HAPPY THOUGHT.
Actor Saved the Climax by His Pres
ence Of Mind.

Mr.. Frank f. Morse, the genial
and clever avannt courier of the sue.
cessful Western comedvdrama,
jess" of the Bar Z Ranch which
comes TO Swisher's Theatre to night,
has mighty fund Of anecdotes and
witty stories, the accumulation of a
number OF years of travel ION the
road. One of these which is es
pecially unique illustrates the mis-
haps OF sure fire pistol which
would not fire at the proper and de
cisive moment, and the nimble and
ingenious manner In which the vii.
liam saved thrilling scene.
In the last act OF Jess" of the
Bar q Ranch the william is tied to a
tree, supposedly oil the stage. 1t
occurs towards the end OF the play
and at a moment when the OF hers OF
the principals have the second vii.
lain, Mexican greaser, secured
with rope. At the back OF the
stage vast chasm Is shown with a
projecting cliff To this cliff the
first william escapes and standing
there proclaims his hatred to all be-
low and particularly the greaser, his
former partner IN crime. Exasper-
ated beyond endurance, the greaser
selzes pistol and fires, killing the
man on. the elf, whose body falls
into the depths below. Some weeks
ago, in Philadelphia the scene had
progressed to the critical moment of
the pistol shot aforesaid.
The gun failed To work and all
that could be heard was the "clickn
of the hammer. The william on the
cliff recognized the dramatic element
of the scene and also that he must
die to end the play. At the second
click of the hammer he arose to hls
full height, clasped his hand over
his heart aud exclaimed, Great
heavens I've been shot by an air
gum and fell into the gulf below.
Moral: Presence OF mind is good
thing even In play or on a preci
piee. But people with more sense
will secure their tickets early and
avoid the jam at night.

MEMORIAL FROM fILIpINOS.
Transmitted to Senate by Secretary
of War--In Support of Amer
lean Rule.

Washington, Feb. 13.--With the
exception of a sharp CLASH between
Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Patterson over
the matter Of admission of represent
atives Of the press to the inyestiga-
ton which the Philippines COMMITTEES
is conducting, the discussion of the
Philippine tariff bill in the senate
yesterday was quiet. The Colorado
senator desired that all newspaper
men be admitted to the COMMITTEES
hearings, declaring that as now CON
Quoted they were of a star chamber
character. He said his recollection
was that Mr.. Lodge had suggested
that the hearings be entirely secret.
This drew the fire of the Massach,,-
Betts senator. who Indignantly denied
that he had suggested anything of
the kind He insisted that the re-
ports made of the hearings by the
three press associations were ac-
curate and fair to both sides or the
controversy.

WILL START MONDAY.
Pnbiic Schools will Reopen at that
Time without Further Action from
School Board.

The Public Schools will resume
on next Monday. This is the state
ment made by one of the members
OF the board to the New DOMINION
to day. He said that the order
which closed the schools stated that
they should close for two weeks. 1t
is not necessary to take any further
action as the schools will open in
consequence of this order.
1t is not thought that there is
any further danger from infection
from scarlet fever as there are no new
cases being reported and it is
thought that the worst is over. The
plan of closing the schools probably
prevent a bad outbreak of this dread
disease Certain it is that the board
did the proper thing.
The matter of pay for teachers
during the enforced vacation is be
ing discussed by members of the
board and some Of them at least are
IN favor of letting the pay go on as
1t was from no fault of the teachers
tina. they did not get to work during
the time.

Gave a Most Successful Concert.

The second Of the star course of at.
trac lions by the Young Mems Christian
Association was the recital of the
Bostonia Sextette Club last night.
Mr.. Stats has been identified with
prominent musical organizations fol-
years, and is as widely and favorably
known as anyone In the musical world.
1t is needless to say that sextette OF
which he is at once member and di-
rector is capable of giving recital
that is beyond criticism, either from
a professional or from lay point OF
view.
The opening selection, "ran 5alus-
qualen, " played by the entire sextette
was received by the audience with the
warmth which its faultlessness OF in
depreciation and execution merited and
was an suspicious beginning in thor
oughly enjoyable musical evening.
Mr.. Stats clarinet solo and Mr..
LIQUIDS violin solo, "Fantasie CAPRICE
elected perhaps more enthusiastic ap-
plause than any selections on the pro-

in the matter Of high appreciation
from the audience OF everything, from

which the evening was concluded.

