FROM HAMILTON.

We have had quite an influx of visi-
tors during the past week. Noticeable
among them being, Mrs. Shekel, Mr..
A. L. Parker and wife of Round
Springs, Mr.. Riordan, of White River,
D. Mclean, Eugene and Neva Marty,
of Green Springs, Miss Ella Simonson,
of Cold Creek, the two latter being
guests of Mrs. S. M. Wear.
Capt. VIM. Norman is now located
in our vicinity having rented Jake
Harris's ranch for the coming year.
We hear that an application has
been made TO have all express matter
for Ely and vicinity carried via Wells
instead of Eureka, and it is rumored
that an effort is being made to es-
tablish a daily mail service from Wells
to Ely and discontinue the one from
Eureka to Ely via Hamilton. If the
people of Ely, petition for or even
sanction such change they will make
grave mistake. Our present mail
service, Though sometimes little
tardy in our severest winter weather, J
is efficient and satisfactory to the pub
lie which it serves, and there can be
no good reason for change. 1t is a
chain that unites us with the eastern
portion of this county; discontinue it,
and you will divorce lis as the people
of Newark and Cold Creek have been,
and like them; our interest and Court
business will naturally turn to
Eureka. If there be any truth in this
rumor, we earnestly hope the people of
Ely will pause and retract before this
irreparable injury to them, as well as
to us, is done.
Our Spring term of Court was held
here last week, Chief Justice Bush
presiding. There was but one case
on the calender and that was for as
suit and battery alleged to have been
committed by one Tognetti upon Cav
I'LL at Pancake Mountain. James o.
Doyle appeared as counsel for the de-
PENDENT and after getting the case well
under way, surprised the court and
people by asking a stay of proceedings
as he felt very strangely; sort of
goneness; and that he never felt so
before and that he was sure he would
never feel SO again if the court would
grant his request and allow his client
time to get additional help. The
court very impressively informed him
that his client should have an impair
tial trial and that in any event that
simple justice only would be melted
out. Attorney Doyle replied in a
very impressive manner that justice
was what he feared, and in his weak
ened state sank back exhausted. The

Nye County's Treasurer Suicides.

Nye County's Treasurer Suicides.
From the Belmont Courier of the
9TH inst. we learn that Adam Mclean,
who has filled the responsible position
of Treasurer of Nye County for over
81 years, has succeeded in playing the
part of an embezzeler for period of
over Is years, out of the q, during
which time, according to his confession
he has suffered untold torments, and
being unable to longer resist the re-
morseless persecution of a Discerning
conscience, ON April I'd concluded to
end his ever increasing agonies and
committed suicide by taking strychine.
Every possible effort was made to re-
susitate the dying man but all to no
purpose The poison was taken at
eight o'clock on the morning of the
End. and at nine his spirit had gone
to answer for his crime before the
Judgment bar of God. The following
letter addressed to George Nichols
tells the story of his crime.
Office of Adam Mclean,
Treasurer Nye County,
Belmont, March 20, 1894,
George Nicholl-Dear Friend: I
am going to take my life on account
of what suffer for embezzling Nye
County money.
I lost in Ell Dorado and Belmont stocks,
$4,000
| spent lots of money on elections.
Endorsing notes for others, several
hundred more.
I lost on my foolish garden opera
ton about So. 900, and money loaned
to every one that asked me and who
never paid me back. I do not know
how much. Which brings me to this.
George, give my typewriter to Miss
Grace Mccain. Send the 2 rings and
2 sleeve buttons and breastpin to my
sister Mrs. Ann McLennan, Potts
vile, Schuylkill Co., Pa.
James T. Darrough, give my shot

Mrs. Wordsworth, who writes'a NOV

ing the necessity OF obtaining fun.
food and fresh air for all classes of
children, says that there are among
London's poor thousands of little ones
who never had toy.
Yet still the child instinct to make
believe" surmounts every practical OBJ
stacle, and there is Il true story of one
little sufferer from a chronic disease
whose only plaything were the spots
OF damp on the wall beside her bed.
She played they were real and alive:
She gave them names and imaginary
qualities.
Another true story showed how far
the little candle of wise and loving
word may throw its beams. 4 teacher
alta Sunday school for London's Door
was trying to impress upon her little
pupils some idea of the real meaning
of giving.
Whatever it may be- she said, s.our
offering to God should be of our best.

