This command of his paymaster oc-

highly delicate and difficult matter. but

were two points in his favor. None of
his English friends suspected for a
moment that he was in the pay of the
French secret service; and among his
numerous friends he reckoned Cecil
FelloweS son and secretary of General
Fellowes, the head of the ordnance
office. The designs for the gun would
be carefully studied by the general be-
fore a final decision by the English
government, and copies of the plans
would very likely be now at the gen
erals house. BY the end of his third
after-b breakfast cigarette Pronge had
decided on this method of action and
dispatched telegram to one of his
subordinates to come to him at once

DO YOU WANT TO DO IT?

idea is worth the price of admission.

ests the entire community:
Philanthropy, August 10, '03
Editor Morning Appeal: Do you think
that the people of Carson City would
be induced to change the name of the
place from Carson City to Philan-
thropy? If they will do this we will

The above explains itself 1t is sim
ply up to the people of Carson City
to do the act. If they want to have
a new institution on the gorunds they
have the chance. Just what the new
deal is, is hard to say, as the gentle
man writing state that it is to be a
phialnthropic institute, and as Carson
needs one the very worst kind, there
is no doubt but that the very common
name of old Kit Carson will be drop
ped in favor of the newer one and the
also considerably longer.
If Carson can't afford to part with
her name in view of the inouctment7
held out and has to let the chance
slip by. it might be we'll to hand the
package over to Reno She is fairly
sizzling for the want of a new name
for the town that is to be annexed
and prizes are offered to the one fur
ntshing the best name for the new
place. Just take up the proposition
from the gentleman above and a name
is secured and a bonus with it.
