Nevada's GubernatorlaI Contest.
Salt Lake Democrat.

Ddtt ~ tHtO 4t.
The delegation from Storey county,
Nevada, to the Democratic State Conven-
tion is solid for Jewett W. Adams, the
present Governor. The labor organiza-
tions stood in Cor him in a body, and be
made q clean sweep at the primaries.
Storey is the largest county in the State,
sending twenty six delegates to the Con-
vention, which will be composed Of 1875
members. II was tho first county to hold
its primaries. and the moral effect is bound
to materially enhance Governor Adams
chances for the denomination to succeed
himself. His administration has been an
honest and successful one, and although
he has made q few mistakes. their number
and Importance are trivial In the aggregate,
and will furnish but little material for
successful opposition in the canvass, II he
should receive the nomination. His prin-
cipal opponent in the convention will be
Theodore Winters, q wealthy and promi-
nent ranchmsn Of Wsshoe county. He is
@ gentleman OF excellent judgment, sound
sense and unquestionable integrity, and,
moreover, q sterling Democrat. In the
| nomination of either, the Democracy Of
our neighborlng State will have a strong
candidate, and one with whom the people
can safely entrust the Executive functions
OF the government. With either at the
head Of the ticket. the Democracy OF Ne
vada, II they act unitedly and harmoni-
ously, can and-will make a clean sweep in
the State.

conflicting Reports as to the Out

has been said in newspapers Of late

cured to the ton is like all other statistics
connected with this bonanza" hard to

from the ~supersbundant and conflicting
statistics which are presented from innu-
merable sides. From one Of the gentle

Of all, l ascertained that the quartz usu-
ally runs q little over SIS to the ton,
but had been running a little less than

about $50, 900, with an expense of about
two-thirds that. 1t should be said on the

New york.. Fir. Finy Year. Ago.

The population of the city at that time
was 20. 900. and the increase since then
has been six-fuld. Hence the destruc-
ton Of 1900 buildings at the present
time would be no greater loss relatively
speakingl than the fire of 1926 was to
the city then. One reason of the great
destruction was the extreme severity of
nights of the season. and this. of course,
impaired the operations of the firemen.
Added to this was a high wind. which
gave the flames am almost irresistible
impetus. The result was blazing ex-
panse. which covered thirteen acres. and
would have reached a far greater extent
had il not been for the extensive area
created by blasting. This was last re-
sort. and was successfully performed by
a detachment of United States troops
sent from the navy-yard.
The effect of the great fire was wide

richest merchants were reduced to utter

companies were ruined, except tho
Chatham and Etna Of Hartford. The
next day public meeting was held in
the city hall, with the mayor in the
chair. and a subscription WAS opened for
the sufferers. The damage. however
was too great for any such effort, and the
humiliation of such n vast amount of
capital was felt in the pressure, which
afterward became as famous as the fire
itself. The pressure of 1885, indeed, was
the most protracted this city has ever
witnessed. aud il was seven years before
the return Of prosperity.-New York

Brazirs Cofiee-Growing Industry.

Coffee is the principal produce of
Brazil. growing in the mountain country
being better as the hills are sleeper. an d
amounting to 4.OOO,00O bags annually
Coffee-growing is AN interesting in
dustry. The seed is first sown. and
when the bush is about two feet high it
is transplanted in rows about four feet
apart. In four years the bush bears
fruit. and thereafter for forty years. the
tree being in full vigor from its tenth
year until il decays at forty.
The labor is done 10y slaves. many
planters owning hundreds Of them.
After the fruit is gathered ii is thrown
into large, open yards, paved with rock
and stone. and ON grade sufficient TO
run the water. away. After some days
exposure to the sun. the berries being
dry, they are put in the crusher to
separate the coffee from the husk.
The coffee is then passed through
large and small sleeves, one under
the other. with "a large fan at the
back of them. by which means the cof-
fee is relieved of the husks and graded
according to the size Of the grain. The
best is sent to the burnisher. which gives
il an additional market value. and to OBJ
tain still fancier quality, though this in
reality is only question of the eye. the
grain is placed in tank half full of a de-
coction of green coffee beans and water.
After remaining there several days this
dyed grain is dried and Furnished and
sold as extra fancy. though il is really no
better than the other as far rs the quality
or taste is concerned. This work is all
done 10y appliances on the plantations,
and was told very recently that several
planters have rs much as S250,00O in
vested in machinery of all kinds. This
system Of getting the coffee ready for the
market Is of course only employed by
the wealthy planters. There are many
who are still very backward and retain

yariou. Changes In Irish Names.

In the days of that unattractive Stuart,
James i, an act was passed forbidding
the use Of all but few Of the old Gaelic
surnames. which act was partially en-.
forced. The Mac and the o. were the
first and most easily dropped. While the
septs or tribes still existed all the menu
beers of the sept We're. in theory at least,
descendants of common ancestor,
whose name. with the o. or the Mac pre-
fixed. designated the sept. The o, an.
GENTLY written nj. means u male de-
scendant" generally, while Mac means
"a son." But it is only in England that
either of these is pretixed to the name
borne by a woman, in the Gaelic the
prefix Nj, meaning "a daughter" being
used.
An illustration may prove interesting
as showing how the changes in Irish
names have been brought about. The
word maol. or mael primarily means
bald" and hence was used by the
ancient monks on account of their
tonsure. To shave the hair from the
head was understood To symbolic the
complete dedication of ones self 10 re-
ligious service; and hence maol as pre-
fix came to mean disciple" or "imitalor"
of some religious teacher of saint. So
we have Maol Colin (llalcolm). "a dis
ciple of st. Colm." the founder Of Iona;
Maol Isa on, gy), "a disciple Of jesus"
Maol Mhuire MALLORY. "a disciple of
Mary" Malone, Maloney. and Muldoon
are names formed in this way.
The colors are displayed in the sur
names of most nations. Among the
Irish they originated. not more than two
centuries ago, in the nicknames of the
common clansmen. As samples there are

means "white;" Duff (dubh), black"

Young men in Nashville used to have
a strange idea of fun. About twenty
years ago during cold spell, they
organized society with fun as its
avowed object. The fun consisted in
raising money and distributing it among
the poor people Of the city and county.
In the course of one winter they raised
and gave away $1,000. The young men
who were engaged in this frolic are now
gray headed, but they maintain that
they never in their lives enjoyed them
selves as much as they did during that
memorable winter. A few such practical
