VIII Not Insure Bodie Property,

The Miner says: "To secure in
surance in Bodie at any rate is now
an impossibility. Property owners
feel their helplessness in that direc-
ton /; hence Bodie is really safer from
fire to-day than it aver was before dur
ing its lifetime, because there is no
danger from incendiary fires to secure
insurance money"

SIGNING THANKSGIVING CHECKS.
Commissioner Douglass Beats the Recort
Writing His Name.

kkSCOEU
Writing His Name.
Commissioner Douglass was writing against
time today. He had dinner party to go to at
l o'clock and funeral at $50. A large number
of checks had to be signed before he could CO.
In little over an hour he signed 500 and got
away 30 he could meet his engage ments and
have five minutes to spare. The clerks
of the auditors Office have prepared all
the rolls and the Commissioners are signing all
the checks so that the school teachers, police
men, fremen, clerks, laborers and other en-
ployes Of the District government can get their
pay for the month tomorrow if they want it
and have full pockets and full hearts for
Thanksgiving. To accomplish this the Com
missioners have had to do some rapid work in
the way of writing signatures
Mr.. Douglass yesterday signed 916 checks In
two hours, and this, Auditor Petty told STAR
reporter, beats the record. Altogether Mr..
Douglass, as the president Of the board. has to
sign about 5000 checks toward the end Of the
month to close up the accounts.
Commissioner Ross signs some Of the checks,
including those for the police department.
Everything paid on behalf of the District has
to be paid on the check of the District Com
missiOners. Sometimes checks are signed
for sums as small as two cents. The
Commissioners and auditor have urged
change in the system that would relieve the
commissioners OF the great amount Of routine
work involved at present. The proposition is
to have disbursing officer in whose favor
checks will be drawn in bulk and who will nav
salaries and other accounts.

A Performance Advertised, but 1t Didn't
Come on.
Eagles Nest, or The Truth at Last" was the
opera announced for last night by the Hebrew
Roumania Opera Company, Of which Samuel
Largman, Baltimore young man, was the
manager. Willard Hall WAS the place where
the opera was to be produced and by $50
o'clock more than one hundred persons were
seated in the hail
The curtain, howeve-, did not rise and the
audience becams impatient. The agent for the
hall WAS present with his bill and policeman
was waiting for q go deposit in lieu of the
license.
Largman saw that he could not meet the de-
mands made upon him and he attempted to do
the right thing by his patrons and returned
what money there was In the box Office, al
though il did not 60 far.
When it was learned that all the persons in
the audience could not get their money back
everybody talked at once.
Policeman Moore finally arrested Largman,
who was unable to leave collateral, and he
therefore had to be locked up.
When the case was tried IN the Police Court
Ofiicer Moore handed Judge Miller circular,
but the printing upon IL was in Hebrew and IL
was therefore no good as evidence.
The charge against him was giving an enter
tainment without q permit. The officer said
that the man would probably have been hanged
II he had not interfered.
He seems TO have been in . bad AZ all
around" remarked the court.
AZ there was no entertainment given the
court dismissed the charge, and II Largman
plays In no better luck today than he did last

Representative Mckinley reached Washing

his coat sleeve. An expression of satisfaction
and eontentment beams on his Napoleonic
countenance and he voices nothing bu. hope
In his conversation. He saws that defeat has
its advantages; that the republicans now have
nothing to do but get together and work, so as
to carry the country next time. He does not
think that any great success will attend an at
tempt on the part of the democrats to destroy
the Mckinley bill by dealing with one article

Senator Vest. such bill, he says, would be

But After He Was Badly Scared the Fine
Was RENTED.
A stranger stood in the dock Of the Police
Court this morning. He was neatly dressed
and from all appearances 1t was the first time
in his life that he had even been in such place.
His name he gave as Frank Phallanger and
he said that his home was in Williamsport, Pa
The offense against him, while not of serious
nature, was one for which the perpetrators are
always fined by Judge Miller.
1t was a charge Of chipping a memento from
the Washington monument. Waterman Tor
rey appeared as prosecuting witness and he ex-
hibited piece Of the wreath of the kentucky
memorial stone. The defendant had Clipped
it of with his knife.
What in the world did you do that for?' the
judge inquired.
Il don't just know what I did it for" he re-
piled In nervous voice.

THE SONG OF SITTING BULL.

THE SONG OF SITTING BULL.
Should you ask me, whence these stories?
Whence these fairy tales and rumors,
With their frequent repetitions,
And their wild reverberstions.
As Of thunder In the mountains?
I should answer, should tell you,
That they came from fake reporters,
And the makers Of news papers,
Who desire to raise Iagoo,
From the vale of Tawasentha
To the portals of the White House!
1 myself, Recumbent Taurus,
Say these things and say them plainly:
We are mild and gentle people,
Sucking doves and tender ducklings;
Haven't had scalp for ages;
Haven't had drink Of whisky,
Haven't had good fat turkey,
Stuffed with oysters and with chestnuts,
For SO long that We are hollow,
And we feel that the Mckinley
Bill has done us mighty damage.
Bucks we are, all Uncapapas;
And our squaws are Uncamamas;
We are swell and very swagger
Members of the Red 400.
And we do not fight and murder.
But you bet, we're Oca la las
And our only Manitou-too
Won't take sass from no darn pale facet
Do You hear this roaring Taurus?

Col. A. T. Britton has Just returned from
chicago, where he has been attending the meet
ing OF the worlds fair commission. In reply
to inquiries from TIE STAR, he says:
"The delays and difficulties connected with
getting the fair in motion have been due mainly
10 the endorsements which have surrounded
the local directory. That body has forty-five
members, each Of whom has in his respective
sphere attained great success and has been &C.
customed to be autocratic with his subordinates.
This spirit Of domination is naturally brought
into the directory, and. with the diverse local
interests in lands, &C., represented by members
from different parts Of the city, it has provoked
conflicts between them which has been here
tofore evidenced by the resignation at different
times OF both the president and the vice presi-
dent. and which has resulted in attempts to
change or modify the site heretofore rendered
70 and occupied by the national commission.
These difficulties have now adjusted them
selves, and when left Chicago on Friday even
ing ell differences were in excellent trim for
satisfactory settlement, and it was believed
that when the commission adjourned it would
be In position to ask the President to issue his
proclamation.
published statements relative to early ex-
haustion OF the congressional appropriation by
reason Of exhorbitant expenses and salaries
paid by the commission are exaggerated. The
accounts up to meeting of the commission had
been carefully audited and amounted to only
S55,OOO. The commission had at its first meet
ing In June last promptly accepted the site
rendered by the local company, and had done
SO three times over. 1t had also then accepted
the statement of the local board that the re-
quisite monies were in sight. and ut time Of my
leaving no plans and specifications, tentative
or otherwise, had been submitted by the local
directory to the national commission. 1t was
understood that they would be 80 submitted
this week, ard with the spirit of Cancellation
and conference now existing between the two
governing bodies 1t is probable that matters
will hereafter proceed with expedition and
smoothness.
1T Is not remarkable that differences should
have occurred in so large city az Chicago. nor
that difficulties would be encountered In
putting into successful operation SO large fair
as this is certain to be- both in national and
international way. 1t is remarkable that they
should have been overcome in less than six
months so that at an immediate date contracts
could be let and work be commenced
