FASHION BROWNS ON HOBBLE
 SKIRT

NEW YORK, Nov. That the hobble skirt, the tOOthpiek hat and the nipless gown are all doomed to early extinction is the cheering mes sage brought from abroad by the dean of the millinery department of the Household Arts School of Col umbia University, whose mission is the scientific study of becoming dress. Close fitting gowns are to continue in favor here, but extremes in cut and eoloring are to be abandoned. The same authority makes the pre- dietion that the fashion center of the world will soon be transferred from Paris to New York. Even Parisians admit, she declares, that American women are the best gown ed in the world and she adds that the emancipation of the women of the country from slavish obedience to the dictates of French style makers is proceeding rapidly.

SOCIETY WOMEN AID CHICAGO
 STRIKERS

CHICAGO, H., Nov. 7.-The aid given striking garment workers by prominent society women and set clement workers of Chicago has been active personal aid and en- eouragement. Women who were in terested not only wrote their cheeks to the aid of strikers but went per sonally to strikers meetings and urged the garment workers to do each her part but not to be disorderly
 The strikers now number many thOus- ands. The hope is expressed that the garment workers will be able to secure advances of wages which are conceded to be much needed and de nied without due consideration. The council of the settlement workers
 who included Miss Ellen Gates Starr and Miss Anna Wilmarth Thompson of Hull House, and Miss Gertrude Barnum, daughter of former Judge William H. Barnum, has been dis orderliness, but some of the most eff fective demonstrations have been of their planning. Among the support
 CTS of the striking girls have been Mrs. Raymond Robins, Frances Squire Potter, president of the Equal Suffrage Society, Miss Katherine Conan of Wellesley and Mrs. George H. Mead, wife of one of the pro fessors of the Chicago University.

DOUGLAS MULE HAS THREE
 TAILS
RH AloHsius Coll.

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov. '. - Some cities are born great, and some are great by the grace of the census fraud, but Douglas seems destined to take a portion of her credit to great ness at least from the. natural curl osities that are thrust upon her. The newest Oddity for which tne munich pahty is not to be blamed is mule with no less than three tails.
 Not long ago a bunch of cowboys were out on a roundup for the Cabal lone ranch, few miles south of the city. One of them was coming down a trail in advance of a forest fire which had been burning for several days, when he was startled by the moving of bushes to one side. The COW punehers had been. meeting all sorts of wild animals fleeing ahead of the fire, and this one thought he had routed out a bear. His horse had not shown the usual fright when in the vicinity of a bruin, however. and the reason was soon made plain when on second glance the cowboy saw that he had met nothing more serious and dangerous than a brown mare. -4
 At first he thought of including the mare in the roundup, but for req sons obvious enough to him he al- lowed her to keep the trail undis turbed. A few days ago, however, this same brown mare came into camp and took her place during the night beside the chuck wagon, and when the COW punehers rolled out of their blankets in the. dawn, there she stood-and beside her a baby mule. The brown mare wasn | worth a mo- tiee in the official range paper, but the little mule was worth a place on the scarlet stand of any side show on the road, for he had three per feet tails, which sprouted out from the terminal station of his spinal cord like the skeleton of a fan. He is now the talk of the ranch and his fame has spread even to the Customs House on the boundary.
 'Will there be an extra duty in taking him across into Arizonai" one of the COW boys asked the Gus toms man.
 "Wen, replied the official, ." if you bring him across ears first he'll come under the duty for one heas, but if you back him over the line I Tn afraid he'll have to be counted ac- cording to the number of tails-in other words, heads you win; tails, you lose"
 Douglas now has in her menagerbs a one-legged blaekbird which has re- turned from his summer estate three seasons in succession; a three-legged dog that is exempt from taxation be cause he was here before the city was; a three-tailed mule that isn't to blame for it, and the prettiest girl in Arizona.

