The Keynote of Halls and Churches.

DR.. Ephraim Gutter is credited with the
statement that every hall or church has its
keynote, and the audience will hear better
if the speakers voice is pitched and held to
the keynote of the room. To find the key

and smoothly, or play this scale on piano

The Cry of Earthquake" S.nmpedes the
Children In Charleston.
Charleston, s. c.. December 6.-(Spe-
cal.) The old Earthquake City had an
excitement today caused by II panic in
one of the public schools. The incident
occurred in the main room Of the Bennett
school. one of the largest public school
buildings in the city. Shortly after the
noon recess while the pupils were in
the main room one of them, Il little girl,
was seized with a ConyulSon; there was
n quick gathering around her of the
teachers. The other pupils became ex-
cited, some one shouted "carthQuakc!'
and then all discipline was at an cud.
Tho panic spread through the building
and despite the efforts of the teachers
there was II wild stampede for the exits.
Children were thrown down, tramplcd
upon and books and states and clothing
torn and scattered around in all directions.
A great shrek was heard and the news
quickly spreading throughout the city and
soon brought crowds of friends and pa
rents to the scene. The exits from the
building arc ample, however, and
very few moments the 1000 or more
pupils were en- tho streets.

MI<I1ING ~ NEVADA.
Other Reasons Given Why 1t DOES Not
Prosper.

Following his statement Of short time
since, as to why mining does not pay in
Nevada, General Robert NJ. Clarke in
the Reno Gazette now submits this.
The blight upon mining is not wholly
due to foolish State laws and dishonest
management. Other causes, the most
fragrant and oppressive are the discrimi.
nations and eXtortions of public carriers
The railroad companies delivering freight
in Nevada discriminate between indi.
viduals and localities, and extort rates
grossly unreasonable, in excess of fair
compensation, and OF the rates charged
! by carriers in other localities. The
charges for hauling freight from Ogden to
Elko, distance of 276 miles, are greater
than the charges for hauling similar
freight from Ogden to San Francisco a
distance of 500 miles. The average rate
per mile in the former case is more than
five times greater than the latter. In
some cases the charge for hauling from
San Francisco to Reno, distance of BOG
miles, is greater than the charge for haul
ing from san Francisco to New York, a
distance of more than 5000 miles. The
rates charged bear no Just relation to the
service performed, but are graduated by
competition, favoritism, prejudice, and
what the traffic will bear Local rates
bear no proportion to through rates, and
are exacted in utter disregard of the cost
Of the haul. The people of Nevada are
charged five cents mile for travel,
while the people of California arc charged
but three cents "A mile Shippers in Ne.
yada pay
MORE THAN DOUBLE THE FREIGHT
per mile than the people of California
pay, and in some cases more than ten
times the fright paid in other localities
for the same service. If rates of freight
were made reasonable, and diacrmina-
tion prevented, this alone would revive
our industries. The supplies which the
people of Nevada consume primarily come
from the east The great bulk Of them
are transported by rail from eastern mar
kets through Nevada to San Francisco.
