Wedding Bells.

At the residence of Conductor Frank
loft at five O'Clock last Monday Mr.. G.
O. Porter and Miss Minnie Larsen were
united in the holy bonds of matrimony
by Rev. w. B. Pope OF the Baptist
church of Reno.
Miss Annie Larson acted as brides
maid and the groom was supported by
Ross Christensen.
Quite a number of the friends OF the
happy couple were present, and among
those from a distance were: Mrs. Joshua
Porter, Horace Porter, Mrs. Jesse Porter,
Mr.. and Mrs. Melt Boarden, Mr.. Joe
Jackson, of Washoe City, Mr.. Samuel
Fransden, of Verdi, and the Misses
Pixley OF Essex.
The young couple departed on the even.
ing train for San Francisco and they will
spend the honeymoon visiting points o.
interest on the Coast.
The bridegroom is q native OF Nevada
born and raised at Washoe City. He is
a man Of exemplary habits and is popu-
lar among a large circle OF acquaintan'
ces.
The bride is a young lady who has
won for herself a host OF friends during
her STAY at Wadsworth and we congratu-
late Mr.. Porter in securing such a life
mate.
Upon their return they will occupy
the residence that Mr.. Porter has pre-
Jared and their presence will be quite an

Peculiarisms of Mankind.

How true and yet how strange it is
that few people are ever wholly content
with their situation and surroundings
in life. So universal is this show OF dis
content and apparent feeling of envy OF
which each seems to regard as the supe-
rior advantages of others, that we may
be justified in considering it as one of
the natural characteristics of the human
mind.
The child looks forward with impa-
thence to the time when it shall have
attained its majority; the school girl
looks with envy upon the delightful time
which she thinks the young lady in So
ciety must surely enjoy the society girl
is jealous OF the married lady with 8 rich
husband, while the married lady, per-
haps longs for the unrestrained freedom
Of the school girl.
The rich business man, constantly strug-
Cling to retain what he has and to acquire
more, longs for that which to him,
seems the easy and contented life OF the
professional mar or the mechanic; while
the latter, ever ~envious Of the rich, har-
Dor a feeling of regret that they did not
adopt some other profession or calling.
City people think there is no place
like the country, while country people
believe that city folks enjoy more than
their full share Of the pleasures of this
life.
And 90 we find. that, by reason of this
universal feeling of dissatisfaction, I'M
easiness and discomfort, there is kept up,
among all mankind, a perpetual desire
for change.
The most of this discomfort comes
| from tho foot thot nnnnta rnoIn chair
comparisons in the wrong direction and
measure their surroundings by the
wrong standards. If instead OF looking
forward to those whom they fancy are
able to ear better and finer clothes and
whose houses are more elegantly
furnished, they would but turn in the
opposite direction and contemplate the
condition of the many thousands of their
less fortunate neighbors, they might
perhaps, be able to view their own sur
roundings in a different light, and be
content to lot well enough Alone"
Nevertheless, without this never ceas-
ing desire of mankind + better their
condition, the human race would re-
lapse into barbarian. If the world was
filled with retired merchants and mil
lionaires, civilization would of necessity
die OF luxury,
1t seems to me that if each individual
could be made to realize that any useful
station in life, however humble, is quite
as honorable as any other; and, that,
while some are exalted, countless thou
sands are, of necessity, moro or less hum
BILE that alone the top round of fame's
ladder is valueless, and that the man
who holds the ladder at the bottom is
frequently of more service than he who
is stationed at the top; there would be
more individual contentment and the
race much more prosperous and happy.
In short, we might all be moro CON
tented and much more happy by follow
ing the advice OF the poet:
"If thorns will grow whore roses bloom,
1t cannot be prevented,
So make the best OF life you can;
And smile and be ~contented."

A man read a scandalous piece out of a

Great Jumps of Light.


Those who were at the bicyc1ers' rest
on the Playstead during part of last
evening witnessed most peculiar and
beautiful sight. A huge decayed tree
had succumbed to the gale, and sudden
ly at its uprooting and fracture the
ground all around it blazed up in lumi-
nous phosphorescentl light. The trees and
shrubbery all about were filled with gem
like shining particles of the flying phos-
phorus charged decayed wood. There
were Jumps of it lying around bigger
than the famous Kohinoor, and as a
scene it really looked as though dia-
mond mine had suddenly been unearthed
by the uprooting of the tree. Many PEG
pie took specimens home with them,
which all night remained luminous, but
this morning the luminosity had almost
entirely passed away. The scientific
reason for all of this can probably be
explained by the theory of decay, but
the sight was one that it is not likely
those who witnessed it will ever in q
lifetime again behold.-Boston Tran
script.

The continuation of the $40 rat

The continuation Of the $40 rate
to the worlds fair is great boon to
hundreds who have held off from at

have a good view of the fair, if he is
willing to put up with some little in
convenience. Rooms are plentiful
and meals can be had for % cents.
There is no need to pay eXtortionate

THE NEW THEATRE.

P. Clauson, of Minneapolis, scenic
artist. has the scenery for the Man
kato Theatre in place. 1t was given
a test last night in the presence OF
few invited guests. including FREE
PRESS representatives and all agree
that the scenery cannot be eXcelled
anywhere. The system OF rolling up
instead of sliding to one side mas
been adopted and gives far greater
satisfaction.
The beautiful curtain is a treasure
in itself and if it does not delight a
Mankato audience we are mistaken.
There are no advertisements to look
at, but most perfect harmonlzlng
of beautiful colors in pleasing designs,
about lifelike painting in the center
representing a scene of the eighteenth
century.
When the curtain rolled up, mag
nificent woodland scene presented IT,
self, with a river exposing its placid
surface between the f.liage on its two
banks. A person can almost feel the
scented breeze from the woods. Inen
came an ocean scene with the broad
expanse of blue as far as the eye
could reach, and in the immediate,
foreground the surf breaking upon
the rocks. 1t is exceedingly realistic.
A street scene followed, with variety
of houses, looking like a street in old
Vienna depcted in Midway at the
worlds fair. A kitchen was then IL
Illustrated, and parlor. Then came
bridge across a river that wound us
course through wide landscape with
background of mountains. Finally
came a mountain scene, with DASH
ing stream in the foreground be-
tween rocks and crags, and dead ana
living pines scattered about. Back OF
this arose bleak mountains, and still
further back were snow capped peaks
penetrating the very sky.
In all of the scenery the artlstlc
work is above criticism and no better
scenery was ever brought to this city.
The side and overhead pieces add TO
the general effect and there is moth
ing to detract the attention.
The decorations Of the theatre are
completed and the house is what we
have said it would be, perfect gem.
The general effect is light buff. now
considered in all large cities as the
most tasteful. The box draperies
will be put on at once and will harmo'
nize with the building. The seats
are nearly all down, and it can be
easily seen that the parquet will be
the most popular, with the front bal
cony rows close second. The latter
seats are the only ones upholstered.
The parquet seats are large and com
: Portable. The prices will be $50, STE
and $1.00.
The reflector over the parQuet is
very pretty and throws a powerful
light. The building will be well light
ed and we'll heated, five furnaces do
ing the latter work The house will
probably be filed on the opening
night, Saturday of this week. The
last finishing touches will be put or
then and everything will be in read
mess. A number of first class enter
tainments have been secured for thu
fall and winter.
