A Conscientious Nevada Judge.


Aconscientious judge adorned the Nevada
bench, says G. G, Goodwin in the Comstock
Club, In his court suit involving the title to
some mining ground was pending between two
companies. In another part of the district the
judge had some claims which were looked upon
as mere wild cat" He had for year been
trying vainly to raise money to open his claims.
He had Incorporated with 1000 shares and
held them at 81 each, with the understanding
that 20 per cent. Of the money received for
But nobody would buy. One night quite late
the judge heard a soft knock on his chamber
door. 1t was the president of the company
that was plaintiff in the mining suit.
Il was looking at your claims over on the
East Side, Judge he said. and believe they
are good. l would like some of the stock"
The judge cheerfully sold him $4,000 worth.

transaction had better be kept secret for the

"Of course" agreed the Iltgant.
A few days later the jurist met the superin-
tendent Of the defendant company and talked
stock to him. giving the opinion that II he
bought about $4,000 worth he would do we'll
The superintendent saw the point and invested.
The judge deposited in bank $4,000 of the
$4,000 to his own account and $4,000 to the
credit of his company.
Judgment was given for plaintiff, and the
superintendent of the losing company went
wild and declared everywhere that the judge
was bribe-taking thief. His honor presently
sent for both men and informed them that q
big deposit OF ore had been struck in his mine
He was therefore able to pay dividend of 81
share. and handed each of the astonished in
vestors a check for $4,000. In few days the
3ine was sold for 5000, 900. and the judge hon
orably gave each Of his two stockholders $50
900.

Let "the Boys" Go to Griffin.

1t would be very unfortunate IL any
military company Of this city should fail to
secure the necessary number of men to 60
into encampment at Griffin next week.
The penalty for failure 10 90 into encamp-
nient is disbandmsnt, and Adjt Gen. Kell
ia strict in enforcing the law. And he
should be. The law is intended to bring
the state troops up to an efficient standard,
which cannot be done if it is disregarded
The reported indisposition on the part Of
employers TO grant employees the necessary
leave Of absence to attend the encampment
is to be regretted, and it is to be hoped that
they may be constrained to change their
minds before 1t is too late. In granting
such leave to their men they would be act
ing in their own interest. The presence of
well organized and properly trained militia
in a community is a safeguard the
value of which can hardly be
estimated. In time of riot, strikes
or unusual disturbances, the militia
is quickly called upon to protect lives
and property, and the response is
invariably prompt and effective. 1t has
not been very long since the need of mill
tary was demonstrated in Savannah.
IN emergencies it is the employers who
are first to call for the military, and
their employees, organized into a body that
commands the immediate attention and
respect OF mobs that might be disposed to
take life and destroy property, can always
be depended upon for protection. Now,
these protectors are the men the state pro-
poses to instruct in military discipline and
| maneuvers at the encampment, in order
that they may be better prepared than ever
| In case of need.
Look on the other side of the picture a
moment. Suppose, because the young men
| were not allowed to attend the encampment
the military organizations in the city should
be disbanded. Then suppose any Of the
thousand and one possible causes should
precipitate a riot in the streets, and the
rioters should be disposed to violence and
all sorts OF criminal acts. There would be
no competent.force to oppose them; the
| police would be comparatively powerless
and the city would be at the mob's mercy.
There is no warrant that such a state of
| affairs may not occur,
There is still another argument in favor
of sending the young men to the encamp-
ment. Employers lose nothing by giving
faithful employees a short holiday during the
warm weather. The rest and temporary
change Of occupation that the encampment
affords would send the young men
back to Savannah refreshed and in splendid
trim to do better work and more of it than
when they went away.
The time of the encampment is short
only one week. Give the young men a
chance.

A Novel MaIarial Cure.

