When Hanging Curtains.

A house decorator gives this impor-
tant advice TO women who are arrang-
Ing their homes. They should not
hang curtains Of one color against a
wall paper Of another color. They
should not join carpets OF opposite
tolors. They should not put different
papers on the walls of adjoining rooms,
which have wide archways or folding
doors between. These are simple sug-l
gestions, but they rsean great deal.
The woman who is guided by them
viii arrive at much better results than
she who ignores them When 1t Is not
possible to have the carpets alike in
rooms that are joined by wide epen-
lngs a rug should be laid over the long

Explosion in Letter Coal Mine in Zeiglsr,
III

Duquoin, Ill.,, Jan. 12.-With the re-
covery Of addition bodies during the
night it is thought that all victims OF
the Sunday explosion at the Letter coal
mine in zeigler have been accounted for.
Most Of the corpses are SO mutilated
that Identification Is difficult. Four of
the victims are Negroes, four are Ameri-
cans, and thirteen are foreigners. IF
forts to establish the cause of the ex-
plosion are in progress. Experts who
had inspected the mine after the recent
fire in it declared it safe and full prepa-
rations for resumption of mining had
been made The men killed yesterday
were cleaning lip the last of the debris
left by the fire fighters. and it had been
expected the coal would be hoisted to-
day. The most widely accepted theory
is that the explosion resulted from IRE
damp coming in contact with spark
from an electric trolley. There was but
little damage to the workings.

lows as o logical conclusion that suc-

and shows shat women are not only
desirable but an absolutely necessary
pert Of any body polite"
Indeed" he continues, athe very
i6ea of political community without
women would be an utter absurdity."
He represents the male half of the race
as cracking the whip" over the fe-
male half, and says that the subordfna-
ton of woman is "the political crime
OF the ages" These is, he says, 'no
escape from congressional action, and
he contends that there are now over
twenty millions of free intelligent and
desirable citizens of the United States,
who for want Of congressional acsion
alone, are living under absolute despo-
tisin." In the meantime millions Of

item can't be overlooked, that Parker had a rousing good time on the even ing of the 17th inst in honor of that fabled serpent exterminator and fa- vorite saint of the sons and daughters of Erin Go Bragh."
 The large dining room of the Par ker hotel was converted into a ball room for the occasion by mine host, Tisdale, and the same was appropri- ately decorated in Ireland's only color by Miss Rowley, assisted by a number of patriotic friends. Dancing began at S:30, the music being furnished by Frank Cope. banjoist from Bouse, and Howard Elliott, violinist, of Needles. Those who did not care to dance en- joyed the evening at cards. Sand wiches, cake and coffee were served near midnight and soft liquid re- treatments (the only thing that was not truly Irish) throughout the even ing.

you can't be good, be as good as you can" No resident of Parker, so far as the writer can learn, has yet vis- ited the Bouse- -Salome-V -Vicksburg strike or the Salome- -Bouse- Vicksburg strike or the Vicksburg- Salome- Bouse strike, or whose ever strike it Is, but several people have come from there to Parker and, honestly, in no single instance, was any great en- thusiasm expressed. Before once seen, visitors to the strike, buoyed up by their y-chloride-oxhide inn aginations, reasonably expected to find at least 4,0OO ten-foot holes, the walls of which were literally checked full of gold, ready monumented and awaiting their location notices, but when seen, ye God, Mammon; the ship loads of gold that passed in a night of dreams, the like of which Solomon's Ophir was a mere pros pect, Topped them in thirty seconds from their exalted expectancy of gold galore into the sulphide slough of despond.
 There is hardly a week that passes that some claim owner does not bring into Parker free gold bearing ore from some property adjacent. It is reliably stated that the Billy Mack mine now has ore that is known by the owner where it exists in the mine, that assays up into the thou sands, and specimens have been and can now be extracted from the same that are one-half gold. Nearly as good can be said of the Newman and Wilson properties in the River side; the Dunkirk, Whipple Mountain, Viati. Bowman, Stake and Brazel, in the Whipple mountains; Copper Ba- sin, Billy Mack, Quartz King, Cyclone w. & O., Carnation, American Eagle, Boughman and a hundred others up on this side of the river carry good gold values. Most of them have pro- duced specimens and there is hardly one of them but that could scrape to- gether enough specimens to create an excitement, but that isa not what is wanted in any of the districts men, tioned. Every foot of likely ground in the country surrounding Parker that shows mineral in place is owned. A strike causes worthless adjacent ground to be operated, wild catted or otherwise, which is a detriment lD lut wen utlAAtu ar that are being held for their known worth.
 While Parker in herself is busy these times in building houses, repre- sentatives of some of the largest min ing concerns in the United States are here investigating mines and, more than that, some important transfers are going to be made.
 Parker wishes Bouse- Salome- -Vicks- burg many happy returns over their big strike and trusts that each will receive such results therefrom that their prosperity will grow each one of them into actual opulent arrogance before the end of the year.

