An English View Of Amsriss.

The announcement that an influential
syndicate has been formed in Brixton to
send an expeditionary force of pickpock-
cts to the Worlds fair is little belated.
Gratifying to national pride it will be
no doubt as showing that English spirit
of enterprise still springs fresh and Wig
orous in the Brixtonian breast. But
from the point Of view of commercial
speculation it is to be feared that tho
syndicate has been as completely whipped
by American firms as have all previous
exhibitions by the White City. Consid.
ering that the ashes Of Christopher Co.
lunbus were all but stolen on the very
opening day, and that the car of Rus
sia's jewels and the queen of ItalY's lace
have disappeared outright, we gravely
doubt whether English competition will
have much chance. Obviously native
talent has every advantage of local
knowledge, and though we could see the
adventures cross the Atlantic without
sigh we should advise them in their own
interest to confine their operations to the
narrower sphere Of Brixton.--Pall Mall

WHO OWNS THE MONEY.

A Peculiar Case Involving the Owner
ship OF Fifty Good Dollars.
A peculiar tsngls has grown out of the
crap game case which was up in Justice
Austin's court yesterday afternoon.
Scott, the complaining witness, al
legged that he was swindled out OF $50 in
game of craps by Myers and Stone.
and it is the question of the ownership
of this coin that has caused the trouble.
The money, which consists Of two 90
dollar gold pieces, one fve-dollar piece
and a five-dollar bill, was filed as an
exhibit in the criminal action case.
Shortly afterwards, Scott seeing that
he had no chance to get his money back
through the criminal suit, got out an at
tachment which was served by Conets-
BILE Richardson's.
Stone, learning Of the action Of Scott
and desiring to keep the money within
reach, at once got out a replevin, and
now the question is who does the money
belong to?

To Sue the Rainmakers.

James Butler, Lyon county farmer.
has had papers prepared for very pc
culiar suit. Some weeks since a great
cloudburst in his neighborhood caused
the destruction Of Buffers wheat crop.
A few days later A. B. Montgomery, a
rainmaker, being at Goodland, claimed
to have caused the cloudburst, which
came without warning from the barom-
eter.
Now Butler proposes to make Mont
gomery's rain company pay the damage.
The same storm caused washout on
the Santa Fe line, and terrible wreck
followed, in which an engineer was
killed. The wife of the dead engineer
will also bring suit against Montgomery
for $40 900 damages. Cor. Phil

Grand Opera Under Dimoultsss


The hushinQ down Of applause during
the progress Of Wagnerian opera ap
peared rather to disconcert Mr.. Lassaiie
who, on making his first appearance TIM
season in "The Flying Dutchman" a.
Covent Garden last week, was received
absolutely without hand. Between the
acts, however, he was accorded as much
applause as he could have desired. The
performance of "The Flying Dutchman'
must have been considered q strange ont
by any members of the Wagner party wht
may have been present. Some OF tho
artists, in accordance with italian pre-
cedent, sang to the footlights instead OF
to each other, the band. conducted By
the Italian Mr.. Mancinelli, went at u
with vigor, the drummer particularly
making night of it, while the hitchet
in the stage arrangement were Otter
very laughable.
To see several men walking In thu
trough Of the sea pulling along the 81
gantic phantom ship Of the Dutchman
calling to each other "Get aonrs and
"Whoaw as the vessel from time to tim<
struck on rock, was amusing enough.
Mild wagers were laid that the Flying
Dutchman would never get to land a|
ALL and indeed Mr.. Mancinelli laid dowI
his baton and stopped his band while
the ship was being maneuvered. It wa
not the fault Of Mr.. Lassalle, for ha
clearly could not be expected to wall
the waves. In the last act, too, the shiJ
absolutely refused to smash mp, and 4
was left still swimming the ocean when
the curtain finally fell. London Figaro.

While we are telling snake stories the
following good one comes to us from the
mountain region. MIR. Z. T. Dulin stand
ing as Authority: The country around
Little Big Black mountain is a ginseng
region, and the Parker family are noted
as ''sengers." The girls go out barefooted
in the mountains. though the country is
infested with rattl1nalxes and copper
heads, and dig the ginseng, for which
they get good prices at the stores, from
which it is taken to Pennington gap for
shipment.
But along Clover gap and up Rattle
snake creek thexe are numberless rep
tiles. Beckie Parker is a good girl, about
10 years of age, strong, healthy looking
and handsome, but with a very deter
mined face. She is splendid shot and
often takes her winchester.
She goes after ginseng barefooted and
often alone. The roots are gathered in
May and September, and during the
month just passed she did thriving
business. One day, however, she came
across a den of rattlesnakes. She had
only stones and sticks with which to
fight the desperate battle. Some Of the
snakes were largerOthan a mans arm
and few of them d. larss as the calf Of
a,man's leg. For hours she fought them
as they hissed and wtithed and ratified
around her. But the brave, determined
girl battled with them until she killed
every one that did not succeed in hiding
among the crevices Of rocks and in the
dense underground. When she had
crushed the last one to be seen, she count
ed the dead, and there were just 63.-

disposed to indulge in a controversy
through the newspapers, not that we
have aught against them. but having
confided our case with the courts, we
are satisfied to abide its decision. AS
far as the cases have gone the judges
heretofore have decided in our favor and
we confidently believe they will continue
to do 30.
We are surprised that an attorney
should attempt to discuss through the
press matters which he knows are In
court against him. We do not propose
to follow him, especially when the state
ments he makes are 30 far from being
