gates selected.
The republican ward caucuses
were held Saturday night, obedient
to Chairman Steve Collins call to
select delegates to the county con-
vention to be held tomorrow morning
to choose delegates to the judicial
convention. The various meetings
passed off without incident, the dele
gates named having orders from the
county boss to meet at the Lincoln
club rooms tonight to select dele
gate at large. While there was some
interest manifested as TO who should
be the choice of the republican
county delegation, the caucuses were
all at sea. as all the republicans OF
note had been worked by the candi-
dates from the various counties, but
not having had specific instructions
from Mr.. Collins, none felt like max
ing any expression OF preference.

For Superintendent Of Public instruction


II. c. Cutting began his career as a
school teacher. Mr.. Cutting was elected
Principal of the Candalaria School which
position he so ably filled that he was
twice reelected. He nov has a larger
school at Wadsworth, one more worthy
his ability. Mr.. Cutting needs no ex-
tended comments at my hands, when he
has had conferred upon him the highest
honor it is possible for a public school
teacher in this State to receive; he be-
ing the nominee of probably the most
powerful political party in this State,
for Superintendent OF Public Instruction.
These who know Henry best have no
fear Of his ability to fill that important
Office, with honor to himself and credit
to the University. Mr.. Cutting has
lived in Nevada since childhood but has
travelled extensively throughout the
United States and has had a wide exper-
fence among men.-Student Record.

Paints Pictures with Her Toes.

An ''armless wonder" who, if she
would consent to exhibit herself on
the stage, would command ten times
the salary of Unthan, who recently
was seen in New York city, is one of
the most celebrated portrait painters
of the old world. She is Mile. Aimee
Rapin, the daughter of Swiss bar
rister. who died when she was IL
years of age, and she is both young
and beautiful. She was born in the
little town of Payerne, Switzerland,
without hands or arms. When her
father died a wealthy gentleman,
patron of art, became interested in
her by seeing some paintings which
she had made holding the brushes
and palette in her toes. He under
took the care of her artistic training
and sent her to the art school at
Lausanne. From there she went to
Geneva, where she took several prizes
at the academy. She studied
principally under Professor Bar
tholemy Mem, and devoted much
attention to the old masters and Hoi-
bins portraits. She exhibited a por-
trait in Berlin in 1891, and in the
spring of 1898 went to London. For
some weeks she gave herself up to the
study of Rembrandt and Vandyck, in
the National gallery. Then she paint
ed the portrai. of Princess May, wife
of the duke Of York, and it created a
distinct sensation. Commissions from
mem bers of the English aristocracy
followed, and when it finally became
known that the artist was without
hands or arms her work became still
more and more appreciated, because
of the almost insurmountable difficult
ties she had overcome in her career.
She established studio in London,
which at once became fashionable
resort. Her portraits remarkable for
their elegant simplicity, and are
modern in tone and conception.

A WILD TEAM.
MIR. Cicveland's Vain Efforts to Handle
His Chaotic Party.

MIR. Clcveland's Vain Efforts tn Handle
His Chaotic Party.
Mr.. Harrison proved to be
prophet in the declaration that Mr.
Cleveland would have wild team to
handle during his administration.
Mr. Cleveland has held the reins for
over year, and his driving has
been as disastrous as that OF tho am.
bilious youth who undertook to guide
the horses Of Hclios. He has brought
ruin alike upon his administration
and upon the country.
1t Is not surprising. There are
many discordant clements in the
Democratic party and the task Mr..
Cleveland assumed was that of keep
ing all these elements in harmony
with one another. He was compelled
to try to reconcile the half Populist
spirit in some of the Democrats OF
the Southwest with the cold and
selfish feeling which prompts the
Democrats of New York and other
far Eastern states. With the latter
he has sympathizcd and this has made
him do things that have been OBJ
malnder Of the country. But at the
same time he has tried to satisfy the
latter. and whenever he has made
that attempt he has brought down
upon himself the wrath OF the New
Workers.
In regard to the money question,
the two great sections OF the DEM
ocracy differ in the way above men
toned. In regard TO the tariff there
is moro seeming harmony. But it is
on the surface only. As u matter of
fact the Democrats do not themselves
know what they want in the way OF
tariff legislation. says the Denver
Republican, Some Of them are out
and out free traders, while others
are genuine protectionists These
clements may agree during u cam
paign, but when 10 comes to legisla-
ton they are wide apart This diff
ference has been one of the sources
Of trouble in the attempt to pass tho
tariff bill, and IL has added greatly
to Mr. Cleveland's difficulties,
But what more than any thing else
makes it difficult for Mr.. Cleveland
to drive his wild team is the fact
that the Democratic party is without
definite purpose or policy. 1t is n
party of principle only to tho extent
that u declaration Of principles aids
it In getting offices. 10 is not party
OF ideas There is nothing agrees
sive about it, and when IL Is con-
fronted with the duty Of conducting
the government, it is unable to do
anything, for tho reason that it does
not know what IL wants Mr.. Glove
lands horses are not broken to har-
ness. He cannot drive them. because
in the first place he himself Is not an
experienced driver, and, In the Soc
ond. because they have not been
trainea to pull together 1t will be
well for the country when both
driver and team are discharged.

THE MAN WAS PURSUING THE GIRL.
sible help-and she was stretching
out her hands to him in supplication;
the tortured glance of her eyes was
like an audible call.
Carroll was on his feet this time.
But before him was only darkness.
All had vanished. Alone, as he ad-
vanced, he saw the CLEAN of dying
Goals. He stopped. A fiat pan stood
upon the carpet. 1t had been place d
there probably before he went to bed
by some hand of solid flesh and blood.
Carroll collected his thoughts. Kos
mys had spoken of smoke pictures at
his first performance. He said that
they were now only seen at long in
tervals in the palaces of Indian rajahs.
A few magicians of his kind had the
secret of them in the West. But they
were impossible save where very pc
culiar conditions of affinity existed
between him who caused and him
who saw them. A pan of Goals, on
which was thrown certain powder,
was prerequisite.
Had Kosmys, then, placed the pan
here, in Carroll's room, to show him
the picture SO damning to himself?
Never! But she whom he called his
daughter? Might it be? Had she
not the same powers as the man whom
she assisted? Had she not deliber-

There are dining-rooms and dining

with an attenuated pocket book but a
very wise head who has secured the
prettiest one imaginable at an alb
surdly low cost The room was one
of those characterless apartments,
perfectly square with two doors and
only one window, unless we except a
horrid square hole in the wall through
which the viands are supposed to be
passed from the pantry. In the first
place she had the walls and ceiling
stained light, grayish blue, which
made the room seem third larger
with its impression of misty distance.
The lower part of the wall, from the
dashboard to just the height of an
ordinary wainscoting, was then
smoothly covered with blue denim,
forming most effective dado fin
ished at the top with an oak molding
which matched the wood finish of the
doorways and answered admirably as
a chair rail. The floor covering
was blue denim, the effect
being the same as ingram filing,
and in the center of the room was a
lovely Japanese rug in softest blues
and yellows My friend did not have
money enough left for sideboard
after she had bought her pretty oak
table and six chairs, so she got an in
expensive oak serving table with
slender, curved legs and placed it di-
rectly beneath the Objectionable pan.

The Democratic Incubus.

In one year OF reciprocity our OK!
ports to Cuba were nearly dou bled.
but the hostility OF the party in
power to that policy has already
caused the introduction into the
Spanish courts OF bill imposing an
ad valorem duty of twenty-four per
cent upon all products imported
from the United States. The Demo.
cratic efforts to extend our trade are
much like those of the man who
sawed off the tree under the bough
on which he sat
