CODE COMMISSIONERS.
The Supreme Court Says the State
Must Pay Them For Their
Services.

Business Next Monday-Civll
Business Yesterday.

The code commissioner will receive their
pay. In the supreme court yesterday an
opinion was handed down granting ex-
Chief Justice d. s. Wade, one Of the mem
bers OF the commission, a writof mandate
to compel the state auditor to issue hin a
warrant on the state treasurer for 81 COO.
Ex-Gov. b. p. Carpenter and Judge Cole,
of Butte, will each receive a like amount
for their services. Commissioner Wade
was appointed in 1889 one of the members
of the commission and since his appoint
ment has assisted in the preparation of the
four codes provided for by the last terrific
rial legislature. The civil and penal codes
and the code of OWL procedure were filed
with the secretary of state for which the
commissioner we're paid out of the state
treasury.
The political code was filed with the Sec
rotary on the 10th Of this month. Judge
Wade demanded a warrant from the state
auditor on the treasurer for $1,000 as salary
due him in preparing the political code.
The auditor refused to issue the warrant,
c%ontendinR that the legislative act of 1889
did not make any specific appropriation of
money out Of any fund to pay Judge Wade,
and he wat not entitled to receive any COM
pensation by the terms of the act until he
had performed certain services; and that
when the political code was filed with the
secretary there was no money in the state
treasury which was applicable to the pay
ment of the claim by reason of the appro-
priations Of large amounts by the second
legislative assembly. in granting the writ
Of mandate the court says: The laws max
ing appropriations for various purposes,
which are cited in the decision. were
enacted subsequently to the statute under
review, and cannot affect the rights Of
Judge Wade. The opinion was by the chief
Justice, his associates ~concurring. The
compensation fixed by the territorial legis-
lature for each commissioner was $4,000.

Blue Laws in the East,

Bathers at Eastern resorts have
recently been forbidden to walk
from their cottages to the beach
in the Abbreviated costumes usual
V worn while sloshing around in
the sad sea waves. They must
wear gowns or gossamers reach
ing to the heels, under penalty of
So fine, or five days imprisonment.
This is horrible Bathers should
not be 50 encountered. The small
boy who immerses his anatomy in
the murkey waters of the mill
race, wearing nothing but a few
stone bruises and a rag around
his finger, is the only true bather.
AS he wades in the warm, stag
nant water, and the soft, yielding
mud oozes gently up between his
toes, he is thrilled with delight
such az an ocean bather can never
experience. But their is certain
prudishness in this world that
must be catered to. Custom is
an in~xorable tyrant In Zulu
land maiden arrayed in Il string
/ of beads ana a smile is considered
pretty we'll logged out, but in
New York she has to case her
self in gowns and gossamers till
she is completely out Of sight.
While law reaches for the
bather in the East, Santa Cruz and
Sausaleto still adhere to the regu-
lar undress costumes which make
women look so lovely in the
surf.

TWAIN IN CARSON.
Some "reminiscences by His Nephew
VIII clemens

Mark Twain, is writing sketch
of his lie for =. Library and
Studio San Francisco maya
zine The following will be read
with interest by Carsonites:
President Lincoln had appointed
james W. Nye as Governor OF
Nevada, and Orion Clemens, an
Older brother of Samuel, was
selected as Territorial Secretary
by the President. Sam joined his
brother at Carson City in the
capacity of private seer atary. He
did not remain long in carson,
hut pnshed on to an out Of the
way mining camp, called Aurora.
While in Aurora he wrote series
OF letters to the Virginia City
Enterprise, which subsequently re-
suited in his obtaining an editorial
position on that journal.
Nevada, at that time, was
swarming with adventures. Bank
rupt tradesmen were fiocking
there from other territories. Col
lege graduates, tired OF grubbing
for Greek roots, went there to
grub for gold and silver. Mur-
derers and thieves, escaped from
justice. gamblers and the outcasts
from the cities joined the throng
and society became very lively in
the mining towns Of the Territory.
The fashionable ornaments Of The
day consisted OF an eight-inch re-
volver, an Arkansas toothpick and
jack boots.
In the mining regions Mark
Twain passed through divers ex-
periences. He worked at day s
wages in a quartz mill, and was
explorer and prospector. Many
OF his sketches, afterwaTd iucor-
pOrated, in jumping Frog" and
"Roughing It." We're published at
that time in local or Eastern
journals. Once for the space Of a
few moments, he owned the
famous Comstocll lode, and was
worth millions. He found out all
this after he had sold tho claim.
During the Winter Of 1862
he returned to Carson City for a
time. There was little doing at
the territorial capital, and in the
rear Of Governor Nye's private
office was a comfortable room,
where Clemens and the other at
taches of the offices whiled away
the Winter days at cards and
story telling.
In the Spring of 1862 he ac-
cepted the local editorship OF the
Virginia City Enterprise, and upon
that paper utilized for the first
time his pseudonym OF "Mark
Twain" He perPetrated many
broad and practical jokes through
his paper, His sharp pen caused
G man named Willis, then city
editor of the Virginia Union to
hunting up his record. This re-
suited in Clemens sending Willis
a challenge to mortal combat.
Willis would not accept, for he
said he would MT meet any one
on the field OF honor excepta man
Of hoCor His best man then
challenged Clemens, but he toe
declined on the same ground
given by Willis. AT that time
dueling had just been made popu-
lar by a meeting between Tom
Fitch. the silver tongued orator
and Joseph Il. Goodman, editor
OF the Enterprise. Bet the matter
was dropped, and Mark Twain
and Willis never met upon the
field of honor.
