NOT A REFORM WAVE.

A contemporary says that spasms
of reform rarely result in permanent
good The News agrees and heartily,
with this editorial truism. The con-
temporary applies the remark local
ly. 1t is well that it should have
been applied to this camp and certain
conditions that exist here at this
time
The News pleads for a more gen.
eral awakening of public sentiment
and public morality, and asks that
the clean minded citizens of the COM
munity uphold the arms of the Off
GERS of the law in their efforts to
rid the camp of an undesirable ele-
ment, whose tolerance here is dis
grace to decent citizenship.
1t is not a spasmodic wave of re-

of public sentiment that should be
SO strong that the macquereaux could
not find safe foothold in the COM

Public safety demands the exile of

recent deplorable tragedy which
robbed the city of good citizen and

of this paper.

GOLFERS AND NEVADA.

The foolish writer's" of Golfers
Weekly, which should properly be
termed Golfers Weakly have
taken a nasty fling at Nevada, in their
efforts to shape world policies and to
dominate the political complexion of
the entire country.
In its latest spasm this paper,
which at one time was a genuine
power in national affairs, and which
was noted for its evident fairness to
all persons. conditions or policies, but
is no longer considered so, this paper
suggests in all seriousness that Ne
vada be bisected and that one-half
be given to Utah and the other half
to California.
The article, which was reprinted in
The News yesterday morning, de-
clares that Nevada is on the tobog-
gan, that its people are not able to
support the state government. This
article calls attention to the rise and
decline of Virginia City and Gold
Hill, and while admitting that cher
new mining camps are helping her
Just now adds as if in apology
for even saying this little good word,
that lin time they will go the way
of Virginia City and Gold HILL
Perhaps it is ignorance of actual
conditions in this state that prompted
the magazine to take up the cudgels
in behalf of the destruction of this
state. Let us hope that such is the
case for then there would be hope
for the writer, and for the editor
who could allow such balderdash to
work it's way into the columns with
editorial sanction.
If ignorance were the excuse for
the article, it might be a good thing
for the public spirited citizens of this
state to take up little collection and
send the money to the writer and in
for himself whether there is suffi-
cient money here to make the state
self-supporting. Perhaps he might
right to a place ON the map if he
were to see the miles and miles of
underground workings of the mines
now being operated; if he were to
see the millions of tons of ores block
ed out in the mines of this district
alone, ready for the smelters; if he
were to see the ingots and bars of
gold that are produced in the mines
of the southern part of the state; if
ne were to see the work that is being
carried on by capital from his own
section of the country which is being
invested at the rate of millions of
dollars every year.
If the writer of the article re-
ferred to is ignorant of the facts, he
should be advised that the increase
of population of this state during the
last two years is of a higher per-
centage as compared with the pop
ulation prior to that time, than in
any other state in the union, not even
excepting the Empire state
1t might be fair to ask Golfers
Weekly, though the question might
be embarrassing, if it was not the
legislation railroaded through the
senate and house of representatives
in 1873 by eastern representatives in
that body, which demoralized the en-

THE TRUE GENTLEWOMAN.

1t is the easiest thing in the world
to be exclusive; people can shun
their friends, acquaintance, and all
amusements, and shut themselves
out from the world and the joy of
life. But those who adopt such a
policy are really very shallow and
narrow-minded. Those who take up
an attitude of being too superior to
associate with any girl who is not
their equal in birth or station, have
miserly minds and will become sc
wrapped up their own vainglory and
self conceit that in time their fellow
creatures will shun them like the
plague.
Broad, open minds will see the fol.
ly of standing aloof from their fel.

generous persons will find it impos
sible to ridicule, scorn, and avoid

ously placed as themselves. Only

The humble structure was the abode

The fact that the cottage was once

DoN'TS FOR THE HAIR.
Proper Care Of Tresses That Will Be
Well Repaid.

Don't forget to have the hair thor
oughly cut and singed every three
months 1t is not sufficient to have
the long hair clipped, But special at
tention should be paid to the weak
new hairs that spring up along the
central partings.
Don't forget to brush the hair for
ten minutes every night with whale
bone bristle brush. This may make
the head a little slender at first, but
the tenderness soon wears off
Don't wear pads or additional tails
of hair and curls. unless absolutely
necessary Anything that prevents
light and air getting to the roots of
the hair is extremely bad.
Don't attempt to restore gray or
faded hair yourself. 1t is best to
leave il entirely alone If dyeing is
desirable, have it done by skilled
hands.
Don't have the combings OF five
or six years ago made up, as hair
changes so in color and texture that
the tail is sure not TO match. Rather
buy a new switch to supplement ma
ture's scanty locks, says Home Chat.
Don't use cheap hairpins or combs.
They are so liable to drag and break
the hair.

THE REoRGANlzED NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

The new Board II Trustees of the
New York Life Tasu 'ance Company.
chosen by the policyholderS under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge Of
the company's affairs and has begun
the wc'k Of reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers cs
the company. the Board has adhered
to the idea that a life insurance com
pany should be managed by life in
surance mea. The new president is
Darwin P Kingsley. a college bred
man of good New England stock, who
has been ia the company's service in a
variety of capacities for a period Of
nearly twenty years. In the parlauce
of l!se insurance. he began with the
rate book and has advanced step by
step up to his present position.
The first vice president of the com
pany is Thomas A. Buckner, who has
served the company for more than a
quarter Of century,-indeed has
never had any other business counec-
ton.
Associated with these men are
others long trained in the company's
service, each an expert In his own de-
partment of work. VIM. f.. Tngersoll.
who has for many years had charge
of the company's great business in
Europe, is one of the second vice pres
idents, and will continue at the head
OF the company's Office In Paris.
Rufus w. Weeks. who has been in
the company's service for nearly forty
years. ranks next to Mr.. BuclSner az
vice president, and continuous as chief
actuary of the company.
The policyholders have expressed
their belief ia this company in no un.
certain terms. The upheaval in life In
surance within the last two years has
resulted in a great deal of misunder-
standing and policyholders. alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them. have been disposed to give up
their contracts at a heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true In the New York
Life to any great extent. The com
pany had s2.00O.O00,OO0 insurance on
its books when the life Insurance. in
vestigatton began. and while the laws
of the State OF New York nSw do not
permit any company TO write over
$3.50 100000 a year (Which Is about
one-half the New York Life formerly
did, the company's outstanding bust
ness still exceeds $4,000. .00O.0 900.
Policyholders generally will be still
further reassured by this action of the
Board, as 1t places at the head of the
company to protect their interests men
