CURIOUS LAND TEXTURES.



| Our British cousins still cling TO
some curious customs with respect
to land tenures. One curious pro-
ceeding is known as 'sThe Castor
Whip Tenure" On Palm Sunday
every year a servant from the
Broughton estate attends service at
Castor church with new cart whip,
and, after cracking it three times
on the porch, marches with il to the
manor house.
As the clergyman begins to de-
liver his sermon the servant quits
mis- seat. A purse containing thirty
pieces Of silver il fixed at the end
Of the whiplash, and, kneeling on
cushion, be holds the purse suspend
ed over the head of the minister
until the end Of the sermon. Then
purse and whip are left at the man
or house.

ford, in Essex, Is strange Michael
mas observance held under the aus
pieces Of the steward of the manor. |
The business of the court is trans
acted at midnight in the open air. |

Europe knew next to nothing Of
China or It's people prior to the con-
quests Of the famous Genghis Khan.
The commotion raised by that mon
ster made Europeans somewhat ac-
quainted with "Far Cathay," as Chi
ma was then called. IT was about
the year 1900, or possibly trihe
earlier, that the FIRST Chinese made
their appearance In Europe. The
first commercial intercourse between
Europe and China dates from about
the year 1890.

CONFLICTING ELEMENTS Of

However,
Do Not
Take a

! didate for governor without Opposi-
tion at the primary election, is re-
turn for which Dickcr>on is to abaH-
don his fight against Newlands.
Dickerson is said by those close to
him to be reluctant to bind himself
to any such agreement, taking the
position that to do SO would put him
i'll the light OF lying down. for the
sake of securing an office without
opposition. However, he ha, been
told within the last few days by some
OF his supporters that unless he
agrees either to abandon hi, fight
on \cwlands or accept the promo
ton to become the combination can
didate for governor, he will be an
initiated politically by desertions
from his own ranks.
Just how much Dickerson has bee:l
impressed by these statements he
has not made manifest. At New
lands headquarters, however, the
lmpres ssion prevails. or seems to pre-
vail, that he will capitulatc and aban-
don the conflict
Under the proposed agreement
l.icutenant-GOvernOr Ross would
stand "a a possible candidate for the
office which he now holds. Dicker-
son insists on the elimination Of
George Brodigan from the ticket as
a candidate for secretary of state, as
it shall finally be made up, and the
substitution of Eugene Grutt. present
sheriff OF Mineral county. Neither
Ross nor Brodigan attended the con-
ference held last night and Attor-
ney-General Thatcher is another who
was not there although he was
in Reno.
Jane, T. Boyd, whose opposition
to Dickereon is deep-seated and ex-
tends over several years. was the
| CHIEF opponent to the "bury-the-
hatchct" policy, and the proposed
agreement between the \ewlands
and Dickerson factions and that
Boyd and his followers would not
be bound to the support OF Dicker-
son, was made plain.
Senator NcWlands expects to
leave for Washington tonight. Since

Situation as Learned by the Appeal

As is well-known many Of the
leading Democrats OF the state have
been in session the past few days III
Reno, on the occasion OF the pres
encc there OF Senator Ncwlands.
and as a result thereof many peculiar
and untrustworthy stories have been
made riie, but the true facts as learn
ed by the Appeal are about a, fol-
lows:
First came the announcement by
the friends of Ex-Governor Dicker
son that the latter would be candi-
date at the primaries for governor
and a conference was held with Sen
ator Ncwland, at which an endeavor
was made to get that di,tinguishe
gentleman to support Dlckerson ;
candidacy. but the senator refused 10
support any particular individual,
saying that whether he himself was
nominated or not he would only
support the nominee of the primary
election. Efforts to pull the ,enat or
from this position proved unaval-
ing.
Next came the declaration by
friends of Judge p. \. McCarran
that he would be candidate for
United States senator against New
lands, but this the judge refuses at
the present time to substantiatc.
The name of Sam Belford was
also mentioned in connection with
the scnatorship.
