OF Toll I'm the Departments.
The legislative, executive, and judicial ap.
preparation bill for tho fiscal year was re-
ported from tho subcommittee to tho full
committee yesterday and to the house yestor-
day. 1t recommends appropriations which
aggregate $2O30S, ,000-an increase Of about
$4,000 rs compared with the amount appro-
priated last year. The recommendations are
based upon estimates aggrCgating S21, 49, 600
and the bill in detail varies little from former
bills. In conversation yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Cannon said that tho amount appropri-
ated was mainly due to the necessary pro-
vision for the increased membership Of con-
gress and TO tho fact that the next Is the long
congressional session, while in the bill of last
year appropriation was made for the present
short session. The bill, he said reduces the
number of clerks of tho class Of copyists in
some of tho departments; but tho committee
recognize the fact that the volume of business
in the departments had increased, and they
have provided therefor by inserting in the
bill the following clause, which will make the
clerical day eight hours in length instead of
seven ns at present:
Hereafter II shall be the duty or the heads ofthe
several executive departments, in tho interest of
tho public service to require OF oil clerks and
other employees, Of whatever glade or class, in
their respective departments, such hours Of labor
as may be deemed necessary for the proper dis.
patch of tho public business, the same. howe ver,
not to be less than from the hours Of $3.50 H. IN. to
$3.50 p. m. each day. except SUNDAYS and days dc.
clargd public holidays by law and all absence
from the departments on the part of such en-.
ploycs In excess of such leave OF absence as may
be granted by the heads thereof which shall not
exceed thirty days in any one year. except in case
of sickness, the sickness to be VouChCd for by
tlicate Of the doctor in attendance, stating spo.
officially tho disability shall bc without pay, and
the salaries Of oil employees in the executive de.
partments receiving annual compensation shall
be payable monthly and not oitcncr.

LegaI stablIity of Govcrnment survey.

In a case of entry of pablo lands by pri-
vato purchase, bordering on private claim,
new survey made in 1857 several years after tho
issue of patent on tho entry in 1919, reduced
the area of the tract entered by several acres.
After the death of the party, another person
bought the tract at succession sale, the same
being described alike in both surveys, paying
for the reduced area given in the resurvcy.
He now files an application for repayment of
tho sum originally paid to the government,
upon the excess represented by the diflemnco
in area, and surrenders up the original patent
for cancellation, asking that new one be
executed according to the later survey. Tho
secretary of the interior holds that this can
not be considered. The whole title passed to
the respective claimants upon the private
grant, and the original entry, and all matters
affecting the same are presumably long since
adjudicated by the proper tribunals. No
question having arisen in :ho lifetime of the
purchaser, and the assignee at the succession
sale, having bought just what ho paid for,
viz: the lesser area, there is nothing before
the department calling for any action what
ever III the premises.

PROPOSALS OF MARRIAGE.
Malay Curious Facts regarding the VaTi
ous Customs ia Different Countries.

| 1T,lay Curious Fs1cts RcOGTdinJ the FGTt-
ous Customs IN Different Countries.
You will find no end of curious things
written about the marriage proposals, says
writer in Demorests Monthly, if yor
search for that purpose. For instance
that eccentric classical character, who goes
into the kitchen of neighbor some morn
ing, and, finding the object of his regard
at the wash-tub, proposes bluntly then and
there. Instead of emptying its contents
upon him. she as bluntly accepts his pro
posal. There is the bashful sup
plant who turns down some
leaf about passage-usuaily
sacred one-which tells his story for him,
and the answer is returned in similar fash
ion. There is the proposal at a ball or
dinner by slip of paper sent across the
room or table, and there is the one IN which
the reply is asked in the form of some
specified and understood signal. In some
book that have read, an English gentle
man who had several eligible daughters
wondered, after waiting for some such
event. why no one of them, not even the
prettiest, got proposal. When he inves-
tigated the matter thoroughly he found
that the failures arose from an architec
tural blunder. The rooms of his house
were so connected together by series OF
open doors and spacious mirrors that the
question could not be put without
exposing it to almost as much
seecularity as it would obtain On public
thoroughfare.
It is quite common for very young Ia
dies to say that their first serious interest
in any young gentleman is aroused by his
previous interest in confessing, IN
other words, that they have no original
feeling in the matter. They would not,
probably, like to say, what amounts to
about the same thing, that one gentleman
is as likeable or as agreeable to them as
another, though they must constantly act
as if it were so, until some particular gen
tleman breaks the spell and gives them
permission to say otherwise. But, what If
the right one should never break the spell,
as often happens? Or what if neither the
right one nor the wrong one does, and no
opportunity ever comes? AS the
system is now arranged this
is not at all rare circumstance,
nor is the lady less worthy, necessarily,
than her differently favored sisters. She
may even be more worthy, but may have
lived more quietly, or may be deficient
simply in that peculiar art of fascinating,
which even silence cannot prevent from
being powerful.
One of the worst features of this unmiti-
gated silence, which is imposed upon one
sex alone, is the insincerity and hypocrisy
which it not only inculcates, but places a
premium upon. Nothing irritates woman
so much as to have any ground given for a
suggestion that she has gone a step out of
her way to secure gentleman's interest or
attention. She would rather be won by g
peasant than move the least bit agrees
lively to win prince. Her natural feel
ings are smothered and suppressed and she
accepts the art1fice which she must put on,
as if it were both reasonable and natural.

