The editors of two or three Nc
vada newspapers are complaining
that when they state a truthful
proposition in their journals they
are not believed, and cannot under
stand why it is so. The true reason
probably is that such statements
coming from them do not seem like
original matter to readers familiar
with their usual style. Things are
no longer in Nevada as they were in
the old days of integrity and undi-
vided truth. Still, those editors
ought not to complain. If they are
only doubted when they tell the
truth, the risks they run of losing
their good names are not much bet

She Liked the Game.

A little miss of three years, who
lives under the shadows of the
church, was playing with the neigh
boris children one morning, when
the latter were called in for prayers.
She accompanied them, and when
seated in the sitting-room, she OBJ

down and helped herself from the
bookcase in the room, returned to
her chair and opened her book like
the others and endeavored to read

shut her book and waited till they

The Black Birch.

Yesterday the APPEAL received
consignment of seeds from Tom
Tenant, who IS the distributing
agent for this State for the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washing
ton.
The donation includes about
twenty varieties of fancy shade
trees, including many European
varieties, which the Department is
anxious to introduce in Nevade.
Among other trees is the black
birch. The black birch was ia
milar tree to us thirty years ago,
and we believe we can give the
Department much valuable infor-
nation regarding it.
1t grows in the vicinity of coun-
try school houses in Connecticut.
But We do not consider it a hardy
tree. We used to be sent out every
day to gather a sprig of it, and be-
fore night the teacher would want
another. He used to wear out two
a day on us, and for this reason we
think that the endorsement by the
Department that it is tough,
hardy tree was not made with
proper knowledge of the facts.
We propose to plant few acres of
it, and in few years will be ready
to supply the educational depart
ment of this State at reduced rates

Theatre Tonight.

The Boston Globe thus speaks Of
the drama which will be produced
at the Opera House this evening:
Fun in a Roller Rink" Mr.. Kru-
gers new piece, was produced and
to say that the entertainment
highly pleased the large and enthu-
siastic audience that was present is
to state the truth in a very mild
manner indeed. The new play Is a
musical comedy, and like all musi-
cal comedies, has no plot. Its main
merit lies In the exceedingly clever
way in which it satirizes the roller
skating craze. The story is that of
a young man who, without any
capital to speak of, opens a skating
rink in barn, gathers in all the
money in the town and finally mar
ries rich and pretty young heir
ess. Mr.. Kruger is excruciatingly
funny as Ronald Delaine", the
proprietor of the rink. As com
edian Mr.. Kruger is unexcelled.
His work last evening can hardly
be commended as highly as it
deserves. Fun in Roller Rink
affords him an opportunity of rem
dering some of his fine specialties.