A reputable and honored citizen living on the
North Side in the vicinity Of Lincoln park had a
terrible experience yesterday, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
His wife became suddenly i'll and he immedi-
diately called up the family physician by tele-
phone.
subscriber-My wife complains of severe
pain at the back of her neck and occasional
nausea.
Doctor-She must have malaria.
Observation-Disclosures the best thing to doY'
AT that moment the young lady at the central
station altered the switch by mistake, and the
unlucky husband eived the reply of a me
chanical engineer in answer to the inquiries of a
mill owner regarding his boiler.
Engineer-I believe she is lined with excoria-
tions to o considerable thickness. Let her cool
during the night, and in the morning before fir
ing up take hammer and pound her vigor-
ously. Then get q garden bose with strong
pressure from the main, and let it play freely
on the parts affected.
The doctor may count on at least one patron
short.

Where Do They Get M,lkP"

Little Daisy had pet cat, to which she was
90 devoted that her anxious mother feared her
affection was excessive and undertook to lessen
it, says the Baltimore NeUs
MY dear" she said, you love your pussy
too much. What would you do if she were to
die, and you would never see her sgain?"
20, yes, mamma, replied the little one, con
fidently;. Il would see my pussy again when I
went to heaven"
mo. Daisy" said the mother "animals have
no souls, and when they die that is the end of
them. They cannot go to heaven like people ="
This attack on the childish theology was too
much for Daisy. Her eyes filed with tears, but
suddenly the littls face frightened, and she ex-
claimed triumphantly: Animals do 90 to
heaven, for the Bible says the promised land is
flowing with milk and honey, and il there are
no animals In heaven, where do they get the
milk ~

It Ratified Jefferson,

WAS ever broken up on the stage!" said
Joseph Jefferson recently In the presence of q
New York Advertiser writer. in answer TO a
query on that point. WELL I can recall one
instance that fingers wildly in my memory,
although 1t happened years ago.
1--WE were playing Rip through the south,
and in the course of our travels we encountered
Columbus, Ga. The local theater was nothing
running directly down the center of it, and the
stock scenery included only a pair of very queer
prison wings and a lot of odd flats.
Our production of Rip in those days was
confined to the George III. inn sign and the
shutter on which Rips score is chalked up
These we carried with us, but for everything
else in the line of scenery and stage setting we
depended upon the house at which we played.
Five minutes upon the sta re of the Column
bus theater showed us that brilliant display of
inventive genius and some rapid work would be
necessary in order TO ring up the curtain at
night.
my son Charlie took the matter in hand, and
at $3.50 O'Clock that evening the first act began
in scene that looked more like distant view
of Pittsburg than the village Of Falling Water.
Rips home in the second was represented by
palace interior left behind by some defunct
opera company, but the mountain scene in the
third was at least plausible in its appearance.
''rhe rocks, though, that were about the stage
were the squarest that had ever seen, and a
suspicion arose in my mind that these geological
specimens had been procured from the nearest
grocery store The act progressed admirably
until / sank down after taking the sleeping POI
ton, and the ghosts of Hendrck Hudsons
crew, all OF whom wore very long cloaks, began
to move off.
Then followed a series OF slams. and, care
fully opening one eye, took in the situation.
Three cloaks had caught the edges of the before
mentioned very square rocks and turned them
over
Emerald Household Soap Is the Best was
the legend that one of them displayed, Mac
Entee's Yeast adorned the second and the an
nouncement. You Can't Beat Collins Canned
Goods, was on the third.
The audience. evidently thinking it was all
part of the play, sat interested silence as the
curtain slowly descended to the strains of the
Midsummer Nights Dream
las for me, almost became hysterical."

Unreliable Figures.

The Hill organ OF Atlanta has excellent
reasons for being greatly displeased with its
correspondents in different parts of the
state. Day after day it published table
showing how many Hill delegates and how
many Cleveland delegates had been elected
to the state convention. Those who relied
upon the table felt quite certain that there
was an overwhelming Hill sentiment in
Georgia, and that the state convention
would send Hill delegation to the Chicago
convention. How profoundly Disguised
they will be this morning when they read
in ell the Georgia daily papers that the
state convention was against Senator Hill
by very large majority.
The Hill organ cannot be blamed, Of
course, for the incorrect information its
table contained. Its wicked correspondents
are to blame. But how is it that they were
80 far from the truths Did they guess at
the preferences of the delegates in their
respective localities or did they say, in all
cases in which there were no positive in
ssruotions, that the delegates favored Hill,
simply because they thought such state
ment would be agreeable TO the paper they
represented
Whatever the explanation may be Of the
way the Hill organ was led into sending
abroad statement so far from the facts,
it will certainly give its readers a surprise
this morning when it shows them In Its
report of the conventions proceedings that
! Senator Hills friends, instead OF
being in the majority. were greatly in the
minority. Figures can be made TO be very
| misleading.

