John Wicks and Don Steele came
in from Dogskin yesterday. They
report the mines in that caiup as
looking first class with slthes Of
shipping ore in sight. The we'll be-
ing sunk at the camp encountered
water at depth OF 81 feet. 1t is o
good quality and quickly rose to a
height of five feet. This obviates
the necessity of hauling water nine
teen miles to the camp.-Reno
Journal.
An engine OF 5000 horse. power,
twice as big as any stationary engine
in existence, is now on its way to
New York. 1t is one of the eight
engines to be installed in one room.
They are to furnish electric current
for operating the entire elevated
railway system in New York, and
will displace the 225 locomotives
now in existence.
Nothing seems to bave been heard
of John f. Mcdonnell the leventing
secretary of the Virginia City Miners
Union. He was not seen in Reno
or Carson after he disappeared from
the Comstock, nor has he been re-
ported as being in San Francisco. 1t
is now Thought possible that Nc
Donnsll committed snicida.

HE HELD HIS HEAD HIGH.

y
Mr.. p. d. Armour for some advic
to young men starting in bushes
life. The subject was one that in
terested him, aud he dictated shor
article, which appeared in the fol
lowing issue of the paper. Anon,
other things, he warned young mel
against p-ssimism. "Don't 10 * OF
tue black side of life, he said"dot,'
require u reputation us a grumble
aud don't get an idea that you ar
unlucky. Don't 60 around moping
with your chin on your breast, bu
stinl straight, step brissly aud hol,
your head high"
This OF course was excellont ad
vice, and Mr. Armour was so pleased
with the article he hid number oI
copies mailed to his friends. A few
weeks Afterwards clergym IN with
whom he was on terms of intimacy
was visiting one of the city hospitals
and had his attention attracted to a
bright young fellow of Is or so who
had recently suffered amputation OF
one of his legs.
Chow did you meet with this mis-.
fortune my boyp" asked the preacher
kindly. at was all on account OF
Mr.. Armour" he exclaimed. Why,
whit in world do you meanp' II
mean" said the lad stoutly "that if
hadn't been for Mr.. Armour I'll be
having my two legs this very
minute" "But explain yourself, Z"
said the clegyman. "Tell me ex-
actly how it happened, and l may
be of some assistance to you" ""Well
sir it was like this, said the patient,
81 was out of job and sort of down
on my luck when / picks up paper
and sees piece by Mr.. Armour ad-
vising young men what they must
do when they are just starting out
in the world" Eyes, yes" said the
preacher, "I remember that ex-
cellent article distinctly. And whet
did you do nex;p" Well, continued
the hoy, che says in the piece that
fellow must rot go along 10 the
sulks, but ought to step lively and
hold his head high. I thought to
myself that's pretty good advice, 80
when l started down town stepped
out lively and held MY head high,
and the first thing knew l fell into
a coal hole and broke my leg"
The clergyman was sympathic
soul, but he had also keen sense OF
humor, and he leaned bact and
laughed until he was black in the
face. Knowing how proud Mr..
Armour was of the article, it struc
him as irresistibly comical that this
should be its first fruit. REST easy
my boy" lie said, when lie caught
his breath, "and Ill see what can
do for YOU" Next d,y lie called on
the miliona re and pulled long
face. "Brother Armour" he said
care YOU aware you have made II
cripple for life out of n unfortuna,e
young man of this cityP" "WhatP
gasped the rich lnln in amazement,
an the preacher proceed to tell the
story.
Mr.. Armour was by no means de-
fcient in humor himself, but WHEN
he heard the tale he hardly knew
whether to smile or sigh. "That's
pretty rough" he said at length
s'I'll have to look out for the boy
and see that he doesn't get into any
more trouble by following my ad-
vice." He was as good as his word,
and when the young fellow emerged
from the hospital he set him up in
business.

What to Read.

