The President.

ELBERON, Sept. l3.-S:30 A. NJ
Official Bulletin. AT the eXamin-
alton of the President at A. NJ. to-day
his temperature was 1914, pulse, 100,
respiration 20. He passed comfortable
night, sleeping most of the time, and
on the whole his condition this morn
ing is encouraging and gives promise
of good day.
ELBERoN, Sept. l3.-At l. A. NJ. the
President sent for his surgeons. Doc
tors Hamilton, Bliss and Boynton
hurried over, creating some alarm, by
their rapid movements. The surgeons
were in the cottage but about fifteen
minutes when they emerged. DIR.
Hamilton said the President being very
dcsirous of being moved from his bed
to an invalid's chair, and feeling strong
enough to stand the change, had sent
for the doctors to have it made. They
deemed it safe and lifted him into the
chair, where he now sits in reclining
position, enjoying the change of posi-
ton very much.

A Detroit man has invented breech-
loading cannon to be used to pitch base
ball. He is experimenting on bat
that can be worked by an engine, and
it is believed that by having the balls
fastened to stout chains which can be
wound around pulleys to bring the ball
in, that by next year the National
game of baseball can be played entirely
by machinery. and that thousands of
muscular tramps who now pound
leather can be induced to work fO-
wages. 1t will be Il great help to the
country

To Correspondents.

"Tax-Payer" calls attention to the fact
that there is log in the street in front
Of his premises, and he spoils four sheets
of foolscap with atrocious English in
making the complaint. Then he slurs
our worthy Sheriff, and repeats that old
joke about "the race not being always
to the Swift" "Tax-Payer' is advised to
turn his attention to log-rolling and drop
newspaper literature.
.'Stage."-This correspondent thinks
the mimic stage might be made moral
instructor. Does our correspondent
ignore the efforts of Mike Leavitt,
or Levy, in this direction? "Stage"
spells drama thus, d-r-a-m-m-e-r, for
getting that there is wide difference
between drama and drammer, although
they are sometimes synonyms. He is
further informed that Aeschylus is not
copyist after Bouccicault, as A came
before b. Aeschylus, if we may be
permitted to air limited classical
knowledge, was moderately success

Scanfand Heard From

Everybody, or nearly every body
hereabOuts remembers J. NJ. Scanland
who, if the writer's recollection of date
be good, Was engaged irregular!y OF
Carson papers in 1875 and 1876. Sean
land is now employed as city editor O
the Denver (Col.) Erening Press. Sean
land, encouraged by the examples OF
other ambitious idiots in the line OF
writing for the stage, wrote play-nO
doubt a very bad one. Scanland called
his what-is-it the "MOrmon Marriage"
and claims that he gave the manuscript
to an amateur actress named Ruth
Everett, and that his confidence has
been grievously misplaced. Not to give
too delicate point to the matter,
Scanaand says the Everett person stole
his play, and has been trying to palm
it off on creduleus and suffering peo-
pie as her own. Scanland metaphori-
cally has gone for the offending Ruth,
and in card in a New York dramatic
paper he handles the alleged offender
in Ruthless manner. Among other
cruel things said of Everett by Sean
land, he charges her with an unpardon-
able anatomical ignorance to this effect:
in one of the most pathetic scenes of the
play, where the grief stricken and over
married heroine is supposed to place
her hand on her heart, she makes the
gesture by placing the hand about
twelve inches below the region where
Or. Bliss would doubtless locate the
organ. Now for the other side of the
story Miss Everett, who has brought
out new play under the name of
'sRuth, the Mormon Wife," which she
has extensively advertised and in which
she intends to star it this season, says,
that ScaRland did give
her the manuscript of what he impru-
1ently called a play, but that it was
such beastly rot that she could do |
Will IL. Ole say lIldt oCtlIl- |
and knows no more about stage bust
hess or the construction of play than
! Berkshire pig does about trigonom-
try; and that Scanland's trash, if given
o the public as he gave it to her,
wouldn't please even Virginia City
audience. Meanwhile she is getting
Ter play well advertised, and Scanland's
riends here strongly suspect that he
nd "the Denver amateur" thoroughly
each other, and that his
ard is part of the advertising pro-
'ramme.

Crosscuttins in PotosI

A crosscut, says the Virginia Chron-
icle of last evening, is being run west
on the 2400 level of the Potosi. The
crosscut to-day was in % feet, and the
face is reported to be in quartz showing
a few lunches of ore. The ore is de-
MED by gentleman who claims to have
definite knowledge. The best informa-
ton obtainable, however, gives favor
able look to the workings. The cross
cut which is now being run is 100 feet
from the south line of the Potosi claim.
At present the main obstacle is the in
tense heat of the level. Although there
is strong flow of water, it is readily
handled by the hydraulic pumps at the
Combination shaft.
