Death Of Mrs. Ann SINGLES.

The subject of this sketch, Mrs. Ann
Singles, was born one-half mile south of
McClellandville, on the 26th Of Jan.
1897, and died at her home at McClel-
landville, April 18th, 1886, being in the
Goth year of her age-She was sister of
the late William McClelland and the
only remaining brother John McClelland
now residing in Newark is in the S4th
year of his age.
At the age of eighteen she married
William Singles, who died on Feb. 23d,
1886, leaving her widow with eight
children, five sons and three daughters,
all of whom she succeeded in raising,
and all of whom are still living, six of
them being present at her funeral. One
daughter residing in Maine, and one son
in Chicago being absent. She has left
living her whole family of eight child
rem, twenty-nine grand children, fifty
nine great grand children, and there has
been born to her at least one great, great
grand child, mot now living in addition
to the foregoing, eight grand children
and three great grand children have
died. A glance at the foregoing family
history reveals at least two remarkable
facts. First, that from the day of her
marriage until the day of her own death
period of more than seventy-one years
there never occurred death in her i'm
mediate family except that of her hus-
band, and that nearly fifty-one years
since. The other remarkable fact is
that out of sixty-two great grand child
rem only three have died. Surely in this
respect she has been blessed in an I'M
usual degree.
In her religious character she was
scarcely less remarkable than in her do
nestle life. From her own lips the wri-
ter learned the fact that she was not con-
scious of the time in her life when she
was not to some extent religious. And
shortly after her marriage desire to con-
meet herself with the Methodist church,
but because of objections, on the part of
her husband she refrained from doing
so until after his death, living in the
mean time in the enjoyment of religion
though not a member of the church.
The remainder of her life, more than
fifty years, was spent in the communion
of the Methodist church. In her relig-
ious life she was devout and sincere, yet
most humble and modest Christian.
The doctrines and duties of the religion
she protested were the rule of her daily
life. And that religion which had been
her chief support during the long years
of labor and toll, through she was called
to pass, became her chief comfort and
joy, in her old age, and she leaned upon
His trusty staff even to the end of life.
BY its light she lived, and in the fullness
of its hope and confidence she died
Better to smile
When such life
Gives up the battle of earnestly strife;
Better to know that her tasks are done,
Trials ended and glory won.
Tears are vain, when soul so bright,
Wings its way
To the gates of light"
Her funeral occurred on monday the 81
inst. Services and interment at Head of
Christiana Church. Services conducted
by Rev. c. W. Prettyman assisted by J..

THE GRASS QUESTION.

The question of where to secure
grass for stock is besoming an i'm
portant one in this State. The nat
ural grasses are hardly sufficient
to Winter the cattle now growing
in this State. and unless grass is
made to grow artificially it means
that the limit of cattle production
in Nevada has been reached. Last
season there was considerable talk
about the growth of filaree in this
country. In California the filaree
fields cover a large area and the
stock do better on it than anything
that can be named. 1t has splend
Id fattening qualities, will grow
without water and spreads with
great rapidity. During the last two
years ilaree has made its appear
ance in this valley and in the Sum
mer can be found on the hills about
Carson. Last Summer, farmers re-
marked its presence in placeswhere
it was never known to be before
and there will doubtless be a hun
dred times as much of it here next
Summer. The filaree seeds were
brought over the mountains in
sleeps wool. at least this is the
commonly accepted theory. Fllaree
however must be eaten as it grows
as it cannot be readily harvested.
The State should provide fund
for experimenting with different
grasses ana soils TO ascertain what
grass is best for Nevada. and what
grasses will thrive best in different
localities IN this State,
By turning the sagebrush wastes
into grass fields the cattle industry
Of Nevada can be increased a hun
dred fold. 1t is evident that grass
and water are most needed here
and the State should see how these
two very desirable acquisitions can
De furnished In the shortest posi-
bic time.

SOLDIERS SHOES.

When the troops under Captain
Lawton were chasing Geronimo and
his breeeh-clouted braves through
Arizena and Mexico, complaint was
made that the shoes furnished the
men were of inferior quality, and
that the men suffered much in con
sequence. 1t was ascertained that
the shoes were made at the shoe
factory in the military prison at
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and the
Secretary of War directed the
Board OF Commissioners OF the
Prison to investigate the charges.
The Commissioners report that they
have made thorough investiga-
ton of the matter, and find that
the best material is used IN the fac
tory and the work spanship is good
and assigns as G cause for the com
plant that the shoes worn by Law
tons command were subjected to
extraordinary wear over the rough
est country.
This report, while it may satisfy
the War Department. will not af-
forG the brave fellows who pursued
the Indians for months, much OF
the time with lacerated or bare feet,
a great deal Of consolation. They
knew they we're furnished with in
ferior foot-gear or they would not
have complained, and General Miles
would not have called the attention
of the War Department to the mat
ter. 1t might be advisable under
the circumstances to appoint com
nilsson to investigate the Prison
Commissioners and see if they can
tell good from poor leather, and do
not know more about ''white-wash-
ing than the manufacture of shoes.

