The burning down of the dormitory
and cooking and eating department of
the Orphans Home at Carson on the
morning of July is not considered in
Carson as calamity. The building
cost a great deal more than it was
worth. 1t was flimsy fire-trap, and
caught fire a few times before, and it
was fortunate that the fire occurred
this time when all the little ones were
up and out. 1t was built in 1870,
when there was no trouble in getting
an appropriation, and the builders
could not have lost much on it. 1t is
to be hoped that a substantial and safe
building will be erected in its place,
and that sensible precautions will be
taken to insure its safety. There is
some little timidity expressed in Car
son lest Reno will make drive to
s'steap' the Home from Carson. If they
do, have no doubt that the sub
stantial citizens who failed to decorate
their handsome buildings in Reno on
the glorious Fourth, will step forward
and offer proper inducements for the
change. There would be something
in that.

EDITOR COURIER: With reference to
my item about offended subscribers to
newspapers stopping to pay for their
newspapers now instead of stopping
their subscription as they did 35 years
ago, the Reno journal reminds me that
when | was boss of the local route of
the Eureka Sentinel that delinquents
were not scarce. When I come to
think of it, l must admit the truth of
the charge of the Journal man; but it
seems to me that the newspaper men
did not go into Mysteries so violently
as they do now over delinquents.

The war in the Philippines has been
declared over once more, and we are
assured that peace reigns again. If
this be true, we may expect to see the
scene of conflict transferred to Wash

skirmishes around every stump from
now to November, and not few hot
air sallies in the newspapers. Icannot
believe that the war is over.

The State of Mississippi has passed a
law forbidding the use of any history
in the public schools of that State which
does not give Schley the credit of sink
ing Cervera's fleet at Santiago de Cuba.
This course is deplorable; it invites
similar action in other States in behalf
of Sampson, until we have two kinds
of histories in the United States, and
endless disputes and strife. Histories
written during or Immediately after
great conflicts are invariably worthless,
and they die of their own rottenness in
few years. We have no partisan his
tories left of wars that occurred before
any one now living was born, except
wars in which the church took part
They are kept up for their own peculiar
reasons. This fact brings to mind the
criticism of Macaulay on historians, in
which he advised them to state the
facts, and avoid comment. | have
hopes that historian will arise grand
enough to simply write what occurred
at Santiago, and leave the reader to
decide who was in command on that
memorable day, and who is entitled to
the credit. Schley's friends ought to
be satisfied with that.

We are informed by the dispatches
that Congress adjourned in delirium
of delight. If the members feel any
better than the rest of the country
over it, they certainly cannot feel any
safer. The appropriations will beat a
billion dollars. OF course, we will be
assured that this is a billion-dollar
country. However, if man earns S.,
and spends So, he remains S. man as
long as he can earn it only, and in
course of time he finds himself going a
champagne gait on lager beer income.

coRoNER's ANNUAL REPORT.
Eight Hundred and sixty-Five Inves-
LEGATIONS the Past Year.

The annual report of DR.. ]. Ramsey New
lit, coroner Of the District has been sub
mitted to the Commissioners, together with
estimates for the fiscal year 1904. The
coroner says there were S65 deaths for in
vestigation by himself and his assistant.
The number of suicides was 80, the pistol
being used In 8 cases, carbolic acid in g
cases, illuminating gas in g. arsenic, strych-
nine and opium in 1 case each. Two of
those who committed suicide jumped into
the river, 2 cut their throats, hanged
themselves and one threw himself in front
of fast-moving train. There were 10 homi-
cides and 1 legal hanging There were 81
1nquests and 1So bodies rested in the morgue.
in his estimates. Coroner hewitt asks for
a total of s6.540. which includes among
other new items provision for an assistant
morgue keeper, a stenographer or clerk and
an increased number of autopsies is made.
DR.. hewitt says a stenographer is badly
needed to take notes at inQueStS, and calls
attention to the fact that the new moTgue
has been appropriated for. hence the re-
quest for assistant morgue keeper. The
coroner concludes follows:
The new code recently adopted for the
District increases the fees for jurors and
provides for the payment of witnesses Ohe
latter being a new feature), thus rendering
the appropriation for the balance of the
year ending June 30, 1903, entirely insult
ffcient. Consequently, l urgently request
that this subject be brought to the atten-
tion of Congress a the earliest opportun
ity. Stringent regulations as to the sale
of carbolic acid should be made and en-
forced, this being evidenced by the increas-
Ing number of suicides from this drug"
