 doings," they have been amazed at
 the vastness of corruption that has assembly and officials of our city" Ut seems to have been the highest alm of
 some officials to rob the city wherever opportunity offered" While there may have been corruption in other cities as great as we have had here
 yet in no place in the world and in no time known to history has so much of ficial corruption been uncovered, and the evidence shown so that all could see and understand. These revelations have been so appalling as to be almost beyond belief, and it will be years be- fore the extent of the discoveries is fully realized As an illustration of what has been done the grand jury says: "A franchise was procured from the municipal assembly by bribery so scandalous as to be without a parallel. One hundred and forty-five thousand dollars was placed in escrow in finan- cial institution of this city to be paid to the members of the municipal as- sembly upon the granting of the fran chise. The ordinance giving this failed, and a second ordinance was passed un- der promise of $25O,OO0 to the members of the assembly, which was afterward distributed among the combine mem- bers." Concerning the supply depart ments of the city the grand jury found that they were conducted according to the most wasteful and extravagant methods: Large quantities of supplies of various kinds are not only ordered without bids being taken, but without even the formality of asking for a price. In some departments certain houses are designated by chiefs of de- partments to which orders are to be sent while in other departments thou sands of dollars worth of open orders are placed with small or comparatively unknown houses, or with those known to be fictitious and having no legal ex- istence. The heads of departments may not be benefited by these methods, al though it is impossible for the jury to

PAT EGAN,s PARNELIl STORY.

Patrick Egan, ex-minister to Chile
 who was in the city last week, tells the following story illustrative of the lack ized the late Charles Stewart Parnell: "Parnell, though the greatest leader of the Irish race, was in many respects much like an Engllshman," said MT. Egan. Tt took him long time to see a joke. I remember well the old Land League was first organized in the Im- perial hotel in Dublin Andrew J. Ket- tie, well known Irishman, presided.

CITY's INFLUENCE ON THE EYE.

One Reason for the Multiplication ot | Parks and Avenues.
 | Speaking of the practice of wearine 1 glasses" said a well-known optician ir l Canal street 'there is a curious thing | about the human eye that the average person is constantly overlooking. We
 talk a great deal about the influence oi i color, about glare and all that sort oi | thing. unquestionably color has a | great deal to do with the weakness ot the human eye at this time. Glare fig
 ures as an important factor in the i'm | pairment of the human sight. In the matter of color there is so much riotine | in these latter days that the eye is kept | in an almost constant strain. Red is violently red, green violently green and so on, until the eye is simply trained beyond the normal in an effort
 to visualize the hue, and hence the op- tic nerves are, in a measure, strained and injured, But this Is not the great est danger when we come to think of modern tendencies so far as the human
 eye is concerned. There are other con-
 ditions which are infinitely more inju-
 rious than the matter of color. The
 glare is bad enough, too. The electric
 and incandescent lights are simply
 fearful on one's eyesight,
 But the thing I quarrel with, more
 than with any other influence, is the condition which limits the scope of ones vision. The eye should have a
 broad range. One should have the op- portunity of seeing long distance. We are denied this opportunity We are hemmed and hedged in until the distance we are capable of seeing is very short indeed. This is why l am a strong advocate of parks of prome- nades. Green is noturally a restful col- or and if the city could be provided with long avenues and splendid parks, where ones eyes could stretch out in a long vista it would be a great thing When we come to think of the think se- riously, the benefit to the human eye alone would amply justify the city in building roadways and parks and things of that sort to rest the human eye
 'The human eye needs rest. It may hurt my business, the business of the optican, but it is a good thing. High buildings and loud colors and the glare of many lights are conditions which simply force a majority of mankind to resort to artificial means of seeing, and these conditions are rapidly producing race of spectacle wearers. The cor ditions are bad. They should be cor rected. Or at least the bad influences should be minimized so that the injury would not be so great as it is. The eye should be given sufficient scope. It should be given that range which would cultivate the finer qualities of this, the finest and most perfect of all human organs. That's why I'm in favor of parks and roadways and all that sort of thing.'-NeW Orleans Times-Demo- crat.

