urday night and made much fun showing
II around the various saloons. II IL .
modest looking affair to occasion all the
talk that has been made about IL In the

Of . press. II Ia simple In construction
and effective In results. II may do very
we'll In some places. but such 4 thing Is
not likely to provo very popular In this
State were business matters have not yet
come down 70 the skinfint basis. There
eau be no doubt. however. but that tho
saloon men would be benefited In the
long run. a. there would not be 90 many
free drinks given away - now. IL would
shut on many an old topper from his regu.
lar allowance when he was unable 10 put
up the coin, for there are few barkeepers
who are generous enough 70 give q man .
drink Of whisky for nothing and pay .
special tar for that privilege at the same
time. The machine which Mr.. Orndorfi
was exhibiting was only borrowed. and
was returned TO Carson City yesterday.
The ringing Of the bell naturally suggests
70 the mind that familiar poem which
starts OF in this way:

A single ring for Q glass Of baire,
