HATS AND WRAPS BARRED.
Women Attending Receptions at the
White House May No Longer
.E# N Wear Them

Col. Symons, master of ceremonies at
the white house, has issued an order
which practically prohibits women from
appearing at evening receptions at the
white house in hats, bonnets or wraps.
1t was given out by the maids In the
women's dressing-room during q re-
ception recently. The appearance of
women In hats and bonnets at even
ing receptions at the white house
has been matter of frequent comment.
Heretofore, however, no on has ever
disputed the right of any guest to dress
as he or she might please. The an
.nouncement recently made that no
one in hat or coat would be permitted to
go upstairs, where the levee was In prog
ress, created amusement in some and
CONSERVATION in others One woman
resented the order as an infring cement on
her personal liberty, and refused to part
from her hat
Very well, madam" acquiesced the
maid. you may keep on your hat, but
you cannot go upstairs That is the Or
der from Col. Symons." The womanre-
,f1ected. The Marine band was playing
the national air, and diplomats in gold
lace and women in decollete gowns were
mounting the stairs. She meekly re-
moved her hat and surrendered both her
wraps and her personal liberty to the
maid. - @

EARTH MAY PROLONG LIFE.
Colorado Clay Which Is Said to pos-
sess Remarkable Medicinal
> Properties.

H. H. Bourne, the discoverer of a
new medical clay in Colorado, the news
of which was heralded over the coun-
try, says he expects to live to be 300
years old. An analysis of the material
has been made and it shows small
per cent. of silicate of aluminium This,
Mr.. Bourne says, is what gives it the
curative properties. 1t Is claimed that
no mineral known to scientists is purer
than this. 1t is nine times finer than
the finest starch. It Is said to be the
purest mineral to be found, with the
exception Of diamonds.
J. Pierpont Morgan has piece of the
silicate of aluminium about the size OF
the end of a small finger, which Is
worth more than $4,000, according to
statements made by chemists
Mr.. Bourne states that he can drink
four gallons of water now without and
discomfort after using the new ma
terial as medicine, and that his
weight has increased as well as his
strength, and though he is &c years
old he feels better than when ha was
40. He claims that he can cure with
this clay any case of typhoid fever or
diseases of that kind within an hour.

OVER A MILE PER MINUTE.
Record of a Fast Run Made by an Eng.

ish correspondent has taken some
pains to get the exact figures for the
English train from those who were
in it and from official sources.
The train was royal special TAX
ing the prince and princess Of Wales
from London to Plymouth The run
of 246 miles was made with no stops,
but in passing Bath, Bristol and Exc
ter. There were serious up grades be-
tween Taunton and Tiverton, between
Totnes and Wranghton for ten miles
on end, between Newton, Abbott and
Totnes, between other less grades.
The line beyond Exeter is a hard Sc
r.es of grade work.
The train weighed 100 tons back OF
the tender, or PIG tons with locomotive.
The average speed throughout, from
start to stop, was 63.1 miles an hour.
1t will be remembered that for some
years the Great Western has been rum
ming several trains day each way be-

.sFRATso a DISGRACE.
Jniversity of Chicago Instructor De-
clares Them to BE Cheating Land
lords and Laundrymen.s

" Fraternities at the University Of
Chicago are a disgrace to the institu-
ton They are cheating landlords and
tailers, grocers and laundrymen out of
q living. Fraternity men are beggars
on the charity Of the university and
squander their fathers hard-earned
money on rank foolishness." Such
were the declarations Of Prof. Solomon
H. Clark, OF the University of Chicago,
the other day before startled audi
ence composed for the most part OF
fraternity men and club girls. Prof.
Clark is the head Of the department OF
public speaking and is member Of q
prominent fraternity of the Midway
ashool.t e
s.Fraternities in this university do
not pay their honest debts, declared
Prof. Clark. ANY organization that
Goes not pay its debts is clearly dis
honest and immoral l know that the
majority of fraternities here, and per-
haps all of them, do not pay their
house rent and other bills. Instead Of
settling these debts they prefer to
squander their money on nonsense.
Everything comes before their duty.
Instead of paying creditors and
keeping out of debt, they throw away
their five dollar bills on dances. These
pleasures take up the majority of their
time. They spend their time 'whoop-
ing up this football nonsense when
they ought to be 'whooping up NOR
ality.
ga fraternity man has no right to
spend his money on dances and such
foolishness while the old man has to
stay out in the cold and rain and catch
the rheumatism to make it for him.
"You are all beggars. dependent on
charity for your education" continued
DR.. Clark, turning his attention to the
rest of the student body. "You pay the
University of Chicago s12O a year and
receive $500 worth of tuition in return.
That means that you are dependent on
The university for $3.50 a year. What
do you give it in return?
"It is by no means the rich man to
whom the credit belongs. 1t is no
credit to rich man to give part OF his
money to university. He has SO much
that it is a charity to him to relieve
him of part of his Millions"

If THE JAps LOSE.

