THE CALLS RETRACTIONS,

The Enterprise makes the statement
that the San Francisco Call is kept
busy retracting the statements made
by it's special correspondents in the
sage brush.
This is not strictly true. 1t has re-
tracted two statements recently. one
regarding Mr.. Williams and one re-
garding Mr.. Sadler. In both these
instances the Call printed what it re-
ceived in the way Of information from
parties supposed to be responsible.
Neither Of these articles came from
its Nevada correspondents. The pa
per in both instances was imposed on
by men whose statements were ac-
cepted as truths.
That the denials and the retractions
were prompt and explicit shows that
the Cali is published by men who be-
lieve in justice and are gentlemen.
The Call under the administration of
Charles Shortridge has always been
governed by a commendable spirit of
fair play, which is less honored in it's
observance by other papers in San
Francisco. 1t is usually very difficult
to get a retraction or V correction
of an untrue personal statement in the
other paper : San Francisco. The
publisher a. . -ule is not accessible
and if he is party demanding re-
dress is sent to the managing editor
who sends him at once to the city ed
itor, who refers him to the night ed
itor, who sends nim to the telegraph
editor, who tells him to call again.
Then the various editor, of the va
rious departments get together and
have a hearty laugh at the expense of
the mar whose character has by some
thoughtless item been torn to shreds
This is all because the paper has
adopted a 'policy" of never r~etracting
or correcting an untruth. unless it
happens to be "A nan Of great wealth
who is demanding thu ~retraction and
he gets il on short notice.
The Call is differently managed. A
poor w~Orking-man wish his dinner
bucket in his hand, a sewing girl in
faded calico, or a newsboy or boot
black in rags and ~tatters who climbs
the Call stairs and asks to see the
managing editor is shown the way to
his room and is received on the same
terms and treated just as politely as
Jim Budd, the Governor. would he re-
ceived, had he come on a similar er-
rand.
This is Charles Shortridge's idea OF
what is due the public from the news
paper and this is why the Calls sub.
scrirtion list is daily augmented by
big blocks of subscribers from the
masses who know when they are treat.

WHO CAN TELL?

Is the Government going to rest nov
hat it has simply put two Of
the small thieves in jail. How about
the money Coffin paid to parties? Is
he guilty of bribery or s~ubornation?
How about the $50, 900 in silver in
the State Treasury? Can't the public
have an explanation Of how it got
there? 1t is the public's money, has
it not the right TO inquire and receive
replies about how it got there?-Lyon
County Times.
The money paid by Coffin in the
Heney case was as Coffin explained it
under oath Tor the purpose Of getting
the witness back from Canada where
he could testify on behalf of the Gov

This explanation is really equivalent
to Coffin saying that he was spending
money to get testimony to convict his
own client.
The explanation however seems so
farto have been quite satisfactory. II
Brule had made such an explanation
it might have been discounted but

dollars in the State Treasury. we can
inform the Times that they were pack

We trust this explanation will be
quite satisfactory. the gold, the dollars
they were exchanged for, wasdoubtless
packed out in the came way. This is
the way the Republican party OF New

TEA IN TILE TOMRH-

Mrs. J. s Bird whose sweet thoughtfuness for
the unfortunates Of both sexes has been proven in
long. untirng work In Bethel and other missions,
both In Brooklyn and New-York, has begun a series
OF teas. to be given weekly In the womens ward OF
the city prison. The third one was given on Friday
afternoon
Seated at two long tablcs women young and
women old. women with hardened faces and women
with sad ores. One woman with snow-white hair
sat beside girlsh figure. Away down at the end
OF the table sat mother holding a brown haired
boy on her lap 1t was his munger that had driven
her to commit the theft which brought her there,
she said. Great tears rolled down her checks as
she listened to the kind voice OF the woman who
talked so sweetly TO her.
God knows your heart" the voice saying,
land He understands"
Mrs Bird feels that the most helpful way to
reach these less fortunate women Is 10 show them

curiosity which brings her TO them. but n sympa-

PLEA FOR CLEOPATRA.
MRS BERRY THINKS SHAKESPEARE DID
JUSTICE TO EGyPTS QUEEN.

The Fortnightly Shakespeare Club held the sixth
meeting OF In season last night the Hotel
Marlborough. The piece dc resistance was n lec-
Cleopatra. and. as IA preparation for IT,.
Mrs Lucia c. Balloon related the story OF the
play OF Antony and Cleopatra. The lecture was
given by Mrs Emily Dckey Beery. a member OF
tho club. and the audience was much Interested
In the Views It presented. Mrs Bcery said in sub
stance:
cleopatra truly belongs to Egypt. for she Is the
Sphinx OF all past ages. Her true history
Is yet to be written. for everything regarding her
has hitherto come from the point Of view OF her
bltterest foes We admit the dark side OF her char
acter. but wish to present the brighter one which
also existed.
"Cleopatras cruelties have been greatly exag-
gerated. and to large extent belonged her time
and environment. She really had a kind. tender
nature and was angel Of mercy compared to
her father and her ancestors
TOO much stress has also been laid upon her rare
bodily projections. which paled into insignicance
before her splendors OF mind and spirit
I'm Shakespeare we probably find the truest esti-
mate Of her. because he with the divine intuition
and inspiration Of tho poet saw through and behind
history tho real woman.
The most interesting point In her character as
shown In the play. Is her being SO purely absolutely
and fascInatngly feminine. She was Shakespeare 3
perfect woman, per 50, entirely aside from all vr-
well as woman. and until we can make this dis
tlnction we cannot get shakespeare's idea Antony
was as distinctyely masculine as Cleopatra was
feminine. which Is most Interestingly portrayed In
their lives and their loves.
In the words Of Shakespeare his love was gross
70 SINK while hers was light to aspire; He was
but to no hsher point "o on the SPIRAL
mans evolution. Each the true complement
OF tho other but the divinity OF wOmanhood raised
the woman to the higher plane.
Even yet the Influence of this great woman over
the greatest poet is like touch Of divine fire.
Her imperial reign has not ended for while Shakes
peare lives she will continue to enthrall tho hearts
Of all men,"
The lecture discussed by Mrs. Randall DIehl
president OF the club: Mr.. Niles. Mrs Balcom and
others Afterward Miss Jessie +. ODonnell. author

original humorous sketch from forthcoming book,
