Tomorrow, the average man will,
whether he acknowledges the kindness
of Providence or not, stop and whisper
to hi mself a prayer of thanks for the
blessings that are his. 1t may not be
that in the matter of the worlds goods
he has been richly endowed in years
past. But there are so many richer
blessings than this, in our mortal life,
that we should not forget to allow our.
selves to enquire which Of them are
ours, and be thankful for them.
The greatest gifts God gave to man
are gifts Of head and heart, and ii you
are endowed with mental faculties to
appreciate to a large degree the glories
OF the universe, the beauties of nature,
the highest in literature, art and music,
and are given a heart to feel a charity
toward all mankind, you have bless
ipgs far greater than those Of a dull,
avaricious and selfish mind, though 1t
be bestowed with the wealth OF a
Croesus.
1t is the duty Of those who feel that
they have much for which to be thank
full, to at least make some one, upon
whom afflictlon has fallen heavily, feel
at least thankful that such as you are
living. There are many innocent chill
dren in Las Vegas who have been
brought into the world with the same
right to enjoy 1t as your wi warmly
clad and happy children, but who,
though they may hear Of the fine din

INTERESTS

Scientific circles throughout thu
country will BIZ interested in the an.
nouncement that a paper which may
be described as a historical and tech
nical sketch of the origin OF the Besse-
mer process, and personally prepared
by Sir Henry Bessemer, will be the
principal feature of the national con-
~vention of the American society of
mechanical engineers, in New York
during the first week of December. 1t
had been expected that the convention
WOULD be honored by the presence of
the venerable %discoverer, but he has
unwillingly arrived at the conclusion
that, in view of his advanced age, it
would be unwise fer him to cross the
Atlantic at this season of the year, and
so, as a tribute to his llow-craftsmen
on this side Of the water, he has pre-
pared the paper in question, and which
is now in the hands of the general
secretary Of the society.
While It's contents will not be made
public until the opening day Of the
convention, it is understood that, much
as is known in this country concerning
the Bessemer process, 1t contains a
number of facts hitherto unrevealed
concerning the conditions surrounding
the discovery of the process, and other
details which will be of profound in
terest to the world of mechanical en-
cheering.

We wish to state to the good people OF
Las Vegas and vicinity, that the means to
build the Sanitarium have been provided
for, but we are without means to furnish
the building. We have concluded, there
fore, to hold a fair during Thanksgiving
week, to raise funds with which to furnish
the building. We are dependent on the
generosity Of the public to accomplish this
and desire to state that we do not
expect to get the necessary amount by
large donations, but by the mite from the
many. Hence, we hope that none will re-
iuse to assist us. This is a public %institu-
ton by which all will be benefited, and in
all should feel an interest.

- Aa4-zanse human digestive
system is very much like a camel. 1t Is
really astonishing how much abuse 1t will
stand. Sometimes, however, something
worse than usual will be eaten, and will go
through the stomach into the bowels, and
there it will stick - that's constipation.
Nine-tenths of all human sickness is due
to constipation. Some of the simplest
symptoms are coated tongue and foul
breath, dizziness, heartburn, f%atulence,
sallowness, distress after eating, headaches
and lassitude. A little thug will cause
constipation, and a little thing will relieve
1t. DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are a GER
tain cure for constipation. They are tiny,
sugar-coated granules, mild and natural In
their action. There is nothing injurious
about them. Sold by druggists.

A CRUEL DELUsION.
Mrs. Dr.. Connolly Imagines That Her
Children Are Dying of
Starvation

Mrs. Kate Connolly, wife of DR.. Thomas
E. Connolly of 1920 Howard street, was
Yesterday declared insane by Judge San
derson. Some time ago she was brought
before Judge Hebbard on complaint of
her husband, but was released, and the
doctor was roundly scored for an alleged
attempt to railroad his spouse to the
asylum.
a few days ago Mrs. Connolly went to
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children and complained to Charles P.
Welch, who is in charge there, that her
four children were starving, and the
youngest, aged IA months, almost dead.
She said that her husband refused to pro-
vide for his family. On investigation it
was discovered that the children were fat,
hearty and healthy.
Two days later Policeman f. w. Smith.
who patrols a Mission beat, was made
confidant by Mrs. Connolly of her supposi-
tltious woes. The patrolman was accosted
about 2 o'clock in the morning. by
woman who begged him to come with her
to her home, saying that her baby had
starved to death and that its corpse lay In
her bed. The policeman accompanied
Mrs. Connolly home and found pretty
child sleeping peacefully.
Judge Sanderson, after listening to the
testimony and to Mrs. Connelly's story,
said that he was convinced of the insanity
of the accused, but as her mind seemed
sound on every subject but the one he was
10th to send her to an asylum. He finally
decided to give her a chance on the prom
Use that her relatives will have her placed
in private institution and there subjected
to such restraint as will prevent her from
doing injury TO herself or her children.
Mrs. O'Connor the accuSed's mother,
claims that her daughters mental condi-
tion is due to severe beatings she has re-
ceived at the hands of her husband. 1t is
said that DIR. Connolly has at various
times dragged his wife about the house by
her hair.

