The Old Soldier.

The soldiers homes established by the
government are of two kinds: for reg
ular soldiers and sailors, and those fol
volunteers who served in the civil war
They are'in no sense aims houses but
are homes where the government pro-
*ides food, quarters, clothing, ETC., fol
all who, having been honorably dis
charged from the army or. navy, are
unable to earn a living..by labor.
Every visitor to Washington carries
away pleasant recollectlons of the
beautiful SOLDIERS Home" grounds,
which are located just north of the
city. Here, in PARK of 700 acres, are
the building erected for the shelter
and recreation of those who have serv-
ed in the regular service of the United
States. ="
They comprise library, hospital,
theatre, dining rooms, etc, and quar-
ters for 1850 man. Those who receive
pension of more than SIG a month
are not eligible to the Home unless
the reasons are very urgent. AS no
woman or children are admitted, of
course it breaks up the private home
circle, if any such previously existed.
If the person thus admitted is a pen
sioner drawing SIG or less month, he
may assign it to his wife, child or par
ent. Otherwise it is payable to the
officers in charge, to be held in trust,
the soldier receiving such sums as
may be thought proper, the balance
being paid in full when he leaves the
home.
to maintain the home a small sum is
deducted each month from the pay of
every enlisted soldier and sailor.
There are seven national homes for
disabled volunteer soldiers and sailors,
all of them under charge of the War
department, with headquarters at
HartfOrt, Conn.
The largest OF these is at Dayton,
O., where 5000 old soldiers live. The
home at Hampton, Va, provides for
3,l00 men; those at Milwaukee, Wis,
and Leavenworth, Kansas, for 1900
men each; and those at Togus, Me-,
Santa Monica, Cal. and Marion, Ind.
for about 1000 each. -
So far as possible all the minor posi-
tions are filled by inmates. and all
who wish to perform manual work
are given employment on the farms or
in the various shops. They are paid
by the hour for work, and in this way,
hundreds earn enough to buy tobacco
and other small luxuries. 80.
In addition to the National Homes,
twenty-six states maintain private
homes, which are wholly independent
of the War department. The Wyom-
ing home last year had only IA in
mates, while those of Ohio, New York
and Illinois had over 1000 each.

GREAT suffering, resulting from lack
of employment for those who depended
upon securing tat jobs, is reported
from Skaguay. Frank II. Reid writes
that the situation is pitiful. 1t could
have been helped, but it is now too
late to help those who have already
been caught. All that is pertinent for
the booming press to do is to warn
people not to go to Alaska without
provisions enough for their entire So
journ there and money enough to pay
their fare back home, for both of these
are necessities, if not, indeed, life-sav-
ers.-Whatcom Blade.

MISTOOK THE ALTITUDE.
jim Yerington.s Experience With
an Eastern Preacher.

Some years ago when jim Y~eringtOn
was booming Hawthorne and Walker
Lake and its surroundings, he reached
the conclusion that the town was badly
in need of a spiritual boom and with that
idea in view he was mainly instrumental
in inducing a clergyman to come out
from the East, with a view of leading the
unregenerate citizens of Hawthorne into
the straight path.
The preacher arrived and after meeting
Jim he became filled with the boom idea.
IF not inconsistent with yOur position as
a preacher of morality, you might inci-
dentally touch a little on the boom pros
poets of this town. said Jim. "%IrrigatiOn,
mining and the like, and the deserts
blOssoming like the rose, you know.
Water making glad the waste places aud
all that sort of thing. OF course you I'M
derstand how to slip 'em in to a sermon
so that they ont look like an actual ad-
vertisement of my schemes here
The preacher realized that it was the
activity of his new friend and his popu-
larity in Hawthorne that caused the peo-
pie to pungle mp the monthly stipend.
Inv P1N"NhC al" liz lioIouSHly ullItI-
stood the situation, and Jim began TO
think that he had forgotten all about the
Hawthorne boom on Sunday, when in the
sermon he suddenly landed out with:
My hearers! When | see before me
so many intelligent faces, l wonder why
there is such a population of fools in the
town. Irrigation would make this place
blossom like the rose, yet you do none of
1t. The precious gifts of God lie at your
doors and you do not utilize them. There
is water enough in this beautiful lake.
close to the town, to irrigate thousands of
acres of the finest land on earth. All
that is required is to dig the bitches and
let the priceless treasures of nature flow
on the land. Why is this not done?"
"Because,' said one of the congregation
rising alphabetically, because water
won run up hill"
The preacher closed his discourse and
sought to hid his embarrassment by
sending jim down the aisle with the
plate, bu the donations were not large.
He learned after the service that Haw-
thorne was about 500 feet higher thar
Walker Lake when you come to throw
a surveying instrument over the prOpO-
sltlon, but owing to certain atmospheric
conditions it really looked lower.

