The following, from the San Francisco
Post, is the only notice we have re-
ceyed of the death of former pub
Usher of the Silver City Avalanche.
Major Hay as he was called here, left
Silver City in October 1880, and was
supposed to have left here in comforta-
BILE circumstances, but was reported to
have lost the most of his money. He
was an aggressive man and made warm
friends and warm enemies while here.
The Post says:
"John Hay died this morning in Napa
county. He was an old time newspaper
man, and for some years past editor of
the st. Helena Star. He came to this
state from Silver City, Idaho, where he
had accumulated considerable wealth
on the Idaho Avalanche. He settled
rst at Hollister, where he run paper
for short time before going to st.
Helena. He was veteran of the G. A.
R., having served with distinction
through the war, for long time acting
as quartermaster on the staff of General
Grant. He was born at St. Johns, New
Brunswick, SO years ago. His brother,
e. B. Hay, attached to the San Fran
cisco Stock Exchange, in this city, sur
wives him.

Governor Mcconnell has issued a call
for State silver convention, to me held
in Ketchum, August 18th. 1t is hoped
that every section of the State will be
represented. The people are becoming
thoroughly aroused to the necessity of
action in the cause ofsilver and the ex-
preston of opinion coming from these
conventions, already held or to be held
in the West, should go up to Congress
when it is assembled, with voice not
to be mistaken.

A Demurrer.

Notwithstanding all the pretty puff
ing that has been done for Idaho's ex-
hibit at the Worlds Fair, little things
come to light occasionally which show
that visitors from Idaho are not alto
gether proud of the manner in which
things are being conducted at the head :
quarters, or of the exhibits in general.
Persons who have returned here from
Chicago do not enthuse when they are
talking of Idaho's share in the bigehow,
and we have never yet heard any per-
son mention any efforts made by the
persons whose duties include describing
Idaho's attra ctions and resources, exer-
cising any marked ability in that line.
On the other hand we have heard of in
stances where want of attention to vis-
itors amounted to downright inciyility.
No one likes to make remarks about
these things and the excuse is made
that Capt. Wells health is not good and
be cannot be present at all times to
guard against the neglect of his assist
ants. We are sorry to note that most
of the complaints are made against the
ladies employed, the gentlemen not be-
ing nearly SO curt in their answers to
VISITORS inquiries.
Idaho being one of the youngest states
in the sisterhood, visitors must not ex-
pect to see her cope in the display of
her resources with older, more popu-
lous and wealthier states, and must
make due allowance. But they have a
right to expect the same courtesies they
would receive from California or Mass
achnsetts.

Somebody's Father.

/ think that one of the saddest Incl
dents of the war which witnessed was
after the battle of Gettysburg Off on
the outskirts, seated on the ground with
his back to tree, was dead soldier.
His eyes were riveted on some object
held tightly clasped in his hands. AS we
drew nearer we saw that it was an am
brotype of two small children. Man
though I was, hardened through those
long years to carnage and bloodshed, the
sight of that man who looked on his
children for the last time in this world,
who, away off in secluded spot, had
rested himself against a tree that he
might feast his eyes ON his little loves,
brought tears to my eyes which could
not restrain had / wanted. There were
six of us in the crowd, and we all found
great Jumps gathering in our throats and
mist coming before our eyes which al
most blinded us.
We stood looking at him for some
time. l was thinking of the wife and
baby had left at home and wondering
how soon, in the mercy of God, she
would be left widow and my baby boy
fatherless. We looked at each other and
instinctively seemed to understand one
another's thoughts. Not word was
spoken, but we dug grave end laid the
poor fellow to rest with his children's
picture clasped over his heart. Over his
grave on the tree against which he was
sitting inscribed the words: "Some-

Mistakes Of Missionaries.

Come behind the curtain with me while
I whisper into your ear a few Of the mis-
takes made by missionaries. who talk so
much about the mistakes of the heathen.
One evening an English missionary in
Peking took a friend who was visiting
him to regular Chinese theater. It
happened that the play for that evening
was burlesque ON foreign preaching.
A Chinaman dressed up to represent a
foreigner came upon the stage with his
arms full Of books, attended by his Chi
nese servant. He began to preach mock
sermon, making the mistakes in talking
which foreigner is likely to make.
These mistakes were received with bursts
of laughter from the audience, to whom
the looks were distributed. The fun
came to a climax when the preacher,
after delivering a sentence particularly
full of laughable mistakes, turned to his
servant and said: "How did | speak?
Did I do pretty well?" and the servant
replied with great gravity: 1.-THE foreign
teacher speaks the Chinese language ex-
ceedingly well. No mistakes at all were
made. New York Independent.

