HANDWRITING NO cLEW TO SEX.
Temperament Is Not Betrayed by the
Written Word

1t Is curious fact that one of the
only things which even an expert
graphologist does not guarantee to
discover in handwriting is the sex of
the writer. We are accustomed to
think that the feminine or masculine
temperament will readily betray it.
self in the written word, but in the
majority of cases such is not the case
Writing bold, black and firm, most
masculine appearing in every way,
will frequently be found to emanate
from the pen of a woman, while deli

nation Is discovered to belong to a
writer of the opposite sex.
An interesting little experiment
proving this theory can be made in
this way. Take twelve or twenty en-
velopes written in chirographies you
are sure of, and number each scrap
clearly. Pass them around and see
how many of your friends will cor
rectly guess the sex of the different
writer's, which may be written down
and numbered like the envelopes. 1t

third of the guesses, at most, are cor

SUPERB GENEROSITY OF AMER
ICANS.

The way the American nation has
responded to the call of San Francisco
for help is something superb. Nothing
quite so illustrative of the generosity
real sympathy for those in distress
and the big heartedness of the Amer
lean people has ever been seen be-
fore. The cash contributions for the
relief of those who are suffering ex-
coed $20,000,000, besides which food
and clothing to an equal amount have
been donated and all this came spon-
taneously and so quickly and unset
fishly that it inspires a thrill of ad-
miration and goes long way to oblit-
crate the feelings which at times en-
gendered by the petty meannesses
are noticed by all of us in our every
day matter of fact lives.
1t is something for Utahans to be
proud of that the first money sent was
from this state, and the first car loads
of food were also from Utah and that
before even an intimation from the
stricken that help was needed, came
Here's how G. M. Jackson expresses
his feelings and they are similar to
those of most of us:
There isn't another country on earth
that can do as the United States OF
America has done in the matter of re-
lief for the suffering. The dispatches
of yesterday stated that up to noon
yesterday the cash contributions for
the relief of the suffering in San
Francisco had passed the fifteen mil
lion dollar mark. and the total expect.
ed was twenty millions
Remember this is exclusive of sup
plies. transportation and other relief
afforded. 1t is safe to say that aggre-
gated, the total relief of all kinds sen
to the people of the coast will amount
to fifty millions of dollars. When you
stop to think of it, that is a tremend-
GUS sum. 1t represents the first ap-
preparation made by congress to carry
on the war with Spain 1t means two
hundred and fifty dollars for each
homeless person in the unfortunate
city. 1t means donation of sixty
two and one-half cents per capita for
every man, woman and child in the
country, and is a showing of which we
may well be proud.
1.-THE response made to the appeals
loi diu has Deen Oh Sucn SpOntane-
GUS and unselfish character that the
American people are to be commended
and congratulated. 1t demonstrates
that as a whole we are really the salt
of the earth, and the man who reads
and does not appreciate the fact that
he is citizen of this country ought
to fog himself across the border and
expatriate himself. 1t also demon
strates mat at heart man is not so bad
as he is portrayed and that all that is
required is to touch him with the magic
rod and kindness flows forth like the

