his wife Sarah Watson, for an account

mining property the said A. II. Wat
son and Sarah Watson own in Osce ola
aud Robinson Mining Districts IN this
county.
The second suit is to recover the
sum of $4,000, alleged to have been
fraudulently obtained from plaintiff
in 1888. The defendants, We learn,
deny all the allegations of the plain
tiff
Of the merits of Mrs. Walcott's ac-
tions in the premises we know moth
ing, but il looks strange, to say the
least, that she has just decided TO as
sert her ownership, after Mr.. Watson
has unearthed a valuable bonanza. AS
Court meets next Monday, and these
actions will come up for hearing,w we VIII
be able in our next issue to Judge ot
the merits of plaintiffs complaints. IL
is to be hoped tina: no long or tedious
litigation will ensue.

THE UNIVERSITY MIDDLE.
President Brown Invited 10 step
Down and Out.

For some time past there have been
low mutterings by the Reno press that
all was not going well at the Nevada
State University, that the President
and Faculty were not working in har-
mony, and that the Board of Re-
gents should make aud investigation
They did so last week, and President
Leroy ID. Brown was invited to resign,
which he did. In this matter, The
journal censures the action of the
Board, while tie Gazette commends
it. But What the trouble is all about
has So far been kept from the public.
From all we can learn at tins dis
lance about the State University it
seems TO be u "toploftical institu-
ton of little utility 10 any one but the
imported corps of higli-saIaried pro-
fessors who compose its faculty. The
Carson Appeal voices the general SEN
tlmenl in regard to this institution in
the following.
For some time past there has been
q war going on between the teachers
of the State University, and it is about
time the public knew something re-
garding it. The institution belongs
to the taxpayers OF the State, and they
have an interest in its welfare.
The Appeal is of the opinion that
the institution As it now stands is ut
terly useless to the people of the
State. The State is not old enough
for University, much less for one,
the curriculum of which is of SO low
grade that it is not as good as the
public schools OF Reno. Another
reason for needing University is
the existence of numerous institutions
in California, where young men and
young women can be thoroughly edu-
Gated. State pride may influence a
man to n consider BILE extent, but it
will not Influence father to send his
children to home institution if he
can go few miles further and secure
better education for the same or even
more money.
The importation of Mr.. Brown from
the East was a mistake. He is very
pleasant aud educated gentleman, but
he lacks experience in the West. He
does not know how to deal with Vest
ern young men and Western people,
and in this respect be is deficient, al
though his knowledge of Greek roots
may he u No. /. A Pacific slope man
ought TO he at the head of the Univer-
sity ii il continues Ia run, but II il
does no better in the future than it
has in the past, the next LegIsla-
turc ought To abolish il. 1t has n
large and expensive corps Of high
salaried teachers: far ioo many in the
opinion of the people for the limited
number of scholars vino attend the in
stiiut.on.
Ii any citizen OF Reno can throw
any light gu the inside OF the quarrc!
among the faculty, the Appeal would
like To prin the communication.

Attachment suit.

An attachment suit was commenced
in the District Court last Sunday
against the Merrimac Company by the
Eiko and White Pine Transportation
Company for $1,Oss 80. B. F. Miller
brought the suit for the latter COM
pany. Ben rushed it through in a
hurry, but that bar of bullion he ex-
pected the Sheriff to lay his hands on,
was quicker in its movements than
Ben, and he got left on that PROPOSE
ton. We very much regret the imam
cial difficulties that have for some time
hampered the Merrimac Companys
operations. The mine is said to De
looking first rate, and We hope ar
rangements will be consummated to
liquidate its Indebtedness and start 1t
anew on q sound financial basis.

THE POSTAGE STAMP MYTH.
Origin of an Idea That Has bothered Many
Hundreds Of Good People.
Good Housekeeping.1

Now and then some one announces
himself as the victim OF the one-million
postage stamp hoax. 1t is firmly believed
that il 100000 stamps are collected and
forwarded to some one, bed will be pro-
vided for an invalid boy in some hospital,
or a home for an orphan. Christian
churches have been the special victims,
and there is hardly one in England, the
United States, Australia, India, or in any
other country, that has not had several
members begging, borrowing. and even
stealing postage stamps in order to make
up the million that will 60 to clothe and
feed some orphan.
This swindle originated in the fertile
brain OF postage-stamp collector at Stet-
tin, Germany. He desired to get vast
collections TO sorCout and sell again, and
hit upon plan 10 set the whole civilized
world to go to work for himfree of charge.
He preyed on the sympathies of people by
announcing that an orphan would be
cared for in ''the Syrian orphan home"
for every 100000 stamps sent to him.
This worked well and the next dodge was
the starting of a mythical mission in
China, the holy sisters of which agreed,
for every 100000 stamps sent to
them, to save from the jaws OF
the crocodiles of the Yellow river at
least one Chinese baby, and then edu-
cate and christianize it. The stamps
were to be sent, not to Jerusalem or China,
but to Munich or Stettin. The last claim
on the sympathy of the world that has
been made by this German is that for
100000 stamps a home for an old lady or
an old gentleman will be provided in one
of three homes-one in London, anoth er
in New York and the third in Cincinnati.
For 100000 stamps bed will be endowed
in hospital, and for 100000 a home will
be found for an orphan for one year
There are agencies i'm various cities TO
forward stamps TO Stettin. 1t is estimated
that this swinder has collected over lOO,-
100000 stamps in the United States alone,
and that these were worth from $500, 1000
to three times that amount.