SLOWFOR IRRIGATION
 BONDS

CHICAGO, H., Nov. 7.-The sOlu- tion of the problem of irrigation and of the marketing of irrigation bones in the United States, which was the theme of the Chicago Irrigation Asso- cation at a banquet, seems likely to fall far short of the mark reached in Australia and Canada. The fai;- ure at the outset to include in the Constitution of the United States water as a property right so far has caused the only solutions offered to be trivial and superficial and yet irrigating never was more urgently needed The fact that there Is noth- ing back of most issues of irrigation bonds but a tract of land which is not valuable beyond nominal amount until water is prt upon it, has been carefully concealed by the vendors of those bonds. In the un- fortunate eases where foreclosures have taken place the security holders have found they had nothing of much value until they spent enough money to insure the supply of water and the actual utilization of the land for growing crops. Iu Australia and Can ada the governments have required an absolute title both to land and water and also have required that the water shall be brought to every S0-aere tract of land by the company which undertakes the task of irri- gaing any new area. So far inc question of water titles is one which irrigation promoters have referred to as teehnieal'

JURY DECLARES
 ATMOSPHERE NOT BLUE
CFrom Sundays Daily)

w. s. Conner, yesterday, expert enced the first application of a re- call method of judicial procedure, when he was brought back from Walker immediately after his return from a business visit to this city. His rapid return was due to the ser vice of a legal document that was prompted by James Loy, attorney, who swore to a complaint before Judge McLane charging the defend ant with uttering improper language that weighed heavily on the moral equilibrium of the aggrieved law. yer.
 The statute was invoked at the trial, and to give the scene that eclat that important legal transactions carry, a panel of eleven men heard the story and listened to the quota ton of many authorities. P. W. O'Sullivan represented the wounded barrister, while LeRoy Anderson had charge of the defense.
 MT. Conner listened intently to what ne says he did not say about MT. Loy, while MT. Loy expatiated quite freely on the blue atmosphere that pervaded his surroundings ano caused him an immense amount of mental anxiety and anguish.
 The trial lasted two hours and it took the jury two minutes to render a verdict of not guilty.

DARING SOLDIER
 STOPS RUNAWAY HORSE
fFrom Sundays Daily.)

That the American soldier is as daring when human life is in peril on the streets as. on the battlefield, was attested yesterday afternoon, when Charles Streiff stopped a mad runaway horse on Cortez street. Streiff is member of Company B, 18th Infantry, stationed at Fort Whipple. ,.t'
 The horse belongs to the Plaza Stables, and was attached to a light wagon. It started from the railroad depot at rapid pace south on Cor tez street. Streiff, who was standing on the sidewalk, engaged in the sprint, and succeeded in grasping the reins, when he was thrown violently to the street. He was dragged a short distance but succeeded in re- gaining his feet and stopping the thoroughly frightened equine.
 MT. Streiff was commended by many eyewitnesses for his heroism. He escaped with few slight scratches on his forehead and face.

MONTANA MINERS
 PROSPECTING FOR GOLD
From Sundays Daily)

The arrival in the vicinity of Dewey of a party of Montana min CTS, equipped with churn drills and imbued with the belief taht the soil of that section is auriferous in char acter, is creating considerable inter est in that section.
 They have located over 400 acres and approached Henry Clay a few days ago, asking permission to en- ter his farming domain to exploit the ground, but were promptly refused. From Clay they went to George Roh- peter, and were given permission to drill as deep as they desired. Whether they will dig as intimated, will be decided in few days. The party has already sunk several hun dred holes, but it is reported that they were unsuccessful. It is be- lieved they are prompted to enter the field for placer gold from the fact that Lynx Creek empties into the Agua Fria a few miles above where they are located, and that the placer gold has naturally reached the point where they are prospecting.
 The operations of the strangers have created general discussion and an inclination to the belief that a veritable Goleonda may be lying uu- der the many farms in that region.

THOMAS MEEHAN CALLED ID HIS
 REWARD
From Tuesdays Daily)


 Within the past three weeks many pioneers have answered the summons from the unknown, Thomas Meehan being the last to pass away. His death occurred Sunday morning, at the home of his sister, Mrs. Farrell Tiernan, and was due to the la grippe, an afflietion that seized him over four years ago, and from which he never fully recovered.
 MT. Meehan arrived in this country over thirty-nine years ago, and was an industrious and upright citizen. In late years his once robust eonsti- tuition gave way to the privations he suffered in the early days, and dur ing. the last year he has been seen only frequently. His funeral was held yesterday forenoon from the Catholic church, and many friends were in attendance to pay their last sad respects. Hign mass was eele- brated by Father Mandin for the repose of his soul. The pallbearers were R. E. Morrison E. J. F. Horne, James J. Sweeney, M. L. Buckley, MT. LeBarr and MT. MalOney.
