Change Of Management.

Yesterday arrangements we're made
whereby the Park hotel formerly the
Ormsby house, passed into other
hands. For number of days the hotel
has been suffering from financial
difficulty and no meals have been
served for some time. Today new
people take hold Of the property. Mr..
w. w. Mcmillan, who has taken lik-
ing to this city and who wishes to
remain here. will assume charge Of
the property. 1t is his intention to
conduct the hotel for a number Of
months with a view of purchasing.
At all event the hotel passed into
safe and experienced hands.
A number Of improvements will be
inaugurated and commencing Monday
the dining room will be thrown open
to the public. Ed. Patterson will have
charge of the liquid refreshment emil
of the hosiery, which guarantees the
quality.
Mr.. Allen, who refurnished and re-
fitted the hotel. has suffered a num-
Der of reversed that made it necessary
for him to retire from the business.
The severe illness of his wife, combin.
ed with other difficulties, forced him
from the business. 1t is to be regret
ted that i'll fortune has settled on Mr.
Allen, as he came here and invested
heavily and made the hotel one Of the
best properties in Carson. 1t is hoped
that better fortune awaits him in Cali
fornia, where he will settle for the
present.

Wet Weather Shows the Defects in
Carson's Thoroughfares.
A look along the streets of this CITY

who are constantly fighting improve
ments that something should be done
Along Carson street the rain, instead
OF running into the cutters, settles
into puddles and remains there until
evapcrated or dried by the wind and
sun.
The same and worse is the story all
along the streets in this city A num-
Der of the side streets are cut up with
the effect of the storms and in many
cases the crossings are about a foot
higher than the road bed. This is no
particular fault of any one man or
the city, or the commissioners, but the
fault of all of the people of this city
and county. They have struggled al

shall turnpiked one or two of the
roads and they are the only roads that
have not gone to pieces during the
winter months. This work was all
right, but it only served as taste for
more Of it.
At present one man takes care of
fifty miles Of road and he needs as
sistance. A team of hores should be
added to the equipment, and when
possible the thoroughfares should be
rounded out with good material. Car
son street in particular needs atten-
ton. 1t should be built up of rock
from the prison, the same as the Gard
ner road and inside Of a month, from
| the time it was placed in position, a
magnificent steet would be the result.
| Wherever the prison rock is used a
splendid road results. 1t is inconve-
nient for the time being, but when
ground into the soil it makes such a
road as many cities have spent for
| tunes to secure.
AS it is, Carson has spent money en-
ough in repairs to have built paved
streets from one end to the other in
shoveling the dirt from one gutter tC
the other and then back again. 1t is
time that different and more modern
methods were secured, and it can b
done at q trifling expense to the city
and county and hardly be felt by thu
individual tax payer. Good roads ar

CITY ELECTION,
One is Called for Early in the Month
of Nav

Of May.
In another column there appears
call for city election for full board
Of city trustees. There has not been
a city election held here for five years,
with the result that all the trustees
are occupying positions by appoint
ment and not by election.
This, in itself, speaks well of the
action of the city fathers and the es-
TEEN and trust in which they are
held. The duties have been performed
to the satisfaction of the people, or
there would have been a complaint
on the part of the citizens and new
elecllon demanded.
Carson has been exceedingly fortu-
nate in the selection of city officers.
During the past ten or more years
there has been no contest in the mat
ter of elections and in fact, it has
been a hard matter to drum up eno-
ugh enthusiasm to carry on an cleo
ton.
The present board is composed en-
tirely of men who hold interests in
this city and her ARRANGEMENTS. They
have acted with economy in all de-
tails, as is shown by the condition ct
the treasury and the rate of taxation.
With such action before the people it
does not seem that another election
is apt to take place.
At the present time the people are
satisfe, with the conditions as they
exist and it is doubtful if the requir,
ed number people could be gather.
ed to fill an opposition ticket to the
gentlemen who occupy the positions
One Of features is that the trus.
tees serve without pay, and when there
is a kick registered, it should be
borne in mind that the men at the
helm are acting in the very best faith
and without remuneration.
| Mayor Mackey, who is at the head
Of the board, has rendered his resig
nation half a dozen times, but the
board has absolutely declined to &C
cept it, which has been in accord
with the general feelings of the people
of this city. ,t.sssslae,5 Z!
In the present case it appears tina
there is no need of an election as tn,
city is served well, the people salts
fed and the conditions could not b,
improved, while it means an item o

HIGH PRICED FOWLS,

Why do we not all get busy and go
to raising chickens? There is a chick
en- farm at place called Centre Nor
iches. on Long Island, where white
Plymouth Rocks are speciality. and
they recently paid $500 for a rooster
and 500 each for four hens of thu
breed. Think of paying 5000 for FIVE
fowls which, to the ordinary observer
are not different from the common so
cent kind, but it is blood that counts,
and it is the expectation of future profit
that induced the farm to pay what
seems a ridiculous price for chickens.
A correspondent of The Brooklyn Eagle
thus throws light on the transaction:
This new pen of 5000 fowl at the
pie are offering So each for. but they
are not for sale. Just imagine the ex-
quisite fineness of So egg served at
ones breakfast table! Or consider the
of this $500 rooster served with the
proper "fxin's" And yet you can't buy
him. for he and the eggs are con-ia
cred more valuable for other purposes.s
These figures show that the price
paid for these fowls was not a bad bar
gain. A hen producing eggs worth $24
dozen will not be long paying for
herself. even at the price paid for these
white Plymouths. Nor does this yard
confine itself entirely to the one breed,
as it paid $3.50 for a young buff Cochin
rooster, and has both hens and ROSTERS
costing all the way from $40 to SIS
each.
1t may be that just now there is
something of a fad which causes the
demand for fine fowls and eggs at high
prices, but it is a fad which pays those
who take advantage of it. Whether
this is true or not. it is true that there
is always a demand for fine fowls of
various breeds and at good prices.
Even the common scrub varieties COM
mand paying prices. as all realize who
have to buy eggs or chickens All
cannot raise 800 or $500 fowls but
there Is money in any kind.