Will Blow Up Their Shipa
Rather Than surrender. sS Is Isl

Despite the lesson of the Boer war,
the Japanese did very little open Or
der and extended formation work in
their last maneuver5, but operated in
solid masses as trim and right angled
as though shaped with a spirit level.
When Field Marshal Marquis Yama-
gaia was asked if Japan would not
change her field tactics to suit the
conditions of modern fighting. he re-
piled:
Japan will reveal her tactics in bat
tie. Be sure that they will. be those
necessary to insure victory
This was not the self-confidence of
the unbeaten warrior, but the express
sion Of the only spirit Japan knows,
for she never considers defeat even as
remote possibility, writes a Yoko-
hama correspondent Of the London
Daily Mail.
From the crews Of the huge Mikasa
and her sister battleships down to the
men on such craft as the White-naped
Crane and the Dragons Lamp-tor-
pedo destroyers-thes are swearing by
every ancestor that they will sink or
capture each consonantly named Rus
sian warship in the Pacific. And do
they not contemplate possible de-
feat? Yes, but capture no. Never will
a Japanese ship, high or low, go into
port prize. @
When the turrets are damned and
the big guns dumb, when the screws
are still and all defense is dead and
done, the men chosen by lot before the
beginning of action will from their sta.
ton in the heart Of the ship perform
''the last full measure of devotion in
exploding the magazines, and the 16-
petaled chrysanthemum on the i'm
perial standard will go deep down in
a weller of blood and steam and
smoke till, ''streaked with ash and
sleeked with oil, the lukewarm whirl-
pools close"

Do Bees Injure AlfalfaY

Grasshoppers in vast numbers are
raiding the ranches near Lovelock, Hum.
boldt County, and it is feared they will
not permit the second crop of alfalfa to
grow. A large quantity of bran, paris
green and common syrup has been
mixed together and scattered around
the fields, which kills the hoppers by
the millions and the honey bees also.
The cattlemen claim that the bees take
a great deal of nutriment from the hay,
working a serious injury to the beef in
dustry. On the other hand the bee men
claim that bees are benefit to the hay.
This matter, says the Silver State CORE.
spondent, will be looked into in the
near future. and if it is proven that the
bees are a detriment to alfalfa they will
have to go.

A SENSATIONAL TRIAL.
Perjury of Witnesses Occasions Re-
buke from Judge Breen.

In the case of Frank Everett and
others against the Goldfield Mining
Company and others, arguments for aud
against the demurrer of defendants were
begun before Judge Peter Breen in the
District Court at Belmont, Nye County,
on June 10. On the 10Th the mo-
ton to dissolve the injunction
heretofore granted was taken up
by the attorneys. and the arguments
for and against the motion were only
concluded at noon on the following
Saturday. The Tonopah Miner of June
25 in its report of this case, says:
During one of the lulls in the presen-
tation of the arguments, and when the
question Of the date of trial of the case
on its merits (f it should come to trial)
came up, the Judge remarked that in
the history of litigation in this State it
would be difficult to find au instance
in which opposing witnesses under oath
gave evidence and, SO much Of it, so pos
ltiveiy and emphatically at variance;
that as the facts related were Of COM
paratively recent occurrence, and the
witnesses themselves were persons in
the prime of life and intellectual vigor,
it was apparent that barefaced perjury
was being INDUCED in by the parties on
one side or the other Ia statement con-
CURED in by the attorneys aud witnesses
presently, and that, should the case come
to trial, the Court would insist on a
jury being empaneled to find the facts.
The Court took the demurrer and
motion under advisement, promising to
decide both within 10 days"

PERSONAL JOURNALISM.
Extracts from Society Notes and a
BuZzing Paragraph.

