his beloved the same beauty that in the
sunset paints the western skies. 1t is
the same diamond here lurking under
human eyelid and there under the
closing eyelids of the day. Here, in
small compass, is the ancient and nat

Prince Troubetskoy. the artist, once
painted in Paris the portrait of an
American who was cross eyed. The
painter thought a great deal about the
matter and finally made his picture
cross eyed, too, so that it should be a
faithful likeness.
When it was done, the original
looked at it and said:

Eight-Hour Law is Dead.

In the District Court at Dayton Tues
day in the matter of the case against
DIR. j. Warne Phillips, charged with
violating the eight-hour law passed by
the last session of the Legislature,
Judge Murphy decided that the law
was unconstitutional.
This, he declared, is because of the
commission of the words, "Wherein the
life, health or limb is jeopardized."
The Reno Journal says the attorneys
of Phillips openly charged on the
streets of Carson Wednesday afternoon
in the presence of six reputable citi-
zens of the State that the eight-hour
law was a copy of Colorado statute
with the omission of the words above
quoted that would have made it oper.
alive.
Attorney Chartz said that he would
make these charges public in the Car
son News and in the next issue of the
Reno Ledger and the Gardnerville
COURIER.
The Carson News says about every
body surmised that the eight-hour law
twas unconstitutional and it is charged
that the introducers and apparently
most enthusiastic workers in its be-
half, well knew that it would not stand
the tests of the courts, as it stood.
The eight-hour law was political ex-
pediency."

Do the readers of the COURIER rea-
lie the magnitude of the irrigation
work just commencing in Churchill
county? The government is prepar-
ing to take out l 400 cubic feet of water
per second from the Truckee river and
convey it by canal to 200, 900 acres of
sagebrush land. This will make $500
eighty-acre farms and furnish homes
for 10000 people, for the farms will
not all contain eighty acres and one or
more good sized towns will spring into
existence. When the government
throws the land open to settlement,
which will probably be this fall or next
spring, there will be a grand rush of
homeseekers to secure choice tracts,
and the land will all be taken in a
very short time.

Reservation Matters.
QUELQUEFoIs.

Maj. Laughlin, Inspector of Indian
Reservations, paid the Walker Lake
Reservation a visit last week to ar
range matters with the Piutes for the
throwing open of the reservation.
Some years ago, we understand, Con-
gress took action looking toward the
throwing open of this reservation, and
it has only remained for the Indians
to accept the conditions to have the
greater portion of the reservation
thrown open. Last week was an aus
picious time for visit by the inspec-
tor, as great many Indians were there
from all over the country. We are in
formed that the offer made by the
government is to give each Indian who
is the head of family twenty acres of
land and $500. The land is to be held
in trust for twenty-five years, and at
the expiration of that time will be
decided to them, with the understand
ing that it is to be held in severalty.
There are in the neighborhood of one
hundred heads of families now on the
reservation, and the money consider
alton is to be paid to them at once. At
this meeting with Major Laughlin, the
Indians agreed to these conditions, and
it will therefore be but a short time
before action is taken-in fact a sur
vey will be started soon. The change
will simply throw Walker Lake and
ton out, practically leaving the graz
ing and farming land to the Indians.
This move will throw open to the
prospector much mineral land which
is considered valuable, also consider
able timber land.-Lyon County Times

Indigestion Causes
Catarrh Of the
Stomach.

For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh OF the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves Of the stomach, thus caus-
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead OF
the juices of natural digestion. This is
called Catarrh Of the Stomach.

Sig. Commentators, In the course Of .
lecture on various data provided by the
examination OF the remains OF the fallen
tower, said the shape Of the bricks proved
that they had been used for various pur-
poses at previous stage. in arches, fortiica-
tons, tops Of walls. &c. The most impor-
tant fact was that they were not Venetian.
but Roman bricks. Moreover, when they
were manufactured they were not manipu-
lated like modern bricks. but formed
from slices Of clay, a. they were found
without the natural layers being disturbed.
This process resulted In each individual
brick being able to support weight quite
four times as great as the modern brick

Northumberland Of Ireland Believes II 10
Csntsgisus and Infectious.
Special Cable Despatch to THE SUN.

