week on seeing what she supposed

room that she died from the effects
a few hours afterwards. The girls
shrieks caused her mother and sis,
ter to rush to the room. and they
found her so terror stricken that
she was nearly speechless and, point
ing to the object of. her fright, wen,
off into an epileptic fit. Upon
investigation, the "horrid man.
proved to be her cloak and hat that
hung on the wall in position
where the light from a gas lamp
cast a strange shadow about it.
The poor girl died in a few hours

Carson Might W elcome q Stats Lottery

A dispatch from Carson, New,
March 2Sth, says: The town was
elated this morning when the pa
pers suggesting the establishment
of lottery in Nevada arrived. The
proposition was discussed here two
years ago, but met with opposition
from ali quarters, as it was never
fully understood. An effort to pass
bill through the legislature was
made but not pushed energetlcaily'
and the scheme was retained Sc
cret by it's promoters until after the
legislative effort failed.
Many people expressed their ap.
probation on the subject to-day, and
said that they would exert every
power to encourage such a measure
The report was rife that Governor
Sadler would call an extra session
of the legislature to consider the
matter, and that he had given his
promise to Dan Stuart to DO 80
The Governor was questioned this
afternoon and said that the affair
had never been suggested to him.
would you call an extra session
of the legislature if popular clamol
demanded itp" be was asked.
"I.should not" he retorted, "un
der any consideration. ! could moi
do so in justic to the people OF my
state. The expense would be an un
necessary burden for them to bear
and the agitation would be simply
a matter of small moment to me
If they wish any lottery in Nevads
they will have to wait for two years
when the Legislature will meet ii
regular session. Personally l know
nothing of the benefits that lot
terry would bring to Nevada"

Great suffering is reported among
the Cretans in the interior part OF
the Island. A correspondent who
recently visited some of the insur-
gents camps, in describing the
journey, says that in crossing the
mountain near little village be
heard weird voices across the deep,
impossible ravine, issuing appar.
emily from the bowels of the earth
and adds: 1--WE stopped and through
our field glasses saw emaciated
women and children emerging from
cave high up in the craggy peaks
They were the wives and children
Of Christians seeking refuge from
the Turks and living upon roots
The writer says he saw hundreds
of furnishing people, once wealthy,
begging for food.

A Shame,

AT 81 o'clock last Tuesday evening
there were two people in Ravenscrofts'
Opera House to hear DR.. j. H. Nc
Cams lecture and see the demon
strations of electric force through his
X-ray apparatus. This was real OPP
portunity for the people to hear and
see a scientific illustration Of subject
that is engaging the attention Of the
greatest students of the day, as we'll as
to show proper appreciation of the eff
forts of citizen to please them. But
as the doctor is "a prophet in his own
country" it is probable that fact ac-
counts for it.
Meanwhile, the force of the proverb
is further verified by audiences ex-
ceeding two attending Prof. Lew
Dale's "projectograph," an exagger
ated kinetoscope-at same place.

A combination is being formed by which
the opera houses at Oakland, Homecoming
Piedmont, Keyser and Frostburg will all be
brought under one management, with prob
ably Mr. John Shartzer, of Oakland. at the
head. For some time past the management
of the opera house at Cumberland has refused
to admit troupes to their srSlA unless an
agreement could be made with them to not
play at the above named places This is a
great barrier as it prevents many of the best
plays from coming to these towns, they pre-

is to stop this unfair business of the Cumber-

is but fair that they should have the best

Arrested and lSaiIed.

The verdict of the coroner's jury in
the Wayman Dorsey case occasioned
talk sufficient to induce the county
authorities to investigate the circum-
stances through detective Mcdonald,
and on Monday this officer had a
warrant issued for the arrest of James
"A. Rankin. Deputy-sheriff J. T. Koch
executed it. and justice Smeltz COM
mitted the prisoner to jail. Wednes-
day he was released in the sum of
$1,000 bail.
The charge is murder, some of the
testimony before the jury of inquest
seeming to give color to the allegation
that Dorsey was very severely handled
before he was elected from Rankin's
place.
The April grand jury will probe the
matter.
Some sympathy for Rankin is felt
by a number who think that in resent
ing trouble forced on him he overdid
the thing.