Providence

The 8 o'clock report of the boys
condition was the most important one
of the day Mr. Corteiyou said. in ad.

ed, that the left lung had cleared
considerably during the day, that the
boys temperature, respiration and
pulse had shown but little variation.
Everything during the day had gone
on well. The clearing up of the left
lung was favorable sign, in that it
would enable the boy to meet the
crisis in the right lung better. What
is known as resolution had set In In

Major Burns was asked by this
paper If the people who were p ulling
for Oakland felt badly over the de-
cision reached by the Board which
has failed to recommend the Mary.
land site. He stated that the effort
would not be abandoned for some
time yet.
''The site selected in Pennsylvania
is inaccessible. 1t. is off the main
line of the railroads and cannot be
reached as rapidly as the one at
Oakland which is on the main line
of the B. d O. and can be reached
for the number of states tributary to
the camp in very short time.
Another thing that will help
Oakland is the difference in price OF
the land. That at Oakland can be
bought for twenty five dollars an
acre. The other land in Pennsyl-
vania will cost 5000 an acre or eight
times as much"
ne advantages Jhat Oakland
have are so many andobvious that
Congress isn't going to spend eight
times as much money as necessary
to get what is wanted"
1t is understood that the Secre-
tary of War to whom the recommen-
dations of the board have been made
will submit them to Congress with
out any recommendation. This will
give us good chance to get the
thing fully investigated by the com
mittee which will receive it for a re-
port to Congress and we will place
the facts before them in such a
light that there isn't any way out of
selecting Oakland"

The Carson News report of the
late convention at Reno contains the
following;
There was much oratory in the
Democratic convention. Van Duzer's
name was placed before the conven-
ton by Clay Peters of Nye. Mr..
Peters declared that he hadn't been
in the state very long and that he
hadn I known Mr.. Van Duzer for a
great length of time, but during his
acquaintance with him he had come
to have confidence in the man whom
he proposed to place before the con
vention for the nomination of con
gresham. Mr. Peters also stated
that he didn't know positively
whether or not Mr.. Van Duzer was a
resident of Nye county, but he knew
that he had been in and out of there
u great deal of late, and at least
claimed the county as his residence.
After commenting upon Van Duzer
ability as legislator and journalist
and statesman, he took his seat
amid great applause. Four or five
other delegates seconded the nom
nation Of Mr.. Van Duzer in flowery
speeches and with much praise. His
nomination was made by reclamation,
and after telling the convention how
much more he proposed doing for the
state of Nevada than any other con
gresham who preceded him, he
pulled bag Of silver dollars out Of
his pocket and dramatically paid his
fee to the secretary of the convention.
Mr.. Pike of Washoe then placed
John Sparks in nomination for gov
ernor, Mr., Pike spoke for about
three-quarters of an hour, and said
many kind and fiattering things
about the Washoe county cattleman.
Four or five other delegates seconded
Sparks nomination, and recess
was taken in order that a committee
of three might rustic up the Demo
cratic candidate for governor and
escort him TO the convention. Mr..
Sparks was soon found and took the
platform amid cheers and applause.
He thanked the convention in a few
words TOR having nominated him, and
declared that he wasn't a gold-bug
Democrat, bad never voted for Me
kinley or Republican president in
his life and never intended to, He
did not tell the convention that he
failed to vote for Bryan and free
silver two and six years ago, and
that he was employing men at scab
wages in his mine near Reno, which
is producing $500 ore, but that was
all right. The convention was sat
i,Iied with Sparks for governor be-
cause Newlands knew that he had
plenty of money to help him out in
the campaign and they didn't care
what platform he endorsed or what
his principles were.

MIR. HEPBURN BEGINS THE DEBATE.
Declares Offer of Panama Canal Conn
pany, Recently Made, to BE Part
OF Plan for Delay-The Day
In the Senate,

Washington. Jan. s.-The debate ON
the Nicaragua canal bill in the house
was opened in lively fashion Tuesday
BY Mr.. Hepburn, chairman of the
interstate and foreign commerce
commission, which reported the bill.
For two hours he held the floor, re-
plying to volley of questions con-
corning the recent offer of the Pan
anna Canal company to sell its prop
erty and franchises to the United
States for $4o,ooo,ooo The interest
In the debate centered almost entire
ly in this new phase of the subject.
Mr.. Hepburn maintained that the al
legged new offer of the Panama COM
pany was part of the plan of delay.
All his utterances along that line
were literally applauded. He point
ed out what he claimed was the sus-
picious circumstance that the PAN
anna company held out for 100000
600 until 1t was decided before the
holiday recess to consider the Mica
ragua bill, and then suddenly
dropped the price to $40.00o.OOo. Mr..
