Dramatist ouarrels With Critics.

Henri Bernstein seems to have resented
the views of the French dramatic critics
since the presentation Of his latest play.
Israel" in Paris in October Of last year.
When this drama was first produced the
Paris papers expressed widely diverse
opinions Of it, some finding 1t diffuse and
tiresome. while others praised 1t.
Henri Bernstein was born In Paris III
1870. His mother was an American, and
when he became of age he was sent to
Cambridge University, In England, to be
educated.
He has produced more than dozen
plays in the last two years, most Of which
have been successful. israel is now be-
ing presented in New York,
Among Bernstein's most noted plays are
The Thief" which had long run In
Paris ana London before coming to this
country last season; Samson which
ran all of last season in New York city;
"Apres Moi lie Barcail,'' lie Detour,' .
'Frere JACQUES La Ratale" and
"Apres lie Deluge," which was recently
produced in Paris.

COMMISSIONERS
REVIEW REPORT

The report of the expert account
ant employed some time since to
examine into the affairs of the u
ty and the methods employed by
the various county officials in the
management of their Offices, was be-
fore the commissioners yesterday.
The report is quite voluminous COW
ering Lightweight extra large pages
of typewriter copy. 1t is bound in
morocco and gotten up in a first
class manner. 1t has not been &C
copied by the board, neither will II
be until the county officials have
had an opportunity to thorough!
examine its contents.

accomplish much more than all the
hog wash that has been written
about the camp.
Glendale is taking on the APP
pearance of a camp that has merit
behind it. In more than one place
gold has been found in quantities
that will pay to work. There is not
the slightest doubt, judging from the
reports of men who are not given
to exaggeration, that the ledge has
been found on the Cooper and Nagle
lease, while the Mushett block looks
like a winner. 1t Is said author
atively that the Grimes, Warburton,
Malley lease is in the money.
The next thirty days should wit
ness a bona fide rush to the camp,
if indeed it has not already started.
The reports coming from there are
indeed fiattering and many people
are beginning to realize that Ellen
dale bids fair to become a fixture
among the mining camps of Nevada

CALLS WIFE
OF JOHN KELLEY

Mrs. William Sinclair received a
telegram last evening from Butte
City announcing the death of her
sister-in-law, Mrs. John Kelly. Mrs.
Sinclair will leave this morning for
the Copper camp.
The telegram did not state the
cause of the death of Mrs. Kelly.
It came from the husband of the
deceased lady.
Mrs. Sinclair but recently return
ed from Butte, whittier she went to
be at the bedside of her brother,
John Kelly, who was not expected
to live. Now comes the additional
sorrow announcing the taking away
of the wife of the sick man. Mr..
Kelly has been ailing for some time
past while Mrs. Kelly had been en-
joing the best of health. Her death
was a complete shock to the rela-
tives in this city. She was for
merly Miss Maud McDermott of
Virginia City. The sympathy of the
community goes to the relatives Of
Mrs. Kelly in their affection.

BUT A FEW DAYS IN
WHICH TO REDEEM

The time for %redeeming property
which was sold by the county on
the 18th day OF January in default
Of payment of taxes by the owners,
is nearing its close. Under the law,
a person is given six months within
which time to again acquire owner
ship. The time will run out on the
18th day of this month.
In January's sale over 400 pieces
OF property were disposed of, $50
of which were bought in by indi-
viduals, the remaining pieces being
acquired by the county. a large
number of delinquents have redeem
ed their property. Especially is
this the case in the Manhattan and
the Round Mountain districts.

iod it places the total expenses con-
nected with operating the county at
1878, 12s.Ss.
THE expenditures have been ex-
orbitant and without proper value
to the county" is one of the critic
isms the report has to make.
THE county is indebted for all
permanent improvements that have
been carried out during our investi-
cation, and has created a deficit of
$24,250.66 on its revenue and ex-
pense account" is another of the
many caustic paragraphs of which
the report is we'll supplied.
The report suggests many cures
for the ills it is supposed to have
discovered in its diagnosis of eondi-
tions in this county.
The report is the work of an ex-
pert in the employ of the firm OF
Lester, Herrick and Herrick, certi-
fed public accountants.
The officials of the county who
come in for criticism do not take
the report seriously. 1t may be tina
the systems employed here were no
up TO the standard as judged from
the view point of the man who wa
or is or maybe will get $25 per da,
for his services.
In addition to the remarks, whicl
occur in the book, there is page up
on page of figures in tabulate,
form. 1t would require many col
. umns of a newspaper to publis
, them and which when printed woul
be of little interest to the genera
public.
We take it that the most valuabl
: part of the report is the splendi
: manner in which it is printed an
bound. It's criticisms may accom-
. plish an improvement over the pre-
ent methods, but it fails to impeaC
the integrity of anyone to any mari
ed degree.
