a Ball at Carlton House.

Here is a description of ball given
by the last Prince of Wales, afterward
George w.;
"On the 10Th of June, 1911, the
Prince of Wales gave a ball at Carlton
house. The company began to assem-
ble at 9. The royal family with the
principal nobility and gentry, came ear
ly. Owing to the excessive heat of the
weather, there was very little dancing.
Supper was announced at 2, when the
company descended by the great stair
case to the apartments below and the
temporary buildings on the lawn. The
grand table extended the whole length
of the conservatory and across Carlton
house to the length of two hundred
feet. Along the centre of the table,
about six inches above the surface, a
canal of pure water continued flowing
from a silver fountain beautifully con-
structed at the head of the table. It's
banks were covered with green moss
and aquatic flowers; gold and silver
fish swan and sported through the bub
bling current, which produced a pleas
ing murmur where it fell and found a
cascade at the outlet.
"At the head of the table, above the
fountain, sat his royal highness. His
most particular friends were arranged
on each side of him. They were at
tended by sixty servitors; seven wait
ed on the prince, besides six of the
kings and six of the queens footmen
in their state liveries, with one more in
a complete suit of ancient armor. At
the back of the princes seat appeared
aureola tables, constructed to exhibit
with the greatest effect profusion of
exquisitely wrought silver-gilt plate,
consisting of fountains. tripods, eperg-
mes, and other ornaments. Above ap-
peared royal crown, with his males
tys cipher splendidly illumined. Ad-
joining were other tables, running
through the library and whole lower
suit ofrooms, in which the candelabrums
were so arranged that the prince could
distinctly see and be seen from one end
to the other. From the library and
room beyond branched two great lines
of tables under canvas far into the gar
den, each in the shape of a cross, and
richly served with silver plate, and
covered with the delicacies of the sea-
son. When the whole company was
seated, there was line of female beau
ty more richly adorned, and a blaze of
jewelry more brilliant than Eng and
ever displayed before. When dancing
commenced, the gay throng stepped
over floors chalked with Mosaic de-
vices, and moved through thickets of
roses, geraniums, and other fragrant
sweets, illuminated by variegated lights
that cleaned like stars through the TO.

Women Gambling at SARATOGA.

a letter in the New York World
from Saratoga says: One of the recent
amusements of group of ladies at the
Grand Union has been buying pools on
the daily races. They do not 90 to
the track, but meet in the reception
room and agree on the horse. They
admit they scarcely know horse from
a mule, but are governed by their intu-
ltlon. Rather, this secret power re-
sides In one littl lady, who takes the DAVIS
programme and selects the horse. She
does not select the fayorite. That
she says, would be using her Judge
ment, and she has greater faith in her
intuition. She selects the horse and
the other ladies buy, and the ticker
sends them the results, while thew
nurse their excitement in the reception
room during the races. The strangest
part Is that so far she has not made
any mistakes, and the ladies are ra.
diant over their successes. The ladies'
who do not buy amuse themselves by
picking out the winners and CHOOSING
The combination. One of these the

"OFFICIAL BULLETINS,
A Coast Paper that does not Believe In
the Critical Condition OF the
President.

The Bedie Free Press, thoroughly Re-
publican, does not believe that the
President has been dangerously ill. 1t
says: There is something wrong ut
the White House. In our opinion the
doctors in charge of the President are
hoodwinking the public, and have been
sending untruthful reports regarding
Mr.. Garfield's condition. For instace
read the kilograms of Saturday even
ing and those printed this morning.
There is revolution in opinion. On
Saturday the doctors gave the Presi-
dent up; there was no hope for his re-
covery; his death might be expected
at any moment. The dispatches were
gloomy as possible. Now comes an en-
tire change of sentiment. The Presi-
dent feels better, has an appetite; eats
and sleeps well; his pulse is lower and
the signs are that he will recover.
What are we to believe: Did the
physicians headed by DR.. Bliss,
bring Mr.. Garfield down to the
brink of the grave, and then raise
him up again, merely for the purpose
Of deceiving the people and the Presl-
dents family in particular 1t looks
that way. We believe Mr.. Garfield
will recover; we do not think he isnear
deaths door, nor has been in that criti-
cal condition since the first week after
the shot was fired. The public has not
forgotten the case of the Prince of
Wales, how very low he was, and how
very near he came to dying. The fact
is, the royal physicians cooked up the
bulletins, and the result was a great
popular feeling for the unfortunate
Prince. This may not be the case with
DIR. Bliss T. Co., yet it looks as though |
was out of joint and that the
bulletins were untruthful. Let us have |
no more of this. The President is evil
IDENTIFY on the highway to recovery, and |
we shall not believe, now that there
have been so many false alarms, that
he is going to die until the sad intelli-
gence is telegraphed as an assured fact.

