selves with heavy flannel and furs, ana
vet they send out their delicate little
girls with their legs exposed, In some
cases even above the knee, TO the eoiu
winds. 1t is simply foolish desire,
Miss Wright said, to be in the fashion;
Years ago girls wore long dresses, ara
were then sufficiently protected. Ger
tainly girls are not harder now than
they were then. She had lately seen
very small children who wore SOCKS
which left a space OF bare flesh exposed
above them. Little boys with knicker-
bockers generally wear ulsters, ana are
thus protected. The cold Is much more
injurious to girls than to boys. A great
deal OF sickness in the schools, MISS
Wright said, arises from this cause. In
regard TO the answer OF the society, she
said that she could not, with propriety,
give the names of parents oil Ill CLAD
Children. The society could see TIRE
children anywhere in the streets. She
hoped to accomplish much by calling
the matter to public notice, and beliey-
ed that when parents learned OF the
wrong they were doing their children,
thew would seek to remedy this great
evil. -.
A physician skilled in children's dis
eases said that il was undoubtedly I'M
healthy to expose any portion oil the
BODY to cold. 1t affected the lungs and
heart, and was liable to bring on diph-
theritic and other complaints. All chill
dren should wear heavy underclothing
and warm wooden leggings in cold
weather. Stockings are very lnsufn-
cient protection in cold wind. 1t was
wrong to blame the doctors for the short
dresses. They do not set the fashions,
and are only asked for advice when the

Rich and Poor Parents Arraign-
ed Alike BY ~ Sensible Female
RafOrmpr.

Reformcr-
Miss Susan Wright has been teach
or for tweuty-one years in a girls pub
lie school in New York. She is now the
Principal Of the primary department.
A short time ago she wrote letter to
the Board fl Health, in which she said
that the short dresses worn BY many Of
the girl pupils did more harm than bad
nlnmbiny and defective ventilation,
and that the fashion made the children
liable to rheumatism, consumption,
pneumonia, and other diseases, which
are the result OF exposure. Her letter
closed as follows:
"My sympathy for the ill-used chill
dren OF the rich and poor compels me
10 ssk your attention TO this crying
abuse, and TO risk the unpopularity OF
putting the blame where it rightly be-
tongs-upon physicians, too tender
pocketed TO make parents full sharers
in the blame which belongs TO neglect
ed buildings and ignorant teachers, in
this murder Of the innocents."
The Board Of Health referred the let
ter TO the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Children. Mr.. Elbrldge 7.
Gerry, the President Of the society, re-
turned an answer in which he wrote:
"It is impossible for the society TO in
terfere upon the general complaint pre-
ferred by Miss Wright. II she will fur
nish evidence of any specific act OF will
full cruelty, the case will be prosecuted
at once"
Miss Wright said yesterday to a re-
porter that even psor children in
her school had been given dresses Of a
proper length they had returned next
day with the dresses cut short. The
children of wealthy parents were as

A Good Idea.

A World Washington special says:
Governor Fremont, of Arizona, has sug-
gested. to the Interior Department,
apropos of the Apache troubles, that the
United States unite with Mexico a por-
ton of the upper part of Lower Cali
fornia, to be used as place of exile for
all troublesome Indians. Mexico, he
suggests, is equally interested with the
United States in sequestering the In
dams of the border, and would unite
with us in executing the scheme. The
Pacific Ocean, Gulf of California and
chain of forts on the Isthmus would hem
them in there, and peace would prevail
throughout the West.

Parties for the Winter.

It is the intention of the ladies in
charge of the Library to give series
of dancing parties at the Carson Opera
House during the coming Winter, COM
mencing, as early, perhaps, as the first
week in next month. If the patronage
justifies, these parties will be given
every Saturday evening, commencing
at O'Clock and to close before midnight.
The popular price, fifty cents each adj
mission, will be the rule. These hops
will be conducted properly, care will be
taken that Objectionable characters are
not admitted, and the proposed social
gatherings ought to be pleasant affairs
to participants and profitable to the
management of the Library.

