How Circus Lemonade is Made.

Signalling that it was all right
the circus man lifted up the flap of
the tent for the reporter to enter,
and quickly followed him inside.
"This," he said. isis where al the

glancing at his watch, elf you will

In the center Of the tent stood q
large box, and on one eide two
huge barrel,shaped tanks each with
spigote was placed on strong rests
somewhat similar to a saw horse.
In short time three men entered.
and one of them proceeded to un.
lock the box, the sides Of which at
once fell apart, disclosing a very
compact and solid-lo king engine, the
steam for it was conducted through
a. pipe leading to one of the golfers
in the cooking tent, wEile the other
two brought large tub, which they
laid on the ground and nearly filed
with filtered water drs Wn from one
Of the tanks. A steel lemon-sq 1eezer
was then attached to two iron arms
of the engine, and a very worn and
dilapitated- looking half of a lemon

dually these doleful sounds ceased,

"rhat'H DO; take it OUT" said the
engineer, shutting off steam, and
the dripping squeezsr was with.
drawn from the tub, the unhappy
half lemon being carefully
dried in a clean cloth and placed
in a small iron safe which
was then locked. The liquid in the
tub was then stirrt d .igorously with
an hermitically sealed glass bulb
fastened to the end of stick, the

sugar. The man who stirred the
mixture stopped at Intervals to
taste it, and af er remsking "There,
I guess itis sweet enough, let's get
it out, Bill" with the help OF his
companion carried the tub away.
"This machine is the only one in

as he patted the engine in loving

RENO BANK CASE.

An Important DecisiOn-NO Pre-.
ferred Creditors Allowed.
An opinion has been filed in the Su-
preme Court, affirming the order grant
ing a new trial in the case of McKelvey
vs.. Crockett. The case was brought in
the District Court Of Washoe against
Crockett, as one of the stockholders
Of the bank, to recover SIS, 900. 1t was
alleged that Crockett owed the bank on his
unpaid subscription to its stock. The
bank was not made a party, and no judg-
ment had been recovered against it; neither
had the bank made any call or assessment
on its stockholders. Judge King held that
plaintiff was entitled to recover, but a new
trial was granted by Judge Rising. The
Supreme Court holds that no action at
law can be maintained against the
stockholders, until q call or assess
ment has been made by the COR
poration. Unless this is done,
the creditor must proceed in equity for the
benefit of himself and other creditors who
may choose to participate. In other
words, the law seems to be that the indebt-
edness ofIstockholders to an insolvent cor
poration OF account of their unpaid SUBJ
scriptions, constitutes a trust, founded for
the security of all the creditors, M that
one creditor is not entitled to apply the
whole, or any portion Of such indebted
ness in satisfaction Iof his individual
claim to the exclusion Of the other credit

When a citizen of Eureka feels mad at
himself or the world, and wants to throw
off little superfluous bile, he goes before
the Board of County Commissioners and
curses the members. At Least we should
infer that such is the case from the re-
ports in the papers over there.-Tuscarora
Times Review.
1t has to be acknowledged that this is
pretty nearly true. II has become fashion
able among those who lack other means Of
diversion to spend their elegant leisure
abusing our County Commissioners,
whether with cause or without. Notwith-
standing this, we can affirm that the
affairs Of Eureka county, at the present
time, are being managed, as far as the
Commissioners are concerned, economi-
cally and to the satisfaction of those On
whom the burden of the government falls
the taxpayers. That the Commissioners
of this county, in the pa Rave been ex-
travagant and wasteful. snd possibly dis

The Mussel slough Troubles.

