A Description Of Its Present Con
ditto. Taken From . Carson
Newspaper.
The State Prison Of Nevada as now con-
Quoted may be properly called Q corrective
Institution. There Is now In the prison
sixty. seven men and one woman. The
administration is conducted by the War
den. two officers. nine guards, an official
physician and chaplain. The religious
services are non.secsarisn and the physic
alopathic.
The Warden. Mr.. L. o. Henderson, hes
been In charge two and one-hslf years.
When he took charge the prison was in .
most dilapidsted condition, no~twishstand-
ing the appropriation for the Institution
has been diminished constantly, he has
made valuable and substantial improve
ments. The entire plant WAS practically
without roofs and is now thoroughly pro.
tected in that particular.
A new hospital has been built and fur
nished in . comfortable manner and
while 1t Is very seldom that anyone about
the prison is sick, when that added mis-
fortune overtakes the unfortunate. they
are provided with every comfort essential
TO their recovery.
A new engine house and modern ma
chinery has been provided, which is pre-.
sided over BY one Of the u~nfortunates who
is . thoroughly competent engineer.
The dining rooms and tables present an
especially inviting appearance; the tables
having been covered with oil cloth and
the room tsssefully decorated by the GUS
todian. New and modern closets have
been built md . new bath ROOF provided
and furnished with warm shower baths.
This has been adopted 20 that there should
be no danger Of spreading any infection
which was liable to occur through the use
Of the wooden bath tub. The present. plan
is especially approved by the pri.oners,
who are required TO take Q bath every
Sunday and change clothes. - Carson

THE CUMFoO DANCE.

One of the Popular Pastimes OF the Ne
groes In DemerAra-
The negro has undoubtedly very
strong inclination to sleep in the day
and to spend the night in gossip, dancing
or singing. On this account he is often
a nuisance to his neighbors. especially
when he has a wake. AS his home is
often nothing more than a single room
about eight feet square, the funeral
party is conducted in the open yard.
Here oongregate 90 TO 100 people, who
begin the entertainment with hymns,
going on after midnight to songs and
games and often winding up toward
morning with free fight. Then there
is the cumfoo dance, one of the finest
institutions in the world for producing
nightmare. Two men beat drums with
the hands, the one instrument produc-
ing a tumtum and the other rattle
rattle, almost without intermission dur
ing the whole night. At intervals of
about minute the party utters weird
cry in some African language which
startles you as you lie in bed vainly try
ing to sleep. AS hour after hour passes
your house appears to vibrate, the bed
shakes and your spine feels as if made
up of loose segments. How can the
drummers keep this up for ten hours?
And the dancers? With the latter ex-
haustion alternates with the renewal of
the orgy; one set falls down and anoth-
er takes its place. This aud other dances
are connected with obeah, the witch
cult of the African.
Every negro and most of the colored
people have an innate fear of the Obeah
man, however they may deny it TO the
whites. One of the latest developments
of this superstition was brought to my
notice short time ago in connection
with cricket match. The East Coast
Invincibles and the Admirable Creolians
were TO play match, and from a few
words dropped by the captain of the lat
ter it appears that he was sure of vic
tory TO his side because notable obeah
man had oiled their bat.-Saturday Re.

Then he kicked over an Alp, waded

actor with a reputation must decline to

His Sacrifice.

Darling" he said, looking down
tenderly into the eyes of his bride, II
have often heard you say that there is
no true love without self sacrifice You
have taught me this great truth, and
now am going to prove my love by
giving up something that has been very
dear to me for years You know how
fond am OF smoking. Well, dearest,
am going to abandon the practice. even
though 1t be like tearing out my-my"-
At this point his emotion apparently
overcame him, and he looked down at
the sweet face, expecting to see there
appreciation of his noble resolve, but
he saw only look OF blank disappoint-
ment.
what is the matterP Are you not
glad that am following your teach
ing?" he asked.
Its not that, she answered, almost
RObbing. Never mind what 1t is" And
she rushed from the room.
The self sacrificing hero smiled. He
had learned from his wife's dearest
friend that she had set her heart on
buying him half dozen boxes Of cigars
covered with lovely silver paper wrap
pers, with pictures in the middle.
And that is what gave birth to hi
noble resolution. Pearson 8 Weekly.

T Zach the diseased portion of ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness
and that rs by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets
infiamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing. and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result
and unless the inflammation can be tax
en- out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
strOyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth

mucous surfaces.

Catarrh) that can not be cured by