ACKNOWLEDGED THE CORN

Although the Democratic party
is, and has been for years CON-
mitted to free trade, one very sell
dom finds one of its journals with
the hardihood to admit it. The
Virginia Chronicle, however, freely
says that an attack on Carlisle S
free trade theories is an attack on
the whole Democratic party. That
is exactly what the APPEAL has al-
ways thought. The Democratic
party is free trade combination
and you can't get around it.

sensible Words,

General Miles, it is stated, will take the field in person. This will inspire confidence in his troops. It is to be hoped he will not fall into Crooks error of employing Indian scents, who will be- tray him at every step of his progress against the enemy. fine must employ Indian scouts, and wants those upon whom he can rely, let him send to the Pima villages, where he will find Fimas and Maricopa Indians who have been the lifelong enemies of the Apaches.
 It will be expected of General Miles when he overtakes Geronimo and hi: warriors, that he will accept no other terms from them than unconditiona surrender, and it IS hoped that after sur render they will be handed over to tn, courts for trial.-S. F. Call.

Every Mans House His Castle,

We wish it always understood that the Courier is in favor of white labor and the discharge of the Chinaman just as fast as it can be done under our treaty and lawful obligations. But we are not in favor of raising a little hell among our own people by system of espionage and hoycotting that will be worse than the evil we are trying to eradicate. We are in favor of the right with all men, everywhere, of whatever nationality, color or religion, whether in California or elsewhere, and when we can't do this we will retire as journalists from the pub lie arena. Fellow citizens, we believe we are and have been right in fighting for our individual liberty, and the right for every man to regard his own house and premises as a castle that no man has right to enter without lawful writ, and within that castle and premises the proprietor has right to conduct his own business in his own way, and, while he does not interfere with his own neigh bors, no man has the right to interfere with or oppose him.

An Interesting Co,Ioquy.

The EPITAPH reporter overheard an interesting conversation last evening, on Allen street, near Third. The three brainv individuals, who are trying to be the leaders of the Nash League, were in earnest conversation. The grand man" said:
 "By God, sir, we cannot turn back now; why, sir, they would laugh at us and call us towards! No, sir! By God, sir! am in favor of going ahead, although know we are swamped,"
 His youthful comrade, less rash, then replied: "Well, what is the use of going further? know that my business has been ruined, and aint feeling very we'll about the ass have made of myself"
 Here the ponderous cane ofthe grand man" came down upon the sidewalk with whack: "By God, sir! You ain't fit to belong to this noble League! This, sir, is the grandest com bination of men-the greatest living show on earth--that has ever worked together on this continent! know, sir, that we are defeated and forever damned in this community, but, sir, l go down with my colors Ayingl'
 Here the greasy editor of the Boy cotter" shouted: "Why, we are the fel- lows that are ruined. All this deviltry and blackmailing is laid at our door, and I am getting desperate! Our advertisers have all left us; and now, my counselor, what shall We do?"
 "Dom shouted the grand man. "why, d-n you, SIT! Go down with the rest of us."
 A by-stander here ventured to remark that Mir. Gall didn't quite agree with the "grand man" on this subject. This was too much for the Anti-Chinese Demos themes. Splitting scornfully on the side walk, he pulled his hat over his eyes and off cursing to himself, his steps resembling the "giant strides" which the Executive Committees circular says the has made during the past veek

What The officers Say.

The removal of General Crook from the command of Arizona was not unex- pected by the officers of the Presidio, with whom Call reporter talked. A private letter written by General Miles a few days ago to one of the officers, con tained the statement that if the General was sent to Arizona he would take the field in person and not quit it until there was not one hostile left in the hills. The officers generally approved of the re- moval of Crook, saying there could be no defence from military standpoint for his course doing and subsequent 10 the recent surrender of Geronimo. .--S. F.

The voting at the Nash meetings is a farce. Most of the audience are there from curiosity and any motion can be carried, unanimously, in whatever man. ner it is put, nc one taking sufficient in- terest to care to make himself conspicu. ous by differing from the majority. Thus, if a motion is put "to expel MT. Smith," the motion will be carried un. animously. Should the motion be "no, to expel Mir. Smith" it will also be car. ried, without dissentient voice. It is on such fimsy farce as this, that the office seekers found their asserted right to coerce their neighbors.
