Lillian RusselI's Youth.

Lillian Russell is always the talk of
the town when she comes here. Her
engagement this time was no eXcep-
ton. Here are some bits about her
which may be new to the new genera
ton:
She was a pupil Of the Sacred Heart
Convent OF this city for nine years,
and it was there she learned French
and German.
She sang in "PinafOre," in E. Il.
Rice's company when she was seven
teen years old, when she married and
retired.
One day she was singing in a parlor
in a house where Tony Pastor called.
He asked who she was, and afterwards
met her. He engaged her at a salary
Of $50 a week TO sing ballads-"Ihe
Kerry Dance and '~Twickenham Fer
rvs were two Of her most popular
songs. She received several offers
while she was with Pastor, but refns,
ed them until her contract with Tony
Pastor was fulflled.@Chicago Tribune.

popular In cities where excessive or.
n"amentat.on and scroll work are not
so much in demand as in the country,
are being further made more desirable
by the use Of the sand blast, which
takes away the Il tier and the "shini-
ness and gives a medium between a
very dull finish that seems destined to
have a long life both as to wear and
durability. Some of the enamels now
used similarly TO finish machine Y can
only be described as ideally beautiful.

Art in Ordinary Hardware.

Not only have the designs Of Ameri-
can hardware improved in late years,
but the finish is much finer. The first
condition is due to the employment Of
trained artists familiar as were the
madieval workmen with the conditions
and quality Of metal. The second con
dition Is due to the use Of new process
es. A machine can be painted any
color without increasing it's efficiency,
out ii is curiously true that handsomely
finished apparatus stands a better
chance than that which is rough of
getting well treated by the men into
whose hands it falls. A recent writ2r
remarked that in this direction per-
maps the most important invention has
been that OF the Bower-Barf process.
When properly done it produces n fin
ISL on iron that, except under most I'M
favorable circumstances is practically

use or wrought iron in a name that
promises to Surpass the best efforts Of

with the various lighter colors of hard
woods, and when used for hinge straps

Daily Activity of small Animals.


Some interesting reco DIS have re-
Gently been made by Mr.. C. G. Stewart
of the daily activity Of certain smal
animals and of the charges effected By
various influences. Thus far the ami
mails experimental upon have been
rats, mice and squirrels. They. are
kept in circular, easily rotating cages,
so arranged that any motion Of the ami
nal rotates the cage. AMI. by mears
of a tambour or levers. this motion of
the cage is recorded upon kymog aph
paper kept moving night and dau. An
electromagnetic circuit with a clock
marks the hours and minutes. We thus
have the manner In which an IN NAL
divides his time between rest and ac-
tivity recorded by hims If. Rats ard
mice divide their days into about
twelve hours rest and twelve hours
intermittent work during the nigh.
Those Of us who are wakeful wi
however, be inclined to believe that
these creatures ramble and nibbla all
night. During the work period short
intervals of activity, rarely exceeding
an hour, are interrupted by al most
equal periods of rest. The squirrel in
winter works almost continuously for
lloht b"Clly iIIu !" t"o ii'bl
early in the morning, with sometimes
a short interval of activity late in he
evening, and rests nearly twenty-five
hours in the day. Food has n most
marked influence upon diurnal activity.
In general, the richer the diet in pro-
ted, the greater the activity. Fat has
the opposite effect, reducing the activ-
ity Of mice TO a few minutes a d!y.
To test the influence of alcohol on
spontaneous activity, rats kept on dry
corn were given, instead Of water,
alcohol OF 5 per cent to 60 per rent.
During fifty days Of treatment no uni
form effect Of the alcohol could lie
demonstrated. All normal animals ex-
~perSmented OF tended to work mcre
minutes per day when baron trio
pressure was high, and this must be
taken into careful account in esti-
mating the effect of any condition upon
daily activity.

Stored Energy in n Watch.

