opera to Reno and Virginia City.
The entire company will go and
their tour IS certain to be successful.
Both Reno and Virginia City have

that We are a trifie ahead Of our sister
cities. while our amature actresses

be hard % find better drilled chor-

have kindly fived the rate for the

dollar. and quite q train 10 d Of peo-

The affair is for the benefit Of ST.

patronage. Besides this it is ull

STATE DEVELOPMENT.
4 Discourse BY the Editor of the
irrigation Age.

man of the meeting and Surveyor
General Pratt Secretary.
The Governor introduced the speak
er in short address.
The speaker entered at once into
his subject, and his pleasant voice
and delivery coupled with the enter
tanning matter he spoke about, kept his
audience more tnan attentive.
He said he had come to Nevada to
discuss the problem of interesting
the surplus people Of the East with
the surplus lands Of the West.
Poverty and want existed mainly
when the population We're tenants in
! stead of land owners Utah Yves the
| best known example in the United
States of what land ownership did for
the people The people who came into
Utah with Brigham Young were
mostly a poverty stricken class, and
had very little beyond their personal
effects, vet they turned their arid land
into garden. The secret Of their
success was that they made the soil
support them and consumed nothing
We're never affected by hard times and
the result Of which by good system
of irrigation cleared over five hundred
million Of dollars for the people of
Utah The Greedy Colony started IL
Colorado twenty five years ago. They
went in to combine land and water
and made money They started with
fruit as the principle crop and failed,
but 10 one year cleared one million
dollars of. potatoes alone.
He drew striking picture of the
poverty of the East Men were max /
ing shoes in Massachusetts, for so
a week wages which only meant s.
week because they only worked half |
time
He also contra sted the two great |
financial systems Of Brigham Young !
and George Pullman. In Utah the |
man who worked got all he earned |
and the increased value of the land /
meant more money in his pocket. /
Under the Pullman system a tenant !
worked always for wages and if he /
improved his home it meant higher
rental. So when the Pullman labor
er5 went on a strike they were pau
pers when they began and paupers
when they finished.
Millions Of people in the East will
come out West and take cheap land,
till it and develope it, and as long as
water will run down mill there is mon
ey in it. But these people don't want
the high priced lands of California,
The price is prohibitory, and the eli
mate of California, where a man can
sleep under the blue sky the year
round. ennovates. Great civilizations
thrive in a diversified climate, and
Nevada, Montana, Colorado, Utah
and Arizona are the coming States OF
the West because Of the soil and eli
mate.

In Durrant's case the coroner's in
quest came speedily to conclusions that
are adverse to him. as far as his COM
piicity In the murder OF Blanche La
mont is concerned. 1t appears that the
unfortunate young woman was strang-
led. Seven wounds made by the muir
derers fingers were found on one side
OF her neck and five on the other.
Then. too. the authorities have at their
service the stains made by the guilty
mans hands on the plastered walls OF
the church. In the Orient and In Eu-
rope as well. thumb prints have often
been used In the successful identifica-
ton of criminals. No mans hand Is
precisely like that of any other man
finger marks have frequently been un-
erring witnesses against accused peo-
pie In France and elsewhere. The cir
cumstantial evidence against Durrant
as piled up during the progress Of the
inquest was to his disadvantages; 1t
may be that a scientific turn will be
given to his trial as the result Of the
expert study of the marks that were
left on the walls of the church.

Nicaragua wants to fight. and II her
offended people cannot fight with Eng
land, they are likely to fall into a war
among themselves, SO dissatisfied is
the populace with the course the gov
eminent has pursued.
That the lines have fallen in un-
pleasant places for these people is
true enough-England pounced upon
them with the arrogance that is her
habit when she happens to have deal
ings with any feeble nation. But what
could the government of Nicaragua
do? 1t had no alternative. The United
States. following a course which, in
spite of the Administrators critics.
seems to have been wisely chosen,
found no occasion for mixing in the
fight, and thus Nicaragua, left to her
self. engaged in controversy which
involved results respecting which
there could be no question.
Nicaragua is a country hardly three
| times larger in area than old Missoula
county, In Montana. It's population
| was reported to be four hundred thou
sand about ten years ago, but 1t has
lost during the decade. Its discon-
tented people, accustomed to revolu-
ton. may rave against a government
that is practically penniless, but the
fact remains that the government had
no recourse-it could not hope to cope
successfully with its powerful rival.
The latest advices are to the effect
that the British troops will be re-
moved from the territory of Nicaragua
without delay. the government at Lon
don having satisfied itself that the
security for the indemnity 1t demand
ed Is good. In that event the whole
affair will pass out of the public mind
long before the time comes when the
lingo orators might use II on the floor
of congress as an argument against
the administration. The logical result
of 1t all will probably be another rev.
olution in Nicaragua.

The papers IN the suit brought by

IL the case goes to trial there will be
something of a scandal In the Gould
family. leila is 10 years old. She
claims that she got a check or deposit
certificate for $4,000 from George. and
that George got 1t back again and
never would surrender 1t. George. 1t
is understood. denies the whole trans
action. At any rate he considers $4o.-
900 too much. Possibly the young wo-
man may compromise for $4,000. The
Goulds. It would seem. are catching 1t

He Weighed 500 Pounds and 1t Took

Worlds Fair Hearse to Carry Him.
From the New York Recorder: The
funeral of George f. Seaman, the Or
ange Valley grocer and war veteran,
who weighed 445 pounds and was said
to be the latest man in New Jersey,
was held from his late residence on
Nassau street yesterday afternoon.
Despite his obesity, Mr.. Seaman had
been very active until a few weeks
prior to his death. He had host of
friends in the Oranges, and the house.
the little front yard and the street for
two blocks in the vicinity were filled
with crowds of men, women and chill
dren, who knew and respected him.
The coffin in which the body was
laid out was seven feet long, over three
feet wide and two and one-half feet
deep, and the body and casket, Under
taker Barry said, weighed considerably
over 500 pounds. 1t had been thought
at first 1t would be impossible to find
a hearse large enough to hold the i'm
mense casket, and an attempt was
made to secure a gun carriage from
the Second regiment armory, but con-
siderable red tape was in the way, and
Mr.. Barry finally found hearse OF
the requisite size in Newark, an unus-
ually large one, that was built for ex-
hibition at the worlds fair. To get
the casket out of the house, 1T was
found necessary to cut the frame away
from one of the parlor windows.

Work On This Charity.
Ground will be broken this sumemr

to the munificence of Mrs. Phoebe A.
Hearst. widow of the late Senator from
California. who made to the cathedral
trustees a gift of $4,000 to provide for
the girls school to be called after her
name.
The purposes of the originators of
this great plan involve the presenta-
ton of every advantage for the ad-
vancement of women, which in its
course will look not only to their best

The trustees and all interested ex-
press the hope that the cause will be
met with much public generosity so as
to make widespread the greatness and
influence of the entire cathedral
scheme, such as the boys school, the
chapel, the bishops house, the semi
nary for higher theological education,
the convention hall. diocesan library,
etc, and the cathedral itself, which is
to crown the whole.
