Almost to starvation.

On the 21st Of April we sighted Polar
bear. Every person was ordered to lie
down and initiate the seal, while two Es-
ouimsux secreted themselves behind a
piece of ice, enticing the bear near enough
to Us to kill him. a few days after this
we got our boat in water ard worked our
way west and southwest, and continued to
work at every opportunity to westward in
hope OF reaching the Labrador coast and
getting temporary relief. We were picked
up by the steamship Tigress, Capt. Bart

degrees and 35 minutes north, longitude
so degrees west, or near Wolf Island, and
about 40 miles from land. The Polaris is
now without boats, having lost two in try

Population.

At the close of the war, In 1916, the
population of France was ascertained
to be about %, 000, 900. Fifteen years
later, when the revolution OF July,
1880, overthrow the Bourbon and set
up-tor we cannot say established-the
Orleans dynasty, there were 3l,65I,429
inhabitants In France. This number
had increased to 81, 900, 900 In the year
1916. Ten years later, just after the
Crimean war, and when the Second
Empire was in the greatest apparent
prosperity, the number was SO, 1852
in the year 1855. and slightly exceeded
thirty.eight millions In 1866. Just
before tho war with Germany broke
out, the census declared the popula-
ton to be IS, 0S7, 09i. There was u new
census at the close of 1872, which has
declared the present population OF
France to be 80, l02, S2l, showing a fall
Ing off of 1904, 235. But Of this large
decrease, tive-sixths (l,636. S6O) are due
to the cesslon OF territory exacted by
the German conquerors, leaving only
327, 1913 rs the loss imediately conse-
quent upon the operations Of tho cam
paisn. thus, the population Of France,
which, in round numbers, was thirty
millions In 1920. Is only th~irty-eight
millions in 1870, and two millions less
in 1873. Contrasted with the Ameri-
can rate of increase, the result Is
very striking. In 1900 the population
Of the United States was 3.029, 1923 ; In
1920 1t Increased 0,G3S,Sl4; In 1870,
fifty years later, it augmented to 3S.-
556, $3.50, and now. In 1873, may be estl'
mated at about 49, ZOO, 900. The COM
parative decrease Of the French is not
so remarkable as the increase OF the
American population in the last fifty
years.

Storing Ice.

This season thus far, says the
Truckee Republican Of February llth,
has not been favorable for the various
ice companies in this vicinity. The
Nevada ice Company, however. have
made unusual exertions to obtain \
supply. and have been rewarded with
fair success. Failing to get a sufficient
supply at their principal works at
Camp Is. near Boca. they have been
securing ice at Scha Ter mill and res
ervoir at Martls Valley, three miles
from town. At this point they have
been ut work night and day for sew
eral days past and have stored over
1000 tons. 1t will cost them next
Summer one dollar and a half q ton to
freight the Ice from Schaffer's mill to
the railroad. The company have Sc
cured at their various establishments
this season, all told. about 5000 tons.
Considering the difficulties they have
to contend with this Winter. they have
done remarkably we'll, aud they still
have hopes OF securing a supply Of the
needed luxury at their principal Ice
statlon-Camp 16. II the weather
should be propitious, they will put up
at least 5000 tons more.

