BISHOP NOW
AFTER A GAME
WITH TONOPAH
THEY WILL PROBABLY BE AC-
CONINIODATED WHEN WE
WIN THE PENNANT

Bishop has caught the aspiration
fever and is now clamoring for
the scalps of the Tonopah ball team
SO as to be the champions of Ne
vada and eastern California. In a
game there few days ago they de-
feated the Independence players,
thereby winning the championship
of that country.
Just as soon as Tonopah secures
the pennant from Goldfield, we will
be pleased to accommodate the
Inyo players, but in the meantime
we beg them to be patient. There
are two games scheduled to be
played with Goldfield, and to meet
Bishop, Tonopah will have to win
both. Our nine as it stands may
defeat the southerners-and it may
not. II the fates and fortune smile
our way, we will be the victors, but
If the result depends upon good
ball playing, we have our doubts.
In all the games this season, the
victories have been won by the bat
terry, not by team work.

ONE SIDED SCRAP TAKES PLACE
ON MAIN STREET YES
TERDAY

Yesterday afternoon while the
wind was amusing itself by blowing
all the dust on Main street down to
Millers and then back up through
the town and out toward Gold
mountain, an impromptu scrap oc-
cured at the intersection of Main
and Brougher avenue. The defend
ant in the case was standing at the
corner, apparently oblivious to his
surroundings. He was facing the
fire house, when an individual, in a
half intoxicated condition, came
walking down Brougher avenue.
He no sooner spied the first named
party, than he approached and let
go a haymaker, which after landing
caused the smitten one considerable
surprise with an equal amount of
pain. The recipient of the swing
turned around and started to de-
fend himself. His antagonist inn
mediately put down his hands and
began making profuse apologies,
stating that it was a case of mis-
taken identity as he had thought
the party to be another. The apol-
agy was accepted and after a short
conversation the two separated,
number one going up the street rub
bling his neck while number two
wendell his way northwards, nour-
ishing sore fist.

THANKS TO
THE POLICE OFFICERS

/ desire to express my thanks
and appreciation to Chief of Police
Ed Malley, his officers and Judge
H. H. Atkinson, for their efficient
work in recovering the valuables
stolen from my cabin several weeks
ago. The articles stolen were of a
great value to me, more on account
of their memories than of their in
trinsic worth, and their restoration
is appreciated.

POLICE HAVE
CRIMINAL TRIO
IN CUSTODY
ED MALLEY AND OFFICERS DO
GOOD WORK In ARREST
ING BURGLARS

Conan Doyle. might have been inn
bued with the idea that he was all
to the good when it came to cap
turing criminal, but we believe
we can equal his tactics by the
work of Chief, of Police Ed NAL
ley.
About two weeks ago the Oasis
saloon was broken into and a few
articles stolen. Prior to that the
cabin of owen jackson, situated
near the Midway mine, was entered
and a gold watch and several trink-
cts were distracted. Chief Malley
and his officers have been on the
hunt for these criminals ever since
the burglaries
On the morning following the
Oasis robbery, officer Frank Walsh
arrested a party giving the name
of John Doe Mcdonald. There was
strong evidence pointing toward his
being implicated in the burglary
and he was sentenced to serve As
days in the county jail on a charge
of vagrancy. This was done in or
der to hold him as witness. The
following day one of his compan-
ions, who gave his name as John
Doe Martin, was taken into custody
and when searched, the revolver
taken from the Oasis was found on
his person. Martin in talking let
slip the information that there was
third member in the gang, who
was the leader.
A search was made in this city,
but No. 3 could not be found.
Chief Maley notified the officers in
the surrounding towns, and on Sat
urday evening was informed by I'm
der Sheriff Mike Catalan of Gold
field, that his man was in custody
there. He had been arrested by a
deputy and on the road to the Jail
gave his captor the slip, but was
recaptured later in the evening.
, Chief Malley brought him to To-
nopah Sundaysran he was booked
under the name of Tom Martin.
Yesterday the officers recovered the
watch and trinkets of Mr.. Jackson,
from a place where they had been
buried, along with a compass and
ring taken from the Oasis. Several
packages of laundry were also re-
covered from cabin where they
had been stored. These articles
had been stolen by John Doe Mar
tin from a laundry wagon. A grip
taken from the Phoenix lodging
house was also recovered The
men. when they first arrived here,
took rooms at the Phoenix, and
were suspected by the proprietor of
having taken the grip.
The capture of the men is the re-
suit of hard work on the part of
the chief of police and his depu-
ties, to whom great credit is due.
Tonopah, in the past, has always
boosted of the fact that very few
vags loitered within our midst, for
whenever one was arrested he was
Immediately given a few hours in
which to hit the trail Owing to
these precautions there have been
very few petty depredations COM
mitted.
The two Martins will be given
preliminary hearing before Judge
Atkinson today and it is safe to
say that the evidence is so strong
they will be bound over

