ANDERSEN AND THE FAIRIES.

Who says there are no fairies? The children,
who ought to know most about them, are to
celebrate in many public schools to-day the CEN
sCnaFy of the birth of Hans Christian Andersen,
the fairies great historian. Does not that prove
that there are fairies? Not many historians Of
real people have had their centennial anniver-
saries observed but to-day hosts Of children of
every nation under the SUN will have permission
from the teachers to think and talk about the
Danish poet who was their friend and the
fairies friend.
No fairies? Did you ever see a pavement in
New-York where in pelting rain little silver
clad fairies were not jumping up and down with
glee? Can you think Of any tenement so rickety
or house splendid that these little folk cannot
find their way at night to the bedside of the
children? What would the world be without
fairy wands? And how could things ever be
expected to come out right if the fairies did not
interfere? Ask any child, or any grown-up, for
that matter. There is nothing In all this city
that could make up for the loss of the fairies if
they should ever go away.
1t is no wonder that Hans Christian Andersen
loved and wrote about fairies, for his life was a
fairy story. In the first place, he just escaped
being born on April FOOLS Day-surely fortu-
nate chance for him and for the fairies. Then
he found his father, poor shoemaker, dreaming
always of the former prosperity and wealth of
his family, and of course when his father did
that the fairies were talking to him. After his
father died, the widow of popular poet was
touched by fairy wand and adopted the child.
When he grew to be a young man he went to
the city in the hope of getting place in thea
tire; but the theatres would not have him, be-
cause he was so thin. And when he tried to
learn singing his voice failed. But the fairies
had not deserted him. They went, as only
fairies could go, TO the King himself, and
thenceforth Hans Christian Andersen had no
more troubles. He travelled and wrote poems
and stories, and on his SEVENTEEN birthday was
presented with n volume in which was one of
his stories printed in fifteen languages. But
even that was not so great a tribute as the
celebration to-day by the school children.

PREJUDICE.

How prejudice does warp mems minds and
obscure their vision! Even New-Jersey states
men are not exempt from this weakness. as was
demonstrated by their treatment Of certain bills
during the session Of the Legislature just closed.
For instance. there were three measures pre-
sented for the consideration Of the Solons in
which the Public Service Corporation was sup
posed to be interested, to wit: One annexing
Bloomfield to Newark. another providing for a
commission to inquire into the desirability Of
prohibiting perpetual municipal franchises and
the third our old friend the Morris Canal
Abandonment bill. Dame Rumor had it that
the +, S. c. wanted the canal and the annexa-
ton measures put through in a hurry. and that
the franchise proposition to be smOthered.
Maybe this was true, and maybe it wasn't For
the purpose Of this story the point is that peO-
pie in and around the State House believed it to
be so, and from that belief grew prejudice di-
recty contrary to the supposed wishes of the
T. S c. With powerful mental telescopes the
statesmen and camp followers thought that they
saw the Public Service tag, and thereupOn their
indignation did wax wroth
They give us bad trolley service and now
well upset their apple cart" was the way that
one patriot translated the prevailing feeling.
And so it came about that the Canal and the
Annexation bills were strangled to slow music
while the Franchise bill went through with
whoop. No wonder that the P. S. c. is some
times inclined to doubt the wisdom Of the vox
pOpuli.

nEvELOpvEyT AND COMPETITION.

IN furtbor consideration Of the new rapid
transit proposals two conclusions Whlch We
drew at first from the committee repoIe
soen, n he fullv sustained. One of them is that
tbe InteTborough company will be enaoied 10
cornnlete its original system in symmeulcai
manner. in general accordance with the plans
formed years ago. The other is that an ample
ield has been provided for competition advan-
tageous to the public
There are two reasons why the AnterDoFousn
sbould 1e favored in the way which the report
suggests. In the first place certain adoluohs TO-
or extensions of, its present lines would be e1-
oeedinclv seryiceable, and the benefits which
would result could not be otherwise supplied.
Thus a line in LexingtOn-ave. above 42d-st and
q line south OF 42d-st via 7th-ave. would exactly
e,1it a multitude of passengers 1t will he seen
that the two routes naturally go together'
Without the latter the former would lead 10
distressing congestion on the lower section OF
the present subway, but with large part or the
tide Of travel flowing over the lower West Side
route that result is not 10 he apprehended.
But immediate public advantage is not the
only valid reason for encouraging consistent
development of the Interborough system. Inc
subway now in operation belongs to the city OF
New-YOrk. which will ultimately come INTO Iull
possession Of It and whose permanent interest
viii be served by every addition to Its utility
The Rapid Transit Commission has not chosen
IN mention that consideration, we believe but
presumably it has not disregarded so important
factor in the case. II there were not an ample
territory left for subway undertakings, 1t might
be necessary to look at the question from an
other point of view, but, unless all the indlca-
tions are misleading, there is going to be compe-
tition enough elsewhere TO protect the public IN
terests

A Common Sense Decision.

