A Second Venture for the Grand.

The Hanlon-N otter and Martinetti English
Pantomime and Novelty Combination opens
at the Grand Opera House fer limited en-
gagement beginning October Goth. Mana
gers Rich and Harris say they have engaged
the cream of the vaudeville and pantomime
attractions Of Europe, and though the eX-
pense Of the organization is enormous they
feel that sure appreciation and profit will
both be forthcoming. An original pantG-
mime entitled "a Terrible Night will be
done by the Martinetti troupe This COM
pany includes Paul. Alfred, Josephine and
Clara Martinetti, John Heard, Z. Josef, J.
w. Craig and Henry Carlo. The Hanlon-
Volter troupe of acrObats Will do Won
derful midair act, and their reputation is
second to none in the world. The two HUI
lines will perform grotesQue musical turn.
The Wurtemburg family of four women
and three men perform remarkable feats as
acr0bats, and their artistic groupings and
pOsturing feats have made them European
reputation. The Montaigne family Of eight
members will present Barnumesque act,
each Of the eight doing an entirely different
and distinct one at the same time. Walter
Emerson bears an enviable reputation as
cornelist, and his first appearance in troupe
of this kind will be decided novelty. Stebb
and Trepp have been TO America before,
and their abilities as grotesque comedians
are well known. They will do new act.
Dora Emerson, the soprano, will also appear.
Professor Gus Gebert will WELD the baton
for the company, and will introduce several
novelties with his orchestra.
Miss CT ara Morris Herself Again.
1t is refreshing to note that Clara Morris
is everywhere received on her present tour
with unbounded enthusiasm. We can
readily believe that the appearance of Miss
Morris takes ON something of the attractive
ness of novelty, coming as it does. in the
midst of great flood Of light and frothy en-
tertainment. Miss Morris stands unques-
tionably without a rival in the world of
English-speakiDg theatricals to-day. She
is the ideal of the pure emotional school
school which has had but few great repre-
sentatives. 1t is curious to note that, not
withstandng the addition of several new
plays to her repertory, the public evince a
strong desire TO see her Camille" in prefer
ence to anything else. She has made a
great success of the character of Renee de
Moray, which she has elaborated consider
ably since its first production in this city,
three years ago. Miss Morris is surrounded
by very capable company, and is travelling
in her own special car, and finds herself
fully able to give the required number of
performances week. 1t is needless to say
Miss Morris will receive welcome in this
city fully in accord with her acknowledged
standing

REGARDING THE PEN-F. W. H., City.
The word pen" is from the Latin ''penna,"
meaning feather" quilts having for long
time been used to write with fluid ink. The
slit end of the quill-the portion with which
the writing was done, and after which the
modern steel pen was patterned-was then
called the nib" A pen is now by extern
sion any instrument used tor writing by
means OF fluid ink, though some people call
is only splitting hairs for A to contend that
pen is a pen-point, and, combined with
pen. makes a pen-hoder; or, as b puts it,
that a pen is pen, and, combined with
holder, is pen also. The word ''pen-point"
is not in the best or standard dictionaries.

O'Clock the following morning when
she arrived at Markleeville. Itwas

THE RENO GAZETTE CASE.

The suit against the State OF
Nevada brought by Allen Bragg,
proprietor of the Reno Gazette, for
s6l6 as a balance due from adver-
Using the Constitutional Amend
ments OF tie special election OF last
Winter, has resulted in decision
against the plaintiff.
The case is one of general inter
est to the press. Mr.. Bragg in
publishing the amendments made a
special agreement With the Board
10 accept compensation under the
law of 1887, which provides that
can insertion shall be held to be
one publication per week" T1e
special election law, however, re-
CURED daily publication for two
weeks. 1t is clear that the plant
iff should be entitled to more money
for twelve publications than TIVE,
but by entering into an agreement,
however, with the Board, To accept
a certain figure, he barred his right
to the full amount.
The Court also held that the
deficiency appropriation made in
addition to the SIS, 200 frst appro-
priated to reinburse counties for
expenses incurred at the election
did not cover the Gazetts's bill, as
It was q State and not county
expense.
As the law reads, the indisg oil
the Court, while rsther bard on the
publisher, appears to be sound.
We think the mistake made by the
publisher of the Gazette was in
entering into an agreement with the
Board at all. The claim was orig
inaily passed upon as correct by
the Attorney General and the Secre-
tary of State, the Governor refusing
to endorse it. The Controller then
refused payment, and when it went
before the Supreme Court on appeal
from the District Court. Attorney
Torreyson was engaged by the State
to fight 1t, as the Attorney General
having passed upon it favorably IN
the Board. was disqualified to act
for the State against the claimant.
The ruling of the Court IN no way
effects the status OF the claims
urged against the State by the
counties in tie same election, but
infsrentially at least. admits their
validity.

A strange and really dramatic situa-
lion Is one described by the author OF
@Obeah, " little book which treats OF
West Indian life. Insects and reptiles
are abundant in the West Indies. and one
soon gets we'll acquainted with certain
small, bright green lizards. which are
perfectly harmless and very lively. These
little creatures are quite tame, and when

that appendage behind them.