No Business.

"A few days ago a we'll known travel
ing agent of a San Francisco tailoring
establishment, came to Carson with his
samples. He had been taking large lines
OF orders in this section of Nevada for
nearly twenty years and had numbers of
regular customers whose measures he
had for clothes. One day in Carson con-
WINGED him that he could not do business
here.
He was told that there was a home in
dustry boom in Carson and that in future
only local tailors would be ]patronized.
lie accepted the situation g~raciously and
moved on. He found that he could do
business in Virginia City and Reno. but
not III Carson. His old patrons had no
fault to find with his work. but thew
felt that 1t was their duty to patronize
the nome merchants instead of the San
L Francisco houses who contribute moth
ing whatever toward the municiple ex-
penses Of carson City.
This is a good beginning and the time
Will come when the drummers. who
compete with home merchants. will not
find it profitable to stop off at Carson.

A Good Company.

The company that comes here next
week to play at popular prices must lie
a very good one judging from the follow
ing notice in the Virginia Report:
Paper's Opera House was packed to the
rooflast evening with the large and en-
thusiastic audience that came there to
witness the performance of the "WOven
WeD," The latter is a drama of war
times and is thought by some to far sur
pass Bronson Towards "~Shenadoah,'
"Rosedale," "Lynwood' or any other of
those stale old dramas of the civil war.
The play is full of novel and startling
ideas, and represents new and strange
phases of character and modes of action.
In the present day law firms don't gem
orally leave valuable papers lying around
the room for the inspection of callers:
but in the primeval simplicity of ancient
times-say 81 years ago-it was quite a
common practice, according to THE
Woven WEBB
The rendition of the play by the COM
pany was a thing unparalleled on the
ComStock, and nearly every member Of
the troupe received enthusiastic applause.
MIR. Lew Gale played the part of Uncle
Toby so well that he was called before
the curtain after the third act, to which
he responded in a graceful speech, thank
ing the audience for the honor conferred
upon him.
From the fact that the audience is in a
TIT OF laughter from the time the curtain
goes up until it falls again, it may be
easily inferred that comedy is the strong
forte of the company.

That State Teachers Institute

me Keno Gazette very unjustly criti-
cised H. c. Cutting, State Superintendent
OF Schools, for selecting Winnemucca as
the place for holding the next State
teachers Institute. We say unjustly
because the criticisms were not fair and
were doubtless inspired by motives other
tina a desire to advance the educational
interests of the State. The reasons why
thec CRITICISMS were not fair become an
parent from the fact that Winnemucca
is the natural meeting point for the teach
ers of Central Nevada and outside of the
Gazette sanctum there is no expressed
desire for Western Nevada to hog everv-
thing in sight this year. Virginia CITY
Will doubtless nave the Silver Party
State convention, the Republican State
convention will go to Carson or Reno
Carson will have the Grand LOdpes of
the Masons, knights of Pythias and odd
felloWs, and Reno will have the State
Fair. 1t is many years since Winne-
mucca had the State Teachers Institute
and for a succession of years before 1897
the Institutes were held in Western Ne
Vada. The ma'ams of Central Nevada
are entitled to consideration at this time
and Winnemucca is their choice. So we
uphold State superintendent Cutting for
selecting Wlnnemucca, an impartial
choice, and hope he will make the COM
ing meeting the unqualified success he
has made the other institutes held dur
ing his term of otice.-Wadsworth Dis

in the Philippine islands, announcing that
'he had acceded to Admiral Deweys re-
quest to open Philippine ports. subject to
ratification by tho Madrid government.

is trying to persuade the Duke of Tetuan,
now leader of the diffdent conservatives,
to join the peace commission.

Of deputies have expressed strong belief
