was there as many subjects repre-
sented, and the costumes as original
as at last nights dance Owing &C
the fact that no one in he CITY had
foresight enough to carry costumes
everyone was of necessity compelled
to manufacture their own. AS a re-
suit everything was new and diffel
ent from the usual run of costumes
at like affair.
1t would be hard to pick out the
pest dressed lady, the best sustained
character or group of characters. but
one OF the neatest imnersonat,ons
was that of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Cow
ing, dressed as South Sea Islandars
They were there with the proner
clothes, rings in their noses and
ears, clubs of war and the latest cre-
alton in South Sea sunshades Their
part was carried out to perfection.
Mr. Sauter made a good beer bottle
only the supply was somewhat short.
Mrs. Mcmillan, as an owl, was very
clever and few knew the little lady
until the masks were removed One
of the best groups was the whole
Damn Family" who were there in
force, twelve of them, under the
guidance of papa and mama Damm)
Partridge. and their fun was only
limited by the style OF clothes they
tanned her character in an excellent
manner, as did Mrs. George Tyrrll rs
the postcard girl. Mrs. Joe Muller
and Mrs. AL. Smith as Spanish dane
ers were very attractive in their
Spanish gowns. Mrs. Chrisle rand
Dake, as wooden shoe artists, did
few steps and were good in their
parts, wearing no masks but keeping
some of their closest friends. guess
ing.
But what's the use to tell Of the
many good characers there, as 1t
would require the entire space OF
this paper Suffice it to say that
they were all good, all out for a good
time, and had it.
During the evening some one sug-
gested a coon dance by the same or
ganization at an early date. All the
dancers were called to the front OF
the hail and a vote called for. Tt,v
ayes had it by such iarge,ov wars
that if anyone voted .,o
''o' me announcement was
'iiee made that something of the sort
would be sprung the last OF next
month and corks and lamp black Will
be at premium from this time forth.
The band boys are going about to-
day squaring up their bills and say
that they will make neat sum from
the dance which will be used for tle
support and maintenance of the +
san1zation.

Hy Downs
a Hero?

There is hero in Carson City, but
from the conflicting reports received
of the deed performed. it has become
a lard matter to locate him. From
the account of the affair it seems that
Pete Grow, Ollie Tenant. Hy Downs
and cousin of Tenants, were
hunting at WaShOe Lake last Sunday
and while in the act of sneaking on
lone duck n an open pond the ice
gave way and according to Downs,
Tenant was on the point of drown
ing When he 'heroically plunged into
the icy wa.ar5 OF Wasnoe Lake and
rescued him from a waterS grave.
Tenant denies the story in part,
stating that at the point where he
broke through he ice the water was
only six inches deep but Downs, see
ing chance to get little free ad-
vertisng, rushed in, yelling, stay
with it, Ollie, I'll save you" and still
believes that he did something that
should be claSsed as heroic.

Another Case
of Smallpox

The home of Lou Burt. the we'll
known plumber has been placed un-
der quarantine owing to the fact that
Mrs. Burt has developed a case of
smallpox. This was discovered Sat
urday night by DR.. Krebs, who imme-
diatcly ordered that the place be
quarantined. and yellow flag now

on MuSser Street.
Tae children of Mr.. Burt have
been attending the public schools

This Is tae first step to take the
law to the Supreme Court of the
State of Nevada to which court 1t
will be appealed to from the decis-
ion of Judge Langan of he District
Court for this district.
II has been known for some time
past that this move would be made
and it is the general concensus OF
opinion that it is better TO have the
law tested at the present time than
to wait until some act has been com.
mitted under the law and then find
that the same Is null and void from
the fact that the law is unconstitu-
tional
Much discussion has been had re-
garding the Jaw and the effect it will
have in the politics of the state. but
with the filing of the papers in the
case to-day passes the matter up to
the highest court to say whether il is
to remain upon the statutes or rele-
gated to the scrap heap of bad laws
and return to the former political
methods that nave been in force
since the State of Nevada was admi,
ted into the union.

WIDOW Of SLAIN
Man TEsT|F|Es
Mrs. Glover Is Put Through Merci-
less Cross Examination by Hattie
LeBlanc's Counsel.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. HAT
tie Leblanc and Mrs. Lillian NJ. Glow
er, both accused Of the murder of
Clarence r. Glover, entered the East
Cambridge courtroom today where
Hattie's trial for the murder is pro-
crossing. ready for startling develop
ment-the girl. accused by process OF
law, and on trial; the woman accused
by counsel for the defense, Melvin NJ.
Johnson. The girl looked at Mrs.
Glover almost appealingly, as II ready
for n smile of recognition, but the
woman remained apparently indiffer-
ent.
The battle lines are clearly drawn.
Attorney Johnson for the little French
Canadian girl showed his hand In yes
terday's session. He will try to prove
Hattie Leblanc innocent by showing
that Mrs. Glover had motive, means
and ability to destroy her husband.
The court room was crowded when
Mrs. Glover was recalled to the stand.
She was asked by the prosecuting at
torney regarding her proficiency with
firearms and swore she was poor
shot.
Then Attorney Johnson, for the de-
tense, took her in charge. II was a
terrific cross-examination, leading into
every detail of her life. She denied
that she had ever lived under any
other name than Glover, but admitted
that she had received letters at the
Waltham postofflce as Minnie Everett
Clarke" She swore she was married
to Glover In 1890. Confronted with
her marriage certificate, showing that
she was married in 1900 she said she
had discovered the frst marriage was
illegal and had married Glover again.
She could produce no arriage certih-
cate OF the first marriage She denied
intimacy with Glover before their mar
rage, and denied many instances
which Johnson sought to show proved
her guilty OF intimacy with other
men.
Continuing under cross-examination
Mrs. Glover described her life in de-
tail from the time she came to Boston
at the age Of ~. When Fl she trav-
eled with a theatrical company In Can
ada. posing as marble statue. She
had in 1900. bought out laundry In
Boston, where she placed Glover in
charge. Later they went into the tin
ware business.
The witness said that prior to March
30, 1909, when she alleged she first
discovered the intimacy between Hat
tie Leblanc and Glover. she had never
seen any undue familiarity between
them nor had she in the least dis
trusted her French Canadian maid.
She confirmed her testimony given
at the inquest where she said she had
no reason why Hattie should shoot
Glover.