In one baby heart her words found
ready response. Next day a little
creature confided her Offering to the

haps her only treasure.

Statistics Show That We Are Learning to
Address Letters More Accurately.
The number of pieces of dead mail
matter received at the dead-letter
Office during the fiscal year 1898 was
1871 ,027, an increase over the receipts
of the previous year of 349,S4 pieces,
or a little more than 5 per cent. This
increase of undelivered matter, &C
cording to the Albany Press and
Knickerbocker,i is less than the per cent
of increase of matter mailed, as shown
by the statistics of other branches
of the postal service, and would seem
to. indicate more care on the part of
people in addressing their letters,
as well as increased vigilance on the
part of postmasters to secure proper
delivery.
The number of pieces treated in the
dead-letter Office, including those on
hand from the previous year, was T.,
330,03S. these were classified as fol-
lows: 5,40S,945 were ordinary I'M
claimed letters; 204, As were addressed
to persons in the care of hotels; 21S, $50
were mailed to foreign countries and
returned by the various postal admin
istrations as unbelievable; 50,9H were
addressed to initials or fictitious per-
sons, and 7,106 were domestic regis
tered letters. There were 633, 957
pieces of mail matter of foreign origin,
and 1850 were ordinary letters with
out Enclosures, which had once been
returned by the dead-letter office to
addresses contained therein, and. fail
ing of delivery, were again sent to the
dead-letter Office for final disposition.
The number of letters classed as I'M
mailable comprised LIZA, containing
articles which were not transmissible
in the mails; 90, 234 were either entire
ly unpaid or paid less than one full
rate, and could not, therefore, be for
warded; 1852 were either deficient in
address or addressed to places not post
offices or to post Offices which had no
existence in the state named and were
classed under the general head of ''Mis
directed:' 35,91S were without any adj
dress whatever, and 2,040 were classed
as miscellaneous" There were also
received SO, 246 unclaimed and unmail-
able parcels of third and fourth-class
matter.

MANUFACTURING ANTIQUITIES.
1t Has Been a Flnurishing Trade for at
Least -Four Centuries.


Much curious information is con-
tanned in Sir John Evans article in
Longman's on the Forgery of An
tiquities." Both counterfeits and
forgeries, he says, abound in every de-
partment of archaeology
The fabrication of lapidary inscrip-
tions is said to have begun some four
centuries ago. The number and veri-
similitude of the forgeries in the first
half of this century was so great as to
reduce considerably the value of genu-
inc antique gems.
1t is probable that more than half of
the old Dresden china now exposed for
sale is counterfeit.
The forgery of ancient carved worries
has developed two distinct schools.
one in southern France, the other near
Cologne.
The German Becker seems to have
been the modern prince of antique
coiners. He engraved dies for upward
of three hundred types of coins, princi-
pally Roman, and as most of these
were struck in gold--a metal that does
not change in appearance with time
he realized large sums from unwarv
collectors.
How to take off the appearance of
novelty from the freshly-struclk coins
was a question of difficult solution.
He solved it thus:
He had a small box constructed.
which he partly filed with iron filings.
and screwed to the springs of his car
riage, and in this box he placed his
newly-strucl1 coins, and then, as he ex-
pressed it, 'stook his old gentleman a
drive" on the road between Frankfort
and Offenbach.
The coins came out of the box still
fresh, but with the too-glaring bloom
of youth judiciously toned down.
Wherever excavations are carried on
when coins are inquired for thew
are sure to be produced.
