A Splendid Charity.

Perhaps the largest amount of
money ever given by one person for
a specific charitable purpose is that
with which John NJ. Burke, retired
merchant of New York, has founded
the Winifred Masterson Burke relief

hands of four trustees-ex-M Mayor
Hewitt, Edward NJ. Shepard. Frank
X. Sturgis and William Hubbard
White-the sum of $4,OOO,O0O, which
is to be used by them for ''the relief
of worthy men and women who, not
withstanding their willingness to
support themselves. have become
partly or wholly unable to do SO by
reason of sickness or misfortune, or
who have been discharged from hos
pitfalls before regaining sufficient

Mario's foible was smoking. As
smoking was forbidden at the theatre
he would never sign contract until
the clause which made him an ex-
ception to the rule was inserted. He
would have his valet waiting in the
wings with match and a cigar, and
would rush off the stage, take few
whiffs, and then return to tender
love scene. The cigars that he
smoked cost him half crown, and
he never more than partially smoked
one. Even the boys in the street in
London knew him and when they fol-
lowed his carriage cheering. he
would have a handful of coins ready
to toss to them.

Senator Perkins of California has

So the other day, when he was among
his friends on the committee who

give San Francisco S1,5OO,OOe for a
new custom house. he looked a trifie
dubious even when one consented

man constituent of his who went to
all the directors of q certain bank
separately and asked for large loan
from the institution. Each man APP
preached answered that he should be
overjOyed, etc. At the next meeting
of the board, sitting as a loan com
mittee, a vote was taken, and the
loan project was bowled down with
hardly an affirmative. When the
news was communicated tO,the would
be borrower, he asked permission to
enter the room and make very
brief speech. 1t was accorded, and
this was all he said:

DEFENDS A NAME.
What T. F. Moran Has to Say About the
Eastern Writers in the WinsIow,

The State of Nevada is continually
on the defensive refuting the assertions

sunably travelling representatives Of
some Eastern paper, and who are paid
nv The number Of words they con-
tribute,
While some of the matter published
for the information of those who may
desire to come west and build up
homes. is true in a few particulars,
still the greater portion Of their state
nents is misleading and positively I'M
rue. Untrue because these writer's
never see the better portion of the
State and never gain a sufficient
knowledge of her resources to give a
correct statement Of facts in regard to
aer possibilities.
Through this lack of correct data on
which to oase their communications,
the State suffers greatly and is gradu-
ally decreasing in population.
Nevada is handicapped in more
ways than one:

End. She is represented by two
senator's who pretend TO maintain a
home in the State for political pur-
poses, but who really reside in Cal
ifornia.
Therefore, SO far as representation
at the national capital is concerned,
he unfortunate State is used politically
to build up California, or look after the
interests Of some corporation.
So, here we have the thing in a
nutshell. The State has never been
represented in the upper house Of
Congress by a bona fide resident. Still
Nevada has a voice, at the first glance.
in the lower and upper houses Of Con
gress, while Arizona, a territory with a
much greater population. a larger
assessment roll, richer in minerals,
more stock and a citizenship that will
compare f~avorably with the most en-
lightened Of the older states, for intelli-
gence and morality. has no voice in
national affairs.
We admit that Nevada has been
handicapped in her senators, we also
know that Arizona has suffered TO a
greater extent by having no senators
at all.
Arizona and New Mexico have
asked for admittance time and again,
out in vain. The population would not
decrease as has that Of Nevada, but
would more than double inside of five
years. T. F. MORAN.
