the continent with crown
c scepter, royal robes and insign:
from the King. Last evening
the APPEAL sent a reporter
down to Reno to wayiay the
Chamberlain and inspect the
goods. Colonel Judd was found
seated in a palace car compart-
ment conversing with Mr..
Powning, who was kindly Civ
ing him information as to the
manner of running a Republican
form of government with an &C.
casional insight into the meth
dds of holding primaries in
Washee county. When the
APPEAL representative made
his mission known Colonel Judd
Immediately unpacked the
boxes and showed the reporter
the implements of the Kings
craft. The first was scepter
two aud a half feet long and
heavily plated with gold. De
! string to combine utility with
display, the maker had followed
out the instructions of the King
and combined several useful
household implements with the
rod of power. At one end a
! lions claw of pure gold was
made so that Mrs. Kalakua
could take up carpets in the
Spring. | would lift tacks as
fast as one could count and drive
them back again by turning the
scepter over. The other end had
q contrivance which combined
the stove litter with a slit which
could be fastened on to- the rim
of a skillet or any sort Of a pan.
In stewing oysters or warming
over cold hash the scepter comes
in mighty handy. 1t can also
be used to kill cats, drive cows
out of a yard and beat the OLD |
woman with. The Colonel was !
very warm in his admiration OF !
the talents of the inventor, and !
Mr.. Allen Bragg, who was also
on the train, suggested that
nut cracker could be added and
Colonel Judd noted it down on
his ivory tablet. The crowns
for the King and his wife were
very elaborate and 50 fixed in
side that they could be used as
jelly mOlds or beer tanks. The
horns on the top served the
crown Of the King as legs, when
turned upside down, and make
a neat and tasty spittoon and
other useful crockery. At the
of spittoons Colonel
Judd remarked that he never
saw IA man who could squirt to-
bacco juice with such accuracy
as Minister Daggett. ~ have
seen him let fly at a spittoon
over twelve feet away, playing
between the King and the
queen, and never hitting either,
while he nailed the center of
the spittoon every time" MIR.
Bragg said that he had seen
play all night between
the king and the queen at Joe
Stewards game near the Washoe
Club and hit neither. Mr..
MIR. Powning smiled knowingly,
but Colonel Judd was in the
dark. The royal robes were
next introduced. The ermine
could be turned inside out and
by means of an extra strap
turned into fine ulster over
coat with pockets for cigar cases,
cards and whisky TASKS.
The robe is so large that by let
ting out the tuck strings it
makes II blanket for the royal
bed, and when the King gets on
a lam boree the robe falls so low
that it completely concealed the
shakiness of the legs. The

A Mistake Somewhere

The Chronicle Of last evening
has the following:
The Carson Bee fought gal
lantly for the success Of the
Democratic party in the recent
State election, and died at its
post after the victory was won.
No Democratic victories were
won in this county, and the
Chronicle man certainly cannot
consider that the trading off Of a
whole ticket for Congressman
and Governor Is a victory. 1t
must necessarily allude to the

How Kewspaesr Rmned a Rsstaannnt.


The proprietor Of a restaurant adj.
vertised in an Arkansaw newspaper,
and refused to pay the bill at the end
Of the month, declaring that he had
not realized any benefit and that he
would not pay for what he did not re-.
ceive. The newspaper man remon.
strated, and the restaurant man order.
ell him out Of the house. The next
issue Of the paper contained few par
agraphs which did not prove uninter-
esting 70 the restaurant man.
The world has ever been filled with
spiteful rivalry. The man who start
ed the report that he found cat hair
in the hash at Meckletons restaurant
is unquestionably a slanderer. We
have eaten at his restaurant, and we
can truthfully say that we never
found cat hair in the hash nor dog
hair in the soup. Another man re-
gardless Of truth, declared on the
street yesterday that he had found
three crickets and horse fly in one Of
Meckleton's biscuit. This is too ri.
diculous. We never found three in
his biscuit"
Another paragraph said "Meckle.
tons restaurant is the best house in
town. Don't believe the slanderous
rumOr that he uses hospital sheets for
table cloths"
The restaurant man was so mad
that he wanted IN shoot the. editor,
but cooling down a little, he swore
out a warrant for arrest on charge of
SANDER. The editor was arraigned
before the court, but the just judge
aher hearing the evidence and read
ing the paper, dismissed the case. The
restaurant hasn't had but one custom
or since and he was a blind man.
Learning that he was in Meckleton's
house, he heaved and went out. Ii

A Curious Ire

Lieutenant Houghton, who has re-
Gently visited New Guinea and sever.
al other groups Of Islands in the Pa
cilic, reports the existence Of pre-
hensile tree. IL appears to be a spe.
cies Of ficus, allied 10 the we'll known
banyan-tree, which throws out from
It's branches air roots, that eventually
reach the ground, and take root there,
and in their turn become new stems,
which perform the same function; so
that single tree will eventually ex-
tend 80 far as TO form a complete for
ess, in which the stems are united by
the branches TO each other. The pre-.
hensile tree in question similarly
throws out from its branches long,
flexible tendrils, which touching the
ground. do not take root there, but
Irvine around any article that may lie
within their reach. After time these
quasi branches contract, so that they
fail to reach the ground; but the fing.
er-like processes continue TO closely
gripe the article round which they
have twined themselves, and which
are consequently suspended in mid
air. In this way, articles of consid.
cradle weight may be literally picked
up from the ground and held in sus-
pension.