In the District Court of Washoe
County, Judge Curler has handed
down decision to the effect that
workmen who furnish supplies to the
owners of buildings and perform lab
or in placing such supplies in the con-
struction of the building. and who
have contracted for such supplies and
labor directly with the owner of the
building, are original contractors and
are entitled to all the rights enjoyed
by original contractors. This deci.'-
ion is directly contrar yto one handel
down~4nany years ago by Judge Chen
and which has been followed for
many years by attorneys. The point
which is of greatest interest to the
workmen and sub-contractOrs, has
never been passed upon by the Su-
preme Court.

Postoff:ce Waits Overcome.

Those who called at the TOnOpah
Postoffice one day last week for their
mail were treated to spectacle
which has possibly never before been
witnessed in any city of tn, United
States. Comfortably seated on stool
enjoying the contents of bottle of
beer and a ham sandwich sat a man,
the perfect picture of contentment.
He had been in the habit of waiting
in line for hours at a time, standing
until he ha dbecome leg weary. When
he entered the postoffice he carried
stool and some lunch. AS each per-
son left the window he moved up
a peg in line and when about half way
to his turn hunger overlook him, but
he had come prepared for such an
emergency.-Sonopa Sun.

MoNTANA-ToNoPAH.
Dividend Of $4,000 is Looked Upon as
Certain.

There was a general roundup Of
the big-guns in the Montana onopah
company in this city yesterday and
the calculation was that a special
meeting of the directors would be
held. That it was to have been an
important gathering is evidenced IN
the fact that because one, just one,
of the eleven men constituting the
board could not get here. no formal
session was held Another trial will
be made on Saturday, and the entir,
board being at roll call, session will
be held either at Reno or at Tono-
pah.
Those who reached here from, dit
ferent points of the compass yeste--
day were c. e. Knox, president; Don
aid B. ellis, general manager; Edgar
Knox secretary and treasurer, M. L..
Mcdonald, G. F. Badgett, r. P. Dun
lap, c. A. Bartlett aid Senator George
S. Nixon. c. E. Morris was expectei
down from Montana. but he found il
impossible to get here and the expec'
tation is that he will join his asso-
ciates at Elko on Saturday, when A.
/ c. Ellis, Jr vice-president of the com
pany and w. H Dickson, the Other
local director. will be on hand also.
Just what the meeting is being ar
ranged for not a single one of the
directors will admit. It is believed.
however that one of the important
matters to receive attention will be
that of arranging a dividend schedule
that can be carried out without call
ing the directors together for each
declaration The company is known
to have a handsome surplus in its
treasury now and it will not be SUI
prising to hear that the directors have
posted dividend at the coming meet
ing OF cents share, or $4,000, anO
that the order has been made to re
peat it quarterly.
There may be others matters OF
moment to consider, but If there is
the directors and officers of the com
pany are keeping it to themselves sc
closely that no intimation of what il
is can be cleaned. One thing is Ger
tain, every last mothers son of then
are in high good humor, so the share
holders need not fear hearing anythin.

TOO MUCH GOLD.
Statistician Fears Product Will De-
preciate Price.

W. L. Haverman of Cincinnati, n
well known statistician and authority
on the production of precious metals
says there will be a greater produc-
tion of gold in the United States this
year t. IN ever before in the history
of the country, and that Nevada gives
promise of outstripping all other states
in the production of the yellow metal.
Generally speaking he says there is
an increase in the amount mined ID
every mining district where gold is
found
This outlook continued Mr.. Hav-
erman, has caused a great deal of
to the effect the increase would have
upon the value of gold and whether
the standard will be lowered. Quite
a number of experts predict that this
year the production of gold will be in
excess of one hundred million dollars
and that in 1906 it may run up to as
Z
duction of gold in the United States
$8O,000,0O0 while in 1903 the output
was about $74,00O,00O. The figures for
1904 are not yet available, but they
will show a large increase, possibly
greater than in 1902, which was a
very prosperous year in the mineral
districts.
"a great many people may believe
that the increase in the production
of gold may result in its depreciation
/ 1t is true that any large increase I
the production of the yellow metal will
effect the value of gold to the extent
of raising the prices of commodities
and thereby necessitating the use ct
more money to purchase things when
now come at lower prises."
