The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1870-06-18

Is not a high liver. Many people are
given to grumble at plain food, and some
oo as far as to accuse the poverty, in
variety. of our markets, and the magnif-
cent prices prevailing 1--WE have ever
known men absurd enough to include
the scarcity of money!, to account for
our general exemption from epicurean
diseases. We are fain to admit that

do not see rich yaletudinarians lolling
around in carriages, with their limbs

these old money bags doing so if our

ing; and we are not without at least one,
and perhaps more, well-defined cases.
This fact shows that White Piners have
been grossly slandered abroad in regard
to their style of living. They do not
generally exist on pork and beans and
hard tack; nor are their spreads always
barmecidal feasts. Whoever thinks that
Hamilton offers no indueement to cpl
cures, can be put to shame by the pro-
duction Of our proof to the contrary.
WATER APpnoPRIATIoS.-We under
stand that the White Pine Water Com
pany expect the city authorities TO vote
them some fixed compensation for servi-
ces and supplies of water, until they can
at least get their works on a paying basis.
The company now supply the City Hall
and the engine house with water. They
also supply hydrant force TO test hose
and to try apparatus. But in addition
10 these generous accommodations, they
keep a horse and rider constantly ready
TO dispatch, at the tap of the ire-bell, to
the station where the heavy pressure of
water can be turned on instantaneously,
almost, With the breaking out of a fire.
IL is not to be expected that the Water
Company will long continue TO afford us
this accommodation and protection with
out at least some money understanding
with the city. II might not be improper
here to refer the Board of Hamilton
Trustees to the pregnant suggestions in
ex-President Hyman's farewell address.
In FoR Ir.-This is the last day of
grace Of All Qui, the unfortunate wash
erman who pleaded guilty TO a technical
assault on a delicate Oriental beauty.
He had full week in which to earn the
fine of $40; but he yesterday came to US,
with tears in his eyes, and declared that
he could not raise the money. He had
worked hard all the week for the best
(dressed) men in town lawyers, speeu-
l%ators, printers. capitalists. eto.,-but
had been put of with jaw-bone instead
of money. II is a hard case, and va
felt tor poor John, who will dobtless
have to pine the fine away at the rate of
81 a day, in a loathsOme dungeon. He
tried to borrow a five from us, and we
regret to say it was after orr banking
hours. We felt for him, but We did mt
feel to the extent of half al eagle.
AGAIN DISAPPOINTED. The District
Attorney was promptly on hand at the
Recorders Court, yesterday morning. to
prosecute the case of assault upon n
woman, mentioned in yesterdays issue.
He had been notified by the public jour
nal hat a gross violation of law had
been committed in the most public place
Of our most public street, and of course
thought that the case would be ready for
prosecution. We can imagine his feel
ings when he was told by the Recorder
that no official knowledge of the affair
had reached him. no complaint had been
sworn out. and that, although an arrest
was reported, the party arrested was seen
on the street again in a very short line
Mr.. Kennedy doubtless departed from
the Court rejecting deeply upon the
uncertainty of the ministers OF justice
at this altitude.
DIED.-A private dispatch from San
Francisco u the death, yester-
day, in that city, of John j. Harrington.
He was for a short time a resident of
Hamilton, and was the first business man
Of the late Inland Empire newspaper.
The rugged climate of White Pine early
admonished him that his frail constitu-
ton would not long bean mp against IT,
and he returned to San Francisco. The
quiet of n comfortable home, and the so
lcitous attention of kind friends, tended
only to prolong his young life n few
short months. He died regretted by all
who had ever come in contact with his
true and honest character. He was a
nephew of the late Mrs. James j. Ayers,
of this place.
WHAT'S IN A SIGN THE Trayises
swing a huge horse-and-ride sign from
the roof of their Dexter Stable. The
artist who carved that sign has received
a high compliment. 1t has passed
through the ordeal of n criticism from
which there is no appeal. An educated
dog, and a stranger to this town, was
vending his way up Main street, yester-
day, when he was seen to suddenly come
to a point With eyes fixed upon the
swinging statue, he waited for it to move.
But it did MT. An immovable horse and
rider was n novelty to this dog. So he
barked a fearful bark, and then skedad-
died in disgust. He evidently does not
believe in a galloping horse making no
Roadway.
S~ruNNED.-The Fourth of July Mar
shall was extensively stunned yesterday
at the bid made by a local band direc-
tor, who informed him by note that the
scale of prices he had adopted for twelve
pieces, to do the Fourth, would be $500,
IN United States gold coinl The Mar
Snai whistled sharp at the figure, and the
Finance Committee declared they could
not keep time, at this strain, and drum up
enough money to meet all the require
ments of the day. The $500 demand
created considerable fling among those
