CHOLERA CAUSES.
TROUBLE IN NAVY
ADMIRAL SPERRY WILL NOT
COUNT OF DISEASE AT MANILA
Especial to the World. J

Manila, New 23.-Rear-dmiral
Sperry, in a letter to Governor-Gen-
eral Smith, has decided not to grant
the men of the Atlantic battleship
fleet leave of absence during the stay
of the ships in Manila Bay. The de-
cision was based on the advice of
the medical officers of the feet, as
well as upon his own convictions.
The action is the result of the recent
outbreak of cholera, and to the fact
that many cases are reported dead or
moribund No cases have been re-
ported to the health department for
some time.
The position of Admiral Sperry is
bitterly resented here and Governor
Smith has communicated the entire
matter to Washington, and it is ex-
pected that President Roosevelt will
pass finally upon the matter.

THE RUSSIAN ICON.
1t Is Simply q Religious Picture

1t Is Simply q Religious Picture
Blessed by a Priest.
An icon is simply religious picture,
generally Of little artistic merit, and
the subject usually represented is Ell
Their Russian saint, some event in the
life Of Jesus Christ or the Virgin Mary.
In the Greek church, as in other Chris
tan churches, the worship of craven
images is forbidden, but no objection
Is made to anything reproduced on a
fat surface. Therefore icons are per-
mitted in the form of mosaics, paint
ings, enamels or prints. They play an
important part in the religious life of
the Russians and are to be met with
everywhere-in churches, public offices,
private houses and shops. A picture
to become an icon must be blessed by
a priest, and it is then regarded not on
~ as an ornament, but as an accessory
in the worship of the Greek church.
Icons are also worn on the person,
when they take the form of a plaque
or book with two leaves. Almost ev-
cry soldier wears one on his bosom,
and when he prays he takes out his
icon and. opening 1t, kneels down be-
fore it as if it were a portable altar.
Every regiment has its own icon,
which it carries as it would carry its
banner when the regiment goes into
battle

THE ENCORE.

IL originated In france In the seven
teenth Century.
The beginning of the encore dates
back to some time between 1645 and
100, probably about 1880, when LOUIS
XIV. demanded the repetition of GER
tain parts of an opera. The opera was
by Corneille, Fontenelle and Boileau.
which was sung before his majesty,
and the king was so pleased with GER
tain parts that he asked to have them
repeated. 1t took fully century for
the ordinary opera goers to obtain the
kings prerogative for themselves. 1t
came about in this way: Gluck had
produced an opera which had been a
failure; but, having rewritten the
worst parts, he produced it again. One
or two songs were accepted by the au-
dience with applause, and one in par
ticular was demanded a second time.
The most remarkable encores on rec
ord are those which were insisted upon
by the late king of Bavaria. Before he
was known to be insane, when merely
thought eccentric, he had plays per.
formed before him as the sole auditor
the curtain rising at midnight. If he
liked the play he insisted on having it
repeated at once. But, unlike most en-
core fiends, he paid literally for them.
Though our word encore is adopt
ed from the French, they themselves
do not make use of it in this connec-
ton. They call BIS, bis" and obtain
repetition.-New York Herald.

VOTING MACHINES
PROVE POPULAR
Henry County May Purchase
Ten.

New Castle, Ind. Dec. 1-Such gen.
eral satisfaction was given by the sew
en- voting machines used in this coun-
ty at the last election, that at special
meeting OF the county council, the
commissioners will ask an appropria-
ton to defray the purchase of ten ma
chimes. No trouble was encountered
with the operation of the machines.
In Henry township the amount saved
by reason of lack of need for so many
clerks, was sufficient to pay the rental
for the machines. The voting was
done quicker and there were practic-
ally no complaints. One minute was
allowed each voter The rental price
of the machines can be applied TO the
purchase price.

Anglo-Saxon Laws.
According to Anglo-Saxon laws, ev.

any one who took it could commute the

fixed scale. The life Of a peasant was
reckoned to be worth 200 shillings, that

and the killing of a king involved the
regicide in payment of 1900 shil-

SILVER WEDDING
BELLS RANG OUT
TWENTY FIFTH ANNIVERSARY
OF MARRIAGE OF 0'CON-
NELS CELEBRATED.

The silver wedding of Mr.. and
Mrs Tim O'Connell was celebrated
on Friday night, and in addition to
the happy event was the arrival of
Mrs O'Connell's brother, j. H. Bar
rett, who, with his bride, is on tour
from Calais, Maine.
The O'Connells are among the pio-
neer families of Nevada, and most of
their lives have been spent in the
sagebrush country. A pleasing incl
dent of the anniversary of the we'd
ding of twenty-five years ago, was
the fact that the table on which the
repast was spread was the identical
piece of oak which did service for
the wedding feast, when Mrs -O'Con-
nell was made bride The five chill
dren of the happy union were at the
board, Ebert, John, Lawrence, Eu-
gene and Thomas, and their daugh-
ter. Marie
The evening was spent in cards,
music and feasting, and it was a
most jolly anniversary, and the gath
ering broke up all too soon.

under SPELL
OF UBEHEBE
HOXIE OF MACNAMARA MINE
SAYS 1T Is A WONDERFUL
COUNTRY.

B. |. Hoxie, foreman of the Mac
namara mine, is another man who
has fallen under the spell of Ubehebe.
Mr.. Hoxie, in company with Fred
Griffiths, and chauffeured by Valen-
tine Hush, left here on Thursday
night, and returned from the copper
deposits yesterday afternoon.
1T is great country said Mr.
HoXie, yesterday, "a wonderful coun-
try. | had been long trying to get
there, having heard so much about
it, and | was surprised at the show
ing. / did not see as much of the
property as | should have liked, but
l saw enough to satisfy myself that
they were surely making a great
property of it. l went over three or
four claims where they are working.
The work comprises chiefly tunnel
ing, but there has also been some
shafts sunk. There is one shaft down
eighty feet, and they are tunneling
into the hill far below that to catch
the vein at depth of 1873 feet.
The depth and size of the ore
bodies leave no doubt as to them
being permanent, and the practical
man is at once struck with the econ
omical manner in which they are
working the mine. They can take
out the ore at SO little cost, that it
would pay them to work a very low
grade ore, but l must confess that
saw nothing but high grade. At
the present time there are three sep
arate veins being developed, and
there is ore in all of them.
THE property could not be better
located for the economic working Of
it. There is wide range of hills,
perhaps mile wide, and there are
several veins outcropping, and they
are prosecuting the hill to tap these
veins. This will make the cheapest
working ever tried in mine. Ube-
hebe is an ideal copper proposition
from all view points. Nearly all of
it being a high percentage makes it
look good, and being of high grade
on the surface, is splendid indica-
ton of what is to be found at the
depths. 1t will be richer, for that is
the history of copper. What / found
there far exceeded my expectations
was genuinely surprised. Even the
townsite is ideal, and when the rail-
road is completed into Ubehebe, il
will be trip well worth taking"
