GOODNESS OF THE DEACON.

PRARANCE YESTERDAY CONNECTION AT
DOLLY WARDEN HEADQUARTERS 49,
GOODNESS OF THE DEACON.
Our efforts to make the APPEAL an illus
trated newspaper has met with most en-
couragng success Although our facilities
for producing perfect engravings are somewhat
limited the artisticness Of the style and the
general boldness and vigor in handling the
subject treated gives the most pronounced sat
isfaction to the patrons of the paper. As ex
planned in yesterdays APPEAL the supply Was
limited owing to the immense difficulty of OBJ
tanning duplicate prints, and only the leading
advertisers of the paper and the business
houses along Carson street were served.
sEAANS FOR EXTRA COPIES.
The copies Of the cartoon distributed with
sensation all along the line, and by 10 o'clock
there was q rush to the APPEAL Office for extra
numbers Of the great work of art. In RIDER to
supply the almost crazy desire Oh the part Of
.he public fresh plate was prepared and a
hundred aud fifty additional prints made. No
further work was done after this, as the artist
determined to follow the plan adopted by a
celebrated English etcher, who destroyed the
plates of his work after two hundred copies
had been printed. After he was dead the
rarity of the work caused 1T to command a fab
ulous price in the art market.
EXCITEMENT OF THE DOLLY vARDENs.
At All early hour there was a noticeable ex-
element at the Dolly Warden headquarters.
mass meeting of the organization was called
at once. and Notwithstanding the fact that the
call was upon short notice and there was
time to advertise in the APPEAL, the club
room was packed with at least twelve people
by noon. District Attorney Driesbach ad
dressed the meeting and held up the cartoon
for inspection. The result was that several
parties who had not seen the picture before,
rushed off to tn. APPEAL office to purchase
copies. There Being but three persons left
"a series of resolutions were Immediately
adopted, denouncing the artist Of the Cartoon
AZ an enemy to the human race. Mr.. Dries
bach being called upon to deliver an opinion
as to whether the cut was libelous or not, re-
ferred the matter to Gen. Edwards, who i'm
mediately retired to consult the authorities.
Mr.. E. j. Parkinaon, the rising young States
man, who is now recognized as the political
leader Of the Dolles in Ormsby county, made
IA speech which abounded with dramatic elo-
quence and was rich in the delightful meta
phor which has given him a reputation among
the class of people who have never heard him
talk
