Feculisritie- of Lisbon Girls.

Miss Batcheller, daughter of the
American minister to Portugal, saws
that the Lisbon girls are beautiful and
attractive, but are very closely guarded,
never appearing unattended in the

Carriage driving of a decorous kind is a
favorite amusement, but the girl who
follows the queens example and ap-
pears on horseback Is regarded as very
advanced in her ideas. The girls play
little tennis in summer, dance and
play cards for amusement in winter.
They are rarely invited To formal din
ners, as their parents are, but appear
at the opera The chief delight of
these delicately-bred and carefully
guarded maidens is the great bull fight

Courts or Cancellation.

necessary and expensive litigation,
In local election a Justice of the
Peace and four Commissioners OF
Condition are to be chosen, two of
whom are to act with a Justice in
hearing testimony and arguments
in civil cases before action is brought
into civil courts. No attorneys are
to be allowed to appear and the chief
testimony is to consist of the state
ments of the principal parties to the
action. The Justice and the Com
missioners are then to try to induce
the contending parties to adjust their
differences On the ground of justice.
Should this effort fail, none of the
proceedings are to form part of the
subsequent litigation. The main OBJ
jects of the courts is to prevent law
suits over small matters. Such
law would be desirable in Nevada.

THE NEVADA EXHIBIT.
Something for our Citizens to be
Proud of.

The Chicago correspondent of the
Chronicle has this to say of the Ne
vada exhibit:
Chicago, May 23.-All the Pacific
Coast States are making splendid
showings in the Mines and Mining
building. White CALIFORNIA; display
is undoubtly the richest of the lot,
those of Monta IA, Nevada and Idaho
occupy equal space and make very
creditable exhibits.
Nevada's end of the show is located
in. the northwest gallery, between
Colorado's big display and that of
Tiffany & Co. of New York. Not
withstandiLg that she has a strong
rival on either side of her, Nevada's
exhibit can well compare with any in
the building that is devoted strictly
to minerals.
Unlike several of the other coast
States, Nevada has no installation
structure, pagoda or pavilion. Per-
haps that is the reason the State was
given space in the gallery, instead of
the main floor. But be that as it
may, the hundreds of splendid speci-
mems of ores, quartz and other min
erals which make I'D the exhibits are
shown off to good advantage within
the thirty or more cases in which they
are displayed.
Perhaps the most interesting
feature of the entire exhibit is the
sand-stones which were re-
Gently discovered III the State and

rom the Comstock region, taken

lumber of pretty crystals of numer-
us varieties, some fine specimens of

nuggets of gold, silver and copper.
taken as a whole the Nevada dis
lay in this building is highly credit
bic, and will no doubt prove
plendid advertisement for the State.

Harry Thaxter stated to Parsol
Davis that he had put poisoned

When the Thaxters learned from thu

to 60 around again among the neigh

poisoned wheat was call josh and
only intended to brighten the Parson.
That the wheat was just the plain

In other words they were finally

strewed the wheat out to entice the
Parsons chickens over where they
could be shot.
Mr.. Thaxter in h $ organ the News

While the. subject is being dis

mention the othe. depredations of the

Thaxter went out with his little gun
on his shoulder and asserting that he
was going up in the fields to kill Mrs.
Nevers' pig. Mrs. Mclaughlin
hearing the children talk of the con
teluplated act, went out and advised
him not to do it.
He said lie would not, and never
intended TO.

few minutes later the report of the
gun was heard, and Mrs. Nevers
found very valuable SOW dead the

The SoutoWorth boys said they
saw Curt shoot the pig. They des-
cribed it as follows:
He shot at the pig, it gave a
squeal, the blood came out of its
mouth and it lay down and died.
A few months ago ball from one
of the Thaxters' guns, went through
a French plate glass window of Mrs.
whose house IS opposite the

obliged to pay for the glass.
