A FUND Eok MAS. CASSIDY.
Ono Big silver IolIar from Every
Man In Nevada.

a gentleman from the western D lrt
OF the State called 1t the Neus office
. few days ago and during conversa-
tion on general matters the subject Of
che sudden death OF Hon. George w.
Cassidy tame up. Our friend from
the West told us the saddost feature
about his death WAS that his widow
was left penniless, Mr.. Cassidy hav-
ing NO insurance on his life. Our
friend intimatsd that it would be
graceful aud grateful act for the poo
pie of Nevada to raise fund by pub
lie subscription for the widow, and
asked tho editor A tho Ne,os il he
would take the initiative in the mat
tor aud start a subscription list.
We told our friend from tho West
that his idea was good and We heart
ilv approved Of his plan, but thought
it were better to start the movement
in moro csrtral and pop lous local.
ity, bat he is,sisted We should take
The initiative and start the subscrip.
ton. .sa
Before laying our plan for raising
the fund before the public it is in
place to say that MIR. Cassidy in his
life time was a generous, open-hearted
man, always ready with purse and pen
to contribute to every good work. He
was the ablest champion of the miner,
the mechanic aud the working GLASS
generally the State has ever had. His
voice, pen and press was ever ready to
uphold the right and condemn the
wrong, oven whom it was financial loss
to the paper he conducted. No one
Knows all thisbetter than the brethren
of the press of Nevada, and to them
we would submit the plan for raIsing
fund for tho widow.
One big silver dollar from every
man in the State who can afford and
never iniss IL would make q fund of
$4,000, which would place the widow
beyond present or future want. This
would be practical way of showing
our appreciation of tho WORTH and 90.
TEEN in which we hold our departed
friend and fellow citizen. We believe
thore il not man ia Nevada who
would nO& cheerfully give dollar to
such fund.
Now, our plan is thiR: We would
ask every newspaper in the State to
act as solicitor and &eOal treasurer fct
the fund.
We would suggest George s. Nixon,
'sf the !SilUef Stale and cashier OF the
First National Bank of Winkemucea
act as general treasurer, TO VIII ON
local treasurers will report ard remit
Whatsay our brethren OF tho press!
Will yoa take hold and second oul
effort in most worthy caused We
feel confident you will.
The first dollar towards the fund
has been placed in our haR"s by q
J. Boskowiiz, OF San Francisco
White Pine NeDs.
The INDTpESDEET ia heartily in
favor OF tho scheme uf the Ne1cs, and
will recsive and forward TO Mr.
Nixon any subscriptions left ut this
office. As Mr.. Cassidy worked FOL
our interests during his lifetime, and
yielded up his life In behalf OF the
State he loved so we'll, let us con
tribute our mite toward placing hll
widow above PERJURY and want

Der, exhibited considerable affection to-
ward another when ill. But that may
have been due to the civilizing influences
of his society. Generally speaking mon
keys NOPE and seek solitude when sick.
But Sally, the chimpanzee at<the zoo,
during her last illness behaved exactly as
a human being might under similar cir
| cumstances. While the large gibbon in
the next cage, which died just afterward,
retired to the furthest corner, and refused
all assistance, Sally came to the bars in
front, where she could most easily receive
her medicine and food, and took her balsam
of aniseed for bronchitis, as her keepers
dictated. Only when very ill did she retire
to her kennel, and even then would reach
out her hand to the doctor" But there
is not much faith in "physicking'' at the
zoo. Prevention is better than cure
though one bear generally takes castor
OIL which it likes, when suffering from a
bad throat; and very fine bird, the
African hornbill, would allow medicine to
be given to it by its keeper.
A lady visitor was good enough to leave
a prescription to cure the savage Indian
wild dogs of mango. But as she left no
directions as to whether the remedy was
for internal or external application, the
dogs were allowed to cure themselves by
taking sulphur baths'' in straw sprinkled
with the remedy.-London Spectator.

"If anybody thinks it's an easy trick to
learn to be street car conductor he's mis-
TAKEN" said an old conductor who was
breaking in a new man on one OF the
north side cable trains last week. The
candidate for a conductorship was at hard
labor collecting fares as the car went
through the tunnel.
There are scores of things to think of
at once. Most new men get decidedly rat
tied. It's simple thing perhaps to pick
nickels out of peoples hands and not for
get to register the fare, but that's a small
part of conductors task. He must re-
member the passengers face. He must
see that he doesn't get knocked into smith
Greens by a passing car. He must watch
for the old lady who waits until the car
has reached the first crossing before she
signals to stop the car and then gets off
backward, blaming the conductor If she
Is jostled in the process. He must ring
in the fares and jerk the stop and start
bell at the same time. In short, the cable
train conductor must be a man of discre-
ton, not to say brains. Some folks have
fallen into the habit of jumping at the
conclusion that almost any sort of a Junk
head can be a street car conductor. Watch
that new man and see how he perspires
irving to learn the business. He takes it
pretty coolly too. He does better than the
average. 1t takes the average man all the
wayIfrom three days to week to become
competent to manage a car.
every once in awhile man loses his
job by missing fares. For instance. he Is
watching the rear of the car to let off q
passenger and some one slips onto the car
quietly from the other side. AS rule,
people do not remind the conductor that
they have not paid, and many fares are
missed through no fault of the conductor.
A spotter comes along and the conductor
loses his place.
LAS matter of fact there are RESPONSE
bilities even for a street car conductor.
