A Remarkable Compositions

The following composition was pre-
pared by pupil in the San Francisco
schools. 1t was called "The Worlds
Greatest Widower." Here it is:
"Kipg Henry VIII was the greatest
widower that ever lived. He was born
at Ammo ID. mimic, in the year 1866. He
bad five hundred and ten wives besides
children. The first was beheaded and
executed. The second was revoked.
SHE never smiled again, but she said that
the word Calais would be found on her
heart Immediately after death. The
greatest man in this reign was Lord Sir
Garnet Wolsey. He was sir named the
Boy Batchelor. He was born at the
age of fifteen, unmarried.
Henry VIII was succeeded on the
Throne by his great grandmother, Mary
Queen OF Scots, sometimes known as
the Lady OF the Lake or the Lay Of the
Last Minstrel

James d. Torreyson of Carson. a
prominent lawyer and formerly attorney
general of Nevada, died of hear. failure

his health has not been good for some
time, his death was sudden and entirely
unexpected. He was graduate Of Yale

Judge Torreysbn was native OF Wells

Feb. IA, 1854. He removed with his
parents to this state in August, 1863
He was graduated from Yale college
in the class of 1879. He was admitted
to the bar ir January, 1882. aud served
four consecutive terms as district at.
torney OF Ormsby county, when he was

vices were held Saturday.

How are we to explain aspirations Of
the dead? The evidence for these was
much less copioas, and, necessarily much
less satisfactory. No coincident crisis
in the affairs Of the dead could. OF course
be detected, as 10 the case OF the living.
Again. even il we grant that telepathy
between the living is fact in nature, a
ghost of the dead can hardly hope to
prove bis identity.
To take a case: A young American
commercial traveller, alone ia bis room
at hotel. suddenly saw his dead sister
standing beside him. He rose to en-
brace her, but she fed like the shadow
of the mother OF Odysseus ia. Homer.
be went to his distant home, and told
his parents, adding that on the cheek of
his sister there was a scratch which he
had not seen 10 her lifetime. The
mother explained that 10 arranging,
when alone, flowers around the dead
body of the sister 10 the coffin she had
accidentally scratched the face, but con.
cealed the mark with powder.
Now, il telepathy exists, the mother,
brood,ag over the memory OF the daugh-
ter, might transmit the whole vision OF
the dead, scratch and all, to the mind OF
her distant son n.--Harper's Magazine

Tonopah Stock SwindIer

Edmund Burke, tue Los Angeles min
ing fakir, Is being sued in that city for
an accounting: IS president OF the
''Tonopah Gold Fio,as Mining Company
he is charged with not only having paid
dividends or guarantees" as he calls
them. out q the capital stock OF the
company, but has embezzled aud appro-
priated to his own use all the funds OF
the corporation. The suit has been
brought by William II. Watson, one of
the stockhi ers, who is represented as
counsel by a prominent attorney of
Southern California.
Detailed evidence has been secured
after six months labor to prove that
Burke's mining scheme is the greatest
fraud perpeuated on the people of the
west in many years. The state Of affairs
will be brought out in court aud 1t is
said that the public will be appalled, by
its enormity.
Burke's methods have been to prey on
the ignorant classes to great extent
He was in the habit OF paving money to
the bell and elevator boys In Los Auge-
les hotels to furnish him the names OF
the chamber maids and servant girls so
he might send them his alluring adver.
tising matter about the alleged riches of
the Tonopah Gold Fields Mining Com
pany His income from this source was
enormous. 1t is believed than when the
truth comes out that his swindlipg
schemes have brought him as much or
more money than either Letsan Ballet
or G. w. Rumble was able to accumulate
by their nefaiious mining advertise
ments.
The enormity Of Burke's swindles can
best be understood when it is stated that
he paid out from $1,000 to $4,000 per
month for advertising.

Briber Worse Than the Bribed

Another union leader, Philip Vein
seimer. former president OF the New
York Building Trades Allian nee, has been
convicted Of soliciting bribe in order
to prevent him from ordering a strike
among the plumbers who were working
for the contractor who complained
against Weinseimer. The defendant
asked for $2,700 and ed it. Later,
the contractor reg. ey,.s- .ae transaction
and the conviction OF Weinseimer ia the
result.
Nov Nea' York has law under which
men who bribe labor leaders are equally
guilty with the men who accept the
bribes. 1t will be interesting to see
whether or not proceedings are institu-
ted against the contractor who paid
Weinseimer the money. He will say,
true, that the money was extorted from
him, that he had to pay it in order to
keep his men at work. But will that be
a sufficient justification under the law ?
1t has always seemed to US that the
man who gives bribe is even worse, il
there are deg rees in guilt of that char
acter. than the man who takes bribe.
Usually the bribe giver is wealthy man
who deeires to add to his wealth in an
unlawful manner. The individual who
gets the money usually needs it very
badly or he would never resort to that
method of acquiring it. He at least has
this poor excuse. The bribe giyer has
no right whatever to appeal for mercy.
Weinseimcr is undoubtedly a rascal
who should serve term in prison. He,
and men like him, can do more 10 few
weeks to bring the cause of union labor
into disrepute than all the citizens al
liances that were ever organized. But
the fact remains that no man was ever
yet brbed that double offense was not
committed. And usually it Is only the
bribe taker who is punished. st. Lake
