/ The third time that the requirement
of Cuba seemed imminent was in rs, to
avenge the murder of the sixty passen-
gers of the ship 'Virginius." The day
{ of reckoning was nearer to Spain than
she realized, and it needed only the sec
ond tragedy of the Maine" to complete
her undoing.
/ Not a great way from Cardenas, in
the hamlet of Guadalupe, occurred one
of the saddest tragedies of the recent
war, The village was crowded with
starving reconcentrados, of whom more
than three thousand had died in the
streets within three months. A wealthy
English lady then in Cardenas an
swering the appeal of the priest, accom-
panied by her beautiful young daugh-
ter just out Of school, went to Guada-
lupe with seven oX-loads of provisions,
clothing and medicines which she mad
bought with her own funds for the
starving. The two women, with their
servants, personally superintendent the
distribution, which occupied two days.
and they promised to return at once to
Cardenas and bring another supply
On the night before the good Samari-
tans We're to leave the Spanish officers
gave them a banquet. The house was
draped with flags and Illuminated in the
ladies' honor, and that decoration
proved their undoing The lights at
tracted the attention Of insurgents on
the hill-tops, and with the first couesr
of the dinner came fusilade of mus
kerry, in which both mother and daugh-
ter and several Spanish officers were
killed. Whether the patriots knew
that their benefactors, who had come
to save their wives and little ones from
perishing Of hunger, were inside, none
can say. AT any rate the Cuban troop
that did the bloody deed was captured
the next day and shot on the spot.

A MANS STATE.
California NAY Yet BE Blessed -
One of Eersh's Male
Lands.

California is emphstically one of
"earth's male lands" to accept Brown
ing's classification. The first Saxon
settlers were men, and in their rude civ
ilization women had no part. For years
women in California were objects of
curiosity or of chivalry, disturbing
rather than cementing influences in
society. Even yet California is essen
TALLY mans state. 1t is common to
say that public opinion does not ex-
ist there; but such statement is not
wholly correct. 1t does exist, but il is
an out-of-door opinions mans view
of men. There is, for example, a
strong opinion about hypocrisy in Cal
ifornia, as more than one clerical rene
gade has found to his discontinue,
The pretense to virtue is the one vice
that is not forgiven. If man be not
liar, few questions are asked, least of
all the delicate one as to the "name he
went by in the states" What we COM
monty call public opinion-the cut-and-
dried decision on social and civic ques-
tions-is made up in the house. 1t is
essentially feminine in it's origin, the
opinion Of householders as to how men
should behave. In California there is
little which corresponds to the social
atmosphere pervGding the snug, white
| painted, green-blinded New England
villages, and this little exists chiefly in
communities of people transported
thither in block-traditions, conven-
tionalities, prejudices and all. There
is, in general, no merit attached to con-
formity, and one may take wide range
! of rope without necessarily arousing
distrust. Speaking broadly, in CALI
fornia the virtues of life spring from
within, and are not prescribed from
without. The young man who is de-
cent only because he thinks that some
one is looking would do well TO stay
away The stern law Of individual re-
sponsibility turns the fool over to the
fool-killer without preliminary trial.
No finer type of man can be found in
the world than the sober Californian;
and yet no coast is strewr with wrecks
more pitiful.-DaXid- Starr Jordan, In
Atlantic.

A Curfew Club.

The Elko Indedendent says that: /:
The married ladies of Elko are con-
sidering the advisibility of forming a
curfew club to get their husbands
home at 7:30 every evening. The
plan that meets with the most favor
is to have one of their number ring
the curfew at 7:15 every evening an d
if their husbands are not promptly
seated ut home with their boots off
by 1880, the members of the club are
to be Immediately notified of the de-
liuquents and the club, armed with
rolling-pins, potato-mashers, fiat
irons or any old thing within their
reach, is to march down town on a
hunting EXPEDITION. The delin-
quents if caught, are be battered
all out of shape and taken home for
repairs. 1t is thought by those hav-
ing the matter in charge that one
dose of this T. eatment will cure the
most stubborn case. As many of the
married ladies' are at the train every
evening, the Independent is rather
doubtful of the success of the plan
There is one sure thing about it,
however, aud that is, if the club is
formed, the Independent man will
get home promptly on time every
evening.

A MODLE STOCK FARM.
cLEvELAND'S PLACE is AN OASIS
lNTHE DESERT.

Beyond question A. c. Cleveland's
stoca tarm in Spring Valley, Eastern
Nevada is the best kept of any like
ranch in the great West. The 1000
acres are fenced and the greatest
part of the farm is a grassy plat,
Kentucky blue grass. Not a weed
grows on the land Fruit and shade
trees abound and small tract of a
couple of hundred acres is set apart
for growing grain, vegetables and
berries
Every animal on this ranch is a
fine specimen of blooded stock. The
only exception is one cross of cattle,
Shorthorn with Holstein's, making
the ideal dairy COW The offsprings
lose none of the excellent milking
qualities, but gain in beef points.
No prettier specimens of Durham
cows and calves can be found any
where. Common stock has been bred
up to look like pure bloods. In this
class yearling steers are as large as
2-year .olds and 2-year-olds look a
year or more older than the ordinary
"critter" of that age
In other lines, too, Mr.. Cleveland
has worked wonders. His horses
are up to standard, and the hogs,
chickens, ducks and turkeys on the
farm would be first prize winners al
the worlds fair. As much as 1,50O
tons of hay of the first quality are
cut annually from the broad mead
ows. The latest and best machin.
cry is used around the farm and to
care for the miles of irrigating ditch.
