WHY THE GAME is POPULAR.
The beauty of the game-or one of
dts beauties, for it has many-is that

the more the merrier, it is usually
voted. The ideal number, however, is
nine on each side. There is a goal
keeper; two backs to assist; a center:
a right and left center; two forwards.

When the game is played in the
gymnasium, the basket is bracketed to

The growth of the Bon Marche and the
Louvre, which has been entirely effected
within the last forty years. supplies ev-
idence enough that in Paris, as in Lon
don, the tendency of the period-outside
the cooks is toward comprehensive es-
adjustments; where objects of many
natures can be found at low prices under
the same roof. Potin, the universal
grocer, supplies even an example of sue
cess, in spite of the cooks.

DERIVATION OF "GRAss WIDOW.

The phrase grass widow" or rather
grace widow" for the first has no
foundation in fact. and is simply bar
barism, or fungus, which has attached
itself 70 the English language. Grace
widow is a term for one who becomes. a
widow by grace or favor, not of neces-
sity.. as by death, and originated in the
earlier ages OF European civilization.
When divorces were granted but seldom,
and wholly by authority Of the Catholic
church.
When such decree was granted to a
woman the Papal restrict stated ..Viduca
dc era tia In the law of the French it
would read 'Veuve de grace" which in
England gives widow of grace, ~.
-,'grace widow" 'yeuve'' being trans
lated as widow.". In his novel and ex-
ceedingly interesting paper, Judge Tur-
pie also makes again public two impor-
tant historical facts: That the whole
system off law in relation to marriage
and divorce originated in the Roman
church, and that French was the off,
cial language and court vernacular, not
only in England, but OF western Europe

The Silver Me citing.

R. NJ. Beatty, G. E. Mack and Joe
Mccarthy were given a cordial greet
ing at the Court last Tuesday
evening. Bonfres blazed in the
streets, salutes were fired and the
enthusiasm ran high Judge Beatty
was the principal speaker of the eve
ming. He spoke in eulogy of the sill
yer ticket and gave concise and in
telligible explanation of the rs pro-
posed amendments to the Constitu-
ton, showing clearly that their adop-
ton would do more harm than good.
G. e. Mack and ]. G.. Mccarthy
were introduced to the audience and
each had few words to say about
the Silver party.
A. Garard was chairman of the
meeting and as chairman did very
well, but when he made the closing
remarks, the people could not tell
whether he was talking about the
Japanese war or was deep in some
obtuse problem in logarithms and
tangents.

Rich Gold Fields.

In Tule Canyon, this county, some
rich gold mines should be opened. In
this canyon rich dry diggings were
discovered some fifteen years ago. In
1880 few men were at work there.
They had no machines for dry wash
ing, and did not even winnow the
dirt by tossing it in the air, Mexi-
can fashion, They simply dug over
the ground with picks, collecting
such pieces of gold as they hop
pened to see In this way they made
good wages in ground from two to
four feet deep. Working in this
rude way they found one nugget tnat
weighed five pounds, and very many
worth from So to $75. Pieces of gold
worth about fifty cents were about
the smallest saved working in this
way. With water or even dry wash
ers such ground should pay well. AS
all the placers in the great basin re
gion are of local origin, Tule Canyon

Fire Alarm.

An alarm of fire was sounded about
8 o'clock Saturday night. An out
house in the rear of the old county
hospital was on fire, and this
occasioned the alarm. The hose-cart
was on the scene In about three min
utes after the alarm, but as the fire
was discovered before it had made
much Roadway, it was extinguished
with sand.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but is said to have been incendiary.
If this be true, nothing should be
left undene to discover and punish
the culprit.