CLAIMS THREE-CENT FARE
PLAN HAS BEEN SUCCESS
Cleveland Man Declares Trolley OFF,
cisIs Of That City Have Failed In
Attempt To Defeat It.

CLEVELAND. O., Dec. 1.-The
Cleveland street railway has made
profits by the three-cent fare plan In
the past eight months. according TO
Peter Witt, former city clerk, and
close friend Of ex-Mayor Tom l.. John
son. Mr.. Witt said the railway Off
Gals have endeavored to hold down
the pr pits by increasing expenses, but
have failed.
Their most expensive move said
Witt, was the granting to the en-
ployes OF higher wages than are paid
on any other street railway lines in the
United States. They granted a fiat
increase OF four cents an hour to all
the men. That makes their wages
from tlve to twelve cents an hour
more than is paid for similar work
on any other surface line. But that
didn't stop the profits.
"Of course. the officials will present
figures TO show that the experiment
has failed. They have been able to
get basis which leaves them still
ground to stand on. Trust them to
take care OF that. Not reasonable
ground, but legal ground. Here Is the
point:
lowed to deduct from their earnings
for maintenance of their plant funds
fixed on a sliding scale, which meant
ABOUT LIZ cents for every mile run
by every car. This provides an enor-
nous sinking fund. With It they
would be able to replace their entire
plant in about four years time. IL
has been proved by repeated expert
ment and is recognized by experts all
over the country, that the average
life of a steel rail In street railway
service Is 16 years. II is at least that
for most other, equipment. so they
are setting aside for this purpose
nearly four tir es as much as il .neees-
sary With all this unnecessary fund
deducted they. have managed svof Bring
their expenses up to- jrst~ little over
the earnings less the dividends. l.a
Is, they have not quite made expense
plus dividends. plus this great replace
ment fund.
But they have made expenses, plus
dividends. plus a reasonable replace
ment fund, plus a surplus. They have
shown. though they dfd not want to,
that even under wastefu manage
ment. at exorbitant wages. with In
fiated capital and watered stock, three
cent fares can aud do pay good divi-,
dends. .,
AS 10 their next move, I am not
sure. They will have to apply to the
council for permission to raise the
fare. suppose they will do so.''
No official statement has been is-
sued by the officials of the company.
President John Stanley simply said
that under the ordinance the service
was inadequate. Street Railway Com

DRINKS IN NIGHT
VIM. Tl.aw, Millionaire, and Nephew
of Harry Thaw, Swears Of, and
Wins Bride.

NEW YORK, Dec. His ability
to abstain from strong drink won a
bride for william Thaw Ill. Pitts
burg millionaire. This afternoon
at four o'clock he Will wed Miss
Gladys Virginia Bradley, in the par
lors at the st. Regis hotel-provid-
ing, OF course, in the meantime he
does not take even one drink that
may be needed to steady his nerves.
William Thaw ILL.,, Is a nephew of
Harry X. Thaw, slayer of Stanford
White. He started In at an early age
TO win the hard drinking champion
ship" OF the United States and soon
had the distillers putting on night
shifts TO meet the demand. His best
member which--brandies and sodas
in a single sitting in the fashionable
Allegheny Country club. For several
days the hospital physicians were In
doubt, but he pulled through with a
renewed appetite.
II was after this that his mother,
Mrs William Thaw H., asked the
court to pronounce him an habitual
drunkard and TO place his income
OF $4,000 a year in the hands of
trustees.
Then Thaw met and fell in love
with Miss Bradley, daughter OF
Charles Henderson Bradley, of Bridge
port. sister of Mrs Anthony j.
Drexel Biddle, of Philadelphia.
Miss Bradley consulted Mrs. Biddle
when young Thaw proposed marriage,
and the latter told the young Mr..
Thaw that unless he mounted the
water wagon for one year and could
furnish a guarantee from his mother
that he would stay sober, he need
have no hope of wedding her sister.
Thaw went into training and he
made good. He says he likes sobriety
even better than he did drunkenness
and is going to keep away from "red
eye" all his life.
The wedding ceremony this after
noon will be performed by Rev. DAN
lei Dorchester. OF Christ church,
Pittsburg Frank Dorman will be the
best man. but there will be no other
attendants.
After the wedding there will be a