THE RuoADEs BoNDsMRN,
CARSON, Feb. ii, 1873

larson, ceD. IL, 1910.
EDITOR News The popular feel
ing seems to have undergone a very
radical change with regard to the
Rhoades Bond bill, within the past
week. Perhaps there never existed a
case of the kind in this or any other
State. A few months since, every
third man seemed to be anxious that
the pounds Of flesh should be exacted
from the bondsmen; the broadest
anathemas were hurled against the
late Board Of Examiners and on the
heads OF the innocent bondsmen was to
be visited the shortcomings OF the
Board ; and all this from sheer igno-
rance OF the facts In the case. 1t has
been conclusively proven both by facts
adduced by the testimony at tile trials
of the a S and by the report Of Mr..
Bostwick, the expert, who spent nearly
a wear In the examination Of the Treas
urers' books, that nc man on earth
could determine whether or no the de-
f~alcation existed IN the first term or
second ; or In other words, the whole
proofs have allowed only this deduc-
ltion, that the late Eben Rhoades was
a heavy defaulter at the time OF his as
sumption of office in the second term.
There are many who recollect the fear
full anxiety of the late Mr.. Rhoades, at
the time Of procuring his bondsmen
| for the second term, as well as the
| eleventh hour chance that occurred to
enable him to file said bonds. These
facts are now so we'll known that those
who showed the greatest amount OF
antagonism to the passage Of the Ke-
lief bill are anxious for It's passage.
There have been good men blamed
In connection with the lamentable
affair ; many severe things have been
said relative to the members Of the
Board of Examiners, but as new light
dawns on the mind of the public so do
these unjust charges fall to the ground.
Both the Legislature and the people
view the matter in a new light. and
seem to feel how unjust it would be to
hold the bondsmen for the improper
acts, or to say the least, the shortslght-
| edness of the Legislature Of 1859. Had
the bill passed In the early part of the
session of 1869, not been rendered nu-
gatory by the passage Of the supple
mental bill. at the close Of the session,
there would have been a very different
state OF affairs; there was time enough
to have arranged for the purchase Of a
| tireproof safe before tho Introduction
Of the amendatory bill.
The facts stand out too broadly, that
the Treasurer was q heavy defaulter In
February, 1859, tor the most violent
opponent of the relief bill! to doubt.
The bill has not been pressed to an
issue, as a matter OF courtesy to Mr..
Hobart, the introducer thereof, Inc
having been absent for several days OH
leave. am happy to inform you that
from all | can learn, the bill will eX-
perience no great amount of opposi-
ton, and that In any event, there ia
not the least doubt Of Its passage.
Yours, P~".

Hung for Stealing.

A somewhat remarkable circum-
stance recently occurred in West Nash
willie. Tennessee. A gentleman, be-
tore retiring for the night, took the
precaution to place his gold watch and
chain under his pillow, that 1t might
not be stolen without his being awak-
ened. 10 hi, surprise, he woke up the
following morning to find that 1t had
unaccountably been spirited away. He
remembered having heard his servant
making n fire, and came to the cohclu-
sion that no one else could have taken
il. He called the servant in and made
inquiries about 1t. Tho servant de-
MED having seen 1t. This did not sat
isfy the owner. but the ervant was
nevertheless allowed to depart. His

After looking everywhere

forced half way into q rat hole. He
pulled it out, and to his great conster-
nation found q rat at tile end Of the
golden chain, in which 1t had become
and been hanged by the
neck until dead.

THE aREEiEY A T

We do not know exactly who was
the originator OF the idea to erect a
statue Of Horace Greeley, the material
of which should be old type, except
that it was a member Of New York
Typographical Union. No. 8, but 1t Is
a decidedly happy and original one.
The memory of many q gallant SOL
der has been perpetuated BY monu-
ments cast Of old cannon, great artists
and statesmen have been thus perpetu-
ated in marble busts, and painters
have left their portraits behind them
glowing life-like from oil colors ana
canvas. What more appropriate Idea
than till. Of handing down to posterity
the memory Of the distinguished print
er, the chief editor, writer, publisher
and philosopher In the form OF his own
statue, cast in old type metal-types
which have already been used to DIS
seminate Intelligence throughout tho
world. or Americans 1t has been
truthfully said that when a great ina
dies we forthwith resolve to erect a
statue to his memory and then straight
way don't do it. In this instance,
however, the object Is extremely likely
to be accomplished, for the whole press
Of the country will takes pride In see
ing that 1t Is promptly and faithfully
done. There are stated to be 6,l33
newspapers and periodicals printed In
the United States, and probably no
less than $4,000 printing establish
ments, each Of which were called
upon to contribute a pound or
more Of type metal toward the
composition Of the Greeley statue.
There are probably so, 900 working
printers in the United States, each OF
whom were invited to contribute the
proceeds Of setting 1000 m Of type
about an hours work-to the same OBJ
isct, the price per 1000 ems ranging
from fifty cents in the East, to seventy
cents and as high as a dollar In some
places on this coast. This work was
duly performed on the Sd Of February,
the day set, in most Of the printing
establishments OH this coast as well as
elsewhere, and the money and pound
Of type from each duly forwarded. We
know that such was the case with the
| GOLD HILL News. As a matter OF
course, sufficient old type could be
| found In New York alone, to cast any
amount Of statues, but the idea was to
allow all the printing establishments
In the country to contribute a small
amount each, all thus assisting In Its
composition. If more is needed 1t can
be procured in NewYork. The st. Louis
Democrat OF the 9Th instant says that
over $4,000 pounds have been forward
ed. most probably from the printing
offices of New York and vicinity, there,
fore It will be perceived there Is no
probability Of any lack Of material.
The "pound" Of type which was
sent from the NEWS office weighed just
thirty-four ounces, and consisted Of the
original "form" Of the Democratic
ticket, State and county, at the last
Presidential election, headed by the
names Of Horace Greeley and B. Grat7
Brown. the party ticket having been
printed at the job printing establish
ment OF this paper. Not having beer
distributed" we deemed it an ap'
proprIate contribution to send upor
the occasion.

