A Good Act.

The Walker Lake Bulletin Of the 14th

procured the passage of a bill, by the
House OF Representatives, which permits
p~rospeciors TO enter Indian reservations,

qaire a valid title to the property. This
bill will, doubtless, pass the Senate, and

ment for many thousands Of our under
ground toilers.
should nothing else be done, this bill,
il Ii becomes q law. will remove the
restrictions preventing miners from
developing the mineral deposits, which
now lie neglected in the two mount
ain ranges which fringe the Walker
River Reservation. There is more to be
considered, however, in connection with
this reservation than merely the mines
within its limits. There is no necessity
for its retention. as the Piutes for whose
use il ia set apart have practically aban-
doned II; they live almost entirely in and
around the mining camps and settlements
OF the white people. There they get their
food aud clothes, partly by work and
partly by begging and stealing. There

whisky with inscriptions white men, In
which traffic they usually get the worst OF
the bargain and the worst of whisky.

Wright Leroy Hanged Yesterday nj
SacramentO-He. Asks for n Res.
pite, but ~ Refased-COnverted tO
k"man Catholicism, He Dies I'm
That Faith.
aSAcRAMEsTo, Jan. 16.-Wright Leroy,
who s~trangled Nicholas Skerrett, an aged
capitalist on Aug. 13, 1853, was hanged to-
day at 1871. Last night Leroy telegraphed
Gov. Stoneman, asking to be respited a
few days longer, as he had learned OF q wit
ness who could prove that he was innocent
OF the crime. To this the Governor re.
piled: 81 cannot and shall not interfere
in your case. May God have mercy on
your soul. Signed,
GEORGE SToNEMAs."
Leroy was greatly depressed when he re-
ceived this answer, but rallied after q short
time. he then determined Il make one
further effort for his life with the Gov
efnor, and shortly after midnight he wrote
the following dispatch, which was for
Harded this morning: Il implore you,
as Chief Executive, to avert the committal
OF a Judicial murder. Ny letter alludes to
8 witness lately returned here. l can
prove by him a clear alibi, showing that /
could not have killed Skerrett on the 18th
OF August, 1888. / reiterate my entire in
nocence. May God give you firmness to
grant me a respite Of but five days to prove
an alibi. The witness Ia q credible man.
Do not turn q deaf ear to this, my dying
appeal. WRIGHT LEROY"
He slept we'll during the night, and par
took Of a good breakfast, and persistently
refused stimulants. Father Connolly was
with him all the morning, and baptized
and converted him to the Roman Catholic
faith. Deputy Marion Wilson was the
only person on guard during the morning.
At 1920 Deputy Jere Driscoll entered the
cell and read the death warrant, to which
Leroy listened attentively and without re-
mark. Sheriff Hopkins entered the cell
while the warrant was being read. At
1880 word was given for silence and hats
of. The cell door was opened, and Le-
roy, supported by q priest, preceded by
the Sheriff, emerged therefrom. He fall
tered while mounting the scaffold steps,
aud had TO be assisted. A short prayer
was made, when Leroy was placed on the
trap. He trembled fearfully while being
strapped. The signal was given, the
thread cut, and the drop fell. His neck
WAS broken in the fall, and he died in II
minutes. he willed his body and effects
10 Father Connolly. About 600 persons
witnessed the execution.

The C0mstock.

There are quite a number in Eureka who
still have a great deal of faith in the Com
stock lode. Most OF them give reasons for
their continued confidence, which are, in
certain cases, good, Some have their con.
fidence fully equalled by the amount OF
stocks they yet carry. The unanimous
opinion here is and has been for a long
time past, that what Of value is found will
be a. 4 depth not greater than 1900 feet.

made. will be above the 1,200 level, and
towards the north end. II is also believed
and feared, though, that the bonanza firm
and others there interested largely In the
mines are determined to accomplish GER
tain ends before Virginia will again enjoy
good times.

The moonshiners, or Parnerl, or both. have
frightened the Austrian Empress from Irish
soil, it is said. and she will henceforth hunt
nearer home. In the forests at Schoenbrunn
she has had a splendid hunting palace built. that
is described as a marvel of luxurious decoration.
Its architecture is that of the modern renaissance
period. Steps of white Italian marble lead to
which the best painters of the empire have Law
ished their art. Makart planned the bedroom
frescoing. The turn room, " the Empress's gym
nasium, is done in Pompeiian style, and the
vaulted riding school, about which the extensive
stables cluster, in white, with plate glass mirrors
extending from floor TO ceiling, and loun ges up
holstered in red velvet. Until the palace at
Schoenbrunn is completed, the Empress will
hunt in the imperial forests at Radmer. Despite
her years-Elizabeth Of Austria is nearly fifty
she is as active a tourist as ever, and makes ex-
c~ursions on foot through the country, in company
with the young Archduchess Valeria, that are
the marvel and despair Of her court.