uludle Ill JHe DdCh. Al the same Time
he conferred upon Mr.. Bryan all the
honors and titles of regularity, and
praised his loyal devotion to Judge
Parker, as evinced by his many elo.
quent compaign speeches. Now, while
nobody can produce evidence of the
fact that would be accepted in court
of law, 1t is very generally believed
that multitudes of Mr.. Bryan's per-
sonal following, that class of voters
usually described as Bryan Democrats
went over to Mr.. Roosevelt in 1904.
Mr.. Nicoll says Mr.. Bryan could not
help that. Has it occurred to Mr.. Nj
coll that Mr.. Hearst may be equally
blameless for the disloyal behavior
of his followers, supposing him to
have had followers? Why not give
him the benefit of the doubt, just as
Mr.. Bryan gets the benefit of the
doubt in his case?"
The New York Journal, needless to
say, dilates upon Mr.. Nicoll's charac-
teristics and personal appearance; it
accuses him of being the hireling of
Belmont and Thomas f. Ryan. Even
its profound learning is brought to
bear against Mr. Hearst's enemies as
is shown by this erudite passage:
Really, Mr.. Ryan, to defeat such
talent as you hire is, in the Persian
poets words, like taking candy from
a sick child"
AS Mr.. Hearsts connection with the
Democratic party is seemingly at an
end, he is said to be making plans to
get himself nominated for governor
by young convention of his own on
July next. Says the New York
Sun Und.) upon this:
THE ticket is to be non-partisan
and cosmopolitan and inclusive of va
rious creeds. 1t will be well financed;
the hire will be worthy of the laborers.
1t Is an Ill wind that blows no man
good. There ought to be pickings in
that third-party movement-if it
should ever be started. But there is
an air of unreality about these Inde-
pendent-league plans. Hearst says
the personal representative, 'polled
225,0O0 votes in this city last fall, and
he is just as strong up the state as he
is here The personal representative
can not believe it, or the organizing
for victory would go on. The gas
seems to be leaking out of the Hearst
balloon
1t does look that way, remarks the
indianapolis News Qnd), "and yet is
1t not too soon to be making such
cheerful predictions? Hearst has a
considerable following throughout the
country" Nor does the Providence
Journal Qnd.) make light of him. He
is "vote-getter," says The Journal,
and adds:
Whatever may be thought of Mr..
Hearst personally, his political
strength can not be ignored. No doubt
victory would impair it, for his follow
ers would expect much more of him
than he could possibly accomplish.
But while he stands for the existing
social and political discontent-based
to some extent upon imaginary griev-
ances, 1t may be, but still not alto
gether without justification-he will
continue to have formidable support
Clearly, then, if the Democrats sue
coed in defeating him in the conven-
ton he may still be able to defeat
them at the polls. If he can not be
himself elected he will at least make
Republican success sure"

A VindiCation for DR.. Pierce.

A verdict has been rendered in
favor of the plaintiff in the suit
brought against the Ladies Home
Journal published by the Curtis
Publishing Coz by the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Association,
of which DR.. R. V. Pierce is Presi-
dent. The suit was brought by
Doctor Pierce against the Curtis
Publishing Co., for making false
statements about one of his stand
ard family medicines known as
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
In the May number of the Ladies
Home Journal (Ioo4), Mr.. Edward
Box, the editor, stated that DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription con-
taihed alcohol and some other
harmful ingredients, and DR..
Pierce had in the action alleged
that the defendant maliciously
published this article containing
such false and defamatory matter.
DR.. Pierce further claimed that no
alcohol is or ever was contained in
his Favorite Prescription, that said
medicine was vegetable prepara-
tion and contained no deleterious
ingredients whatever; that Mr..
Bok's statement, pretending to
give some of the ingredients of
said medicine, was wholly and alb
solutely false. During the trial,
the Vice-President of the Worlds S
Dispensary Medical Association
stated that the ingredients of DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription
were extracted from the following
native roots: Golden seal, blue
cohosh, lady's slipper, black CO.
hosh and unicorn, by means of
pure glycerine. He was asked
how he knew, as physician and
experienced medical man, that the
Favorite Prescription was cure
for the diseases peculiar to women,
such as amenorrhea, dysmenor-
rhea, ante-version, retroversion,

and he stated that he knew such
was the fact because of his pro-
fessional experience and the many
thousands of women whose ills
had been cured by this Prescrip-
ton. The Vice-President, being
asked to give his authorities, read
from the standard works, such as
the United States Dispensatory,
The American Dispensatory and
many other standard medical
books.
The retraction printed by the
Curtis Publishing Company two
months after the libelous state
ment appeared ard nearly two
months after the suit had been be-
gun, stated definitely that analyses
had been made at their request,
and that the Favorite Prescription
did not contain either alcohol,
opium or digitalis.

