CHORAL CLUB
SINKING FUND

Already outside of this musical or
ganization very noticeable, yet
quiet agitation is being in evidence
as TO sinking fund for a choral
building. No longer can the society
hope TO restrain its membership to
meet in the different homes because
OF its recent increase OF musical ma
teriai There is scarceiy 4 house m
Denver that is arranged SO as to ad-
yantageously accommodate the club.
Hence the members have begun TO
make their wants known TO the
friends who in turn are beginning to
discuss the pro and con of the project
That the building is a necessity there
is no question and that the edifce
will be built is equally evident. but
the perplexity arises as to just what
methods, means or devices can the
club and its friends put forth that
will accelerate the movement. Which
are the better, which are the surest
and which are actions in which all of
Denver can assist and play a part?
AS you know, the Choral Society in
the musical world speaks for the ne
gro as does the Alliance speak in the
political. social and economic world.
And the people of Denver have
enough loyalty, interest and patriot.
ism Of race pride not to let an ins,i.
tuition like this society fail for the
want of proper support. The club is
only trying to make and develop a
conservatory Of music not so much
for the present boys and girls as will
later benefit the babies now in the
cradle and in their mothers arms.
Somebody must look, plan, scheme
musically now, for after while. be-
cause ten years from now will be the
after while. The Choral Society has
taken this burden in way upon their
shoulders. They intend to bring musi.

RENO'S HEALTH rs GOOD,
SAYS THE OFFICIAL REPORT

RENO, April 11.-After all the
talk about an epidemic of spinal men
nights in Reno the report of DR.. Rob
inson of the board of health does not
support the presumption. Only eight
victims of the disease are recorded
out of a total of fifty deaths, while
twenty-one are attributed to pneu-
monia. Alcoholism gets the credit
for one, auto-intoxication one and the
other nineteen are from general
causes.
Auto-intoxication does not mean the
kind of exhilaration resulting from
motoring. The health officials explain
that it is a disease conducted by sug-
g~estion; that one is intoxicated when
one is sober-or should be. cath from
this cause is unusual in the history Of
the local department of health, but
the record mention is brief, being linn
tied to three words.
The population of Reno is estimated
by DIR. Robinson to be $4,000. The an
nual death rate is computed at 81 and
GA a thousand. Eighteen of the peo-
pie who passed away in this city in
March were residents, while thirty-two
were non residents.

PACKS A FORTUNE ABOUT
IN A FLOUR SACK

A man carrying a -four sack over
his shoulder and resscd in a rough
style entered a Pullman car on the
Overland limited at Woolsey, east of
Lovelock. early last week, and throw
ing the sack into a seat, sat down be
side it. The other passengers in the
car thought the sack was filed with
four OF sugar and paid no attention
until the fellow. who gave the name of
Kelsey, started to go to the smoking
him. In some way the sack had be
come torn and through the small rent
the passengers were astonished to see
2 stream of gold dustfall to the floor.
Kelsey noticed it. and scooping up all
the yellow dust he could, placed it in
the sack and tied a knot where the
hole had heen.
Kelsey stated that he was e%nroute to
San Francisco. but when questioned
about the gold dust refused to talk to
any extent. IT is thought hat he Sc
cured the gold from a claim in the
Humboldt range near Woolsey, and
several people have left Woolsey ia
look for it. A passenger on the
train stated that Kelsey was formerly
from Goldfeld and that he was
known in hat city as a Cluster
fellow, like "Scotty." acted in a
mysterious manner, and when asked
where his mine was. would say:
"Wel1. I've got the dust all right
He stated to one of the passengers
that he had discovered ofe~ richest
mine in Nevada, but he intended ia
keep its location a secret.

resubmission of the case of A. w. Nc
Cune ct al VS.. John X. Cook and 9TH
ers, which involves mining property

Moon Shadows.

Many persons cannot understand why
the shadow made by an object in moon
light is darker than the shadow made
tn sunlight. The difference is due to
the fact that the light of the moon is
not so stron as that Of the sun. AS
light travels always in a straight line.
q shadow either in moonlight or in sun
light would be intensely black were it
not for the dispersed and reflected
rays around the shadow. The dark
ness Of the shadow is reduced by these
reflected rays, and as the rays Of sun
light are stronger and brighter than
those Of moonlight they reduce the
darkness more. 1t is the dispersion
and even distribution Of the suns rays
through space and their reflection from
the dust particles of the air that make
daylight.
