TRAGEDY .oFe:MoNr BLANC
One OF the Calamities That Frequent
IL Visit the Famous
Mountain.

The story of the destruction of the
baths Of ST. GervaiS, at the foot Of Mont
Blanc, in 1892, is told in 1.-The Annals of
Mont Blanc" This was one of the ca
,lamities that scarcely could have been
predicted or averted.
Owing to the stoppage Of the sub
glacial drainage, in some way never as
icertained, lake was formed under the
Tete Rouse glacier, in which an enor-
nous body. Of water was pent up at a
spot 10000 feet above the sea level. Be
tween one and two o'clock on the night
OF July IL, 1892, the ice that had held
the lake gave way. 8
The water swept in q torrent of ire
mendous force over the Desert de Pierre
Ronde, gathering up thousands of tons
OF rock and stones in it's course. 1t
passed with a terrific roar under the
hamlet of Bionnassay, which it did not
injure, destroyed half the village of
Bionnay, on the highroad between Con-
tamines and st. Gervais, and, tearing up
trees as it went along, joined the main
river of the Bon-Nant.
Following the river bed, and destroy
ing on its way the old Pont du DiabIe,
it hurled its seething food of water,
timber, stones and mud upon the solid
buildings of the st. Gervais baths and
crushed them into fragments. Then,
crossing the Chamonix road, it spread
itself out in the form of hideous fan
over the valley of the Arve, destroying
part of the village of LIE Fayet in it's
way. .....-...
Such was the catastrophe of St. Ger
vais which claimed over $50 victims.
Utter ruin was everywhere. The once
lovely gardens of the baths were five or
six feet deep in mud, fine trees had been
snapped like reeds and enormous blocks
OF stone were strewn over the dreary
waste.

TEXAS FEVER.

The following editorial in Satur-
days Gazette sounds a note of warn
ing that the cattlemen of Elko county
should heed:
The State of California has mon
keyed with the federal quarantine
lines until Texas fever has a firm
foot hold in that State, and it is only
question Of time until it shows up
here. Our State Board of Health
has listened to cattlemen and men
having hay for sale and granted their
requests to open our gates to counties
i'll California, "where there was no
fever, and not likely to be-" The
Gazette thinks that the people will
regret lii time Of having done 30
While the climate of Nevada is such
for six months as to make Texas few
er almost impossible, the other six
months dre just suit for it. We hope
never to be called upon to record a
case OF Texas fever, but when it
breaks out so close to our border, and
cattle are being admitted from coun-
ties "where the disease does not exist"
we fear that we shall be called upon
to perform such a duty.

Crime In ENGLAND.

Sir James Vaughan, for IS years a
police magistrate Of London, notes a
wonderful decrease in crimes of bru-
tality and violence, and an increase, less
marked, in the crimes which require
brains and ingenuity. General educa-
ton doubtless favors morality and re-
fnement; but there Is in the cities
limited crop Of children with inherited
or acquired criminal tendencies; and
when these are gathered into school,
unless great pains are taken TO coun-
teract the influences of the street and
OF their wretohed fhomes, the mere
quickening ofsthe, intellect only gives
new power for mischief. w n.

NEWLANDS ON STATE DEVELOP
MENT.

Congressman Newlands addressed
the Carson Chamber Of Commerce on
the evening Of the 10th upon town
and State improvement, water stor-
age and land reclamation, good gov
eminent and reduction OF taxation.
In the course of his address he cited
instances OF capital abandoning
promising openings upon being in
formed of tax rates, which are nearly
as high as the interest rates in some
Of the States. That part of the adj
dress referring particularly to the
subject Of taxation has already ap-
peared in these columns.
Particular attention was drawn to
the necessity Of non Lartisan charac-
ter Of organization and the possibility
OF much good resulting from united
action in the lines indicated.
Mr.. Newlands referred to Douglas
county as an admirable instance Of
what united action would do. With
out calling in outside capital they
have taken hold of all matters relat-
ing to the growth Of their community
in business like way, have establish
ed creamery, flour mill, bought
sites for storage reservoirs, we're pre-
pairing to construct dams, establish
bank and were generally moving in
lines of business development.
Mr.. Newlands also said that he re-
garded the formation Of Chambers Of
Commerce and Improvement Clubs
as good sign Of the interest taken IN
the development Of the State. He
referred to the Merchants Associa-
ton in San Francisco as an instance
OF the enormous good to be accom-
plished. That body had been most
influential in securing the adoption
Of the New Charter, in securing a
just assessment and low tax rate,
and had inaugurated plan of mu-
nicipal improvement that would make
San Francisco beautiful city. 1t was
non partisan and it's whole inf1uen ce
was for good government. He
thought that the Carson Chamber of
Commerce was taking hold Of things
in the right way by moving along on
practical lines such as the establish
mont OF creamery and that the re-
suit Of it's efforts, if conducted with
discretion would be to unite the bus
mess, milling and agricultural inter.
ests along the the Carson river in co.
operative action that would increase
population and wealth md advance
efficient and economical government

CHAPTER ".
The Locket.

