An East Indian Sent mp for vagrancy.

An East Indian Sent mp for Vagrancy.
Josiah r. Miller, known about town
as "Black Joe,p arrived here five or six
weeks ago from Silver City, Idaho. He
loves whisky and since his arrival here
has invested what, stray dimes and
quarters he could get hold of in that
liquid. Yesterday he was arrested by
Officer Ruse for vagrancy, and locked
up in Jail until he sobered up some
what. He was then taken before JUS
tice Osborn, and pleaded not guilty to
the charge of vagrancy. He claimed
that he worked whenever he got a
chance, but always took his pay in
whisky, as it comprised the greater
part of his living. He gave the name
of Josiah r. Miller and stated that he
was native of the East Indies. He
asked to be shown the statute under
which he was arrested, and the District
Attorney handed him copy Of the
complied laws, and referred him to the
clause defining vagrancy. II have not
washed my face to-day, your honor"
said Joe, "and can not see the print
unless you oblge me with the use OF
your spectacles. The Justice politely
complied with this request, and Joe
fixed the glasses ON his nose and looked
at the open page before him. Il can
not distinguish the letters" remarked
Joe, ct is too dark here" He was told
to 90 to the window and he did so. He
held the book close up to the glasses
but did not read. He then held it off
a foot or more with no better result,
and at last held it out at arms length
and began to read in clear and distinct
tones, and with emphasis, the section
referring to vagrancy, which says "All
persons except Indians, ETC., who do
thus and so, are Migrants. 81 am an
Indian" said Joe, "and the Court can
not make anything else Of me-" The
District Attorney mildly informed him
that the Indians referred to in the stat
ute were those who belonged to tribes
here in Nevada, and told Joe to read
the whole section. Joe proceeded to do
so, but before he got through admitted
that he was guilty as charged in the
complaint. He was then remanded to
the custody of the officers, and ordered
to appear at 10 o'clock to-day for sent
ence. To-day he was fined $40 or ten
DAYS in the County Jail. He will pro-
badly get sobered in that time.

A New Industry.

The Sentinel says that am enterpris-
ing Eurekan, hearing that hundreds of
cattle had died in She valleys north. Of
that place during the Winter, started
out to save the hides, and is said to be
making two hundred dollars day at
the business. According to reports
from Quin river and Harvey valleys,
north from this place, a lively skinner
could make money saving the hides of
dead cattle up there.

The Captain Jack Combination.

The Carson Appeal of yesterday
says: There was a good audience last
night to witness Capt. Jacks combina-
ton play Life on the border" The
drama is new in Carson and is crammed
with the exciting scenes Of frontier life
which appear 50 thrilling in the play.
Capt. Jack sustained the leading role
in excellent style, having much i'm
proved his acting since he travelled
through this country two years ago.
Miss Constance Nurcille gave rare
rendition OF Emma Reynolds Miss
Edith Woodtlorn became a favorite at
once as BETTY Mullany" and cold
Slote" proved fine character role in
the hands Of Russell Bassett. Crosbie,
whose line is excruciating comedy, had
heavy villain to personate and did it
we'll; tonight he will appear much
more in bis element in a comedy char
acter. King Hedley as "Broadbrim"
was feature OF this peace. The rest
OF the cast was excellently sustained,
and the company have created good
impression.

During the pleasant weather few
days ago, prospecting was resumed in
several districts, and as result, new
mining claims located in Congo Dis
trict, Paradise mountains, and Gold
Run District, east OF Golconda, are be-
ing recorded in the County Recorders
Office. Prospectors had better be ON
the alert this Spring and Summer, as
the new mining bill now before Congress
will probably become a law, and end
their occupation, unless they are
wealthy.

Deputy Sheriff Davidson brought to
us the following lines from Chas. w.
Hymer, now under sentence Of death,
with the request that we publish them.
They are in Hymer's hand writing, but
he does not say he is the author of them:
As one who journeysin the night y
Along blind and crooked way,
seek in darkness for thy light,
Some outlet TO thy perfect day;
But wilder, ruder climbs the path, 1905 3
heavier gloom Is round me spread,
And all the pillows Of thy wrath Is
Go over my defenseess head.
Spent with the pain of mortal loss,
breast the stosns that round me beat,
Content to bear my grievous cross,
II may bay it at thy feet.
II through the immeasurabIe wall
OF gloom that hides thee from my sight,
Some ray of thy sweet light may fall,
Dear Lord, shall not dread the night,
II may grasp some certain clue,
Some slender and invisible strand
OF that dread meaning that / knew
Would lead me to thy hidden hand,
The lurking ills need not fear,
Nor evil things that bar the road.
For would know that thou vert near,
And. light or darkness, thou art God.
No riffs of hope my soul discerns,
No CLEAN of daybreak's rosy warming
But an, somewhere the tempest turns
Her golden edges to the morning,
And passed the pitfalls set by sin,
With damtless faith follow on;
Icannot doubt the path wherein
tread leads upward to the dawn.
And though weary cross bear,
And may not lay my burden down
Till past the shadows of despair,
Thou givest me the victor's crown,
shall not care what ills betide,
If may only find and win
Some little gate of heaven set vide,
And thou wilt bid me enter in.

