A gentleman who has often been
out to conventions in different places
says he has found out what badges
are for. They are to designate dele
gates as grcenies, so the residents
can charge them double price for
what they buy. While in a neigh
boring city not long ago he found
that his drinks cost him 25 cents,
and a Las Vegas 10 cent cigar %
cents. Just as a test he took off his
badge and found that he got every
thing in that line at the regular
"hard pan" prices, same as residents.
He now declares badges a delusion
and a snare and says he can not be
caught that way any more.

For the information of the adver-
tiser (?) in last nights Optic we
would say that Tarrytown is in the
state of New York, Westminster Co.,
on the New York Central and Hud-
son river railroad, and is situated q
miles from New York city. 1t has a
population OF 1862 souls, (none of
which is as small as the said adver-
tiser's). 1T publishes three papers
one of which Is the "Tarrytown
Argus" Every item that appears in
the FREE PRESS is true, but mistakes
will sometimes happen even in such
metropolitan Offices as the Optic. If
said advertiser will look up Rowell's
American newspaper directory for
1892, he will find such a place as
TarrYtown mentioned therein.

Hearsey, from the Albuquerque Dem,
ocrat:
After varying fortunes for years
past the well-knOwn Plaza hotel, of
Las Vegas, has passed into the hands
of as good hotel man as can be
found in the west. John Hearsey,so
long and favorably known as man.
ager of Fred Harvey's Santa Fe rail
road eating houses and who, in addi-
ton to his rare business qualities, is
an accomplished gentleman of very
superior social traits, is now the pro-

management its prosperous future is
assured. Las Vegas can now boast
of a first class hotel in all respects,
and such an institution is big factor
in the life of any town.

that In those days dinner tables were
covered by q "nappe" or table cloth.
Upon it was placed a large salt-cel-
lar, bread, and cups for wine, but no

absence Of knives arose from the COM

attached to their girdle. In an early
work, written by Lydgate--Rules
for Behavior at Table'-the guests
are told to bring no knives unsecured
to the table, which can only mean
that each one was to keep his own
knife--that is, the one he carried
with him-clean. Among the ancient

German seaman, who arTivedlessra q
few days ago on the ship Belle U'Brien
tells a remarkable story OF mntiny,

which sailed from Philadelphia, Pa,
for Kobe. Japan.
Schneider went to Commissioner
Shields and toll the following story:
"When Captain Yates was shipping
his crew in Philadelphia" said
Schneider, she took special pains to
engage only foreign seamen. One man
shipped under an assumed name In
ord : that he might be engaged.
H'When we left Philadelphia our
relations were very friendly, but the
further we got from America the
scarcer became the grub. IL finally
got 30 bad that we got only salt meat
and bread. and very little of that.

Captain Yates to keep Turner from Us.