The samaria of To-day.

From an illustrated article on Some
Wavside Places in Palestine. ;" in the
Century, we quote the following: g am
free to confess that / did not meet the
proverbial good Samaritan as / jour-
neyed through this much favored coun-
try. If one meets tiller of the soil he
will sidle off as far as the narrow path
will allow, and scowlingly watch the
travellers approach. The offer of a
pla,tre will bring him to a standstill.

lie, IN. Young People Work.

Teach your children that although
drudgery is not de-irable, work should
be sought after. Every moment OF the
time should be filled and idleness un-
known. In this way only is happiness
assured. There must be breaks i'll the
routine, of course. Sleep is essential and
work has no right 10 Oencroachupon that.
Pleasure is necessary rs a relaxation and
must not he crow ded out In other words,
work is u,el here in the sense of employ
ment, and means quite another thing
than continual manual labor or unbrOken
mental strain. When one reads of such
instances as the secret suicide of ls-year
old lad, whose mother was widow aud
who preferred to slip out of the burdens
and responsibilities of life rather than
work for living, it indicates something
entirely wrong in the education of such
youths. Their people work like drudges
and encourage their idleness until they
attain maturity with na ural Incidence
which makes them prefer the support OF
charity, or that obtained by theft, rather
than that gained by honest toll.

charac,erin Ears.

4 writer who has given much careful
study TO the human ear believes that IN
many cases it is quite as reliable an in
dex to character as any other Of the more
prominent features. Modern painters
and photographers pay very little atten-
ton to the ear, except TO place theirsub
iect where these features will not be too
prominent. but it has been noticed that
sculptors are more particular to cor
rectly model the ears
The most careless of observers must
have seen that there are many forms and
sizes of human cars. II is said that
women as n rule have much smaller ears
than men. and that they are generally
set closer TO the head.
Beginning with the outer edge or helix,
the ear is composed of thin cartilage,
next comes the anti-heliX, which should
not be too prominent in well-shaped
ear. but should project a triiie beyond
the edge The small knob which Is at
the lower edge is called the antitragus,
md the little point on the other side the
tragus. The deep well in the center is
the concla and the feshy part below IS
the lobe or lobule.
People with taste for music usually
possess large ears, while those Of the ILL
tempered and cruel are thin and small.
Large ears also are said TO denote gener-
osity. while the opposite is the trait Of
those with smaller organs Of hearing.
This last idea is scarcely correct, as OBJ
servation will show
The ears of great philosophers and
statesmen have been rather large. Mr.
Gladstone's ear has a curved, hanging
lobe, and IS set close TO the head in "A
sloping position.
The custom of boxing childrcns ears
when they need correction is barbarous,
and one which many a grown person has
suffered much trouble from. \ slight
blow on the ear Of a child may cause
total deafness in after years
The fashion Of boring the ears, that
Jewels may dangle therefrom, is one
which seems to be passing away, and 1t
is one which ought never to be revived
in civilized country. A well-formed
ear IS ornament enough to the face with
out seeking to beautify it further by.
metal decorations.

THE CAR At HOME.
The Emperor of All the Rnsslas Romp-
ing with His Children.

The Emperor of All the Russlas Romp-
ing with His Children.
To see the Emperor at best advantage,
he must be sought in the bosom OF his
family, says Leisure Hour. Indeed,
whatever he may think of his divine
mission, nature cut him out for simple
bourgeois. But he and his wife are
never happier than when they can leave
all state cares behind them, throw off
tie yoke of etiquette and live for their
children at Gs,schina, at Peterhof, or,
best of all in Denmark. in which coun-
try the Car unbends in manner never
seen elsewhere There is not so great a
romp as he among all his nephews and
nieces: he is master of all the childish
reyels. To these princes and princesses
he autocrat of all t.le Russias is simply
Uncle Sasha, and cries of Uncle
Sasha Uncle Sasha !" resound all over
the place. a favorite pastime of his IS
10 stand amid the merry throng and
challenge them to pull him down. But
they never succeed, either separately or
united. The Car has most wonderful
strength of muscle. He can bend
horseshoe or stransle a bear by mere
force Of hand.
The Car has five children, three sons
and two daughters. The Empress has
her daughters much with her, and mas
not even a so-callel governess for them.
Her own personal attendant and her
lalv of honor also serve for them In
part this springs from the Emperor's
love for simplicity of life, but in part
also that they try to surround themselves
with as few people as possible, so that as
little as may be concerning their private
life should transpire to the outer world,
Of whom they are, and not without good
reason, much afraij. The Empress up
erntends in person the education of the
two little grand duchesses, Xenie and
Ola, aged respectively IA and 6. The
Emperor in his leisure moments tries to
do the same for his boys. Especially he
loves to give them music and dancing
le, ons. for he thinks himself a great
musician. and has a prediction for the
cornet-a-pston.
