Lake Ariel loaned for the purpose by Mr..
Charles Schlager. 1t is to be occupied
during the months of June, July, Au-
gust and September. Miss Doersam and
Miss Mckle will take entire charge and
will themselves attend to the household
duties. There are rooms FOR ten guests
and these win be taken at the modest
rate of three dollars n week. They Will
be expected to take care of their own
rooms but Will be provided excellent
board and more privileges than are usu-
ally found at summer resorts at more
than double the cost. Already the month
of August is filled with applicants. The
present difficulty is the furnishings Of
the cottage. The chief stock on hand
seems to be in the shape of soup plates
of various designs and decorations.
Other things are needed and anything IN
the way of bedroom furniture is spe-
cially desired. Kind friends who will dis

4 MANS description of his costume
n when he Is masquerading as a wo-
man Is unique. Secretary Atherton
confided to his friends last week that he
should wear q gasoline challe gown"
at the cake walk with many beautiful
skirts and a bias around the train. OF
course he meant silko,ine and in his mind
ruffles and founces were confounded with
bias pieces. If Il man undertakes to tell
about a woman's frCck he is sure to use
the term 'bias" as he seems to labor
under the hallucination that this word
means almost everything intricate and
stylish. Those who saw Mr.. Atherton' $
make up Saturday night will not be sur
prsed to learn that it was slightly be-

recently been performed in London in
the establishment at Manchester of a

the latter paper, item by item, together

limited number of tickets issued, from
the pleasure Of witnessing the very in-
teresting enterti.inwoEt given at the
Scranton Bicycle ciub hause Saturday
evening for the benefit Of me Home for
the Friend,Css, | naturally take inter-
est in institutions of this excellent char
acter, and knowing somewhat the senti-
ment of the people relative to the novelty
of the programme rendered, respectfully
suggest that the managers of the Home
for the Friendless give an opportunity
to the general public to witness this
magnificent entertainment at popular
prices on the Lyceum stage at as early
a date as arrangements can be made,
thereby adding many dollars to this
worthy charity. Respectfully yours,

with a drama. "Human Hearts"
which is to be presented at the Opera

drama and of the refined kind. 1t has
proven big attraction in nearly every
city, and Carson is in luck to be in
Guided in the cities that are to be Wis

Many a hearty laugh rings through
the house when "Human Hearts IS

shed. The drama is replete with in

on the water question, resulted in big
majority against the proportion Of

works owned by the Carson Water
Company Although the election had
no legal standing, it has settled the
question of municipal water for some

Considering that the vote was for a

people. it drew out quite q vote, lis
votes being cast, 143 voted "No'

Ten women took part in the election
voting as they thought fit. The result
leaves no doubt as to the desire Of the
taxpayers. They are evidently satisfied
with the service they are receiving. II

Murder Committed.

Last week the APPEAL published
the report of the death of VIM. Moore,
an old man in Carson Valley, who was
burned to death.
The Gard nerville Record of last
evening claims that the old man was
murdered, and that the arrest of the
murderer will follow. A party was
organized to make search for the re-
mains. In this connection the Record
says:
On the return of the searching party
last evening bundle of bone found in
| the ruins were brought in, and sub
mitted to DR.. Gerdes, who pronounced
them human bones. Pieces Of skull
were easily dissinguishable, and the
bones Of the hesd near the ear. DR.,
Gerdes also found imbedded in one
piece Of skull bone three small shot

Moore is gone, and was ne doubt used
to reduce the body to cinders. Small
cans were found in the ruins unmelted
while the large amount Of einder
found where the bones lay, showed
that there was much more fire ther,
than in other portions of the ruins.
VIM. Dressler, who has been intima
tely associated in business way will
Moore, has taken the horses and cattl'
to his ranch to feed.
Justice of the Peace l.. S. Eel, act

day, and an inquest will he held at Il
o'clock. 1t is thought that suiticien

charge Of murder at the door of tn
man who committed the crime i
which case his arrest will be an cas-
matter.
