Abusing the Dead

From the Nashville American
The beast is dead. Old Ben But

the devils orders, took him from
earth and landed him in hell. In
NIL the Southeran country there are

lie lived only too long. We are glad
he has at last been removed from
earth and even pity the devil the
possession he has secured. If there
be a future of peace in store for Ben
Butler after his entrance upon eter-
nifty. then there is no heaven, and
the Bible is n lie. IL hell be only as
black as the good book describes it,
then there are not the degrees of
punishment in which some Chris
tians so firmly believe. He has gone,
and from the sentence which has
aleady been passed upon him there
Is no appeal. In our statute book
many holidays are deereed. 1t was
an cgregious oversight that one on
the occasion of the death of Ben
Butler was not foreordained. 1t
should be n day of meTy-making.
The Beast is dead The tymbals
should beat and the tin horn should
get in It's cvultant work.

Here is what Peter Cooper, who died
worth many millions, raid Of a newapa-
per. In all the towns where a news
paper is published every man should
advertfes in it, if nothing more than a
card stating his name and business he
is engaged in. 1t not only pay, the ad-

Oornered by 0 Coyote.

1t was Conductor Tom Berry on No. Z
and be had a brakeman who r~ejoices in
the name OF Murphy and Thomas at
th.t. They had to double" Oreana
and T. Murphy was sent up the hill
with the first cut. 1t was cold at that
altitude and as brakeman Murphy is
thin he tried to drive away the shivers
by building a fire in the sage brush.
The bright blaze attracted a wandering
coyote which made for the fire and
caused T. Murphy to seek security on
the masthead of a box car where he was
found nealy frozen by the conductor
when the latter came up with the
second cut. 7. Murphy could not be
prevailed upon to touch ground again

University, Mrs. Mary N. Emery of
the Normal Department and Professors
Bray and Eide of the public schools
leave here this morning for Carson to
meet with others to outline u general
course of study for the schools of the
State.
The purpose of the meeting i. good.
Something certainly needs to be done
to bring the schools OF different Sec
tons into a condition Of unison Of
effort in reference to the work in most
of the common school branches.
The High Schools, too, ought to be
put on II footing Of substantial equality
so that their graduates might advan
tageously enter the Stale University.
The Reno High School seems ready
for the right kind Of work. Will other
High Schools stand in?-Journal.

s~eatty's pianos and organs,

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, the great Or
gan and Piano man of Washington, N. j.,
is buster than ever. In 1870 Nj. Beatty
left home a penniless pillow boy, and by
his indomitable will he has worked his
way up SO as to sell so far, nearly 100, 900
OF Beatty's Pianos and Organs since 1870.
Nothing seems to d~ishearten him obsta-
cles lay in his way that would have
wrecked an ordinary man forever; he
turns to an advertisement and comes out
OF 1t brighter than ever. His instru-
ments are in USE everywhere. We are
informed that during the lex ten years
he intends to sell 200, 900 more OF his
make. That means a business of 500
O0O,OJ0, if we average them at 500 each.
1t is already the largest business of the
kind in existence. Read his advertise
ments.

WILL THE JOCKEYS sTRIKEs
Rumor that They VIII Not Ride Unles.
They Can Have Wallets.

President james G. X. Lawrence Of the Coney
Island Jockey Club received word from an
authentic source yesterday that a number of
the jockeys licensed by the Board Of Control
had held a meeting on Saturday night. and that
they had decided to mako trouble because the
Board of Control passed n resolution on Satur-
day that in future riders would not be permitted
to have Wallets to assist them in dressing and to
carry their accoutrements from track to track.
For years the valet system has been one Of
tho abuses OF the turf. and the Board OF Con-
troll has threatened on one or two occasions
to leGlslate in tho matter. At the recent m eet-
ing Of the New York Jockey Club the valet OF
Sims who rides for the Rancocas Stable, killed
the attendant OF Overton. the Jockey under
contract to Gideon Il Daily. This. no douht.
was the final argument in favor OF the aboi-
tion OF the valet system.
1t was reported that the jockeys would refuse
on strike. and stop the races. This sounds very
pretty. but nearly every boy is under contract
and gould be taken into court. Besides the
Board Of Control would. il 1t has a particle OF
nerve. show the jockeys where they stood in an
instant by ruling them of even though owners
should be compelled to put stable boys In the
saddle for the present. 1t is safe to say that
there will be no strike to-day. and that Jockeys
will find the attendants furnished by the club
able to cater to their wants