A CHANCE FOR ALL.-Remembe that half

and the laborers in that class amount to not
less than three or four millions; they have
above them the landlords, aud above them
the several ranks ofnobility, and above them
the royal family. The barriers are welLngh
impossible. But, thank God, and thank the
founders Of our Republic and the later patri-
OTIS, who have made the truth of the Declara-
ton of Independence a reality, here in Ameri-
ca there are no classes Our society does not
resemble the crust Of the earth, with its i'm
passable barriers of rock, but resembles rather
the waters of the mighty sea, deep, broad,
boundless, but yet SO free in all it's parts that
the drop which miDgles with the sand at its
bottom is free to rise through all the mass OF
waters till IL flashes in the light ON the crest
Of the highest wave. There is no boy in
America, however humble his birth or in
whatever depth of poverty hts lot may be
cast, who, II he has a strong arm, clear
head, and brave heart, may not rise by the
light of our schools aud the freedom of our
laws, until he shall stanu foremost in the

THE AGE or GLUTToNY.

tory of the Caesars, with some exceptions, is
the narrative of continual orgy Take the
notorious group at random-C ommodus, Cali.

lives in round of monstrous debaucheries.
The day and the night, we are assured, were

out the night. Nero sat at table from mid.
day to midnight. Tiberius spent two days
and night at the festive board. They had

ing only while he slept; Domitian, who ate
tout of his hand to stay his stomach in the
intervals of regular repast. Heliogabalus
was, peshaps, the most elaborate, Vitellius
the most extravagans IN his daily fare. The
latter squandered 81, 00O, 900 in seven M snths,
chiefly on his table. The total staggers be-
lief; but let us examine the figures on the
other side. The Roman epicure is reported
to have paid $500 OF so for mullet a brace
of pigeons cost IS. At an entertainment
given to Vitelius by his brother, 1000 Of the
rarest fish aud 1000 of the most curious birds
were served up. One individual spent $685.
600 on single dish, made of the tongues Of
she costfiost sssgssg Dsgdss ssrss woman Son
vivaBt, supping on the brains of peacocks and
pheasants, the tongues of nightingaes, and
the roes of the most delicate fishes swallow
ing thousands of pounds at q meal, and we
need only multiply the individual expense by
cost of high-cass dinner in the days of the
Caesars. A supper in the Apollo meant $10,-
600 thrown to the purveyors. But the En-
perors were certainly the most reckless in the
profigacies of the table. Seneca and Tactus
are among the authorities who tell us that
Heliogabalus spent 100000 on one supper ;
that Nero, master of "the house of gold, I"
ate q dish which cost over 100000, and
drank bumper still more precious. 1t is
asserted furthers that the Emperor yerus
treated twelve friends to feast which cost
$3.50, 900, and Seneca is responsible for the
statement that Caligula spent 100000 on a
supper. The magnifcence of the Emperors
was initiated, if not equaled, by citizens like
the Apieil, like Esop, the actor, and his son
Clodius; likes Vedius Polio, who fattened
bis lampreys on the flesh Of murdered slaves
These, we know, were brave days for the
players; but Esop, the comedian, must have
had solid private fortune, for the Garricl d
his age, the great Roscius, made but $3.50 ,o0t
a year Of his profession, an income which
would hardly clear half dozen barely decent
suppers to ilIustrious patrons

Let the idea once become prevalent in the
Church that prayers are not answered in the
form of the gifts sought, that the answer
comes only in the form of increased piety,,
and, fear, that form Of Christianity will
cease ; for when ones child is sick. or ones
country is threatened with famine, it is abb
snrd for Us to pray for increased piety when
it is the restoration Of our child or the hap
piness Of our country that we desire. Prayer,
separated from its answer in kind, is an abb
surdity--that is, prayer of petition, -fQr
the heart can only ask for what II needs, and
assured that it will not secure that, it will
soon reduce to silence all requests. The mod
ern philosophy Of prayer is much like that of
the old wise man in the fable, Who being
called upon for help by drowning boy, am
swered by rebuking the boy for that folly
which made him venture into water SO deep
a philosophy quite overthrown by the sufferer,
who said, +" Help me out, dear sir, and blame
me afterwarl." The dying Irish family do
not want spiritual answer--they want
bread. Daoid Saoing.

After all territory is but the body of a ma.
ton. The people who inhabit its hills and
valleys are its soul, its spirit, its life. In
them dwells its hope of immortality. Among
them, if anywhere, are to be found its chief
elements Of destruction.
We confront the dangers of Suffrage by the
blessings of universal education.
1t matters little what may be the forms of
National institutions, If the life, freedom and
growth of society are secured.
There is no horizontal qualification of So
ciety iu this country like the rocks in the
earth, that hold one class down below for
evermore, and let another come to the surface
to stay there forever. Our Stratiication is
like the ocean, where every individual drop is
free to move, and where from the sternest
depths of the mighty deep any drop may
come up to glitter on the highest wave that
rolls.
We should enlist both the pride and the
selfishness of the people on the side of good
order and peace.
States, not for the whole world and it Is our
glory shat the American laborer is more intel
igent and better paid than his foreign COM
petitor.
There is deep down in the hearts of the
American people strong and abiding love Of
our Country which no surface storms of pas
sion can ever shake.
The Atlantic is still the great historic sea.
Even in its sunken wrecks might be read the
record OF modern nations. Who shall say
that the Pacific will not yet become the great
historic sea of the future--the vast amphi-
theatre around which shall sit In majesty and
power the two Americas, Asia, Africa and the
chief colonies of Europe. God forbid that
the waters of our National life should ever
settle to the dead level of a waveless calm.
1t would be the stagnatiou of death, the ocean
grave Of individual liberty.
