NO. States. April 80: Mr.. Bissell,
the Postmaster General, it ia reported,
Informed Congressman Springer, of Illi-
Dois, yesterday, that postmasters and
other officials appointed by Mr.. Har-
rison during the last days of his admin
istratiou will be permitted to serve out
their term of four years, although such
officials do not come under tho opera
tons of the civil service law. The
States is Inclined to believe that this is
bad politics, because the same policy
led to the disaster of 1888. Nothing will
please the Republicans better than to be
allowed to remain in office so that they
can work for the defeat OF the national
Democratic ticket in the campaign of
1906, and when they are not protect
ed in their positions by the civil
service law they should be requested to
hand in their designations without de-
lay.

at the Prize Fight.
Iberyille South.

Iberville South.
On Sunday night last We witnessed
the prize fight at the Cypress City Ath-
letic Club Arena. Our object in being
present was not to write column of
"slush ITO long suffering public, but
simply to see that these degrading ex-
fsibitions were conducted in accordance
with law.
We witnessed the fight last Sunday
night and may he present at the one to
take place tomorrow, but the more we
see of these brutal exhibitions, the more
fully convinced are we that law pro-
hibiting them entirely is an absolute
necessity. They have degrading in
fuence on community, and attract a
class of toughs from neighboring towns,
who are altogether undesirable.
Absolutely nothing can be said in ia
sor of prize 6ghts, aud if at the next
session of the Legislature, q law is not
passed prohibiting them, the people will
want to know the reason why.

HISTORIC MINING CAMPS.

They Are to BE Represented at Califor-
MAS Midwinter Fair.
One of the unique features of the Cali
fornia Midwinter fair is to be an old
time Nevada mining camp of the days
before the bonanza kings got in their
fine work and gobbled the country up
of the days, in fact, when those same Boz
nanza kings were plain everyday miners
themselves and lived in shanties and
cooked and ate their own pork and beans
just like the rest of the boys.
The veritable cabins that sheltered the
kings in those antebonanza days are to
be brought down from the gulches of
the Sagebrush State and set up in Gold
en- Gate park to illustrate from what
humble beginnings colossal fortunes and
United States senatorships may eventu-

the primitive miners cradle are among
the number which are promised to be
forthcoming when the fair opens, and it
has been suggested that they might be
accompanied by some of the actual
prospect holes dug by those bare-armed
monarchs of the potential shovel, but
there seems to be no certainty about
that, and the attendant expense would
probably be too great.
One thing is definitely settled, how
ever, about this Nevada camp, and that
is that the ~veracious Sam Davis Of the
Carson Appeal is to run an antique log
cabin printing Office and get opt a regu-
lar can of a frontier weekly to be
called The Sagebrush Selfcocker. II

RAY FRANK.

were no synagogues in her time. There
have of course been noted women teach
ers since then, but there is a marked dis
tinction between teacher and preacher
in the mind of the Jew.
Miss Frank is already quite well
enough prepared, from an ordinary
point Of view, to undertake the duties
of the ministry and has had q iattering
offer from some wealthy Jews in Chica-
go who desire to form a congregation
with her as their rabbi, but she feels the
need of further study before she is will
ing to be ordained. She is a graduate of
studied Hebrew philosophy and theology
at the Hebrew Union college at Cincin-
natl.
When the congress of religions was
held in Chicago, Miss Frank, the young
est delegate present, was invited to open
the proceedings with prayer, and those
who heard her said it seemed as if she
were inspired. She has already gained
considerable fame as a lecturer and
made two notable addresses in Chicago,
one before thecongress of representative
Jewish women and the other before the
Grand Army of the Republic on 1.-The
Daughters of the Repuh'r."
Miss Frank began hel reer as a pub
lie teacher in the Sabba.A school of the
Oakland synagogue. She was very sue.
cessful as a teacher of children and soon
undertook a Bible class for older stu.
dents, to which many of the adult mem
bers of the congregation were attracted.
The synagogue had no rabbi then, and
Miss Frank was invited to lecture before
the congregation, which she did with
great success. She is an excellent He
brew and German scholar and has from
childhood felt a strong inclination for
Hebrew history and philosophy. Her
name is Rachel, but she is much better
known by the more familiar Ray.