Some of our metropolitan journals
have a marked personal" bent in their
society" columns. remarks the Sacra-
mento Bee.
It is astonishing how much personal
journalism" people can stand if only
it be fiattering in character.
Here are a few illustrative extracts
from the "society" department of the
San Francisco Post:
Handsome GOwn.-Mrs. J. r. Burn
ham of Oakland is wearing a handsome
reception gown of brown silk this Spring.
The silk shades from dark brown to the
golden shades and is trimmed with gold
lace. 1t is most becoming to Mrs.
Burnham.
Is Looking Particularly Well.-Miss
Helen Wagner. who is an inseparable
friend Of Miss Grace Spreckels, is look
ing particularly stunning this Summer
in bright blue walking gown trimmed
with green. Miss Wagner is immensely
popular in society and is constantly in
demand at home parties.
Now fancy what stir, what an in
dignant buzz, would arise from "soci-
ETY." should such a paragraph as the
following appear in the same depart
ment:
A Sad Misfit.-Mrs Eve Adam is
wearing a most distressing misfit gown
this Summer made of cheesecloth or
some other cheap stuff-one of the
marked down to g. 95" order. Any.
thing more unbecoming it would be
hard to imagine. She is looking par
ticularly bad this year and is immensely
unpopular in society.
But this would be no more personal"
than the fiattering paragraphs above re-
printed from the Post.

CHARTZ-NEwLANDS.
The Former Gets the Latter to Ex-
plain What He Said.

Alfred Chartz in q communication tc
the Carson News few days ago makes
charge against Senator Newlands
with reference to Judge Belknap's vote
against the Eight Hour Law defends
the Judges vote as matter of con.
science, and incidentally, tells that he
is Union man in sympathy with the
legitimate objects and purposes OF
Unionism. That part of Mr.. Chartz'
article which brought forth the ap-
pended reply from Senator Newlands,
follows:
II have been informed that Sena-
tor Newlands has said that Chief
Justice Charles H. Belknap must be
disciplined. l am further informed
that he said it with reference to the
vote of Judge Belknap ON the Eight
Hour Law, so called.
"What does Senator Newlands mean?
The Fusion party platform called fer
the passage of an Eight Hour Law.
Does he mean that said platform is
superior to the Constitution of the
United States and the Constitution of
of the State of Nevada? Does he
further mean that Justice Belknap's as.
sociate Justices were disciplined? Does
he mean they voted under discipline,
and not in accordance to their views of
the Constitutions referred to? claim
that most damnable, but legitimate con-
clusions are plainly inferable from
Senator Newlands' remark that Justice
Belknap must be disciplined. Does
Senator Newlands intend to run our
Supreme Court? If he disciplines our
Supreme Court, who will he not at
tempt to discipline? Do we all intend
to permit Mr.. Newlands to discipline us,
and dictate whom we shall vote for, and
what laws we shall pass, and how shall
the Supreme Court decide such laws?
He must be drunken with power. lean
explain his remark under no other
hypothesis; provided, always, that
he made such a remark"

A NEW TYPE OF FURNACE.
Novel in Construction and Economi
cal in Coal Consumption.

A United States patent has been
granted to Amos H. Mylin and Lewis
B. White for a type of furnace which
the Scientific American says presents
certain novel features of construction,
and that may be very economical in
coal consumption.
The important features of the inven-
ton are an outer casing or fuel recep-
tacle Of any suitable shape forming an
outer combustion chamber, and a shell
of refractory material arranged within
the outer chamber and forming an inner
combustion chamber. The latter cham.
Der is in communication by openings in
it's lower portion with the outer cham
ber, and the outer chamber is provided
with an opening at the top for supply
ing fuel and air down and around the
inner chamber, while the inner chamber
has draft outlet the size of which may
be increased if the heat is to be delivered
and utilized outside of the furnace, and
made smaller, merely to conduct away
the incombustible gases. If the heat is
to be used inside. Except for this shell.
the interior Of the receptacle is entirely
open and without CRATE or other obstruc-
tion. SO that it may be filed with coal,
entirely surrounding the shell, which
should be of refractory material to re
sist the intense heat. The air passes
down from the top opening through the
coal from the coldest to the hottest part
Of the furnace while the gases are being
progressively generated. until, when in.
timately mixed together and gradually
raised in temperature, the air and gases
are delivered into the inner combustion
chamber, where the heat is highest and
most Of the combustion takes place.
This shell is not clogged with coal or
ashes, SO that the inner chamber is
maintained at high and uniform heat
and all the combustible gases are there
consumed without waste and with a
high efficiency Of fuel.
