The birds are the scavengers of the

SPECIAL DIVORCE
CAR, N. Y. TO RENO
A Pullman on Overland Limit
ed Filled With Women Lured
by Time-LOCk Law

RENO, May 25.--It has been expect
ed that under the new 'time-lock" di-
vorce law, by which simply physical
residence of six months is required,
Reno would witness the arrival of di-
vorce seekers in punches, and that
time has come. To the Overland Linn
tied on the Southern Pacific Sunday
morning was attached an elegantly
equipped special private Pullman, oc-
cupied by New York women, several
of whom were accompanied by SER
wants. The limited was compelled to
wait considerably over the allotted
time while the large amount of bag
gage was unloaded.
The women had the car to them
selves all the way from New York A
travelling man who arrived on the
same train says they lived high on
their trip across the continent.
The women all went TO the fashion
able Riverside Hotel and occupied
suits reserved for them Then they
got busy looking for cottages and
other places Of abode for their six
months residence aud today all had
departed from the hotel
They registered as Mrs NJ. II. Fox

Council WresfIes With
a 2240 Pound Ton of Coal

City Council last evening gave
hearing to local retail coal dealers on
the proposed ordinance making 2240
pounds a lawful ton of coal in this
city instead of 1000 pounds, which now
prevails.
Charles H. Ten Weeges, represent
ing the Charles Warner Company said
he was not present to oppose the ordi-
nance but he made q lengthy talk on
the advantage OF a 1000 pound ton at
the present price of coal over the 2240
pound ton at an advanced price. He
said the coal dealers had TO face a
price set by the mine owners and GER
tain advances in price and also had
little to say about coal except in haul
ing it from the yard to the consumers
cellar.
When asked by Councilman Kane
why he did not raise the price instead
Of cutting of the 240 pounds he said
that Il was easier and cheaper for the
consumer TO get the So ton of 1000
pounds than Il was 10 get the 81 ton
Of 2240 pounds. He asked why the city

had introduced II.

informed the councilmen that only FIVE
states in tie Union have law for a
2240 pound ton Of coal and he showed
how much expense was attached to
handling the coal, showing a small
profit for the retailer
Mr. Conway objected on the ground
that what the coal cost and the items
Of expense were the firms private busi-
ness and he did not care what the coal
price was nor the firms expense but
he wanted a full ton Of coal.
Mr.. Pusey favored a weighmaster

PLAGUE OF LETTERS.
Miss Repplier Gives Charming Lecture
at Ursuline Academy.

at Irsuline Academy.
THE Plague of Letters was the
subject of a finely delivered essay by
Miss Agnes Repplier at the Ursu-
line Academy Wednesday afternoon
In this protest against the volumes
of private correspondence thrust
upon the public by the executors OF
The famous dead, the distinguished
lecturer said the notion of a certain
noted man that he would publish his
letters while alive and have the profits
himself was not unreasonable, since
upon the death of any great man, his
letters were usually published quickly
enough to pay the funeral expenses.
There was no hesitation about pub
fishing the most trivial matters, from
the baby's measles TO an invitation 70
dinner. or the most intimate love
even though the author had begged
that BE- destroyed.
The French, she said. we're the least
frank: when they published Victor
Hugos' love letters, written at l9 to
a girl Of II. they said candidly that
1.-THE English and Germans we're
more hypocritioal: they attempted
70 show that although II was regretted
that privacy was thus invaded, It was
4 necessary to publish these letters
for the good of humanity. Miss Rep
plier failed to see how dinner invita-
tions or tiresome anecdotes OF the
children would uplift humanity, While
she said II was amazing that even love
could endure though long course OF
such insanity as the usual love letters.
She thought it a false statement
that through private correspondence
there was a truer acquaintance with
great men, because letters were hurri-
ed, trivial affairs. She thought the
true Bismarck was more to be seen
IN his great speeches than in note
r telling how much he liked sausages.
Letters written on travels giving
= descriptions Of scenery, were some
Of the most deadly dull things known
to man, said Miss Repplier If the
reader had been TO a place he didn't
need to know about it, and if he had
not. he didn't want to. Pet names
always absurd, we're another offense
in published letters to great men. II
hardly helped to an appreciation Of
the artist and poet Dante Gabriel
Rosetti to know that he called hi:
wife "Guggums." And yet an almost
bloodthirsty curiosity over Other
peoples affairs, or sheer momentum
will drive people through bulky vol
umes of dull correspondence.
Some letters, written with a though
to publication, Miss Repplier instanc
ed as properly printed, such al
Madame Sevigne's letters. But tn,

neighbor's affairs, combined with
a pestering frankness in disclosing

But they will :-cve things they have heen

With many f1ne presents that Henry will

And all of his friends be so glad
Nobody he knows could feel bad it he

And all the good times we have had
Will come back again every day IN the

And all OF the boys here in town
win wonder who does 1t and then they
