he would make to come here for the
season.
The fame of Ely as a wealthy camp
had evidently reached the distant set

he had what is in vulgar colloquial-

wired to Manager Welshons as fol-

A council of the executive heads of
the club was then held, and it was de-
cided that this brilliant player would
not have ample room to shine in the
infant town. The following message
was accordingly wired to him last
night.

TALL HATS FOR sAvAcEs.
Striking Costumes Worn by semi-clv-
iIized Potentates on State Occasions.

The manner and occasion of wearing
the garments of civilization sometimes
chosen by savage chieftains and semi
civilized potentates have often proved
a source of mirth.
Perhaps the palm for unique COM
bination still belongs to that stat
uesQue Polynesian native who honored
state function by appearing in a
stovepipe hat, the rest of his costume
consisting of postage stamps, abun.
dainty and artistically applied in ele-
CANT patterns over his entire person.
Still other striking effects have been
attained.
Robert P. Skinner, who was sent
lately on a mission to Abyssinia, re-
lates that, having presented an Amer
lean flag to Alto Paulos, hospitable
official person, far removed from saw
agery, he received this gracious ac-
acknowledgement of the gift:
81 appreciate this more than any;
thing you could give me. 1t is the
proudest decoration l could possibly
own. | shall ask the emperor for the
right to accept it, as we cannot accept
anything of this sort without authori-
cation, and he will say yes Then I
shall wear it about my shoulders
every feast day."
The tall hats which the Americans
wore at the court of Menelik evoked
much admiration, says the Youth s
Companion, as indeed tall hats seem
always to do in lands unfamiliar with
their peculiar rigid dignity. One which
a previous traveller had bestowed upon
a provincial ruler of the country had
been, they learned, so highly appre-
ciated that it was at once sent to the
court jewele- and the brim encircled
with row of emeralds.
When, on breaking camp for the
last time, the party bestowed various
articles of attire on their faithful Abys-
sinian servants, they found that even
pink pajamas were less thankfully re-
ceived than old hats. Mr.. Skinner
gave his own hat to Alto Pito, chief
muleteer and general utility man.
"He knelt at once, before he could
be prevented" the embarrassed COM
missioner records, land kissed the
donor on both feet. Then he drew his
snowy white chamma about him,
placed one hand upon his long curved
sword and strobe forth, with the silk
hat on the back of his head, to resume
the prosaic occupation of railroad
track boss"

TELEPHONE COMMUNICATION
DESIRED BY BEACNHURSE

The residents and business men #
the Biackhorse district, including y
ccola and the other camps of that sec
ton. are eager to have telephone
line established between these camps
and Ely.
They say that mining and other
business operations are frequently Sc
riously retarded by the lack of means
of communication between the camps,
and they want to have the defect reme-
died in order that their work may not
be thus retarded
4 number of the larger Interests in

tire Willingness to subscribe literally
to the stock of such a project, provided
adequate and satisfactory service can
be given.
