There are tricks in all trades, but
true story related to me by the cashier
of an uptown pharmacy unhesitating-
ly yields the palm to that of the drug
gist, says New York correspondent of
the Pittsburgh Dispatch. Comment
on the brisk demand for soda water
caused the young man to remark.

residents Of this neighborhood, not
withstanding the fact that the queer

passed over the counter on one of our
recent hot nights. Our cream gave
out, and as the dairies were closed, we
were at our wits ends to assuage the
thirst of the crowd. After some dis
cussion the proprietor suddenly
slipped downstairs. He soon returned

its contents into the fountain. In

Platform.

The Silver Party of Nevada pledges Its un.
wave, ing devotion to the principles Of govern
ment laid down by Jefferson and Lincoln:
That the highest duty Of government is to so
regulate its laws that the spirit Of equality
shall follow men through life, giving each amp.
lost opportunity to work out to the fullest
measure his possibilities. unrestricted by law,
and unaffected by the conquest of his domin-
ion of opportun ty by other men. We indorse,
RS eNpr, SS'ng tho demands of tho American
people in consonanCo with the foregoing, tho
platform of the National Silver party formu-
lated mt st. Louis, July % 1886, and the finan-
cial plank OF the National Democratic party
adopted at Chicago, July Z, 1896.
The history of the movement for the rCstora.
ton OF bimetallism Is the glorious story of Ne.
vada's leadership. The educational work so
periodically undertaken six years ago has
spread throughout tho entire country On tho
Issue that the value Of money 1s quantitativo

cal forces Of nations are now battling. Mind.
full Of her glorious record Nevada will take her
place again in the conflict, not rs the ally of
uold, but on tho sido Of those who struggle in
the fields Of adversely.
We reaffrm our devotion to the free and un
limited coinage of silver at the ratio Of 16 to l
by the independent action of the United States,
aud We are unaltcrably opposed to the Repub-
hcan policy Of increasing the bonded debt; OF
transferring the sovereign power of the gov
ernment to issue money to banking institu-
lions; OF contracting the circulating medium
to the single gold standard, and of increasing
taxation while contraction is diminishing the
means Of payment.
Our faith in the loyalty. ability, and wise lead
erShip Of William j. Bryan is undiminished,

Time for Leisure.

A London correspondent, describing
the difference between London and
New York, says of the former: "One
feels, too that though the bread may
be trifle harder to get, there is a
greater realization here that man
does not live by bread alone and that
leisure is of some value, and its use not
to be regarded as q symptom of in
sanity"

The Kennebec Journal prints a story

WIS IN ALL 4 MEMORABLE SESSION,

Washington, July 1.-THE pass.
ing Of the second session of the
Bifty.hfth congress marks the close
OF the first war session Of congress in
a quarter Of century.
Hawaiian annexation, Spain and
Cuban war appropriation and war
revenue legislation, organization of
the vast volunteer army and expan-
sion Of the navy, new bankruptcy
laval these were features Of tue
session. Notable speeches and dra-
matte scenes over foreign issues were
comparatively frequent IN both legis-
l1tiye chambers. Urgent deficiency
bills, carrying millions Of dollars,
were rushed through with far less de-
lay than marked the course Of an or.
binary measure Ct little importance.
The total appropriations footed al
most 100000, 600, and upwards of
$500, 100000 Of this was for purely
war purposes, 1t was the largest
aggregate by any session since the
civil war, and the general deficiency
was the largest separate measure since
tue 100000, 900 single appropria-
lion 10 1868.
The naval appropriation bill pro-
yided for three new battleships, four
monitors, sixteen torpedo destroyers,
twelve torpedo boats and one gun
boat. The urgent deficiency bills
al carried provisions for aggressive
gorh in the prosecution Of the war.
Cuba and Hawaii were the impor-
ant matters of debate, and provoked |
he most widespread interest. Ha,
"aiian annexation finally passed at
he close, was aeitatcd throughout
he session first in treaty form, in ex.

The first real war legislation was
when congress placed, without limi-
,ations, $50, 100000 in the presi-
lents hands as an emergency fund
for national defense. Party lines
were sSept away and both houses
unanimously voted its confidence in
the administration. Soon sfterward

Washington, July 1.-THE aux
ilary cruiser ST. Louis reached Ports
mouth, n. H., yesterday with fifty
four Spanish officers and 6Ss Spanish
seamen, captured after the destruct-
ion OF Cervera's squadron. Though
the prisoners did not know where
they were being taken, the voyage
was without SPECIAL incident.
Before sailing parole was offered
all tie officers, and only one, a lieu
tenant, refused it. He was placed in
confinement. The others were given
staterooms, ate 10 the saloon, and
practically had the freedom OF the
ship. The enlisted men were quar-
tered in the steerage, and were given
the same food as the crew. Several
cases of fever developed on the voy'
age. but it was no! the dread yellow

A NameleSS Heroine.

The avalanche at Chilkoot pass was
series of life tragedies. The argo.
nauts who were suddenly hurled into
eternity each had high, heroic pur-
pose of saving home or family by
finding gold in the Klondike. The
incidents of that awful hour when the
avalanche snuffed out their candles in
an instant or when they were cut off
from the world will never be known.
There will be no record of many a
heroic act in that sudden crisis.
But there was one nameless heroine
One lonely little woman whose de-
votion has won all hearts. Among
the rescuers who hastened to the
avalanche, was a little scarred-faced
woman with sallow complexion and
black eyes, says the chronicler. "Her
face If it was ever beautiful, had been
SCARED by some accident. She worked
heroically. After IL hours of toll in
the snow, she CARED for the injured at
the hospital, administering to the suf.
fering as only woman can. Before
that day her name had not been
spoken with much reverence in Sheep
Camp. Now it is sounded as rever.
emily as if she were a mother" Yet
no name is given by the chronicler OF
this brave little heroine. She is con.
tent to be nameless. She is content
to save mankind and to be herself for.
gotten. 1t is striking picture of wo
manly devotion. 1t is gem OF virtue
in the midst of the dark background
of the Chilkoot horror.
