One of the largest audiences ever seen
at an Elko ball assembled at Freeman

about fifty Indies and gentlemen masked,
and some of the characters were both

tanned by those who assumed them.

perfection by Edgar Reinhsrt, from q
Republican standpoint. aud needed only

aoter complete. Mrs. Lynn rs "Folly"
attracted universal admiration; Mrs.

knitting, was prominent feature,
while 'Thos. Van Dreilen and James
Stauts as the "Bslles Of Elko" were i'm
mense in every sense OF the word.

one who deserves it, and suffice it to
say that all did themselves credit in the

Scheme of the Brokers.

"Have you heard of the latest scheme oe some of the Wall street brokers" was the query put to reporter by Western Union operator. 'They are devoting their spare moments to learning teleg- raphy. A few days ago the regular oper- ator in New street brokers office was absent, and I was sent for to take his place for the day. I noticed an extra set of instruments in the office, and supposed that some of the office boys or clerks were learning to manipulate the key. I was somewhat surprised during the day to see a member of the firm como in and con- mence practieing the Morse characters. l learned that he was paying his operator extra to remain after business hours and practice with him. Upon quietly investi- gating the matter, l ascertained that sev- eral other brokers were assiduously strug. glng with the Morse alphabet, with vary ing success. One broker, who started out with the expectation of becoming suffi- ciently expert within six weeks to read messages coming over the wire at ordinary speed became somewhat discouraged when, at the end of that time, he found it impossible to catch even the small words. Their idea is that if they can be- come expert enough to read messages passing over the wires it would be an easy matter for them to drop into other brokers offices and, by listening to the click of the telegraph instruments, per haps gain some valuable information.''- New York Evening Sun,
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-03-16
Different Phases of ..Mind Cure. ,.

Now that all forms of mental healins are much talked of and largely adopted, it might be we'll for the public to know that the disciples of the different schools resent the common practice of outsiders bulking them all under the head of 'mind cure." Mind enters into each one, to be sure, but in different forms and through different doors. They who practice Christian science" draw healing force from the Infinite Mind, and consider their own minds as at most mere telegraph line through which the vivifying power reaches the patients mind. Plain ''mind cure" works by the operation of the heal CTS individual mind on the subject, ard partakes of what is known as mesmerism or hypnotism. "Faith cure" and "prayer cure" are one and the same, both relying upon faith to override disease.
 If any one doubts that the healing of disease by mental methods is going on briskIy in this city, let him drop into the offices of some of the best known practi- tioners and see the collection of patients waiting hour after hour in order that each may get Q treatment. Nine o'clock is the hour for beginning the business oi healing. An hour before that six and eight patients are in readiness to get their slice of life and health as drawn from the infinite source of all life and wholeness From that time on until the office closes at night it is never empty, and most oi these reach a point when they declare themselves healed.-New York Press ''Every Day Talk.''

No Such Thing as Vase.

The complete ensure of the word "waste" from the dictionaries, at all events in so far as it has any relation to industrial products, is, if not quite an accomplished fact, undoubtedly becoming more and more imminent: and we may thank the chemists of this generation for teaching us how to recover and utilize in numerable substances which. in their ig- norance, our grandfathers threw away Thirty years ago the manufacturers o1 iron, gas and chemicals, everywhere neg 1ected all but the prime objects of theil industries, whereas today, on the system of taking care of the pennies and allow ing the pounds to take care of them selves, competition has induced us to re- gard our legionary by-products as so many integral parts or branches of each enterprise. If the intelligent men who have 'gone before," and who were looked upon by their contemporaries as wise in their generation, could by any chance re appear among us, we might conduct them to our gas works, and with 8 certain pride explain the origin of our sulpbate of ann monia, our aniline dyes, and our hundred other extracts from coal tar.
 From the contemplation of gas we would turn with them to some of oul srnelters' and furnaces, and point to the mineral wool, the cement, the glassware, the pottery, the fire bricks and the fertil- izer, all derived from our furnace slag; and finally, entering 8 great chemical works, we should show them how the once devastating gases, so fatal to life and vegetation, are no longer sent free into the air, but are condensed and trans formed into staple articles of trade, and how by an ingenious and, to them, un- dreamed Of process we extract the precious metals from our exhausted sul- phur ores. To their wondering question, 'How can these things be2'' we might re- ply that all these marvels result from 8 modern and enlightened policy, which, in many countries, has fostered every species of research in every branch of science, en- couraged great minds to ponder over and gradually unravel the m ysteries of nature, and stimulated general thirsting for that knowledge which, properly applied, must ever ameliorate our condition in this 'vale of tears.