THEY ARE DESIGNATED.

The. ancient little city of York, in
Pennsylvania. has been getting a taste
OF the brother in black and the flavor
seems to be disaereeable. IL we may
Judge from this extract from an article
in one OF their newspapers:
Many residents of the West End
through which the excursionists are
from the Western Maryland station to
the park. have long complained that
these excursions were a nuisance be-
cause of the debauchery and disorder
~ conduct of many of the excursion
lists. who also patronize such saloons
In the West End as will sell them beer
and liquor at the regular price. Many
of the saloons in other sections of the
city discourage their trade by charging
them exorbitant prices for drinks.
This is very sad, and with The Ports
dition of affairs is "a shame and an in
Justice" and The Star intimates that
there should be a cabinet meeting held
to devise means to protect the inhabi-
tants of the ancient and honorable city
of York against the entertainments of
the negroes who should remain in the
South. Do not these colored fellow
citizens know that If they go North and
show themselves as they really are all
the philanthropy of our Northern
brethren. so freely dealt out while the
black peril remains at a distance. will
evaporate and the people will be ready
to call for battle. murder and sudden
death, or anything else that will relieve
them of Sambo?
These Yankees are just like most of
the lip philanthropists on the other
side of Mason and Dixon. AS soon as
they get taste of the debauchery
and disorderly conduct which is so
common in all miscellaneous gather
ings Of negroes in the South they set
up a lusty kick and call for relief. We
have too much of human sympathy to
ejoice much at their troubles but If
the reading of such complaints as the
above should cause us to indulge in an
audible smile we feel that we shall be
forgiven.

NOT A SAFE MAN.

The Hartford Comm Times, one of
the most conservative journals in the
country, concludes a long and scathing
by expressing the belief that when the
voters fully understand the matter
they will perceive that the old and
ne-honored way of regarding the
'idential Office is the best way and
only safe way, and that the man
~ fills it should be called to it bv the
people and should not seize it as Caesar
and Napoleon seized their crowns. and
ne Theodore Roosevelt is seeking to APP
propriate it now"
One fact that should be kept before
all the people all the time is that
Roosevelt is a dangerous man for the
position he holds and that his election
Will be a serious menace to the peace
and well-being of the country. 1t is
not question of mere craftsmanship. 1t
is not question OF Republican or Dem
ocratic ascendency, nor is it a matter
of holding the Offices, and controlling
the patronage. 1t is a much higher
anu Hnucn more important matter than
any of these. for it is a question of
public safety and national security and
tranquility. Republicans who are not
blinded by partisanship, or stultifed by
the desire for office and power know
this as well as Democrats do. and MANY
of them have not hesitated to express
themselves very freely on the subject
But these Republican leaders are
powerless to help themselves. They
are bound to the Republican chariot
and cannot release themselves except
by giving up their political belief and
casting their influence and their for
tunes with the Democrats. That very
many of the rank and file will do this
we feel assured. They are not after
the Offices and have more regard for
the general public good than they have
for party name. No one fact should
be more forcibly and continuously i'm
pressed on the voters of the country
than that Parker is safe man and
Roosevelt is not.

RUSSIA AND ENGLAND.
No Proposal for Settlement of Pending
Questions Has Been Made

NO Proposal for Settlement of Pending
Questions Has Been Made.
st. Petersburg, July 1.-THE Assoc
ciated Press is authoritatively informed
that since the outbreak of the war
neither Russia or Great Britain had
proposed negotiations looking to the
settlement of pending questions be
tween the two countries and that con-
sequently the report that Russia has
rejected any overtures by Great Britain
in this direction is a mistake.
The important fact, however, has
developed from the investigations
made by the Associated Press that
prior to the outbreak of hostilities
tentative negotiations for the adjust
ment of long standing difficulties be-
tween the two countries had actually
begun, but when Great Britian's ally
became involved in war with Russia,
the improperly of continuing the ne
gotiations was recognized by both
parties and by mutual agreement they
were adjourned.
Since that time there has been no
effort by either side to renew them.
Nevertheless it seems beyond ques-
ton that the diplomacy of both coun-
tries Is striving to pave the way to-
ward an entente at the conclusion of
the war. In the meantime such in
dependent questions as arise are being
adjudicated in the best of spirit, as
witnessed in the sealing cases and in
Great Britain's undertaking to act for
Russia in the protection of the seal
fisheries of the Kommander islands in
the Boring Sea.
Especially since the arrival of Sir
Charles Hardinge, the British Am
bassador, whose special mission is be-
HeVed to be the cultivation of bettar
relations in view of an ultimate entente
has there been a noticeable ameliora-
ton of anti-British sentiment in Rus
STA.

They know that the

that if Judge Parker is elected he will
not allow any experiments with the

try to change that standard. If both
House and Senate should be Democratic
