an opportunity to repay him.

A Telephone Register.

The present system of charges for
the use of telephones by annual sub
scription is by many considered unjust,
inasmuch as some subscribers speak
often and much. whereas others use
the telephone only occasionally. In
some German telephone Offices an cleo
trically driven clock is attached to each
telephone, which will work Us long as
the telephone is of the hook, and stops
directly it is replaced; the service is
charged for according to the time re
corded. 1t is claimed for this system
that unnecessary conversations are
prevented, that those that take place
are limited to reasonable length, and
the useful efficiency of the whole in
stallation is increased. Electricity.

Two ambitious wheelmen of the city,
Fred Chafin and Leonard Deltrick,
thought they wanted a ride on their
bicycles Sunday, so went over to Laramie
on the train and came back on their
wheels, making the trip, a distance of
ffty-two miles in seven hours. The boys
report a pleasant time, as the ride was
one full OF unalloyed pleasure.
They experienced several difficulties,
just enough to lend zest to the trip.
While coming over the divide they had
to wade through about FIVE feet of snow,
besides having a snow storm going on at
the same time. A little further down the
mountain they had n rain storm, but
finally got down to the plains where the
weather was more agreeable.
The boys stayed at MacPhee's for
lunch for half an hour and her finished
the spin home, arriving here at S O'Clock.
They have been advising their friends
to make the trip, as they claim to have
had an elegant time.

LAAAAiilNa pFll1 HINES.
There was hardly a vacant seat in the
house when the curtain rose on the first
part" aud the spontaneous applause that
was the rule throughout the performance
was merited. The aforesaid first part is
somewhat of a novelty in the costuming,
and the management has succeeded in
getting together some really good voices.
All the %soloists were old favorltes, and
were greeted with hearty plaudits as they
were introduced. The quartette, Moore,
Jose, Lewis and Frillman, was compelled
to repeat Its number on each occasion.
George Thatcher and Burt Shepard,
whom all recognized as tavorites OF the
past, simply repeated their old successes
in their broad humor. The specialties
were all good and far above the average
of even the best of minstrel shows. The
finale, THE Fet6 Of the Goudoliers, "
was novel, and a pretty piece of stage
setting and c%0stuming. A notice of the
nights amusement would hardly be COM
plete without Il reference to the eccentric
dancing OF j. A. Coleman, who exhibits
something new in the way of terpsichorean
gymnastics, to the great delight OF the
audience"

Her Family has Furnished Several
Sensations Recently.

The dead body of Miss Lore J. Adair
was found OIL the bed in her room at Col.
Dickey's house on Seventeenth street
near Warren avenue, about 10 O'Clock
Sunday evening. The girl had com
mitted suicide. probably because of dis,
appointment in love.
A short time before committing the act
she was conversing on Seventeenth street
with a friend and told her she wished to
see her lover. and asked how she could
get a message to HIM. The friend ad-
vised her to call a hack and send the mes
sage, which she did. evidently intending
to commit suicide and wishing her lover
to be with her when she died. She had
told her friend some time before that her
lover intended TO marry her next Weducs-
day, but Sunday afternoon he had re-
fused to keep his promise and she grew
desperate. She evidently took strychnine,
as she purchased a quantity at a drug
store on Friday last, telling the clerk she
wanted it to send out to her fathers
ranch to kill coyotes with.
The glrl was dressed IN white and wore
white mlts. The dress Is the same as she
intended to be married IN, but it will now

Veale came M to look after the relin-
auishment of the townsite of North
Wendo err. The company laid out a
townsite on the north side of the river
and afterwards ran the railroad on the
south side, go the old TOWNSHIP is entirely
out of it.
They have been paying taxes on town
lots up there, and the frugal mind of Jay
Gould did not approve OF paving taxes on
tow lots where there is no town, so the
townsite has been relinquished and the
town of North Wendover is a thing OF
the past.

Gen. Johnston,s Death.

Philadelphia Times: Johnston was
an able man, brave officer, high
toned gentleman and thoroughly hon
est and upright in every walk of life.
He outlived the animosities of the war
and was honored by men of all parties.
Chicago Herald: BY reason of his
courteous manners and fine abilities, no
less than as result of his patriotic ac-
ceptance of the changed conditions
brought about by the war, he came to
be highly regarded at the North as well
as at the South.
Chicago Times; When the war was
over Gen. Johnston urged his friends to
return to their homes and make the
best effort to undo the evils of the past.
Having fought brayely for his section,
and having been fairly conquered, he
threw the weight of his personality into
the scale for restoration OF the Union
and the burial OF all bitterness.
81. Louis Globe Democrat: History
Will undoubtedly accord him the most
conspicuous place next to Lee among
the Confederate commanders in the late
war. 1t will, at least, be said that if his
plans had been carried out two of the
great campaigns of the war-that Of
Vicksburg and that of Atlanta-might
not have been as successful to the Union
side as they were.
Indianapolis News: 1t was tribute
to his character, testimony to his
great courtesy and gentle dignity that
he could thus win and preserve his
place in the quarter of a century that he
survived the great rebellion. Peace to
his ashes. On James eternal camping
ground he will have place and well
come among the brave soldier comrades
that have gone before.