The Mussel Slough settlers about a
month ago appointed Thomas Fowler,
d. V. Robinson and Richard Chatteu to
confer with the Central Pacific Railroad
Company and arrive at some settlement Of
the difficulty concerning the ownership Of
lands in Tulare county. Mr.. Fowler, the
Chairman of the commi ttee, went to San
Francisco, and for the past three weeks
has been in communication with the Direc-
tors of the Southern Pacific. The situa-
ton was thoroughly discussed from
all standpoints, and on Wednesday
afternoon the Board OF Direc-
tors of the Southern Pacific Rail
road held a meeting and decided to
leave the whole matter to Messrs. @. F.
Croker, P. d. Wiggington and Thomas
Fowler, with the understanding that their
action should finally settle the question.
Mr.. Croker is now in Denver, and upon
his return the long continued struggle be-
tween the railroad and the settlers will
probably be ended. 1t is generally under
stood that the basis of compromise will
be the regarding of the land of Mussel
Slough, which the settlers claimed was not
fairly graded originally, some Of which is
almost worthless, by reason Of the alkali
in it having been graded as high as that
which was most fertile and productive.

Canned Food.

1t is a singular fact hat we are indebted
to Pompeii for the great industry of can
ming, says the Toledo Blade. Years ago,
when the excavations were just beginning,
a party of Cincinnatians found in what
had been the pantry of a house. many jars
of preserved figs. One was opened and
they we're found to be fresh and good. In
vestigation showed that the figs had been
put into the jar in a heated state, an
aperture left for the steam to escape and
then sealed with wax. The hint was taken,
and the next year canning fruit was intro
duced in the United States, the process
being identical with that in vogue in Pom
peii 20 centuries CO.. The old ladies in
America who can tomatoes and peaches do
not realize that they are indebted for this
art to a people who were literally ashes
but q few years after Christ. There ie
nothing new under the sun. Canned
tomatoes and loaded dice-the people OF
Pompeii had both.

Keene's Richard.

In q recent criticism the New York Sun
says: Mr.. Keene's Richard is fairly worth
seeing. In movement and facial express
sion he is an ideal Richard. His voice is
good, and his enunciation clear and dis
tinct. without the thrilling Of the r and
other mannerisms that so often offend the
American ear. The accentuation is crude.
1t does not show the study that character
ICES the accentuation of Booth. Keene's
Richard, however, is an original Richard.
He copies no one. His walk, his grimaces,
his makeup and his death scene are pecu-
liarly his own. He fights Richmond with
a ferocity that would have lifted the roof
of the Old Bowery. To the careful OBJ
server, however, he is always Keene the
actor, and not Richard. His acting lacks
tone and heart.

A Cold Story Writton on the Face
AT fha Tharruornafor

A Cold Story Writfon on the Fac
OF the Thermometer.
There are times when it is admissible to
talk of the weather, and this is n Of
those times. Yesterday was probably the
coolest day known in Eureka for q long
time, certainly, at any rate. the coolest day
of this Winter. From 9 O'Clock Monday
evening, when the mercury stood at three
degrees below zero, the temperature mod
Grated until midnight, at which hour the
mercury balanced at zero. From that
time on it got colder again. AS we have
no record Of the temperature after mid
night, we cannot state what 1t was from
that hour until daylight. At s O'Clock
Tuesday morning the thermometer at Mr..
Hoadley's residence registered ten degrees
below zero, while at DR.. Schneider's resi-
dence, an hour later, the mercury had
risen only n degree. 1t is usual in this
latitude for the greatest degree of cold TO
be reached between 8 and 5 o'clock A. M,
so that it is fair to presume that it was
much colder then than when the record
was taken as given above. Yesterday, un-
til 2 O'Clock, which is the hour of maxi
mum heat in these parts, the mercury rose
about five degrees above zero, and then be-
gan to recede. 1t went down rapidly,
and at 8 O'Clock in the evening stood ut
nine degrees below zero, according to the
SENTINEL's barometer, which hangs
against the brick wall, within the re-
cess of the threshold, just outside
the front door of the editorial rooms.
Up to IL o'clock the temperature con-
tinued about the same, the mercury show
ing rather a slight disposition TO expand
and get up a little above the level it occu-
pied at IL O'Clock.
We find, upon referring to our record of
last year, that we shall have to modify the
statement contained in the first part of
this article. On the evening of the 10th of
January, 1888, at 8 O'Clock, the mercury
stood at 10 degrees below zero, and by
midnight had receded to 16 below.

