DEATHS ANGLING,

The highest merits of q cartoon are It's
tr%uthfulness and timeliness. How truthful
and pat was THE WoRLD's striking cartoon
picturing Death angling for his victims from
q telegraph pole, with an electric wire in his
bony hand. was again proved by the instan-
taneous killing Of q young German on the
Bowery last night. | -
It would seem that everybody ought to
know enough not to touch voluntarily and
nesdlessly. as this young man did, the death
dealing wires. But every day brings is
proof that this knowledge and caution are
very far from universal.

YIELDS By FAR THE BEST HARVEST.

The Great Crowd Collected in Grand street
by an "Eveiins World" Advertisement.
The business man. who sdyertses-and the dealer
who does not advertise, may be set down 40 no
business MANS alert to the spirit of the times,
and there Is q strong tendency to the startling In
announcements, hitting TO that spirit. On Thursday
b Stern a Son, the manufacturing clothiers at $50
and $50 Grand street, announced N The EVENING
WORLD that they would sell next day, rom 2 10 8
?. ~, knee trousers for youngsters at nine cents
per pair.
An EVENING WORLD reporter visited the locality
yesterday afternoon. He found q big. policeman
vainly endeavorinG 70 satisfy q big crowd Of men
boys, that the do6f6f sternS store was locked.
Inside the store Q similar crowd complet ely filled
the ealesroom. Half q dozen clerks were buslly
dealing out trousers from q pile OF 8, 600 fresh from
the tailor shop In Delaney street. The trousers
have been sold heretofore at 80 cents. The buyers
were mainly from the poorer families of this neigh
borhood, and some OF the little fellows were In sad
need OF the new clothes. Thanks to the plan In
dicated above Of admitting only AZ many al a time
as could be comfortably accommodated, there was
no trampltng OF children under foot, and while all
were not served when 5 o'clock arrived, much
good was done by the scheme.

BRAINS PLAY RAIL,

1t takes something besides muscle, wind
and pluck to play baseball nowadays.
As in war it is the thinking bayonet"
that wins, other things being anywhere near
equal, so in the American game it is gener-
ally brains that succeed.
The truth Of this was illustrated in the
snatching of a victory by Strategy quick,
bold conception swiftly and intelligently
carried out-by EWING in yesterdays game
with the Philadelphias.
When quick wit supplements good physical
qualities and perfect technique, then is
"great ball" played.

There was nothing we could hold under
him, because the men had taken the cover
from the patrol wagon and tried to spread it
under the window, thinking the man would
jump, and q coal box had prevented their hold

He got a good grip of the man under the
arms and hollered to the men to pull them
back. It was quite a strain OF them to hold
the dead weight Of two men for two or three
minutes even. Fortunately no more time
was required than that. The interest of the
spectators increased as they saw the meu in
the window holding on to Clayton for all
they were worth, and Clayton keeping a firm
grip on his man.
Fortunately no accident occurred. Tho
man in the %nigntgown was helped into the
window, and then they pulled in Clayton.
He was not hurt and suffered no worse harm
than getting very red in the face from being
held head downward. He breathed O little

Those Lying Newspapers.

a rather amusing thing occurred a
few days ago down by the river, says
the Louisville Courier-Journal. The
big coal fleet had arrived and the fact
had been heralded in the Courier
journal. There was barge pumper,
whose ewes the headlines in the paper
caught, and who read the piece be-
cause it was OF that which he knew
most about of all things. When he
reached the point where the words
and figures grand total, 100000
bushels occurred, he threw the paper
down in utter disgust, exclaiming I:
" Well, they're gettin' to be bigger
liars every day, these newspapers.
Now, l never heerd of that boat,
Grand Total before, but | will just
bet my weeks wages agin bucket o
beer that she can't carry nor tow no
100000 bushels OF coal, and my talk
goes. Why, thar amt no boat that

Cure for Inebrlates.

