Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1893-10-27

By the complexion of things in
Washington yesterday, it would not
be surprising if the proposed amend
ment should be introduced and voted
down; that then a cloture should be
called, and the President have his
way in regard to the repeal of the
purchase clause of the Sherman law.
There is enough of the Bourbon in
him never to forget anything and
never to learn anything. He may
be made 20 believe that this proposed
compromise, having but eleven
months to run, will, in fact, accom-
Plish all he wants, but the possibility
is that when that is presented to him
he will insist that it is no good, and
order the work to be done over
again. We are sure he would do
this if it were not for the election
next month. A. it is, no one en- be
sure Of anything he will do except
that when he gets an opportunity he
will deliver blow at the West every
time.-Salt Lake Tribune.

4 SHAMEFUL AFFAIR.

The women of Stromsbutg, Ne
braska, who decoyed some ALLEGED
erring sisters to the woods, and
there, disguised as white caps and
rutfians, whipped the miserable
creatures numerically, disgraced
themselves more than they did the
women they logged, 1t is shameful
that women who boast of their own
vi'tue should bemean themselves to
such lawlessness. They not only
violated the law, and thereby set for
their sons and daughters a pitiful
example, but they failed completely
to affect anything in the way of re-
formation of the evil complained
of.
If they had taken out the men
who led these creatures to their al
legged ruin, and have logged them,
there would be some grains of SYM
patty due for their cause. But
women is ever unkind to her own
sex; in fact, relentless. Possibly
conscious virtue may become rage
when others bring shame upon the
sex, but that cannot excuse or pal
late the otfense of these female
white caps. They behave like ruff
ans and ought to be punished as are
other criminals. We cannot find
any reason whatever on which to
hinge an excuse for them,
One dispatch speaks of these fe-
male regulators as composing the
Women's Christian Temperance
Union. This was a gratuitous Sian
der on the part of the Geographic re-
porter. The women of that institl-
ton do not deal in whips and thongs.
Their mission Is one of mercy and |
loving kindness, and to couple their |
names with such an outrageously |
disgraceful scene was unwarranted.
The man who sent the sIanderous
dispatch ought to have known bat-
ter, ahd probably is by this time
heartily ashamed of his bIunder-
ing.
Later dispatches repeat the state-
ment that the women were all mems
bers of the local w. c. T. U. If
this be true, it shows how even
noble purposes may be perverted by
and big try. These wom-
EN- have brought shame upon the
with which the. are CON
nected, and the w. G. T should
repudiate them. Record Union.
There is sound reasonir- in the
bove. A little kind raotherly
easoning on the part of the female
regulators would have gone much
further toward accomplishing the
desired result, A chastisement
Usually brings everything bad and
nothing good to the surface in the
nature OF an erring girl. Instead of
putting a stop to wrong doing, the
ear of a repetition of the whipping
5 an incentive to be more secret
bout 1t in future. That is the only
'esult.

FORTY DAYS MORE.
Another Race Meeting to
Begin Tuesday.
The California Jockey Club Has Made
Every Arrangement to Race for
Six Weeks Longer.

mo end of racing now" remarked an old
patron of the racetraek last evening when
the announcement was made that the Cali
fornia Jockey Club had decided upon giving
another forty days racing.
The Blood horse Association has tried the
experiment of holding long rsce-meeting.
and the success of the venture so well
pleased the directors that they have con-
cluded to make California the racing center
of America. To use the words of prominent
bor seman: 1--WE have the finest climate in
the world for racing, and by giving good
purses and inducements we will find no
difficulty in procuring racing stock from all
parts of the country"
The California Jockey Club is of recent
organization.
Its president is T. FL. Williams Jr.. with
Adolph SpreckeIs as vice-president. 1t has
an active board of directors that will push
the interest in horseracing on this coast to
the front.
The new club was doubtful of giving an
other meeting until Ii had made certain of
procuring the services of the well-known
starter, James Rowe, who, until very re-
Gently, held his answer back, fearing BUSH
ness engagements in the East would mill
tate against his Soj0urn in California
during a lengthy race meeting.
eSterdaY howe answered tnat ne would
accept the offer rendered him, and immedi-
ately the new club engaged Colonel Wood
ruff and Clint Riley, the veteran turfmen,
to judge the coming races.
X. Il. Milroy, present secretary Of the
BloOd-horse Association. and his assistant,
Leonard Brough, have been appointed to
corresponding positions in the new organ
iZatioD.
The second series of forty days races
will begin next Tuesday at the Bay Dis
trict track and will continue as in the past,
excepting that on Saturday instead of the
short dashes a long-distance race will be
substituted
The wind-up of the meeting will be q
three-mile handicap race for all ages, for
the California cup and $1,000 added.
The races will be held on Tuesdays,
Thursdays. Fridays and Saturdays.
At the termination of the meeting the
Blood-horse Association will have its
spring programme ready. After this will
come another winters meeting. at which
several Eastern stables will be represented.
The Jockey Club programme will hurt
the Oakland races, which will begin next
week, 10 some extent; but the manager
says that they will go ahead regardless Of
bad weather or opposition.

