Invented the Name of Lillian
Russell

wonder how many of my readers
know that the late Antonio C'TonyD }
Pastor, the veteran actor, manager and
theatrical man in general, gave Lillian
Russell her name? Long ago-longer per-
haps than the fair Lillian would care
to have mentioned Tony Pastor dis
covered Louise Leonard for that is her
real name, and had her to sing for him.
His own account of it is rather inter-
esting and in part is to this effect:
THAT makes me think of Lillian Rus

little Nellie Leonard / can't think of

To Clean Brass

There are many good cleansers Tor
brass to be had and after the moisture
of the summer it is most necessary to
use some of them. First of all the brasses
should be given preliminary rubbing
with kerosene. If the brass Is furnished
or blackened these stains may be re-
moved by the use of oxalic acid or
vinegar and salt. strong solution should
be used into which the wooden cloth is
dipped.
As soon as it is rubbed over the BRASS
a dry cloth should be used at once, and
when it is clean the brass should be rinsed
thoroughly.
To prevent it from becoming furnished
again rub with whiting or with sweet
oil and tripol

Awaiting The Happy Hour

The New York Sun, while it does not
love Bryan as il should, is nevertheless
counting the days when the present
occupant of the White House shall
vanish to the wilds of Africa. Listen
to the outburst:
Only a little more than five months
more and the parts of speech can take q
needed rest and an exhausted world
remove the fingers from it's ears.
Judges can wake up in the morning
without fearing to find in the news
paper that they have seen cursed and
contaminated. Forehanded men and
such as are officers of corporations will
not be objurgated in every mode and
voice one day and be asked the next in
softer accents than the brides trem-
bling yes to chip into the campaign
fund. Wealth will cease to be crime.
Business will no longer be bludgeoned.
The constitution and common sense will
go into effect again.
"a happiness to the pockets and to
the nerves of millions. Yet it may be
some time before the country can be.
lieye that the change, 80 long desired,
has really come. After so long an
earthquake there will be a lingering
sensation of rocking. But how deli.
cious will be the feeling of quiet, the
knowledge that the omnivocal hula.

It Is reported that there is q good deal
OF opposition to Assemblyman Winter
in the aQft part OF the county DO
cause he opposed the bill granting .
railroad fra1chisS 10 Mr.. LanKWith Of
GolcondH to build o railroad from Carlin
or Elko to Tusearora and White Rock.
The franchise was defeated because
Mr.. Langwith failed to convince tho
Legislature that he. was financially able
to start and complete the road. In
stead of the LangwiEh franchise, q
law was passed giving the county com
missioners the power to grant railroad
and other franchises upon the petition
of a majority Of the taxpayers along
the right of way.
It ought to be plain to every one that
the latter law H. Wueh better for thA
neorlAi tha4 ~ LAA4with franchise
would hSte hsen. Had that been
granted, the right Of way would have
beer, tied mn indde9Risaly to Mr. Lang
With and. he might have used it to de-
feat the building Of ~ railroad to- the
northern camps of the county, just as
the Elko- Eureka franchise was used to
defeat the building Of railroad from
Elko to Eureka.
The defeat Of the Langwith franchise
put it beyond the power of one man or
set of men to play the dog-in-the-
manager game with the right to build a
railroad from Carlin or Elko to Tuscan
ora and the northern mining camps
Instead of Mr.. Winter meeting with
opposition because of his course on the
Langwith franchise, he should receive
the united support of the people of the
northern part of the county. For in
stead of Mr. Langwith owning the ex.
elusive franchise to build this railroad,
it remains the property of the people to
be disposed of as the law directs.

sAsr, seAeel Dey o. Friday caatrary To law.

An important change in the conduct
of the public schools, made by the new
course of study, seems to have been
overlooked by several teachers in
White Pine county. 1t has been GUS
tomary to close school on Fridays at
an earlier hour than on other days,
and some teachers have practically
wasted the entire afternoon, thereby
cutting the school month short from
one to two days. There has never
been good reason for such practice,
and none now exists.
The course of study adopted by the
state board Of education, and which
the deputy superintendent are direct
ed to enforce, specifically states that
the school month shall consist of TWEEN
ty days on which school shall begin at
o'clock a. m. and close at o'clock
p. M, with an intermission of one
hour at noon and two interhnissions of
not to exceed is minutes each during
the day. A shorter month does not
fulfill the teachers contract with the
district, and renders it practically i'm
possible to do the work required. Ely