METROPOLITAN BRIC-A-BRAC.

New York Mail a nd Express.
Rhine stones are now studded in Jet and ebony
fan sticks. These fans are most to be admired
under strong flood of gaslight.
Fashionable parlors now represent every kind
or furniture. and seldom are two chairs, sofas or
tables alike in pattern or style.
Brocaded stuffs, only 800 and $50 a yard, are
shown TOR dress fronts. Ladies have to make a
little OF this stuff go a great way.
Fobs now worn by the ladies are not attached
to anything in particular, but 'iust stuck in any
where for effect and style, you know"
Fans of ostrich feathers, from which stand up
cocks faeathers, and having amber handles, are
exhibited as something entirely new"
Modern card-cases for feminine use are about
the size of a gentleman's memorandum book,
and alligator is the most fashionable material.
Old wine in new bottles is suggested by the
new wraps and mantles made of sealskin-a
material that holds it's own with great tenacity.
The average Social note of the period. sat
urated with sachet and sealed with perfumed
wax. is redolent enough to be a fashionable dis
infectant.
Something new in Swiss china: entire dinner
sets decorated with scenes in Switzerland with
which Americans who have been abroad are
supposed to be familiar.
That New Workers still have money left to buy
new carriages is shown by the several new styles
OF vehicles seen on the avenue and in the park
these autumn afternoons.
Something else to dangle from the belt is the
tiny change pocket-book, made of leather, in the
shape of a watch, and depending from the waist
by a strip of leather or ribbon.
From the way some girls of the period walk,
holding their arms like t~riangles, it is to be in
ferred that, to make assurance doublv sure, they
have been vaccinated on both arms.
Fashionable extravaganza, if not nonsense,
has gone to the extent of plush window shades,
which are now to be seen in several Murray Hill
mansions, obviously to be admired.
Like mistress, like maid, is suggested by
thu @tgantlv-embroidered and lacetrimmed
ap,-ns worn by Marie, who is supposed to look
after milady's children in the park.
Peddling of punches of autumn leaves is now
as much of a business and industry on the fash
lonable thoroughfares as the selling of flowers,
most of which are mine days Old"
Pretty book-shaped tablets. carried by the

A FEW FASHIONS.

English tailor made suits have panels and
bindings of fur.
A bias fold of white corduroy is the latest
novelty worn inside the neck, and sleeves Of
winter dresses.
High collars with stiff lining are seen on all
woollen costumes. Linen collars or folds are
worn with them.
Short seal plush Jackets are trimmed with
tufts of the material, and cloaks of it have ball
fringe of the real seal fur.
Tan-colored Suede gloves remain in style for
wearing with any dress, but grey and pearl
color will be more worn than they have been for
many seasons.
Rosary beads of red or light brown are strung
on the jet pendants that trim the fronts of jet
ted dog-collars. Plomb and jet beads are mingled
in other collars.
Velvet ribbon tied in a small bow on the left
side or in front is worn around the neck above
linen collars: the color may be in contrast with
the dress or to correspond with it.
The bang across the nape of the neck is out of
fashion, but the back hair is still crimped be
fore it is carried up to the crown of the head
and coiled there. Low catogan loops on the
nape of the neck are worn by ladies who have
just returned from Paris.
Short visiting costumes, with a mantle and
bonnet to match, will be more used than trained
dresses at church weddings and day receptions.
Velvet is the dressy fabric for these, but cloth
and velvet combinations and the tailor gown en-
tirely of cloth will be the most generally worn.
Immense ruches pleated up exceedingly full
are revived for finishing the bottom of dress
skirts. These are made Of fringed silk in one
color, or of several shades, for evening toilets.
and of the dress material lined with a contrast
ing color for handsome visiting and dinner
dresses.
A reaction is setting in in respect of making
bonnets as plain as possible. Many shapes are
covered smoothly. and not a vestige of trimming
is allowed. The result is somewhat Quakerlsh,
but there is Il style of it's own in this simplicity,
and certainly anything is in better taste than
those towering and overturned edifices which
have been dignified by the name of bonnet.
Sometimes the edges of the primitiv We looking
Quaker bonnets are bordered with rosary
beads. These garnitures are very light in
weight. which is a decided advantage over the
heavy decorations of jet and other fancy beads.
Irish cloaks" are revived. They are a perfect
copy, in shape, of the cloaks of the Irish peasant
women. They are gathered about the throat
and have a round hood. They are made of cloth
or serge and are lined with contrasting satin,
green cloth lined with bronze, or fawn-colored
satin. or blue serge. or cloth lined with red satin
or silk. 1t is said that they will be made of
plush for opera cloaks in evening colors lined
with satin of contrasting color. Short women
should not wear them as they cause little persons
to look dumpy. Only the ''divinely tall' may
affect them. For carriage wraps they are ex-
ceedingly comfortable. The peasants cloaks are
often of calico, warmly lined, with throatband of
velvet.
