GOVERNOR SPARKS SAID TO
BE NEAR DEATHS DOOR

A dispatch from Reno states that
John Sparks, governor of Nevada, is
nearing death.
Paralysis has set in as the result Of
a complication of ailments and the gov.
ernor is now unable to move any por.
ton of his body except his hands.
The strain and worry of the labor
troubles in Goldfield, in the settlement
of which he took an active part, Slapped
his strength and weakened his energies.
For a month Governor Sparks has
been a very sick man. He was taken
to California and placed under the care
of the very best specialists, but his
condition did not improve and he was
brought back to Nevada on a stretcher.
Governor Sparks is now at his home
ranch, the Alamo, near Reno. In the
meantime Lieutenant Governor D.. s.
Dickerson is directing the affairs of
state.

THE EMBODIMENT OF GOLDFIELD

~ HE IMPORTANCE of the discovery on Laguna ground as narrated else
where in this isue of The News cannot b overeNimated. It is the most
significant development OF many months, as it extends the known pro-
ducng area almost into Columbia mountain and again brings to the at
tention Of the mining public the possibilities If that mysterious uphft.
Coupled with this is another discovery of a week-that of a new and rich
ore body on the Daisy, in the farout Diamondfeld district, which only goes to
verify III prediction and confirm the faith If those who have long maintained
that Great Bend hill is n of the richest treasure vaults in The entire district
These two discoveries will doubtless lead to more active mining in their
general neighborhood, and more active mining in the Goldfeld district always
means morei important discoveries. H
Slowly but surely the greatness Of the Gcdfed district is unfolding and he
would b venturesome indeed who would put a limit % its possibilities.

TWO MORE SCHOOL HOUSES
NEEDED FOE DISTRICT

The Goldfeld school board has .unan-
imously decided to present to the voters
of the district a proposition to issue
bonds in the snm of $4,000, to be used
in the construction of two additional
school houses. as those now in use arc
insufficient to accommodate the rapidly
increasing number of pupils.
Arrangements have been made with
Nonneen & Co., of Chicago, who pur-
chased the late bonds at par and six
per cent interest, to take this issue also
at the same terms. The bond election
win take place May 25th.

~ HE PROBABLY fatal affection that has befalen Governor John Sparks
is very sad and regettable. He has beer a sufferer many years from
neuralgia pains in the forehead and temples and what he has endured no
ont "a tell save in the terrible results that have finally made him a.
hopeless paralyuc, probably, and brought his life CT usefulness to ar end. We
his life may be prolonged and that his suffering may be tempered should
this prove his fatal illness The death IF Governor Sparks would b a blow to
ths state.
The people Of the oohfed district have reason 20 entertain especially kind
and sympathetic feeling for Governor Sparks He certainly gave nj every
assistance during or local labor troubles and it was largely his anxiety over the
tuation here and the rest OF the state. that brought OF this last illness. He
al far from . weu man when the special session was called, and the extra work
aud anxiety incident to that session brought about his collapse. It was chiefly
his support given to the Nevada Police measure. that caused its enactmen into
law during that session This measure has encountered some opposition as might
naturally have been expected. but eventually it will come to be regarded, with
some possible notifications as the crowning work Of Governor Sparks long ad
mintsxauon

for Ed Hogan and Mrs. Maude Brinck,
who promoted the minstrels.

If American occupation did nothing
more for Cuba than to keep it clean
and wholesome great service to the
world would be done. Health Officer
Darlington of New York city, who has
just returned from a visit to the
island, speaks of the locality as para.
disc, not merely as to physical beauty,
'but also in the cleanliness of the
whole" He adds: II could not say too
much in praise of the sanitary ar.
rangements in Havana, in Cienfuegos
and other places 1 visited. 1t was the
same everywhere, the acme of precau.
ton against disease" When one re.
members that Cuba was formerly a
plague spot, from which spread the
most deadly diseases, the debt due to
the United States and the American
army officers who have wrought this
miracle appears in something like the
proper relief.

