NEW WESTERN IDEA.

Girls who Give Gold Models OF Their
Little Fingers.
"Do little girls here give gold models
of their little fingers to their fiances?"
asked the western girl of the Gothamite,
reports the New York Sun.
Heaven, mol" answered the Gotham
lite. 1T seems to me that that is rather
grewsome souvenir"
Not at ALL" answered the western
girl. 1T is decidedly dainty, and I'm
a little surprised that New York is SO
far behind the times. The fad started
in this way: When the daughter of one
of our big western politicians was six
months old he had model of her little
finger cast in gold. Around the little
dimpled digit Is ring of turquoise,
which is her birthstone, and it makes
lovely charm for her betrothed's watch
chain. Re valued II so much that it set
other men to thinking, and the result
Is that as soon as a girl wraps one of
these chaps around her little finger suf-
ficiently for proposal TO follow, he i'm
mediately insists upon gold facsimile
of the flesh and blood original. 1t is
pretty conceit. and is being followed
by every westeruer who is in subjection
TO somebody's little finger"

LUBRlCATiNG A WATCH.
No Other Piece of Machinery Will Run
So Long After n Single Oiling.


Very few of the millions of people
who carry watches realize to what Il
powerful extent fabrication is de-
veloped, and what an extraordinary
number of turns the balance wheel
makes with one oiling, says the Phila-
delphia Record. y Chestnut street
matchmaker, v:'.ose knowledge of these
wonderful pieces of mechanism is not
exceeded by any man in this city, has
made up an interesting table of COM
parison to show the perfection of lubri-
cation in n watch.
a watch will run on one oiliEg from
year to year and half. Every min
ute the balance wheel turns on its
axis $50 times, and 27.O00 times in an
hour. Accepting the year as the time
the ordinary watch will run with one
oiling, he finds that if the driver of q
locomotive was as well oiled as bal
.ance wheel of a watch, it ought to RIM
60 miles an hour day and night for
Gas days, or well on to two years, with
one oiling. In that time it would
traverse distance equal to nearly four
times the circumference of The earth.
In view of the fact that in reality
few locomotives will run one day with
out reoiling he maintains that the
matchmaker has developed his art TO a
far greater degree than the locomotive
builder has yet been able to reach.

HUGE KITES TO AID SCIENTISTS
a Princeton University Party to Es-

4 Princeton University Party to Es-
pIore the Famous Mosas Clihs.
Prof. William Libby, of Princeton
university, accompanied by several sci
entists of repute, has begun an eXplora-
ton of the famous Mosas cliffs in the
United States Indian reservation Of
New Mexico. 1t is expected that the
task will require many weeks for its
completion.
Prof. Libby, who is geologist and
an Arctic explorer, conceived the idea
of attempting to investigate this dis
trict years ago, but no means offered
itself until William j. Eddy, of New
York, perfected his kite machines for
aerial transportation. Mr.. Eddy has
built contrivance formed of four huge
kites arranged in 4 square, four feet
apart. These kites can be sent up in
the air to height Of 500 feet. The ap-
paratus was sent by express to the
scene of action and an expert in their
use sent by Mr.. Eddy TO fly them, un-
der Prof. Libby's directions.

FORTUNES FROM FRACTIONS.

Control Something Universally Need
ed and &c Il Millionaire.
There have been in recent years sew
eral instances of sudden wealth. South
Africa and Cripple Creek have produced
miilionaires over night, and a bicycle
and patent medicine promoter in Eng
land made $10.OOO,O00 in as many weeks,
says Leslie's Weekly. There are sew
eral thousand people who are each
worth $1,000,000 or more, and there are
several more thousand who are on the
road to become millionaires. Most of
these are persons who are getting their
riches on small fractions of cent. The
street railway kings who are rising to
millions and tens of millions are fully
satisfied with part of one cent of the
nickel they collect, because there are
so many of them.
The sugar kings have reduced the
price and improved the quality of sugar,
but as long as they get their fraction
on each pound the Americans buy they
can make q profit all the way from 20
to so per cent. The coal oil monopoly
has also reduced the price and i'm
proved the product, but its little frac-
tion makes the greatest money-making
enterprise in America. The man who
invented the patent beer stopper is
getting bigger income than the pres,
ident of the United States. A cheap
headache remedy is allowing it's pro-
prietor to spend 100000 a year and still
lay up another 100000 for rainy day.
The first thing is to get control of some
article of universal use. and the small
fraction will do the rest.

ONE ON HIM.
An order That He Had Neglected te
Obey.


81 had a queer experience with a
gripman on a Mount Auburn cable car
this morning" said q Fifth street cigar
dealer to a Cincinnati Tribune man.
"You know there is a sign in the car
which reads: Don't put your feet on
the Seats or something to that effect,
Probably they were afraid that you
would scratch your shoes on the rough
seats. Anyhow, the signs there.
'On the car there was but one other
passenger, evidently a friend of the
gripman. lie was sitting in the seat
next to the official, and the two enjoyed
"a long and animated discussion con-
cerning the system of transfers soon to
go into operation. over the new eXten.
sion of the Oak street line. In careless
way had placed my foot upon the seat,
or rather my toe was against the edge
but in no danger of harming the wood
work. The gripman reached over and
in an authoritative tone said:
"Yous musttalle yer feet OFF the seats.
See the sign? Them's our orders from
headquarters, and we must obey them.
"'Is that SOP said l. DO you obey
all the orders that are given out"
"'Sure.' said he.
"'What's that order up thereT said l.
"'Which?' said he.
"'That one that says: Don't talk
to the gripman." You have been talk
ing to your friend for Is minutes and
never once told him to stop talking to
you
'He looked dazed for half minute,
and then said:
"'That's one on me, partner. Let's
saw wood, and say nothin'.'
''Then rested my feet in peace"

GRANTS LOG CABIN OEcAYiNG.
Structure Removed from St. Louis to
Philadelphia Needs Care.

