A GREAT HONOR.

Mrs. Ceta Brophy Ryan, Virginia
City girl originally, has received an
honor never before given a woman in
the United States.
She has been invited to visited the
Mikada of Japan
1t came about in this way. Mrs.
Ryan for some years past has been Il
resident of San Francisco and has
taken such an interest in Japanese
that for some years she has taught a
ourishing flourishing japanese school.
She recently compiled a book in
tended for the use Of Japanese
students in the United States. 1t is
an English and Japanese LEXICON Of
the common phrases used in ordinary
travelling about Or purchasing goods
at stores. The book is divided off
with what phrases one would use n
9 grocery store. in g drug store Cr
meat market, etc.
If the student wants to order pair
Of shoes. a porterhouse steak, or a
oox of whiting paper he can consult
his dictionary and find the Japanese
and English phrases side by side.
This the only work of the kind n
the world and at first but 1900 copies
were printed selling at one dollar a
copy The demand was so great that
they soon sold for two dollars and
then three. They are now hard 10
get at $500. Another edition has
been ordered @ ter thousand but 1t
is now estimated tat the demand Is
so great that it will require another
edition
The Mikado of Japan has become &C
interested in the book that he has
ordered a million copies printed fO1
free distribution in his country to
citizens who are too poor to buy.
AS a rther recognition of a value
of her work he has extended Mrs
Ryan an invitation to visit has roya
palace in Japan next summer.
This is a very great mark OF dis
tinction and the Appeal doubts if any
other woman in the United States has
been son honored There are >sOciet!

Some one has been victimized some
where in the collection of funds for
the Orphans Home, as detailed IN
The Appeal Friday evening.
DR.. Hennessy and Rev. Samuel
Jones of Reno, according to report
from that place, are responsible for
the collection of the funds for a
Christmas celebration for the inmates
of the home.
these gentlemen placed the boxes and
the notices around the city of Reno
and left them there after Christmas
in order to take iarees collection

The puhica ion Of the methods Of

While it IS proper and right to give

SHEEP RA|SERS

Th following communication from a
Warrington correspondent has more
than ordinary significance to the
sheep men of this state, and was seat
to the Journal by James D. Finch, Jr,
who will, in all probability, be the
private secretary of one of Nevada's
senators next year. Finch is we'll
known in Reno where he has visited
several times. Following is his com
munication:
President Roosevelt placed himself
on record a few days ago before
party of Montana visitors as favoring
the homesteader against the en-
croachments of the sheep herder. Sen
ator Clark Of Montana escorted j. 5.

SHORTAGE IN PAY ROLL

The railroad employees between
Sparks and Denver are still complain
ing OF the shortage in their last pay
day. and maintain that it was not due
10 a clerical error but was 10 the fact
that the railroad officials anxious 10
make q good showing to their super
iors at the first of the year. deliber-
aJely held back the money so that an
excessive overtime drainage or the
company's resources would not ap-
pear in this years report.
The men affected by the shortage
are the enginemen men and the con
ductors and brakemen on the division.
and the total amount of the shortag ge
is estimated by them to be about
$4,000. They claim that the division
has been making very poor showing
for many months on account of the
great amount of overtime which has
been paid, due to the congested and
unsatisfactory condition of the divis-
ion. By Withholding all the pay Of
many Of the men and shaving every
ones wages for the month, the man
agement is able. say the men, to carry
over $4,000 excuses until another
year. to the great advantage Of ,he
showing of 1906.
Steps are contemplated by the men
. to compel the railroad to pay up a.
once. The shortage in salaries cam =
al most inopportune time. and maav
Christmas was the reverse of merry
because of the elicing of the wages.
