Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-04-04

DoRA.-The performance of Dora at the
lighted audience. Miss Lena Pttten. in the
title role, acquitted herself with rare grace
and an intelligent conception of the character.
Miss Kelly, as MARY Allen" gave fair rem
dtion of somewhat difficult role J. T.
Preddey and Harry Whitney made about as
much as possible out of the minor parts. jim
Chesley as "Jem Blunt" scored a telling hit
in the low comedy line. E. B. Ztbriskie, as
Farmer Allen" did some astonisningly good
work. We hardly call to mind any profession
al who could have done better. 1t was a clean
cut, sturdy rendition of the character, and in
the last scene he brought the tears from every
body, with piece of acting that both
delicate and powerful. The lateness of the
hour prevents any extended notice of the
musical entertainment before the play. Mrs.
D. A. Bender, Mary Wilson, Dora VanSickle,
Julia Kelsey, Mrs. J. P. Winnie and Messrs.
Mason, I.aughton, Scoville and Chesley APP
peared in duets, solos and quartets, rendering
some excellent selections in the best imagln-
able style. The entertainment was also fnan-
cial success.
A BARBER SHOP EPISODE. Yesterday after
noon a man came into a Carson street barber
shop and settled down into chair with the
air of a man who had plenty of time on his
hands. He wanted everything, shave, hair
cut and shampoo. During the shaving ope-
ration he fell fast asleep. Finally the barber
woke him up. and after cutting his hair asked
him if he would like little tonic put on.
Receiving an affirmative grunt the artist
poured half pint of the tonic on the mans
head and began to rub it ill., The man in the
chair who was half dosing, suddenly rose with
\ yell and astonished the rest of the patrons
by dancing about the room and attempting to
;ear his sea p off and throw it into the stove.
Failing to do this he walked all over the as
ounded barber and then tried to clean out
he shop. 1t was some time before an plan
alton was arrived at and an investigation re-
'ulted in the real facts coming to light Some

The c. P ACCIDENT yesterday the morn
ng mail was four hours late on account of an |
ccident on the G. p road at Emigrant Gap,
where all the accidents happen) When the
lightning train reached this point the east
'ound overland train was at q standstill wait
ng for the track to be cleared. The v & T. |
rain pulled up at point which brought the

ids track, upon which snow-plow, with en-
inc and tender, was standing. The overland
nally pulled out, and there WAS general
histling and hustle. Before the lightning
ad time to follow the overland the snow pillow
