NO ANSWER From THE DEFENSE.
the commissioners Of the Home Take No
ActiOH-ogsiDzezss OF TIE IS .te Press.

AS yet no attempt has been made by
the managers Of the Home to cleal
themselves of the charges of cruelty
and the Commissioners of the institu-
ton have taken nc steps in the matter.
Nearly every paper in the State has un-
quaiifiedly expressed itself on the situa-
| ton and the public verdict has been
almost unanimous.
There can be nothing more ride
ulous than the position taken by the
Aede,r on the Orphans Home cruelties.
Although the editor is a lawyer, he has
! not presented a single fact, either in
| rebuttal of the charges, or in substan-
| tiation of his own absurd assertions re-
| garding the motive Of the people
| making the disclosures. The following
is fair sample of his attitude on the
subject:
Hence comes the conspiracy to dis
grace q noble State institution that, as
we fully believe, is SO conducted as to
fully realize the aim Of its founders; to
blacken fair names and good character;
to pander to the Unsuitable greed of an
ecclesiastical system that negIects 10
means to its own selfish ends. and 10
discourage if possible any further
attempts to bestow benefits upon the
growing generation independently of
the direct control of the Church. Let
the fight proceed. Bring Oh the testi-
mOny.
This is simply frotil. We think it
might be a good idea to rebut the testi-
mony already adduced before calling
for more. 1t is being produced quite
fast enough for the management. The
evidence already produced calls forth
the following from the Reno Gazette:
The facts which have been brought to
light relative to the brutal treatment of
the pupils in the Orphans Home at
Carson, call for the immediate removal !
of Mr.. Mills as manager OF that institu- |
ton.
If one-half the testimony given is
true, he deserves q place in the peDi-
tertiary.
Although Mills is mainly responsible |
for the outrages committed, the teachers |
under him are also culpabIe. Teachers
who have no more decency than to spank
ten-year old girls before q mixed class
are a disgrace to their calling.
The Orphans Home seems to need a
general clearing out, and the sooner that
is done the better.
We opine that the paper that attempts
% defend indecency and child beating
N Nevada will find it uphill work be-
ore it gets through with the business.

The Carson observatory.

The petition signed by the most
prominent men of this city, which was
sent on to Washington, requesting a
telescope for G. w. Friends observa-
tory, met with negative reply. For
several years Mrs. Friend sent meteoro-
logical reports to the Chief Signal Office
at Washington, without pay; but, from
the above, it appears that Republics
do not appreciate gratuitous services.

TO ges1 tsie Opium law.

The Chinese DO not propose to sub
nit to the restrictions of the opium
law without a struggle. The Chronicle
of last night says: "The Chinese Six
Companies have pooled their issues for
the purpose Of testing the constitution
ality of Nevada's new opium law. This
law provides that the simple fact of a
person having Opium or an opium pipe in
his or her possession shall constitute
a misdemeanor, punishable by fine
Or imprisonment. With view of
beating this law, three attorneys have
been retained by the powerful Chinese
companies two from California and
one from Nevada If necessary these
attorneys will carry the case to the Su
prene Court at Washington! 1t is
understood that j. 4. Stephens viii
represent Nevada in the legal trio The
reason the Six Companies are SO bitter
ly opposed to the law is that if it holds
good it will close one Of their greatest
sources of revenue. The trade in opium
gives enormous profits to these COM
panies, who virtually have monopoly
Of the trade, 50 far as the coast in con-

IMPURE BREATH.

Among all the disagreeable consequences

moved by cleansing your teeth daily with

SOZOnONT. It purifies and sweetens the

gives q pearl-like appearance to the teeth.
Gentlemen who indulge in smoking should
cleanse their teeth with SOZODONT, as
it removes all unpleasant odors of the weed.
Ask your druggist for it.

Vampire Bats of Brazil.

