SHOES FROM THE MAYFLowER.
Eootgear OF $50 Years Ago Very Like the
Es Modern Style.

EOotgeae of $50 Years Ago Very Like the
Modern Style.
Mrs. Eliza A. Brown, of Brownsville,
Me-, has in her possession pair of
shoes which came over on the May
flower. This particular pair of shoes,
says the New York World, was made
ut Chatham, London, in 1417 by John
Hose, whose trade mark can still be OBJ
served. Mrs. Brown inherited the
shoes from her mother, Mrs. Lydia
Gilman, of Acton, Me-
Mrs. Gilman had her choice between
two pairs, the only authentic relics of
this nature of the famous Puritan ex-
petition. They are of green brocadc
satin, with buckles, ana tie over the in
step. The heels are made of cork and
are very light. Between the soles and
uppers there is piping of white kid.
The stitching, which is visible, is done
as neatly and exactly as i'll any speci-
men of latter-day machine work.
The shoes are an interesting example
of the rotation of fashions. Although
$50 years old, they are exactly in the
ans shoe for 1896. The toes are of the
toothpick variety, as pointed as they
can be, and turned up little. The an
cient shoes seem to be broader at the
ball of the foot than is the vogue to-
day. The uppers are of acurious-look .ng
green brocade satin, the color of which
has not been impaired in all these
years.
This rare old pair of shoes could be
worn by a fashionable New York wom-
I'm to-day without exciting any COM
ment.

BEHIND THE BARS.
How Mopsa " as Cared For While Its
Owner Was Away.

How Mopsa " as Cared For While Its
Owner Was Away.
We know what we ask our friends to
do for us, but we seldom know all the
deviaticns which are made from the
original instructions. In a fashiona-
bic Chicago fiat n few months ago the
society dame who was going to the sea-
shore left her beloved poodle, Mopsa,
in charge of her nearest, dearest friend
i'll the Nat, who was not going away.
Elaborate directions were conveyed as
to what Mopsa was to be fed and how
often-when she was to be bathed and
combed-how carefully she must be
kept from roaming the streets, and so
on. The faithful friend seemed de-
voted to the charge, and Mopsa's mis-
tress went away with mind ut ease.
On her return Mopsa was delivered in
good health and spirits, but-oh!
frightfuly gone off in her looks, tow
zled and ragged-not ut oil the aristo-
cratic dog of former days. One day
her mistress said:
maria, can't stand it any longer
do tell me what you did to Mopsa while
was gone? She looks horrid."
And Maria honestly replied:
Julia, she was such u nuisance, al
ways running out when the doors were
open, SO I kept her in my old bird
cage"

The Boys Are Right.

The Cadet Corp Of the State Uni
versity sent Congressman Newlands
the following dispatch last Saturday:
"The University of Nevada Cadet
Corps, i'll mass meeting assembled,
appeals to Nevada's Representative in
Congress, Hon. +. G.. Newlands. beg
ging him to revoke his appointment
of S. B. Hamiltoe as the alternate Of
G r. Bliss for the West Point cadet
ship. We believe the above appointee
being non resident of the State,
does not represent this Congressional
district; and that, in any event, a
competitive examination should be
held, that all young men should have
fair show"
The INDEPENDENT believes the boys
are right and hopes that Congress-
man Newlands will grant their appeal.
The boys born and raised in Nevada
should have an opportunity to fill the
positions belonging to the State in
the Military and Naval Academies.
The boys are backed by nearly every
citizen of the State in their appeal to
Mr.. Newlands and we hope they will
WIN.

LETTER FROM Y. D. SprEEr.
Uncle sam Win Probably Issue Springfield
 Rifles to the Various state Militias.

Uncle sam Will Probably Issue Springfield
 Rifles to the Various state Muitias.
 Waterbury, Juno 2G.-Colonel l.. r. Burpee, commander of the Second reg ment, C. N, G., has received from Ne hemiah D, Sperry of New Haven,a let ter expressing his belief that the bill declaring that the bill directing the war department to issue Springfield rifles to the various state miltias will pass congress at the next session. The measure, appropriating $L000,00O for this purpoIe, has already passed the senate, but General Marsh of Illinois, chairman of the house military com mittee, deemed 1t advisable not to press the proposition in the house m- til the December session. Congressman SperIy is very confident that it will pass.
 The Connecticut National Guard is taking 8 deep interest in this measure. Colonel BurDee declares that the Pea body rifles, which are now carried by the Second regiment, are obsolete and inefficient, and that one-third of them are not in @ condition fit for use, They were made about twenty-siX years ago by the Providence Tube.company,w which has gone out of business, and the re- suit is that it is impossible to replace the broken parts.