The next day passed pleasantly in
company with the young men, who
would spend, Madeline said, at least
a week or two at Denelands.
There had been. q hard frost for two
or three days and the ice onsthe lake
was quite strong enough to bear.
Madeline and Marjorie, attended by
the two young men, went to make
trial Of it.
Mr.. Hyde, though declining to put on
skates, stood on the bank and watched
them for some time.
e"You might invite a few Of your
young friends, and make skating
party Of it, he suggested to his daugh-
ter. "Sir Edward Mortimer and mis-
sisters would be glad to come, think:
and perhaps the divers. What do you
say?"
cAt the mention of Sir Edward Nor
timer, the two young men exchanged
glances, and seemed exceedingly
amused;
Marjorie saw their amusement and
wondered what caused 1t.
That, too, she was soon to under-
stand.
Skating by torchlight would be fine
fun. said Charles Hyde. How

Marjorie paid less attention tothese
little incidents than she might have
done had not her mind been almost
wholly engrossed by something else
that something else being neither r,ore
LOT less than the manner Of Mr.. Charles
Hyde towards herself.
All day long he has scarcely left her
side; when he did so, it was with re-
luctance, and he returned as soon as
he could.
Marjorie's heart beat high as she mo-
|ticed this, beat high with pleasure, for.

with this young man, she was already

ner. Madeline laughingly taking an
arm Of her father and her. cousin Ed
gar.
During the evening Marjorie, whose
perceptions we're very keen, made 2
discovery.
Madeline loved her cousin Edgar,
loved him with that all-absorbing, pas.
sionate devotion which one would nat
uraliy expect in q girlso her type.
Whether he returned her love. Mar
jorie could not be quite 30 sure.
There was evidently some kind Of an
understanding between them. {.
As, on their entrance he kissed her.

simple hand-shake, so, during the
whole evening, rhis manner. tosi1er was
iover-like; his place, Of right. seemed

She found it quite delightful to con-

he told her some capital stories Of his

standing near, caught a word or two
and said ..s - -

joined Madeline he repeated it to her,

Marjorie readily acquiesced, and a

thing of this kind-for the poor.

with interest. I'm glad you like it,
too"
But Madeline disclaimed all merit
in the transaction.
IF were left to myself should
never make a single garment" she
said, with frank carelessness. II do
it simply because my father wishes
it. He likes me to be kind to the in
digent."
'He is kind to everyone, I think"
said Marjorie, softly.
Miss Hyde made no answer.
A curious look fitted over her face
almost mocking look---as though she
had her own opinion about her fathers
kindness.
All that day Miss Hyde and Marjorie
were alone together. for the master of
the house did not return till early in
the evening.
Little by little the elder girls man
ner unbent.
The air of cold restraint dropped
from her: her face lighted up into new
beauty.
Marjorie said to herself
"Oh. how corild love her II only she
would always be like this.
The truth was it was Marjorie's own
sweetness that had softened Made
line.
There was charm about her which
won it's way to most hearts.
Hard indeed would have been the
heart that could resist her.
The two girls we're still sitting to-
gether by the morning room fire when
Mr.. Hyde returned.
81 hope we have something good for
dinner, Madeline" he said, cheerfully.
"Your cousins will be here tonight. !"
Madeline looked up, startled, red
spot on her cheek, excitement In her
eye.
.I got wire from them at the sta
tion," went on her father, easily.
"They will be here for dinner. Isn't
It time you went upstairs to dress?'

NlSlt0rs.
Marjorie thankfully ayailed herself
Of Miss Hyde's considerate offer, aud
retired to her room very early iE the
evening.
When she went downstairs next
morning she found Mr.. Hyde in the
breakfast room, his fine, fresh COM
plexion all glowing from his matutin-
al bath.
He greeted her with the utmost COZ.
diality and kindness.
To herself she said that IL only, the
daughter had the frank, pleasant man
ner of the father, her home might be
very happy one indeed.
In a moment or two Miss Hyde ap-
peared, dressed in an elegant morning
gown, and looking even more oeauti-
full than she had looked the night be-
fore.
Her manner, however, was restrain
ed, though perfectly well-bred and po-
lite.
Evidently she had no Intention of
getting on terms of freedom with her
young companion until she knew her
better.
Mr.. Hyde seemed to notice and be
yexed by his daughters coldness.
Indeed, once Marjorie saw him cast
glance of unmistakable reproof at
her.
After breakfast, the members of the
family were free to follow the days
occupations or diversions.
Mr.. Hyde rode out on setback,
first commencing Marjorie very kind
ly to the care of his daughter.
''You must remember she is among
strangers, Madeline, and try to keep
her from feeling lonely he said, as he
left them. And you,s my dear, must
make up your mind to regard us as
your friends"
A mist of grateful tears dimmed
Marjorie's eyes as, standing by the
window, she watched him ride away.
How kind he was, how generous,
how true gentleman.
Already she loved him as she might
have loved dear and honorable rela-
tive.
Oh, If only his daughter were more
like him! She turned to find Made
lines eyes fixed on her with that same
scrutinizing gaze she had seen in them
last night. r.A ----s-s~--~
This time slight shade o. melan-
choly crossed Miss Hyde's brow, as
though she saw something which gave
her pain.
She suggested they should sit by the
fire and do some needle - together.

Where n Bone Lived.

The late Professor Hyrtf Of Vienna
was present one day during the examina-
ton of an aspirant for the medical degree
by Professor LANCER. Finally the latter
handed the student small bone, saying:
"Mr. Candidate, here is bone. Don't
look at it, but tell me from feeling it what
kind of bone it is, whether it belonged
to the left or right side of the body and
whether it was part Of man or woman"
The poor student blushel from embar-
rassment. There was a large audience
present, and he saw failure staring him
in the face. He cast helpless glance at
Hyrtl, who moved about in his chair rest
lessly for a moment and then sprang to
his feet. "And tell me, Mr.. Candidate"
he cried out, the spirit of anger lighting
up his large blue eyes, latter answering
the questions of my dear colleague, the
name of the original possessor of this
bone and where and in what street he
lived"
This unexpected outburst saved the day
for the poor candidate, but Professor
LANCER ever after declined to conduct an
examination when Hyrtl was present
