An Impo:! ant I'.tint.
During tiie trial of the feialo vs.
Whalen, which came up yesterday
the circuit court, an interesting point 1
in cross examination was developed.
District attorney McBride asked Wh..
len if he was ever before convicted or
felony. Curtis for the defence at ene:
objected and read extensively from a
decision of Judge Thayer in support
of the ground he had taken. After a
little further discussion by Mr. Mc-1
Bride the objection was allowed and
the question not pet mil ted. This is
the first lime this point has eonm up (
here that a witness shall not be obliged
to give testimony against himself by '
answering whether he has been con

"There, look at that, will your'
cned Colonel Amos Tompkins, of
Virginia City, in the office of the Pal
ace last week, indicating a dispatch in
the Examiner telling how a man had
taken a shot at Bishop Whittaker.
The colonel was elated with triumph.
"You see, it says," he continued,
leading the way to the bar, automatic
ally, "that the fellow is a temperance
man and wanted to do up the bishop
because he doesn't stand in with the
high-and-drys. When temperance is
indulged in too long and permanently
it hardens men's hearts, destroys
their better feelings and too frequently
leads them into crime. What'll you
liavcV"'
"Do von know the bishop, col
onel?" "Do I? WThat? Do I know the
bishop? Why shouldn't I? He -was
at the head of tho Episcopal end of
the theological lino over in our state
for ever so many years, and everybody
who has lived in Nevada knows him
and respects him, too, sir. Ho worked
two shifts every twenty-four hours and
would preach at the drop of the hat,
night or day. The only thing any of us
have got against him is that ho left us.
"Bishop,' says I, 'I don't go to
church myself,' but Whittaker and I
were tho "warmest kind of friends
'Bishon.' says I to him on C street one
day, 'don't leave us. After tho long
experience you've had of the civiliza
tion of Nevada the nickel-chip layout
of Pennsylvania wont suit your tastes
at all. Stay where yon are and be a
high-roller among tho high-rollers.'
"But co ho would, and now they've
taken to shooting him. I shouldn't
wonder ir this would settle things and
the bishop'd skip back to Nevada.
No Comstocker can stand a place like
Philadelphia very' long. We ain't
used to tho rough ways of tho front
ier. Nobody." pursued tho colonel,
draining his" second glas3 in luxurious
comfort, "nobody over took a shot at
the bishop over there. The worst
that ever happened him was to be
kicked."
"Kicked!''
"Yes, sir; kicked. It was done in
Virginia City, and I saw it with my
own eyes. It was a winter morning
and tho Bishop was climbing up Tay
lor street in the narrow path in the
snow that the miners had trodden
down on their way to work. Tbe
bishop's a very little man, you know,
but two ladies who were behind him
couldn't get past him. Ho was deep
in thought and didn't hear them.
They wero holding their skirts high
to keep them out of tho snow. The
lady ahead of the other got kind o'
mad at last and cried eut: "Plague
tako yon. Whiffet, get out of the
way and let ladies go by, can't you?"
and with that she let lly a kick that
lifted the bishop clean out of the path
into the deep snow.
"Well, sir, you never saw a man so
amazed as the bishop was, and, as for
tho lady, it's only justice to say that
when sho saw who it was sho'd kicked
she blushed and apologized as any
wonld under tno oircum
lances.
"Ah," said the colonel, wagging his
head and smiling down into his glass,
"we all loved tho bishop, and the boys
at Candelaria were particularly fond
of him. Ho was over there preaching
one Sunday, and after morning service
took a stroll to the outskirts of the
town with a couplo of ladips of the
conerecation. Prospect shafts were as
thick as gopher holes and the boys
were all at work. Sunday made no
difference to them. Half of the holes
belonged to Mike Brannon, an old
friend of mine, a perfect giant, and as
simple minded as a baby. Ho was us
bald as Mount Davidson, and some of
the fellows had told him that if ho'd
nib his head with kerosene oil and
onions, and cut the crown out of his
hat so that tho sun could shine on his
skull, his hair would grow again.
"That was a joke, you know," ex
plained the colonel, but Mike took it
.ill 111, and when the bishop and the
ladies came up to where he was, there
stood ?dike tugging and grunting
away at the windlass hoisting rock,
audthe hot summer sun blazing down
on his shining crown.
"The biohop, one of tho best heart
ed men that over breathed, was horri
fied. " 'Good heavens, man,' says he,
why don't you gel a proper hat? You
will be injured."
'How'll Oi be injured r growled
Mike, straining at the windlass, the
sweat pouring off him.
" 'Your brain will bo injured.'
" 'Brains, is it? Brains?' and Mike
put two-horse power on tho windlass
and landed tho bucket, 'Sure, an' if
Oi had anv brains d'ye think I'd bo