One of the great branches of Man
churian trade is in furs, Mukden be-
ing one of the three principal Chinese
centers of this business; the other
two are Tientsin and Shanghai. The
finest tiger skins in the world come
from Manchuria, being much larger
than those of the Indian and southern
Chinese beasts, and with deeper and
thicker fur. Leopard skins are also
unusually large and heavily furred.
Manchurian silver fox skins compare
favorably with the best Canadian
pelts, and the best Russian sables are
no better than those of Manchuria 1t
is from that country, too, that most Of
the dogskin coats worn by the auto
mobilists come; there are number of
big dog farms in the province. North
ern China buys a great part of the
Manchurian fur supply. The winters
are cold, and Chinese houses are not
heated to the temperature to which
Europeans and Americans are accus-
toned; so that fur-lined garments are
worn indoors and out. Coolies wear
sheep or goat skins, and people of the
wealthy and middle classes have
many sets of garments lined with the
richest furs.

Ar Appreciation of Affection,

Most men appreciate affection, and
are disappointed when they fail to
find it demonstrated in their wives
They appreciate it in equal degree
with the wife who likes to be assured
that her husbands every thought Is
for her happiness. A man is not only
called upon to sacrifice many of his
bachelor enjoyments when he be-
comes engaged, but when he is mar
ried he has still other trifles to fore
go, says the New York Weekly. 1t
is for the pleasure and joy of having a
wife and home of his own that ne is
more than proud of his partnership.
Everything works so smoothly that he
is happy, very happy; and still there
comes to him special thrill of sweet
ness when his wife puts her arm
around his neck and whispers in his
ear that she loves him-loves him
very much. No girl could await the
alteration of her lover with greater
joy than man does the tenderness
showered upon him by loving wife
But just as some men grow lax in
their attentions to their young wives
so do too many young wives forget
to keep ever burning the furnace 81
their loves upon the domestic rearth.

To find new names for old colors
must tax the ingenuity of weavers and
dyers, yet the demand for novelties
never fails to be met. This year blue

are IA names for mauve, nine for
pink, four for deep red and scarlet,
and 16 for green. Facing such an ar.

One who merely skins the news of

One who merely skins the news OF
the day can hardly help being i'm
pressed by the frequency of accidents
due to the clothing of women and chill
dren catching fire from kitchen ranges
or oil stoves. In a large proportion Of
such cases, the accident results fatal
ly. Not only does such an accident
seldom happen to men or boys, but it
rarely happened to women in old
times, even when cooking was done
by open fires. The reason is the sup
planting of WOODEN clothing by cotton
and linen. 1t is not to be expected, Of
course, that there will be reversion
to the older custom in this respect, but
it would be perfectly feasible thing
for women to provide themselves and
their children, if they are to be about
the fire, with some sort of fire.
PROCEED apron or outer wrapper, cas-
lily put on or off. The leaving of
small children alone in rooms with un-
guarded fires is another matter. So
many deaths of young children have
resulted from this cause in England
that a bill fixing penalties for it has
been introduced in the house of COM
mons.

Value Of psychIcaI Research.


Why should not psychical investi.
cation lead to practical results, asks
Sir Oliver Lodge, F. R. S., in the
World To-Day. Are we satisfied with
the preaching Of chaplains. That is
as civilized people content to grow
perennial class of habitual criminals,
and to keep them in check only by de-
vices appropriate to savages; hunting
them, f1ogging them, locking them up,
DISCRIMINATING them? 1t is unwise and
unscientific to leave prisoners merely
to the discipline of wardens and to
the preaching of chaplains. That IS
not the way to attack a disease of the
body polite. l have no full-blown
treatment to suggest, but l foresee
that there will be one in the future.
Society will not be content always TO
pursue these methods of barbarism;
the resources of civilization are not
really exhausted, though for cen
turtles they have appeared to be. The
criminal demands careful study on the
psychical side, and remedy or pallia-
ton will be a direct outcome of one
aspect of our researches. The infiu-
ence of the unconscious or subliminal
self, the power of suggestion, the in
fluence of one mind over another, the
phenomena of so-called possession, >
these are not academic or scientific
facts alone; they have deep practi-
cal bearing, and sooner or later it
must be put to the proof.
