Going With the Crowd.

Every young man who has any
ambition ought to read the address
delivered by President Hadley of
Yale to the freshmen of that famous
university the other day. At least.
they should read the subjoined para
graphs:
1T is easy to enter into the life of
the college so fully that we follow
the crowd in whatever it does The
probabilities are that we shall not
be called to account for the first
time, nor the second. The probabili-
ties are that the crowd will not do
anything very bad the first time nor
the second. But the harm shows
sooner or later; and on the whole
the boy is more fortunate who is
called to account promptly sand
brought face to face with the real
character of what he is doing than
the one who escapes so long that
he fixes upon himself the habit of
mental irresponsibility. The practice
of taking ones case and going with
the crowd may or may not bring its
penalty today. II must bring its pen
atty sooner or later
These temptations which now
meet us are essentially the same in
kind as those which will meet us in
our several lines of business and pro-
fessional work II we take life easily
and shift upon the crowd the respon-
sibility which each man ought to
assume for himself. we are preparing
to succumb TO life's trials. Profess
sional disgrace is ten times oftener
the result Of carelessness than of in
territorial badness. Nobody ever in
tended to go to Jail; nobody ever in
tended to lose his position in society
by forfeiting the respect of his fellow
men. The criminal and the outcast
became criminal and outcast by fol-
lowing the lines of least resistance:
by not thinking of consequences; by
not really knowing what they did.
And. conversely. If we face the con-

BETS ROLL UP
MEXICAN CAUSES EXCITEMENT
IN GOLDFIELD WHEN HE
WINS $500

In yesterdays issue of the Gold
field Tribune there is a story of a
Mexican, described as sphinx
faced" who created lot of excite
ment when he beat the faro bank
in the Northern saloon out of $500.
Throughout the game the Mexican
exhibited no emotion land when his
comparatively few cents were rap
idly mounting into dollars, he sat
there calmly putting on his cigar
etc."
Ye gods! Has it come to this?
That such notice of play where
but $500 is at stake, is taken, is
beyond our understanding. Why,
in Tonopah one can enter almost
any gambling house where may be
seen sphinx faced" players max
ing bets that will total several
thousands of dollars. 1t was of no
later date than last week when a
big mining man of this city was
playing with checks worth $500
apiece, and he usually placed five
or six on a single card. Talk about
sphinx faced" the appearance cf
the person bucking the tiger led the
observers to believe that the checks
were valued at about one buck pei
stack. During the course of the
play, several bets were made that
averaged several thousand.
Sphinx faced! Why, severa
years ago there was big iron man
ufacturer from France here and ht
started to buck the tiger. He broke
all previous records. The game o.
chance he selected was the craI
table and when he laid down $50,
900 on the line and shot nine
the dealer never blinked an eye.

MAN
ARRESTED FOR AN
ALLEGED Debt

Roy Crosson, owner of garage
at Tonopah, was arrested here yes
terday afternoon Immediately upon
arrival from the south. He is
charged with having defrauded the
Montana Cafe of Tonopah of bill
for board amounting to $28.
Crosson was highly indignant on
being informed of the telegram re-
questing his arrest, and claimed
that it was a case of malice. He
aserts that he is not indebted to
the cafe.
In company with James Gilbert
of Tonopah Crosson is bound for
Salt Lake on business. Rather than
be delayed here several days, eros
son paid the $28 with court costs
and continued on his way.-White

1T LOOKS LIKE
SOMETHING BIG
IN THE WIND
Appearances Indicate that Railroad
Deal is Pending, Although Prominent
Officials Deny Rumors.

the past week it has been evident
that there was something doing"
but all queries were answered with
statements to the effect thai there
was nothing of a sensational bear
ing under way.
President j. S. Austin, of the To-
nopah Mining company, was asked
concerning the rumor last evening
and his answers to the various
questions were to the effect that
his visit was merely of the semi-an-
nual order that he has been pursu-
ing for a number of years.
What about that gathering If
railroad notables?" was asked him.
That may be termed as simply
a coincidence, was the reply
rs there a possibility of the To
nopah and Goldfield road passing
into the control of other parties?'
Intercepted the Bonanza represen-
tative.
THE appointment of Mr.. Cutter
as president Of the road doesn't ap'
pear as if the line was to be sold
| can asure you that there is N
sensational deal pending"
This is the way the matter now
stands. If there is something il
the wind it will take time to devei
op it. If there is not, southern Ne
vada will be content to pursue thu
even tenor of it's ways. If the To
nopah and Goldfield railroad builds
