Booming a New Play.

At Haverly's theatre, now the Column
bia, a few years ago, there was certain
attraction which was doomed in many
curious ways. A young newspaper man
received one day note written in a
lady's hand telling him that she would
occupy the right hand stage box at Hav-
erly's that night, carrying a large fan
and bouquet, and that she would ike to
see him there with red carnation in his
buttonhole. He thought at first that it
was trick, but be dropped in at Hav-
erly's that night, and, standing along the
east wall, with eyes riveted upon the
right stage box, were twenty or thirty
club men and FOUNDERS, who had EVIL
IDENTIFY received duplicates Of the news
paper mans note. A lady with q big
fan and bouquet sat in the box, but she
appeared completely occupied with the
play, and gave the gazers no return
glances. Only one among them, an
elderly lawyer, wore the red carnation.

Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1888-06-20

A Chicago dispatch has the fol-
lowing comforting news for the Sol
der friends OF Alger:
1t is quite generally believed that
Alger now has a greater following
than either Allison or Gresham,
and his lieutenants are working
night and day to swell the ranks.
They are particularly busy and sue
cessful among the Grand Army
men, the Alger headquarters being
thronged at all hours with the wear
ers OF the blue coats and bronze
buttons. Here they find congenial
surroundings, for the place is q
bower OF flowers and evergreens,
interspersed with war relics calcu-
lated to arouse the enthusiasm OF
all old soldiers. Iowa's candidate,
Allison, has equally gorgeous apart
ments, but seems to be getting the
wors. of the contest with the Michi-
gander,
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1888-06-20

Greed Raymond OF the California
delegation seems to have but one
central idea at Chicago and that is
TO have California: make all the
noise at the Convention, and have
himself recognized as the uoisest in
the .o;.
He reminds one OF the Scripturral
wild ass bfaying IN the wilderness
California sent delegation 10 the
Convention in special car, packed
with champaign aud California
burgundy.
All ready the evidence that the
wine is heing rapidly sampled has
begun 10 make itseI painfully mann
fest.
Greed Raymond has already as
suned TO speak Tor Nevada and
California and IN both instances he
has misrepresented these States.
H. has been howling Tor Blaine
a. the top OF his lnngs all the while
and even after Biaine's son has
called nj his headquarters and beg
gei him to desist.
Stewart and Jones have both adj
vanced clean so1-r reasons why
Blaine's name should not dc pre-
scented until after it is shown to be
impossible to unite on candidate,
but Raymond and the California dele
cation with the fumes OF their winein
their heads and morbid desire for
no,orlety continue TO bawl for Blame
against the oft expressed wishes OF
Blalne's best friends.
If Raymond has any good friends
about Chicago, they ought to cork
him up at once.

The Tariff and Quicksilver.

The Lake County Cal, Avalanche
Joints out the necessity of preserv-
ing the tariff on quicksilver, which
Mills has on his list. The Avail
anche puts the case in a very direct
manner:
With the present tariff our mines
are able to work at profit; should
II be placed on the free list every
mine in Lake county will be CON-
PEELED to close down. They cannot
compete with the cheap labor OF
SPAN ard Austria. For example,
in Spain the cost of producing q
flask OF quicksilver is 81, while in
Lake county the estimated cost is
about $27. The present price OF
quicksilver is about $40, with a
tariff of about So per flask The
foreign importer could sell now,
making profit of s25 per.fask, less
freight and charges, while our pro-
drcers would have only a margin OF
about S. per flask, less freight and
charges, Now how easy for the
foreign importer to work on a
smaller profit and shut out our pro-
ducers altogether. No; Lake county
cannot afford to help men to office
that are in favor of free trade. 1t
will shut out too many of our in
1ustries.

derbilts were comparatively well held, and
the CHANGERS were quite neglected, while the
movements in them were OF no special i'm

affected the entire market. London was

Wheat opened strong, with good demand
and sellers acting rather cautious. The first
trading in December was at 81 49, and in
May at 1888. There was considerable in
quiry for No. hard, and that sold at 81 35Ia
for May, 81 80 for December. After the first
sales business dragged, owing to the frmness
of sellers in holding tor ls0Ac advance.
Cables were firm ana the regular Liverpool

said, Firm. with poor demand" Chicago
was firm and higher in early trading. New
York higher: Sample tables were well sup
piled with the accumulated receipts since
Saturday, and sellers found the same
lack of inquiry that characterized the
close of last week. Buyers were examining
the offerings. but up to II o'clock had not
taken much grain. Some early sales were
made at about Saturdays figures, but the
tendency was downward, and in the alb
scence of any activity in speculative mar
kets, dealers looked for lower prices toward
the close. Receipts were, for the two DAYS,
$50 cars, and shipments amounted to rs.