have forced Nevada consumers to
pay for the back haul"
The San Francisco merchants
have shut Nevada out from a COM
petitive market.
The San Francisco merchants,
like the San Francisco stock man
ipulators, have endeavored to
squeeze Nevada like a lemon.
Yes, what are San Francisco
merchants doing They are
watching their trade slip away,
while Los Angeles, Salt Lake and
far away Denver are reaping the
benefits that have come through
the building of the San Pedro
road.
Was the greed of the Southern
Pacific Company the sole cause
for its failure to give Nevada
terminal point and compel local
importers to pay freight from the
East to Sacramento and local
charges back to this State?
Not entirely. The merchants of
San Francisco went to Hunting
ton, to Hays and later to Harri-
man, and said:
1--WE want to hold Nevada in
our grasp. We want to charge
the people of sagebrushdom all
that the traffic will bear, and you
must be a party to our scheme.
You must charge prohibitive
rate on all supplies that they could
get from the East, SO that we can
enjoy a monopoly of the trade
with that State You must do this
or we will ship over the Northern
or Canadian Pacific and bring our
goods by water from the western
termini of these roads"
That is what the San Francisco
merchants have done Nevada
built the finest structures in San
Francisco out of the Comstock
mines, and later established and
supported many OF the mercantile
houses in the city that sucked the
lifeblood of the commonwealth.
The San Francisco merchants
are now getting their just deserts.
Business is stagnant, and it will
grow worse, especially after the
Western Pacific makes of Reno a
terminal point and ends the " back
haul charge, which has done
more than all other agencies COM
bined to hold Nevada back.
The San Francisco merchants
can already read the handwriting
on the wall.

the "great awakening of interest
in the mineral wealth and mining

place all over the country" 1t

tons and says strong rivalry has

of most of the cities to which the
new camps of Nevada are acces-
sible or being made accessible by
rail. What are the San Francis
co merchants doing Z" asks the
Chronicle. The Carson City News
takes up the query and nicely

County Boundaries.

Ex-senator VIM. M. Stewart is
of the opinion that Bullfrog should
be the center of new county, and
expresses himself rather forcibly
In an interview with the Bullfrog
Miner. He says, in part:
Developments in different parts
of Nye and Esmeralda counties
have created the necessity for a
change of county boundaries
County seats should be located
as near as practical in the center
of population, and also in territor-
ial centers.
THE county seat of Nye county
is on the county line. 1t is 200
miles to the southeast end of the
county and nearly as far to the
northeast corner. If the county
boundaries must remain unchang-
ed, the inhabitants of Nye county
outside of Tonopah will soon COM
mence a struggle for more cen
trail location for the county seat
which will unsettle business at
Tonopah.
Suppose Esmeralda county
were composed of that part of Nye
and Esmeralda which lies south of
the line between the second and
third range of townships south of
Mt. Diablo base, and the balance
of Esmeralda county were annex
ed to Nye. That would place To
nopah in the center of population
of Nye county.
Eventually, the north part of
what is now Esmeralda might be
joined to Lyon and portion of
the northeast part of Nye might
be joined to some other county or
counties, depending upon the de-
velopment of the county.
Esmeralda county might then
have a county seat at Bullfrog
which would be equal distance be-
tween the extremities northerly
and southerly. 1t is true the
county would be in the shape of a
triangle with the long side on the
California line, but that portion of
California lying east of Death Val
ley at least would trade with Bull
frog, although it would not pay
taxes in that county, "a
The two railroads approaching
Bullfrog from the south will make
it town of great importance, be-
cause there can be no doubt that
the Bullfrog mining district is the
most extensive, if not the most
important of any in the State.
This matter should be considered
by the people of Nye and Esmer-
aida counties with view of the
greatest good to the greatest num-
ber. Certainly no county is bene-
fitted by outlying provinces which
occasion enormous expense in
conducting civil and criminal busi-
ness"

terday afternoon placed under arrest
colored man named Munroe, whom he
charged with the crime of Illegal CO.
habitation with Dora. Munroe was in

placed under arrest. He was taken to

Dora appeared in court with her
counsel Messrs. Long and Noar. U. S.
District Attorney Breckons is prose
cutting. The case will be argued today
and given to the jury.
Sheriff Brown came into the case in
a novel manner. Statements were made
on the stand that just before Dora
married Puders she, in company with
several girls, went TO see Sheriff Brown
to ask him whether she could get mar
ried, her first husband having deserted
her and gone to Chicago. Max Puders
also stated that he went with Dora and
the girls to the police station. Dora
went inside and saw the Sheriff and
he remained outside. When he asked
her what the Sheriff had said, she re-
piled to him: ''He said it s all right
go ahead and get married -
When the Sheriff was put on the stand
he stated he hardly remembered any
talk with Dora at the station although
he might have had one. He couldn It
remember that particular part of the
conversation but he felt sure he would
not have given any such advice.