Special Cahe Despdfeh to THE SUN,
LONDON. April 1.-THE report OF the
Registrsr-General for Ireland on the preva-
lenoe and distribution OF cancer shows
that there has been q steady increase In
the disease in that country.
The number Of deaths i'm Ireland In 1871
from that cause was 81 per 100000 OF the
population; during 1891. 10 per 100000; ana
during 1901, eS for the same approximate
figures. In England and Wales the death
rate between 1871 and 1900 rose from ~
to IS per 100 900, and In Scotland from -
to 30. The returns from Bavaria, Hoi-
land, Norway, Austria and Prussia show
q distinct increase In the death rate for the
ten years ending in 1900. The returns from
tho United States tell the same story, but
the percentage In that country goes up
much more slowly.
In Ireland the County Kerry suffers the
least. the deaths being less than ~ per
10000 The West Of Ireland generally
comes next. Tho strip Of country from
Londonderry 70 Dublin averages from
10 to 90 per 100 900. The Carlow-Loughau
district exceeds 100 per 100000, as does
also the Crossmaglen district In the ex'
treme southwest. No explanation can be
found for the physical features on the
geography. except. possibly. the damp
climate and the cold. clayey soil.
The Registrar points out certain facts,
which have been substantiated by the In
formation he has collected. He says:
Cancer y spread or generated by I'M
wholesome food In dwellings which are
generally In an unsanitary condition
Wounds and injuries are sometimes pro-
vocative Of the disease. a. Is irritation OF
the lips by excessive smoking: but cancer
generally seems to be q constitutional
disease. Where one member OF family
has been affected by cancer, others often
suffer with tuberculosis, and sometimes
even with epilepsy, lunacy and idiocy. In
many cases 1t is hereditary. and also to a
certain extent infectious. II has been
contracted through the lips by using the
pipes Of sufferers. More than one case has
been observed to occur In different families
living In the Same house, or among those
who 60 from one occupation to another,
90 seem TO be justNHak in concluding that
the disease IL to some extent contagious
and infectious
Many English doctors are now convinced
that tho eating Of pigs flesh in different
forms IL greatly responsible for the in.
Grease Of the disease, pointing out that
II n most common among the poor. whose
chief meat Is that Of pigs. which is also the
case In Ireland, while the disease is ex-
tremely rare among the Jews.

Of the distribution OF e. 900 900 in Govern
ment dividends paid at the beginning OF the

Despite tho persistent dearnees Of money,
the tone Of the Stock Exchange has been

Of the Stock Exchange. II has been ex-
emplitied In the case OF the London County
Councils loan OF f5.00O0o0. which was
issued a week ago at osls, and which bears
interest at the rate Of per cent. The
Council has been generally assailed for
coming into the market az public bor-
rover at the present time. yet its new stock
Is now at ~ per cent. premium. Colonial
Government securities are all higher from

Australians, which il was thought were

PExIN. April Ii.-Yung Lu, the First
Grand Secretary, who had been i'll for some
time, died here to-day. This was the man
who was promoted from Viceroy Of Chill
to Gcneralissimo Of the army for the pur.
pose Of DISCRIMINATING the foreigners In
1900 and who attacked the legations and
aftsrward ned with the Dowager Empress.
For this action she promoted him to be
Grand Secretary, the highest Office in the
empire. He also hoodwinked the Min
isters afterward and succeeded In escaping
punishment.
The best Of the native element rejoice
over his death. They regarded him as an
enemy Of reform because he was the leader
Of the ultra conservative element. These
people are also pleased over his death be-
cause he was a blood brother OF the notori-
Gus Boxer leader. Gen. Tung Flu Hsiang,
and had sworn to protect the latter, who
has been trying for some time 70 foment
another uprising in the north
Yung Lu had a remarkable career. He
rose from q small military command to
the highest offices in China Many accu-
sations OF not protecting foreigners and
OF swindling the Government were made
against him and for q time he was In dis
favor; but his two-eyed peacock feather
was eventually restored and he was pro-
NOTED rapidly. Yung Lu was a Manchu.
and at tho beginning Of the Boxer out
break was vioeroy Of the Province Of Chill
and Generalissimo Of the Chinese Army
At that time he was said to be the most
powerful man in China, his influence being
greater even than that Of the late Ii Hung
Chang. It was stated at one time that he
was the real author Of the anti-foreign
outbreak in Pekin and Tien-tsin He
commanded the troops that opposed the
allies After the troubles were over he
WA In disfavor for q while. and strong
accusations werc made against him by
the foreign Ministers. He denied. however,
that be had given any aid TO the Boxers
and said he had done all In his power
TO protect the foreigners. The Dowager
Empress then restored all his honors and
made him the First Secretary. The ap-
pointment was not pleasing to the foreign
srs. but no formal objection was made.
