Schley Slapped Sampson.

The Baltimore Sun is responsible
for the following anecdote concerning
Sampson and Schley:
When Schley was either an ensign
or a Lieutenant, he was on board ship
with Sampson. One day Sampson,
then a Lieutenant. missed some ba-
nanas which he had hung up in the
ship to ripcn. He was very angry
over the loss OF the fruit, and tried to
iod the thief. Finally he came to
the conclusion that a certain marine
was the culprit, and sent for HIM and
accused him. Of taking the bananas.
The marine replied Indignantly that
he had not seen The bananas and he
was no thief. This infatuated Samp.

ave the poor marine an immense
lose Of ipecac.
Schley was ashore at the time. but
when he returned he saw the marine
suffering. Schley asked Sampson
who had administered the powerful
drug that had caused tue suffering
of the sailor. Sampson told the
Whole incident. The matter so in
censed Schley that he exclaimed:
3No gentleman would treat a poor
marine that way!" And Schley, fol.
lowing the exclamation, slapped
SIMPSONS face.
Then d scene followed. Sampson
demanded satisfaction. Schley re.
minded him that 1t was against the
regulations for naval officers to re-
ceive OF send challenges to fight a
duel, but added: "That need not pre-
vent your getting satisfaction, sir.
We can both resign today and then
fight it out"
Sampson did not resign, did not
seek satisfaction, and the matter was
apparently dropped the:e. But it
appears that Sampson has nevel for
gotten the episode, and the sting OF
Schley's slap is still felt.

Truckee RivOr Water Power.

An electrician arrive hear yester-
day and two more will be on the lode
this week for the purpose Of obtain
ing data TO present to the managers
of Comstock mines OF the cost of
utilizing the water mower of the
Truckee and Carson Rivers for oper-
atrng an electric plant to drain the
flooded levels.
This indicates that the resumption
of deep INNING is receiving serious
consideration and that as soon as the
cost is ascertained and one Of the
many varieties of pumping systems
selected that the work OF draining the
mines will begin.
AS the future prosperity Of the en-
tire State is involved in the project
there should be no difficulty in OBJ
tanning aid from the next Legislature
i'll the form Of a bond issue to defray
at least, a portion of the cost OF drain
ing the Comstock levels, the bonds to
be paid from the bullion proceeds Of
ore bodies developed below the Sutro
tunnel level.
The ore found on the Belcher 27OO
level prior to the Suspension of deep
mining in 1883, is said to be OF an ex
tent and grade that it extracted the
bullion returns would more than pay
the cost of drainage and the proba-
bilty that far more valuable ore de-
v~elopments will be made when deep
mining is resumed at other points on
the lode, insures the State against
loss on the proposed bond issue

This wailing is, however, nothing to

deceased. When l was staying in the

One of the new stars, Miss Janet
Waldorf, pays Salt Lake visit on
Monday and Tuesday evening. She is
a young actress who was discovered
by Mrs. Ada Dow Currier, the same
lady who. presented Julia Marlove to
the public, and of her work in THE
Hunchback' and 'Ingomar," the two
plays she presents here, the San Fran
cisco Chronicle says:
Those present at the Baldwin last
evening experienced the dramatic treat
of the season. That fair debutante
and coming actress, Janet Waldorf
played Parthenia in 'Ingomar' as it
has never been played here before, and
her consummate acting was far and
away ahead of any seen on the local
stage il years. She has been pro-
nounced the equal of Julia Marlowe,
and all she needs right now to make
her name as famous, debutante though
she be, is a mere thorough acquaint-
ance with the theatre going public. We
predict that within a few. years people
win be proud to say they have heard
