Bad for Cutting Machines.

All plays with snow scenes in them
are held in bad odor by newspaper
Offices. The snow is manufactured by
cutting paper into small pieces and
sifted down on the stage through an af-
fair that swings when man at the side
of the stage pulls the string. When
such play is billed the agent comes to
a newspaper Office and wants the use of
the cutter to manufacture the snow
storm. When theatrical agent gets
through with a paper cutter it costs SIS
to sharpen it up and get it in shape to
do the regular work of the office. If
the printers could get the authors of
these shivering melodramas under the
knife of the cutter all hands would take
a supreme pleasure in bearing down on
the lever.

The People In a state OF Riot at SIKH
bereeu.

DUBLIN, June S.-A report that
Father Murphy of Skull had been arrest
ed proves unfounded. The report,
however, threw the people into vio-
lent ferment Thousands of men and
women crowded into the village of
Skull, wrecked a police station and
Office, tore down the telegraph wires
and cut up portion of the road. The
excitement was taken up by the people
of Skibbereen, who at last accounts
were engaged in a fearful riot. They
wrecked the house of a car owner. who
had supplied cars to the police. Their
indignation became unbounded when
they discovered that special train
with 800 military had been sent from
Cork, and they tore down the telegraph
wires to Ballydehob. Skull is reported
mac cessible by the ordinary roads, which
are broken up and the bridges pulled
down. Five hundred foot soldiers, 20
Dragons and 70 Service Corpsmen with
a gun are being sent to the scene.

CARSOHS HEAVY NAH.


Yesterdays Reno Journal contained
an item to the effect that Geo. Tufly of
this city was no longer the heaviest
man In the State, but that Nels Ham,
mond Of Reno was the heavy man Of
the sagebrush. Yesterday an APPEAL
reporter called at the Savings Bank and
found Mr.. Tufly with the Journal in his
hand very much excited. He read the
Jo,wnalitem; 1t surprised and astonished
him. He had taken the paper regularly
and paid his subscription for four years.
He was at a loss to understand why an
attempt should be made to belittle him.
"a town don't amount to much with
out fat man." said he, swinging round
his chair that the reporter might see
him to good advantage. "Look at the
money have sQuandered for the sake
of Carson. Only the highest kind of
living and the best brands of wine can
put man in this condition. know
Hammond; he's only shrimp. He
paid the Journal to put the item in.
Some day Pm going down to Reno
without my cOrsets."
"COrsets ?" exclaimed the scribe.
"Oh yes; I wear cOrsets to fool peo-
pie. Some day a man will want to bet
that don't measure twelve feet around
the waist. I'll unloose my corsets and
win the bet. Few people realize how
big am when Pm let out"
Some day Mr.. Tufly will call on Sem
ator Powning of the Journal and he will
think that the Asylum building is on
top of him.

Ordered Out by tho vigilantes.
The Eureka Leader has the following:
"a gentlemen just from Newark Valley
informs our reporter that rumor is
current in the Valley that Jim Meyers
and Frenchman, whose name we did
not learn, who have been living at
Antelope Springs, were given notice
to leave by the stock men in that Sec
ton, under penalty of lynching. 1t
appears that Meyers and the French
man are in very bad repute among the
cattle men on account of several little
stock stealing affairs laid at their doors,
and hence the order. The report has it
that eight men visited the cabin occu-
pied by Meyers and his partner and
gave them week, ending on last Sat-
urday, in which to decamp. 1t is said
that they took the hint, and have left
for Wood River.

Tom Keenc.

Tom Keene, at present the most pop
ular of our American tragedians, will
play Orchard lip at the Opera House
tonight. Mr.. Keene has during the
past year achieved a success in the
Eastern States which was almost I'M
paralleled. From good leading man
he became a star which fairly blazed in
the theatrical heavens He returned
to San Francisco to complete his
triumph only to be scored by the small
fry theatrical critics who are the pests
of journalism in that city. The fact
that Keene had left San Francisco and
made success in the East contrary to
their predictions was sufficient incen-
tive to them to yelp in concert at his
heels. Keene might have taken val
liable lesson from Mccullough and by
feeding these starvlings on cheap din
ners and uncomfortable wine, secured
an endorsement. The fact that he did
not stamps him as a man whom Nevada
will be glad to welcome. Keen is an
actor who travels on his own merits and
is as careless of criticism as bull frog
of summer shower. The public like
his naturalness and manliness and he
Is Conscientious enough to act as well in
a provincial town as he would be fore
the biggest audience in New York.

THE CURLRY TROUPE.


Day before yesterday Carson was
visited by the famous Curley family,
consisting Of mother and six children,
who the day before had been furnished
with tickets to San Francisco by the
Commissioners Of Storey county. The
Curiey family have given the author
tiles unbounded trouble for several
years past The head Of the family,
old Curley, is almost constantly In Jail
for misdemeanors Of various descip-
tions and his wife Is almost constantly
in the county hospital. The children
range from q sucking child to a girl Of
fifteen. The family refuse to work and
have been kept by the county until the
whole outfit are looked upon as an un-
mitigated nuisance. When it was an
nounced that they had left the Com
stock, solemnly promising never to re-
turn, it was supposed that they had
shaken the dust of the sagebrush from
their feet for ever. On arriving at
Reno, however, they sold their tickets
and took the back track. When they
reached Carson they applied to Sheriff
Swift for assistance. He told them that
they could lodge in the Jail if they
wanted to, when they moved off and
were not seen again until yesterday
when they again called at the Sheriff's
office and announced that they would
return to the Comstock, where the
County Commissioners would be obliged
to feed them. They left on the noon
train for Virginia City.

A Pencil SharpeneF.

A dun pencil with the lead worn
down to the wood often results in a
stupid and badly worded article. Peo-
pie write a stock order with a stubby
pencil and the broker gets the wrong
stock. A badly sharpened pencil often
results in a man losing hundreds of
dollars. William B. Daugherty, Deputy
State Controller, has invented machine
for sharpening pencil scientifically.
You simply put the pencil in hole
and work lever and it is sharpened
perfectly. Numbers of people call every
day at his office to see the machine
work and all pronounce it just the thing
so long needed. He expects to secure
a patent on it Immediately.

A Soft Coal Burner.

A soft coal base burner has been the most Sc
rious problem stove makers have had to contend
with for years. Hundreds OF styles have been
made, but few can be called successes. Probably
the "Garland for soft coal' is as near perfection
as a soft coal base burner can be made. 1t can
be regulated perfectly, and every device to pre-
vent caking Of coal when heated, and all guards
against clogging up of tlues, magazine, &C.,
have been put on the stove. Messrs. Booth 4
Kendall, who alone sell 1t here, are satisfied 1t
can be recommended, their very imperfect test
Of it having convinced them it is the best they
have seen, and as far as our observation goes we
agree with them. As one OF them is now in ope'
ration at their store, our readers the vast major
ity of whom burn soft coal, should examine It'd
points.
The Splendid for hard coal continues to sell
