;ill tiny babies Marriages of love are
absolutely unknown, even more SO
than in Franco, and the father is most
particular that the intended husband
must have an ample provision to sup
port Il wife and family. For the girl u
dowry is not so important as in France,
but a certain amount of linen and house
hold furniture is generally required.
The whole training aud education of a
Greek girl are simply a preparation to
render her brilliant in the society of
the great world. Her toilet is Il subject
of constant anxiety. Although most
Greek girls are naturally very pretty,
they leyin to paint and powder from a
very early age-checks bright red, eye
brows and lashos deepest black and
veins dolcately blue, The result is she
is wilhcred old woman at 40, and no.
where are uglier women to be found
than beneath the Eluo skies of lovely
Greece. Next in Importance to beauty
come languages. Every Greek family
who can afford it keeps a French nurse
or maid, and French is universally spo-

TO UNWATER
 TIE COMSTOCK The Great Project Is
 Really Begun. STARTING POINTS ORDERED FIRST MEETING OF COMPANY
 DIRECTORS. Representatives of Twenty Four Companies Organize and Will Hear From Superintend-
 ents Old and New.
STARTING POINTS ORDERED
FIRST MEETING OF COMPANY
 DIRECTORS.

The Comstock mining companies yester-
 day took their first definite and united
 action regarding the great project of un- watering the Comstock mines and re- surning operations below the Comstock
 tunnel level.
 Twenty-four companies were represent
 ed at a meeting held in the afternoon in
 the office of the Consolidated California and Virginia Company in the Nevada
 block. These representatives had been
 elected at various meetings of the re- spectiye boards of directors. The joint committee organized by electing Charles
 H. Fish president and A. Waterman sec retary, and by creating an executive committee consisting of William Bannan, E. P. Barrett, George R. Wells, John Landers and Charles Hirschfeld.
 The committee did the wise and nat
 ural thing by taking steps to compile all the reliable information obtainable con- corning the actual condition of the flooded levels of all the mines and the possibilities of their profitable operation. To this end the superintendents Of all
 the mines were ordered to report to the committee by September IA the condition of the mines below the Sutro tunnel level when those levels were abandoned six teen years ago. The secretaries of the different companies were directed to com pile all the similar information In the
 
 file. This getting together all that is really known about the flooded depths will form a starting point and clear the way for further action. The action of the committee was expressed in the fol- lowing resolution adopted unanimously on motion of MT. Hirschfeld
 Resolved That the superintendents of the mines of the following named companies, to- wit: Alta Silver Mining Company, Alpha Con- solidated Mining and Milling Company, Andes Silver Mining Company, Belcher Silver Min ing Company Best & Belcher Silver Mining Company, Bullion Mining Company, Caledonia Silver Mining Company, Challenge Consoli- dated Mining Company. Chollar Mining Com pany. Confidence Silver Mining Company. Con- soIidated California and Virginia Mining Com pany Consolidated Imperial Mining Company.

pany, Sierra Nevada Silver Mining Company Silver Hill Mining Company. Union Consoll- dated Silver Mining Company, Utah Consoli- dated Mining Company and Yellow Jacket Sil- yer Mining Company be, and they hereby tee before the 14th day of September 1898, the condition of the mines of the above named companies shown by actual work below the Sutro tunnel level of said mines, and also whether any bodies of ore ndica- tions of bodies of ore exist below said level and also as to the advtsability of pumping out the water from said mines and the resumption of mining below said level; and 1t Is further
 Resolved That the secretaries of said com panes be requested forthwith to make copies of so much of the reports of the superintend- ents of said companies since the year 1882 as refer to the workings of said mines below said level. and deliver the same to said superin- tendents as soon as possible, so that said su- perintendents may know from the official re- ports the condition of said mines below said level.
 The following were the companies rep resented at the meeting: Alta, John Landers; Alpha, Charles Hirschfeld; ; Belcher, James Newlands; Best & Belch- CT, George R. Wells; Bullion, Messrs. lands; Chollar, Messrs. Goodwin and Bar ry; New York, Charles Hirschfeld: Ex- chequer, Charles Hirschfeld: Hale & Nor cross N w Fox; Justice, A. Waterman; H.

 This immense project, upon which all hopes of the restoration of the greatness and glory of the worlds most famous mining camp now chiefly rest, was thus yesterday advanced beyond the stage of mere talk. The problem has been def initely attacked, and there is plenty of ground for the faith that the scheme will not end in reports and resolutions, but that the riches abandoned half mile below the surface when the stock gam blers demanded immediate dividends will again be uncovered and set old Virginia City to humming once more.

sermon at the Baptist church Sunday.
Miss Margaret Hunter, Of Cnerrytield,
gave the memorial address at the town
hall this afternoon. Notwithstanding
the prevailing dsmpness, large and at
tentive audience gathered, filling the
room to overlooking. Those present had
not forgotten Miss Hunters eloquence
when here three years ago, and, as then,
her patriotism, loyal and appreciatiYe
words for the veterans, her tender and
reverential illusions to the honored dead,
swayed with responsive emotions the
hearts e her hearers. The band and choir
rendered appropriate music. The open
ing invocation was by Rev. II. F. Day.
Rev. ]. f. Lombard made the closing
prayer.
As q fitting close to the busy day, there
was a musical and literary programme
arranged for and most creditably and
periodically carried out in the Metho-

by the lads and lassies was a pleasing ex-
ercise-Lula Havey at the organ. The
songs I'VE Old Boys, by William Blais-

by Florence Dunn, called forth prolonged