The modern watch Of any good make
embodies the inventive genius of en-
turtles. The pocket watch of to-day is
m of the most accurate Of all iastru-
mcnts Of precision. Briefly defined,
mechanically, it is a spring motor OF
most delicate construction OF parts.
controlled by an automatic regulating
device that is a marvel Of precision.
1t is designed to measur accurately
and record the hours, minutes and sec
onds Of the mean solar day. A watch,
keeping time to a minute a week,
varies from true precision only 1-1O0th
Of | per cent. The act Of winding, so
called. is that Of storing up energy in
a spring. BY this act Of winding the
hand, in the interval of about fifteen
seconds, stores up energy enough TO
keep the motor in motion and to sup
ply the maximum Of power for n
period OF twenty-four hours, and with
a reserve in the modern watch Of about
sixteen hours; or, for a period Of forty
hours from the energy that is stored
in it by the hand in fifteen seconds of
winding. The storage Of power in such
a standard is effected by means Of a
ribbon of steel Of a width and thick
ness proportionate to the s.ze Of the
watch, and which is con aimed in the
first wheel. called in technical parlanca
the barrel, which is in the form of a
cup. The size Of this cup is governed
by the size of the watch, being nearly
one-half the size or diameter Of the
frames Of the watch. This spring is
from eighteen to twenty-five inches
long. 1t is coiled up in the barrel, with
it's outer end secured by means Of a
pierced hole fitting over a suitable hook
or stud, projecting inwardly from he
barrel. Its inner end is secured to a
similar hook TO the hub of a wheel
called the first or main wheel. By the
act OF winding this spring is wrapped
around the hub, and the wheel is
caused to revolve. The tension i'm
parted to the spring in winding / t
this arbor. when freed from the factor
Of friction, will be the force tending to
drive this first wheel of he watch.
This force will be equal, on an average,
in the "gentleman's size watch, to a
pull of five ounces troy on a wheel OF
1-inch radius. The action Of the sp ing
In performing its duties in the watch
will be readily understood.

INDIAN SCHOOL EXERCISES.

Miss Kate Macaulley may feel justly
proud of the splendid showing made by
her Indian pupils at Music Hall last
Tuesday evening. That the lady has
shown wonderful perseverance and tact
in her endeavor to educate these Piute
children, and the fact that she has been
successful in her efforts, wal fully dem
onstrated to the people of Wadsworth.
The program was carried out in a man
ner that would do credit to any class of
white children of the same age. The
pupils who took part ranged in age from
q to IA years of age and were very bright
looking children for Indians. the pro-
gram consisted of songs, declarations,
exercises in reading, writing, spelling
and arithmetic. That the efforts of the
children were appreciated by the audi
ence was shown by the tumultuous ap-
plause that greeted them. The Wads-
worth orchestra was in attendance and
enlivened the occasion by playing some
of their beautiful selections.
The exercises opened with chanting CT
the Lords prayer by the school, the ar
t~iculation of the pupils IA carried out
in an impressive manner. Number
two followed with reading exercises in
the first and second readrer. Number
three was a song by the school entitled
'"The Indian school are scattered Ger
American" the singing OF the children
was very good and their voices were
strong and clear. 1.-THE birds nest,"
which was participated in by Robt. Dell,
T. Rich and N. George their acting was
very clever. Number five was the re-
citing of the Ten Commandments by
the school and was carried out without
a single mistake. Number six was a
song by the school, 'Daisy Bell" which
was the feature Of the evening and was
greeted with great applause. Number
seven was spelling exercises by the first
and second reader classes which were
good. Lack OF space prevents mention
of the entire program, but taken all in
all the exercises were very entertaining
and interesting from beginning to end,
and many of the pupils possess rare
ability, taking into consideration the
short time that they have been
taught. Miss Macaully sang a sweet
ballad entitled Killarny, which wal rem
dered in a very nice manner At the
conclusion of the exercises. Rev. Mr..
Bellam made a few remarks eulogizing
Miss Macauley for her perseverance and
thorough discipline. The floor was then
cleared, and dancing was in order the
rest of the evening. Miss Nellie Madden
presided at the piano in her usual artis-
tic manner

MURDERED.

