How SUICIDE WAS SwAMPED.-As to how
foolish girl was cured of her suicidal notions
an English newspaper relates as follows:
Near Leominister, in England, few days
since, servant girl while sitting before her
mistress's fire at night, said to a fellow SER
want eft you wont have me, I'll drown my
self" and at once ran out and jumped into an
adjacent stream of water. She then got out
and ran TO Stockton, at which place she again
jumped into the river, but two women res
cued her She jumped in third time, but
was got out just as two men appeared upon
the scene. One of them, hearing what was
amiss, said to to the woman elf you wants
to drown yourself miss, come this way and I'll
see you does it." He then took her to an
other part of the brook, and dipped her two
or three times over her head until she was
nearly exhausted, and crying hard for mercy,
promised not to repeat her foolish conduct
She was brought from the brook thoroughly
drenched, but evidentlycur

TAXED TO SUPPORT A SECTARIAN
ESTABLISHMENT

The indecency of the exactions limited at in
the following (Which we copy from yesterdays
footlight), consists in the movement to make
the Comstock miners support sectarian in
stitution. What grounds that paper has for
making these charges we know not. We
only reproduce them as we find them:
There is an institution in this city called
St. Mary's Hospital The idea of it's founda-
ton, practically and prosily speaking, was to
make money for the Sisters who run it. For
some time after its erection it failed in this
and a new plan was adopted to put the con-
Germ on paying basis. The bonanza people
befriended it, and about five months ago an
order was promulgated in the various mines
under control, informing the men that by pay
ing dollar month, to the hospital, they
would be treated free of charge there if taken
sick. No one was obliged to pay this, but
the superintendent said they would not pay
for medical attendance in case of an accident
when dollar month would cover the ex-
pense. As long as there was no coercien no.
body raised any objection. But now the JUS
tice mine has taken the initiative, and is at
tempting to force the miners to pay the dollar
a month or else be discharged. This is wrong
The Comstock should not be turned into
nest egg for the Sisters of Charity. Suppose
every miner were compelled to give his dollar
to the institution, there would be six thou
sand dollars monthly income, with perhaps
very few expenses. The action of Mr..
Schultz, at the Justice, Is meeting with gen.
eral condemnation. He virtually compels
men to support sectarian institution under
pain of discharge. More than this he COM
pells men to place themselves under the care
of physician whom they may not like. DR..
Grant has come to Virginia backed by the
power of the bonanza, Mrs. Mackay, Mrs.
Buckner and others, yet he failed lamentably
in many instances in medical success Yet if
man goes to that hospital, he has got to sub
init to his treatment or else pay for medical
service. In San Francisco and other places,
those belonging to benevolent hospitals are
entitled to medical attendance and medicines
free of charge at their homes. Here, although
a man be a member, he cannot receive such
attention without the payment of about five
dollars visit.
Mr.. Shultz, by all means rescind the ar
rangement by which miner has to pay the
hospital or else leave work. Let it be entire
ly voluntary, for it has anugly look when it is
The Sisters have very good in
no doubt, but there are many min
ers who would have religious prejudice |
against going there while sick, and their pre-
judice has right to be respected, even |
though Mr.. Schultz desired to please Messers.

the bottom of all this, by standing in with the
nuns and coercing the miners

The sensible portion Of the radical party IN
this State, knowing that they have not the
slphtest chance for cleotiDg State ticket next
November, have resorted to their old tricks,
and are cudeavoriuE to prevail upon the other
portion to relinquish the idea Of putting candl-
dates 10 the field, 10 order that independents
nav be Induced to run against the regularly
nominated conservative candidates, and that by
uniting upou them they may break up the con-
seryative organization. and thereby,in all future
elections, become the controlling power 10 the
State. 10 vain is the net spread IN the sight OF
any bird. Fortunately for the beSs Interests OF

seryative majority is so large and 50 legitimate
that though the independent which. ltsuc-

thority upon all such questions. The
following is the inquiry made, with
the Clippers answer
A gamo of base ball was played
between N. and G. At the end of
the fourth inning the score stood 27 to
3, in favor of N. At the beginning
of the fifth inning N. allowed them
selves to be put out, seeing that rain
was imminent, and being anxious to
complete q five inning game. G..
then refused to play, claiming un.
fairness in N. allowing themselves
to be put out. Tho umpire callod
to the bat, and, no striker appearing,
waited the proper timo, and thon
decided the game forfeited by c.
If forfeited, by what score ? How
are bots ?
ANswER.-1. The nine refusing to
play forfeited by 8 to o.. The
backers of the @. club lose.
This decision settles the matter.
Especially does it clearly vindicate
the Nameless nine from the charge
of unfair playing" brought against
them in the card Of Mr.. George X.
Wright, the secretary of the Colum~
club, published in the Register. We
must express our admiration of the
course taken by the Nameless in re-
gard to Mr.. Wright's card. Though
charged, in severe and somewhat
sarcastic terms, with "unfair play-
ing," they quietly awaited the do
cision of the accepted authority.
That decision has fully vindicated
the propriety Of their course, and
completely repolled the charge
brought against them.
We ask the Register to publish
the inquiry made of tho Clipper,
together with the answer.
