Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1891-11-14
MORNING. APPEAL
SATURDAY. NOVEMBER IA
THE REASON.

Our youthful morning con-
temporary is already complaining
OF the fact that Carson advertisers
are not putting forth the neces-
sary effort to make their business
boom.
The reason of this seems to
need some explanation. The reg
ulsr merchants of this city have for
several years found a morning and
evening newspaper in which they
were able to do all the adver Using
necessary.
Carson is not a large town and
a third paper is OF no more use
than the fifth wheel of a coach,
a fact which has been over and
over again demonstrated in this
section.
The reason advertisers are not
in rush to fill the columns of our
contemporary with paying adver-
tisements, is simply because the
community is beginning to realize
the fact that if Geo. Thaxter, Tren-
NOR Coffin and Sardis Summer
field want a personal organ in this
city, they ought to be willing to
pay for it. Certainly they cannot
expect the public to do 80.

The Truth.

The Sacramento Bee has the
following about Patti.
The following dispatch in the
Sunday papers contains no news to
people on the coast.
London. Novembr = Musical
gossip declares that PATHS Voice
has begun to show unmistakable
signs of failing. They allege that
the Diva can no longer reach the
high notes she formerly took with
such brilliant ease. Be this as it
may, there is no doubt that in the
Albert Hall concert last evening
the high notes were avoide1 or at
least nmited, by the songstress.
The last time that Patti sang in
San Francisco, it was noticeable
that her every score had to be re-
writtenei to suit her weakened
voice, and yet pages of slQsh were
published concerning her in the Bay
papers, in none OF which was any
reference made to her woefully
failing powers. 1t remained for
the Bee to obtain from u thorough
ly musical artist-who was and
shall be pamcless-a most excel
lent estimate Of the diva's echo of
a great voice, in which the entire
truth was plainly and courteously
told. And now this fact is pub
lishei in London and wired to San
Francisco as being something
marvellous. It can scarcely be
possible that the critics at the Bay
were unaware Of this fact when
Patti sang here last. Can it be that
business Office considerations unit
ed not only to suppress the truth
from musical columns, but even
insisted that fresh hymns of praise
be sung over a voice that has
heen?

The recent elections resulted in
q drawn battle with the result in
favor Of the Republicans, because
the recovery from the Waterloo of
last year has been tremendous.
The Democrats, to be suro, elected
four out Of five governors, and
while the Republicans tried 10 re-
cover four out of five and failed in
three cases, they are still one
Governor better off than they were
last year, and the election of Ma
jor Mckinley in Ohio, evidencing
as it does that where the issues
were made upon national ques-
tons, the Republicans won, Is
more significant than all the DEM
ocratic victories In other States
put together.

National Repatriation.

WASHINGTON. April 24.-At the de-
partment of justice ingenuity is at
work to establish a system of national
registration which will make as nearly
impossible as may be any future ques-
ton of citizenship. such as has arisen
in connection with the Italian incident
at New Orleans. Solicitor General
Taft was asked this afternoon if it
would be practicable to keep 4 regis
ter of the persons n~aturalized in this
country at the department of justice
so that the federal government. con-
gress, the courts or any private citizen
could. without delay or expense. de-
termine the question Of citizenship of
any n claiming to be or not have
been naturalized.
Yes" said the general solicitor.
'.such a thing is not only practicable,
but a good suggestion, and think it
should be suggested to congress. 1t
could be accomplished by making it
compulsory for officers who administer
naturalization papers to forward a sy-
nopsis or memorandum of the personal
statement of the citizen EaturaliZed to
this department. We could issue the
officers a uniform card of small size
and with brief blanks to be filed and
these could be FLED here in a compact
and permanent way so that any one at
q moments notice could ascertain
whether any person had or had not
been naturalized. and if so when,
where and something as to nationality
birth, age and SO forth. 1t could
be kept in form similar to the military
records being kept on cards at the war

