PERSIAN RUGS AT GLADDING'S.
An Almost Priceless Collection Ex-
hibited i'm Providence.

Although the supremacy Of the Caucss-
ian race in other respects is universally
admitted, Persia and Asia Minor still
furnish Us with certain products OF art
and skilled workmanship which our
largest carpet looms and factories can
not emulate or excel. Persian and Indian
rugs have been renowned for centuries Tor
their durability, use and artistic beauty.
Fine specimens have fetched hundreds
and even thousands of dollars in European
and American markets, and the homes OF
the rich have been adorned with the
choicest products OF the patient workers
of the East.
The people OF this city now have the
rare good fortune of inspecting and pur-
chasing from the most magnificent collec-
tion of rugs, carpets and tapestries ever
imported into the United States from
Persia and neighboring countries. This
is no less than the Persian Governments
exhibit at Chicago. The place of sale Is
the dry goods house of the Il. III. Gladding
Company, where Mr.. +. III. Sheldon, the
well-known art auctioneer, will dispose
of it from Monday to Saturday OF next
week.
An idea of the worth OF the collection
may be gained from the fact that II is
assessed at a low valuation-at 100000
There are 1000 pieces in the collection, in
cluding SamarcaDd, Persian and Turkey
carpets, rugs, embroideries, hangings and
Oriental antiques. The stock was not
purchased in the open market at Teheran
or Constantinople, but was obtained by
the agents of Messrs. G.. III. Topakyan *
Co., from private collections, the Sultan's
palace, the High Priest of fersia and the
most skilled Oriental artisans.
To make one of taese rugs almost life
time of patient toll is required. In each
square inch there are 2000 stitches, which
gives an idea of the prodigious labor re-
Quired for its completion, all the work
being done by hand.
The sale, which began Wednesday, is at
tracting great attention, and is TO be con-
tinued only until Saturday. Purchasers
Will do well TO take an early advantage OF
the opportunity.

WIRES ALL DOWN
Boston Cut Off From the Rest
of the World Today.

By Long Distance Telephone from Associated
Press.
Boston, April 12.-All wires leading out
OF Boston on Western Union and Postal
lines are down, and the only means of
communication between this city and New
York is the long distance telephone.
The Associated Press reports that
none of its circuits are working and its
news is being sent out by train and over
the long distance wire. The storm began
here at 7:30o'clock last night and by mid
night it was blowing gale with
binding snow storm, heavy, wet and
clinging. Wires began TO go up and by
o'clock hardly one was in shape to work.
The police were ordered in case of fire to
notify the engine houses direct.
At noon today not vessel had entered
the harbor and none, of course, had left.
At Nantasket Beach the waves are tre-
mendous and damage to hotels on the
beach is expected at high tide.
Along the south shore the night was
wild one and the waves swept completely
over Minot's light.
On the north shore the damage along
the beaches will be heavy especially at
Revere and Chelsea beaches where several
houses have been undermined.
The trains are running, but not on time,
the wires preventing train dispatchers
from forwarding trains promptly.
The electric cars have been able to make
fair time.

corner of Prospect alley and Brook

The Lyon County Times has the
following to say regarding Congress
man Newlands:
Well, suppose Mr.. Newlands, the
Silver party nominee for Congress is
a wealthy mani Does this mean that
ha is not an honest and just man and
will not faithfully attend to the du
ties imposed upon him by the people
if he is reelected to fill the position of
Congressman? WIS cannot see that
it does. Mr.. Newlands has faithfully
represented the interests of this State
for the past few years, and he will do
30 again for the next two years. In
accepting the nomination from his
party he distinctly stated that he
would at all times hold himself in
readiness to obey the wishes of the
party which sent him to Congress, and
that he considered the position of
Congressman one of servitude instead
Of dictatorship.
Mr.. Newlands is a bright and intel
igent gentleman. learned scholar, a
convincing DICTATOR, who has made
the financial question of this country
study for years. He is we'll posted
in regard to the wants of this State
in both the lines of mining and agri-
culture, and the fact of his being a
man of means will dispute the asser-
ton that only the laboring classes are
in favor of free coinage and all rich
me are goidbugs.
Besides, Mr.. Newland has very
large interests in NevanI, both min
ing and agricultural, and will there
fore let no gra ss grow I'm Ter his feet
in enIeavoring togain for Nevad any
point that viii adj to hef prosperity.
He is actively engage IN set ng or h

gaSion purposes in Nevada, and will

tribution of the purchase money for
the Strip of the Cherokees COM
menced. A more interesting scene
than this collection of Indians could
scarcely be imagined, but the most
peculiar sight to me was the action of
a young brave, who declined to accept
the amount offered to him on the
ggaar3 THAT the government owed him
SfUO from some previous nppoitlUn-
ment. He speaks English well and was
among those to whom he told his
grievance. As he has a wife and
children, his family apportionment
offered him was over $1,000, but he
declined absolutely to accept it unless
the other hundred were added. He
was told very kindly that it was i'm
possible to accede to his demand, and
he was advised to take the $1,000 and
make a special claim for the 800. AL
most any white man would have fallen
in with the suggestion, and it is an in
teresting illustration of Indian stolid-
ness and ob3tinacy that this man posi-
lively left the town empty handed and
swore he would never come back un-

seems to border on the heroic. They
yaccinated themselves with a prepara-
ton made from cultures of the chol-
era bacillus, aud afterward swallowed
yirulent cholero germs with entire
impunity. Then, with serum from
their own blood, they inoculated
guinea pigs, and found that these ami
mails could thus be protected from

kind, but in this case the doctors were
so sure that they were right that they