The bad aad Worthless

are never initiated or couIterJeited. This is es-
pecially true of family medicine, and it is
positive proof that the remedy initiated is of the
highest value. AS soon as it had been tested
and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters
was the purest, best and most valuable family
medicine on earth, many limitations sprung up
and began to steal the notices in which the press
and people of the country had expressed the
merits of H. B., and in every way trying
to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff
instead, expecting to make money on the credit
and good name of Fl. B. Many others
started nostrums put up in similar style to H.
B., with variously devised names in which
the word ''Hop'' or "Hops'' were used in way
to induce people to believe they we're the same as
Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or
cures, no matter what their style or name is, and
especially those with theword Hop or ''Hops''
in their name or in any way connected with
them or their name, are limitations or coun-
terfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of
them. Use nothing but genuine Hop Bitters,
with bunch or cluster of green Hops on the
white label. Trust nothing else. Druggists
and dealers are warned against dealing in imita-
tons or counterfeits.

He used to take me into a gun-shop. and |
made no my mind that III that shop he had
purchased The revolver, which was OF pc
culiar make, and found that he had. By
conveying to the owner the impression
that Jefferds had himself told me that he
had made the purchase there, the gun
smith fell into the trap, and admitted that
he had not only sold Jefferds the weapon,
but had loaded it for him. Jefferds was
indicted for both murders, but was acquit-
ted of the charge of taking Waltons lie,
and found guilty of killing Mathews. He
was sent to Sing Sing, where he was him
self killed by couple of burglars confined
there.
"While in another confidential mood
Jefferds told me that it was he who killed
DR.. Burdell. You will remember that it
was thought that woman committed the
deed, because there were sixteen knife
wounds found on the body. Well, Charley
told me that when he began the attack the
doctor fought hard, and at one time came
very near getting the best of him; but said
Charley: 4 got round behind him and gave
it to him Just so in the side, and that fixed
him. I told Supt. Walling all this, but he
threw up his hands and said that the work
ing of that murder would spoil the other.
AS Jefferds was convicted of the Mathews
murder, there was no need to try him for
the killing of DR.. Burdell There was a
man named Eckles, whose profile was the
counterpart of Jefferds, who was arrested
on suspicion and discharged. Thatmistake
saved Jefferds from being arrested. What
was the motive? Well he was itimate with
the woman Cunningham,and she,of course,
instigated the crime"
eff Jefferds was sent to Sing Sing for
life for the killing of Mathews, why was he
not tried for the murder or Dr.Burdell and
hanged?' asked the reporter.
"rIl tell you why" said Mr.. Moore.
'sThe law fixing the punishment for murder
was changed to read thus: 'One year in the
penitentiary and then to be put to DEATH
to obviate the necessity of hanging Mrs.
Hartung. Under such a law no governor
could be induced to sign a death-warrant,
and so convicted murderers were sent to
Sing Sing for life to await capital punish
ment. AS he would stay in Sing Sing all
his life, and as that was the extreme pun
ishment, there was no use in again bring
ing him to trial.

Theory of a Former Detectire Relative to
the BurdeU Murder Case.
William B. Moore, now treasurer of a
Theatrical company here, but formerly
clerk at police headquarters in New York
said, in an interview in Pittsburg, Pa, the
other day, that the famous DR.. Burdell
murder was committed by a man named
Charles Jefferds. Moore was detailed to
work up the case of Jeferds, who was sus-
pected of the murder of John Walton and
John W. Mathews in 1860, and became very
well acquainted with Jefferds. He said;
Zone day we attended picnic at
Cutchogue, Long Island. He was
about to take a number of young
ladies out sailing. Before he showed of
he attempted to pull up the sail. The
rings were of rope and did not let go.
They let go suddenly and Jeferds fell
overheard, the boat shooting out from the
shore and over him. holding him in the
water. He was unconscious when taken
out. but was resuscitated after much time
and trouble. When he regained his senses
he said to me: Moore, pray that when
you come to die you may meet death by
drowning
"'Whatr said I, do you pray?'
8 I believe there is God he replied
quickly. 'Oh, 1 heard such beautiful
music and saw such wonderful sights
This narrow escape from DEATH" con-
tinued Mr.. Moore, 'ssemeed to cause him
to become conscience stricken, and he then
confessed to me that he was
guilty of the murder of Mathews.