Last Straw for Lotteries.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The lottery
companies received a black eye at the
treasury department which, it is
thought will have the effect of driving
them out of business. Having been
debarred from using the United States
mail, branches of lottery companies
which formerly did business in the
United States have been established in
Mexico. Under the law print matter
from Mexico cannot be refused entry,
and each month lottery tickets have
been presented at the customs houses
along the Mexican frontier for admis-
sion into the United States. They have
heretofore been admitted without cues
ton, but Assistant Secretary Spaulding
has hit upon a novel plan to prevent
their coming into this country. He
has decided hat there is no law to pre-
vent lottery tickets from being admit
ted as printed matter. but he i%nstructs
the customs officers to assess duty upon
them at the rate of 25 per cent ad
valorem of their face value, under par
agraph 423, schedule Nj, of the McKin-
ley bill, which provides for this rate of
duty upon all printed matter not espec-
tally provided for. Tickets of the
value of $40 under this decision will
have to pay 81 SO customs duty. This
high rate of duty will. it is thought,
practically prohibit their importation.
Being debarred from the United States
mail and from express companies and
transportation lines. the lottery COM
panies will find it difficult to dispose of
their wares in the United States. The
case came up in connection with the
importation Of tickets Of the Juarez
Mexican lottery company.

PARIS, April pa dispatch to

his report on the New Orleans affair,
expresses the belief that there is no
way out of the situation. as the federal

the satisfaction demanded.
Camille Dreyfus. editor of LIE Nation
and member of the deputies. presided
yer alarge meeting of his constituents,
called to refute the charges of black
mail brought against him by NJ. Blank
Of Monte Carlo. The meeting was
one succession of quarrels, and finally
Dreyfus, jumping from the platform,
began to thump one of the electors who
had been most prominent in interrupt
ing him. A free fight followed, and
matters were made so lively for Drey-
fus that he escaped from the hall by a
back window. After this the meeting

resign.

What VIZ. Gould Thinks.

New YORK. April 27.-Jay Gould
appeared down town Saturday morning
and seemed to be in excellent health.
He talked freely about his western trip
and said he found his roads every
where in good condition. He believes
that the financial situation OF the
United States is better than that of any
other country in the world. He had
never seen so promising an outlook for
crops.
The general railroad situation looks
we'll" he said. Threatening legisla-
ton has passed away. The interstate
commerce law has done a great deal of
good and much evil. The long and
short haul clause of the interstate law
is one of its Objectionable features.
Another objection is that it seems to
be in the interest of the strong roads.
l am in favor of the plan and purpose
of the Western Traffic association.
Regarding the charges Of rate cutting
l do not understand that the Missouri
Pacific railroad cut rates any lower
than did other roads. 1t vas neces-
sary to meet competition at once and
to protect its traffic" .

Jack the Ripper in America.

NEW YORK, April 25.-"Jack the
Ripper" is believed by the police to
have at last come to this city. Yes
terday morning in the East River ho-
tel the body of a wretched woman was
found with her abdomen horribly cut
and her bowels protruding. Her name
is not known. The resort in which
the body was found is one of the low
est in the city. 1t is located on the
southeast corner of Catherine and Mar
ket streets. The woman was known
about the neighborhood as one of the
half drunken creatures who hang about
the low resorts of Water street and
Riverside. She came to the hotel last
night in company with a man who reg
istered as Knickloi and wife. The
couple were assigned to a room on the
upper floor and went to it at once.
Nothing was seen Or heard of them
during the night. No cry or unusual
noise was heard. This morning the
attendant raped at the door of the
room occupied by the couple. There
was no answer and he raped again
with no better result and finally broke
in the door. A horrible sight met his
gaze. On the bed lay the woman in a
big pool of blood. She had been dead
for hours. Her abdomen had been
fairly ripped open with d dull, broken
table knife that lay in the pool of blood.
The viscera had been cut. and from
appearances a part a missing. The
woman's head was bandaged. A cloth
had been tied about her neck and face,
but whether for any foul purpose or to
hide any other traces of murder the
attendant did not wait to see.
