Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1877-01-21


A VERY laughable incident occur
ed on the occasion Of the Jubilee
Singers concert at Elko. The house
was crowded with an enthusiastic
audience, and the singers were in the
very midst of that grand old song,
"Where is he that was born king OF
the Jews? 2" This question was
Numbered out in tones of sublimity
and grandeur, and while every ear
was attentive, and every head was
stretched forward to catch the notes
of the music itself, suddenly in the
pit there appeared the King of the
Jews in demoraliZed lorna man
clad in apparel of many colors and
stains, and with bunch after bunch
of lighted fre-crackers hanging to
his tail. o what Pandemonium
was there raised The men yelled,
the women shrieked, the singers
saved themselves by ignominious
fight. Yes, their song was answered
soon enough, and the disturber him
self rushed through the crowd, the
cannonading increasing, gained the
stage and then executed step which
would have made French ballot
girl stare. Then he disappeared
through q side door. the Jubilees
were coaxed back to their songs, and
everything was again as merry as a
marriage bell. The next day the
would be King of the Jews with war
paint on his brow, and fire-crackers
to his coat tail was found to be no
other person than John Kelly him
self, and for his fun he now Ian
cuisines fifty days in the county jail.
The Enterprise yesterday paid the fol-
lowing tribute to Jerry Schooling who
guards the States money over at the
Capitol: probably there is 10 better
way to close this article than by relating
a little anecdote of another man, who
has the control of hundreds Of thousands
of dollars of public money. We hap
pened, some three or four years ago. to
be stopping at the same hotel with him
in San Francisco. One evening he
asked us when We were going to leave
the city. We answered. Tomorrow.
He said. u am going tomorrow also.
and am going to carry with me S4OO, 600
in gold notes and bonds" Next morn.
ing, going into the Office of the hotel, we
heard him telling the clerk that he would
send the amount of his bill, some $40,
SO soon as he reached home. We said to
him, "You are here on State business.
Why don't you pay your bill with State
money instead of carrying it home and
sending it back" The reply was. Il
might be killed on the cars. and my &C.
counts would not balance" We could
no. help telling him that so big an old
fool as he, was never in any danger of
being killed. That old fool still lives.
and his name is Jerry Schooling. He has
very correct ideas Of the duties OF State
Treasurer.
A beautiful winter scene was witnessed
yesterday from Carson street. A bank
of snow white clouds had settled on the
mountains over towards Virginia, andas
the mountains themselves were covered
with snow, no separation could be seen.
The spectator could see vast mass OF
snow extending into the sky higher than
Mont Blanc, and the view was only stop
ped by the distance itself. 1t was
picture of wondrous beauty, and one
which is seldom seen in nature or on
canvass.
The Mexican Veterans had another
meeting last evening in the Senate
Chamber. An excellent address was de.
livered on the occasion by Frank
Stewart. A goodly crowd was in attend
ance. Another meeting will be held in
two weeks. The Veterans propose to
have a grand ball in February, and they
also propose to invite their first cousins,
the Pioneers, to join with them in cele-
brating the anniversary of the battle Of
Buena Vista.
Mr.. Smiths bill regulating the sale of
opium is likely to become law. The
Chinese say it is an infringement upon
their rights, for they use 1t in the same
manner as Americans use tobacco. But
that this opium vice is extending even
among other nat:onslities than the
Chinese is well known, and the sooner
decided stop is put to the same go much
the better will it be for the morals of the
people at large.
Should heavy rain come the weight
upon some Of the house tops in Carson
would be almost insupportable, and
serious calamities might occur. The old
adage. "A stitch in time saves nine," is
applicable just now.
We are sorry to learn of the illness of
Rev. McClain during the past week, but
are gratified to learn that he is sufficient
" recovered to attend to his usual ex.
ercises to-day.
The railroads are again open, and the
