The coIumbia-.The Princess Chic"


Marguerite sylvia is to make her first
appearance here as star at the Column
bia Theatre tomorrow night. and through
out the week. in Kirke La Shelle's opera
cotnique. The Princess Chic" Miss
Sylvia. who is very pretty young woman
OF French type of beauty, a native Of
Brussels, has been making a veritable
triumphant tour of the country in this,
her first season as comic opera star.
There were many who had faith In Miss
Sylvia as a candidate for stellar honors,
but il remained for Kirke La Shelle tc
organize the Marguerite sylvia opera com
pany, as the twin attraction OF his other
operate success. the Frank Daniels opera
company. 1t is said that Mr.. La Shelle
has been rewarded in his choice far be-
yond his expectations. The title role of
The Princess Chic is reputed to be emf
nently fitted to Miss Sylvas attractive
personality. The costume of the male en-
Voy. in which she appears, is said to be
particularly fetching, and shows her ar
rayed in crimson tights, top boots, tight
fitting bodice, and cloak Another cos
tune Is that of a peasant girl. IN Which
Miss sylvia is enabled to show her talents
as an actress. She finally appears as the
Princess Chic herself, arrayed in gorgeous
robe of gold and sable. The cause of
these DISCUSSES arises from the desire of
the Princess Chic to visit, incognito,
Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy,
whom she has never seen, to ascertain if
he is sensible Of her charms, and also to
give him friendly warning of a plot which
she has learned, that Louis N has con-
cocted for the purpose of despoiling
Charles of his duchy. Thus IL is seen
that historic lore plays a dignified part in
the unfolding of the story. The character
of the Princess Chic is mythical and gives
an air of romance to the tale. The feudal
splendor of the period gives fertile oppor-
tunity 10 the scene painter and costumer

THE CARSON CARNIVAL.
A Belated Description Of what
Occurred There.

- oCh8bOa1 DCBCkMHDtAOu VI "u0t
Occurred There.
The following account of the Carni-
val which took place at Carson, taken
from the Appeal Of that city, clearly
indicates that what is termed the
real thing was presented there on
that occasion minus all embellish-
ments. The wonder is, how Carson
mustered up energy enough to make
the display it did. Here is q descrip-
ton Of what took place:
The gambling places and the sure
thing games and the fakirs and the
spielers and the g~rafters and the pro-
motors we're in the general mix-up.
Everything went" as the boys
say, and for the first time in many
years Sheriff Kinney's face wore
an anxious look, as if he thought the
town was getting away from him.
The special police did not know wheth-
er they were afoot or on horseback.
The liquor flowed in fuller volume and
the whirl got gayer and things were
simply humming all along the line.
Everyone who got into the frolic was
on q level with all the rest and all
social distinctions were wiped out.
There was never anything like it in
the history of the State. Nobody
could describe it and do it justice.
The muscle dancing was about the
toughest and lowest exhibition that
has ever hit Carson. The Appeal be-
lieves with everybody else that four
days of such shameless performance
is more demoralizing than a prize fight
would be If it came off every week or
q lottery with a fifty year franchise.
1t was simply a degrading affair
with no redeeming feature OF clever
ness.
When the night closed down on the
town and the inhabitants put on
masks, the crowds that packed
the Little Egypt show showed that
female curiosity was q great thing and
aver with us.
Some women who wouldn't care to
bave a word said about it and will in
dignantly deny it, were there watching
the posturings of the Oriental dancer
and their eyes sparkling behind their
masks, "but for goodness sake don't
say | told you"
When the Appeal went to press the
gsyety was screwed up to concert pitch
and everybody was "still q whoopin'
'er."

Ely, Cherry Greek, Hamilton, and

county, are to be favored with q visit
shortly from G. d. Van Duzer, Speaker
Of the late Nevada Assembly, who is
making tour Of the counties in the
eastern part Of the State, ostensibly
for the purpose of gathering data for

entitled, "The Political Resources OF

Adjacent Thereto" Mr.. Van Duzer

zine, Q periodical which succeeded in
making its appearance four times in

Reno Journal.
There is quite Q commotion at Car
o over the disappearance from the
Attorney Generals Office of the evil
dence for the defense in the Crowley
murder case, which was tried at Vir-
ginia City some eight or nine years
ago. The application for Crowley's
pardon has been several times consid-
cred by the Board, and it is positively
stated that the missing papers were in
their proper place in the State Attor-
ney's Office about q year ago. The
Virginia Report is inclined to charge
the blame upon w. D.. Jones. late At
torney-G General, who was succeeded by
William Woodburn, upon the formers
appointment to a District ~Judgeship
by Governor Sadler. The Carson Ap-
peal disagrees with the Report and
says suspicion points to q man it was
alleged was seer "monkeying" with
the papers in the Capitol building.
The Journal agrees with the Appeal in
exonerating Judge Jones, who, it be-
%lieves. is incapable of a criminal action
of that or any other kind. Besides. as
the Appeal says, the abstraction could
not benefit either side, as the papers
could be easily duplicated from the
Court Reporters notes taken at the
trial, a fact evidently unknown to the
person who committed the theft. The
matter should be promptly investi.
gated, not because of the importance
of the papers, but upon general princi-
pies of justice, which demand the
punishment of the culprit, and also
that the Board of Pardons may know
in whose supposed interest the docu.
ments we're taken. In other words,
whether it was done to deprive the de-
tense Of its evidence or to throw sus-
picion on the prosecution.

Carson Appeal.
Some Of the State exchanges are
still using some rather severe language
relative to the Pullman assessment.
The Pullman Company has been gen.
orally regarded as q tax dodger in Ne
vada for years. At the Assessors meet
ing in April it was the general opin-
ion that the only way was to assess
arbitrarily, and after q refusal to set
tie, advertise the property as delin-
quent, and then side track and sell it.
1t t~ranspires, however, that the attor-
neys authorized by the State to inves.
tigate the matter have ascertsined
that the Pullman Company, being q
partner of the Southern Pacific, has
been taxed along with the Southern
Pacific Company, and the taxes paid
to the State. The Pullman Company
paid these taxes to the Southern Pa
cifc Company, and the latter paid
them 10 the several counties through
which the line runs. The misunder-
standing arose from the fact that in
the reports to the Assessors the word
Pullman does not appear, the prop
erty being scheduled as "irst and sec
ond-class sleepers." The Appeal be-
lieves that this explanation is due
to both companies Is . matter of
simple justice. The Pullman Com
pany no longer has any interest joined
with the Southern Pacific Company,
and is making its statement to the