tle." Then with great spirit this remark
able assertion: at is the eternal principle
that the male shall create; that the female
shall nurture. Few women ever created.
They were 'derelicts,' wandering forces,
when so striving. Had these known the
master-power OF mated genius in man,
their contribution TO the worlds good
would have been infinitely greafer!'
Cosima Wagner not only gave her own
magnificent powers TO Wagner, but she
gave Listz-Listz, the petted of kings and
princes, the adored OF all women, the
greatest pianist the world ever knew, who
never uttered word, made motion or struck
note, without presenting living idea-his
endless and all-powerful slave. These two
tremendous forces, with access to a kings
treasury, gave him power to realize his
ideas fully; fortune no composer before
him ever possessed. As to his influence
upon music, believe it to have been bad );
not because of his real accomplish
ment, but because there remain only
two classes to contemplate his work
One believes with Wagner that the ulti-
mate was reached in his methods, and
initiates them sadly and badly. The other
absolutely rejects everything Wagnerian.
Neither disciples nor enemies are true
critics. Time is the only memorable de-
terminer of what is best in art And be-
lieve time will give Richard Wagner his
place: A transcendent poet and musician
who twin genius created a new form OF
expressing simultaneously majestic ideas
in blended sound and thought. Wagner
made new type of a certain expression.
He did not reveal melody. Its divinest
forms were before him. He disturbed
these for little. They will again appear.
He created Immortality for the supremest
appreciation of the intellect. The world
will ever cherish that music which appeals
to the supremest appreciation OF the heart.

An ola story Re.urrected.

An old story of the Tippecahoe campaign has
been resurrected by a veteran of 1870 Two
Irishmen in New York City had departed
far enough from their natural afilia-
tions to become ardent supporters Of old
Tippecanoe. Despite argument, entreaty and
threats they worked for him Loyalty. and cele-
brated his election by going on tremendous
spree. which lasted internationally all winter.
The Harrison inaugural came around and found
them far enough recovered TO file applications
for Office, after which they resumed their inter
rupted celebration. The long continued soak
resulted in delrium tremens, and by the time
they emerged from the hospital President Har-
rison was dead and the Tyler administration
had thrown the wing party into CONSERVATION
and antagonism. The two friends met in a sa-
loon.

Tuberculosis in Meat.
Evansville Courier


No other people that ever lived in the world.
so far as we know. have been so scrupulously
careful in the observance of sanitary laws as
the Jews, and when are told that they owe
their freedom from consumption largely to
their rigid inspection OF cattle, and see how
rigid the inspection is as described above, we
may well stand aghast at the prospects before
the people of Evansville from the introduction
of the Chicago beef trusts meat here. In the
wholesale slaughtering of thousands OF cattle
daily, il would be marvellous indeed If a large
per centage OF the Chicago beef was not dis.
eased.
The last legislature passed law requiring all
cattle 10 be used for food 10 be inspected on
foot. but the courts have decided the law TO be
unconstitutional on the ground that Il inter
feres with commerce between the states This
may be good law, hut there is nothing TO inter
fere with the government of the United States
compelling such inspection, and If the con-
sequences are as serious as Dr. Bertrand seems
TO prove. such government inspection will be
necessary to save the American people from
the most destructive malady 10 which the
human family is subject.

THREE YEARS OPERATION.
Successful Eradication of An Old Lady's
Disfiguring Beard.

An electric physician in New York City has
been engaged on a single operation for over
three years, says the Detroit Free Press In
the early part of 1886 a lady called upon him
and told the doctor that she wished 20 have
the superfuous hairs on her lip and chin re-
moved. There is only one way 10 accomplish this
successfully, and that is by inserting an electric
needle into the capillary tube Of each hair and
killing the root by electric shock. Alta rough
estimate. the physician placed the number of
hairs on the woman's chin and lip ut 1900 He
is an exceedingly busy man, and he sat down
and figured out how long it would take to ac-
complish the total eradication OF the beard.
Then a contract was entered into between the
physician and patient and the result was that
the electrician has drawn a comfortable income
from the patient ever since. He has completely
annihilated the beard, and the lady's face is
free of the old adornment. She is some thou
sands of dollars poorer, but her soul is pos
sessed with peace. And so all ends happily, as
in the tales of iry-land.

W hatcNer else III was, IL was union OF
genius and force without which Wagner
would have broken and failed beneath the
remorseless storms OF opposition his own
remorselessness compelled.
Probably now sixty years OF age,
Madame Cosima" is head taller than
was the short and poddy Wagner. Quaint
and odd in dress, spare and gaunt in
figure, the startling effect is heightened
by the longest and scrawniest neck ever
connecting woman's head and frame. She
is as sallow as was her venerable father.
Deep but phenomenally bright and pierre
ing ewes CLEAN out under heavy brows.
Her nose is long and hawked. Her mouth
Is large, with lips firmly set with an ex-
preston of unconquerable will power; and
thisis all intensified by iron-gray hair hood
ing the sides of the face almost to the
chin, which is then gathered in a huge
knot at the top of the head. There never
lived so homely and yet so fascinating
man as was Listz, whose grotesque face
have studied in parlors and at pianos by
the hour; Cosima Wagner is his prototype
in woman. / believe her to be what Wag-
ner ever insisted she was, the most intel
lecsual woman in Germany. Not this alone.
Her intellectually was even surpassed by
her matchless devotion. 1t did not make
her his enemy. 1t made her make him.
No fiattery ever tempted her into the
weakness OF vanity regarding her own
majestic part IN what the world got from
Wagner. Hence, and because OF this loyal
abnegation only, she must ever be known
as luminousy as he who would
not have gained Immortality with
out just that power from her
and Just that abnegation which
devoutly holds to this hoar. "No
the world is wrong" she said 1T was all
his mighty genius. / could help but lit
