The same way with the girl who has the rare knack of planning meals. Nearly every woman who runs a board- ing house, as well as nearly every housekeeper, will tell you that all of her work is child’s play compared to the wrestling with that awful question, “What shall we have for dinner?” Magazines for women and writers for women have tried, but not successfully to solvé that problem for them. But it won't work. To plan a re two essen things that must be taken into account. First and above everything the natural tastes of the people to be catered to, and then their purse.

The girl who paints and who draws these cute little figures and the girl who writes poetry. Artists and poets, unless they are capable, have a sorry time earning their living. But the girl who can find a way of dec- orating an advertising show card, or the girl who can write a foolish, jin- aling little verse extolling the qual- ities of a breakfast food or a beer, is not likely to go to bed hungry.

Special Dispatch to The Call CARSON CITY, May 31.—H. R. Winn {of Missouri.and Colonel Prosky of New York, who have been in Nevada for some time looking over mining proper- ties, believe that they have rediscov- ed the famous Talapoosa mine, at one time one of the most sensational prop- erties of the State. ; In the early days of the Comstock James Sullivan and several associates located the.Talapoosa mine. They took out ore that equaled in richness any that carme from the lode, and so great |was the excitement that a committee | was sent from Virginia City to make an examination. As soon as the com- mittee reported $30 a share, and there was none (o be had even at that price. tinued to soar and held the center of the stage for months. Then it began to fall. The superintendent had start- ed a new tunnel and failed to find any sign of pay ore, and report had it that the values came from a pocket, but several of the largest stockholders held that the superintendent was interested order to depreciate ihe property. The locators began fighting: among themselves. One tried to freeze out the other and flnally the famous mine be- |came an idle property that no one could handle on account of the fight that | waged among its owners. In time the | various partner® died, leaving Sullivan | the sole survivor. The mine became [lost. and even those who worked on it | could not tell where it lay. Many made |searches in later days, and although a shaft had been sunk and a tunnel run(l both seemed to have been obliter- ated. | Winn and Prosky, accompanied by Sullivan, started a search recently and were rewarded by finding what the?’ believe to be the old shaft and tunnel. These will be reopened immediately |and a search made for the lost ledge. in this most remarkable way—that he wants to back up every detail of his tale with incontrovertinle facts. About the year and the date he is positive, but the day, Wednesday, he is not so sure. “They told me,” he declares, “that it fell on a Wednesday, that 18th of April in '02, but I have not yet verified that fact.” . That one’s house should reflect one's tastes and preferences and inclinations has long been conceded, but it has taken the earthquake to demonstrate that the structure wherein one lives is apt to imitate one's good manners. This remarkable and interesting fact was_clearly proven by the actions of the H. M. A. Miller home on the morn- ing of the temblor.

Looks for - Arbitration of All International “ Disputes. . LAKE MOHONK, N. Y. May 31.— | The. address of Cardinal Gibbons on | “The Triumphs of Peace” was the | leading feature of the third session of {lhe Lake Mohonk Conference on Inter- | national Arbitration. | Cardinal Gibbons said that he wanted |to aisabuse the faint-hearted that | Christ's mission on earth to establish | peace had’ falled, and to show that, on |the other hand, his mission had made | decisive and reassuring progress. He | said in part: | . “Let us cherish the hope that the day is not far off when the reign of the dished on the earth, and the spirit of | the Gospel will so far sway the minds !and hearts of rulers and cabinets that international disputes will be decided, not by standing armies, but by perma- | nent courts of arbitration—when they will be settled, not on the, battlefield, | but in the halls of concillation, and will | be adjusted, not by the sword, but by | the pen, which is mightier than the | sword.” Clifton R. Breckenridge, former Min- ister to Russia, after saving that we had much to be gratified at in the progress that had been made toward |the honorable and peaceful settlement of international disputes by arbitra- tion, continued: “The great arbiter of our disputes is the Supreme Court of the United States. For more than a hundred years this august body has been the sheet- anchor, not only of the Union, but also of the States. Cannot a similar and permanent body of illustrious men sit {and command in some like manner the reverential obedience of nations? This leads me to observe, Mr. President, that it is not alone to the superstructure that we must look, however wise and excellent may be its material, perfect its organization or adaptive to the at- tainment of the ends in view. We must consider always = the character and state of maturity of the public mind, for the sentiments and ideals of the people will prove to be the chief sup- port and inspiration of any tribunal that may be established, as they are, indeed, the chief factors in shaping the institutions and policies of every country.” -SRI LRGN LT Lincoln Party Makes Nom tion. - PHILADELPHIA, May 31.—The Lin- coln party, composed of independent Republicans, opposed to the present Re- pnglieln Sutevrerglme. met in g‘nven- Emery for Governor.

A bevy of Miss Morgan's girl friends will act as ushers, and as she is a popular “frat.” sister as well as a favor- ite socially, the concert promises to be a brilliant affair. Miss Morgan will leave for Europe the week following to spend two or more years there in study. Cards for a reception complimentary | to Miss Morgan have been sent out by | Charles R. Dutton, one of BerkeRy's leading musicians, the affair to take place Saturday evening at the studio on Hillegass avenue. e . This evening a benefit concert will be given for Swedish fire sufferers at the Swedish Baptist Church, cor- ner of Tenth and Magnolia streets, Oakland. Professor Adolph Edgren, who was organist of the Swedish Bap- tist Church, San Francisco, up to the time it was destroyed, is in charge of the programme, and as he is a musician of considerable note the numbers have | been attractively arranged. An inter- esting feature will be tne rendering for the first time of a new composition by Professor Edgren, consisting of selo, duet and chorus by a deuble choir. Pro- fessor Edgren was leader of the Phil- harmonic Concert Company of Boston for six years.* R e Plans for the June fete at Idora Park, Oakland, are being rapidly completed.