GEORGrI DEMOCRATS.
A Solid Delegation to Chicago to Vote for
 Free Silver,

Free silver,
 Macon, Ga, June 26.-The Georgia democracy adopted the unit rule in con- vention yesterday and sent a solid del- egation to Chicago for free silver, Ste phen Clay was elected chairman of the convention.
 The delegates-at-large to Chicago are: F, P. Howell of the Atlanta Con- stitution, eX-Senator Patrick Walsh of the Augusta Chronicle, Hal Lewis and J, Pope Brown. out of eleven congress sional districts ten sent solid silver delegations and the eleventh is bound to vote for silver under the unit rule.
 The platform deplores lynchings and. favOrs the enactment of such laws as will effectually prevent the same; de- clares it's devotion to pure democratic faith, which demands that the primary money of the country shall be the gold and silver coinage of the constitution and which favors circulating medium convertible into such money without loss;" and demands the free and unlim- ited coinage of both gold and silver, in- dependent of the action of any other government, at the ratio of 16 to 1. It also condemns. "a financial policy which necessitates the increase of the bonded debt of the country in time of peace, to maintain gold reserve or to pay the current expenses of the gov ernment."
 It demands the repeal of all laws which clothe the secretary of the treasury with the more than imperial power to issue bonds and increase the public debt at his will and pleasure without specific authority from con- gress." It favors the payment of the public debt as rapidly as practicable; a tariff for revenue only; the repeal of the unconstitutional tax upon the state bank issues. and advocates the adop- tion of a constitutional amendment which win authorize the collection of a graduated income tax.

nrR. SrEINER RT,s INTENTION.
Remarkable Improvement in Piano Actio1

Remarkable Improvementin in Piano Action
 -Pronouncedla Success by Players.
 Morris Steinert, head of the firm of the M. Steinert & Sons company, has invented what promises to revolution ize the whole order of piano construc- tion. It consists of a new piano action, that mechanism which connects the keys to the hammers, which strike the strings and give the tones.
 The action invented by Mr. Steinert admits of the playing of the piano as one would an organ.
 It has been tried by a few players and pronounced by them a remarkable improvement. MT. Steinert has worked upon this invention for nineteen years. MT. Steinert speaks of it as follows:
 My invention makes the pianoforte an intelligent instrument, not a mech anical instrument. The present action makes the tones dry and colorless. Mine gives sympathy and elasticity. A player cannot now transmit to the in- strument his impulses, emotions and passions as a player can to a violin, for instance. He strikes the key and the hammer goes away from him, out If his reach and control Just when he would like that hammer to make some expression on the chords he cant get hold of if. With my action player constantly has the hammer in his hand, so to speak, the same as the hammer used by dulcimer player. Now the dulcimer is not a fine instrument, but some players get good music out of it because they have the hammers right in their hand and under their control, and can put their feeling into the in- strument. The blow given a piano may be likened to a blow by a pIgilist. You are struck hard on the head by fist and knocked silly. The blow on the piano strings knocks the tone silly.
 "T will not estimate the value of my invention in money. I did not work on it so long that I might profit pecuni- arily. l labored that I might bring tho piano into the front rank of instlu- ments. where it belongs If I have done that I am satisfied"

MYsrrCIsM IND 4 DIY0RcE SUIT.
Mrs. Hafeza Ayoob Says the One is the
 Cause of the Other.


 New York, June 26.-Hafeza Ayoob has sued her husband Joseph for sep aration on the ground of cruel and in- human treatment Both parties are Syrians and live in the Syrian colony on Washington street. The allegations in the complaint of the woman are about the same as she setsup some time ago when she applied to the court for writ of habeas corpus to get possess sion of her two-year- old daughter Isa- bella.
 Mrs. Ayoob says that her husband beat her at times, and that he is in- sanely jealous of her. She says that when she moves in her bed at night he asserts that this is a sign from the an- gels that she is unfaithful, and he fre- quently ties her ankles to his with rope so that she cannot leave him in the night and go to some mythical lover. He also says. she alleges, that he has communications with spirits by which he learns of her unfaithful actions. In this way he worries and persecutes her. and she wants separate mainte- nance during the pending of the action fNilt lIGhn blplS5il
 Ayoob on his part denies these al legations, and those of his wife that he has an income of $3,000 a year He is a Christian, he says, and comes from the Mount of Lebanon. He never as- serted that he had any angehc com munications, he says, and it is foolish and childish to impute anything of the l kind to him. He says that he loves 1 his wife, and has always treated her with the greatest consideration.
 Not only did he not strike her, he says, but he would not do so under any circumstances. She deserted him with out cause, and had before the assertion, 1 for some unknown cause, ceased to | take any interest in her household, On 1 one occasion without warning she went i to Canada to visit some friends, re- lnaining away for seventeen days, dur ! ing which time he was compelled to run i the house and take care of the child. 1 When she went away, finally, he says, i she abandoned the baby in the hall way of their house, where it was found i by neighbor and taken to him.
 The case was on the calendar to-day | before Justice Russell in the supreme court. on the question of alimony. The matter went over for a week.
