FUNERAL OF MRS. CLARK WILL
BE HELD TOMORROW FROM
UNDERTAKING PARLoRS

Tomorrow afternoon at the parlors
of Wonacott & Cavanaugh the flu
neral of the late Mrs Marion Clark
will be held, according to the ritual
of the Episcopal church The sisters
of the dead woman in Oakland and
Berkeley at first showed a disposi-
tion TO take care of the remains, but,
after hearing that the burden would
fall on them, they refused to answer
kilograms or state anything more
than they would not pay any of the
expenses.
Owing to the fact that the old lady
was pioneer of the camp a few
old friends started out this morning
with subscription list for the pur'
pose of raising funds to give the
deceased decent burial.
Mrs. Clark was born in Plattsburg
n. Y, and was descendant, on her
mothers side, OF Marquis de La Fay

OF THE CAMP
BREAK INTO PRosPEcToR's CAB.
IN AND STEAL HIS STORES
AND PISTOL

Martin Dean, former mayor of Alt
man, Col, the toughest and highest
incorporated town in the United
States. wishes he could secure leave
from Chief of Police Evans to do as
he pleases with a bunch Of low
sneaks who are making a living by
preying on prospectors working on
claims in the vicinity of Tonpoah
If he had his way he would land
the bunch right where they belong,
but no action has been taken by the
officers so far as reported.
Martin is growing old, but he has
the bright blue eye Of Ireland and a
firm jaw that has a sinister look
when he grows warm under the col
lar When he returned to his cabin
on the King of Tonopah claims last
Sunday evening, after an absence OF
a couple OF hours. he found his cabin
had been entered and his stock OF
bacon, bread, flour and all other
commodities carried off The thieves
also took a revolver
The paddock had been picked by
an expert who is supposed to be one
OF the men who robbed the Toggery
during the last boxing contest Mar
tin placed new paddock on the
door next day, but the following night
the cabin was visited again, pre-
sumably by the same men, who
thought they would find fresh stock
Of grub, but their skeleton keys
would not unlock the new lock, and
they departed, leaving an iron gas
pipe On Monday the old pros
pector did little detective work or
his own account and located a gang
of hoboes down near the Cash Boy
one of whose number he had seen
lurking around the King of Tonopah
and he thinks the citizens Of the
camp should be warned against the
gang.
Martin adds that the worse lucb
that could happen the bunch woulC
be to eat the batch of bread taker
from his cabin. as it was flat ant
as indigestible as porphyry.

SPITE FENCE GOES
DOWN BEFORE
RECENT STORM
ONE OF THE LANDMARKS OF
FLORENCE AVENUE LAlD LOW
BY A SIxTY-MlLE WIND

The old spite fence on Florence
avenue, which has been pointed out
for years as one of the distinguishing
marks of early history, is no more.
AT least it does not rear its head
proudly on the rocky hillside of Miz-
pah hill. 1t is humbled in the dust,
and there is no chance of any one
going to the trouble of rebuilding the
obstruction.
A.. j. Poak. formerly of the leas-
ing firm of Poak, Steen & CicaJa, of
Manhattan, erected the fence to get
even with neighbor who violated
the proprieties of the neighborhood
by putting up house extending to
the sidewalk line. Mr. Poak had es-
tablished the fashion in that quarter

planting flowers and setting out trees
In front. This ,laudable example was
copied by others until the arrival of
stranger who refused to be gov
erned by the wish of the adjoining
property owners and insisted on
placing his house right up to the
street line.
There was no redress at law, as a
man had the right to build what
he pleased and how he pleased, so
long as he did not make a nuisance
of his premises.
In view of these circumstances Mr.
Poak took the law into his own
hands by ordering the building of a
fence eight feet high and running di-
rectly from the street line to the rear
of the lot. The fence was built and
Poak and others who tried to beau.
tify the camp got their satisfaction.
The stranger had over reached him.

ing the Poak grounds, and the con
struction of the fence left his best
rooms dark and spoiled the interior
of what was an otherwise very at
tractive home.
Now 1t is all over and matter of
history. The gale that tore things
loose from their moorings during the
recent hurricate sideswiped the spite
fence. and there ends the story.

longer personal or individual because
both employers and operatives act
in groups.
1T is obvious" the report says,
that this method OF employment.
generally necessary for success in
modern industry. may give to EN-
ployers great contraciual advantages
over wage earners. Unless wage
earners also act collectively through
their own agents they are often at a
practical disadvantage Employers
who act collectively in hiring wage
earners are often averse to dealing
with agents of wage earners who col
lectively offer their services. They
desire to contract with wage earners
individually. 1t is upon this point
that labor disputes frequently spring
up and become acute. In most in
stances in which employers accord
workmen practical recognition Of the
right of collective bargaining which
they themselves exercise. fair rela

THE CRUELTIES OF WAR.

Sherman said: "War is hell"
And there are many persons living
in this Southland to-day who know
that he was a competent witness.
In the morning of Time tribes that
found good feeding in the wilds of
virgin creation were loath to give up
their territory. If other wandering
tribes encroached upon their reserva-
tons war ensued. This was war
hand to hand in which the antago-
nists Drained each other with clubs
and stones. Some times one tribe
would entirely wipe out another.
To-day the cause of war are very
much the same, and it is doubtful if
the antagonists are less cruel. The
atrocities accredited to participants
in the Balkan war harked back to
the savage instinct ; and the posi-
bility of slaughter under primal
methods were much less than under
modern methods. Then men fought
in small bands only on the solid
earth. Now men fight on land, on
sea, in the air, under the ground and
under the sea; and every devilish
contrivance that the ingenuity of
man could devise is in use for the de-
structiOn of bis fellow man. What
if the primal man did murder a few
women and children, does not mod
ern warfare leave millions of widows
and orphans, whose lot is worse than
death?
The battle field with hundreds of
thousands of men lying cold in death,
shocking as it may seem, is but a tri-
fe as compared with the fearful con-
sequences that must be borne by the
families of the deceased. Those who
die in the excitement of battle,
flushed by patriotism, lie down to
sleep in peace. The families of the
slain live to degenerate physically
and mentally for lack of means on
which to live. They live to mourn
the death of the hundreds of thou
sands sacrificed to cruel war.
The question arises: Are men
taken collectively, really better than
they were in the savage state? The
cruelty of the modern army is more
refined but it is of greater magni-
tude. Destruction is multiplied in
just the proportion that modern
methods for human slaughter are eff
fective over the savage club. The
army is more brutal than the indi-
vldual, and the number Of brutal
degcnerates, even as individuals,
GEMS to be multiplying.
