SOME time ago a creamery was
proposed for Reno. Some people
said it would never be built. 1t is
now producing as fine butter as can
be bought anywhere, and a little
finer. The people who said the
creamery would not be built, also
said it could not make good butter,
and, if it did, could not find mar
ket fer it. Now, then, the Palace
Hotel, of San Francisco is being
supplied with butter from the Reno
creamery, and we predict that the
creamery will soon have to be en-
larged to supply the demand for Al
butter, but some people say it will
not. There are quite a number Of
these people in Nevada, too.

SIR GORDON CUMMINGS has been
convicted of cheating at baccarat
while playing the game with the
Prince of Wales and a few other
high-toned English men and women.
Cummings will be expelled from
the clubs, and the army, but he does
not seem to care much as he has just
married and gone to his country
residence to spend the honeymoon.
The English press is severe in its
criticisms of the Prince, who it
seems carried a baccarat layout
along with him wherever he went,
and was badly stuck on the game.
We do not believe Cummings
cheated; although the novioes at
the game probably thought he did,
and testified to that effect. All the
sympathy seems to be with him, at
any rate, and the chances are that
he took his medicine to keep out of
sight a more glaring scandal than
card playing, in which H. R. H.
was interested. In Nevada such
little thing would not amount to
much, but it seems to have shaken
royalty up pretty lively in bloomin'
Hengland, and such a thing may
happen that Albert Edward will
not step into the seat Of monarch
when his mother dies.

SENATOR STEWART in the June
Forum: The addition to our circu-
lating medium up to the present
time which free coinage would have
caused could not have exceeded fif-
teen million dollars. Such an adj
dition would have been great boon
in the present stringency of the
money market. The prediction that
European coin would be sent here
if our mints were open to free ooin-
age of silver is idle. Europe needs
all her silver coin. 1t is all held in
reserve for her redemption of paper
or is in circulation among the peo-
Pile. 1t is the peoples money, which
cannot be withdrawn without great
inconvenience. 1t is circulating on
a par with gold at ratio of 154 to
l. This is a valuation higher by 3
per cent. than that placed on the
silver in the standard dollar. There
is no silver coin in theworld which is
not valued higher than our own ex-
cept the Mexican dollar, which con-
tains little more silver than there
is in the standard dollar of the
United States. The only cheap sill
yer in the world is the small saccu-
mutation of silver bullion now on
the market. That accumulation not
only depresses the value of silver
but weighs down the price of all
commodities.

THE Nevada State Board of Trade
at its last meeting adopted reso-
luton calling the attention of Ne
vada fruit growers to the necessity
of making vigorous struggle
against the Goblin moth, woody
aphis and other pests, and to the
fact that the State University had
issued bulletins describing them
and the mode of treating them.
Would it not be good idea to fur
nish the newspapers with these bull
letins SO that they could publish
them for the benefit of farmers who
have orchards in the different ooun-
ties in the State.

ARRANGING THE FURNITURE.
Sensible Suggestions fer Making ourseiv,
and Our Guesfx Con.foAla

Sensible Suggestions fer Making Ourselves
and Our Guests Comfortable.
There should be place for each member
of the household IN any room, and atten-
ton to this causes the furniture in some
measure TO arrange itself and be so placed
that it shows to the greatest advantage
and can at the same time be used by the
owners in the best manner possible, says
The Decorator and Furnisher, in which il
found, also, the following advice:
In arranging the furniture of an apart-
ment, no matter how small the room is, a
great amount of comfort and certain ides
of unlimited space is always given by plac-
ing a screen judiciously by the door; this
prevents the whole of the room being on
view at once. and gives an opportunity of
placing chair or two behind it, which yvs
could not do were the door 10 open into
the passage and leave yawning gulf be-
hind ones back, or were it 70 open into the
room and SO leave an exposed place at
once, where no one could sit, because they
would feel they were sitting in the passage;
and again no chairs should be isolated or
put out of humanity's reach; if they are,
they will be surely sought out at once by
some shy caller or visitor and we shall
have to spend our time endeayoriug to
draw him or her into the circle We do
not mean that our chairs should be ar
ranged as If assembled at prayer meeting,
but that they should be in reach both of
ourselves, the fire in winter and the win
dow in summer, and of the light always;
then we shall be quite sure our guests are
happy, or if they are not, it Is their own
fault and not ours.

Adams is reported 10 have been the
first TO recommend the use of blue
glass, but they were at first more widely
used in Germany, chiefly through the
recommendation of the great oculist
Crate, of Bohm, and others. The blue
color OF glass is chiefly 20 be recon-
mended because it absorbs those rays in
their passage which belong to the yellow
and orange portion of the spectrum, in
which the greatest brightness and great
est heat are concentrated, and the eyes.
especially weak ones, consequently
greatly protected by the blue color,
while rays which such eyes are able 70
bear obtain access.
The material for blue glasses which
has to be made in various shades 10
suit individual eyes, is somewhat less
hard than that employed formerly for
green spectacles and IL also inferior in
that respect 10 white glass, but it has
gained in durability comprised with
former descriptions Of glass.
Still greater is the progress recorded
IN the manufacture and hardness OF
smoked" glass. also used for protecting
the eyesight. This kind Of glass, which
is colored gray or mouse colored by Q
addition Of manganese, formerly suffered
from too great softness by the addition
of large quantity Of lead: but the best
manufactures now made are nearly
equal TO white glass in point Of hard
ness. The object Of smoked glass is TO
reduce the glare OF light without segre-
eating colors.-ChanberE Journal.