For a ReUuisitiOn.

Governor Kinkead yesterday re-
ceived the following telegram from
Eureka county:
"Charles Annis, convicted in this
county and sentenced June Is, 1879,
for seven years and one-half, for grand
larceny, and escaped from me, is now
in custody in Colorado. Send requi-
sition for him. His alias is Charles
Allison. Forward papers by next mail"
OF course, requisition could not be
sent on mere telegram, as the Cover
nor advised Sheriff Kyle by dispatch
but on receipt of the proper papers the
requisition will be forwarded. Annis,
as most of the APPEAL readers will no
doubt remember, escaped by jumping
from passenger train while Sheriff
Kyle was conveying him to the Nevada
State Prison.

The Seance.

The Opera House contained fail
sized audience on Tuesday night t.
witness the seance 1--WE believe this is
the correct word) of Miss Anna Eve
Fay and her two male assistants. The
stage had the usual square tent, cabinet,
or whatever you may call the red cur.
tanned article SO indispensable to this
style of entertainment. The usual COM
mit.ee, who are always selected to dis
cover the hocus-pocus part of the busi-
ness, but who never report any dis
coveries, was selected from the audi
sisted of two prominent citizens of Car
son, Gen. r. NJ. Clarke and Col. A. c..
Ellis, whom nobody suspected of being
in collision with the operator, and who,
of course, were not. The correspon-
dence was not strongly suggestive of
spiritual agencies, and what was read
might have been obtained in a five
minutes talk with any old resident of
Carson or from brief visit to our GEM
etery. The cabinet feats of Miss Fay,
which consisted of ringing of bells, pro-
ducing sounds from a guitar, ETC., were
really done. After each "manifesta-
ton" the curtain was drawn aside, and
there sat the neat, well dressed little
lady with hands tied and looking as
resigned as a Joan at the stake. The
"Lyman test" by Mr.. Cummings, was
cleverly done, but not better than as
given by well known exposers of the
Davenport brothers in this city. The
last test, where Miss Fay appeared
with lady and gentleman from the
seated in front of the cabinet.
was repetition with minor variations
of feats done earlier in the evening.
On the whole the entertainment was
successful from legerdemain point,
but it is doubtful, we think, if Spirit
ualists were strengthened in their be-
lief, or skeptics brought over to "the
new faith" by the exhibition of last
night at the Opera House.

or desert cline and lap the blistering
dew from poisoned fen and weed and
hear a nations curses on thy bloody
deed go where gods love can never
never-shine and battle thy loathsome
carcase in the reptiles slime far in the
torrid zone-upon some cactus bed
stretch thy cursed form too soft for your
infamous head and hear the dread sum-
mons in kissing whispers tell you how
your damned soel is foremost on the
road to hell let the feirce light from the
demons fiery eyes throw thy black
shadow against the threatening skies
and on heils crater may you cen look
back to see the avenging band swift up
OIL your track let space upon eternal
space expand to echo back the curses of
our bleeding land-thou wretch-of

[Oficial Bulletin. AT the examin-

pulse 100, respiration 10. He passed
the night comfortably, sleeping suf-
ficiently. He is bright and cheerful

ELBERoN, Sept. IA P. M.-The
President has just been removed from
his reclining chair to his bed. He re-
manned in his chair for an hour and a

he was rather reluctant about being put

Washington special says: 1t is stated
apparently on good authority that
Mason has taken large quantities OF
quinine, and it is thought that his mind
may have been affected by the excess
sive use of the drug. That his act was
the deed of a desperate man with res
olution but half formed is shown by the
careless and unmethodical manner in
which the shot was fired. He did not
see Guiteau at all, but fred at the spot
where he thought his victim might be
There is a good deal of
apathy in regard to the whole trans
action, and there does not seem to be
much likelihood that Mason will be
brought to trial at all, either before a
civil or military tribunal. Guiteau
has been removed to new
cell, the location of which will be kept
a profound secret even from the guards.
