what Acting Governor ssdIer Says
Regarding lt.

Regarding Is.
Under the caption OF "Sadler's Odd
Mistake" the San Francisco Call pub
fishes the following:
"a very strange tale Of official pre-
cipitancy comes down from Nevada,
but il comes from such a source and
appears 10 be SO we'll vouched for that
it certainly is worthy Of publication.
"The story is that Lieutenant Gov
ernor Sadler, who, in the event Of the
death Of Governor Jones, would sue
coed to the gubernatorial chair, had
taken time by the forelock and pro-
ceeded to take possession OF the Gov
ernor's Office and the fullness thereof.
Believing that Governor Jones, who,
for the past week or more has been in
a very critical condition at the Palace
Hotel, was really dead, Sadler ordered
the flag half-masted on the Capitol at
Carson City and at once declared him
self the Governor.
"He even went further than this
and appointed his Private Secretary.
Then he t~elegraphed to Governor
Jones' Secretary. William T. Hanford,
for the keys to the rooms Of the execu-
tive head OF the State.
1.-THE rumor that the real Governor
had passed away caused him to move
in the matter Of taking immediate
charge Of the State, and he thought it
would be a good plan to get hold OF the
keys.
When he learned that Governor
Jones was getting better every day and
that the rumor OF his death was ground
less. he pulled down the flag and laid
off to await further developments.
Strangely enough, at the hour
when Nevada's executive head was
said to be dying he was really begin
ming to show marked signs Of recov
cry"
A Reno Gazette reporter interview wed
Acting Governor ssdler, who denoun-
ced the whole thing as a lie nom be-
ginning to end. Mr.. Sadler feels most
keenly the injustice done him by the
publication OF the foregoing. What or
who prompted the Call to say such un-
kind things about Mr.. Sadler the Gag
cite does not know, but IL Is quite evil
dent the Call was +" steered" wrong.
Mr.. Sadler says he was on the train
between Reno and Carson and knew
nothing Of the occurrence until he ar
rived at Carson, and that he had APP
pointed no Private Secretary and had
no thought OF doing so.-Gazette.

A fussy little man, who had plenty
OF money and spent IL lavishly, was
one Of the saloon passengers who ar
rived the other day on the American
liner Paris. He was looked upon as a
nuisance by some Of the passengers on
the voyage, but when quarantine was
reached and the passengers read of the
Presidents message and subsequent
events they changed their views about
the little man.
He was one OF the few who dared 60
on deck during the first days Of the
voyage, owing TO the storm. After the
concert on board he gathered about
him a dozen congenial spirits. bought
champagne for them and spun a yarn.
II was of a dream.
He had dreamed that there was q
panic on the New York Stock Ex-
change and stocks we're falling off
frightfully. And he vowed there was
val talk between the United States
and England. Then the other men
rround the table shook their heads
gravely and advised the little man to
stop drinking and 60 to bed. He would
feel better in the morning.
But II was different Yesterday morn
ing when the papers were thrown
aboard at quarantine. Then the little
man became the cynosure Of all eyes.
He enjoyed il; also the champagne
that was forced upon him. His friends
claimed that he was the only genuine
dreamer extant. Owing TO certain eff
fects of champagne, the little man was
just able to maintain q dignifed silence
and could not be interviewed about his
dreams.-New York Herald.

In Place of water.

The South African newspapers are
full of amusing incidents in connection
with the Rand water famine. Soda
water at 5 shillings a bottle is in gen.
eral use for culinary and washing pur-
poses. The demand for Florida water,
bay rum, eau de cologne and other
liquids Of like character is unprece-
dentedly great, and anything that a
be pressed into the service OF the tot
let commands a fancy price. A mix
ture Of ammonia and lavender is said
to Weld satisfactory results. and even
vaseline and benzine are by no means
despised. London Globe.

Improved Faster rn.n America.

We had a conversation the other
day with a very intelligent Swedish
lady who had returned from her native
land after % years absence from Amer
lea. She says the old country has i'm
proved faster than America; that the
Government owns the railroads, tele-
graph and telephone lines, and that
a fare is one and a half cents per
mile, and only one half fare on Sun
days. Telephone messages to any part
of the kingdom are only ten cents. 1t
is concluded that ii any country could
own the railroads at a profit, We could.
II Sweden derives much of her revenue
from her railroads, what might be ex-
pected of the United StatesP The
event of the railroads and telegraph
and telephone lines would much more
than run the Government, and the
protection gold standard humbugs
would hoodwink the people no longer.

Mrs. Langtry's daughter attracts

and bringing with her the fragrance
of the roses Sherwin had sent her.
And Sherwin, looking at her as she
stood moment in the doorway. did
not wonder at Hetherly's desperation.
They went to the hall and Sherwin
danced the first dance with her and
then left her, not only to dance with
Hetherly, but to walk home with him
after the ball.
That was in the spring, and all sum-
mer the little drama went on. Sher-
win took Elsie to parties and Hetherly
took her home. Sherwin took Elsie to
drive and they drove out of town into
the spicy pine forests, where Hetherly
was waiting for them. While Hetherly
and Elsie drove Sherwin lay on his
back on the pine needles and kinne-
kinick and read the magazines he had
brought with him, until they returned.
Then he drove the young lady home
and Hetherly returned by another way.
After awhile Sherwin seemed to lose
interest in the stories and topics of the
day. His magazines lay uncut on the
ground beside him while he watched
the disappearing carriage until it was
lost TO sight on the farther slope of the
hill. Then he would throw himself
down with his face toward the sky that