Probably no part of Brazil is more
afflicted than portion of the province
of Bahia with the scourge of vampires.
Whole herds of cattle are sometimes de-
stroyed by this venomous bat. It was
long matter of conjecture how the ami
NAL accomplished this insidious and
deadly work, but scientific men have
now decided that the tongue, which is
capable of considerable extension, Is
furnished at its extremity with num-
Der of pipili@, which are so arranged as
to form an organ of suction, the lips
having also tubercles symmetrically ar
ranged. Fastening themselves upon cat
tie, these dreadful animals can draw the
blood from their victims. The wound,
made probably from the small needle
ike teeth, il atine round hole, the bleed
lug from which is very difficult to stop.
It is said that the wings of this deadly
bat fly around during the operation OF
wounding and drawing the blood with
great velocity, thus tanning the victim
and lulling while the terrible work is in
progress. Some of these creatures
measure two feet between the tips of
their wings, and they are often found in
great numbers in deserted dwellings In
the outskirts of the city. The negroes
and Indians especially dread them, and
there are numerous superstitions among
the natives regarding them.

LGng Infantry Range.

When the PrusSian Guard commenced
their movement at the battle OF Grave
iotte against St. Priyat they were distant
from the village about 2, 500 yards. The
advance being plainly made out by the
French infantry in possession, the Inter
began to fire, and SO murderous was the
execution that the enemy were brought
to halt when scarcely within replying
distance of their own arm. The Sc
verest loss was experienced in the inter
val between LOO yards and 700 yards.
In the Russian attack upon the Turks
at GOrni-Dubniak their advancing col
umns began to feel the effects of
infantry fire when still a mile and
half away. When they got
a quarter of a mile nearer, bullets swept
the columns like hail-storm. more or
less partial, and between three-quarters
Of a mile and half the fire became incon-
ceivably violent, causing enormous
losses. In every action the Turks began
to fire away as fast as they could the
moment the enemy came within the ex-
IRENE reach of their weapon, and the
Russian columns lost severely in conse-
quence. The French in their war were
somewhat more sparing of ammunitions
nevertheless, the tactics they pursued
with such success at st. Privat were
repeated in subsequent actions, and
it was remarked by the Prussians
Chat they suffered more at the
longer than at the shorter ranges.
At first sight it would seem, then,
that the best course for infantry to
pursue in the future is to initiate these
tactics, to open fire at the furthest pos
sible reach, and to continue the fire re-
CARELESS Of expenditure in ammunition.
That arm must be procured which, hay
ing due regard to lowness of trajectory,
can carry furthest, be discharged and re-
loaded quickest, and it will be the first
care of a General to provide for instant
and constant use an unlimited supply Of
cartridges. The Turks carried on their
persons, or had at hand, cartridges
enough to allow of each man firing all
through battle as much as he pleased.
The Russian soldier has on or by him
12O cartridges, which is more than any
other European soldier has, but it is
plain that, if battles are to be fought on
the above conditions, 100 cartridges per
man are insufficient for the necessities

Shamefaced enough, were the mem
bers of the torehhght brigade. Every
one of them loved the minister and
admired pretty little Minnie, and they
would not have grieved her for the
world. What would Mr. Shaw ~think
now of his "honest boys" for they
bravely decided to tell him everything
and to give up the nuts for Minnies
benefit.
They went at once and told him the
whole story. He was very kind.
II am glad you came to me volun-
tarily, ho~s," he said 81 thank you
for that. I am sure this will be lesson
to you. I am going to preach you a
short sermon.
First: Never NEEDLE with the prop
erty of others, no matter how small the
value may appear.
Secondly: Try to check wrong
thoughts promptly.
Thirdly: IF you have done wrong BE-
brave and confess it. Ask God to for
give you and to help you make what
amends you can.
Mr.. Shaw has preached many sermons
before and since, but I doubt if he ever
preached one that did more good.
Mrs. West was glad to take the nut
money for Minnie's music lessons. and
became greatly interested in her promis-
ing pupil.
Pills mother, plying the motherless
child of the poorly paid minister, helped
her in every way that she could, and
under her instruction Minnie learned to
make pretty clothes for herself and little
comforts and dainties for her father and
Cuthbert.

some way the act and it's amendment
became known, for GA good friend to

things not their own; and I think they
will keep their own VOWS. But it will be
a long time before boy among them

women whom he had attached to him
by his powers of fascination. When
he had no woman in his heart, " says his

ans heart. Balzac might lave returned
the compliment" In reference to his
early fondness for natural history,
Goethe says, 81 remember that, when
a child pulled flowers to pieces to see
how the petals were inserted into the
calyx, or even plucked birds to observe
how the feathers were inserted in the
wings" Bettina remarked to Lord
Houghton that he treated women in
much the same fashion.