Aapoleon's Courtesy to Americans.

The Paris correspondent Of the New
York Times, speaking Of Louis Napo-
leon. says: Americans who have
lived in Europe were invariably fond
OF the Emperor personally, for he was
always very kind and affable to our
compatriots. ~ like the Americans"
was a phrase often used BY him In con-
yersation, and when any of our coun-
trymen had business with him, he was
always very kind, patient and atten.
tive. l recollect a German naturalized
citizen, who came here a few years ago
with an invention, and, on asking for
an audience with the Emperor's Secre-
tary, was told to 60 In and see the EN-
Peror himself. Napoleon received him
warmly, and said he was just then en-.
gagged in, studying bis model, and
asked for explanations. The poor man
was so much confused that he made
bad work OF his French, and presently
the Emperor said, III 1t would be
easier for you. you can speak In Eng
lish." Here, too, he became a little
confused, when the Emperor, with
great dellcacy, aud with an apology
for the suggestion, invited him to con-
tinue in German. He did so to his
great relief, and was given another
meeting. Tho next day he walked In
to the Emperor's room rs easily as to
the room Of an old acquaintance. Ma
poleon vas always the most..accessible

ally employed In reaching the editor

STATE PRISON.

A bill has been introduced into the
Legislature BY Senator Fox Of Gold
Hill, to provide for the erection Of q
new State Prison. It Is an excellent
sensible idea, and should be practical
ly acted upon. Aside from the advan-
tages Of locating the prison In some
more eligible locality, where water
power could be obtained, the work OF
the prisoners made available, and other
advantages obtained so a. to eventual
ly make the prison a self-supporting
institution, there are other points In
the matter which are Of still greater
importance In our estimation. The
prison now In use Is not secure BY any
means, as Il amply attested to by the
frequent and successful breaks OF the
convicts In times past. These breaks
arc costly affairs, sometimes In lives
as well as money, and It Is good econ
omy to provide against the possibility
OF their occurrence. The ends Of Justice
are thwarted, and imprisonment for
life, or even for a term Of years, is.di-
vested Of one-half its terrors or good
effects By just such prisons as this, to
say nothing of the actual cause and en-
couragement thus given for the forma-
ton OF Vigilance Committees. Build
n good. we'll ordered, and perfectly Sc
cure prison, and then talk Of abolish
log capital punishment, but not before.

A few months ago a Mr.. Lawrence,
of this city, was granted q divorce
from his wife, the Court awarding the
custody Of a son to the father. and
their two daughters, aged respectively
IL and Is years. to the guardianship OF
Rev. Father Croke. the mother being
deemed, by reason Of Incorporate
habits, unit to have the charge OF

erty on Pine street. from which she re-
ceiyed In rents IN Income OF about
300 per mouth. About ten weeks ago
she removed to Oakland. where she
has spent most Of the time in excessive
Indulgence in liquor. Her intemper-
ance rendered her obnoxious to her
n%eighbors, and she was compelled to
yacate the premises In which she lived
and seek another house. About live
weeks ago she rented the upper part
of a wooden building on Broadway,
near Eighth street. and while there
was made a subject OF complaint to
the owner of the house by the parties
occupying the first floor. Last Satur-
day. Il was ascertained that she had
not left her rooms since the preceding
Tuesday, and the police were Informed
Of the fact, together with the suspicion
that she was In n OF her usual de-
bauches. The rooms were visited, and
the woman found lying OIL the floor
unable to move. A physician was sum
moned, and food aud other necessaries
were procured. While an officer was
searching for some one to nurse her
through the night. the woman died.
Father Croke, as q guardian OF the
daughters, was sent for, and during
yesterday Mr.. Lawrence went to Oak
land and made arrangements for the
burial Of the deceased. He Intends to