At s o'clock yesterday morning a
tramp called the attention of the au-
thorities to the body Of a man lying a.
bout thirty feet from the bank of the
river and one hundred feet from the
railroad bridge. From the road and the
railroad track the body could be and
was plainly seen by many passers-by
but all thought the man was asleep,
the place being a favorite one for yags.
Coroner Peers was Immediately advised
by telegraph and said he would start
for Wadsworth by team. Pending his
arrival such Indignation was expressed
at the delay hat Judge Hummel i'm
paneled a jury and moved the body to
the morgue. An examination made by
DR.. +. A. Jackman showed that the
skull was crushed just above the right
temple and the surgeon said it was un-
doubtedly caused by the murdered man
being struck by a club or TX or bar of
iron. There were marks Of a desper-
struggle in the sand around the body
and the hat and shoes of the deceased
were missing. Several travellers said
they had met the man at Winnemucca
and at Reno aud that he gave his name
as Joshua only. He is of short stature,
well built, weight 100, gray closely crop
ped beard, gray eyes, wore leather coat,
reversible, corduroy on other side.
Under the coat was a blue jumper, new,
light undershirt, blue overalls, now.
No papers OF any kind or any valuables
were found upon his person, although
several witnesses will testify he had
money at Reno. He had traded some
at different stores in town and was
easily recognized by those with whom
he dealt Constable Lothrop says he
made a close search among the haunts
of the hobos and along the river bank
but he failed to find the mans blankets,
hat or shoes. The wounds on the head
look to the scribe as if they had been
made by an iron fsh-plate such as is
used in railroad track repairs. As the
blood ran down the body it is evident
the blow was struck while the murder
ed man was standing. The murderer
probably threw the instrument in the
river. There is very little doubt but
that a foul murder has been committed
and it is the calumniation of a series of
outrages perpetrated by the worthless
vagabonds who have kept this town in
a Juror for several months past. 1t
has been crime after crime, each worse
than its predecessor, and it is high time
the citizens hanged a "red light at the
approaches to Wadsworth for the bene-
fit of the vag element.

The program closed with a Farewell
Song" by the chorus.
On behalf of the parents, State Super
intendent Cutting presented Miss Pearl
P. Pike with a gold class pin and an
elegant gold watch and chain, and Miss
Eta Hettenhausen a gold class pin.
The young ladies also received many
handsome floral tributes and other
presents.
Principal Dornberger was presented,
by the class, with u gold scarf pin set
with a diamond and suitably inscribed.
He also received a set OF shirt studs.
The recipient was much effected by the
testimonials of regard.
The exercises were a credit to all con-
cerned and Wadsworth certainly has
cause to feel proud of teachers and pu-
pills.
The dance which followed lasted into
the wee sma' hours of the morning and
was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The
DISPATCH reporter tenders congratula-
tons to all concerned for the success at
tanned and thanks for an evening of
great pleasure.

THRILLING WITH FATE.

surely Congress cannot realize the condi-
tion Of the country or there would not be
such trifing conduct. On Monday the
Senate Finance Committee reported a free
silver measure. and Yesterday the House Ways
and Means Committee asked Congress to
indorse a sale of geld bonds. Both these
committees know that neither measure will
pass. vet both seem anxious to oppose clash
ing interests.
Contrary to precedent. in opposition to
public policy. and in the face OF good sense,
the administration secretly negotiated the
sale OF bonds with a foreign syndicate and
has gone on record Jas a conspirator in a
financial deal The sale was necessary to re-
plenish our exhausted Treasury, but 1t should
have been made openly, publicly, and to the
most favorable bid der The statement that
gold gamblers would have formed a corner
and forced an unfsvorable sale will hardly be
accepted as a reasonable excuse.
Meantime. while Congress is Juggling with
prosperity and inviting financial disaster, and
while the administration is apparently in
league with the gold gamblers, the deficit in
revenues continues and each day our debt is
increasing half million of dollars. When
business firm continues TO lose money and
there seems no immediate change for the bet
Ter, il is always predicted that there viii be a
failure
And so there will. failure that will in
volve thousands of business enterprises. a
financial panic that will destroy many of our
pushing, energetic firms. An industrial dis
rupuon that viii bring starvation TO the
doors OF hundreds of fthousands-unless Con-
gress stops tinkering with impossibllities and
does something TO inspire confidence.
AT present free silver coinage cannot lie
brought about. Congress,will not authorize the
sale Of gold bonds. No currency measure can
be adopted, ,as mas already been demonstrated,
and it would be best to stop the discussion
Of these measures. But the evil can be RENE
died by Withdrawing the greenbacks from
circulation and increasing our revenues and
unless it is done quickly 10 prevent disaster
the neglect will amount to what ought to
be a criminal offense.
