Prayer for u COnsumptive Lady
Brother Mccoy COnvaIescent.
The following story is given just as it
appears in the San Francisco Examiner.
Some persons will swallow it without con-
diment, but there are others who will take
it cum grano sails: "The custom Of
sending in written requests for prayer in
behalf Of those who may be suffering
from moral ailment or disease, is a grow
ing one in the MONDAY meetings at Y. M.
G.. A. Hall, and receives great encourage
ment from the report that in several cases
these prayers have been heard and
answered. The drink appetite, it is said,
has been aken away from several persons
who were slaves to it, and others have re-
covered from various ailments that affected
them. The most recent and prominent Of
these cases is that of H. j. Mccoy, Super
intendent of the Y. NJ. c.. Association,
who has been unable to be present for
several days this week from sickness.
Earnest prayer was made for his recovery,
and yesterday he was present, though he
took no part. He makes no secret of his
conviction that he owes his speedy re-
covery under God to the prayers offered
in his behalf. Among other requests for
prayer read yesterday was one for a dis
sipated young man, that the unclean
spirit, with which he is possessed, might
go out OF him, and one was for q young
lady who is very low with consumption.
Rev. Mr.. Mackenzie prayed for them and
the others on whose behalf prayers were
asked. Major Whittle preached a very
earnest discourse on Christ as a servant,
faithful and humble. A large number
were present."

New Banking scheme.

As soon as the new Mills building, at
Broad street end Exchange place, is COM
pleted, the bank will occupy one OF the
principal offices in it. D. o. Mills. the
owner, is interested in the bank, and is
represented in its management by his
nephew, Jos. G. Mills. The plan Of the
new management is to make the bank a
Wall street or Stock Exchange institution.
C. f. Timpson, for II years Cashier of the
Continental National Bank, has been most
active in the enterprise. He said recently
that the bank would not do any mercantile
or commercial business, but would limit
itself to stock brokers' accounts. He
hoped through the bank to inaugurate a
system that would largely do away with
the present system Of certification OF
brokers' checks, and eventually establish
a method Of clearing stocks which would
obviate the risks now incurred by the
banks and the brokers, and also lessen the
requirements Of stock brokers for cash
with which to turn stocks. Mr.. Timpson's
plan ia to assign the clearance of several
OF the most active stocks to banks in the
immediate neighborhood Of the Stock Ex-
change, and as they become accustomed to
the business, add other active stocks to
each, the profits OF the business to be
divided pro rata among the banks doing
the work.
A practical and successful system Of
clearing stocks has long been desired by
the members Of the Stock Exchange.
Several have been tried, but none has
proved acceptable.

The Way the Boys OF Zion Put

Them Up.
Some youngsters called at the Salt Lake
Tribune office to tell the reporter what
they thought of mean men. In their
opinion a man who went flying through
the streets with an expensive rig and
wouldn't allow boys to hitch their sleds
behind or hang on the runners, was a
mean man. That's just what everybody
thinks. Every boys heart swells at the
bare idea Of a sleigh ride, and when q boy
whose parents are poor, without q copper
in his pocket, sees a man gliding along
Main street, all wrapped up in bearskins
and broadcloth. he naturally thinks there
is room enough on the rear end OF the
unn for q boy, and he gets n Then
comes a sharp cut across his face with q
whip, and he gets off. For the next ten
years he never ceases TO think of the
amount Of solid meanness concentrated in
that man, and he thinks over II so much
that il he ever grows up and owns a sleigh
and q fast team, he will take his revenge
cutting boys across the face who try to
get a ride. He can't very well get wen
any other way. Thus mean men make
more just like 'em. Now, on the other
hand the jovial, good-natured man tells
the boys to get on and have some fun, and
all the boys he treats that way will grow
up to think that there is human nature
and good men in the world. The moral OF
this is to give the youngsters a show to
have some fun and let 'em ride all they
want to. No man with half a heart in his
body will refuse q boy a ride.

