PURCHASE IN CARSON.
An ether EAert sermsn on Bust
ness.

Yesterday nearly every lady
in Carson received a circular
from the Pacific Coast Purchas-
ing Agency, which agrees to
purchase for residents ofthis city
everything that can he named
in the line of ladies' goods, fancy
articles, etc. At first blush this
looks like a good investment,
and from a certain standpoint it
is. From time to time the APP
PEAL has pointed out the fallacy
of sending money out of Carson
to purchase goods which can be
bought right here. But it is
pretty hard to get business ideas
into peoples heads, women's
especially. Now let US Illus
trate the matter: Mrs. A.,
whose husband keeps a grocery
store, sends $3.50 a year abroad
to purchase finery, and saves,
say s25 by so doing instead of
purchasing of Mrs. b., who
keeps a millinery establishment.
Mrs. B. ascertains this and stops
purchasing groceries of Mrs.
AS husband. At the end of
the years Mrs. A. has saved $25
by purchasing of San Francisco
houses and her husband is out
500 through the loss of Mrs.
BIS custom. Total loss to the
family SIS. But this is not all,
a number of other people whom
Mrs. A. does not patronize,
learning of her liking for i'm
ported articles, also began to i'm
port, and before he knows it he !
is 1000 out through his wife's
hurry to save a paltry $25. |
Once started, every family seeks |
to keep trade from the other. as
in town so small as Carson a
woman cannot send abroad for a
dollars worth of goods, but that
all her neighbors know it inside
of a week. Men send to Sacra-
mento for job work to save a
dollar, and then curse the news
papers for not being better.
Thousands of dollars go to Stern
Bros. New York, ..because they
sell SO cheap" All this money
goes out of town, times are
hard and the husbands of the
Stern Bros. patrons find it hard
TO collect bills. Now if all the
which is sent to New
York in a year from Carson
were spent in town, bill collect
ing would not be so hard. Let
every short sighted person who
makes it a practice to earn
money in Carson and spend it
else, change the pro-
,ramme with the new year. or
sooner, and in six months there
will he a great change in the
business prosperity Of this city.

IMPENDING WAR.

The Pfutes and Wash0es to FfGh
The rumors of war between
the Piutes and the Washoes aP-
pear to have some foundation
Yesterday a Washoe lndiar
outlined the trouble to the AP-
| PEAL as follows: For the past
twenty years there has been a
feud between the two tribes.
and the Piutes, being in the
ascendency, have not allowed
the Vashoes to ride ponies.
! Whenever a Washoe was caught
with a pony between lis legs
he was pulled off and beaten,
while his pony was taken by the
soulIess Piute. During the life OF
Winnemucca he was looked
upon as supernatural being by
the Washoes, who believed that
if he went into battle lie would
strike his enemies dead with
lightning and other destroying
agents of the clouds. Since his
death the Washoes have taken
fresh hope, as they consider his
son NatcheZ only an ordinary
mortal. They will challenge the
Piutes to mortal combat, invit-
ing them to come out in some
place away from every town
and settle the issues. The
Washoes say that they can mus
ter 1000 fighting men and are
anxious for the row.
Last Hours of ThurlOw Weed.
Thurlow Weed, the nestor of
American journalism, died full
Of years and honors with his
harness on in New York. He
passed away surrounded by his
friends of the press. The
chimes of old Trinity reverberat-
ed up Wall street at 6 O'Clock,
and as the last echoes died away
a New York San reporter, clad
in a rubber suit, slid down the
chimney and brushing away the
family, seated himself at the
old mans bedside. Mr.. Weed
greeted him warmly. A mo-
ment later the Herald man
entered the dormer window by
a fire ladder and hastily smash
ing a cuspadore over the head
of the attending physician,
asked Mr.. Weed if it would be
safe to publish his biography in
the morning.
CHOW long has it been in
type ?" asked the dying man.
"Ever since '63; been ex-
pecting you to go off at any
you know"
"Set it up in some fresh |
type" was the reply, 'that old
Sheriff sale, wide face nonpareil
OF Rounds & Co.'s is trifle an
tiquated."
The reporter promised to COM
ply with the request, and just |
as the Times, Tribune and |
Weekly men came
laundering on the bed through
the skylight, the spirit of the
great journalist passed away.
He died as he had lived, in the
midst of the busy and exciting
scenes of live metropolitan jour
nalism, and his niche is vacant
still.

and flushed face is sometimes attendant, often
mistaken for consumption; the patient complains
of WEAKNESS and debility; nervous, easily startled:
feet cold or burning, sometimes prickly sensation
of the skin exists; spirits are low and respondent,
and, although satisfied that exercise would be bene
fetal, yet one can hardly summon up fortitude to
try it in fact distrusts every remedy Several
of the above symptoms attend the disease but
have occurred when but few of them existed, yet
examination after death has shown the Liver to
have been extensively deranged.
1t should be used by all persons, old and

HOlIEWARD.

Returning in the autumn tide
From summer wanderings far and wide
The pleasure and the past
Weary and worn, we came at last
To the bright river on whose shore
We saw our own dear home once more.
The tender smile of dying day
Der all the quiet landscape lay;
The distant hills were crowned with gold
The woodlands wondrous to behold;
The wales were like enchanted ground
Where fairy feet have danced their round:
And, cleaning here and glanoing there,
The blue, bright river lay so fair
So calm in its untroubled rest
Full many landscape softly bright
Full many a scene to wake delight.
1t still had been our happy fate
In distant lands to contemplate;
But now this long familiar view
Awoke gladness strangely new,
And oft our lips these words let fall:
"This is the loveliest scene ofallp p
Whilst happy tears bedewed our eyes,
And pleasure voiced itself in sighs,
A deep and measareless content
With every soft emotion blent;
And thus we whispered, "When at last
The journey of our lives is past,
May we, dear Lord, to thy far home,
As now, like happy pilgrims, come,
Weary, perchance, but calmly blest
By promise sweet of peace and rest"

his passion, wherefore she besought
her Majesty to consent to their union.
The imperial reply was an immedi-
ate order to the petitioner to retire to
her family at Darmstdat, and to the
prince to join his squadron on the
Baltic. But the august masters Of
Russia had not calculated upon the
strength of true love. Mademoiselle
got away from her parents, or more
probably helped by them to make the
journey, took passage on Cunard
steamer, and joined the man Of her
choice in America, where they were
privately married. You remember
the visit of the Grand Duke to the
United States, Of course, but neither
you nor anyone else had an idea that
he was there on sort Of wedding
tour. / am assured though that the
facts are as stated, but fancy that
there is a chronological error, and
that the episode is Of much more
recent date. However this may be,
the pair were Joined in holy wedlock,
and the reception Of their marriage
certificate raised terrible commoticn
on the banks Of the Neva. Disgraces
and vicissitudes of all kinds followed
the exploit. Alexis was threatened
and csioled to break off "the disgrace
ful connection" but he held out
bravely, and as the Cars own affair
with the Princess Dolgorouki came
in the nick of time to incline the pa
ternal heart of indulgence, Alexander
III finally agreed to shut his eyes to
his sons situation, although sternly
refusing TO recognize the legitimacy
Of the marriage. Like the people in
the fairy tale, Alexis and his bride
we're very happy, and now at the
solicitation Of the Czarina, who ap-
preciates the beauties Of ? united
household, Alexander III, proposes to
give the marriage his official saHc-
ton.