How Boy Choir Singers Are Obtained.

The boy choir of Trinity chapel is the besl
known in the city, and this Is the only
church in the United States which has a
daily choral service. The choir consists 81
thirty members-twelve men and eighteen
boys. Boy singers are usually obtained
from the public schools, but a church Of
reputation never has any difficulty in
securing all the talent IL needs. We have
boys continually applying TO US fer posi-
lions in our choir.
When boys are obtained from the public
schools, the choir master goes 20 the prin-
cipal Of some school and asks for a number
OF the best singers who would like to join
q church choir. He takes them 90
the music room OF the church. where he
tries their voices and makes his selection
from which il can obtain ali the boys II
needs; in fact, the school was originally
founded for the purpose Of supplying
choir boys.
Boys are taken from the ages Of seven 20
eleven and men not older than twenty-five

ers, commercial houses, etc. for at tie

throw up his hands and before he knew it
was in custody. Alex Scott and Cesar
Jack were arrested in the same manner,
and in few minutes Captain Wiley and
Peter Hampden rode up. Before they got
TO Camp. however. they noticed there was
something wrong and turned their horses
and endeavored to get away. Marshal
Jones and posse opened fire upon them,
shooting Hampden's horse and capturing
him, but Wiley got away. 1t Is said he
was well armed and ridinga very speedy
horse and soon got out of range.
Lasley and the gang were taken to the
Sac and Fox agency, and before United
States Commissioner Patrick, Hampton
turned states evidence and gave the
whole gang away. He was released on
bail and the other three bound over. They
are now being brought to Oklahoma City
and will arrive about 10 O'Clock this morn

terpreJer was hunted up and the prisoners
interviewed. Lasley at first would not
talk much. but finally toid his story. 1t
WAS that on the night of the killing of
Thornton he was at Willey's house, where
IA child of Willey's was lying sick. He
(Lasley) went out into the woods TO get
some herbs to make drink for the sick
child AS he was hunting for the herbs
ne saw Thornton coming down the side OF
the hill towards Willey's house and knew
him He kept quiet and let Thornton pass
him and go on towards Willey's. He was
about twenty five yards behind him Thorn
tom when the firing began, and says he shot
twice or three times. that Wiley shot once
or twice and Thornton four or five times.
Thornton fell after one of his (Lasley's)
shots One of Thornton's five shots struck
Wiley between the fingers of his right
hand broke his wrist and passed through
the fleshy part of his arm above the elbow.
After the firing Wiley ran, but Lasley re-
manned where he was and watched.
Thornton was lying about twenty-five
yards from him, and quite while after
the shooting. he says, he saw white man
come slowly down the hill, looking this
way and that. until he got to where Thorn
ton was lying. Lasley was still on the
watch and threw down his gun on the
man with the purpose of shooting him,
but changed his purpose. He says he saw
the man turn Thornton over and then pull
his revolver and shoot, but could give no
reason why he should do so. Then the
man went over to a wood pile near by and
sat down and cried.

Reticent Red Men,

No one knows where an Indian is 60
ing. Travelling across the plain in
stage or an army ambulance you will see
him afar off galloping as if he had been
sent for the doctor and was afraid he
wouldn't find him at home. Approach
ing you as the two paths cross he will
usually rein up, exchange salutations,
study your outfit closely, checking his
pony to the slowest of walks, and with
out asking question will know just
where you are going, what you are 60
ing to do and what food you will proba-
bly, give him if he calls upon you at your
evening fire. Then he is off again,
ranging easily in the saddle, and soon
disappearing from sight. The land
from which he came is as empty as that
into which he has vanished. There is
not a sign of human habitation in either
direction. Hehas probably come twenty
miles since dawn, and will, unless he
concludes to camp with you, make an
other twenty before drawing rein.-Chi-

Jones has made departure in the line
of ministerial labors. He has abandoned
his pulpit for the winter and will devote
his time in practical demonstration of
the principles of Christianity by feeding
the hungry and clothing the naked. To
do this he has opened and viii maintain
a soup house in convenient place in
that city, where hot soup and bread will
be served twice day to those who are
destitute of means of support. He will
also supply the needy with such articles
of clothing as may be donated by the
citizens of the place for that purpose.
In addition to these substantial benefac-
tons, a comfortable reading room, pro-
vided with books and papers, will be
maintained for the benefit of those who
have no place to spend their evenings.

qnE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The message OF President Harrison to
congress is given in full in this issue of
the EAGLE. 1t is so concise In its treat
ment of state questions, domestic and
foreign. that no summary of it can be
made. but it is full of interest, and being
presented in the plain, clear language
that characterizes the presidents utter
ances, that everyone will want to read 1T
for himself, so that any effort to con-

be wasted effort. The reader will agree
with us that as a state paper the message

Glob1Democrat: within the past
twelve months the securities of Russia
and some Of the other governments of
continental Europe have shrunk in the
aggregate TO the extent of about $780,
100000. This means a loss to European
investors of this amount" The question
of first Importance in this connection is.
what became of the immense amount
thus lost? The answer to this, however.
depends upon what it was that was lost.
The shrinkage may represent so much
moisture" squeezed out and absorbed
by the wind. At least that would be a
plausible explain on this side.