ANOTHER PLACE MADE VACANT.
Death of David Mcfarland, One of
RenO's Oldest Citizens.

menu 0nzetteb vaus zos
This morning at $3.50 O'Clock, after q
hard-fought battle with the grim monster.
David Mcfarland gave up, and death takes
him as another victim.
David Mcfarland was Of Scotch paren-
tage, a native Of Delhi, Delaware County,
New York, and As years Of age. He came
to this coast a young man of 81 in 1855.
He was engaged in teaming and mining
from that time until 1861, when he came
to Nevada and located in Washoe City, the
then metropolis OF this State, and engaged
in the hotel and saloon business. keeping
the old Lake House. Mr.. Mcfarland was
quite successful in a business way during
the flush times of "old Washoe," and
when the railroad reached Reno Dave was
among the first who heard the whistle of
the engine, having removed here from
Washoe and put up a rough board hotel
on the present Arcade Hotel site, and has
been engaged in that business ever since.
Reno fires have swept McFarland's accu-
mutations away several times, but he has
managed to " beat the game" and keep in
the business ring with his share Of public
patronage.
About q year ago he was taken with the
dropsy, and has been a great sufferer ever
since, and died leaving his homestead and
hotel, with a thrifty business, to his young
wife.
Dave Mcfarland, like all the rest OF the
human family, had his faults, but his good
| qualities much more than balanced them.
The mantle Of charity hides the weak side
OF his nature from the world, but many a
poor and needy fellow will hold up the
other side of Macs character-full of kind
deeds and c~harity-as a picture OF noble
manhood, worthy Of imitation by those
who make more ~pretensions than ever Mac
did.
On Sept. II. 1873. Mr.. Mcfarland was
married to Miss Mary A. Hollerday. They
never have had any children.
He was conscious to within q few mo-
ments Of his death, and seemed to realize
that he was about TO leave his wife forever
for he looked up into her face and said:
"Oh, dear ~ "Oh, dear p and passed into
the valley beyond. The Great Judge will
| strike the balance. and the red ink will be
| on McFarland's side Of the account. In
accordance with his expressed wish the
funeral will take place from his late resi-
dence next Thursday at 2 o'clock.

MORE MAILS.


several New Routes Being Pro.
vided for Nevada.
Mr.. Cassidy has had inserted in the
General Post Route Bill q section estab-
fishing the following additional routes for
Nevada:
From Austin to Gold Park.
From Eureka to Secret Canyon.
From Hawthorne TO Sunnyside.
From schellburn, via Aurum and Spring
Valley, to Osceola.
From Eureka, via D~uckwater, to Cur
rant Greek.
From Ward to Taylor District.
From Eureka, along the line Of the Eu-
reka & Colorado River Railroad, TO Cherry
Greek.
In a note to the SENTINEL Mr.. Cassidy
says that if other new routes in Nevada
are needed, he will promptly have them
established il the facts are brought to his
attention by the people interested. The
first Post Route bill will be reported from
the Committee early in February. Another
will be offered later in the session. 1t does
not follow that the Department will place
service on all these routes Immediately,
Dut ulObt U Luem Will D6 pTOVluou WIN
mails at once. All routes must be estab-
lished by law before permanent mail ser
vice can be ordered by the Postofice De-
partment. No special service on a route
not established by law can be ordered
while Congress is in session. This can
only be done out Of term. Hence it is i'm
portant to have all routes created that may
be needed in the near future.
In answer to some inquiries relative to
the route from Eureka, via Newark to
Cold Creek, Mr.. Cassidy requests the SEN
TINEL to call attention to the fact that
mail service has been advertised on that
route, to go into operation July l of this
year. He also informs us that he is max
ing an effort to get special service on it at
an earlier date, with good prospects Of
success.

AN G WAVE
A Cold Blast sweeps Over the East
ern states.

ern states.
Late dispatches say that an extremely
cold wave has struck the East, particularly
the New England States and the region
around the great lakes. In New England
the thermometer registered from 10 to 81
degrees below zero, and at Newport, Rhode
Island, the schools had to be adjourned on
account of the intense cold. At Savanoc
Lake, New York, on Tuesday morning, ii
was 40 degrees below zero, and at Saratoga
So. Throughout Canada the temperature
is from 16 to 3s degrees below zero. This
is unusually cold weather, aud the wave
appears to be pretty general from the At
lantic seaboard to the Mississippi Valley.
1t will probably extend westward, and ulti-
mately reach this side OF the Rockies.
Should II strike with the same rigor here as
Ii has in the East, it would do great injury
to the immense herds Of stock that roam
over our hills and valleys. Our cattlemen
have not had an evil OF this kind TO contend
with for a number Of years, and they are
perhaps totally unprepared to meet it II ii
should strike them suddenly. The various
signal stations throughout the State can
probably give timely notice OF its coming.
The recent cold wave experienced here was
two days in coming from California, and
should the Eastern blizzard move west
ward II may be expected in from five to six
days.
