Flags are used as the symbol of
rank and command, the officers us
ing them being called flag officers.
Such flags are square, to distinguish
them fro tn other banners.
A "flag of truoe'is a white flag dis
played to an enemy to indicate a de
sire for a parley or consultation. The
white flog is the sign of peace. After
a battle parties from both sides often
go oat to the fleld to rescuo the
woanded or bary the dead nnder the
protection of a white flag.
The red flag is a sign of defiance,
and is often used by revolutionists.
In our servico it is a mark of danger,
and shows a vessel to be receiving or
discharging her powder.
Tho. black flag is the sign of pijacy
The yellow flag showB a vessel to be
at quarantine, ^or is the sigp of conta
gions disease.
A flag at half mast means mourn

Dipping tho flag is lowering it
slightly and then hoisting it ngaiu to
salute a vessel or fort.
If the President of the United
States goes afloat, the American flag
is carried in the bows of his bargo or

Tfc* situation three boar* before the
Democratic Monetary Convention to
meet k one of great uncertainty. The
Blend foroea bare not in any way
abated their efforts for a change in
the State Central Committee and at
thia hoar the silrer question seems
to h^re been lost sight of in the fight
tor a new committee, or, at least, such
additions thereto as will place the
silrer men in control of the ma chin
cry of the State Democracy.
The arrival in St. Louis of a dele
gation early this morning has brought
a new. element of uncertainty while
St. Louis delegates can be counted
upon to rote practically solid for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
at id to 1. It is pretty sure that the
St. Louis forces will oppose any radi
cal change in the committee aaconsti
tuted. The concensus of opinion at
ih id writing L> ILat >'<pre will be a
fight in the convention (or the State
Central Committee.
At 9:15 the oommittee met and
selected "Silver Dick* Bland as tem
porary Chairman. Low Love of
Springfield was made Secretary. These
dominations were ratified and com
mittee immediately adjourned. This
movo of adjournment without taking
action on the rumored committees is
taken to be the plan of tho "Bound
money" men to throw whatever
trouble may later arise in the Demo
cratic rankB onto the silver men.
United States Senator Cockrell had
an all night sessiou with leading
membere of the State Central Com
mittee in an endeavor to close tho
breach which seems to be widening
with each hour. Cockrell is on the
conservative side, working for har
mony. He suggested that a resolu
tion be introduced in the convention,
giving the Stato Central Committee
ion-clad instructions as to their du.
ties during the Stato campaign of
189G. Members of the committee
present, however, were opposed to
such action and when the meeting ad
journed no progress had been made
towards cementing the contending
factions.
The convention was formally called
to order at noon by John P. Carroll
after prayer by Rev. Dr. Berry. Mr.
Carroll made a few remarks which
had a tendency to harmonize the con
tending factions. He then introduc
ed R. P. Blaod as temporary Chair
man.
IJIand congratulated the Demo
cratic party upon tlic auspicious
gathering of Democratic hosts for ac
tion upon the freo iiilver question. Ho
Baid the Democrats of Missouri had
met to renew their pledges for bi
rnetalliflin. The Democrats of Mis
souri. he said, sent greeting to the
Democrats of Illiuois with regard to
the declarations already made on this
subjoct. "We have ni.it to declare
for tho freo coinage of silver at the
ratio of IG to 1. and will do what our
constituents have sent us here to do."
After tho committees were selected
the Free Silver Jubilee singers, of
Wnrrensburg, entertained tho conven
tion with freo silver songs.
Colonel W. P. Switzer, of lioono
villo, representing the freo Bilver
Democratic editors of Mis&ouri, who
mot at Sedalia recently, then address
ed the Convention, pledging the sup
port of thoeditora in the tight for the
white metal.
After Colonel Switzer concluded
his remarks, the convention adjourn
ed until 2 o'clock without conten
tion with regard to the State Central
Committo having made its appear
ance.
Tho convention will probably work
to-night.
After tho convention adjourned tho
Committee on Permanent Organiza
tion decided to make tho temporary
organization permanent. Then the
wedge which may end by dividing the
party in Missouri, was inserted in
tho way of a resolution providing for
an jncrenso in tho number of State
Committeemen. Tho resolution adds
ono member from each congressional
district and four at largo.
Tho (Thnirmnn is heroafter to bo
elected by the regular State nominat
ing convention.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted In committee. Tho temper of
the convention will lm tried on this
question, when it meets this after
noon. NMhiflg was done by tho
committees 011 tho resolutions during
recess.
??Hi? convention convened precisely
Bt 2 o'clock nnd tho temporary organi
zation made permanent. Tho resolu
tions for on increase in the State Cen
tral Committee were limn read, Ob
jections were quickly made from two
or three qnnrters. and a call for a di.
vision demanded. The question was
tlnally decided and a vote on tho pro
position lo increase tho committee
ordered. Tho vote resulted in on
overwhelming majority in fator of an
increase. Tho free silver men had At)

