BALTIMORE, MD, Jan. 21,-The So
cicty amateurs who came to Baltimore
on Tuesday and added about $4,000 to
the funds Of the Confederate Home by
their performance Of "L'Africaine" had
a very cordial reception. The sale of
tickets was enormous.
James G. Blaine, Jr. who was one OF
the four grand inquisitors in the cast of
"L'Africainc," became uncomfortable in
his tight shoes at the subsequent recep-
ton and german given in Lehman's
Hall, and finally, to relieve his feelings,
removed the offending articles and dis
played his stockings to the astonished
guests. This was not in accord with
Baltimore ballroom etiquette, so the
son of the Secretary of State was per
suaded to go to the hotel.

Obituary.

DIED = At Bakers ranch, White
Pine county, Nevada, March %, 1891,
Maria Louisa (Mathews), wife of Geo.
w. Baker, aged sc years, months
and 2 days.
The subject of this sketch was born
in Essex county, Virginia, Sept. 20,
1924, her parents, John r. and Fran
ces A. Mathews, then residing in that
locality.
She VS. married in st. Louis, No.,
Dec. 5, 1874, by the Rev. l. G. Hutton,
to Mr.. Geo. w. Baker, of Louisa
county, Va, her home being at ST.
Louis at that time, previously at Rich
mond, Va. After their marriage Mr..
and Mrs. Baker moved to Franklin
county, Mo-, where they resided four
years. at the expiration of which time
they moved to Lexington, Mo, which
place remained their home until 1878,
when they moved to White Pine
county, Nevada, since which time
they nave lived in the same home in
which they then settled.
Mrs. Baker was lovely Christian
woman, and had endeared herself to
her large circle of friends and ac-
quaintances 10y her ready sympathy
and kindly appreciation for and with
them. In her death her husband and
children lose devoted wife and mo-
Their. and her acouaintances a stead
fast friend.
The immediate cause of her death
was la grippe, disease which proved
fatal to her delicate constitution, de-
pite the assiduous and loving care be-
slowed upon her by her family and
friends. She was buried in the valley
cemetery, where, after brief, true
heartfelt services, the final farewells
were spoken by the bereaved relatives
and she was left to her last sleep.
May her rest be peaceful. w.

The Virginia Enterprise Is respon-
sible for this: "Do you know how
my wife treated me when I had la
grippe" said an indignant husband
yesterday. 'I'll tell you," he con-
tinued, without waiting for an an
swer. ssShe made a big fire in the
stove and made me strip down to my
undershirt. Then she put a rope
through the middle of blanket and
tied that round my neck, and then
she put my feet in a strong hot mus
tard bath, and made me sit down in
a chair-one of those little chairs that
little children use, you know-and
then she filled soup plate with
brandy and set it on fire and put it
under the chair. After that she went
out to neighbours to talk about the
divorce case. When she came back
l didn't have the grip or anything
else almost. l commenced to sweat
in about minute and 1 filled the
soup plate and the bath tub with
sweat until they were running over.
Oh, don't need no doctor when l
am sick.o

Fehrnary weather

Director Friend, of the Nevada
Weather Bureau, says in his report
for February:
The weather during February was
chiefly remarkable for the generous
precipitation that was very general
throughout the State, and the fire.
quent brisk to high winds and heavy
snow squalls that occurred, especially
in southern Esmeralda and the north
ern portion of Nye and Lincoln conn-
ties. The large amount of rain and
snow that fell has caused the hopes of
farmers to raise in regard to the sup
ply of water for the coming summer,
they being somewhat discouraged by
the small amount that fell during
January.
The mean temperature was 300 de-
gress, and the departure from normal
was -. The State mean precipitation
was 2.39 Qnches and hundredths) !,
and the departure from normal was
plus LID.
A very brilliant meteor was OBJ
served, moving from southwest to
northeast, at about 10 p. NJ. of the
18th, at Ely, White Pine county. II
was so bright that it was possible to
see surrounding objects almost as
plainly as in the day time. 1t disap-
peared after exploding with a loud
report.

Ghe S4w census,

The census has at last beef cbff1s
pleted. Chicago is now the second
city in the Union. In 1880 she had
but SOB, 900 and Philadelphia s46 900.
Only ten years shows Chicago with
1,09S,OO0, gain of over half a
million while Philadelphia has f,O48.-
600, a gain of but 100000. It looks
now as though New York would soon
be playing second fiddle to Chicago
as well. In 1880 New York had
/, 100000 and now she has lob, 900,
or gain of a little over 300, 900. The
South is also shown to be waking up.
Atlanta, with $4,000 in 1880, now has
$4,000, nearly doubling her former
population. Birmingham, Ala, with
10000 in 1880, now has $4,000. San
Francisco's increase has been q little
disappointing, but she has passed
Cincinnati in the race in handsome
manner and is now 9Th, pretty far
behind Baltimore with her 433 900.
The Atlas publishers will reap
harvest this year, as the census stat
istics and new maps, etc., causes an
immense boom in the business. We
take the above figures from the
Standard Atlas of the World, which
will in all probability sell by thous-
ands, as it is one of the most COM
plete and accurate works of the kind
we have ever seen.
II is safe to say that the first agent
in the field will fairly coin money, as
we all want the new census statistics
and the new features in this Atlas
which commends it to every bedy.
The History Company Of San Fran
cisco, the well known publishers,
control the Coast rights. They want
agents, and we call attention to their
advertisement in another column.

Somewhat of a Surprise

We learn that the safe of the late DIR.
Herriek of Hamilton has been opened
by the administrator of the estate,
Archie Beaton, and very little of
value found therein. There was no
will or other documentary evidence to
show that the doctor was possessed of
any money or property in the East or
in California, as was generally sup
posed. About two thousand dollars
in notes, mostly without security, and
considered worthless, WAS, we are in
formed, about all that was found in
the safe. The doctor had always been
supposed to be possessed of consid-
cradle money, and this post norton
showing is surprise to everybody.
Neither had he been the crusty old
bachelor he had been taken for for
thirty years, for a wife and daughter
survive him at New Haven, Conn.
All of which adds another chapter to
the strange sensations of our neigh
boring town during the past decade.

CELLARS THAT DISAPPEAR.
And Well Bottoms That Fall Out in
Larksville, Pa.

1t is queer place to live in where
you are liable to wake up in the morn
ing and find that your cellar has dis
appeared, and that the bottom has
dropped out of your we'll. That is
just what happens at Larksville, Pa,
and while it doesn't surprise any of
the residents, it makes it very incon-
venient for them. There is but one
we'll left in that town with a bottom
III it, and water famine has been
prevented by the putting up of res
ervoir in which to collect a supply.
The cause of this peculiar situation
at Larksville is that No. 2 colliery of
the Kingston Coal Company has been
working" something that a good
many miners haye been unable to do
to much advantage for some time.
This means that the roof of the col
liery has been sinking and falling in,
because proper support had been tax
en- from it down in the mines. Larks-
vile is built directly over the mines,
and it is in these depths where the
cellars and well bottoms have gone.