"Yule" of "Merrie England" is the old Teu-
tonic name of the religious festival of the win
ter solstce, during which Cet and Roman
could trace the movements of their deities
they walked abroad in the world.
The Story Christmas Tells.
The Christian religion is not merely some
thing built over the old ethnic religions as the
church of st. Maria Sopra Minerva in Rome is
built over the ruins of the old heather temple
of Minerva. as the grove sacred to Adonis
was planted by the order of the Emperor Had
rian over "the cave close to the village" which
is now honored as the scene of the Saviour's
birth 1t had larger and deeper meaning.
Christmas tells the story of a gradual but
complete unfolding of the divine idea of relig-
ion as seen in the Christ Child, of it's worship
and its merry-making in its at once sacred
and social feast.
The story is told simply but graphically by
two of the four evangelists. st. Marks gospel
begins with the baptism of the Christ so log
icay he had need to tell the story of his
birth and boyhood st. John wrote near the
close of the first century, and with the domi-
nant idea of setting forth the divinity of
Christ in opposition to the prevailing gnosti-

SOME IDEAS FOR DECORATIONS
How to Make the Home Look Bright
and Cheerful for the
Holidays.

In massing holly for use on the
Christmas table it repays one to wipe
off the leaves with a cloth dipped in
very little olive oil, says the Housekeep-
er. Tall candles should light the feast
and the holly leaves reflect the twink
ling lights in q beautiful manner II
chandelier hangs over the dining
table a feature which will delight the
children is to have a nosegay of arti-
fetal flowers suspended from the chan
delier to within a foot of the table by
means of red ribbon. This bouquet
should have the paper puff of the old
time fashion, and the bouquet itself
will be found to be shower bouquet
one small noseegay for each person,
in the depths of which some trifling
gift is hidden.
Snowballs of cotton, tightly wound
with white ribbon, also conceal gifts
most attractively, while the cheap but
pretty little Santa Claus candy boxes,
for sale at favor shops, are effective
upon the Christmas table, and will
hold quite good-sized package, or, of
course, may be used to hold the bon
bons for which they are intended For
a luncheon or high tea during Christ
mas week, a beautiful table may be
set by employing the use of green
linen runners embroidered in white.
A holly bell or bunch of red carna-
tions in cut-glass vase will touch
the center of the table to brilliancy
and soft garlands of southern moss
may lightly edge the linen runners,
or doilies if they be used instead.
The colonial glass candlesticks are
still in favor, and nothing is more at
tractive in a country house. With tall
green or red tapers, a group of these
candlesticks placed in mass of holly
as centerpiece is both appropriate
and beautiful.
A quaint little Christmas tree may
be used as centerpiece by procuring
at the florists little pepper plant"
which has lovely green leaves and red
berries. Wound with glittering tinsel
and tied with candied fruits held in
place with wee baby ribbons, or
hung with little favors of French jew
elry or articles of trifling worth, the
little tree makes a centerpiece of
charm.

"THE PRINCE OF PEACE"
His Wonderful Influence Continues
and Widens Through the
World.

All the old troublous questions of
the origin and destination of the Cali
lee Carpenter have passed, notes a
writer in Golfers. All the mediaeval
worriment in discriminating between
human and divine has gone, all the
puzzled inquiry into the miraculous.
No longer is mankind stirred over the
non-essential. Theories of him fade
away, dogmas of his nature lose their
charm. His gentleness has conquered.
His influence continues and widens.
Slowly Frightening, the CLEAN that
touched him spreads through the
world. His spirit moves on the face
of civilization, and makes it kindlier
every generation. The touch of his.
hand is on the grief-stricken Nurse,
physician, and nun are the messen-
gers of his teaching. The vestal fires
burned out, but never the fires of his
spirit, which answer each other from
mountain-top to mountain-top across
the continents. And deep in the heart
of the people they make family life
sweeter and ease the bitterness of
failure and ignorance and all life's in
completeness. That wonder-working
personality was never so potent as to-
day-so insistent and tenderly sure
Under a thousand forms, creeds and
names, men serve him. And however
far we go in the conquest of nature,
identifying the north pole, climbing
the sky, prying open electrical forces,
mapping out the subliminal, diminish
ing sin, disease, war, poverty, igno-
rance-always in the advance will be
that gracious figure of the Sinless One,
who showed Love as the rule of life
One Perfect Man-ardent and gentle
the race will never tire of him.