All About the Parotid Glands.

Now everybody will be wanting tC
know all about the parotid glands, the
right one of which is reported as in a
state of inflammation. These glands
derive their name from two Greek
words, which express the idea of near
ness to the ear. They lie one on each
cheek below the ear, and, of course, for
ward of it. The function Of these
glands is the secretion of saliva, and
they are the largest of all the salivary
glands. Each is furnished with tube
or duct little, over two inches long,
which opens on the inner part of the
cheek, opposite the upper jaw. Each
gland weighs about one ounce. The
other salivary apparatus is composed of
the submaxillary gland and the SUBJ
lingnal glands which lie, as their names
indicate, the former under the lower
Jaw and the latter under the tongue.
In protacted low fevers the parotid
gland is frequently the seat of fevers,
and sometimes even of assesses. In
f1ammation of this gland, although an
noying and painful, is not necessarily a
serious symptom.

A Night PrOWler.

Night before Is st about 10 o'clock
a man was discovered crawling along a
gutter near Mr.. HaWthorne's house, in
the western part Of the city. On being
discovered he got up and half ran and
half shuffled away. People in Carson
have been troubled good deal of late
by a man who is constantly prying
about peoples houses and offices in the
night. The police propose to take the
matter in hand and discover if possible
the guilty party. The general theory
is that he is either a sneak thief or
some half demented fellow who is not
responsible for his acts?

THE BIRD OF FREEDOM.
How hos Esteemed by the Chinese.

Heap Chin is the Cinnamon who sells
cast-iron radishes and buckskin lettuce
to Laramie people, doing the business
with delivery wagon made of two
waste paper baskets tied to a hickory
pole.
He sells only small amount of garden
truck, it is true, by being economical,
and sleeping nights in a fence corner,
and living on rice and mountain scenery,
he has reduced his expenses so that he
is making money.
He is not handsome, for his eyes are
bow-legged, and his face generally looks
like frightened Zulu; but he don't
care continental so long as he can
work off his gum arabic beets and in
destructable string beans.
The other day he sold four pods of
green peas and radish for twenty-five
cents, and received in payment an Eng
lish shilling, which coin passes here for
two bits.
Heap Chin kicked.
The lady of the house tried to explain
that it was O. X, but the ecru-colored
heather shook his head and answered
yet again:
1.-TWO bittee all same no good. You
heap foolee me sometime all belly good.
Me no sabe two bittee. Fool 'em-all
same chicken"
When it gets so that the glorious
bird Of freedom is characterized by a
squint-eyed heather from an effete
kingdom, as chicken, it looks as though
this glorious republic would have to go
over to China and lick 5000, 100000
Cinnamon in order to correct All erron-
eous impression.-BM Nye IN the

THE PRESENT SITUATION.
1t is quite probable that the two pow

lock and pull together for mutual in
terests. The recent stiffening of north
end stocks means something. There

RROKERS' FEES.
Contemplated Changes in the Schedule

After a prolonged season of dullness,
the brokers are making arrange ments
to get even on lost time. The Footlight
says:
The stock brokers of Gold Hill and
this city have agreed, hereafter, to
charge small commission on all as
sessments paid by them for parties who
have no open accounts on their books.
When the assessment on any particular
lot of stock amounts to 500 or less, the
fee will be fifty cents; on amounts over
500 One-half of one per cent. will be
charged. 1t is also rumored that the
brokers intend soon to charge an adj
mission fee to their Offices. All smiles,
or pleasant words about the state of the
weather made by the clerks in the
brokers' offices to customers will also be
charged for accordingly. One smile,
one dollar, one exclamation of "Nice
day, amt it?" will be charged up at the
rate of one dollar and a half. This is
just and right. There's no use in talk
ing, something has got to be invented
to enable the brokers to make enough
off of customers to pay rent and other
expenses.
To which might be added, "For SELL
ing a man out without notice, no
charge"
