of sixty different persons on mortgages and
checks, on all of which he has raised 5000,
which he spent. He raised $1,000 for

ated intense excitement, the parties to it
moving in the highest social circles. When

While his wife was a visit to Boston, Mrs.
Russell aggravated him by some sarcastic
remarks, and he pushed her down some
steps leading to the kitchen. In struggle
that ensued she got him under and aimed
several blows at him with piece Of crock
eryware in her hand. This infuriated him,
and throwing the old lady of he reached for

The house mothers work is almost end
less. She has no regular hours for labor;
they never terminate. From the lighting
of the fire in the kitchen Or the waking of
the children, to the extinguishing of the
last light in the house, woman's brain and
hand must be busy, and wealth generally
increases her labor instead Of diminishing
it. But every successful mistress of q
household, small or great, must combine
the qualities Of designer, overseer and
workman, and realize that not only prop
erty but health, and even life itself, are in
one way or another seriously affected by
her work. Perhaps ninety-nine women in
a hundred fail to realize the responsible
ties of their position; but, all the same,
their work must be done. How it is done
every careful observer knows; health is
sacrificed, and the average woman Of forty
looks older than her husband at fifty. The
home work of woman needs revision. With
a slighter physique than men she is ex-
pected to daily endure a strain that no
man would tolerate for any length of
time. Until what is modestly called
housekeeping is recognized as the noble
science that it really is, and is carefully
studied, the slaughter of women by over
work will continue, for at present it re.
quires that every woman shall be a prod
ICY Of sense, industry and endurance, in
order TO discharge her manifold duties
with credit to herself and comfort to 9TH

S.aax 20 N G,nuunh ulNvuSn

The Lander Band Give q Splendid
Concert to q Crowded House.
Yesterday was quite a gala day on Ruby
Hill, the occasion being the visit of the
Austin Band in return for the visit Of the
Union Guard Band to the latter place
some time ago. The ball commenced to
roll about 5 o'clock P. NJ, by the Union
Guard Company, sixty strong, meeting at
the armory and coming out in full uni
form, headed by the Union Guard and
Lander Bands. The company paraded the
principal streets of the town. Proceeding
to New Town, Captain Thomas Johns put
the "boys'' through a variety of military
m~aneuvers, in which they showed marked
improvement. Returning, they went in a
body to Miners Union Hall to listen to
the excellent concert given by our Austin
friends. The hall was literally packed
with a pleased and appreciative audi
ance, who seemed as though they
would never get tired Of the music,
vocal and instrumental. Mesdames Prisk
and Helbrook and Master Harry
Prisk were, of course, the main features
Of the evenings entertainment. The
efforts of these artists were received with
marked appreciation, being greeted in
several instances by tremendous applause
and enthusiastic encores. We think our
visitors are we'll pleased with their visit to
Ruby Hill, and that the Ruby Killers are
pleased is only a mild way of putting it.
They are delighted, and wish their guests
to come again at no distant day.
After the concert a sumptuous feast was
spread by Mr.. Ed. Trofatter, who is chief
as restaurateur, in which both bands
participated. After the supper a dance
was the next thing on the programme,
which, no doubt, was enjoyed by the Ruby
Hill folks and their guests to the full.

THE HEATHER CHINEE.
One New England Paper That Sees
the Point Clearly.


the Point Clearly.
The Springfield (Mass.). Republican,
the best known and probably the most in
tiuential newspaper in all New England,
says: One fact which ought to impress
the East with the substantial unanimity of
sentiment on the Pacific Coast as to the
desirability of restricting Chinese immi-
grafton, is the silence of the clerical bodies
and the pulpit Of California and Oregon at
this time. The clergy of those States num-
Der some men who would speak with great
force to the country, if they thought that a
great outrage was being perpetrated upon
an alien race without cause and substan-
tial grievance on the part of the people.
But the fact is that some of the clerical
bodies, and perhaps all of them, have
formally and officially had this pressing
social problem under ADJUSTMENT, and
have come to the conclusion that it is un-
wise longer to permit free immigration
from China to America. We believe that
the Congregational body has placed itself
on record to this effect. 1t is nonsense to
regard the demand for this legislation as a
mere outgrowth of political greed for
votes, for the dominant party Of the coun-
try and the Pacific States has only lost
votes by its agitation. If the immigration
were to go on unrestrained, it would sim
ply p%recipitate upon us another of those
problems which have no mercy for the
peace of nations, and in the face of which
ordinary considerations of party expedien-
cy count for nothing.

Albion Va. Richmond,

The Reno Journal Of Thursday says /:
The Richmond Mining Company, repre-
sented by its attorneys, Hon. Thomas
Wren. Gen. Robert M. Clarke and Grit
tenden Thornton. applied to Chief Justice
Leonard yesterday for a writ Of error to
the Supreme Court of the United States.
The Albion Mining Company, represented
by Senator William NJ. Stewart and L. L.
Robinson, is opposing the issuance of
the writ, and a large number OF
witnesses are in attendance to prove the
value OF the ground in dispute. The
Richmond Company seeks to show that
the ground is Of little value, and there
fore the bond on appeal should be fixed
by Judge Leonard at d nominal sum, while
the Albion contends that there are "mil-
lions in it," and that the bond should be
fxed at a sum. the penalty Of which would,
In some little measure, compensate the
Albion Company for the long delay pend
ing the appeal, should the Supreme Court
of the United States affirm the decision OF
our Supreme Court. The granting OF the
writ will tie up the property for at least
| four years, and it is impossible to calculate
the injury that will follow to the laborers
and all classes Of citizens OF Eureka ana
the loss to the State in revenue on the
bullion that could be produced from ore,
which unquestionably exists in the, Albion
ground. No doubt Judge Leonard Will
carefully consider all these questions and
fix the penalty of the bond at a sum which
will induce the Richmond party to think
twice before mourning the liability which
would follow, should the Supreme Court
Of the United States say the appeal was
frivolous.

A Remarkable Case.

A. H. Barnes, says the Reno Gazette, is
feeling the result of the long winter and
spring. He has suffered from cold, and
the opening in his side is closed up so that
the tube does not reach in over four
inches, and there has lately been no dis
charge through it from the lung. To-day
DR.. Bishop performed an operation which
was imperatively necessary to open the old
passage into the lung cavity, and inserted
o temporary tube. Meanwhile a new one
ia being prepared. At the present
time Mr.. Barnes is resting quietly, feeling
much relief after the operation and the
discharge of matter which had been pent
up by the closing up of the inner end of
the duct. This is one Of tho most re-
markable cases known to surgery. The
tube has been constantly worn since 1868,
and the least obstruction or stoppage of
the discharge causes immediate suffering.
His left lung was first capped" in 1s49,
and the accumulated matter drawn off
and the ~incision allowed to close again,
until it was reopened and a tube inserted
in 1859.

A Moral COmrRua.

In order not to be bothered by people
who might be DESTROYS Of opening a cash &C.
count, a certain business man put up a sign
that told this painful story: Ono money
loaned here" A good judge Of human
nature entered the store a few days ago
and asked for the loan of $40. The owner
of the sign knew the customer, and he
Immediately went to the safe and took out
the desired amount. The caller then OBJ
served: 81 saw that sign and l knew l
could borrow the money" "Why did
you think SOP" asked the store keeper.
because, any man who will keep that
kind of a sign has not the moral courage
to refuse the loan Of money" The legend
was Immediately taken down and con-
signed to the stove.