There are few things more generally COM
monplace and prosaic than mud. Even its
name is against 1t. But an incident recently
occurred at Reading. Pa, which shows that
mud can sometimes be sublime. Charles
Gross, an intoxicated gentleman. while
trying to walk high railroad bridge made
a misstep and tumbled into the river, head
first. The fall was from hight sufficient
to dash mans brains out. But the soft
hearted and yielding Pennsylvania mud at
the bottom of the river received the impact
of his falling body. embraced him about
the neck head DOWN. and held him safe for
ten minutes until help arrived. Was not
that an act of heroism, to save from hor-
rible death man incapable of taking care
Of himself?

Flower,s Lightning Rod.

1t Is pretty we'll understood in New York
that Gov. Flower has put up presidential
lightning rod, with the hope that IL Mr..
Cleveland is not nominated, the presiden-
tial lightning may be drawn in his direc-
ton. ALI the indications are, however, that
he has gone to unnecessary trouble. The
New York men who are supporting Mr..
Cleveland do not favor him as a second
choice. In fact, they are as hostile to him
as they are to Senator Hill, and It is given
out that they will make their opposition to
him very clear at the May convention.
There is no reason, they say, for thinks
ing that Mr.. Flower would be an accepta-
BILE candidate to the Cleveland faction. He
has not developed any qualities since he has
been governor that particularly commend
him to the people. 1t is probable that he
would be acceptable TO Tammsny. 1t is
reported that some Of the Tammany leaders
have approached the leaders OF the Cleve-
land movement with the view Of finding out
whether he would be acceptable to them
but they met with no encouragement.
1t is highly probable that if Mr.. Cleve-
land Is not nominated no New York man
will be. A western man probably would
be the nominee. 1t looks now, however, as
il Mr.. Cleveland would be nominated with
out much Of a struggle. It seems to be the
wish of the party in nearly all parts of the
country that he shall be the party's stand
ard-bearer Nearly all the delegates that
have been chosen thus far are either in
structed for him or can be depended upon
to support him. There does not seem to be
much reason, therefore. to talk about dark
horses, aud from the present outlook it
wouldn't be safe TO risk anything upon Gov
Flower.

Magnitude of the Pension Iniquity.
Fronl The Nelp York World DEM.


The pension list is mounting fast toward the
100000 mark. On April there were on the
rolls, S27, 267 names. OF these over a quarter
of million 1855, 44S) we're Added in the past ten
months most of them under the pauperizing
pension act. At this rate OF increase there will
be 10000 of pensioners drawing substance
from the taxpayers on Jan. next. This is
twice the number of the great standing army
of Germany in time of peace. 1t is
nearly equal to the combined armies
OF Germany, Italy and Austria Hungry.
The pensioners will at the beginning
of next year be one in twelve of the voters of
the entire nation, north and southland this
nearly thirty years after the close of the war.
The appropriation for next year is already
twice as much as the entire cost of the govern
ment in the year before the war. Merely to
give these official figures is to convict congress
of dishonor TO true soldiers, OF injustice TO
needy and deserving veterans and OF reckless
robbery in the name OF patriotism such as the
world never saw before congress will be

New York dispatches concerning political
affairs have Of late contained mention of the
doings OF the "anti-snappers. The ''anti-
snappers" are the mugwumps" of the
Democratic party who protest against
Senator Hills SNAP" convention of Feb %.
"Mugwumrs" was applied to the independ-
emit republicans who bolted the party in
1884. 1t was first used in derision Of the
faction, but has since come into very general
use, even by the members OF that faction.
The "anti-snappers" Of '92 oppose Hill as the
"mugwumps" of 'S4 opposed Blaine. Anti
snappers" is perhaps the oldest name ap-
piled to political organization since the
days Of the "barn-burners" and "knoW
nothings."