The Russian physician and publi-
cist, Portugaloff, declares that strych-
nine in subcutaneous injections is an
immediate and infallable remedy for
drunkenness. The craving OF the in
ebriate for drink is changed to posi-
tive aversion in day, and after treat
ment OF eight or ten days the patient
may be discharged. Even though the
appetite return months afterward, the
first attompt TO resume drinking will
produce such painful and nauseating
sensations that the person will turn
away from the liquor in disgust. The
strvchnine is administered by dissolv-
ing one grain in 200 drops of water
and injecting five drops of the solu-
ton every "a hours. DIR. Portugaloti
recommends the establishment of in
ebriate dispensaries in connection with
police stations.
The eminent Portugalof is more
than halfway off with regard to the
proper quantity OF medicine which
should be administered to cure a pa
tient OF the desire for strong drink
We further think he is more than
three-quarters off with regard to the
proper place to put it.-Virginia En-

The Mormon Oath,

NJ. w. Havilsnd, Register Agent at
Spring City, is of the opinion that the
oath prescribed by the last Legislature
for electors is unconstitutional, and Mr..
Haviland is right beyond doubt. The
object of the oath is to disfranchise
members OF the Mormon Church, other.
wise known as the Church of Jesus
Christ Of Latter Day Saints, whether
they have violated the law or not. This
is clearly interfering with religious
liberty, which the Constitution OF the
United States guarantees, and the Legis.
lature OF Nevada could, with equal
propriety, if so disposed, disfranchise q
Methodist, Catholic or Presby terian.
At present the oath only applies to Nor.
mons, next year it may include Catholics.
and year or two later Baptists, or any
denomination a majority Of the Legis.
lature may have dislike for. OF course
liberty.loving citizens will not sanction
such an act, and the courts will doubt.

There is at the present moment an
unfortunate monstrosity hidden away
in a back room of the London Hospi-

has caused. Women beg and plead
to be allowed to 90 and gaze at it.

the sham pretense Of humanity,

man. They are fascinated by this dis
tressiul creature, and they take their

Heavy Rainstorms and FLOODS.

This section was visited Tuesday
afternoon by the heaviest rainstorm
we have ever seen in Nevada. Soon
alter il commenced the water came
rushing down the ravines and can
yons with such force as to make it
almost impossible to turn its course or
stay its velocity. At one time it
looked as il many Of the houses in
town would be flooded, but only few
suffered any injury. The residence Of
the News man-built according to the
Bible theory, on a hill-fared the
worst, the road bank above him break
ing and swift current of water and
debris coming through the kitchen.
All efforts to turn or stop the turbid
current being futile, the family had TO
quickly vacate. All the doors we're
then thrown open and the food per-
mitted to run through. When the
storm ceased and the food subsidized,
our late abiding place was a sight to
behold. Every room was filed with
mud and water a foot deep. To one
unused TO Nevada cloudbursts the
sight would be demoralizing, but we
had seen such things before, and much
worse, at Eureka. Two days hard
work, with assistance, has set our
premises all right-barring the car
pets, which can be bought cheap by
the paper mills-and we are at home
again.
We learn that the storm at Ward
was also very severe, as it was in the
valley, where the rays OF the setting
sun revealed broad lake OF wonder
GUS beauty, as seen from here through
the rifted cloud that hung low to the
horizon.
Wednesday afternoon threatened a
repetition of the previous days storm,
and our people were on the alert to
avoid its fury. Hail, large as mar
bles, came down with great force for
about ten minutes, when it turned
into rain, but not so heavy as on the
previous day. These storms were fol-
lowed by heavy electric forces.
The roads in all directions are badly
cut up, and we shall probably hear Of
many disasters resulting from these
storms in other parts OF the State.-

GIa.istone's Views.

Hon. w. f. Gladstone is an English
statesman of the greatest ability. In
1881 in speech at Leeds, he said I:
will say this, that as long as Amer
lea adheres to the protective sys-
tenn your commercial primacy
is secure. Nothing in the world can
wrest it from you while America con-
tinues TO fetter her own strong hands
and arms, and with these fettered
arms is content to compete with you,
who are free, in neutral markets. And
as long as America follows the doc
trines now known asthose of fair trade,
YOU are perfectly safe, and you need
not allow any of you, even your slight
est slumbers to be disturbed by the
fear that America will take from you
your commercial primacy.