The human puzzle struck Wash
ington the otlior (lay. Jfifl name ia
Nixbeno, or Harry Beno, of Port of
Spain, Trinidad, and he is en route to
Now York, whore, he declares, he lias
been offered 825,000 and a ticket back
to Cuba for letting tho doctors ampu
tate his left arm in the interest of
science. Tho human puzzle ia a
short, stocky, looking knight of tho
road, and his great specialty is self*
torture and mutilation. He sticks
pins and needles into any part of him
he can reach, and ho is decorated all
over with scars inflicted by obliging
individuals who at his reqnest have
experimented on him. Tho puzzle
says ho has no physical sensibilities
and no blood in his body. This last
ia vpry thoroughly disproved by a
strong, healthy pulse at the wrist, but
tho former one might beliovo frqro
the fact that he stickn darning needles
through his tonguo and hat pins
through lioth piden of his jaws, while
ho invitee anyone who is interested
and skeptical to run a long bonnet
pin through his biceps or his leg or
any |?rt of hie body they choose.
Ho has a hypodermic syringe nee
din that ho has fixed up for a cigar
ette holder, and this he thrusts
through his windpipo and smokes a
cigarette with his mouth shut. He
| declares that fro docs not wind being
burned and shows p number of scars
which ho taysure from reoont electri
cal experiments, Tho pugzlo la shy

he says, was amputated in Now Or

bleed, and tho proposed amputation
which he says is to take place at

be tho consummation of a long and
interesting public career. After that

Crisp Favors Silver.
Speaker Crisp passed through
Washington lost woek on his way to
New York, whence he sailed for Eur
ope. He was interviewed by tho Na
tional Recorder and spoke as follows
concerning the money question:
?Tho money issue is taking a largo ;
share of public uttention. but it seem* >
to me to be eutirely unnecessary for
this great nation of ours to go abroad ;
in search of credit in order to pre-1
serve our financial integrity. 1 be- i
lieve we are big enough and rich j
enough to take care of ourselves, aud ]
wise enough to devise some equable
monetary system which would put us
upon a sound and satisfactory basis. ;
The silver issue is u very important
issue, and ono that must l>e settled.
I suppose the Republicans will try to
settle ,it at the next session of .
Congress, but I fancy that there will
be some divergence in individual
views.
*1 will not say that tho Sonth is
practically unanimous on the issue,
but it is v?ry strong, I am told by
gold men Ifiat their side is gaining
Btrengtli, but we must wait until tho
matter comes to an issue before we
can test that .
?In my opinion, there is growing
constantly an idea that we riiould
have an increased use of silver in our
monetary system; that then' is not
gold enough to give us the currency
that we absolutely need. Under tho
present system gold is constantly
being drained from the country. A
change should be made."
Should be I ii vent I gut oil.
The Commissioners at their Inst I
meeting ordered tiio Auditor and 1
Treasurer to npiK>rtion certain money J
paid into tho county treasury under ;
protest by the Central Pacilic Hail- j
road Compacy. For the information :
of the taxpayers, we will stnte that on
November 27, 1889, the railroad com- !
I
pony paid under protest the sum of I
?977.77. taxe* due upon the assess- 1
ment of uneurveyed lands in 1889.
As tlio District Attorney of Washoe
county a fow months* ago, collected
judgments against the railrond com
pany for delinquent taxes on nnsur
veyed land' for tlio years 1887 and
1888. the question naturally arises
why the unsnrvoyed railrond Ituids in
Elko county were not assessed in
1887-8. Had they been there would
be more money now in the county
treasury. The next grand jury might
investigate the mntter and iind out
why these lands were not assessed in
1887 and 1888. Tlio failure to assess
them has cost the State and county
uearly 82,000.
Como Mine* Iluuileal.
Senator Boyle was down to Dayton |
from tlio Comatock liist week on bum- '
ness connected with C'omo properties. i
Ho lins bonded tlio Mount Como
group of mines to an English com
pany for 8-10,000 for six months. On
the tenth of this month he will begin
the construction of the tunnel spoken
of to run from ?ho mill in Palmyra
canyon to the Noith Kupidan mine.
This tunnel, wo believe, will bo bo tho
salvation of Como. It will open up
now ground; will run through two
clnims of tho Mount Como group of
mines, now bonded, nnd drain nil the
mines in that section so that tlioy can
bo prospected and worked to a great
er depth. Tho North Kupidan is an
excellent pieco of property, and tho
old Mt. Como has produced a yood doal
of rich oro itself. All tho minoi linvo
boen worked down to tho water level,
nnd show good ore at that dopth, but
the extrn expense of pumping the
water has l>een so great that pros
pecting below that level has never
been done. Tlio Boyle tunnel will
drain nil this gruund nnd allow of this
work boing done to a dopth of over
800 feot. ? Dayton Times.

