BoMAPARTE's APPOINTMENT.

Paul Morton, late of the Santa Fe
Railroad, as an officer of which he
made illegal contracts for freight re-
bates, and confessed that he knew he
was violating the law, quit President
Roosevelt's Cabinet July !, to become
autocrat of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society, the controlling interest in
which was purchased by Thomas f.

of the New York street surface railway
companies, and financier extraordinary.

GOVERNMENT LIFE INSURANCE

The operation OF q Commission by the
New York Legislature. TO investigate
life insurance business in that State, is
gratifying to millions of policy holders
scattered through the Nation. New
York City is the center of the insur-
ance business, and three or four great
companies there have each thousands Of
patrons in every State Of the Union.
The exposure of grating in relation
to the Equitable has naturally excited
much suspicion that other companies
may likewise be preyed upon. and moth
ing but n full and searching investiga-
ton will restore public confidence. The
State inquiry should result in reforms
and restrictions that would give new
impetus to the business. but in the long
run life insurance must be undertaken
by the National Government. if the
people are to have its utmost benefit
and security, with the lowest possible
cost.-Sacramento Bee.

PREDICTIONS FOR THIS YEAR.
Hoboken AstrOloger FOresees Many
Horrors for the Next Few Months.

Prof. Gustave Meyer, the astrologer
of Hoboken, N. j., is predicting all sorts
of dire things at home aud abroad,
from hot weather and earthquakes to
an accident to President Roosevelt.
He says we will have Summer this
year way into November and that the
month of August will prove to be one
of the hottest months on record aud as
a result the mortality will be unusually
large aud remarkable distinctions by
fatal electric storms and atmospheric
disturbances will be much in evidence
aud will cause great loss of life and
property throughout the East and the
West in particular.
He says Russia will continue in war
fare until the new year when it will be
transformed into a republic. That dur
ing October great earthquakes in Japan
will swallow up hundreds of Japanese.
Earthquakes will also affect New York
and Brooklyn bridge aud the subway
will be in danger. We shall hear OF
the fall of a public building, he pre-
diets, and names Oct. s as likely to be
a day of calamities. On that date he
fears the life of President Roosevelt
will be ~injeopardy from an accident.

Are Nevada's Orphans 10 Be Again Grated?

The Carson City News and the APP
peal printed a few days ago a COM
m~unication from IAN Old Orphan"
which tried to make an impression on
the public that the last Legislature did
not appropriate enough money to fur
nish the new Orphans Home at Carson
City.
The way some of the State business is
being done deserves a public protest.
The SENTINEL believes there is a clean
line of cleavage between the acts of
the Legislators and what should be the
duties of the State Boards and officials,
but it is becoming the fashion for the
latter to disregard that distinction.
To illustrate, and make the point
clear. A few weeks g Attorney Gen.
eral Sweeney was obliged to nip in the
bud the little per cent game Controller
Davis was willing to give the Sheriffs
for collecting State liquor licenses.
which the new law did not provide for.
Next came a majority of the State Capt.
toll Commissioners voting for Davis
motion for an outside site for the State
Library building. That Board knows.
as does the author of bill and the entire
Carson delegation. that the measure
would never have come to a vote in the
Legislature but for the unwritten
understanding that the new building
would be erected on the Capitol square,
hence the appropriation of $1,000
sum sufficient for this building, which
is a public necessity. Nov comes the
furnishing of the Orphans Home. and
the howl hat the fund is inadequate
and that the Legislature tied the
Boards hands by specifying how the
money should be spent.
Wanted Appropriation in Lump Sum
The SENTINEL referred the newspaper
articles, communications and press dis
patches SEM out from Carson City this
week relative to the matter to a member
of the special committee on Orphans
Home equipment and furnishing.
After reading them. he pronounced il
another game to rob the orphans
1t was learned that Superintendent Joe
Josephs accompanied the committee
from room to room and assented tc
every classification made as ample and
sufficient, and his only objection was
made after he learned that the special
committees classified report was
adopted by the whole committee, and in
that form reported to and passed by the
Legislature. 1t was simply a case Of
some of the members, who knew a thing
or two. insisting ON the appropriation
being specified, instead of giving g
lump sum for a "hogging" proposition,

In addition provisions are made for
specified improvements and repairs
bringing the total up to $1,000. This
has nothing to do with the regular ap-
preparation for maintaining the Home.
Good Deal Depends on the Buyers.
The lowest amount set aside for the
furniture-mark the word furniture, not
furnishings-for a single room is $50,
aud nowadays $50 will buy a good
substantial set of bedroom furni ure.
Provisions are made for the furnish
ings. such as mattresses. bed clothes,

GAME LOST
IN THE SEVENTH
Clark Pitched one of the Best
Games Of the Season.

Vinita hit Adams freely in the first
inning yesterday and earned three
runs. That should have won the
game FOR Vinita but for two untime-
ly errors in the seventh inning which
gave Parsons fourscores and the game.
A combination Of lucky hits and an
error at second gave tile visitors the
other two scores credited to them in
the same inning.
Clark piched his first game on
the local grounds and his work was
great Ten Of the visitors failed ut
terly to connect with his "foolers'
and six were able to get safeties, three
being infielded hits that should have
been heided.
With the exception Of the seventh
inning, yesterdays game was one Of
the prettiest exhibitions Of the Ma
tional game seen here this season.

throw from left field to the plate,
