A Ludlcrous stage. Death. scene.

Camille died last night at the Chest
nut Street Opera house, not only to slow
music but to Che unrestrained laughter
OF the audience as well. The death
scence was marred by most ludicrous
accident. When the curtain arose for
the last act, with Camille discovered
lying on couch partly covered by a
furry robe, and the dews of death all
ready gathering on her brow, the house
was still and expectant. After leaving
the death-chamber CASTOR re-entered.
and the dying woman Iaised herself to
greet him. At that moment there was
an ominous creak, and one Of the sup
ports of the couch gave way, The
actress seemed to grasp the situation
instantly, and attempted to conceal the
difficulty by heaving long-drawn sigh.
and throwing herself back, but tho ac-
ton only made matters worse. The
death bed gave way at one corner with
crash, and the audience began to litter.

the situation and were laughing very
audibly, but when CASTOR approached,

dying woman, could not. control their

Fun for the King,

Cetewayo invented new way OF max.
ing change. A dentist having pulled O
tooth for him, objected to the amount of
gold the Zulu King insisted ON heaping
upon him. o
"All rightr said Cetewayo, 'tif II
isn't, I'll make it right"
Tie king called in his guards and bade
the dentist to draw their teeth, which
was done amidst yells and writhings that
Celewayo hugely enjoyed. In sSct, he
1ked 1T so much that he pensioned the
dentist, made him one Of his household.

tooth-drawing every Saturday afternoon

These attempts at revising the arS OF
naezzotint as employed upon original
work have q special interest besides that
which attaches to them as experiments
so far successful and promising to be

and refined style in which English
artists, inspired as they were by
sthe beautiful pictures OF Reynolds and
GainsbGrough, more than hundred
years ago, arrived OF the highest perfec-

The Wells stage stopped by Higway-
men.

About l O'Clock last Monday the
Wells stage was stopped by two high
waymen. about a mile this side OF the
Sprucemont station, whose demand
for Wells, Fargo &c Co.'S box was en-
forced by drawn revolvers IN the
driver, John Hamilton, who was
alone on the stage. John complied
with the demand, and in the most ar
tistic style of the profession they pro-
ceeded to smash it open and examine
its contents, which proved anything
but remunerative, only about $40 be-
ing realized on the job. The rob-
bers were disguised-one with a
handkerchief tied over his face, with
holes for the eyes, the other wore a fur
cap which completely covered his face.
They were large-sized men and seem-
ed put out mt their meagre find in the
treasure box. From their actions
they must have been old hands at
the business. Two parties have start
ed out from here to intercepted the
freebooters, whose course Is believed
To be pretty we'll known. They are
mounted and travelling leisurely.

will not prove a great incentive 10

what Ex-senator Spencer wanted For.

1t will be remembered:tha about a month
ago two Z. S. Deputy Marshals. arrived in
Cherry Creek who kept the object of their
mission very secret. 1t was only when they
were about to leave it leaked out that they
were .'.in4 search of ex-senator George 4.
Spencer CT Centreville, to take him to Wash
ington to testify in the star route cases. They
did not, however. find Mr.. Spencer, he hav-
ing left for the East a few days before their
arrival. and as the marshals supposed, to APP
pear in Court as witness in those cases. Now
the news comes from Washington that Spen-
Ger has failed to appear, and his absence ex-
cites much comment because he is a Govern
ment officer, and places the President in an
awkwark position, as he cannot very well
overlook this refusal to obey a summon from
the Government in a case Of such Importance
as the star route trial. Colonel Bliss, Special
Prosecuting Attorney for the Government,
makes affidavit that he believes Spencer can
testify that he was present when 5. M. Dor
sey took from his pocket and put in an envel-
ope six one-thousand dollar bills. saying. as
he did so, that he expected Brady, then AS
sistant Postmaster General. to call soon, as

how he did business. and what sort Of an Off
GER Brady was that Brady did call, and after
a few moments conversation Brady took the
envelope and left without opening it that
Dorsey then said he had more contracts, and
that Brady was a thief. Colonel Bliss further
states. under oath. that he believes Spencer
can testify that Dorsey went to his room in
New York in great trouble and dependency,
because his clerk had given the secret Of the
star route ring away and betrayed him, but
that later Dorsey told him tho matter was
fixed up, as the clerk had been persuaded to
make affidavit denying the original state
ment. Bliss states that Spencer told this
story to General Boynton and a numher Of
others, and that he believes Spencer will SO
swear in Court, if he can be brought into
Court.

A QUESTION ron THE People.
Candidates for the Legislature Should
be Pledged not TO Fund the County
Debt.

10 AgaACu HUI ~ Anu NDC OOuHlH
Debt.
As the time for holding the party
conventions draws near, we deem it
u duty to remind the taxpayers Of
White Pine county that a small clique
OF greedy scrip sharps, in Eureka
and at the county seat, are concotting
plans by which a measure can be put
through the next Legislature, fund
ing the entire debt of the county,
and making the bonds issued in pur-
suance of such legislation to bear in
terest at a rate not less than ten per
cent. per annum. The carrying out
OF such a programme would be ruin
Gus to the public welfare, as every
taxpayer al readily see. The out
standing bonds of the county, on
which tie last interest bearing coupon
has been taken up, is 1914 300; float
ing scrip, $50, 800, or a total indebted
ness of $4,000. Ten per cent. in
terest on this sum is $4,000 per an
mum, fully one-half the entire yearly
revenue of the county, not deducting
the States portion, which amounts
to about 50, 600, leaving a surplus of
bnt 50, 900 to carry on the various de-
partments OF the county government.
Can and will the people Of this county
contribute half their annual revenue
10 satisfy the greed of a few Shyloeks,
who mercilessly rave their ''pound
OF flesh2e We think not. But there is
danger in the fact that while the peo-
pie are paying little or no attention to
this subject, the scrip sharps are lay
ing their plans secretly TO send To the
Legislature men WHO will be their
plant tools when they get here. The
question of bonding the Indebtedness
OF our county and %subiecting the peo-
pie to the payment OF burdensolne
taxes to meet the interest, is Of far
more importance to them than any
party or political question Of the day.
And both parties should see TO ii that
none but good men -lnen who have IA
property interest in the county-are
placed on their tickets as Legislative
candidates. They should be pledged
To oppose any and all schemes incn-
bated by the scrip sharps 10 place the
iron heel OF a bonded debt, with
heavy interest. on the industry Of the
people. The best brain and talent OF
the county should be selected to make
our laws, instead OF irresponsible car
pet-baggers, as has heretofore, in
many instances, been the rule.

Let Your Light shine.

An exchange makes this suggestion for bus
mess men: In all towns where a newspaper is
published every business.ma ought to adj
yertise in it, even if it is nothing more than a
card, stating bis name and the kind Of BUSH
ness he is engaged in. 1t helps to sustain a
paper and lets the people at a distance know
that the town is full of business men.
The paper finds its way into thousands OF
places a handful cannot reach. A card in a
paper Is u travelling signs board and can be
seen by every one. Think of these things and
let your light shine brightly.