opher, and Doctor Seraphicus" pre-
served writings of dogmatc ddactic nature
cusively and this hymn is not to be found them
Doubtless is to be referred to the seraphic side of his
genius and temperament It's classic Latin cadences
of such lyric felicity that cannot help but believe
they were written to the noble and touching melody
whose wings they have foated to time Surely this
not too fantastic suggestion when it is that
the original Greek music of the Delphic hymn Apollo
preserved intact and that certain familiar phrases of
the Gregorian chant used to-day in the Roman mass,
identified by Hebrew historians the which
sung Solomon's temple many before the time
of Christ
The hymn "Adese Fideles" is not known have been
used in England earlier than the seventeenth century
The musical setting have it in modern notation is
ascribed by Novello to John Reading, who
oganist at Winchester cathedral from 1875 to 1884, and
later at Winchester college, Its real origin the
miss of antiquity which probably antedates the middle
ages and the Latin to which it has been nsep
arably welded.
Word-anguage reaches but the one people or race to
whom it is directly addressed. But the language music
is unversait is "undersanded of the people" instantly
all the wide world over-it needs not to be written in
choice Latin translated into many tongues-it is
caught from the heart and echoes forever That
why the "Adeste Fideles" has become the Christmas
hymn of all the world.

tian era pagan Europe, in all it's tribes and
peoples, had celebrated its chief festival. So
here we have the double truth of the golden
age and the rebirth of the unconquered sun,
as he breaks the power of darkness, refined
and enriched in the Christian teaching Of
peace earth and good will to men," as
coincdent with the rising of the Sun of
Righteousness in the birth into the world of
the son of the peasant woman who also
the Son of God
This view of Christmas accentuates the
true place OF the Christian religion in relation
to the ancient and deep-seated religions which
preceded it, and at the same time reveals
beauty of development in it's elimination as
the completed manifestation of God to man.
In the infancy of the race the winter solstice
was everywhere a season of rejoicing. No
matter what the peculiar form which it
sumed it expressed the world joy of the time.
So the very idea of the Child God which gives
Christmas its meaning may not only have been
foretold by sybil and seer and prophet, but
prefigured by the infant gods of the Greek and
Egyptian and Hindu and Buddhist forms of
religion.
These to us imperfect an unsatisfactory

conceptions of the Di-
vine may have been the
rude but honest efforts
of the earlier days of the
human race to group the
idea of a Goldman which
has been made so real
and so full of joy to us
in the Nativity and the
Epiphany of the Christ.
In this sense the early
church may have been
wiser than she wot of.
Her aim was to select
the best features of the
heather feasts and en-
body them for their puri-
fication in Christian
practices and sacred
rites and to wean the
converts from their old
superstitions to the
deeper and more real
truths of the Christian
faith.
But in so doing she
may have been the un-
conscious instrument of
q diyinely guided evolu-
tion in religious practice
and belief which has en-
nobled and enriched the
world. The symbolism
of our Christmas to-day
certainly lends itself in
many ways 10 this point
of view. In the greenery
with which we deck our
houses and churches and
in the gift-laden fir trees
which gladden. our chill
dren's hearts, we still re-
tain the symbols by
which our heather fore
fathers signified their
faith in the power of re-
turning sun to clothe the
earth with green and
hang new fruit on the
trees. The Christmas
carol may be a new
birth of the hymns of
the Saturnalfa. The
holly and mistletoe

The Man in the Moon

Russian folklore tells that the man
in the moon was one who was seeking
the isle in which there is no death.
At last, after travelling far, he found
the longed-for haven and took up his
abode in the moon. After hundred
years had passed, death called for him
one Christmas eve and fierce strug-
gle ensued with the moon, who was
victorious; and so the man stayed
where he was.

story is told of an Alpine farmers servant
who hid in the stable on Christmas eve and
heard the horses talking about his own death,
which followed few days later.
A Bosnian Legend.
There is Bosnian legend that the sun
leaps in the heavens and the stars dance
around it. A great peace comes stealing down
over mountain and forest. The rotten stumps
stand straight and green on the hillside The
grass is be1owered with blossoms and the
birds sing the mountain tops in thanks to
God. In Poland the heavens open and Jacobs
ladder is set up between earth and sky. In
Austria the candles set in the window, that
the Christ Child may not stumble when he
comes to bless the home. In north Germany
the tables are spread and the lights left burn
ing for the Virgin Mary and her attending
angel
The English superstition is admirably
voiced by the myriad-mnded Shakespeare in
Hamlet"
Some say that 'gainst that
Wherein Lords birth is celebrated
The bird of dawnng singeth all night long,
And then they say spirit walk abroad
No fairy takes witch hath power to charm,
So halowed and gracious is the time"
If man will compliment his wife upon her
youthful appearance and tell her that he loves
her, she will forgive other white lies