Philadelphia Needs Care.
The old log cabin once owned and oc-
cupied by Gen. Grant, which he had
brought to Philadelphia from st. Louis
20 years ago and which is now in Fair
mount park, is fast decaying. Many Of
the logs have been rotted by the ele-
ments and others have been carried
away by relic hunters.
Gen. Grant presented the cabin, with
the original furniture in it, TO his
friend, the late George II. Stuart. It is
still the property of the Stuart estate,
and neither the city nor the park com
missioners can do anything with it.
George II. Stuart, Jr., applied four
years ago for permission to remove it
from the park, and permission was
granted, provided the grounds would
be restored to their original condition.
Nothing has been done in the matter
since. 1t is possible that the grand
army men will take some action toward
preserving the cabin.

A curious instance of hairbreadth es-
capes was recorded with the explosion
of steamship in Monmouthshire dry
docks. Two men who were standing
on the quay at the time of the she ok
were lifted bodily off their feet, car
ried back some distance and hurled to
the bottom of the adjacent craving
dock. where they found themselves
standing side by side uninjured.

IF there were more educational
matters discussed in the Legislature
aud less physical culture" affairs,
It is possible that the general appro-
priation bill would not read 1913, 600
for the support Of the State prison,
against $3S, 500 for all educational
purposes, including the teachers at
the orphans home, the salary and
travelling expenses of the State Su-
perintendent and support Of the Uni
versity.
1t is crying shame and disgrace
that many children are allowed to
follow their own sweet will about at
tending school. If the boys or girls
choose to go to school, all right; if
not they stay away. There never
was truer proverb than the one
which says that " Satan finds some
mischief for idle hands to do.
What we need if Nevada ever in
tends being anything but "rotten
borough " is a rigid compulsory edu-
cation law, and officials who will en-
force the law.

IT is said that fifteen gallons of
beer were consumed in the United
States last year for every man,
woman and child, or nearly nine
hundred millions of gallons in all
The larger part of this is consumed,
proportionally, in the great cities
the three worst offenders being Gin
cinnati with eighty gallons each
year for every man, woman and
child; st. Louis, with ninetythree
and Milwaukee with 1902. AS tens Of
thousands OF the people never touch
it under any circumstances, it will
be seen how certain portions of the
population make beer barrels of
themselves, and why it is that the
times are so hard in many homes
where the money that should go for
food and clothes and fuel goes into
the hands of the barkeeper and
brewer. And yet these people call
temperance fanaticism.

Official Paper Of Esmeralda County.
.........M MARCH II, 1897

THE movements of Senator Wal
colt have been most remarkable. 1t
is the first time in the history of this
government that an individual has
deputed himself to sound foreign gov
eminent on question of the gravest
Importance. A Senator has no au-
thority to engage in a diplomatic
mission by virtue of the position he
holds. 1t is contrary to common
sense for government to communi-
cate what it will do to person with
no embassadorial powers. When the
the government deputies to one au-
thority to represent it, foreign pow
ers will listen and make some kind of
an answer.
Wolcott vent off with flourish of
trumpets and he has been blowing
his little horn ever since he has been
on the other side OF the Atlantic.
Aside from his own pretensions all
the evidence is TO the effect that
though he has been courteously treat
ed on account of his senatorial posi-
ton, he has hardly been listened to
respectfully, but has elected no ia
vorable response. Any other re-
suit could not have been expected,
and no man of sound judgment would
have gone on such wild goose chase.
He has done only harm and should
be ignored and suppressed. Every
step taken in the nature of impor-
tuning European governments to
oblige us, is hurtful to the cause and
humiliating to America. The posi-
ton this government should assume
is one of demand, not of supplica-
ton, one of independence, not of de-
pendence.

THE ARMY'S NEW SCHEME
Proposition to Form Stock
Company Where All May
Hold Shares.
The Wood Camp Is Flourishing
Room for a Score More Men
There.

Major Winchell of the Salvation Army
will leave for Santa Rosa to-day to look at
some other lands that have been offered
him for colonization purposes. He says
Santa Rosa is entirely alive to the benefits
likely TO accrue from the establishment of
the colony near their city. One man
raised $400 to advance the scheme.
The committee of the Chamber of Com
merce, he says, is not giving the plan the
active support it will when the work on
the boulevard is concluded. Then the
committee will concentrate its energies in
the direction of establishing the colony.
1t is suggested that the colony be formed
into stock company, with shares at 81,
which shares may be sold to rich and
poor or to whomever will buy. 1t is
thought fund might be raised in this
way sufficient to launch and carry forward
the scheme.
Major Wincheil said yesterday the Sal.
vation Army wood camp was fourishine
famously. There are thirty men EN-,
ployed there, some of them cutting a cord
OF wood day. He says there is room for
twenty more men. provision for whom
will be made if they apply at the camp.
The fare there is 65 cents. They are cuIti
waiting forty acres of land in potatoes
there, besides cutting the timber. by way
of preparing themselves for taking up the
little ranches.
