Miss Greene watched him mo-

others who had come up to see Burns

briefly. he proposed to outline for them
the legislative steps by which woman's
right to equality with man had been
at least partly recognized.
He fumbled for a moment among
the papers on his desk, until he found
one of the pamphlets Miss Greene had
given him. and then he said he wished
to call the senate's attention to the
employment act of 1872, the drainage
act of 1885, and the sanitary district
act of 1890. Vernon spoke quite IA
miliarly of these acts. Furthermore,
gentlemen would, he was sure, instant
ly recall the decisions OF the courts in
which those acts were under review,
as. for instance. in Wilson Vs. Board
Of Trustees, 1873 Ill. 443; and in Daven-
port vs. Drainage Commissioners. rs
Ill. App. 90.
Those among the senators who were
lawyers. as most of them we're. looked
up from their letter writing at this,
and nodded profoundly, in order to
show their familiarity with vernon's
citations. although, of course, they
never had heard of the cases before.
This recognition OF woman's nat
ural right" Vernon shouted. this rec
ognition Of her equality with man, can
not be overestimated in Importance"
He shook his head fiercely and struck
his desk with his fist. But then, hav-

in Miss Greene's pamphlets. he was

 Mir. Munroe's testimony was in eff feet, that, although the Union Pacific made a profit on the freight handled. a proper proportion did not come from lumber. He-thoughtth the railroads were entitled to an advance in the, rate on this commodity.

They have been gone thirteen days and in that time have visited New Orleans, Chicago and Milwaukee. They did not visit Mex ico owing to the quarantine which was established in some of the ports.

A REGULAR AVALANCHE
 OF GERMAN POST CARDS
Views of Phoenix and Surrounding.
 Country at BaIke's Big Curio Store.

Those who want to see more post cards than they ever saw before. should call at Balke's Big Curio store An installment of 4O0,OOO was receiv- ed yesterday from Germany-forty different views, 10000 of a kind. These are all views of Phoenix, the valley and the surrounding desert This is by far the biggest lot of postcards ever brought to Phoenix and it is only the first installment of an order which the Big Curio placed with the most famous of Ger man postcard manufacturers. They are sold at a penny apiece.
 It may be said that these prices will not prevail very long so that those who want to avail themselves of them should call early
 Another lot of matrix turquoise was received yesterday. The matrices were sent by the Big Curio store to Germany to be cut. So that they are native Arizona stones and have a special value on that account
 A special price has just been made by the Big Curio on Russian brasses, with the view that they may be utilized as wedding gifts. It is little early for June Weddings, but the brasses will keep, and beside, there will be weddings before June Nothing would be nicer for new made bride than one of these ele- gant pieces.
 A speciality is also being made by the Big Curio store in graduation gifts of various kinds and the gradu- ation season is now not far away. In the meantime, intending givers would do well to call and look over the wide variety of suitable gifts.
 There is some misapprehension growing out of frequent advertise ments of the cut price sale at the Big Curio store. Some have thought that MT. Bake is preparing to quit the curiO business. That is the farth- est from his intentions, for the de- mand for curios has increased with every month and he expects to en- gage in the business much more extensively than ever
 When he closed the Hotel Adams store and removed the stock to the main store he began trying to close out that stock at prices in which the profit had been entirely absorbed. The stock was new too, but there was too much of it for the room he had and there is too much yet. so that it has to be closed out.
 Speaking of the matter yesterday. MT. Bake said that he believed that he had been specially ordained by providence as a purveyor of genuine and reliable curios and he is not go- ing to fly in the face of providence. so that he will be found at the Big Curio store for years to come.

Horace did not dwell there the year

in extent
The discovery of Horace's farm and
the frescoes on the walls of his villa
can add nothing at all to our knowl-