Read the good old books that have
lived and held their own by the vital
ity of matter and style that makes
them standards. Don't read n lot Of
new books. about the Bible. Read the
Bible, and then you will understand
what you may afterward read about
the Bible. Read Shakespeare, not con-
troversies on Shakespeare; read Scott
and ThacEoeray and Dickens and George
Eliot. Do not be content with short
history of literature that tells you their
best works and makes a few discon-
nected extracts and tells you their
standing and what you should think
of them.
Read int9ligently and with interest,
and every book you read will guide
you to the next that is good for you
personally far better than a strange
mentor can do. who is often full Of
theories and prejudices or perhaps has
got up n course of study as pot boil
err" and has no real love of his subject.

TEE sCHLEY COURT.

Admiral Dewey was, as the Spring
field Register comments, the right
man to have in command of a fleet
when there was Spanish fleet to be
destroyed. He is the right man to
have in charge of a court of inquiry.
He is a very acceptable character
wherever he is stationed. With
characteristic promptitude he is con-
Quoting the court of inquiry in q
systematic manner and is Just the
kind of presiding officer the court
should have. 1t is very unlikely
that Dewey will make any missteps
in the conduct of thescourt from this
time until the decision of the court is
reacked. The court has opened it's
sessions most auspiciously. The
decision of Friday in the case of the
testimony of Admiral Higginson is a
precedent which the court should
follow unswervingly. The efforts on
the part of some of the attorneys in
the case and perhaps of some of the
members of the court to make this
controversy long drawn, sickening
affair, must be swiftly circumvented.
This is wholly unnecessary. Facts
alone are accessible to truth. They
alone can establish guilt. They
alone can weave laurels for the
worthy.
What Admiral Higginson thinks
about the destruction OF the Christie
bal Colon or any other vessel or what
any other witness thinks or surmises
in the case, like the flowers that
bloom in the spring. has nothing to
do Nth tho oaao and ehOnld mot he
given the slightest consideration.
Facts will bring justice. Surmises
will pave the way to injustice. II
anything but direct testimony is
taken in this case the court will be
one of the most extravaganza luxuries
in the nations history and prove an

Horses, sunbonnets.

The wearing of sunbonnets by horses
in hot weather is by no means mod
ern invention. In an old italian print,
dated 1912, n gentleman is shown rid
ing on horseback with an umbrella fix
ed over his own head and another over
that Of his horse. In Mexico horses are
often protected by small parasol ris-
ing over the head, and horse similar
ly accommodated has lately been seen
in Regent street. Unfortunately this
headdress annoyed the conventional
"horse in the street." and it came very
near causing more than one disaster on
the way to Langham place.-London

NEW YORK AS A PRESIDENT PRO
DUCER

DUCEk.
The elevation of Theodore Roose-
Welt to the presidency places New
York in the same category with Vir-
ginia as . mother of presidents, with
this difference-thet of the five presi-
dents who were residents of Virginia
four Washington, Jefferson, Madison
and Monroe) attained the Office by
election, and only one (Tyler) by
succession. while of the i've New
York presidents only two (Van Buren,
and Cleveland) became chief magis-
trates by election, the other three
(Fillmore, in 1850; Arthur in 1881,
and Roosevelt in 1901, having become
presidents by succeeding executives
who died In office.
Many presidential candidates have
been furnished by the empire state,
but with little exception they were
defeated. Van Buren, was elected in
1886, Tilden in 1876, but cheated out
of the position. and Cleveland was
elected in 1884 and again in 1892.
Eight New Workers were vice presi-
dent. They were Aaron Burr, 1901 /;
George Clinton. 1905; Martin Van
Barren, 1928; Willard Fillmore, 1919:
William A. Wheeler, 1877; Chester A.
Arthur, 1881; Levi p. Morton, 1889,
and Theodore Roosevelt. 1901. The
above dates are not the dates of cleo
ton, but the dates when the officers
took their seats.
1t is an interesting fact, too, that
of the four vice presidents who pre-
ceded Roosevelt in their elevation to
the presidential chair, the two from
New York-Fillmore and Arthur
filled the office with the highest de-
gree of popular acceptance. Both
Tyler and johnson broke with the
party which elected them to the vice
presidency. and went oat of Office

tegration, but he retained the respect
