today for $50, but most of it coming
to the city, is being held for better

been instructed to hold their cotton
for ten cents, and the buy-a-bale move

them to do so.

TALK NUMBER TWO ID MEN oF PHOENIX
Concerning the Beauty and Appro- pr,ateness Of the Ostrich
 PIuma

This is the cont nuation of re- cent address to men only cn the en- crossing theme of cst.ich plumes. es- pecially Arizona ostrich plumes. As has been explained, the theme is a peculiarly timely one. for the season of the year is approaching when more ostrich plumes will be worn than at any other season of the year. the Easter time when new hats and bonnets are brought out. There will also be more ostrich plumes on dis Ilay in the Easter parade this year than usual, for the plumes are more n vogue than in other years. Ostrich piumes have never been out of fash ion though. and they will never be.
 Now, here is where the men come ln. The ladies will be expecting Easter gifts and it is up to the men to make them. The average man is not capable of making a selection; that is, he has no idea what a suit able Easter gift is But it is the purpose of this article to let him know that of all things that grow or are made, there is nothing so ap- propriate as an ostrich plume and there are no ostrich plumes equal in beauty and durability to the Arizona plume, the only kind sold at Bake $ Fig Curio store where they are sold cheaper than anywhere else.
 And, while at Balke's getting the rlume. look over those beautiful im- ported Easter cards which are selling

 History
Trial of Massachusetts Quakers

The colonists of Massachusetts Bay had no idea of religious tolerance, and they were especially severe against the Quakers who had settled in that section. They even went so far as to make a law which provided that any master of ship bringing any known Quaker within the juris- diction should forfeit 100 pounds and should give security to carry such Quakers back to the place from whence he brought them.
 In October, 1858, law was intro- duced into the general court provid- ing that every person of the cursed sect of the Quakers.' who should be found within the jurisdiction, should be immediately imprisoned until the next court of assistance, at which they should have a lega! trial and, being convicted to be of the sect of Quakers, should be banished on pain of death.
 There was no lack of victims. Three persons were found within the jurisdiction. and they were immedi- ately imprisoned. They were Mary Dyer, Marmaduke Stephenson and William Robinson. They were brought before the general court, on October 19, 1859, for sedition and presumptu- ously obtruding themselves upon us" All three acknowledged themselves to be Quakers, and on the following day they were condemned to die.
 The day set for their execution was October 22 When they were led forth to execution, they were sur rounded by a guard of armed men and several horsemen, with drums beating, to prevent the multitude from hearing what they might say. The two men were executed first, and the rope had already been attached to Mary Dyers neck, when a repreive arrived. She was released and sent out of the colony on the promise that she would never return, but she ar lived again in the spring of 1860. She was immediately sent to jail and was ordered to be executed the next day. When she was upon the scaffOld it was told her that if she would return home she might come down and save

her life. To this she replied; Nay, 1 cannot, for in obedience to the will of the Lord I came. and in His will l abide faithful unto the death"
 Mary Dyer had her wish gratified. But these three were not the only ones to suffer. William Leddra was the next. After several severe whip pings and a tedious imprisonment, he was banished, but returned and was brought to trial in March, 1861, be- fore the Court of Assistants of Bos- ton. While the trial was being con- ducted, Winlock Christison, another banished Quaker, suddenly and most unexpectedly entered and took his stand by the side of the prisoner. When the Governor asked him why he was there he replied: T have come here to warn you that you should shed no more innocent blood; for the blood that you have shed already cries to the Lord God for vengeance to come upon you"
 Christison was immediately com manded to prison. and Leddra was offered his life if he would promise to depart and return no more. Re fusing this, sentence of death was passed upon him, to take effect Oh the 14th of March Then Christison was brought to trial, and at the same session Judah Brownes and Peter Pierson were indicted.
 These executions of Quakers had caused the utmost dissatisfaction in Massachusetts. and the magistrates became conscious of their mistake Public sympathy was turned toward the sufferers. Meanwhile accounts of these proceedings had been carried by Quakers to the ears of King Charles and that monarch, who had other reasons for being dissatisfied with the colonists, immediately granted a rnandamus directed to all the Gov ernors of New England requiring them to proceed no further as to col poreal punishment against Quakers, but to send them to England, to the end that they might be disposed of according to law.
 The general court suspended the execution of the laws against Quakers at their next session, but soon re- vived them so far as respected 'vagabond Quakers,' who were to be seized by any person and carried be- fore the next magistrate of the shire or any commissioner, and then sen fenced Ito be stripped naked from the middle upward and be tied to a carts tail in the town where they were found and whipped through that and the other towns where they were found'
 In 1862. three women, Anne Cole man, Mary Tomkins and Alice Am brose. were tied to a carts tail in Dover and whipped with ten stripes in each town. This was the method of punishment resorted to from this on, but it gradually grew less and less, and eventually the Quakers were as free to worship in Massachusetts as in any other of the colonies then existing"

There is widespread belief among
educated persons that burial while
still alive is. though not probable, at
least possible. As evidence of this be-
lief one has but to notice how many
persons leave Instructions in their wills
for the taking Of special precautions
to guard against this most dreadful of
catastrophies
When embalming takes place, of
course. there is no possibility OF being
buried alive, yet being killed by en-
balming fluid instead of being allowed
to revive and spend many more years
on earth is not the fate one would Sc
lect
Although there is but one infallible
sign of death-namely. putrefaction-
yet there are many other signs, no one
of which is incontrovertible. yet that
when taken together even in the alb
sence of putrefaction. make the diagno-
sis absolutely sure.
The heart may stop beating, but this
does not necessarily mean that the pa
tient is dead The writer recalls a
case in his personal observation when
woman's heart stopped beating thir-
ty-four times in twelve hours and each
time was started up again by injec-
lions of brandy and of nitroglycerin.
That is more than six years ago, and
the woman is alive and strong today.
1t is often very difficult to tell the
precise moment of death, but when
the heart refuses to respond to stimu-
lation, when the body becomes rigid,
when the blood coagulates and the eye
balls become tlaccid and lose their ten
sion. then there is no doubt that death
has come. The greatest safeguard
against premature burial is the length
of time that in this country elapses be-
fore the body is consigned to the
ground.-New York World.
