CONTINUATION DENIED.
The Doom of The Pottses Sealed.

Deputy Sheriff A. G. Dawley re-
ceived q dispatch last night from j.
A. Plummer, attorney for the prison
ers, stating that the Board of Pardons
refuses tc commute to life imprison-
ment the sentence Of Josiah and
Elizabeth Potts, wno are sentenced
to be hanged on Friday, June 20, 1890.
Thus ends the last hope for the
doomed prisoners, and preparations
are now being made for the execu-
ton.
Everything that could be done by
their attorney, and by the people who
were opposed to their execution, has
been done in their behalf but all with
out avail, and nothing now remains
but to carry into execution the sem
tence Of the Court.
But ono person has been hanged in
Elko county since it's organization,
and, 80 for as we know, this will be
the first legal execution Of u woman
that ever took place on the Pacific
Coast. This fact will mako the event
one OF unusual and exciting interest,
and June 20, 1890, will be an eventful
day in the history of Nevada.

Coating for Plaster Casts.

Hitherto in the galvanic coating of
plaster casts there has been difficulty
in stopping the pores of the surface so
etfectually as to prevent the galvanic
bath penetrating into the interior of the
plaster and there producing first crystal
hzation and then disintegration. This
obstacle appears to have been overcome
by the discovery that saturation in tan
not only closes up the pores of the plas-
ter, but adds very considerably to its
strength. Specimens so prepared have
been covered with copper one millimeter
thick, thickness which is not only suf-
ticient to resist atmospheric influences,
but which enables the surface to be fur
Their worked up and finished by hand.
The price Of cast coated with copper is
said TO be one-ffth of the cost of copper
casting. New York Commercial Adver-

An Odd Bird That Likes Fishing.


Away up on the mountain side, where
the numerous streams find their way
through deep, dark canons down to the
pulse beat Of old ocean, is the natural
summer home of the water ousel, the
strangest of all strange birds. You sell
dom see more than one of them at a
time. They are of dark blue color,
and are easily recognized by peculiar,
quick, jerking motion, which they never
seem to tire of. And as they fit from
rock to rock they are continually bob
bling up and down, performing such a
polite little courtesy as would cause you
to smile to see it.
Owing to their peculiar habits and the
isolated spots they select to build their
nests no one but the most ardent sports
men and naturalists succeeds in finding
them. Hence water ousels nest, with
two of their eggs in it, has commercial
value among nest collectors of $50. They
always build their nests Just back Of
some waterfall or under some overhang-
ing bank, where they have to go through
or under the water to get to it.
Another strange habit of this bird is
the deliberate manner in which they ap-
pear to commit suicide. They will start
slowly, very slowly, to wade right down
into the water until they disappear from
view, but if the water is clear and you
have a sharp eye you can still see their
little dark forms clinging to the bottom
in search of their morning repast, which
consists of periwinkles.-Tao Led

Indefensiblo Ininstice.

About one-ifth of all males in Massa-
chusetts average less than 81 per day.
The females working at this low scale OF
wages comprise 1894 per cent. Of all the
workers No intelligent reader will fail
20 realize what this fact means AS the
scale of wages rises the number of fe-
males enjoying them grows steadily less.
OF total Of 7 1857 workers receiving 500
a week and over, only 1853 are females.
The figures simply show that in the en-
pigments in which the very lowest
wages are paid women constitute over
70 per cent. of the workers, while in the
employments where as high as $50 a
week are paid they constitute hardly
over per cent
In addition to all this is the humiliatine
fact that in the same occupations, stand
ing side by side with men, the females
are paid less wages for the same work;
or, what amounts to the same thing. a
woman of 20 years or upward is made to
work side by side with a boy of 10 at the
same wages Women are compelled,
then, to fill most of the cheap places,
and paid less wages for the same work
at that ehaye no hesitation in saying
that this is an indefensible injustice, and
one so gross as to shame civilization.
Why do legislators sit passively under
such determinations Of sex in the matter
OF work and wages? Simply because
they know that the women carry nc
votes, and that mere sentiment, however
just, can neither seat nor unseat poll
tician, But it viii not always be thus.

Some people agree with THE Suns
opinions about men and things. and some
people don't: but everybody likes to get
hold of the newspaper which is never dull
and never afraid to speak its mind.
Democrats know that for twenty years
THE Sun has fought in the front line for
Democratic principles, never wavering OF
weakening in its loyalty to the true inter-
ests to the party it serves with fearless in>
telligence and disinterested vigor. At
times opinions have differed as to the best
means Of accomplishing the common pur~
pose it is not THE SUNS fault if it has
seen further into the milestone.
Eighteen hundred and ninety~one will
be a great year in American politics, and

A cypress dark against the blue,
That deepens up to such hue

A marble shaft that stands alone
Above wreck of sculptured stone
With gray-green aloes overgrown;

AS purple as via vintage stsiiIs;
And rocks that while the hours tun

And DER the cleaning waterways
A glimpse of islands in the haze;

With mountain eyes that seem to hold
The freshness of the world of old:

A grazing fiock-the sense of peace,
The long sweet silence-this is Greece!