to your esteemed favor OF the 10th inst. we
send you copy OF the synopsis of the charter
issued by Ibis association for general distri-
button. &has been carefully compiled and
contains all the essentlal features OF the
charter concisely stated 1t will probably
serve the purpose OF showing you the salient
ton, OF which you make special inquiry.
Permit us to express the sincere hope that
the city OF Wheeling may join the sauspicious
movement for municipal progress, now so gen.
eral among American cities. The best thought
of the Republic is at present turned to the
Improvement OF munlclpai government. No
city requires new cnarter more than San
Francisco. Under the present obsolete form
of our CITY government defective methods
have wrought incalcuaple injury to the City
and the spirit of progressiveness seems stifed.
The new charter is INFINITELY superior to the
existing government of San Francisco and
there is an encouraging prospect of its ratifi-
cation on November and subsequent by the
Legislature
You state that Wheeling has had special ex-
perience in municipal ownership of public
utilities, such as water works, gas works and
elecric-light plants. 1t would be esteemed q
favor by this association to know the results
of your experience in the important subject of
municipal ownership and how the ownership
was brought about and maintained. With
best wishes we remain. yours very ruly,

WOES OF A CHILD WIFE,
A Girls Fight to Have an Ad-
verse Decree Set
Aside.
Charles F. Myer Accused Of Obtaining
Judgment in His Favor by
Fraud.

What promises to be very spirited con-
Z test for the annulment of a decree of di-
vorce is Soon to come upin Judge Slack s
court. The parties to the suit are Charles
F. Meyer of the firm of Meyer & Akmann,
located at 16 and is Sacramento street,
and Interested in the West Coast Steam
ship and Navigation Company, and his
former wife, living with her mother at S26
California street.. whose maiden name is
Marie A. Brownell.
According to the tale of the bride and
her attorney, j. G. Calhain, Marie A.
Brownell was married secretly to. Never
in Oakland. July 80, 1894. At that time
she was child only 16 years of age.
When they returned to this City the
la dy asserts that her husband asked her
to keep the marriage secret, as he was
expecting large sum of money from his
father and thought the news of his mar
riage might interfere with it.
Trusting implicitly in her husbands in
tegrity, Mrs. Meyer returned to live with
her mother on Post street. An agreement
was made that they should not live to-
gether as man and wife until Myer had
settled accounts with his father, but this
agreement was Tot kept.
In November, when Mrs. Myer was on a
visit to San Pedro, she was astonished and
dismayed to learn that her husband had
filed suit for divorce in Judge SewalI' 8
court. She returned and upbraided him,
but was pacifed with the explanation, she
declares, that he had done this only to
allay the anger OF his father, who had dis
covered the fact of his marriage.
She further states that he told her not
to bother about the matter nor see an at
torney and take any legal steps, as he in
tended to have the suit quietly dismissed
without his fathers knowledge, and the
settlement with the latter would soon be
arranged so that he could come out boldly
and proclaim her his lawful wife. She ao-
cepted the explanation he is said to have
made without more ado.
In December she learned that Myer's
petition for divorce had been granted.
What was worse, it had been granted on
the ground of infidelity. 1t was a cruel
blow to the little woman and coming as
it did when she was in very delicate
health, completely prostrated her.
In the meantime Myer had remarked
and he now has child by his second
wife.
About four months ago her attorney. ].
@. Calhain, who is now in the East. filed a
suit for annulment OF the decree of divorce
in Judge Slack's court. A demurrer to
the same was entered by the defendant
about two weeks ago. The original com
plant has since been amended.
A few days ago the plaintiff consulted
with Attorney Gavin McNab and asked
him to enter the suit in her behalf. At
torney McNab stated yesterday that a
transfer of attorneys had not vet been
made and he could not state positively
that such would occur. For this reason
he cared to have nothing to say. He con-
fessed, however, that he had been exam
lining the case and would make definite
statement next week.