An Invention For Steamships.

An English mechanical genius has de-
vised method Of indicating and stop
ping leak by the use of compressed air
He divides ship into alright compart-
ments, fitted with doors provided with
packing material and connected by tubes
with room on deck called the ''switch
room" In this room is junction chest
supplied with compressed air from fixed
or portable compressors and SO arranged
that the air can be delivered to any Of
the compartments. Other tubes lead
from the compartment from which wa
ter can be forced out when required, and
electric indicators are also connected
with the switch room to indicate the ac-
cumulation Of water in any of the COM
partments. Should the vessel "spring a
leak" the indicator will show which COM
partment is affected, SO that the COM
pressed air may be forced in to drive the
water out.-Boston Journal.

Spelling the Administrators Bu,la,ng.


The beauty of the Administration
building rotunda is being marred slowly
but surely. First came a guidebook
stand; then cigar and tobacco showcases
obtained footing, and last, but not
least, is the alleged model of the
treasury building at Washington, which
is being constructed of pine, blue cheese
cloth and Columbian half dollars.
The wooden base ON which the coins
are being glued is extremely inartistic
itself, bat the man who made it evident
ly failed to take into consideration the
size of the half dollars, and the coins are
being cut into all sorts Of shapes and de-
faced in every conceivable manner to
make them fit and hide the lumber.
There are $40 windows in the thing,
and each window represents at least five
mutilated coins, entailing loss of ST.
700. To make all the edges and corners
of the porticoes, verandas and cornices
straight will necessitate the spelling of
1900 more coins.
The whole thing, from the coarse iron
fence to the tin window frames, is an
eyesore, and none is quicker to recog-
nize this fact than the visitors from the
country, for whose delectation the thing
Is being built. Chicago Tribune.

Reunited After rwenty-one Years.

After a separation lasting 81 years,
John Fl. Morrison and his wife have
been reunited. In 1855 Squire Morrison
welded Miss Fry in York county and
five years later came here to reside.
He remained here for two years, and,
meeting business reverses, went west,
leaving his wife and four daughters here,
and nothing was heard of him until last
March, when an advertisement for wife
appeared in Harrisburg paper signed
John H. Morrison. It was seen by one
of his daughters. She answered it.
Morrison received 617 answers to his
advertisement, but replied only to the
one written by his daughter. In tho
correspondence that followed their rela-
tionship was disclosed, and when he
learned his wife was still living he made
arrangements to take her to his western
home. A letter received states that they
recognized each other on sight at the
railway station in Oklahoma.-Lancaster

Some Gossip About the Big Events and

of the day.
The early trains from this city will
carry large number of people who will
go to witness the bicycling events. The
Santa Fe will run special train leaving
Riverside at Z p. M, returning to this
city by way OF San Bernardino.
The rider of whom the most is ex-
pected at the races is Lewis Fox. 1t is
question, however, if he can do himself
justice by entering all the events in
which he 10 eligible. II he rides in the
road race his appearance on the track in
the afternoon will be received with re-
gret by his heartiest supporters. No
rider can do himself justice on the
track after such race as will be run
over Magnolia avenue this forenoon.
Jenkins ia looked upon as ranking
next to Fox, and his admirers expect
great things of him today.
From an entirely disinterested stand
point. several of the riders who will do
remarkable wheeling are almost begin
ners. Houston OF this city. Smith OF
Pomona, and Wasaon OF Riverside are
riders that have scarcely been noticed,
but il appearances count for anything

The, distance of the road race course
Is exactly, 13 miles. The ride will be 81
miles down Magnolia. avenue and re-
turn, giving the spectators chance of
witnessing both the start and finish.
Some records will certainly be
smashed. IL is expected that the road
race will be run in the remarkably quick
time of 80 minutes, or possibly less.