After the business had been transacted l rose and moved that MT. Kettle leave the chair. Now, MT. Chairman, said. I move vote of thanks to MT. Kettle for the admirable manner in which he directed this meeting. Par nell put the motion, and in doing so, said:? Gentlemen, I need not say, in putting this motion, that the name of Kettle has been household word in Ireland for many years The burst of laughter which greeted Parnells break stopped him.

 And so forth and so on. It is de- clared that for years no bill of conse- quence has passed the municipal as- sembly unless money has been paid to secure favorable action.

The passage crediting Roosevelt with having led the assault at the battle of San Juan hill has been struck out from the" "~school histories used in the Dis trict of Columbia. The report by the school board says: "While there is no doubt of Colonel Roosevelt's reckless courage before Santiago, it would be difficult to write more erroneous par agraph, as every one knows who has studied the details of the battle of San Juan."

Four countries, according to an ar ticle in the Churchman, are doing nine tenths of the missionary work of the world-Great Britain, Germany, Canada and the United States-but what they are doing is tritle to what they could do if the money they now spend on war were spent on missions They have in their armies LAS, 900 men, on whom they spend annually $694,
 00,000, or more than goes to foreign missions in thirty years. England has spent $62O, ,000 900, it is stated, on the South African war and the United States in three years has spent $5O9, OO0,000 on the Spanish and Philippine wars. These two countries alone, it is argued, have in the last three years wasted in war enough to keep 40,000 missionaries in the foreign field for more than an entire generation. Dur ing the nineteenth century the United States alone spent $9,5O0,0O0 for war enough to have maintained a staff of 95,000 missionaries for century.

The story of Goodfellow, the we'll named Glasgow burglar who has just been sent to prison for six years is very remarkable. Goodfellow did his plundering in genteel manner. He dressed and spoke like gentleman and owned a beautiful yacht in which he would drop gracefully down to some coast water place and plunder it on the quiet. After the burglaries he sail ed away, no one for a moment suspect ing the aristocratic visitor He also had carriage and pair of flashing gray horses that assisted him as blind and as means of escape. A favorite trick was to accompany his predestined vic- tims to church, slip out before them and go through the house while the owner and his family were at worship.

The armor plate makers will have to bestir themselves. Herr Krupp's latest production is cannon which sends q steel projectile through the toughest armor that he has been able to pro- duce. But in accomplishing this re- suit much depends upon the powder, and the projectile, as well as on the strength of the gun. Krupp has ef- fected an efficient combination of the three conditions, with such success that the German Emperor has made him promise to keep his processes secret and to give the German government monopoly of the new cannon and arn- munition.

Of trust for which their education fits
them.
Mr.. Ayres is one OF the best edu-
Gated men in Washoe county. Of studi-
Gus habits, has Shown considerable
literary ability in his contributions to
current literary publications, is much
sought after by the Faculty and stud
ents Of the Nevada State University as
a coach for their debating teams and
is a successful lawyer. He is a man
Of wide and varied intellectual attain
ments. and is everywhere looked upon
as a bright and accomplished gentle
man.
The Gazette hopes no such
attacks will be made upon him in the
future.
Mr.. Ayres is much better qualified,
both by education and experience. to
fill the position Of District Attorney for

1t will no readily seen that the attack
above quoted could not have been pro-
yoked by anything other than the fact
that Mr.. Ayres is a young man. And
this is the face Of the fact that the
nominee Of Mr.. Pixies own party for
Attorney General Of this State is said
to be only twenty-six years Of age,
while Mr.. Ayrts is two years older
than that. Can 1t be, in this age Of
the young man, while Marconi, the

still younger than Mr.. Ayres, while in

years longer at the bar.

Of this State show that Mr.. Pike was