The Catiirku Wrecked.
Sydney, (N. 8. W.), Aug. 8.? Word
was received hero this morning of
the wreck ot the British steamer
Catterhun. Particulars are somewhat
meagre.
The steamshiv. it appeara, was
wrecked ou the seal rocks off Cape
lluwk yesterday morning during a
K?U*. Tho passengers who numbered
seventy, of whom fifty-five were Chi
nese, were asleep when the ship
grounded. Only three European paa
eenere nnd the second mate were
saved, and the others ure missing, but
it is believed possible that they suc
ceeded in taking to the boats and
were blown out to sea, and may be
heard from later.
A tug which has returned from tho
scene of the ' wreck of the Hritish
steamer Catterlmn saved some of the
passengers and crew. Tho re is now
but little doubt but that sixty persons
were drowned, of whom forty-six
were Chinese.
Second Olllcer Langfar, who had
the watch on deck at tho time of. tho
disaster, states that the night was
very dark, aud suddenly tho steamer
experienced a terrific shock and
foundered in a few minutes after
wards. Tho Chinese made a rush
for the boats, bnt only ono boat-load
reached shore,* The missing sixty
parsengers includo twenty women.
Til? Durrant Caie.
San Francisco, Aug. 8. ? Whon the
Durrant trial was resumed this morn
ing the defendant swore to a pile of
affidavits. Then Attorney Dickenson
for defendant Durrant asked the
court to issue citations for the editors
and city editors of the Chronicle ond
Examiner and for J. P. llarrett, a re
porter for tho latter.
Judge Murphy agreed to their cita
tion for contempt of court in inter
viewing and publishing interviews
with Brown and Nathan.
Attorney Dickenson paid he would
like further time to preparo affidavits
asking for a citation for the editors of
other papers, who also had violated
judicial orders in talking of the case
| to the jurors. Nothing was said of
| tho jurors for answering the reportere*
| questions, neither was juror Drown
I given any opportunity to make a per
! sonnl explanation, which he sitid yea
j.terday he was prepared to make re
I garding himself when tho court would
| hear him.
At the close of this morning's ses
sion another juror was secured in tho
person of P. P. Hooper, a lumber
merchant. This makes eight sworn
jurors, including Brown.
Tito Hom Snako Htury.
A most remarkable affliction, and
one calculated to make one's flesh
creep, has loiuj lieen cii(luro<l by an
old lady of the Willoby neighborhood
near Columbia S. C. . The lady's
name is Phivbe Brown. and
for more than one-third of a cen
tury has carried a live snake
under the akin of one of her arms.
How the re|itilo found lodgment iu
audi a peculiar placo is aa much of a
mystery to Mra. Brown aa it ia to the
hundreds of people who annually via
it her for the purpose of viewing the
apot where the unwelcomo lodger liea
encysted. When tho lady first notic
ed the bow shaped welt on her arm it
waa not more than twp inphcalong, or
larger in diameter than a pin. But
during tho yeara that it Iibb sufely
ueatled in her flesh. absorbing the
woman 'a blood, it has grown from a
mere thread to bo a anake more than
a foot in length nnd as largo aa a lead
pencil. The oyes of tho hideous crea
ture are plainly viaiblo through the
aki.i and the BcaleB can eaaily be felt
by rubbing tho linger upon tho ridge
that ia formed by the Berpent'a
body.
Physicians pronounce it a moat re
markable freak, and have endeavored
without succobs, to prevail upon tho
old lady to have it cut out. ? E*.

Sam Franoisco, Aug. 8.? Answer to
the suit commenced by Charles L.
Fair to test the validity of the trust by
his father's will was tjled this morn
ing by Trustee Qoodfellew.
The oomplaiut alleged tlio Trustees
were in unlawful possession of prop

specifically denies every allegation in
the complaint, and for cross complaint
alleges the Trustees hold property by
virture of a trust created by the will.
Both wiUj are ftilly set forth in the
cross complaint and so pleaded that
their validity will com* directly in

How (loco this, from the Toledo
lilade. (Hop.) strike our Nevada sil
ver Republicans? Senntor Teller,
of Colorado, has taken public occa
sion to announce that he will not I
"follow the Republican party iuto the
gold-bug camp.' The Republican
party is not going into "the gold-bug
camp," neither is it going to follow
Teller into the silver inononietalliHt
camp. Tbo sooner he, and bastard
Republicans like himself, declurc j
themselves Populists, the better every |

Tho Sandwich Inlanders estimate
women by their weight. Tho Chineso
require them to have deformed feet
and black teeth. A girl must bo tat

to satisfy a South Sea Inlander. Af

have their teeth filed like those of u

1'ost: ? Tho only timsiaunrics sent to
China should bo those that carry tiro
and sword. For every native convert
ed, u preacher tins becu killed; the
preacher has remained dead, and tho
moral condition of tho Chinese will
ulwuys bo problematical. Tho boat
wuy to convert a nation is to conquer
it.
Appeal: ? There ia a good deal of
feeling in Gold Ilill over tho appoint