Chntern Hundreds.

This expression, which occurs in our
foreign dispatches this morning, will pos
sibly be a new phrase and seem odd
enough to those who may see it in print
for the first time. 1t involves one OF the
numerous fictions OF old English law, and
denotes an office which has no existence
except in name. A member Of Parlia-
ment cannot resign his seat, but he may
do what is equivalent to it, and results in
the same thing, by applying for the Chill
tern Hundreds, a nominal stewardship
attached to the Grown in Buckingham
shire and Oxfordshire. So that when
Bradlaugh applied for the Chiltern Hun
dreds, he. in effect, gave up his seat in the
House Of Commons; or, as We would say
IN our politics, he was forced to walk the
plank.

as valuable for working as the original ore,
with this pertinent remark:
In the anxiety to make a good showing,

prevailed to a degree that would not have
been tolerated in any line Of trade or

A View.

One gentleman present at tho meeting
OF the Storey County Commissioners says
the Virginia Chronicle, expressed his opin-
ion that inside OF eight months (unless
the low grade ore stated to exist in the
mines be worked while deep sinking is in
progressl only one hosting works, the
Union, will be running at the north end
- the balance, with the possible exception
Of the Bonner shaft, being worked through
that shaft. The mining companies will
then refuse to pay taxes on the idle hoist
ing works and tell the county to take them
for taxes. Last years tax roll shows that
the Union works were assessed at $1,000
at five per cent, and the yellow Jacket at
$50, 900, though the latter was idle at the
time. The Board, however, did not coin
eide with this pessimistic view of the future.

AN OLD sOLDIER's OPINION.
What He and His Comrades Think
OF Fitz.John Porter n Nc.
DOwell.

What He and His Comrades Think
OF Fisz.John Porter n Me.
DOwell.
A SENTINEL reporter listened last night
to q review OF the charges against Fitz-
John Porter by an old Union soldier, who
was q member OF the Eleventh Corps,
which bore the brunt of the battle, and
was fearfully cut up. He is familiar with
the whole neighborhood in which the des-
perate fight occurred. and he gives q
graphic description Of the battle of the
18th, in which his corps suffered 30 Sc
verely. With this experience as q re-
minder, he very naturally SCOTS at the
opinion expressed by General Grant
that on that day no battle was fought.
Our veteran friend feels intensely bitter
against Porter, and not less so
against Mcdowell, whom he blames
equally. He thinks that the death Of
many Union soldiers rests upon those two
Generals who, he alleges, kept out of the
fight deliberately, preferring to see their
army defeated and their companions in
arms perish rather than act under the
orders of Pope, whom they disliked. If
such are the facts Of the case, we can
readily appreciate the sentiment of the
soldier with whom our reporter conversed,
which made him characterize the effort of
Congress to vindicate Porter as q
West Point whitewashing job, and an out
rage upon every man who fought in the
army OF Northern Virginia; nor could the
representative Of this paper fail to be
moved by the earnestness and heat OF the
old aofdier whan recalling those bitter
"reminiscences, he exclaimed: 81 hope
that Arthur, if he signs the bill to rein
state Porter. will be paralyzed in the act"

The Reno Gazette says: The snow sheds
are rarely beautiful now-suffcient snow
has sifted through the cracks to cover the
track several feet. The plows have showed
it down and packed it down into a solid
white pavement, with only the streaks of
steel to afford contrast. The sides of the
sheds are banked up on the outside, and
through the tracks the sunlight is strained
through snow enough to color it an ex-
quisite blue, too delicate and transparent
for imitation. 1t is exactly the shade
seen in the water of Lake Tahoe as it is
thrown back from the prov of a steamer.
