NEVADA LANDS.
Settlers Will be Enriched Under the Irri-
cation Policy.
from the San Francisco Alta.

From the San Francisco Altal
The report of William H. Mills, Land
Commissioner of the Central Pacific Rail-
way, shows good management OF the grant
and a decided access of demand for the
lands. His sales for the year were 1853 GOO
acres for $54S ,954. an average of So rs per
acre. The transactions of his Office are q
quite reliable index of the prosperity OF
California, since they are mostly confined
to this State, the demand for lands on the
grant in Utah and Nevada being very linn
tied. When the irrigation policy of Ne
vada is in shape there will no doubt be a
movement in the company's lands there,
which at present offer such an unpromis.
ing aspect. We believe it is the opinion of
Mr.. Mills that Nevada lands may yet re.
ceiye an impulse, and this seems to be war
ranted by the judgment of the United States
Survey orGeneral of that State, whose re-
port to this effect is quoted by the United
States Land Commissioner at Washington
Il think that the proof which I have adj
duced is sufficient to show that there is a
large and valuable body of agricultural
land in the State, much of which is vet I'M
surveyed, and very large part of which, il
not all of it, can be brought under success
full cultivation by the use of water properly
stored. l have also shown that there is
enough water deposited each year for the
purpose, and that in great many instances
large supplies of artesian water can be had
for the boring.
ut will appear that instead of eleven
twelfths of the settlers seeking to occupy
Nevada's agricultural lands starving to
death, the contrary will be true, viz: That
such settlers will thrive and enrich them
selves with greater ease and certainty on
the farm lands of the State than they can
anywhere else in the United States; the
aids required to that end being proper
system of water storage and distribution, a
revising of the land laws to suit the circum-
stances of climate and topography, and a
Redistribution of the public lands"

PoTEL's WIFE.

Now She Doesn't Want to Prosecute Him
for Beating Her.
In the Police Court yesterday, the case of
Edward Potel, charged with battery upon
his wife, was continued until Monday
next E. c. Hart appeared for the defend
ant, and when the case was called he asked
for dismissal on the ground that Mrs.
Potel had stated that she would not testify
against her husband. Mr.. Hart said he
believed the newspaper reports concerning
Poters actions had been greatly exagger-
ated He said that, from what he could
learn of the case, the defendant has been
brought into the Police Court SO that a
summons in a divorce case now pending
in the Superior Court, could more easily
be served upon him.
City Attorney Church said that while he
did not think d case could be made out,
owing to the disposition of the wife not to
testify, still he maintained that she and
another woman, one Belle Ami, who
seemed to manifest considerable interest in
the matter, should be heard, and if the
Judge should find that the Police Court
was being used as means of accomplish
ing something other than that of convic-
ton for battery, then the guilty parties
ought to be fined for contempt for triaing.
After more argument, the case was set
for Monday.

GRACE WITHOUT CoRsETs.
Actresses Whose Beauty Requires
Aid from Whalebone

From the New York Evening World
"Corsets upon the stagew exclaimed
Nine. Modjeska the other day. "Why no
woman can be graceful in a corset. never
wear one in part. Let me show you what
do wear. 1t is my own invention"
Carelessly throwing aside her loose
morning wrapper an exceedingly pretty
Russian robe of white cashmere, with
trimming of black fur, she showed tightly
fitted bodice of buckskin that came up to
the armpits and well down over the hips
"You see," said the actress, as she
swayed her body TO and fro, shat whatever
pose / assume the contour of the body is
preserved. | am supported, without being
restricted, as every one is in corset"
The buckskin garment was laced on
either side and fitted the figure perfectly,
yet there was no suggestion of stiffness.
Il wear this in all my parts continued
Modjeska. "The idea was suggested to me
by wearing an outer garment OF buckskin
in my role of Rosalind. l discovered /
could move with greater ease, and also that
i made better appearance than in any
garment had ever worm"
The preservation Of what is known as
''the line of beauty" is great fad with
some of the leading stars. Mary Ander-
son, in her statuesque roles, makes a great
point of this particular.
81 think the corset an instrument of
torture" Miss Anderson once said, when
asked to give an opinion. 81 am perfectly
miserable if put one on for half an hour.
All my dinner dresses are made to be worn
without corsets, and they are considered
by good judges to be artistic"
"What do you wear instead of cor
set%
"Nothing when off the stage, but in my
parts / wear this" And she held up
roll of stout linen cut in strips about four
inches wide. 1t looked exactly like sur
geon's bandage, and she puts it on ex-
actly as bandage is put on, rolling it
round and round her body, high enough
to support the breast and low enough to
cover the torso.
Mrs. Potter wears neither corset nor a
a substitute for one Miss Jessie Mil.ward,
the English actress, does not wear corset
on the stage, and substitutes only a tight
bandage worn below the waist. Sarah
Bernhardt wears tightly fitted waist of
flannel.

Ira G. Hoitt, Superintendent of Public
Instruction, returned on Friday from the
County Teachers Institute at fresno. He
informed RECORD UNION reporter that he
was somewhat surprised to find so large an
increase in the number of teachers in the

of their new school houses, and of the city
high school, established last year. OF the
218 new school buildings erected last year,
Fresno county erected II.
Professor Allen, DR.. Stratton and Pro-
fessor Jones, Of the State University, were
present and each, as well as myself, lectured
10 full houses. Superintendent Hawkins
presented a good programme, and the
teachers and public manifested an earnest
spirit in the cause of education, and dis
position to garner and to broadcast what
ever of grains of truth had been previously
harvested. The press OF Fresno takes a
lively interest in all educational matters,
and by its help the educational interests
have kept pace with the real estate boom.
Fresno county has good, bright corps OF
teachers, and the people appreciate them. u

BOLD HIGHBINDERs.
Two of Them Gag a Chinawoman an
Rob Her of Her Wealth.

Two of Them Gag Chinawoman and
Rob Her of Her Wealth.
Early yesterday morning two highbind-
ers entered Chinese brothel in the alley
between Third and Fourth, 1 and streets,
and robbed one of the women of $40 in
coin, pair of gold bracelets and gold ear
rings.
They accomplished their purpose in a
novel manner. While one engaged the
woman in conversation, all of a sudden one
of the men grssped her while the other
slapped a porous plaster over her mouth.
This was effective in preventing any out
cry, and they then took her jewelry and
money and departed. 1t was quite while
before the woman could remove the plaster
from her mouth to give the alarm, and by
this time the robbers had fed.