Passing the Earring.
st. Louis Republic


People often wonder where all the ear
rings 90 or have gone to. a few years ago
the fashion OF wearing these relics of bar
barism was quite general, but now it is the
exception and not the rule to see a we'll
dressed woman with pair. Indeed, the or
naments have been left off so long that
scores Of women who used to wear
them could hardly do so now with
out Inconvenience and pain. But the
pretty toys or gems have not been
thrown way or wasted. Thousands have
been worked up into other and more
fashionable ornaments. Many very hand-
some brooches have been made out of ear
rings which have outlived the fashion, ard
there has been quite large amount of in
genuity displayed in the work so as do away
with any suspicion of second hand in the
reconstructed adOrnments. More than one
pair has been made up into sleeve buttons
ard presented TO a member OF the sterner
sex. and others have been fitted with pins
and used by their fair owners as bat or hair
pins. The best judges In these matters
doubt whether earrings as such will ever be-
come popular again, and il is very unusual
for young women nowadays to have their
ears pierced at all,

A SHARP FORGER.
He Draws Eighteen Hundred Dolla
Er0r,n fha GaAI1os Rnr.I~

He Draws Eighteen Hundred Dollars
From the Sather Bank.
About month ago young man entered
the Sather Banking Company with check
for $1,000. purporting to be signed By Full
ton G. Berry. The check was forgery,
but the forger drew $500 on 1t and de-
camped with the money. The check was
subsequently discovered to be worthless,
but when Berry first saw 1t he thought it
was genuine until he had made a close in
speetion. This shows how cleverly the
work of the forger was done.
When Chief Crowley was spoken to in
regard TO the matter yesterday he said that
the facts of the forgery and the drawing Of
the money were true. but wondered how
the matter had become public lie said the
forgery was well done and that the forger
must have been an expert at the business.
The Chief stated that although several weeks
had passed no trace had been found of the
forgeT. who had appeared to have vanished
into thin air, taking his $500 with him.

SHE BOUGHT A HAT.
An Experience at the MiIIiner's That
Is Often Repeated.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

cincinnati Elq
She was young married woman, accred-
tied with more than ordinary common
sense. AS an illustration of this, she had
waited until after the openings were over
before buying q winter hat. No time had
been lost, however, for she had studied the
hat question in all its phases and knew eX-
actly what she wanted. 1t was 10 be round
hat and must not cost a penny over SIS.
For an hour OF so she went from one shop
to another. Just looking on" After point
ing out three or iOur hats which garlic
ularly pleased her she seated herself before
the long mirror with a glass In one hand
aud one OF the hats in the other. This hat
in her hand was beauty, but on her head
il y as the most unbeeomiug thing she had
ever seen.
The next hat was too large. and was
trimmed too consricuously; the third too
small and pTim; the fourth cost too much.
The saleswoman's smiles were less fire.
quent and the salesHeman herself less
talkative.
The buyer found herself growing irri-
table. but she congratulated herself that
she was not making such fuss az that
woman IN front OF the next mirror. Then
she wondered why that fat lady with a
moon face insisted upon choosing the most
ridiculously small bJ9nets, while the
woman with a long and sharp face spent
her time gazing at herself from underneath
broad brim with towering mass of
feathers above.
Suddenly she saw q jaunty turban. The
cOlOring was stylish. and when she tried it
on was just what she needed. She was sure
il was becoming, because the saleswoman
agreed with her that it was. Then it gave
her a very comfortable feeling to know that
1t only cost 81 90. And so, even If she had
spent six hours in getting it together, with
Incidental expenses amounting to 90 cents,
she was satisfed-it seemed such sensible
investment.
After dinner that evening the hat came.
Once glance IN her own mirror and oh! what
a dife renee! II was the worst little hat /;
she couldn't see why she had bought it. She
looked disfguyed ia it. and If she had to
wear that hat all winter she would not 60
out at ali.
She put the hat in its baudbox, the box
high up Oh the closet shelf and then cried.
