A Successful Entertainment for the
Benefit of w. 0. w.

The presentation of 1.-The Military
Girl,' in Loves hall on Friday and
Saturday evenings last, by local
artists under the leadership of Fred
Carlyle and A. Mellor, was really the
hit of the local dramatic business for
many years. The play was just of
the right order-Iight comedy-to
come within the scope of amateurs !;
and the managers we're so thoroughly
acquainted with their business that
in the course of two weeks they had
the performers we'll drilled in their
respective parts. There was a good
house each evening, the second tie
audience being the larger. The
reserved seats were all occupied, and
the outcome from financial point of
view was very satisfactory to all con
cerned. Those present we're kept in
a laughing mood from beginning to
close, and everybody voted the affair
decided success. The cast of char
acters was as follows:
General Bang, Mrs. W. v. Zumbiel

Introduction of Quartz
JeWeIry at johannesburg

j. II. Langhorst tells an interest
ing story how he became the means
of introducing quartz jewelry in the
shape of watch chains, etc., to the
gold fields of the Rand, in South
Africa. 1t is not every kind of
quartz that is suitable for quartz
jewelry The quartz met with along
the mother lode of Amador county is
not the best material for this in
dustry. 1t is too porous and carries
too much pyrites. The quartz must be
of the most solid character and i'm
pregnated with free gold. The gold
fields of South Africa are destitute of
such quartz, although the greatest
producers Of this precious metal in
the world. Nine or ten years ago
Mr.. Langhorst received an order for
costly chain, each link to be en-
bellished with slab of quartz. The
order was executed by Rothschiid
and Hadenfelt of San Francisco, a
prominent and conscientious jewelry
firm of the city.
The quartz setting comprised var
ious samples and coIors of quartz,
some from Sheep Ranch, of a rose
color, others black and white
quartz, all showing free gold. 1t
was a very handsome chain, and cost
in the neighborhood of $50 A Cornish
miner that was employed around
Jackson, was the purchaser. He
afterwards left the county, and went
to Johannesburg, where the chain
attracted much notice. The result
was lively demand for jewelry OF
like character, sent to London firms,
who in turn sent the orders TO be
filled in San Francisco by the same
manufacturing firm RotbschIld and
Hay denfeldt. This firm took pride
in maintaining its reputation fol
such goods, and even to this day,
they are doing a large business in the
manufacture of these wares tor the
foreign market, principally South
Africa.

The Staples Transcript on Appeal

The transcript on appeal in the
Staples murder case has been receiv-
ed by the county clerk. 1t is mass
i've document, we believe by far the
largest transcript in criminal case
from Amador county that has ever
been filed in the supreme court. 1t
embraces 826 pages of the transcript
proper, with II pages of index matter.
The printing of this book, at 90 cents
per page, which is the established
rate for such work in this county,
will foot up over S760. The county
clerk s. office has been busy the
past few days comparing the
printed transcript with the original
documents on file in the case, and
marking the corrections, one correct
ed copy being forwarded to the
supreme court, which constitutes the
official record in the case. About 80
copies are printed, SO that each copy
will cost over SIS.

How He Missed A Fortune.

j. B. Meek is telling story OF
hard luck that he has experienced
the past year. Some time ago he was
visiting in Ell Dorado county, and
was offered layout to work a
pocket mine some miles above
Georgetown. He inspected the mine,
and from the indications came to the
conclusion that at bend in the ledge
pocket would be reached. lie
advised running tunnel in a certain
direction. He was offered all he
could make by paying ten cent
royalty to the owner. He wanted $40
or $50 to take up the proposition
and tried to get parties in Amador
county to grub stake him, but
failed. Recently he heard that two
other parties took up the proposition,
and after running in the direction be
advised, struck a pocket, which he
claims was worth 100000. That is
how he missed a fortune. The
amount may be somewhat over stated,
but at any rate snug little fortune
was within his reach, and only lacked
a paItry few dollars to enable him to
realize it.

rendering him unconcious for a short

the pipe, and Mr.. Gothic was, stoop-

receive the full force of the blow. 1t
was fortunate that the pipe did not
strike him on the head, as it would
have inflicted far more serious injury

Kennedy mine, was badly hurt on
Sunday last. In some manner his
partner struck him accidentally on
the head with an ak, cutting a severe

On Saturday morning a dwelling
house situated on Sutter hill, near
the Central Eureka mine, was utterly
destroyed by fire, with all its furni-

about 9 o'clock, and originated it is

TOO CARELESS or HEALTH
Men Wiser Than Women in the Mat
ter Of Proper Food and Neces-
sary Relaxation.

One of the mistakes of women is not
knowing how to eat If a man is not to
be fed when she is, she thinks a cup OF
tea and anything handy is good enough.
II she needs to save money, she does 1t
at the butchers cost If she is busy, she
will not waste time in eating. II she Is
unhappy, she goes without food. A man
eats if the sheriff is at the door, IL his
work drives, if the undertaken inter-
-upts; and he is right. A woman Will
chose icecream instead of beefsteak, and
man will not. says the Buffalo Times.
Another of her mistakes is in not
knowing when to rest. If she Is tired,
she may sit down, but she will darn
stockings, crochet shawls, embrolder
doilies. Does she not know that hard
work tires? If she is exhausted, she Will
write letters or figure her accounts. She
will laugh at you if you limited that read
ing or writing could fail to rest her. All
over the country women's hospitals
flourish because women do not know
how to rest.
Another mistake on the list is their
constant worrying. Worry and hurry
are their enemies. and yet they hug them
to their bosoms Women cross bridges
before they come to them, and even build
bridges to cross. They imagine misfor-
tune and run out to meet it.
Women are not jolly enough. They
make too serious business of life, and
laugh at its little humors too seldom
Men can stop in the midst OF perplexities
and have hearty laugh, and 1T keeps
them young. Women cannot, and that IL
one reason why they fade so early
there are other reasons, but we will pass
them now. Worry not only wrinkles the
face, but it wrinkles and withers the
mind Have a hearty laugh once in 9
while; it is good antiseptic, and viii
purify the mental atmosphere, drive
away evil imaginings, bad temper and
other ills.

lie Repentance
Of Melissa . o
By SUSAN HUBBARD MARTIN

A HE came IN heavily, the sitting
~ room seemed very attractive TO
Nathan Gray's tired eyes. The lamp
gave out a clear. strong light. There
was a big dish of apples and grapes on
the little round table, and q fire had
been lighted in the bright polished
stove His wife sat in her favorite
rocking-chair, sewing. Melissa was
busy with her arithmetic.
Mr.. Gray had had hard day. There
had been light fall of snow during
the night, and some cattle had broken
out through the fence in search OF bet
ter fields. He had ri0den for them
all day, had found them at last, and
driven them safely home.
Everything was now snug for the
night, and the farmer, after his long
ride, could enjoy his evening with a
clear conscience. How pleasant 1t all
was, with mother sitting there, and
Melissa-ah, Melissa. His eyes soft
ened at the sight of her.
Melissa was Is, and the only child
She had golden hair, sweet, dimpled
chin, q dear little nose, with few
freckles on it, and keen blue eyes that
saw everything that went wrong. Some
people said that Melissa would make q
hard mistress when she grew up. Even
now she ruled her mother good deal
and argued with her father, and criti
cised him much more than was be.
coming.
But because she was their only
child, both parents submitted patiently
to the remarks and suggestions of hel
sharp little tongue.
