RENO. March 9. 1890.


% Bill Nye reached here on thu
delayed train at one o'clock Sun
) day afternoon. The APPEAL re
n porter found him in the sleeper; &
tall, athletic man, eating the invig-
> Grating pepper and baked beans,
which forms the regular diet OF
the fashionable BUFFET on the over
land route.
He was easily recognizable from
the pictures of his bald crust and
eye glasses, which for some time
past have garnished the pages of
the Examiner.
When the reporter grappled
with MI. Nye he removed his eye
glasses very deliberately, and
J hanging pair of old gold bowed
/ across the front of his face, re-
marked:
''Just in time;;" and ordered an
other plate of beans.
He wore sad face with slight
cast in his eye, and would be taken
off-hand for Presbyterian theo-
Logan of the old school, travelling
West.
The only incumbrance Mr.. Nye
carried in the way of baggage was
a small red grip sack, and the
fragments of an opera company
which cons titute a portion of his
entertainment.
After Mr.. Nye speaks to his
audience a while he quells any
threatening disturbance with mu-
sic, which he pays for out of his
own pocket.
"Have you had a pleasant jour
ney, Mr.. Nye?"
''Never enjoyed myself half so
much before. 1t seems as if /
could hardly ever expect to again
enjoy myself off a train of cars" 4
'Then you like traveling?"
''No, sir, I do not; not ordinary
travelling. L dislike travelling so
much that l postponed my bridal
trip eight years after L was mar
ried, and then / sent my wife to
make it, and paid half her expens-
es to have her write me her i'm 5

now merely as matter of bust
ness"
"What are your impressions of
Reno and San Francisco" :,
"They are real good; in fact, San
Francisco is about the only city of
the Union around which, or whom :
-as you may say-say both if you !.
ike, still fingers an atmosphere of 9
'omance and splendor and stage :
business, and gold and glamor :
iuch as we read of in books"
"Have you ever been there?',
"No, sir; but / have had the :
'leasure of meeting many of your :
most prominent citizens while :.
raveling abroad, and have Dor =,
owed fame and other light arti- :,
les from them"
"Then your impressions, so far, -
re pleasant, as far as they go?" :,
eyes, indeed, as good as any 1 !,
ave ever had. In fact, San Fran :.
lsco and Reno are, to my notion, =,
ne only cities in the United States =
and you may credit me with say -
lg it if you about which
ill fingers an atmosphere of ro-
lance and splendor and stage
usiness and mechanical effects,
nd gold and glamor, such as we
nly read of in books. This also
pes for Carson if you like"
"Do you notice any other fea-
Tres which strike you as attract
e?"

"Yes, / can see great possibili-
IS in it as railroad center es-
,cially, and also as mart. Tell
e; has anybody ever thought of
arting a mart there? For in the
ance, busy mart equipped with tax
e ceaseless hum of industry and the
e other side accessories of a Gin
art under full headway?" ms