General Hope That a Later One Will Be Granted--The Late Ball Game and Dance. A Parker View of the Bo- nanza Gold Strike.
By Tom Shutz.) CLOSING UP THE SURVEY.

Parker, Ariz., March 24-The sur vey of the townsite was completed last Saturday and only a few more days will be required for Captain Strover to finish his tracing of the plat and wind up his report. We'd nesday morning of this week Captain Strover began the appraisement of improvements on the lots and this will probably costume several days. At any rate, his report will be for warded to Washington, D. C., on or before April l.
 The plat as completed shows there are 2S2 blocks and fractional blocks, which average gives 3,070 full lots. Out of the thirty six blocks, or 432 lots that were open for requirement by the agents permit, there are now less than 100 lots remaining. Maj. M. r. Holland, the agent, states that unless he receives orders to the con- trary from the department, that he will assume the responsibility to open for requirement in the same manner as formerly another section of blocks.

THE GREAT STRIKE.

It is wonderful how gold affects
 some people. Let a strike be an-
 nounced and a few chunks of be-
 speckled porphyry brought to view
 and such a rainbow chasing panic
 ensues that the wheels of progress for an hundred miles around are clogged
 tighter than a peanut in an ele-
 plants trunk. When gold is found in the rough the happy owner usually shies his whiskey flask and canteen over the first sage brush he sees and lights out for town, inwardly assert ing that it is nothing but champagne
 and cocktails that can ever wet his whistle in the future. Hundreds quit work and rush to the find to gaze distractedly at a shallow hole in the earth and listen to the "geologists'' who tell them just how it all hap pened; all returning with adjoining locations ranging from one to seven miles distant from the hole, or op- tions to purchase for S500,000 the hole itself. Another hundred gives the newly made famous owner the glad hand-no introduction is neces- sary-insists on keeping him company, likes to be seen near the ore, could not possibly be more interested in it if he owned it himself. Trains run slow and citizens at a distance who are anXiously awaiting the details as to be described by specially selected writers, swap experiences that they had passed through of a similar character dating back for the past sixty years. Citizens of adjoining towns clamor for the privilege of be- ing announced as the nearest, safest and cheapest point to the new find" and would move the mine to the town or the town to the mine if such a thing could be possible.
 The people of Parker have read with absorbing interest the pen pie lures as drawn by competent writers

pulled off last Sunday on the latter: diamor0. The special train for the occasion pulled out of Parker al 10:30 a. m., with more than eighty passengers On arrival at Bouse the visitors enjoyed themselves as they saw fit until the calling of the game at 1880. Dr. Whitmarsh of Parker was selected as the umpire of the plate and Mir. Ward of Bouse was the umpire of bases. Shultz of Par ker and Gerhart of Bouse were the scorekeepers.
 Parker's nne-up was as follows Kelly, If; Dickson, ss; Riddle, If; Pentland, c; Strover, 1b; McKelvy 2b; Crabb. Sb; Murphy, of; Graves, pitcher.
 Bouse listed her team as follows: Strange, C.: Carrigan, D; Fuller, 1b; Duey, 2b; King. 3b; Scott, ss; Sonoque, If; Brown, Of; Gibbons, D.
 The visitors were accorded the bat and came out without a run. The home team followed with a like re- suit. The second inning gave neither side a score, but in the third each tallied a run. In the fourth Parker ] failed to score and Bouse added an other tally. In the firth inning Par ker run up three to her adversary's one. In the sixth Parker gained an- other run, but allowed Bouse to make three, which put the balance decided | ly on the other side of the score sheet. In the seventh the visitors made another tally, likewise did BOuse in her turn. The eighth and ninth developed nothing more than a half | dozen cyphers for the visitors; they gallantly threw up the sponge with out requiring the Bousers to play their last half of the ninth. Follow ing is the score by innings:
 Parker .....O O1O3 O10 O-5 Bouse ....O o 1 l 0 3 1 0 X-6
 The game was interesting and was played with vigor. All were short on rules and as consequence two or three friendly squabbles occurred on decisions. The grounds were new and the wind was strong for most of the game. It is a question if it was not the wind that lost Parker the game, for Bouse gained the lead by erroneous throwing of the Parkerites, who figured that on account of the stiff breeze it required more ginger Dtlllu tne Ddll. bTdNtS Illcneu d good game for Parker, though some claimed that he showed weakness in the last three innings. Carrigan, for Bouse, displayed great power. While his pitching was irreguler. for all the writer could observe, that might have been his business. Anyway. he man aged very successfully last Sunday in keeping the base bags from being trampled to pieces by the visitors.
 The return game will be played at Parker on Sunday, April 4. when it is pretty generally believed that Parker will redeem her temporary losses, and will for the rest of the season demon strate that her team is the best on the line.
