One should always have close be-
side the bed at night a candle and a
box OF matches. II there is occasion
to take in the night a dose of medicine
-nervine. an opiate or q tonic-rever
take it in the dark. One may be per-
fectly certain mentally OF the place
where the bottle or the box was To-
Gated when his attention was last
called upon the thing, butt the mean
time a maid intent upon clearing up
or the mistress herself may have made
a change. 1t is not safe to snatch at
freedom from pain in the dark, and
cases not a few are on record where
people have made irremediable blum
ders, finding out too late that what
they supposed an innocent remedy
was a deadly poison.

HELP THE FAIR.

Mr.. James A. Yerington, the Ne
vada Commissioner OF the Midwinter
Fair, in conversation with the editor
Of the Virginia Enterprise, said that
the work on the Nevada building was
moving along in fine shape and he ex-
pected it would be completed by the
10Th Of January. at which time the
cost OF construction about s, 1000 will
have to be met.
The estimated amount required to
carry the exhibit through successfully
is s15 1000, of which only about "a, 900
has yet been raised. This money
ought certainly be subscribed without
any difficulty, as the advantages arts.
ing from the investment will be OF in
calculable benefit to all branches Of
industry in Nevada. We are all in
terested in this undertaking, as it will
prove Of far greater benefit than the
exhibit at Chicago, being so much
nearer home, we can show q larger
amount Of the productions OF the
State. both agricultural and mineral.
While we took t~hirty-eight premiums
at the Chicago Fair we ought to in
crease the ratio at San Francisco.
These exhibits will attract attention
from all parts Of the country, and will
create a demand for our land never
before known. Our mines, our farms,
our milk and butter, our fruits and
vegetables are productions seldom
equaled, never excelled. With such a
prospect before us, we cannot afford
to let nj energies lag until our widest
hopes are realized and Nevada occupies
the position that justly belongs to her.
Then let us be up and doing; now is
the accepted time, now is the day Of
exhibits.

An ex-street car mule in Los An
geles, from force OF habit, had
wandered between the rails. The
electric car came along, and the mule
imagined he was at the old business.
The motorman put on a little extra
speed, but the mule maintained the
regulation distance between himself
and the ear. Faster and faster went
the car. So did the mule. He had no

a vial Of poison and drank the contents
she recovered her senses and at nee
began to make some hot coffee as an

Day.

Christmas Day came and passed off
very quietly. Our people appeared to
be generally affected by the dull times
and made no extraordinary effort to
celebrate. The home dinners. OF
course, were made on the great
American bird, and few were so poor
as not to have had their tables blessed
with a nice fat turkey. The poor, as
far as their wants were known, were
literally supplied with good and
wholesome food by our merchants and
others.

Last night Major J. III. Dennis had
a narrow escape from a serious acci-
dent. He was talking with a friend
on the west-bound train, when the
train started. The car platform was
crowded and the train was under con
siderable Roadway before the Major
could get off. The consequence was
that he slipped on the frosty platform
and came near being thrown under
the wheels, but the only result was a
number OF bruises on the hand and an
eye, which looked as though its owner
had attended the festivities at Donny-
brook Fair.-Gazette.

THE ELECTRIC ROAD.
The Assessments Levied Declared
Partly Valid.

President JoOst of the San Francisco
and San Mateo Electric road was jubiant
last night over the action of Judge CARRIER,
who decided yesterday 10 favor of Joost
and the electric railroad corporation and
against c. c. Butler and w. II. Terrill,
two of the directors who brought suit
against BehreDd and Fabian Joost and
John A. Miller, the other directors. and
The San Francisco and San Mateo Railroad
Company TO restrain them from selling
the stock Of the plaintiffs for an assessment
Of 81 80 share, which assessment Butler
held was Illegally levied and entirely too
much for the requirements of the needs of
the corporation and to complete the build
ing Of the park extension.
Judge CARRIER decided in favor of the
railroad company, and held that the assess
ment was justly levied to pay the debts
which were to be incurred iD building the
extension 10 the park and to pay other cur
rent expenses, The Judge held that S5 a
share would meet the intentions Of the
company and pay its Indebtedness.
The $4,000 claimed by the Thomson
Houston Company was held to be due to
the Sunnyside Construction Company and
the extra 81 80 per share levied for that
purpose by the railroad was unnecessary.

RELICS OF THE WAR.
Five Rusty Carbines Found Under
the PoStOffice.

The Postoffice authorities have been
cleaning out the basement of tie Custom
house building lately with a view of utilIz-
ing 1t for storage purposes. and an occa-
siOnal curiosity is brought to light.
Five old Spencer carbines were found by
Assistant Postmaster Richardson and Su-
perlntendent of Carriers Cox yesterday.
The guns. which look as II they might
now be as dangerous at the butt as at The
muzzle. are relics of the unpIeasantness of
1S61-65. They were probably stored n the
basement by the revenue marines since
then, and as no occasion has called them
into use, they have been allowed to rust in
forgetfulness.
