Reinegar, iron Payne, Ohio, has bought from Mir J. c. Besley the Noche Buent mine, near Soyopa, and contem plates extensive operations in tht property. MT. Besley retains an interest.

 Tomorrow the Empalme and Hermosillo hines will try com clusions again, (the two having played on the Guaymas ground a couple of weeks ago, with score of 2 to 0 in favor of Empalme) i; and next Sunday the Douglas nine will play the Hermosillo nine. The latter game will terminate the season, as the contracts with some of the players expire on the 18th inst, and they have to return to their work in the East.
 Mir. George Chase, who has been out to Tajitas in the Altar district, engaged in mill construction for Mir. H. J. Sisty, has returned to Hermosillo. He is engaged now to go to Huepac, in which vicinity Mir. Robert Graham is about to begin construction of mill upon a valuable gold mine.
 Sunday Mir. Howell Jordan, right of way agent for the Cananea, Rio Yaqui x Pacific railway, ar rived at Hermosillo from Nogales, reaching the capital city just in time to witness the ball game. No sooner had he alighted from the train he was in a hack that went flying toward tbe entrance of the ball ground.
 Sunday Colonel Allen T. Bird of THE OASIS, returning home from Guaymas, stopped at Hermosillo, ito frame an incorporation" as he explained; but he was at the bad ger fight and at the ball ground in the afternoon, just the same. And he appeared in the best of spirits and in good company. He was ac- companied to the badger fight by Henry Cohen, nor was he "by his lonely" at the ball game either.
 Some of the ladies of the Quay mas contingent who attended the ball game Sunday are the most en- thusiastic fans who ever mounted a grand stand. And they were up in all the fine points of the game. But among the Hermosillo con- tingent they found a number of their own sex who were equally enthusiastic and ardent in their appreciation of the sport. It was amusing to see representatives oi both sides good naturedly laughing and jeering at each other as fine points in the play were developed on one side or the other, or when there had passed critical situa- tion which had held all in a state of tension for what had seemed ar age-although only an instant.

THE COWBOY.

The cowboy was man of few
wants and simple tastes As the type
did not always pose for the artist. let
us take a glance at him in everyday
life. That he was self reliant there Is
no doubt. His loyalty to his employer
was only equaled by his independence.
Being amenable to kindness and con-.
sideration, it was not uncommon for
him to spend the best years of his life
in the employ of one man. spurning all
offers of promotion or advance in
wages from other quarters On a
northern range and at the close of a
hard summers work a soulless cattle
company discharged the greater por-
ton of its men and reduced the wages
of the others. Among one of the few
retained was an ungrateful Texan.
When notified of the company's pro-
posed action by the superintendent he
replied: That's all right, Mr.. Blank.
You can cut my wages in the mouth
of winter if YOU see fit. but I'll give
you notice right now that the first
spear of green grass see in the spring
I'll quit YOU" And he did.

New -orx state has tested fairly it's
ability to deal with home work along
lines of regulation. Its present law, in
form. at least, is a wise and farreach-
ing measure. 1t aims to prevent manu-
facture under unhealthfuls conditions.
Licenses are not to be granted until
the records of the board of health and
the tenement. house department and
the report of a factory inspector agree
in declaring the house free from in
sfectiouS, contagious or communicable
disease and from any defects in sani-
,tation. inspections are to be made at
least once every six months, and Ii
censes may be revoked at any. time
when unhealthful conditions are found.
In each workroom there must be at
least 500 cubic feet of air for each
worker and only members of the family
living therein may be employed.
1t is due largely no doubt to the
manufacturers gains from home worl.
that past attempts to meet its baffiin s
problems have been 50 effectively OBJ
structed. The present attempt to reg
ulate home work in New York state is
the result OF a long fight against those
conditions of employment Familiarity

A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW.

A well known scientist has been max
ing an intelligent prophecy as to what
sort of a place the world will be In the
days of our great-grandchildren. He
has carefully studied the progress of
the race from the dawn of history to
the present day, and he has worked out
his deductions on the principle of a
proportion sum. They make rather in
teresting reading.
If we are to believe him, there will
be no vehicular traffic in our streets,
but moving payements and a moving
roadway. which win carry the people
and commerce of the towns. Where
one street crosses another the first will
be raised in the form of bridge. Where
a number of roads converge, as at Pic
cadilly Circus, in London, the sight
should be worth seeing.
Coal will be superseded by electricity
derived from natural forces such as
the tide and the sun. and the smoke
and dust of our cities will be gone for
ever.
Crime will be unknown. for the influ-
ences and conditions that cause it will
be wholly removed by needed reforms
Trains will travel at four times their
present speed. and ships will not cut
the waves. but glide along the surface
and be propelled wirelessly by electric
currents from the shore.
So far, SO good. But when the same
authority tells us that ladies will cease
to wear high heels and pretty frocks we
begin to doubt whether he has studied
the human race so deeply after all.

In the larger cities the problem of
doing away with child labor has been
complicated by the home work scheme

industry in which every member of the
family, even children of tender age. is
kept at work at all hours and under
the most revolving conditions. This

of children between the ages of ten

that of this million and three quarters
